Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 103 - 83: The Real Treasure Location, Free Labor (Double-Length)
"Excuse me, can we still get fresh milk ice cream?"
...
In the dim alley, Bai Mo found a clean step to sit down on.
The three apprentices next to him were quickly licking their fresh milk ice cream, their fox faces showing smiles.
Bai Mo looked outside the alley, then at the green belt area.
"Is the Alchemy Furnace... under that green belt?"
Quanquan Hu wasn’t sure if it was actually there.
Divine Sense couldn’t detect anything... even if it was, it would be very, very deep underground.
Bai Mo pondered for a moment.
"Let’s try digging shallowly first, let Quanquan Hu observe again."
The three fox apprentices immediately nodded and started to speed up, devouring the ice cream rapidly!
"Take your time, no need to rush."
The rival was still recklessly going fast in the wrong place, so there was no need to hurry.
"If you need to contact me, Black Ears, tap the medicine bottle on your neck with your fingernail.
"Remember, safety first."
After giving instructions, Bai Mo patted the fox apprentices on their heads, white mist rose at his feet, and he drifted into the realm of dreams.
He left the three fox apprentices squatting there, staring at each other, then at the bag filled with gluten beside them. There were still many sticks of gluten in the bag, left for their master. What to do if the master left without taking them and the gluten goes cold?
The three exchanged glances, reached a consensus... the master had matters to attend to, so the disciples should take care and help eat it first!
...
In the green belt, the three foxes donned their Invisibility Cloaks, each holding a small shovel, ready to dig!
They breathed warm air onto their forepaws, gave each other high-fives, and formed a circle.
First, they took out the Vengeance Sword, puncturing a hole into the ground, then poured the Loosening Soil Potion in.
Only to hear the "hiss hiss hiss" sound of leaking air, the soil began to tremble, wriggle, and crack, with wisps of gas spouting out from the cracks!
Once the gas had finished venting, the soil became entirely loose, ready for digging.
Suddenly...
All three of them froze simultaneously.
There was a smell of blood!
The wind carried the scent of blood!
This minor issue wasn’t alarming enough to call the master. To be safe, each of them swallowed a Hidden Breath Pill, hiding their heartbeat, breath, and footsteps, squatting silently in the green belt.
But they heard footsteps approaching, it was a group of people!
Someone was swearing.
"Damn it, the Immortal Technique Committee are a bunch of dog bastards, so aggressive, we’ve lost many brothers to them."
Someone tried to comfort him.
"Boss, maybe the caught brothers can come back?"
Smack!
A crisp slap sounded.
"What a load of crap, which of our brothers doesn’t have a few lives on them, once caught they’re eating lead, survivin’ is impossible!
"But setting aside these crimes, the relics of this world belong to everyone in this world, how dare they monopolize them?
"A bunch of bastards with no sense!"
The little brother who got scolded spoke up again to console.
"Boss, maybe the Immortal Technique Committee is digging in the wrong place?
"Let them crazily dig in the wrong spot, while we go find the real treasure site!"
Smack!
Another crisp slap was heard.
"Shut your flapping lips, stop pestering me!
"Where do you plan to find the real treasure site? With what head...?
"Huh?
"Look over there in the green belt, is it venting gas?"
Huh? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
All the shops on this street were closed, only the night wind whistled by, rustling the leaves.
Quanquan Hu and the other two looked at each other, then at the freshly dosed soil in front of them, still emitting a "hiss hiss" sound.
The privet trees in the green belt swayed, and a dozen or so skinny young men, dressed in work clothes, walked into the green belt, surrounding the freshly dosed soil.
They wore work clothes but were definitely not laborers.
Some carried shovels, others held knives, and many showed fresh wounds, as if they had just been through a fierce battle.
The leader, Huang Mao, stared at the "hiss hiss" venting ground for a long while.
"Do you guys think it’s possible that this is actually the place where the real treasure is buried?"
The little brother next to him frowned.
"Boss, could it be a heating pipe leaking gas?"
Huang Mao frowned.
"Nonsense! Have you ever seen a heating pipe venting gas from the soil?"
...
A group of skinny youngsters talked among themselves, while Quanquan Hu and his two brothers, invisible nearby, furrowed their brows and squinted their eyes, emitting a dangerous aura!
Bai Mo’s paw had already reached into the small medicine box, touching the Vengeance Sword.
Black Ears’ paw reached for the small medicine bottle hanging around his neck but hesitated at wasting a bottle of medicine on these little tricks, thinking it might not be worth it...
Just as they were about to act, Quanquan Hu quietly held them back.
It turned out that these skinny youngsters had already picked up shovels and, with a "poof," started digging one shovel after another!
Huh?
...
The night wind blew.
A dozen young workers swung their shovels, digging clumsily in the greenbelt, soon creating a dust cloud and digging a pit over a meter deep.
Next to them, three foxes hid under the invisibility cloak, squatting in a row, watching as this group dug the earth for them.
Someone wanted to steal the treasures of Fox Mountain... that was absolutely unacceptable!
Someone wanted to help dig pits for Fox Mountain... that was still acceptable.
Poof!
Huang Mao’s freckled face henchman dug his shovel into the ground, suddenly twitching and smoking, collapsing with tremors, foam spilling from his mouth.
"Huh? What’s wrong with the freckle-faced guy?"
"Did he find the immortal artifact?"
A dozen skinny youngsters stopped their work.
Quanquan Hu and his two brothers also approached and looked over.
Huang Mao cautiously stepped forward and glared to inspect.
"Damn!
"No immortal artifact, he actually hit the underground cable!"
Huang Mao kicked the freckle-faced guy aside to cut off the electricity.
"Wake up, you Sequence Nine, can’t die just from electrical shock."
The other little henchmen looked at the big pit.
"Boss, could there be an immortal artifact here? Should we keep digging?"
Huang Mao paused for a moment, then looked at the big pit again...
The pit, under the dim streetlight, was a mess. Inside, they could see the roots of the boxwood, and at the bottom was a small section of cable. Now the pit wasn’t steaming anymore, just an ordinary dirt pit, unlike the place with an immortal artifact.
Considering the proximity of the pit to the construction site of the Immortal Technique Committee, it was actually quite dangerous to dig here and cause trouble.
Weighing the pros and cons...
Huang Mao pursed his lips, furrowed his brow, squinted, and waved his hand.
"Let’s go."
A group of a dozen people carried their shovels and left one after another.
Quanquan Hu, Bai Mo, and Black Ears, the three foxes exchanged glances, watched the backs of the departing laborers, and silently returned to the pit, found a gap, and once again poured in the Loosening Potion.
The earth trembled, wriggled, and cracked, "hissing" vapor leaked!
The group of skinny youngsters who had just walked off stopped their ears and looked back, returned to the greenbelt, and stared intently at the "hissing" steaming pit!
"Boss, what’s going on here?"
Huang Mao furrowed his eyebrows, pursed his lips, squinted...
"Could it be... unstable fluctuations of the immortal artifact, sometimes there, sometimes not?"
The group looked at each other, suddenly enlightened!
"Makes sense!"
"There’s really an immortal artifact?"
"Searching high and low, finding it without any effort!"
"Hahaha!"
The group picked up their shovels again.
"Dig!"
...
The night passed.
In West State City, the weather was bright and clear, and a chilly morning breeze blew through the streets and alleys.
Rattle... as the rolling shutter of the milk tea shop was pulled up again, the milk tea shop reopened for business.
Outside the milk tea shop, not far from the greenbelt, everything seemed normal.
No one noticed that inside the greenbelt, a pit over ten meters deep had been dug!
A van drove up, quietly stopped, blocking the greenbelt. Immediately several large bags of earth rolled out of the greenbelt, were carried onto the van, and were secretly taken away. These bags of earth were the soil dug out from the pit.
And so, silently, the pit inside the greenbelt was dug deeper and deeper.
Beside the pit entrance, Quanquan Hu, Black Ears, and White Ears, the three brothers in invisibility cloaks, stared wide-eyed.
They watched the pit being dug deeper, watched the pit entrance being repaired, made more concealed, watched bags of earth being brought up, watched bags of earth being secretly taken away, and felt quite emotional... perhaps this is what you call professionalism!
Quanquan Hu’s professional confidence was somewhat challenged. Although he had been excavating sites for years, he definitely couldn’t dig such a concealed pit.
He felt something was wrong... furrowed his brow and thought for a long time, finally realizing that his expertise was in site excavation, not sneaky digging!
Sneaky dirty deeds... he wasn’t good at.
Quanquan Hu squinted, nodded, affirming his thoughts.
He tightened his invisibility cloak, and securely held the Loosening Potion in his paw.
