Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 107 - 85: A Dignified Talisman Genius! (Double-Length)
"What the hell?"
"Dragging a living person into a dream and exchanging them for a spoon?"
"What’s the use of that spoon?"
In the convoy, Tie Shiba stood up, stroking the spoon in his hand... or rather, the Compass.
This was a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact, the Treasure-seeking Compass, crafted using a cultivator from the Divination Path.
Chen Aqian was the only Divination Path criminal in the committee’s prison, highly significant and incredibly valuable. The Treasure-seeking Compass was a one-time use item, with a lifespan of only three minutes!
The price paid for using the only Divination Path, to exchange for this precious three minutes... was quite significant for the committee!
But for the Artifact Refining Furnace, it was all worth it!
He glanced at the secretary next to him.
"Immediately, organize everyone to join me in digging up the Immortal Artifact!"
...
In the deep pit, several laborers desperately swung their shovels, digging deeper and deeper towards the direction of the "Immortal Artifact wave"!
Beside them, Huang Mao was looking at his phone, frowning.
Behind Huang Mao, three foxes were looking at Huang Mao’s phone, frowning.
"This spoon... damn it, the Treasure-seeking Compass?"
"That bastard Tie Shiba turned Chen Aqian into a Treasure-seeking Compass?"
"He really has guts!"
"With the Treasure-seeking Compass, could they find the Immortal Artifact before us?"
Behind him, Black Ears and White Ears both looked at Quanquan Hu in the middle.
Quanquan Hu squinted, gave a crooked smile, his round whiskers trembling, and a sharp fox tooth showed at the corner of his mouth.
What Treasure-seeking Compass?
Could it possibly compare to the Treasure-seeking Fox?
At this moment, his confidence was extremely high, full of inspiration and intuition!
Clang!
Just at this moment, the laborers digging the pit hit bronze again.
They bent down to pick it up, and saw it was a piece of bronze tile.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Quanquan Hu stared at the tile for a while... judging by intuition, the location of the Alchemy Furnace was a bit more to the southeast!
He held the Loosening Potion, ready to give the laborers another "Immortal Artifact wave" guidance later.
...
At the construction site in the park.
At the bottom of the large pit that was dug out, Tie Shiba, wearing bright red armor, with an Immortal Long Sword at his waist and holding the Treasure-seeking Compass, let the Compass spin freely in his palm.
"South!
"Dig a tunnel to the south from here!"
Three minutes was too short to organize large machinery in time. The Immortal Technique Committee members rolled up their sleeves, wielding iron shovels, and took on the task themselves.
Wu Qingyun, especially, carrying the newly acquired Immortal Long Sword on her back, wielded an iron shovel, took the lead, utilizing Sequence Eight’s [Blood Sword] strong physical ability, and began digging furiously!
...
On Fox Mountain, Bai Mo and a group of fox apprentices watched the live broadcast, seeing the floating image in the air remaining monotonous.
But they all fell silent, inexplicably tense.
Seeing the laborers hit another bronze fragment with a "clang", the fox apprentices beamed with joy, cheering!
"Howl howl howl!"
"Howl howl howl!"
Like watching a soccer game and seeing a goal!
When they saw Quanquan Hu secretly sprinkling the Loosening Potion again, correcting the laborers’ digging direction with the "Immortal Artifact wave", the fox apprentices beamed with joy, cheering!
"Howl howl howl!"
"Howl howl howl!"
Like watching a soccer game and seeing a goal!
Bai Mo, buried among the foxes, seeing his apprentices so excited, couldn’t help but become tense as well.
Quanquan Hu was already very capable!
Could he find the Alchemy Furnace before the committee?
...
The committee’s pit was rapidly progressing, guided by the Treasure-seeking Compass, delving deeper into the earth.
Zhang Shan and Lu Yang wielded shovels, showcasing the strong physique of [Bloodthirsty], and were also digging.
Whoosh!
With a shovel down, a gray-haired old mouse escaped in the dark. This unknown gray-haired mouse Immortal Beast had always been there, secretly watching!
"We’re digging so fast."
"Deeper and darker."
"Yeah."
The sunlight could no longer reach, and the committee members wore headlamps.
"We must be getting close, right?"
"I don’t know."
As they swung their shovels, they suddenly heard a crisp "clang" sound from the front.
It was Wu Qingyun’s shovel that hit something hard!
...
On the other side, Huang Mao and his brothers dug deep underground in twisting tunnels, devoid of any sunlight. Similarly wearing miner’s headlamps, they followed the guidance of Immortal Artifact fluctuations and kept digging like crazy.
"Brothers, hang in there! We’re almost there!
"The bronze fragments we’re finding are getting more and more!
"The Immortal Artifact fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger!
"We’re getting really close to the Immortal Artifact!"
Huang Mao was pumping up his brothers when suddenly there was a crisp "clang" sound.
"Another bronze fragment?"
Fragments like these were nothing special; the little brother digging wanted to shovel it out and toss it aside, but...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The shovel probed in different directions, each time making a crisp sound. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"This bronze fragment seems a bit large, huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh!"
A few laborers immediately crouched down and began to scrape off the dirt with their hands!
After some scraping, they discovered that what they had dug up wasn’t just a bronze fragment, but an entire bronze wall! They didn’t know how long or wide it was, just that it lay beneath the earth at their feet, only a small part uncovered by them, revealing itself to touch!
Quanquan Hu’s eyes lit up!
Based on its intuition, the Alchemy Furnace was right beneath this bronze wall!
Found it!
...
"Aoooh! Aoooh!"
In the dorms of Fox Mountain, a wave of cheers erupted suddenly!
Some foxes even jumped off their beds, raising bottles of Ice Grape Tea, wagging their tails, and dancing in circles!
Quanquan Hu really found it!
...
In the deep pit, Huang Mao and his brothers tossed aside their shovels and laughed heartily together.
"Hahaha, we really found it!"
"This time, our brothers are all set for life."
"We’ve searched high and low, only to find it without any effort at all."
"What’s with the fancy words? Without any effort? Our hands are blistered from digging!"
"And the leader, exhausted his Divine Sense right? It’s been tough."
Huang Mao patted the shoulder of the brother beside him.
"Everyone’s worked hard, you all worked hard!
"Once we blast through the bronze wall, take the Immortal Artifact, and exchange it for points, we can enjoy a few good years at the club in the Dark World.
"We can try living in luxury, having everything served on a silver platter by models.
"Hahaha.
"I must thank all my brothers for helping me find the Immortal Artifact!
"And I must thank my brothers for trusting me, allowing me to draw talismans on your backs."
A few brothers chuckled warmly.
"Leader, no need to be so formal. We’ve been following you for over half a year, we all understand your loyalty, how could we not trust you?"
"What’s to fear from the talisman? Just ten years of lifespan."
"We’re a bunch that lives on the edge, facing life and death every day, can we really hope to die peacefully? Who cares about those ten years?"
Huang Mao waved his hand.
"Actually...there’s some good news for everyone, that talisman doesn’t take away lifespan."
Everyone was puzzled, and Huang Mao grinned.
"And there’s some bad news."
His Divine Sense quietly slipped out from the brow chakra, like invisible tentacles, dividing into eight strands, bypassing each brother’s body and sticking to the talisman on their backs!
"That thing doesn’t take your lifespan, it takes the Three Souls and Six Spirits.
"It’s a...Soul Talisman."
Screech...screech...screech...
The sound of skin tearing echoed almost simultaneously.
Eight brothers, caught off guard, were dumbfounded, their Soul Talismans torn off, turned into eight soulless corpses, thumping to the ground one by one.
Huang Mao held his hand open, and above his right palm, there were eight fluttering little human skins, eight freshly made Soul Talismans!
He straightened his back, tugged on his collar with his left hand, fixed his coat, and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Damn it, a prodigious Talisman genius like me buddying up with a few hooligans and scoundrels, what a grievance."
Then with his left index finger, he pointed at the bronze wall beneath him.
"Go!"
With that command, a Soul Talisman "whooshed" towards the bronze wall!
The palm-sized human skin seemed to carry a weight of ten thousand tons, smashing into the bronze wall, with a thunderous boom, shattering the wall completely!
