Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 98 - 81: Seventh-Grade Immortal Artifact! An Immortal Artifact That Stores Pill Fire!
The newly excavated subway tunnel lies deep underground, dark, eerie, with the scent of earth.
A group of Immortal Technique Committee members, holding flashlights, are at the end of the tunnel, examining the pillars unearthed from the soil.
Dozens of Immortal Technique Committee members, none of high Sequence, but covering various Paths.
At this moment, someone immediately spoke.
"Looks like the text of the Immortal Artifact Path.
"I’m not at Sequence Nine yet, so I’m not sure.
"But it looks very familiar to me."
Besides him, another member of the Immortal Artifact Path echoed.
"It looks familiar, very much like the text of the Immortal Artifact Path."
Everyone looked at each other at the end of the dark, damp tunnel, their hearts growing eager!
Is this the relic of the Immortal Artifact Path?
Could we possibly unearth an Immortal Artifact?
Wu Qingyun nodded... Preliminary assessment, this is a relic of the Immortal Artifact Path.
...
In the dark, deep tunnel, a mouse lay on the soft soil, listening intently to the conversation of the people in the distance. Upon hearing the words "Immortal Artifact Path," its eyes immediately lit up!
Not far away, a giant worm as thick as a fist secretly emerged from the soil, trembling slightly at the words "Immortal Artifact Path."
A little farther back, White Claw, wearing an Invisibility Cloak, glanced at the mouse and the worm, feeling they both seemed sneaky!
Thinking this, it tightened its Invisibility Cloak. Coincidentally, this place wasn’t far from its master’s house, and the master had sent it to check the situation.
White Claw saw that Wu Qingyun in front had already waved his hand to give orders.
"Bring out the ’Human-like Tree.’
"Test for safety."
More than a dozen Immortal Technique Committee members took out flower pots from the boxes they carried with them. In these pots were identical plants, small trees twisted into human shapes! They were incredibly human-like, with facial features, eyebrows, even ear and nose holes. Its nostrils were even slightly breathing.
This plant has no significant use, the only characteristic is "fragility." If there is any danger that can harm humans, it will surely harm it!
The group of Immortal Technique Committee members immediately grabbed shovels and began digging deeper into the relic. One person dug while another followed with the Human-like Tree.
...
As the soil flew ahead, one Immortal Technique Committee member after another unknowingly dug deep tunnels, entering various directions into the relic.
In the back, the mouse and the worm hiding in the soil were fully focused on the excavation results.
White Claw, wearing an Invisibility Cloak, squatted there with squinting fox eyes, also observing.
After half an hour, one by one, the members retreated from their respective tunnels.
Wu Qingyun put down his shovel, brushed the dirt off his sleeve.
"Is the Human-like Tree still fine?"
A group of members responded in unison.
"Still fine."
"Still fine."
"Doing well."
Wu Qingyun nodded... Preliminary assessment, the relic is safe and will not affect the surrounding citizens.
The Special Equipment Department arrived late with equipment and greeted Wu Qingyun before starting to set up. They brought a high-precision geological radar. After some operation, a 3D image of the underground relic appeared on the screen.
"Looks like an independent relic.
"At a depth of thirty to fifty meters underground, not large in area, about over two hundred meters in the east-west direction and over four hundred meters in the north-south direction."
The group of Immortal Technique Committee members felt slightly disappointed. In a dream, such a small relic couldn’t usually yield much. If they could excavate a few inscribed copper plates, it would be considered a blessing.
But they turned their thoughts to reality, thinking relics in the real world might be different?
In the back, the eavesdropping mouse and worm retreated back into the soil.
White Claw, ears perked, listened to the information, then gingerly left and soon vanished into the tunnel.
...
The sky over Fox Mountain remained as ever, overcast with thick clouds.
The howling wind swept through the mountains.
After finishing the herb farm work, the fox disciples all came to the ruins, swinging shovels to dig the earth.
In the pit, Quanquan Hu swung a small bronze shovel, digging swiftly.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but it felt like it had gained some insight, experience, a sense when it came to excavation!
For instance, recalling the stone walls it dug today, it felt like digging leftwards might lead to something good.
Plop, plop...
As it dug shovel after shovel, it suddenly stopped. This shovel felt off!
It reached out with a paw into the soil.
Scraping the soil away, feeling with its paw...
Swoosh!
It pulled something out from the earth, shaking off a heap of yellow soil.
"Huh?"
The object it held in its paw was transparent?
It immediately flipped the thing over, seeing on the other side a rough-textured beast skin.
Another Invisibility Cloak!
"Hooray!"
Quanquan Hu jumped for joy, immediately dashing out of the pit to show off the cloak to its siblings!
...
Soon after, it jumped back into its pit to continue digging.
Swinging the small shovel, slightly absent-minded.
It just tried to share its experience with the siblings, realizing it had nothing to say.
This left it puzzled.
Had it really learned a technique, or was it a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat?
Wondering, it continued digging.
Poof!
This time, the shovel struck an extremely soft patch of soil. Digging into it revealed this patch was much softer and darker than the surrounding earth.
Quanquan Hu frowned.
With its experience and intuition, encountering such soil here meant this area was poor, unlikely to yield much, maybe a few Stone Slabs at most.
