Chapter 2824 Excavation
"To be precise, the probability of the surveying device having problems is low. I think there should be a vein of mind crystals underneath. We will know after we give it a try."
At the side, Su Guantong stretched out his hand and a multifunctional engineer shovel appeared in his hand, and he began to dig downwards towards the original spot.
"Okay, I'll help too."
Zaka agreed and started digging downwards with Zat beside him.
Fang Heng stepped aside, flicked his wrist, and two rune papers appeared in his hand.
call out!call out!
The rune paper was thrown far away and exploded simultaneously in mid-air. Two Lickers jumped out of the explosion and quickly condensed into two meat cocoons after landing.
"Chi, chi chi..."
The flesh cocoon beat rhythmically.
Su Guantong turned his head and saw Fang Heng controlling the Licker, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Licker!
Before, she didn’t see the appearance of the Licker clearly because she was far away in the desert, but this time Fang Heng used the summoned creature in front of them without any hesitation, and she saw it clearly!
That’s right!
It's the Licker!
A summoned creature that Fang Heng once used.
Judging from the intelligence collected, Fang Heng is able to control large numbers of Licker creatures, and even rely on a large number of Licker groups to fight against the Holy Court troops from the Divine Realm on the battlefield!
The strength of each Licker has been determined by the Federation to be an elite unit in the high-level gaming world.
Extremely difficult to deal with.
Su Guantong looked at Fang Heng.
She was now 100% certain that the person in front of her was undoubtedly Realm Master Fang Heng!
However, since Fang Heng chose to conceal his identity, he must have some concerns.
Su Guantong decided to pretend not to know.
Zaka and Zat also saw the licker, and their hearts were moved.
"Fang Heng? Your summon?"
"Ah."
Fang Heng nodded slightly.
After five minutes, the transformed Licker with enhanced stealth skills broke out from the meat cocoon.
The two modified lickers used their evolved forelimbs to quickly push away the ground. Under the surprised gaze of Su Guantong and others, the lickers quickly dived into the ground and disappeared.
Huh?
Su Guantong's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Digging? What a fast speed!
In just seven seconds, the two lickers had completely dived into the ground and disappeared, leaving only two holes in the ground.
Zaka and the other man also cast surprised looks at Fang Heng.
Use summons to explore for ores?
Is this okay?
Zhaka was stunned for a long time before he said, "Brother Fang Heng, you are really capable. I admire you."
Fang Heng's expression was calm, and he let go of his own perception to control the actions of the licker.
The underground sand layer in the forest area is much more solid than that in the desert area, so the efficiency of the lickers in digging is slower.
Soon, after going more than thirty meters deep into the ground, the licker discovered an underground cave.
"found it."
Fang Heng controlled the Licker to climb up again and said to Zaka and the others, "There is an underground cave area about 32 meters below us. I think the real entrance to the cave should be somewhere else."
Zaka swallowed carefully.
Wow, we dug more than thirty meters down, how long has it been?
If they were to dig it out manually, it would take at least half a day.
Zat asked: "Can you confirm that the Mind Crystal is inside the cave?"
"It cannot be confirmed yet. We need to go down and see for ourselves."
The connection between Fang Heng and the Licker can only rely on mental perception and game prompts, so he has no idea whether there are any mind crystal ore below.
While they were talking, the two lickers had expanded the excavation channel, returned to the ground again, and stopped in front of Fang Heng.
"Okay."
Fang Heng took a step forward, lowered his head and checked the bottom of the passage, nodded and said, "I have confirmed that there are no alien insect creatures below. I will go down first, and you guys follow."
After saying that, Fang Heng jumped directly down into the dark cave.
Zhaka and the others looked at each other, nodded, and followed Fang Heng to climb down the pit.
……
The cave below is more than thirty meters deep.
Inside the cave, an unknown mineral emits tiny bits of light, providing a dim glow that illuminates the surroundings.
After Fang Heng landed, he quickly looked around.
The caves clearly show signs of being excavated, and towering stone pillars can be seen around them.
The stone pillars are similar to those seen outside, and they are also inlaid with soul gems.
"There are traces of human excavation here. It looks like an underground building of some ancient race. It seems that no one has been here for a long time."
Zat and his companions followed Fang Heng and climbed down from the gap above. After landing, they quickly looked around and found nothing special, so they turned their attention back to Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng, did you find anything?"
Fang Heng walked to a large stone pillar in the cave, reached out and took the mind gem off the pillar and held it in his hand to observe.
[Hint: Player discovered the Soul Gem (Quality: B)].
"No, the stone pillars here are similar to those outside, and the level of the mind gems embedded on them is also similar."
"Everyone, come and take a look at my place." Su Guantong tracked to the side of the stone wall with the surveying instrument and said, "The energy reaction of the spiritual crystal here has greatly increased."
Carter walked to Su Guantong and tried to knock on the stone wall with the hilt of the sword. Feeling the force and sound transmitted back from the hilt, he frowned.
"It seems empty."
"Let me do it, everyone, please move aside a little."
Fang Heng walked to the stone wall, an alloy metal stick appeared in his hand, and then he swung the metal stick and smashed it hard at the stone wall.
"boom!!"
The entire stone wall exploded with a loud bang from the heavy blow of the metal, and large chunks of stone fell from the ceiling.
After clearing away the rocks, an area of ore that had been mostly mined was revealed behind the broken rock wall, with many ore mining tools still left everywhere.
Zat walked forward and checked. He looked at the pickaxes scattered on the ground and tried to analyze: "These tools have been left here for at least several decades. In addition, it seems that the tools were made very roughly. Could the people who built the cave be the natives of this world?"
Zat looked puzzled. "For some reason, the natives built the caves outside here and covered up the mining area. What was that for?"
"Don't worry about it. It happened hundreds of years ago. The natives of this world have been exterminated by the Zerg. Why do you still want him?"
Zaka curled his lips and took out a multifunctional engineer shovel from his backpack, and continued: "Anyway, let's try to dig up a batch of spiritual crystals first, and then bring them back to hand in the task, right? Fang Heng?"
"Well, let's start mining and bring back a batch of ore to see the situation first."
Hearing that Fang Heng had no objection, everyone present nodded, took out the engineering shovel from their backpacks and began to dig the mind crystal ore.
Fang Heng also picked up an engineer shovel and dug a few times in the mining area.
[Hint: Players obtain the Mind Crystal Ore (Grade: C)].
Game prompts appear on the retina.
Since Fang Heng’s mining skills have been maxed out, the level of the Mind Crystal Ore he excavated is slightly higher than that of others.
The trouble is that after loading 100 pieces of ore in the backpack, it is in a full load state. Each additional piece of ore will greatly increase the weight and will be subject to a variety of negative effects including a reduction in movement speed.
For veteran players like Zaka, the skill of mining ore is also a must. With the help of high-tech engineer shovels, everyone quickly filled a backpack with supplies.
Then, they collected most of the gems on the stone pillars below the cave. Fang Heng looked at the time and nodded, saying, "Let's go back to the ship to deliver the mission." (End of this chapter)
