Chapter 498 What is this leading up to! (5000 words)

Several people took out steel shovels and began to dig at the ground.

Then they immediately discovered the abnormality of the land.

This place is indeed not an ordinary land.

Ordinary land is very fast under the excavation of advanced tools in their hands.

But the land here...

Digging is like the land on earth, and one must be excavated with shovels.

The last time this happened, it seemed...

When digging down the prison in the underground world?

The land here is very hard, making it extremely difficult for them to dig.

"We won't dig out any strange things, right?" Zeng Tao asked while lifting the shoveled dirt beside him, "It's very dangerous below the ground, right? Don't those mutant vines and the like come out from below the ground?"

The explorer did not spread the story of the underground world. Although survivors all over the world know that there is a list of underground world exploration activities, their understanding of the word "underground world" is still based on the underground mazes, dungeons and other things I have experienced before.

Therefore, Zeng Tao's understanding of underground dangers has stopped on the vines that emerged from those dangerous areas.

"The underground is definitely not just a little dangerous, little peach." Lou Feier tried hard to shovel the shovel into the ground, pressed it down hard, and did not dig out the soil. "Why is this thing so hard!"

Jin Yue couldn't dig it with her hands, so she raised her legs and stepped hard before digging down a piece of hard soil.

Xu Xin didn't feel any resistance. After all, he was holding a purple-grade steel shovel, but they were all blue-grade steel shovels, which was naturally much more laborious than him.

"You are too weak!" Zeng Tao looked at them proudly, "I'm just digging!"

"You two are responsible for going to see the situation around you." Xu Xin saw that Lou Feier and Jin Yue had no effect here, and said, "Let's see if there is any situation like here."

"I see."

"Oh OK."

The two of them put away the steel shovel in their hands and began to explore around them.

"Yeah!" Keke also ran over with Lou Feier.

"Is that one in your hand a high-end tool?" Zeng Tao glanced at the tools with different styles in Xu Xin's hand and said, "The power of ya should not be greater than that of them, right?"

“…I still have more strength.”

He has to take alchemy potions every day.

Although it is definitely not as good as Zeng Tao and Ma Hongwei, who has a mutated power type, it is still no problem to compare Lou Feier and the others.

Of course, the leg strength is definitely not as strong as Jin Yue.

"Then are you in your hands advanced tools?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Please use it for me. You are inefficient enough, so I'll dig it up." Zeng Tao stretched out his hand to Xu Xin, "You can rest."

...Okay.

He handed Zeng Tao the purple-grade steel shovel.

Then he found that Zeng Tao was right.

She was digging at the speed of holding the purple-grade steel shovel alone, which was faster than the previous four.

The solid ground was easily dug out like tofu under her hands, and the soil and stone chips were splashed.

Soon, the depth of the pit at Zeng Tao's feet reached her waist.

...Is it necessary to dig so deep?

"It's easy to dig below." Zeng Tao threw a shovel of soil out of the pit. "The soil below is very soft, and..."

"Xu Xin, there is something happening here, come here!"

At this time, Lou Feier's voice came from a place not far away forty or fifty meters away.

Is there any situation?

"So you keep digging, I'll go over and take a look." Xu Xin said immediately, and then asked, "You just said, and what?"

"Well..." Zeng Tao moaned in confusion, then shook his head, "It should be my illusion."

"... Let it be clear, don't have any illusions." Xu Xin frowned.

"Oh, it's just... I just felt like I wanted to dig down very much, and I felt like something was attracting me." Zeng Tao raised his head and explained, "But now that feeling is gone."

...What's attracting?

Xu Xin's pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't feel this way.

The difference between Zeng Tao and herself is that she has mutated. Something that can attract mutated creatures is not a good thing.

"Xu Xin? Come here quickly!" Lou Feier was still calling Xu Xin over there.

"Yeah!" Even the voice of Coco came, "Yeah!"

"...I'll go over. You're not allowed to dig again until I come back."

"Oh? Why?" Zeng Tao was a little puzzled.

"Let's talk about it when I come back."

Xu Xin ran towards Lou Feier. Keke asked him to go over, which showed that there was indeed a big discovery.

As soon as he passed by, he saw Lou Feier squatting beside a tree looking at something.

"Yeah!" Seeing Xu Xin coming, Keke immediately ran over, climbed up his shoulder, and then pointed his little paw under the tree, "Yeah!"

"Come on, come on, it seems like this is the message Qin Fu left us!" Lou Feier also stood up immediately.

The message left by Qin Fu?

Xu Xin was immediately shocked and walked up two steps.

On the ground, on the soil next to the roots, several distorted words were left.

The characters look very abstract, as if they are traces left by a child who has just learned to write.

But this is indeed Chinese characters.

【Go quickly, don't get close to here】

It's just these words.

this……

"...Where can I tell that this is the message left by Qin Fu?" Xu Xin was speechless, "Is Qin Fu's font so ugly?"

"Look at this place again!" Lou Feier grabbed Xu Xin's arm and walked a few meters towards the other side, then pointed to the root of another tree and said, "There are also here."

Xu Xin squatted down and looked at the words written under the tree house.

The same, those words.

【Go quickly, don't get close to here】

The font is also strangely distorted, as if it is...

People who have never learned Chinese will draw the same way as each word.

"There are also here!"

Lou Feier pulled Xu Xin to several trees, with such handwriting below.

It can be said that this is the case under the trees in this area.

"Although these characters are a little ugly, they are all Chinese characters." Lou Feier said her thoughts, "The Chinese characters must be written by us survivors, right? Moreover, these characters are written under trees. Have you forgotten Qin Fu's ability? Isn't his ability related to plants?"

"this……"

Xu Xin thought a little.

What Lou Feier said makes some sense.

What he was sure of was that Qin Fu had never left them these handwritings before he disappeared.

Because at that time, he had been talking to him.

He suddenly disappeared during the call and his location was not displayed on the map, which means that he could not have time to do such things.

But, if it is really like Lou Feier said, he...

What makes trees do?

Or something else?

Is this kind of thing possible?

Xu Xin frowned.
