Several people took out steel shovels and started digging on the ground.

Then they immediately discovered something unusual about the land.

This is indeed not an ordinary land.

Ordinary land can be dug very quickly with the advanced tools in their hands.

But the land here...

Digging is just like digging the land on Earth, you have to dig it one shovel at a time.

The last time this happened, it seemed...

When digging down into the prison in the underworld?

The soil here is very hard, making their digging extremely difficult.

"We're not going to dig up anything weird, are we?" Zeng Tao asked as she pushed the shoveled dirt aside. "It's dangerous down there, right? Don't those mutant vines and the like always come out from below the ground?"

The explorers did not spread the news about the underground world. Although survivors around the world knew that there was a list of underground world exploration activities, their understanding of the word "underground world" was still limited to the underground mazes and dungeons they had experienced before.

Therefore, Zeng Tao's understanding of underground dangers was limited to the vines that emerged from those dangerous areas.

"There's definitely more danger underground than meets the eye, Little Peach." Lou Feier struggled to dig the shovel into the ground, pressing down hard but failing to dislodge the clod. "Why is this stuff so hard?"

Jin Yue couldn't dig with her hands either, so she just raised her leg and stomped hard, finally digging out a piece of hard soil.

Xu Xin didn't feel any resistance. After all, he was holding a purple-grade steel shovel, but the others were holding blue-grade steel shovels, so it was naturally much more difficult than him.

"You're too weak!" Zeng Tao glanced at them proudly, "I just dig casually!"

"You two should take charge of checking the surrounding situation." Seeing that Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue were of little use here, Xu Xin said, "See if there is a similar situation here."

"I see."

"Oh, okay."

The two men put away their shovels and began to explore the surroundings.

"Hmm!" Keke also ran over following Lou Feier.

"Is that a high-level tool in your hand?" Zeng Tao glanced at the different tools in Xu Xin's hand and asked, "Your strength shouldn't be greater than those two, right?"

"...My power is still greater."

He has to take alchemical potions every day.

Although he is definitely not as good as Zeng Tao and Ma Hongwei who has the power type mutation, he has no problem comparing with Lou Feier and the others.

Of course, his leg strength is definitely not as good as Jin Yue's.

"So, is that a high-end tool in your hand?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Give it to me. You're so inefficient. I'll do the digging." Zeng Tao extended her hand to Xu Xin. "You take a rest."

...Okay.

He handed the purple-grade steel shovel to Zeng Tao.

Then he found that Zeng Tao was right.

She dug faster with the purple-grade steel shovel than the four people before her.

The solid ground was easily dug up by her hands like tofu, with dirt and stone chips flying everywhere.

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

Do we have to dig so deep?

"It's easier to dig down there." Zeng Tao shoveled a shovel of dirt out of the pit. "The soil down there is very soft, and..."

"Xu Xin, something's happening over here, come over here!"

At this time, Lou Feier's voice came from about forty or fifty meters away.

Is there anything going on?

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

"Hmm..." Zeng Tao murmured in confusion.

Then he shook his head, "It must be my illusion."

"... Explain clearly, don't get any illusions." Xu Xin frowned.

"Oh, it's just... just now I felt like digging deeper, like there was something underneath that was pulling me in." Zeng Tao raised her head and explained, "But now that feeling is gone."

...something is attracting?

Xu Xin's pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't feel that way.

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

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

"Bing!" Even Coco's voice could be heard, "Bing!"

"...I'm going to go over there for a moment. You're not allowed to dig until I come back."

"Huh? Why?" Zeng Tao was a little confused.

"I'll tell you when I get back."

Xu Xin ran towards Lou Feier. Keke had called him over, which meant there was indeed a big discovery.

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

"Boo!" Seeing Xu Xin coming over, Keke immediately ran over, climbed onto his shoulders, and then pointed her little paws at the tree below, "Boo!"

"Come quickly, this seems to be a message Qin Fu left for us!" Lou Feier also stood up immediately.

The message left by Qin Fu?

Xu Xin was immediately startled and took two steps forward.

On the ground, on the soil next to the tree roots, were a few distorted words.

The characters look very abstract, as if they were left by a child who was just learning to write.

But it is indeed Chinese characters.

[Go away, don't come near here]

Just these few words.

this……

"...How can you tell this is a message from Qin Fu?" Xu Xin was speechless. "Is Qin Fu's handwriting really that ugly?"
