Still not entirely reassured, Chen Feng pulled out his phone and started searching online.
I sat there for more than twenty minutes, glancing up every now and then to see if the snake had come out.
Finally, through his relentless efforts, Chen Feng found the information about the snake.
The color, pattern, habits, and habitat are exactly the same as this snake.
"Gentle and non-toxic..."
"My God, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
After seeing that it was non-toxic, Chen Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
"As long as it's not poisonous, that's fine." Chen Feng picked up the detector and bravely began probing around the snake hole.
Although he knew it wasn't poisonous, Chen Feng was still afraid. He was naturally afraid of these wriggling things, so what could he do?
The four-meter radius around the area filled Chen Feng with dread.
What if that snake is in a bad mood and suddenly appears and bites me?
As he probed line by line, the detector remained silent, and Chen Feng had a bad feeling.
Damn, is this thing inside a snake hole?!
Even after exploring the entire vicinity of the snake cave, the detector remained silent, and Chen Feng's expression turned into that of an old man taking a subway phone.
He ran the detector over the snake hole, and sure enough, it went off. Chen Feng howled in pain.
"Damn it, so it's true that there are always ferocious beasts guarding the vicinity of treasures!"
"Damn it."
Chen Feng picked up the small pickaxe and gave himself a pep talk.
They say a human's reaction time is seven times that of a snake's, so I'm sure I can dodge a snake, right?
Swallowing hard, Chen Feng used his pickaxe to dig fiercely into the snake hole, then jumped back instantly.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Chen Feng dared to continue forward.
Chen Feng dug with his shovel again, then suddenly dodged backward.
He was afraid that the snake, hidden by the sand, would leap up and crawl into his arms.
And so, Chen Feng would dig and jump, dig and jump.
Chen Feng was exhausted even though he hadn't dug up much soil.
He suddenly realized that the arduous task of squatting on the ground digging in the dirt didn't seem so bad anymore.
Although he hadn't dug up much, Chen Feng couldn't collect that much anymore, so he carried the detector through the sand.
The detector made no sound, so Chen Feng placed it back on the snake hole.
"Ooh-woo~"
The sound that used to be so pleasant now made Chen Feng feel like the detector was mocking him.
"Look how scared you are, hahaha~"
Chen Feng took a deep breath and could only continue digging at the snake hole. Perhaps because the snake hadn't moved, Chen Feng became bolder and was able to dig out a little more soil each time.
After digging a few times, Chen Feng would check the sample with the detector. He really hoped the goods would come out quickly so he wouldn't have to torture himself like this.
Finally, after pulling the detector over three times, it made a sound on the mound of earth, proving that Chen Feng had dug out the goods.
Chen Feng, holding a small shovel, squatted beside the mound of earth, absentmindedly working the soil while his eyes were fixed on the snake hole.
After countless shovelfuls, Chen Feng finally managed to get the detector to react with the shovelful of soil in his hand.
Upon hearing the sound, instead of shaking off the soil to sift out the goods, he grabbed the shovel of soil, picked up the detector, and ran to the side, quickly getting away from the place.
That's really scary.
Once he was a little further away from the snake hole, Chen Feng felt relieved and sat down on the ground, gently shaking the soil out of his shovel.
After shaking off a third of it, Chen Feng didn't see any goods fall out; it all seemed to be sand.
But just to be on the safe side, Chen Feng still checked the detector. The detector beeped, and it showed the same thing as what Chen Feng had seen.
After shaking off another third of the shovelful of soil, Chen Feng started digging with his hands.
Soon, a small, dark yellow piece appeared in Chen Feng's shovel.
"OMG…"
Chen Feng felt a great sense of relief upon seeing the small gold nugget, his heart filled with immense ease.
He picked up the gold and polished it, feeling that his hard work hadn't been in vain.
"This piece of gold is alright," Chen Feng weighed it in his hand, estimating it to be worth around 1,400 or 1,500.
After putting the gold into the small bottle, Chen Feng had some difficulty standing up, and his legs felt numb and swollen.
It's true, it causes numbness. If you make someone jump backwards for more than ten minutes, they'll all get numb.
If he jumps for another ten minutes or so, he'll probably be able to comprehend sword energy.
If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll end up with a sword-like aura when you leap back.
Taking his tools, Chen Feng walked past the snake hole, and the snake didn't come out until he left.
Chen Feng was constantly battling wits with thin air, unsure whether the snake had actually escaped through another underground opening.
Anyway, it didn't come out, which made Chen Feng quite relieved.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Feng's system still hadn't beeped. He found a rock to sit on, took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, and drank more than half of it.
I lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and I couldn't tell if it was just a quick puff or if it was actually getting warm.
He felt the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so he bought two fisherman's hats when he went home this time. Wearing them would block out a lot of the sun, but ever since he put them on, he felt a stuffy heat on his head.
"Damn, if I wear too much of this stuff, I'll go bald, won't I?" Chen Feng wondered.
He's only twenty-five; if he already has a receding hairline, wouldn't that be terrible?
After taking a short break, with half a cigarette dangling from his lips, Chen Feng continued walking forward, carrying the detector.
After walking over a small slope, he saw that the bushes ahead were quite lush, so he went over to investigate.
After walking around the bushes, the system beeped when I reached the back of them.
Chen Feng was overjoyed to hear the system's voice and eagerly picked up his pickaxe, ready to give it a try.
"Haha, the inevitable has finally arrived. Let's see which unlucky guy will be the lucky one today!" Chen Feng's gaze swept over the bushes in front of him, as if he were flipping through cards.
Carrying the detector, Chen Feng probed row by row, even extending the detector into the bushes to make sure he didn't miss any goods.
Finally, the detector went off between the two outermost bushes.
The location of this plant is some distance from these two shrubs, so it seems like normal digging will suffice, and there shouldn't be any tree roots underneath.
"What a pity."
Chen Feng shook his head. The location of the goods was good, but his expression was actually a little disappointed.
Otherwise, we shouldn't have come for nothing; let's dig up a shrub first to test the waters.
After thinking about it, I decided against it. Why would I just be making trouble for myself?
Anyway, we'll find those hidden under the bushes sooner or later, no rush.
Chen Feng squatted down at the location of the goods and began to scoop soil with a small pickaxe.
This method of raking soil is good for any area; it's fast, convenient, and covers a large area.
The only downside is that it gets your hands and forearms dirty. After scooping up some soil, Chen Feng's hands are covered in fine sand, and his arms get muddy after sweating a little.
It's much dirtier than digging with a shovel.
After scooping up a pile of soil, Chen Feng pulled over the detector and ran it over the pile.
