Visibility was poor at night, and with only a flashlight, it was easy to bump into or even fall into such a pit if you weren't familiar with it.
If someone fell in, into a pit that's over ten meters deep, they'd be splattered everywhere.
Chen Feng shook his head, picked up his things, and walked away from the dangerous place.
Ahead lay a dense thicket of bushes, and surprisingly, there was even grass on the ground, which surprised Chen Feng.
This was truly the first time he had ever seen green grass in this place, and in such large patches at that.
The grass I used to see was all yellow; I had no idea how long it had been dead.
Entering the thicket, Chen Feng's feet were submerged in the grass. He also saw some dandelions that had not yet bloomed.
"Wow, if my mom came here, she could dig here all afternoon with a knife."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
Liu Ping loves digging up dandelions and dipping them in sauce. Sometimes she digs up so many that she can't eat them all, and small vendors come to the village to buy them and sell them in the city, where they're not cheap.
For Liu Ping, this place was like a paradise.
Carrying the detector, Chen Feng walked forward. Since he was already here, why not explore the area?
However, because the area was overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and the path was quite difficult to walk on, Chen Feng's movement speed slowed down significantly.
Moreover, some of these weeds have serrated leaves, and if you're not careful, you can get pulled and leave a red mark, or even bleed.
Therefore, Chen Feng walked very carefully, trying his best not to strain himself.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a four-meter radius of the host!”
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Feng heard the system's voice, so he stopped, drew a range, and began to probe.
Moving slowly through the grass, Chen Feng probed line by line.
When the probe had reached about one-third of its depth, Chen Feng's detector went off.
He squatted down, first brushed aside the grass at his feet, then took out his pickaxe. But when he was about to start raking as before, Chen Feng paused.
This grass isn't as docile as sandy soil; you can just gather it up in a bunch. There are grass roots underneath, and each one is incredibly sturdy.
Chen Feng tried it, and as he expected, gathering too little grass was useless, and gathering too much grass tangled his pickaxe, making it impossible to pull.
Since that's the case, one can only say don't blame Chen Feng for being ruthless.
He stood the pickaxe upright and began to dig forcefully. Soon, with his movements, weeds began to fly up.
Chen Feng simply flipped over the floorboards, making the scavenging process much easier.
After digging, Chen Feng realized why there was such dense weeds here.
The soil here is different from before. It used to be sandy soil, but this is mud. In fact, because it rained yesterday, the soil is still very moist. If you grab it, your hands will be covered in mud.
Based on the contents of his previous diary, Chen Feng guessed that this place might have been someone's vegetable garden or a small plot of land before.
Perhaps the explorers felt there was no value here, so they didn't dig it up and left it there, maybe to grow some vegetables for everyone to eat.
After digging, Chen Feng immediately used a shovel, scooping up large shovelfuls of soil.
Chen Feng quickly dug a pit where the detector had sounded, and piled up a small hill of soil next to it.
"Ooh-woo~"
Chen Feng held up a large shovel full of soil and passed it over the detector. This time, the detector finally gave a response.
Chen Feng tried shaking it, and it didn't fall off layer by layer, but rather in large chunks.
After shaking it a few times, most of the soil in the shovel fell off. When Chen Feng went over the detector again, he found that it had stopped making any noise.
Chen Feng looked at the clods of dirt on the ground, rummaged through them, and felt somewhat helpless.
Normally, you can just use your fingers to rummage around and see where the goods are.
This time it didn't work. Chen Feng dug with his fingers, and the clods of soil rolled back and forth like balls, making it impossible to see where the goods were.
Seeing this, Chen Feng could only pick up the clods of dirt, crush them in his palm, and then search for more.
See this? Chen Feng flicked away the dirt, then picked up a ball of soil, like squeezing a blind box; you never know which ball contains the treasure.
After kneading four balls, Chen Feng finally produced the product. Holding it in his left hand, he flipped it over with his right, and the dirt fell to the ground with a whoosh.
Unfortunately, this item was grayish-white. Chen Feng blew on the silver granule and put it into the bottle.
The silver granules are probably worth about thirty yuan.
Chen Feng stood up, picked up his tools, and continued walking inside.
Chen Feng didn't notice that a blade of grass was wrapped around his ankle. As he walked forward, the grass wrapped around Chen Feng's ankle and gave him a sharp thud.
"Damn, that's it!"
Chen Feng winced in pain, stood on one leg, hugged his right ankle, and put on a slightly painful mask.
Chen Feng examined his ankle closely; there was a red mark on it, and the skin was slightly broken.
Chen Feng frowned, squatted down, picked up the plant, and examined it closely. The plant's leaves had no serrations, but its stem was covered with thorns, making it feel prickly to Chen Feng's hands when he picked it up.
This grass can only scratch your skin a little bit, so it's not dangerous, but it really hurts.
Chen Feng felt a burning sensation in his ankles. He rubbed them slightly, then picked up his tools and continued walking forward, this time being extra careful.
To be honest, he just wanted to see if there were any big shipments here, and he had never been to a place like this before.
Otherwise, Chen Feng would have left long ago. Why would anyone suffer like this? Wouldn't it be better to just relax and play in the sand?
Just then, Chen Feng spotted a small dandelion. He reached out, picked it up, plucked a small piece, and chewed it.
He grimaced at the bitter taste, genuinely unable to understand what was so delicious about it. Anyway, Liu Ping kept saying that it was good for reducing internal heat, a medicinal herb, and a good thing.
Chen Feng carried the detector forward, swallowing the dandelion and taking a sip of water.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, the system beeped again. Chen Feng drew a range and began to probe with the detector.
Just after exploring the first row, before he could even explore the second row, Chen Feng's detector got stuck; a blade of grass had gotten tangled in it.
Chen Feng pulled the detector to the right with force, but it wouldn't budge; the grass was quite tightly wrapped around it.
Seeing this, Chen Feng pulled the detector upwards with force, uprooting the entire plant and sending soil flying.
Chen Feng bent down, reached out and pulled the plant off the detector, threw it aside, and continued probing to the right.
They probed line by line, and this time the detector finally went off on the second-to-last line.
Chen Feng squatted down, placed the detector beside him, and began digging with a pickaxe.
The shovel can't go down into the grass unless you dig it all out; it's full of tough grass roots.
