The antelope walked over to the small clearing and began to dig at the earth with its hooves.
"Is there some treasure buried there?" Zhou Wen was curious and crawled into the grass and soon came to the side of the open space.
The antelope dug very quickly. When Zhou Wen arrived at the place, it had already dug more than one meter deep, and the dug soil was piled next to it.
Zhou Wen took a look at the dug-up soil and immediately knew why there were no plants growing here. What the antelope dug out was not soil at all, but a gray-black ash that looked like lime mixed with some metal powder.
I stuck my head into the pit and looked inside, and sure enough, there was still that kind of metal powder underneath.
"Old Sheep, what are you digging?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.
The antelope ignored him and continued digging.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, "This antelope is usually so arrogant, not caring about anything. He's also the laziest, like a boss. Now he's actually digging a hole himself, there must be something good underneath."
Thinking of this, Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Old Sheep, it's not convenient for you to dig the soil with your hooves. How about I help you dig? If there's anything good underneath, how about you give me half?"
The antelope looked at him, thought for a moment, then raised its front hoof and gestured towards Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was completely confused, thinking, "You only have a hoof and no fingers, what's the point of gesturing to me?"
Seeing that he didn't understand, the antelope wrote two words "two percent" on the ground with its hoof.
Zhou Wen finally understood what the antelope meant by comparing its hooves. There was a fork in front of its hoof, which looked like a V gesture and could also represent two.
"Twenty percent is too little. How about a little more, 40% or 60%?" The antelope ignored him and continued digging.
"Twenty percent, twenty percent. I'll help you dig." Zhou Wen felt that he had nothing better to do, so he might as well help it dig. He could save time and get a share of the profits, so why not do it?
The antelope jumped out of the pit and pointed downwards, meaning for him to go down and dig.
Zhou Wen didn't know how to dig by himself, so he summoned the Tyrant Behemoth. The two horns on the Tyrant Behemoth's head were like rotating electric drills, and it dug holes very quickly.
What surprised Zhou Wen was that the metal powder below was indeed not ordinary stuff. Even with such strong power, Tyrant Behemoth was unable to directly penetrate the metal powder layer.
After drilling for a while, they only dug more than ten meters deep. The metal powder they dug out became darker and darker in color, as black as coal.
Moreover, these metal powders have a smell, which is not bad, but like the smell of ink on newspaper.
"Old Sheep, what's down there? How deep do we have to dig?" Zhou Wen knew that the antelope had a high IQ and would definitely be able to answer him. It just depended on whether it was willing to tell him.
The antelope stretched out its hoof and drew two words on the ground: "Eight meters"
"It's still eight meters deep. It looks like we have to dig for a while longer." Zhou Wen calculated that the metal ash would be harder to dig the deeper he went. It would probably take another forty to fifty minutes.
After thinking about it, I simply took out my phone and played the dungeon for a while, waiting for Tyrant Behemoth to dig out the things.
I brushed the dungeon for a while, but didn't get anything good.
The antelope suddenly nudged him with its hoof. Zhou Wen knew that he must have dug up something. He walked to the side of the deep pit and looked down. He saw that the Tyrant Behemoth had dug a pit about 20 to 30 meters deep.
However, the Tyrant Behemoth's body was too huge, almost blocking the deep pit. Zhou Wen had no choice but to let it out first and then look down.
This time, I really saw something in the deep pit. It looked like a wooden stake, about fifty to sixty centimeters in diameter, and was completely black. However, there were growth rings on the cross section, so it must be wood.
Antelope pointed at the wood and pushed Zhou Wen, obviously asking Zhou Wen to bring the wood up.
Although the wood looked very big, Zhou Wen was quite strong now, so even if the wood weighed several tons, it would not be a problem for him.
However, Zhou Wen didn't want to take any risks, so he asked Tyrant Behemoth to go down and pull out the wooden stake.
Tyrant Behemoth grabbed the wooden stake with both claws and pulled it hard. However, the stake did not come out directly, but just moved a little and rose about 10 to 20 centimeters.
Tyrant Behemoth pulled the stake up again and again, and more and more of the stake was exposed. When the entire stake was pulled out, it was about three meters long.
Tyrant Behemoth placed the wooden stake on the ground. Zhou Wen looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed a piece of wood, probably a section of some tree, and the bark was quite intact.
Zhou Wen didn't know what kind of wood this was. The bark and the core of the tree were black, almost as black as charcoal, but it didn't feel dirty at all and was a little cool to the touch.
"Old Sheep, is this the treasure?" Zhou Wen asked the antelope beside him.
The antelope nodded and circled the wood several times, as if examining something.
"What's the use of this wood?" Zhou Wen didn't find anything special about this piece of wood. Apart from being a little darker and heavier, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
The antelope pointed at the wood and then at Zhou Wen's shoulder, as if asking Zhou Wen to carry it.
"If you don't have a place to put it, I'll keep it for you first. You can ask me for it when you need it." Zhou Wen said quickly.
The antelope glanced at Zhou Wen, which made him feel uneasy. However, he did not expect the antelope to nod in agreement.
Zhou Wen was overjoyed. He reached out to lift the wood and found that it was not as heavy as he had imagined. He could still lift it.
Originally, Zhou Wen thought that Tyrant Behemoth had to use so much force to pull it out, so he shouldn't be able to lift it.
After opening the chaotic space, Zhou Wen put the large piece of wood in.
"Old Yang, what is the use of that piece of wood? Tell me." Zhou Wen wanted to get some information from Old Yang. Otherwise, even if the whole piece of wood fell into his pocket, it would be useless to just keep it there.
The old sheep ignored him, crawled out of the grass on its own, and then returned along the way it came. It was obvious that it came here just to dig up the wood and had no intention of disrupting Zhou Wen's route.
After returning to the fork in the road, Zhou Wen walked in the right direction and continued to head towards the imperial capital.
After walking for a while, Zhou Wen suddenly felt something was wrong. He felt uncomfortable all over, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Am I overthinking it?" Zhou Wen used his listening skills to carefully check his surroundings, but found nothing wrong.
After walking all the way and entering a city, Zhou Wen found that something was indeed wrong, because the people walking towards him, both men and women, looked at him with strange eyes, and some women even smiled at his face.
"What's going on?" Zhou Wen was puzzled. Although he thought he looked good, he was not popular with everyone. Now that everyone turned their heads to look at him, he felt a little uneasy.
