Chapter 937: Chapter 233: Another Small Iron Plate [Ten Thousand Words!]
Fang Che frowned: "I’m confirming my suspicion about the borders the Demon Beasts are excavating... It seems evident now, they’re undoubtedly searching for something."
Yan Beihan glared with round eyes: "How did you confirm it?"
Fang Che blinked: "Wasn’t that your hypothesis?"
"But I haven’t confirmed it."
"So I confirmed that your hypothesis is correct."
Yan Beihan was wide-eyed: "..."
What is he saying, I can’t understand.
"Let’s go, return, it’s getting dark. This time, we can try getting a little closer from here."
"Alright."
Yan Beihan is quite the curious one as well.
It’s impossible to sleep without understanding such bizarre events.
At night, the two moved their hiding place quite a bit forward.
Then, they prepared in advance to reinforce the covering above their bodies.
As expected, when the moon reached the sky, the Demon Beast Group reappeared in large numbers, surging from all directions.
They frantically worked through the night, surprisingly without any disputes among them.
Each did their own work.
You dig your hole, I’ll dig mine.
At dawn, they howled away once more.
Fang Che went out again for various experiments.
Continuing for four days.
Fang Che discovered that the excavation direction of the Demon Beasts was steadily heading towards the southeast.
Grand and imposing, they dig all the way through.
Incredibly, some Demon Beasts would excavate already dug areas yet again, digging deeper... then follow the main group ahead.
Extremely disciplined.
Didn’t see any powerful Demon Beast in command, but every night, these Demon Beasts would come to dig holes, absolutely never arriving late. At dawn, they would leave collectively; there were no stragglers.
Just like the Guardian Hall, coming on duty and leaving on time.
"This seems like... a job?" Yan Beihan also realized and was shaken by her discovery, putting the Eldest Lady Yan in quite a stupor.
"Can’t understand."
Fang Che summarized succinctly.
The two of them felt very relaxed now. Here, they were incredibly safe.
Initially discovering so many powerful Demon Beasts, they thought they were done for this time. Who would have thought this place was safer than any previous place?
The Demon Beasts only concerned themselves with their work, completely ignoring the two ants that appeared here.
The two of them relaxed, practicing every day, taking strolls in the beasts’ work area by night.
Yan Beihan didn’t want to go after a few times, as it’s just piles of rocks, what’s so interesting about that.
But Fang Che still went every night.
Irrepressible enthusiasm.
"What do you do going there every day?" The Eldest Lady Yan felt slightly annoyed.
When Fang Che went, Little White Tiger and Little Bear also went with him, leaving her all alone.
After staying alone for two nights, she started following again.
However, she found it boring when she went.
The most useful thing was holding the Little White Tiger in a place to be a landmark for Fang Che. Later on, there was no need even for a landmark...
Just watching Fang Che sprinting back and forth every night, not knowing what this lunatic was doing!
Eventually, she also started sprinting back and forth with Fang Che.
Fang Che was surprised, looking shocked: "You’re sprinting too?"
"Yes."
"Why are you sprinting?"
"Why are you sprinting?"
"I’m practicing Qinggong."
"I’m practicing Qinggong too."
...
Fang Che was speechless.
But Yan Beihan was actually reminded by this and started practicing Qinggong with Fang Che every night. Within a few days, she saw significant results.
Meanwhile, Fang Che was somewhat speechless, I wasn’t practicing Qinggong, Eldest Lady... But Yan Beihan’s opportunistic method of cultivation had a profound impact on Fang Che as well.
With her intelligence, as long as she doesn’t fall prematurely, she might really become a formidable opponent for a Guardian someday!
Fang Che continued to follow the Demon Beasts towards the southeast, moving his campsite forward every time they expanded.
Slowly sensing the rich white light from the iron piece in his sea of consciousness becoming increasingly clear. The pulling sensation growing more familiar.
Little Bear stayed on his chest, acting spoiled, never getting down.
Moreover, obedient and well-behaved, its dependence on Fang Che grew stronger.
Yan Beihan snatched a few times, Little Bear would squeal like it was almost getting beaten to death, very unwilling. After cursing a few words about ungratefulness, Yan Beihan stopped bothering, just played with the Little Tiger.
Not knowing how long they followed, the white light finally stabilized, no longer increasing.
The iron piece inside seemed more rounded.
Now it didn’t look like an iron piece, more like a small Jade Token.
Finally... on this day.
After continuing to excavate ahead... Fang Che finally felt a strong attraction.
A very clear feeling: it’s right here!
The Demon Beasts didn’t stop.
After finding nothing, they continued to push forward.
During the day.
Fang Che held Little Bear, standing on a pile of excavated rubble.
The iron piece in his sea of consciousness swirled wildly, with an impatient feeling.
It’s right here!
Fang Che looked down beneath his feet, paused in silence.
Then turned around and left.
Now isn’t the time. If any move would attract the just departed Demon Beast Group back, it would spell disaster.
As Fang Che walked back, leaving the area he stood on.
The iron piece in his sea of consciousness spun fiercely, showing intense unwillingness.
Little Bear stayed obediently on Fang Che’s chest, quite calm.
"Why are we going back so early today?"
Yan Beihan asked.
"A bit tired today. Let’s go back and rest early."
Fang Che looked at the direction the Demon Beasts continued expanding towards, speaking with a deep voice.
"I don’t believe you, you’ve definitely discovered something."
Yan Beihan didn’t believe Fang Che’s nonsense at all.
"I did discover something. But the Demon Beasts haven’t left far enough."
