Chapter 43: Digging A Hole
Hearing Gao Si’s words, Shi An’an understood. She looked serious and said, “Please tell me the exact position of the Queen Insect Nest!”
Gao Si didn’t understand what Shi An’an wanted to do, but he still told her and led her directly above the Queen Insect Nest.
The others stood in place. Out of respect for their leader’s face, they coldly watched Shi An’an make trouble.
Yes, they had always thought this little girl was making trouble!
An Yi glared at the group. “Do you know who this girl is?”
Xu Li had a cold face. “Boss, she is your daughter, but we also think she is too reckless!”
Hearing this, An Yi felt a pang in his heart and angrily laughed. “Have I been too lenient with you lately?”
Xu Li’s expression stiffened. “Cough… Boss, that’s not what I meant. It was just a metaphor! A metaphor!”
An Yi coldly glanced at Xu Li, then looked toward Shi An’an. He saw her squatting on the ground with both hands pressed against it.
He tossed out a sentence: “This is the biological daughter of your former Commander who went missing for eighteen years and was just found!” Then he quickly walked toward Shi An’an.
“What?!”
Xu Li and everyone who heard this were stunned, staring blankly at Shi An’an. Only then did they realize that this girl… really looked exactly like their Shi Commander!!!
At this time, Shi An’an closed her eyes tightly and sent her spiritual sense downward.
Sure enough, at a position nearly a thousand meters from the ground, a massive nest suddenly appeared.
The huge nest was filled with large and small stones piled up. Shi An’an wasn’t sure if there were insects inside, but the possibility was probably very high.
Because she had already noticed that many of the stones had shapes very similar to those stones containing insects.
“An’an? An’an?”
An Yi walked over, looking puzzled at Shi An’an. He looked toward Gao Si, silently asking.
Gao Si also looked baffled. “Just now… what did she say… wait for her to take a look?” What was she looking at? How could she see anything with her eyes closed?
At this moment, Shi An’an opened her eyes and stood up.
“How big does the cave entrance need to be?”
“Huh?”
While quickly searching through all the seeds, Shi An’an continued to ask, “How big of a cave entrance do you need to enter the nest?”
“Big enough for three people to pass side by side.” An Yi immediately said.
Shi An’an nodded. “Okay, wait a moment!” After saying that, she found what she wanted.
Based on her earlier observation of the nest’s interior, Shi An’an said, “We can go straight down from the middle. Is that okay?”
“???” As soon as Xu Li and the others came over, they heard Shi An’an’s question.
“Or do you want to go from the side… Uh, right, you should have scanned the internal map of the underground nest, right? Then just tell me where to open it, and I’ll make it there!” Shi An’an looked at Xu Li, asking him to confirm the position.
Xu Li and the others didn’t quite understand what Shi An’an meant, but looking at the familiar face, Xu Li quickly pulled up the scanned image.
“I think the safest position is here, but this is the closest to the ground, and there’s such a high mountain above it. If there’s any carelessness, there could be a collapse…”
Shi An’an closed her eyes and quickly scanned that position up and down with her spiritual sense. “It’s fine, no problem.”
After saying that, Shi An’an took out a few small seeds and tossed them on the ground.
Everyone looked blankly at the seeds on the ground. “???”
The next second, everyone: “!!!”
They saw the few small seeds on the ground sprout, then burrow into the soil and disappear.
Then, they saw the spot where the seeds had disappeared constantly undulating, as if something was wriggling inside.
An Yi looked at Shi An’an sitting on the ground meditating, quietly standing by her side to protect her.
Shi An’an quickly urged those few purple vine seeds to extend downward.
Yes, flowering purple vines. There was no choice; when Shi An’an bought climbing plants back then, they were all flowering types. They would need to go down along them later, so she chose thornless purple vines.
“Look, what is this?” someone shouted.
Everyone looked over and saw several thick green vines tightly wrapping massive soil and broken stones, rising into the air.
“Everyone, get out of the way!” An Yi shouted loudly.
Xu Li and the others immediately dodged quickly, while those in the distance who saw this scene all ran over.
“Boom!”
A cloud of dust rose. The vines quickly withdrew, continuing to extend toward the large cave entrance that had already been dug out. On the ground was a pile of soil and broken stones.
Then, everyone saw these vines continuously digging out pile after pile of broken stones from the cave entrance…
Everyone watched this scene in shock, constantly exclaiming in amazement. They had never seen green plants capable of doing this.
Xu Li and the others had slightly pale faces, looking at Shi An’an with some awe and reverence. They blamed themselves for their earlier disrespect.
An Yi watched this scene, marveling once again at his niece’s abilities in his heart. It seemed he needed to act faster!
Only Gao Si looked worried at Shi An’an’s increasingly pale little face. “Boss, her state seems off.”
An Yi looked down and saw An’an’s bloodless face. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately squatted down. “Bring the energy liquid!”
Shi An’an opened her eyes and said weakly, “Not that, I want spirit stones!”
“Spirit stones! Gao Si, go move them quickly!” An Yi shouted loudly.
Xu Li and the others also noticed something wrong with Shi An’an and hurriedly went with Gao Si to move the stones.
Soon, the spirit stones were brought over. Shi An’an opened her eyes, holding one spirit stone in each hand, quickly replenishing her spiritual power.
The crowd noticed the vines’ movements had stopped. Then, sharp-eyed ones saw that the vines had become a bit thicker.
Shi An’an quickly absorbed the spirit stones, feeling discouraged in her heart. She had overestimated herself. Accelerating the growth of the vines and then using spiritual power to control them, she couldn’t continue after digging halfway. Sigh, she still needed to cultivate diligently and break through to Foundation Establishment soon!
At this time, the scene was completely quiet. Everyone looked at the vines, then at Shi An’an, back and forth like this.
Moments later, Shi An’an finally replenished her spiritual power. She happily discovered that her cultivation level had advanced another layer.
“It’s moving! It’s moving again!”
Shi An’an controlled the vines to dig downward again. This time, because her cultivation level had made a small breakthrough, the speed was much faster.
Finally, under everyone’s gaze, a huge cave entrance appeared. Shi An’an directly commanded these vines to intertwine with each other and hang down along the cave entrance to make it convenient for them to go down.
“Done!”
Shi An’an opened her eyes, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled as she looked at the cave entrance.
“Sorry for taking so long. You can go down now.” Shi An’an said apologetically to Xu Li and the others.
She knew that if they used the laser cannon, they could blast out a cave entrance in an instant, while her method had indeed delayed them quite a bit.
