1090 Ran Away? (2/2)

But in that abandoned place, was there anyone she could collaborate with? No, there was no one! She was afraid to find the wrong person who might steal all of the Vital Rice. Then she would lose her last chance!

”Forget it! It's better to fight and save him than to cooperate with others!” Finally, the woman gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try. She had devised a good plan; now it was obvious that she couldn't stop Xu Que, so if Xu Que alarmed the Queen Ant, she would rescue him and they could escape together. Xu Que would owe her a favor and,if they were to cooperate again, he wouldn't have the ungrateful thought of pocketing all of the Vital Rice!

Just then, Xu Que stopped on the mountainside; his eyes gathered strong Spiritual Qi as he looked attentively at the ground. According to the Cave-positioning Technique of the dragon-hunting formula, he was sure that his location was the location with the best feng shui in the whole mountain range. The probability of the existence of a Vital Ant's nest was extremely high.

However, the woman was startled when Xu Que stopped advancing. She thought that he had thought it through and was afraid to move on. After all, the excavation of the Vital Ant's nest usually began from the top of the mountain. They usually began at a location where there was abundant Spiritual Qi, everything then depended on their luck.

But Xu Que's present position wasn't the location with the most abundant Spiritual Qi. In addition, he stood there without moving, so she thought Xu Que was contemplating whether he should go up the mountain or not.

Right away, she opened her mouth and shouted, ”Fellow cultivator, listen to me...”

”Here it is!”Before she finished, Xu Que suddenly shouted, raised the Luo Yang shovel in his hand, and plunged it into the ground on the left! Following which, he skillfully maneuvered the Luo Yang shovel, digging deeper and deeper into the ground!

A moment ago when he stood there motionlessly it was because he was calculating the terrain of that location. With the use of his dragon-hunting formula, according to the practice of a tomb-raider, he found a most secure and easy location to enter; it was obvious that he had succeeded! With the Luo Yang shovel continuously going deeper into the ground, the woman watching from below was befuddled. She had never seen such a shovel nor had she seen an excavation like that. She was totally confused and couldn't understand it at all! But she knew that the Luo Yang shovel that Xu Que used was extraordinary.

That shovel looked strange, but the material was made from pure metal material. It was definitely made by the hands of an Equipment Forging Grandmaster. She even felt that the material was good enough to refine an Inferior Celestial Artifact!

But in fact, Xu Que's Luo Yang shovel was exchanged from the System. He had spent a whole 200,000 Acting Tough Points to get that! He knew the land in this area was very firm and sturdy, and with Wang Qiannian's description of the nest, Xu Que knew that he shouldn't save on his Acting Tough Points. Thus he burned a hole in his pocket to get that Luo Yang shovel.

Once the excavation was successful, he believed that he could absolutely earn back the 200,000 Acting Tough Points!

Bam!

Finally, when the Luo Yang shovel was deep inside the ground, Xu Que suddenly drew out the Luo Yang shovel. The whole of Luo Yang shovel came up and there was a whole pile of soil coming out with it!

Thud!

Then many drops of black liquid were dripping from the tip of the shovel. There was a large black mass mixed with soil. Xu Que was startled and he squinted at it.

”That...that's the head of a Vital Ant?” Suddenly, the woman at the foot of the mountain exclaimed; her face was full of surprise and disbelief. That was Xu Que's first excavation and he actually found the nest of the Vital Ants. The point was that dude could go through the nest and chop off the head of a Vital Ant. If that was made known to the public, it would be…simply appalling!

Bang!

Suddenly, the whole mountaintop shook and gave out a loud noise. The next moment, the mountain range trembled. It was as if a gigantic creature was moving underneath and moving the whole mountain. The location where Xu Que was standing was covered with innumerable fissures! The sturdy mountain was breaking down in that moment, and an imposing pressure and murderous aura were pouring out from the ground and permeating the air.

”Oh no, the Queen Ant is alerted!” The expression on the woman's face darkened and she shouted at Xu Que, ”Fellow cultivator, come back now, quick...”

Before she could finish, Xu Que suddenly kept his Luo Yang shovel, threw down something n a hurry, stepped on two flaming metal wheels, bolted out of the mountain and, in a blink of an eye, he had fled hundreds of miles away.

At that moment, the woman was the only one facing the dangerous situation! She was dumbfounded!

That dude…ran away after he alarmed the Queen Ant?

The point was that he ran away with the help of a low-grade Celestial Artifact?
