After settling down at the excavation site, the three of them stayed there for two days. During these two days, they did not do anything but simply observed the people around them to understand the situation.
In this excavation site, apart from the laborers, there were twenty-five "players" guarding it. Among these "players" were the two "players" who escorted Jiang Fei and the others there.
However, the main "players", such as Eammon and Ilse, were not here. They were probably helping Jiang Fei with the greedy quest. However, Jiang Fei did not care about that. Putting aside the fact that this was a temporarily created quest dungeon, this planet might have been destroyed after the players evacuated. Even if this was a real planet, Jiang Fei would not have stayed here to be the ruler.
Therefore, the "players" were working hard to complete a quest that Jiang Fei did not care about. As for the quest reward that they were looking forward to, it was even more impossible. Jiang Fei might not even wait for them to complete the quest before he blew up the treasure and left.
After two days of observation, on the third night, when there were no outsiders around, Jiang Fei and the others gathered together.
"Although the 'players' here seem to be heavily guarded, they are actually quite lax. Maybe because this is a reward dungeon, they are not particularly concerned about the possible risks." Isabella had been observing the "players" for the past two days.
"Yeah, I noticed that too. The 'players' usually gather in groups of three or five to gamble. Only when the time is right would two of them reluctantly patrol the excavation site," Gahrona added. She was an Assassin, so it was much more convenient for her to spy on information than Isabella.
"Well, it has been two days now. They should have gotten used to our arrival. Moreover, to them, we are just a group of NPCs who were tricked to help them guard the entrance. So, they should not be on guard against us. Next, it's time for us to work," Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"Hubby, what are you going to do? Are you going to use the Earth Mover to secretly dig up the treasure? "Isabella asked.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy this time!" Jiang Fei shook his head. From his previous observation of the excavation site, the rocks excavated by the "players" were very hard. These rocks could only be cut with a high-intensity laser drill. It was very difficult for the Earth Mover to dive down easily.
If Jiang Fei were to dive down forcefully, he would have to turn on the laser drill. However, the problem was that although the high-intensity laser could cut through such hard rocks, the energy fluctuations it emitted could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the 'players'.
"What are we going to do if we don't drive the Earth Mover?" Gahrona asked.
"Let's dig it manually." Jiang Fei shrugged. Although this method was a bit clumsy, it was very reliable.
"Manually digging? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come! " Bella pursed her lips. Although the three of them were super experts, they still had to hide their energy waves and dig holes at the same time. It was a tough job. Although Bella liked to fight, it did not mean that she was willing to do hard labor.
However, whether she was willing or not, she still had to do what she had to do. Under the cover of the night, Jiang Fei and the other two sneaked out of their residence and sneaked into the excavation site.
As they did not guard against Jiang Fei and the other two NPCs, the 'players' did not arrange for too many people to be on duty at night. During the day, they still patrolled every hour. At night, only one person would come out for a stroll every three hours. Moreover, it was very likely that these people would slack off halfway and go back home.
"Husband, where should we start? Should we find a remote corner to dig? "Bella asked.
"If we start from the beginning, it will be too difficult. Yesterday, I accidentally found an abandoned tunnel. According to the laborers, the tunnel was abandoned because it was dug in the wrong direction. However, no matter how wrong it is, it is still more convenient than digging directly from the ground!" Jiang Fei said.
As they could not use the Earth Mover, Jiang Fei and the others could not finish the excavation in one night. Therefore, it was unrealistic to continue digging the tunnel that the laborers had dug. If they did that, the matter would be exposed the next morning. Therefore, Jiang Fei decided to dig from an abandoned tunnel.
After the three of them carefully arrived at the abandoned tunnel, Bella asked, "Which direction are we going to dig in?"
As they did not know much about the situation here, Jiang Fei and the others did not know the specific location of the treasure.
"To be able to hide so many warships, this underground base must be huge. Since this tunnel is abandoned, it is most likely not dug in the wrong direction, but in the wrong direction. Considering the direction of the other tunnels that I have been to before, it should not be too far off if we dig in the direction of eight o 'clock!" Jiang Fei said after thinking for a while.
After deciding on the direction, it was time to start digging. Jiang Fei and the other two carefully suppressed their own energy waves and only wrapped their energy around their weapons. Then, they began to dig at the hard rocks.
Although the rocks of this mountain were hard, in front of Jiang Fei and the other two experts, even the hardest rocks were like tofu. However, with three people, one longsword and two daggers, using such low-quality digging tools, it was naturally impossible for them to dig very quickly.
"This is so boring. I might as well fight!" After digging for a few hours, Bella could not help but grumble.
"It can't be helped. Let's try not to fight now. In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight these 'players'!" Jiang Fei comforted her.
The three of them continued digging for half the night. When the sky began to brighten, the three of them finally stopped. Then, without even bothering to clean up the stone dust and debris on their bodies, the three of them hurriedly slipped back to their own residences.
In the next few days, Jiang Fei and the other two slept during the day and sneaked into the tunnels at night to dig. Although the tools that the three of them used were not very suitable, with the support of their powerful energy, their progress was still able to catch up with the laborers in a few days.
In these few days, Jiang Fei also sneaked into the tunnels of the laborers almost every day to confirm the direction. Every time the laborers changed directions, Jiang Fei would also make adjustments. So, the location of the treasure could be said to be getting closer and closer.
On the ninth day, when Jiang Fei inserted the Chengying Sword into the rock, he suddenly felt his hand become lighter. This feeling was completely different from when he was digging before.
Crash … As Jiang Fei pulled back his hand, the rock rolled down and at the same time, revealed a large, dark hole in the rock wall.
"We dug through!" A wave of ecstasy rushed into Jiang Fei's heart. They had had enough of the life of a miner for the past few days!
