Chapter 546: Pure Natural Gold Art Piece

The tail-less fox acted as if it hadn't heard Wang An's words, continuing to dig at the base of the big rock with its front paws.

Although the tail-less fox didn't pay attention to Wang An, upon seeing the tail-less fox's actions, Wang An still bent down and tried hard to help move the big rock.

Unfortunately, although this rock was only as big as a large vat, under Wang An's exertion, the big rock seemed to have grown into the ground; it was truly, in every sense of the word, immovable.

Wang An stood up and muttered, "Is this rock that heavy? I don't believe it."

After muttering, Wang An loosened his shoulders and neck and squatted down again.

Seeing Wang An squat down, his fingers hooked under the base of the rock, he let out a loud roar of "Ah," and his entire neck and face instantly turned bright red.

Immediately after, the veins on his neck bulged. If Wang An had been naked at that moment, one would have seen that not only were the veins on his neck bulging, but those on his two arms and two legs were also bulging.

And Wang An's entire body was in a state of extreme tension.

It was evident that Wang An was absolutely holding nothing back at this moment, using even the strength he had from when he was nursing.

It had to be admitted that Wang An's strength was indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, the big rock remained immovable.

Some might ask, how could a rock only as big as a large vat be impossible to move? Those who ask this might be touching upon a blind spot in their knowledge.

Normally, a large vat in the countryside, when filled with water, weighs a little over 600 jin.

And one ton of water is 2000 jin, with a volume of 1 cubic meter, so the volume of 600 jin of water is 0.3 cubic meters.

As everyone knows, one cubic meter of rock normally weighs 2.5 tons or more, so a 0.3 cubic meter rock would weigh at least 0.75 tons, which is 1500 jin.

One must know that this kind of large bluestone in the mountains is solid; for one person to move 1500 jin, that really is like talking nonsense.

Therefore, when Wang An discovered that he was exhausted to the point of death while the rock remained immovable, he decisively abandoned this foolish idea and picked up his iron shovel to dig at the base of the rock.

To tell the truth, the reason Wang An hadn't dug at first was because he had discovered that under the big rock was a mixture of small stones and soil.

Fortunately, there were no dense bamboo roots intertwined within it; otherwise, Wang An would have really gone to call Feng Chengmin and Wu Dong and the others over.

It had to be said, the attraction of a gold nugget was still quite large; mainly, it could provide people with infinite motivation.

After an hour passed, Wang An had dug a large, deep pit at the base of the rock that was longer and wider than the rock, and much deeper than the rock was high.

If this scene were seen by someone who didn't understand the situation, they would have thought Wang An was trying to bury himself alive!

Immediately after, Wang An, like a rabbit digging a hole, tunneled horizontally from the side wall of the pit to underneath the rock.

Because he was afraid the rock would fall and crush him to death, Wang An was very careful.

Unfortunately, when Wang An had dug halfway and still hadn't seen a shadow of a gold nugget, Wang An began to doubt life.

Mainly, Wang An began to doubt the tail-less fox's intentions.

If he risked being crushed to death and exhausted himself to death, only to find that there was nothing under the rock, wouldn't that be enough to make him die of depression? Consequently, Wang An grabbed the tail-less fox, which was standing at the edge of the pit watching the fun, and pulled it into the pit, saying to the tail-less fox:

"Come, help me look, where is the gold nugget? If I can't dig out a gold nugget today, I'll bury you in this big pit."

This time, the tail-less fox seemed to understand Wang An's words; even if it didn't understand, it certainly read Wang An's actions. Therefore, as the tail-less fox was grabbed in Wang An's hand, it struggled and cried out, and the sound of its crying sounded quite aggrieved.

Only then did Wang An suddenly realize that although this tail-less fox might not understand human speech, it could understand human actions, or rather, it could feel the attitude humans had toward it.

But the problem was, could this tail-less fox understand his love and need for gold nuggets?

Thinking of this, Wang An grabbed the tail-less fox with his left hand and took out the gold nugget from his pocket with his right hand.

Then Wang An gestured to the tail-less fox, the main meaning being: is there a gold nugget in here?

After Wang An gestured through several sets of actions, he finally realized with resignation that this tail-less fox was simply an idiot!

Sighing, Wang An put the tail-less fox back on the edge of the pit.

Mainly, Wang An suddenly felt that arguing with a fox about a gold nugget seemed... a bit shameful.

Then, Wang An looked at the hole he had dug halfway and jumped out of the pit as well.

The reason Wang An jumped out of the pit and stopped digging wasn't that he had given up and wanted to leave, but because Wang An discovered that this rock had loosened; the side leaning against the big pit had begun to sink slowly.

In other words, this big rock was about to fall into the big pit at any moment.

If Wang An had stayed in the pit to continue digging, he was 90 percent sure he would be sent directly to see the Buddha by this big rock.

After Wang An jumped out of the big pit, he went around to the other side of the rock and kicked the big rock with one foot.

With a loud "thud," the big rock fell perfectly into the pit.

However, Wang An's gaze was instantly attracted by what was under the rock.

Only then did Wang An finally conclude that this tail-less fox was absolutely about to become an Immortal.

Because it indeed knew what he wanted, and it also knew that under this big rock weighing over 1500 jin was the gold nugget he had been searching for all along!

The gold nugget exposed to the outside was in a sheet shape, with an area about the size of three palms, but it wasn't completely connected in the middle; there were several areas the size of a fingertip or finger pad that didn't have gold, but were filled with mud and sand.

Simply put, it was like a basin with several holes in it, then turned upside down and buried in the soil, and what was presented before Wang An's eyes was the bottom of this leaking basin.

Looking at this gold nugget, Wang An subconsciously looked toward the tail-less fox, but the tail-less fox had been scared away quite a distance by the "thud" of the rock falling into the pit.

And at this moment, the tail-less fox was still looking over here with its fur standing on end.

Wang An smiled and waved at the tail-less fox, then picked up his iron shovel and, unable to wait, dug down under this "leaking basin."

After another full half hour, Wang An finally dug out this gold nugget.

Looking at this pure natural gold art piece, Wang An felt comfortable all over, and every pore was excited.

Beautiful, it was truly too beautiful!
