Chapter 334: Fox-Style Hole Digging

An explosion occurred inside the Xiao Tao Palace Ceramic Factory. Although because of the unmanned operation, the forest rangers and logistics personnel were not affected, the forest rangers and logistics team members were all quickly retreating.

The explosion area was only a few hundred square meters in the kiln area, but the collapsed area affected could reach more than a thousand square meters. The self-destructing mechanical dogs buried in the factory area could appear at any time with the risk of secondary explosion, and ordinary people were not suitable to continue entering the area to perform tasks.

But there were exceptions here. A man with golden fluffy hair on his cheeks and exceptionally developed pectoral muscles, and a

Their speed was lightning-fast; there shouldn't be any problem getting on the expressway.

Meanwhile, the severely speeding Wang Qiqi and Jin Qianbao had already arrived at the core of the ceramic factory explosion, completely ignoring the still-burning factory buildings, their faces dark as ink, looking gloomily at the collapsed ground.

"Strengthen the electromagnetic shielding radiation surface, and apply to the higher-ups for electronic warfare coordination from an airborne early warning aircraft."

Seeing the situation on-site, Wang Qiqi did not hesitate for even a second, immediately taking out her walkie-talkie to request technical support from military-grade electronic warfare experts for the logistics team.

Seeing the collapsed ground area and the shape and path of the collapse, which all resembled a tunnel, Wang Qiqi keenly realized a problem.

The entire area had electromagnetic shielding; unless there was interference from an early warning aircraft or a reconnaissance ship, it would be impossible to break through the Anquan Bureau's information blockade. The detonation signal was definitely triggered manually from inside the ceramic factory.

And after the ceramic factory explosion, no enemies were seen taking advantage of the chaos to break out.

Then...

The greatest possibility was that the gang hiding inside the ceramic factory had not finished excavating the Spirit Grain ruins, and after they sensed the Anquan Bureau's raid, they detonated the explosives in the factory area for the sole purpose of buying time!

Wang Qiqi could not deduce the reason why they were buying time—was it for the destructive ruin of the Spirit Grain ruins, or to buy time to transmit relevant documentary records outward?

What the possibility was didn't matter much; in any case, just locking down the entire area was enough.

The Spirit Grain ruins were important, though.

But ensuring that the information and intelligence inside did not leak out was even more important.

"What's the situation now?"

An Sheng arrived at the explosion core area a moment later, scanned the surroundings, and asked Wang Qiqi.

"The enemies have been roughly located, but they are hiding in the collapsed ruins of the tunnel, and we currently have no way to excavate the collapsed area, but it's not a big problem."

"The entire area's signals are locked down; once we bring in heavy engineering machinery, we can drag the thieves inside out..." Wang Qiqi said to Master Fuli.

In the field of electronic warfare, although Xia Kingdom's technology cannot be called invincible in the world, if they claim second place, apart from Bharat, no one else would dare claim first.

The early warning aircraft had already taken off, electronic interference and countermeasures had taken the lead, and before long, even reconnaissance satellites would begin to coordinate. The data couldn't run, and the enemies couldn't run either; now it was just a matter of waiting—waiting for the heavy engineering machinery to be brought over to catch those rats.

Once caught, they could be interrogated to see what they were doing in these ruins.

"Wait?"

"Wait for nothing! Notify Wang Ya and have her bring the compass over; I'll dig my way in directly."

Hearing that heavy machinery was needed for excavation, An Sheng immediately showed an expression of irritation, gave an order directly to Wang Qiqi, and turned to run into the factory area.

The enemy was inside, the power of vows was beckoning, and An Sheng understood very well the principle that delays lead to changes; if the items didn't fall into his hands, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

So what if they're hiding in a pit?

As if there's any fox whose family doesn't know how to dig holes!

"I feel... he's more anxious than all of us." The snake woman came to Wang Qiqi's side, looked at Master Fuli, who seemed to be searching for something in the collapsed factory area, and said.

"Master Fuli is as warm-hearted as ever." Although Wang Qiqi didn't know what Master Fuli was doing, whatever he was doing now, the ultimate goal was probably just to smash the faces of the enemies on the other side, right?

"Boom—"

After searching in the ruins for a moment, Master Fuli pulled out an I-beam and stood it up in the ruins. The three lumberjacks looked on with confusion, while Master Fuli stood in place, pondered for a moment, and pulled out a few more I-beams.

When five I-beams were brought together, Master Fuli twisted the steel bars like a twist of dough, binding the I-beams into one piece.

Then, he swung his giant hammer and smashed it against one end of the I-beams; sparks flew everywhere, and the end of the I-beams underwent visible deformation.

"It's here? Use your archaeological knowledge to point a path for me, Master Fuli."

While Wang Ya was rushing over, An Sheng hammered the bundled I-beams into further deformation, shaping them slightly like a twist drill.

"Right there underground, at an angle of about forty-five degrees, advancing two or three hundred meters?" Wang Ya frowned and looked around; three years had passed, and due to the construction of the ceramic factory, the terrain had changed somewhat.

However, Wang Ya opened the compass on her phone and gave the location after a moment.

"Go!"

Master Fuli looked at the spot Wang Ya was pointing to, lifted the bundled I-beams, and smashed them straight into the ground, correcting the angle to forty-five degrees.

Like a pile driver, Master Fuli swung his giant hammer and drove the I-beams directly into the soil, then used both hands to alternately rotate the end of the I-beams, pushing them forward.

During the process of the bundled I-beams advancing, a large amount of soil ran along the grooves of the I-beams to the end.

In the blink of an eye, Master Fuli had already pushed the I-beams into the underground.

"Ancient manual tunnel boring machine?"

The lumberjacks and spirit beasts, who had been watching and were not sure what Master Fuli was preparing to do, were stunned after seeing the purpose of the I-beams. The Monkey King, who was a partner of the Qin Ling golden monkey, was even more dumbfounded.

"Good fellow, good fellow! It's a waste of talent that Master Fuli didn't study at the engineering academy..."

Wang Qiqi's eyes widened, she muttered a complaint, and hurriedly called her companions over to help move the soil.

With Master Fuli's ancient-style tunnel boring machine leading the way, the mere few hundred meters of distance seemed so short; Master Fuli had forcibly drilled a hole in the top of the ruins.

"Zzzzz—"

"What is that?"

The two people staying in front of the main hall of the ruins suddenly heard a harsh friction sound; the two were startled and subconsciously looked at the rock layer above their heads.

A metal rod, its front end glowing hot from friction and smoking, with a circumference that should exceed half a meter, pierced through the rock layer and appeared inside the ruins, rotating at high speed.

"???"

The two were dumbfounded; what was happening in front of them exceeded their cognition, just like when they first saw a beast-transformed warrior, their heads were dazed.
