Chapter 374: Successful Brick Taking
At these words, Qiao Changshun immediately got up, asking anxiously and nervously, “What happened?!”
Qiao Xiaomai grabbed the rope, quickly climbing up the dirt pit using her feet for support. She sat on the edge of the pit and said loudly, “Nothing, I just knocked something over.”
“Be careful, miss.” The guard distrusted and after reminding her, sat back down.
Xiaomai sighed, listening to the movement outside. Seeing the three people start chatting again, she went along the rope down the pit.
The rough hemp rope rubbed against the palm of her hand, causing a burning pain.
Unfazed, she got down from the pit, squatted down, and stared at the layer of earth bricks, her eyes showing determination.
She put away the mountain knife, took out a pair of thin cotton gloves from her space, put them on, bit her teeth, and pushed her four fingers of her right hand hard into the seam between the earth bricks.
Pain.
A lot of pain.
It hurt so much tears welled up in her eyes.
It hurt so much her teeth bit into the flesh of her mouth, filling her mouth with the taste of blood.
But the effect was better than using the mountain knife, the noise was less, and half the length of a finger went in one go.
She had learned this technique from a male god in the second dimension, and reality proved that the male god’s method was very useful.
She thought of the male god with a painful smile, then used her left hand to take a towel from space and stuffed it into her mouth. Biting the towel, she plunged her right-hand fingers hard into the seam again.
This time, the glove was worn through, and her four fingers came into direct contact with the earth brick, as hard as steel.
Her nails broke, and blood flowed out.
The pain was connected to every finger.
This time she cried so much her tears flowed down.
She had lived two lives and had never experienced such intense pain.
Through blurry vision, Chunshang’s face was still so clear. Taking a deep breath, she bit the towel in her mouth, took out another glove from her space, put it on, and continued to pry the gap of the earth bricks with her left hand as a knife.
The pain was indescribable. By the time the earth brick was loose enough to be removed, her fingers were a bloody mess, with intense pain making her temples throb and her body breaking out in a cold sweat.
Throwing the blood-stained gloves back into her space, she took out a clean pair, crying and biting the towel in her mouth, she carefully pulled out the earth brick.
Under the earth brick, a dark piece of iron was revealed.
She felt a pang in her heart and her tears flowed down even more intensely, but this time it was from joy.
This digging wasn’t for naught, her fingers weren’t worn for nothing.
She put the earth brick aside, took off the glove on her right hand, and her bloody fingers touched the iron sheet.
When collecting small things, she could retrieve them from a distance, but for big items, she had to touch them directly with her right hand.
On the wrist of her right arm, there was an extremely faint water droplet-shaped mark, that was her space.
The moment her hand touched the iron plate, the iron plate disappeared, and a huge iron house appeared in her suddenly enlarged space.
Just as Chunshang said, a basement had been built under her house, and this treasure, wrapped in iron, was the items in this basement.
Because of this, she was able to collect this treasure along with the iron sheet into her space.
Looking at the huge iron house in her space, she sniffed, her tears flowing even more fiercely. Damn, this bomb was finally and safely dug out.
It was finally dug out!
She wiped her tears, put on her gloves again, and carefully picked up the earth brick, intending to put it back.
Then she encountered a problem.
Taking out this earth brick is not easy, and even more so putting it back.
The mud layer between the bricks is gone, so the gap becomes larger. When she puts the earth brick back, it almost falls straight down.
