Daniel returned to the ship, and soon returned with all of Gavin's luggage and threw it on the ground together: "I don't see what an excavator is, you can find it yourself." ”

"Don't litter, what if you break it?" muttered the goblin, picking up the hand-held portable excavator from a pile of boxes.

At first glance, this thing looks like a conical metal lump at the front, the thickest part is more than a meter in diameter, almost the same as Gavin's height, if it weren't for a bracket connected to the main shaft in the middle, and a few small wheels underneath, the goblin would not be able to move it.

"Where's this portable?" asked Fincher Mayor, squinting.

"Isn't it inconvenient to carry it, isn't the big ghost easy to get back?" Gavin immediately retorted.

"You bring one with you? It's not for big men. "Finch was-for-tat.

Gavin snorted from his nose: "You are rare and strange, you have never seen a serious large excavator to say such ignorant words!"

"Yo, you're well-informed, but you don't even know what the sky looks like. Finch showed no signs of weakness.

"Don't talk nonsense, we're going to dig down now, you still want to go to heaven?" Gavin wrinkled his nose.

"Okay, let's dig down," Finch nodded, "This thing is so heavy, I'll see how you hold it!"

"That's it!" Gavin said, adjusting the angle of the excavator and turning back to Luca, "Do you want to start digging from here?"

Phil hurriedly walked over, picked up a twig and sketched him on the ground, telling him the basic direction of digging. However, he didn't know much about the root system of the sacred tree, and could only say an approximate location.

"Crete, can you locate the bottom tendril?" Phil asked, looking up.

Crete shook his head: "Beneath the ground, something seems to be blocking my view. ”

This is not a common occurrence, and what can obstruct his vision has only occasionally occurred in places controlled by the power of the Void, and when there is an explosion of magical energy.

"Just dig like this, maybe it's the tree that's sick that affects your vision. Phil said.

"Then I'm on!" Gavin shouted, flipping the switch.

The excavator jumped happily and let out a deafening roar, burrowing into the dirt below. Gavin's hand clenched the handle tightly, and his entire body flew sideways, and then disappeared into the one-meter-diameter hole in the ground.

They waited for a while, and after about half an hour, the sound below the ground suddenly stopped, and after a few more minutes, Gavin bounced straight up and down from the hole.

"Yo, he'll be flying!" Lukka said, looking at the goblins in a parabolic motion.

A second later, Gavin fell to the ground and rolled around several times before stopping. Only then did everyone see that he had tied himself to a small chair, and under the seat seemed to be several powder cartridges that had been depleted. It seems that the goblins bounced themselves up with the reaction force of the gunpowder explosion.

"Did you dig a place?" asked Phil quickly.

Gavin untied the safety rope tied to his body, rubbed his waist and got up, and said, "How can it be so fast? I dug about a third of the way, I need to rest, that thing is about to shatter my bones." ”

"How long are you going to rest?" Dolan was a little anxious, it was getting late, and depending on the situation, it might be delayed until tomorrow daylight to continue to treat this sacred tree.

"Give me some water to drink, let me rest for an hour," Gavin said, "According to the Basic Welfare Law of Miners in Deep Mining City, the ratio of rest and working hours must be at least 2:1 when new machinery is put on trial, you can't let me violate my own regulations, right?"

"Is your machine complicated?" asked Ollie, as she said.

Gavin shook his head: "It's not complicated, hold the handle, push forward is to start digging, pull back and stop, tie the safety rope and press the button on the chair to pop out the same way." The excavation route is set in advance, so there is no need to adjust, and the excavated walls are also reinforced at the same time, so there is no need to worry about the danger of collapse. You are in the boiling sea, and you will definitely not find a more worry-free excavator than this. ”

"In that case, how about I try it?" asked Ollie.

"You?" Garvin looked her up and down a few times and shook his head, "Definitely not!"

"Why? I'm stronger than you, and I'm definitely better than you. Ollie asked.

Gavin said, "You're too big. If you go down, your body can only be horizontal in the passage, and you can't hold the handle at that angle, and your body can't fit into the safety ejection seat, how can you come up?"

Lukka took two steps forward, picked up the chair and looked at it. Indeed, everyone present is not shutting up, except for the two short men, only Phil, who is about ten years old, can barely fit in, and even twelve-year-old Thea has some difficulty.

Disguise or shrinkage can solve this problem, but before Lukka can decide what method to use, Phil volunteers loudly: "I'll try!"

"Are you really going to go? This thing doesn't seem very safe. Nora was a little worried.

"Why is it not safe? There will be no problem!" Gavin felt that his professionalism had been seriously challenged.

Lukka shook his head and said to Phil, "Even if it's not dangerous, you can wait a little while before you go." ”

He turned to look at the hole in the ground and continued: "Gavin said that the excavation progress is only one-third, so it is better to let someone else dig another third, and you can go to the last section, and by the way, you can use potions on the roots of the tree." ”

"That's a good idea!" Ollie agreed.

"Wait, you're not going to let me go, are you?" Finch suddenly realized that he was the only one left in the right shape here.

"If you don't want to go, of course I can't force it. Lukka said that he had planned to use a spell to change Daniel's shape.

Gavin, who was resting on the chair, suddenly sighed, looked up and said to Ollie next to him: "In comparison, the goblins are more useful mechanically, and do gnomes have any advantages besides eating less?"

Ollie was not very cooperative, and did not answer, Gavin had to talk to himself: "But the goblins don't eat much, so even eating less is not an advantage." ”

Finch's face flushed, and he hesitated and said loudly, "You don't have to be so weird! I'll go!

He walked up to Gavin, gritted his teeth and asked, "Tell me the essentials again!"
