Chapter 173: The Door Is Gone

Long Bai speculated that the crater created by the starship's treasure trove fell to the ground was more than 200 meters in diameter, and most of the place was backfilled with a mixture of stones and sediment during the long geological changes, forming the lush woodland around it as seen today.

Only in the center is an oval marsh with a major axis of about 50 meters and a minor axis of about 40 meters.

Responsible for the excavation are 90 special chemical ants, 90 large worker ants, the number is not much, but they are all elite advanced level, large size, fast speed, high efficiency.

In the afternoon, when the sun is about to set, work begins.

Work in the dark.

After a busy night, I dug down a layer about 80 centimeters thick.

Sunny day with no clouds.

Semi-dry clay, the workers dig with their jaws and shovels, and the ground is dug up and down, and there are small pits, which increases the evaporation area of water in disguise.

After a day of exposure, the mud is dried.

It doesn't need to be too dry, the worker ants will not sink when they walk on it, and the worker ants can shovel up and transport them away with their jaws together.

When the sun went down, Heti commanded the workers to get to work.

At the designated stacking point, the dragon cypress commanded 30 soldier ants and was responsible for "unloading".

In the middle of the night, I shoveled a 30-centimeter-thick layer down.

The next day, the sun shines for another day.

At night, the colony digs up another layer with a thickness of 30 centimeters.

Comparatively easy work.

Summer temperatures are still rising, and it's the hot season of the year.

You need to work almost all night every day, and you can dig down a layer of about 50 centimeters.

There was a torrential rain on the way, and water accumulated in the pit.

Long Bai led 30 blue soldiers to exert their water control ability and drain the rainwater in time.

At a depth of five or six meters, the mud layer gradually becomes dry and hard.

Below is the precipitated gravelly clay.

You don't need to be exposed to the sun, you can dig it directly.

The aura of the treasure trove of primordial metal also became clear.

After careful investigation, the excavation was narrowed down to 10 meters in diameter.

It was dug down to a depth of two meters overnight.

The next night, in the second half of the night, the ant colony suddenly erupted in joy and cheering, and the pheromones that lifted the ant hearts spread through the forest.

Heti ran over.

"King, come out! Go over and take a look! ”

"Good!"

Long Bai flew towards the excavation site.

Follow the slope to the bottom of the pit.

What was revealed was the section of the Primal Energy Metal Plate, the kind of metal dedicated to the Starship Treasury, solid, with a thickness of more than 10 centimeters, and the fracture was torn.

It's hard to imagine what kind of energy can tear apart the treasure house.

"Heti! You go command the soldier ants. I'll command the worker ants! ”

With a wave of its tentacles, the dragon gave orders, directing a team of worker ants to excavate around the exposed metal plates.

It was soon discovered that the tear fracture ranged from 2 to 5 meters.

Attached below is at least one well-preserved vault chest, over 8 meters wide and about 3 meters high, slanted deep into the earth, of unknown length.

Take a day off.

At dusk, Long Bai personally commanded and continued to dig down.

"Stop!"

In the middle of the night, Long Bai suddenly jumped into the pit, shook his tentacles, and gave an order: dig this way!

A team of worker ants stepped forward and excavated at the designated place of the dragon cypress.

At the edge of the cabinet, a circular hole with a diameter of 10 cm was cleared.

Inside the starship that straddles the divine power barrier, each vault room has several similar holes, and the function is unknown.

The dragon cypress raised its claws to clasp away the clogged clay and stones, and swept its spiritual power into the treasure house.

It's all water.

After a little pondering, he shook his tentacles and gave orders.

The specialized blue soldiers on standby above immediately took action, standing at a distance of about 2 meters, forming a straight line.

The dragon cypress activated its ability to control water, and the water in the silted treasure house turned into a column of water with a diameter of 10 centimeters, which flowed backwards and soon converged and condensed into a water ball with a diameter of half a meter.

Long Bai controls the water balloon and passes it to a specialized blue soldier next to him.

This specialized blue soldier controls the water balloon and passes it to the next one......

Pass them in turn, send the balloon out of the deep pit, and teleport it to be discarded in the distance.

In the same way,

The dragon cypress constantly draws water from the treasure trove and condenses it into a water balloon and sends it away.

Sensing a different movement here, Heiti hurried over.

"How's it going, King? Found a treasure? ”

"Nope. Somewhat troublesome. The inside of the treasure chest is full of water, and the lower layer is full of mud and sand. ”

"Oh-"

Heiti stepped forward and took advantage of the gap between the water balloons passed by the dragon cypress, lying down at the entrance of the cave and looking inward.

Long Bai's tentacles pointed and said, "Heiti, you command the worker ants to dig down against the metal outer wall, open a straight passage, and first explore the length of this treasure house." ”

"Yes, King!" Heti agreed, directing the worker ants to work.

Using the ability to control water to drain the water, the consumption was quite large, and after passing hundreds of water balls in a row, the Blues began to run out.

Long Bai ordered to eat and rest.

Recover well and continue draining.

During the day, the sun is hot, go back to the ant nest to rest, and continue in the evening at sunset.

Heiti commanded the worker ants, sloping down the treasure house, digging a straight passage, and soon the results were obtained.

"King, you've dug your head!"

"Okay."

The dragon cypress's spiritual power unfolded and spread along the passage.

The treasure trove is inserted into the ground at an angle, the bottom end neatly and smoothly, and should be detached from the starship rather than torn and scattered.

It was initially figured out that it was a separate treasure trove room, about 15 meters long.

Long Bai had seen a lot of treasure troves of this specification in the wreckage of the half-cut starship that stretched across the divine power barrier, and he was quite familiar with it.

"King, what's next?"

Black for instructions. Bursting.

Long Bai pondered and explained: "The starship treasury has a door...... It should be on the left, or right, and see what the door is like first. ”

“???” Heiti shook her antennae and let out a long list of questions, not understanding which side the 'left' and 'right' were.

Long Bai buried his head, activated the ability of the water system, manipulated a cloud of water to levitate, transformed into the shape of a cuboid, pointed with his tentacles, and said:

"The treasury is about 15 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 4 meters high. Usually, this type of large treasure house, on this side with a length of 15 meters and a height of 4 meters, or on this side, in the center position, there will be two doors that slide left and right to open and close. ”

"The door is stronger than the wall, and if it's closed, it won't open. But there is a small chance that the door to the treasure house is open......"

"Got it!"

Heiti looked left and right, ran quickly to the side, and said, "King, dig down from here, right?" ”

"That's right! You feel free. Seeing that Heiti's fighting spirit was high, Long Bai was full of anticipation, and added:

"The probability that the door to the treasure house is open is very small, so don't hope too much. There is a high probability that this treasure house is intact and airtight, and there are only a few small holes for us to operate, and a slightly larger treasure cannot be taken out. ”

“…… Got it. Heiti immediately commanded the worker ants to excavate.

Long Bai buried his head, facing the hole, and continued to activate the water system ability, controlling the condensation into water balls, and passing on the specialized blue soldiers to drain the water outward.

"King!"

Heiti, who was directing the digging, suddenly jumped up, "King, door...... The door is gone? ”

Well?

Long Bai threw away the water balloon that he was controlling, and his mental power unfolded and swept away.

The newly dug tunnel, more than four meters down, is a torn section of the roll. The wall on this side of the vault seemed to have been torn apart.

When the spiritual power probed into the depths, it was all mud and sand.

Long Bai ran forward and personally drilled into the tunnel, shoveling and digging with his jaw teeth, and at the same time scanning and probing with his mental power.

100% sure that the door to the treasury is on this side.

The door is gone!

Command the worker ants to dig and expand quickly.

Find out the situation quickly.

Not only was the door gone, but even the walls were torn apart, and the treasure house, which should have been sealed, left a huge gap on one side of the gate that led to the bottom, and the inside of the treasure house was filled with mud and sand.

Long Bai was terrible.

Doesn't this mean that all the treasures inside are scattered?
