In Fox Fairy Nannan’s eyes, Zhang Chen is definitely suffering from delusions, he’s gone mad!
How could there be water in the Spiritual World?
And if there is water in the Spiritual World, why not just control it to flow out directly? Why are you thinking of digging the soil to get it out? Isn’t this madness?
This is not the thinking of a normal person!
Zhang Chen paused his excavation of the ruins, and a sense of self-doubt arose in his heart: "Strange, could it be that there’s something wrong with my mind? Since there’s a spring in the Spiritual World, why don’t I just control it to flow out, why bother to exert effort thinking about digging the soil?"
Zhang Chen patted his head, threw away the stick, and began to operate the Water Control Technique.
Unfortunately, Zhang Chen’s Water Control Technique failed, and he couldn’t control the water flow from the spring below.
"Why did it fail?" Zhang Chen showed a tinge of confusion in his eyes.
Logically, if I could sense the water flow, I should be able to control it. Why did it fail?
Zhang Chen looked at the skill interface, pondering if there was a loophole on the skill interface, and in the next moment, he saw the Golden Finger Interface flicker, and a new message was refreshed:
[Water of unknown level, beyond the control range. The current host can only control water not exceeding their Water Control Technique level, the target water flow contains a mysterious unknown force, beyond its control range.]
Seeing this, Zhang Chen’s eyes revealed a touch of astonishment: "I see!"
Seeing that he couldn’t control the underground water flow, not only did Zhang Chen not show any anger on his face, but he revealed a smile.
Although he felt a bit disappointed that he could only control water not exceeding the level of his Water Control Technique, seeing that the Spiritual World hidden below was indeed harboring a mysterious unknown water, his face suddenly bloomed with a smile. It’s good that he can’t control it, once he digs up the soil, his harvest will be greater.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and dig a pit." Zhang Chen snapped back to reality and said to Fox Fairy Nannan.
"You’re simply crazy! Don’t you have the Water Control Technique? If there really is a spring, you can just control the water to fly out, why bother to dig it manually?" Fox Fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen, feeling she was looking at a lunatic.
Zhang Chen snorted: "What do you know, just come and work, don’t ramble."
Fox Fairy Nannan couldn’t defy Zhang Chen, the situation was beyond her control, and she wanted to continue to practice in the mysterious Spiritual World in the future, so she had to follow Zhang Chen’s arrangements, and the two of them dug together.
But digging a thirty-meter tunnel is not an easy task, even with both working together, it could not be done in a short time.
Especially those rubble pieces on the ground, they had to be cleared little by little.
Fortunately, Zhang Chen could accurately sense the location of the spring, so he found a spot with only broken bricks and began his excavation.
Zhang Chen was holding a half piece of tile, constantly digging the soil. Fox Fairy Nannan also held a tile, digging the soil while complaining: "I mean, we don’t even have the tools, how long are we going to keep digging like this? With just this tile, trying to dig dozens of meters of soil, are you kidding me?"
After digging for a while, Fox Fairy Nannan looked at the pitiful amount of soil dug out, threw the tile piece onto the ground, and was immediately unwilling.
"You’re right, we don’t even have tools to dig the soil, if we keep digging like this, when will we finish?" Zhang Chen also stopped his actions.
"Of course not, we’re not beasts, we don’t have claws for digging soil, digging with our bare hands, it would take forever. By then, you’ll probably have died of old age!" Fox Fairy Nannan said angrily.
Hmm?
Zhang Chen glanced at the Fox Spirit, a thought flashed in his mind: "No claws? Not good at digging?"
He is a human, naturally not good at digging without claws, but the girl in front of him is a Fox Spirit!
Although the girl in front, dressed in white, looked more human than Zhang Chen, her true form was a Fox Spirit after all.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The Fox Spirit saw Zhang Chen staring at her, realizing something was off, she tightened her clothes: "Let me tell you, don’t have any naughty thoughts, even though this girl is as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal and fits all your human fantasies, I am a Fox Spirit and you are human, we have a species barrier."
Zhang Chen was speechless, feeling that Fox Spirit overthought it, who would want to do something to their own skill? Unless they were a pervert.
"Have you been dead for so long that you forgot what your true form is?" Zhang Chen reminded.
"My true form is a fox, we’re discussing digging soil, why did you mention this..." The Fox Spirit suddenly realized, her eyes fixated on Zhang Chen, filled with disbelief: "Zhang Chen, you can’t do this! You can’t call a fairy to turn into a fox to dig soil for you, that’s too unsightly."
The Fox Spirit’s voice trembled, she couldn’t imagine if this scene really happened, how shocking it would be.
"So? Are you still coming to the Spiritual World in the future?" Zhang Chen retorted.
Fox Fairy Nannan’s eyes fixated on Zhang Chen, and she deeply swallowed, really wanting to throw the soil in her hand at Zhang Chen’s face, and then point at Zhang Chen’s nose and fiercely curse: "If I don’t want to come, I don’t want to come! I don’t care about it! Later, if you beg me, I still won’t come! This desolate place, what’s so good about it?"
