Chapter 2241 A Wise Move

This kind of behavior of acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful in order to save pocket money is quite unique when it appears on Kailan. After all, what this woman is really good at is confusing men's eyes with her mature and charming charm.

I raised my palms to stop Kailan's fake crying, squatted down, and used the front end of the half-folded shovel to forcefully poke the spot where Kailan had just lowered the shovel.

There was a muffled sound, and the surface of the spade touched something hard.

This is not the sound of shoveling stones. There should be metal within a few inches beneath the soil!

Handing the other half of the shovel to Kailan, I waved the shovel in my hand and shoveled the soil while ordering: "Dig!"

Kailan still looked at me pitifully: "Pocket money"

"As long as you dig well, your pocket money will not be cut off," I promised.

Kailan was overjoyed, and no longer pretended to be elegant or pretended to be weak. He swung the shovel and dug harder than me. But the soil he lifted was very erratic, and it was like flying all over the sky. The surrounding Destroyers were attacked one after another, and even I was not spared.

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of sand and wiping my face, I glared at Kailan angrily. Unexpectedly, this woman was addicted to digging and kept digging without even raising her head.

More than twenty minutes later.

Kailan slumped facelessly on the raised mound, holding half a folding shovel in his right hand and a water bag in his left hand, squirting fiercely into his mouth.

The sweet clear water flowed from the corner of her mouth and into the skirt of her clothes, but she didn't care at all and just kept drinking it.

After drinking half the bag of water, Kailan finally felt relieved. He dropped his arm casually, and the water bag fell to the ground with a thud, splashing out a lot of water.

I shook my head, walked over, leaned over to pick up the water bag, wiped off the sand and soil around the mouth of the bag, took a sip, picked up the stopper from her hand, screwed it carefully, and then said: "Good luck! Girl, how can you behave with such a lack of image?"

"You still know that I'm a girl!" Kailan rolled his eyes at me: "How can you ask a girl to do such tiring work!"

"That's why you said that because you haven't met her before." Sitting cross-legged opposite her, I said solemnly: "Children from those farmers' families, regardless of gender, must learn to do farm work from an early age, raising chickens and pigs, plowing the fields, etc. Isn’t it done by their hard-working hands? It’s wrong to just dig the ground once and then complain and complain.”

"There's nothing wrong with that!" Kailan retorted: "Because they often do farm work, they are used to it, so naturally they won't feel the pain or tiredness. But I am different. I have never done this kind of thing since I was a child. I do it suddenly. Of course you will be exhausted once you do it! Besides, don’t you look at it, most of this ground was made by me alone!”

Looking at the dug pits on the ground, I really have nothing to blame Kailan for.

Although what I dug was prettier and cleaner than hers, Kailan, who was crazy about digging, dug the soil many times faster than me, but he looked a bit embarrassed, as if he had been chewed by a dog.

"Well, you're right, this trip has been really hard on you."

Adhering to the principle that good deeds should be praised, I smiled and praised her.

Hearing me praising her, Kailan's eyes lit up and she climbed up the pole and said, "Then can my pocket money be doubled?"

"Don't even think about it!" I retorted: "Your monthly pocket money is enough for the residents of a block to live for several years, and you want to double it? Do you want to go to heaven?"

"To heaven?" Kailan wiped the sweat from his temples, looked up at the sky, and curled his lips: "Unless there is a legendary flying tool, how can we go up there?"

Well, Zephyr Continent doesn’t have the idea of ​​‘wanting to fly into the sky and stand side by side with the sun’.

Just as I guessed, beneath a few inches of soil was a huge metal creation.

I don't know what it looked like originally, but the only thing I can be sure of is that it is big enough, very big. I even doubt that this island is its true body.

In order to more intuitively identify its identity, I increased the intensity of excavation, uncovered the unexcavated surface one by one, and piled all the mounds of soil at the foot of the mountain.

As the soil surface was thoroughly cleaned, the appearance of the metal creation was gradually revealed.

With some dim light, I recognized its true appearance - it was an oval-shaped fortress base. The four walls were made of unknown metal that reflected the silver-gray metallic light. This metal was harder than high-grade fine steel. But it is not as good as mithril, and both the demon sword and the otachi with murderous intent can cause damage to it.

"This is probably the research institute." Kailan stood at the foot of the oval fortress base, caressing the cold metal, and said thoughtfully: "Somehow, there is always a familiar feeling, as if he has met a long-lost friend."

"The feeling came to you a little too quickly," I teased her.

"What are you talking about?" Kailan rolled his eyes at me: "I'm serious, it really feels familiar."

Her words suddenly brought back my memories. Yes, sometimes, I can also find familiar feelings in some strange things.

"This is probably the fate of the previous life, or the resonance of the bloodline," Odachi said suddenly.

"Well said" I said silently in my heart: "It's like the first time I met Di Ruigi. Although I had never met him before, there was a strange sense of familiarity, as if we were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Normally, and Di Ruiji seems to be no stranger to me, this may be related to the fairy blood flowing in my body, but unfortunately, my blood has been sealed."

"It's been sealed, can't it just be unlocked?" Odachi said disapprovingly: "As long as the seal is unlocked, what should belong to you will still belong to you."

"That's right," I agreed.

Since Kailan is a member of the Celestial Clan, no matter whether she has technological talent or not, the blood flowing in her veins will force her to become familiar with the legacy left by her ancestors.

This is an emotion that comes from blood and cannot be let go.

"Can you find the entrance?" I asked.

Kellan shook his head.

"Since we already have a sense of familiarity, why don't we even know where the entrance is?" I said arrogantly because I was extremely bored.

Kailan rolled his eyes: "Is it necessary to know if you are familiar with it?"

I have nothing to say.

Looking at the darkening sky, it is definitely not suitable to search for the entrance in the dark, and we don't have much energy left, so we will give up today and put the task of finding the entrance to tomorrow.

So he took out the cloth and brackets from his luggage, quickly set up a tent, then lit a fire and cooked food.

Since the island is almost full of mechanical creatures, it is difficult to find a living creature, so fresh meat is not available, and you can only eat the dried meat you carry with you.

Kailan didn't have any objections to the dried meat jerky, but he kept complaining that I didn't bring any wine.

Faced with her complaint, I just smiled and thought to myself: I would like to, but do I dare to take it? Once you bring alcohol over, you will definitely drink it secretly and make mistakes.

When I think of this woman holding a wine bottle, her cheeks red, lying down on the spot without any care, and sleeping soundly, I feel lucky that I didn't bring wine with me.
