Three days later, when Xue Li returned with the newly refined drill bit magical item, the vigorous ground drilling campaign began.
After careful weighing, Feng Shao set the location of the drill hole on the opposite side of the river, about twenty miles away from the camp. The reason why he chose this place is, firstly, because it is inaccessible and will not affect the normal life of ordinary people; secondly, if an accident occurs, there will be enough time to evacuate the people in the camp at such a long distance.
Another reason is that the land here is fertile and suitable for farming. Feng Shao intends to arrange spiritual fields nearby, plant various spiritual herbs, and breed various spirit beasts.
After Feng Shao bound the drill bit to the magical item, he flew in the air and began to manipulate the magical item to drill into the ground. On the ground, there were many people scattered here and there. They stood a hundred meters away, watching Feng Shao’s actions with curiosity.
As cultivators, some particular minerals are in great demand, so they are no strangers to mining. It’s just that this is the first time they have seen this mining method.
Under Feng Shao’s control, the drill bit magical item suspended in the air began to spin rapidly.
Before it got close to the ground, countless gravels were blown away by the wind and waves brought by the drill.
Everyone looked from a distance and found the drill bit that they thought was ugly before, now gave them a sense of ferocity.
They had no doubts that if they accidentally got caught in the serrations of the drill bit, they would be crushed to pieces.
Many people even began to wonder secretly whether they should send an order and ask Xue Li for such a magical item. After all, it seems to be quite powerful.Moments later, the drill bit finally touched the ground.
With an ear-piercing noise, countless pieces of gravel and soil splashed out driven by the sawtooth, and the ground trembled accordingly.
In the beginning, the tremors on the ground were not obvious, but as the drill bit gradually deepened, the quakes became more intense, and everyone gradually felt like they were in an earthquake.
“Brother Shao is great! Come on, brother Shao!” From a distance, Lin Xiaoran cheered for Feng Shao happily, with an excited look on his face.
Feng Shao heard her, and he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Don’t look at him looking so awesome and powerful on the surface, only he knows how difficult it is to manipulate this magical item.
Probably because it was forged too hastily, the drill always gave him a feeling that he was about to lose control.
If he hadn’t tried his best to stabilize the drill, the drill would have flown out long ago.
However, the fact that it was difficult to control was a trivial matter.
The bigger trouble was that during the process of drilling the ground, the vibration and reaction force from the magical item cutting through the earth were also transmitted to his body.
The current Feng Shao feels like being beaten with countless small hammers at a very high frequency.
He immediately realized that if he manipulated the magical item for too long, internal injuries would be unavoidable.
It seems that they still have a lot of room for improvement.
Feng Shao continued while thinking.
In the beginning, everyone watched with relish.
But it didn’t take long for them to feel bored, and they returned to the camp to continue working on their own tasks.
Only Lin Xiaoran and Xue Li were still guarding Feng Shao.
Xue Li wanted to observe closely to see if there were any defects in the drill magical item.
As for Lin Xiaoran, she simply wanted to stay wherever Feng Shao was.
This drilling lasted all day.
As the drill gets deeper into the ground, it becomes easier to manipulate the drill.
After Feng Shao mastered the trick, the efficiency of the ground drilling also increased significantly.
At the start, he could only drill one or two meters deep in an hour.
In the end, it only took him four hours to drill to a depth of more than twenty meters.
Although the spirit stones on the drill can be replaced, the mental energy consumed by Feng Shao cannot be replenished for a short time.
Feng Shao was originally able to stay in mid-air and observe the drilling while manipulating the magical item but in the end, he could only return to the ground to reduce the loss of his mental energy as much as possible.
A day’s hard work resulted in a nearly thirty-meter-deep hole and a pale-faced Feng Shao. After taking back the magical item, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and he fell forward involuntarily.
Lin Xiaoran exclaimed and quickly ran forward to support him. She asked worriedly, “Brother Shao, what’s wrong with you? Are you all right?”
Feng Shao shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice, “It’s okay, it’s just that I don’t have enough energy for a while, just wait for me to take it easy.”
Xue Li walked up to the drill bit magical item and checked it carefully.
After observing for a while, Xue Li murmured, “It seems this kind of sawtooth arrangement is a bit heavy on the user. Maybe we need to add some sawtooth layers and modify the arrangement of sawtooth…”
While thinking about it, Xue Li drew blueprints on the ground, and raised his head from time to time to ask Feng Shao some problems that occurred during use.
Feng Shao told Xue Li about his own sensations in detail and put forward some of his ideas and suggestions.
During the discussion between the two, Xue Li drew the prototype of the new drill magical item.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao Ran couldn’t help but angrily reprimand, “Brother Shao, don’t you see what you’ve become now? Can’t you rest first and discuss these things later?”
Feng Shao said apologetically, “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Lin Xiaoran sighed, pursed his lips, and said with feigned resignation, “I’m afraid there are still many things to worry about in the future!”
Looking at the two’s interaction, Xue Li said with a smile at this time, “I have almost understood the problem, so I will go back and work on it, and I will make you an improved and more useful drill in a few days. I will leave now, and I will not delay your young couple’s love and affection!”
Without waiting for Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran to reply, he flew towards the direction of Yunjian Pavilion.
Lin Xiaoran stomped her feet in the direction Xue Li left and said angrily, “This Uncle Xue doesn’t act like an elder at all!”
Seeing Lin Xiaoran’s cute look, Feng Shao couldn’t help it anymore, and he laughed out loud.
