Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 241: Keep Digging in the Secret Realm (1)

She also bought a chainsaw and other woodworking tools, selecting straight, evenly thick trunks to cut down, trimmed clean of branches, split down the middle, and hollowed out the core to make feed troughs.

This was truly a physically demanding task.

She used everything, saws, axes, chisels, adzes, and red-hot iron blocks. After two days of work, she finally hollowed out the tree core, resulting in two rough, spike-filled feed troughs, which she then smoothed out with a grinder, placing them on the opposite bank of the river on her ten-acre farm, filled them with salt blocks, and left them be.

When a week had passed, Ye Nai contacted the manufacturer and picked up the newly made electric awnings.

She took a local official’s long-term hunting task from the task center, which required her to deliver game worth one hundred thousand per job for completion, not limited by time, not difficult, just two semi-adult Big Wild Boars with good appearance would be enough, allowing her to repeat the process once the task was delivered.

Ye Nai wanted to maintain her perfect success rate and reputation score, so she found official hunting orders more reliable. Working for private individuals, who knows what unexpected problems might arise.

Besides, taking an order to enter the Secret Realm was her smoke screen, and she most valued the condition of unlimited time.

Before leaving, she extended her room reservation for another month.

She had extended it for a month when she returned previously, and before leaving, she did it again, just in case she ended up staying in the Secret Realm for too long and had nowhere to live afterward.

Ye Nai entered the Secret Realm in the early morning, and given the time difference, it was about to get dark inside too. As soon as she entered the realm, she headed straight for the wilderness, disappearing into the vast landscape.

Her primary goal was of course to excavate the altar.

In the developed cities’ Secret Realms, she didn’t know how many of the enemies’ leftover altars remained with the grand development of the Secret Realm; finding even one was valuable, and if incomplete, they could still serve as negotiating chips in the future.

Guided by the Space Fungus in her space, she could dig one to two altars daily; after about a week, having accumulated around ten altars, Ye Nai found herself increasingly venturing into the mountains.

She began digging on the mountain slopes first.

The mountain forests were beautiful, with sky-piercing ancient trees and luxuriant vegetation, the footing unseen, and there was no place to place the digger; luckily, buying the chainsaw wasn’t in vain, so she started by cutting trees.

She brought the tree trunks into her space, released the Land Clearing Machine to smash the dense shrubs and tree roots, clearing the ground.

Finally, there was room to bring out the digger.

Using the same method, after digging up three altars, she arrived at the location of the fourth one. As she took out her chainsaw to begin work, she suddenly heard strange noises coming from beneath the ground.

As she wondered, the ground suddenly caved in, revealing a large hole; the surrounding big trees also started to lean and fall noisily, two of them crashing right into the big hole.

Ye Nai, frightened, quickly fled, jumping three meters at a stride, and took a safe distance using a telescope to observe.

Initially, she was lying in a pile of wild grass, but as she watched, she suddenly propped herself up.

"Hmm?"

From the pit, one after another, an enemy climbed out having skin of earthy yellow, tall stature, an intelligent look, adorned with weapons of various nations.

"Damn! Good thing I arrived just in time!"

Without a second thought, a large amount of spores was thrown out. The enemies who had just crawled out of the pit and hadn’t had the chance to turn around to aid their comrades below, were invaded by the spores, closed their eyes, and plummeted down.

The spores spread downward, wiping out all the enemies inside the pit and collecting them into her space.

The number of enemies this time was the same as the ones she had seen in the East Ridge Secret Realm, twenty people. Aside from the melee weapons that looked sharp, the firearms, especially the machine guns, seemed poorly maintained, as if they could explode at any moment.

"Tsk, they’ve occupied this place for fifty years and still haven’t developed the technology for firearms. The technological level of the Otherworldly people is really lacking."

"So what if their superpower is formidable, even if they could fight hundreds alone, once they are out of physical and spiritual power, aren’t they just like a broken gun without ammunition?"

"Last time those twenty people had shoddy weapons, I thought they were just cannon fodder."

"Now it seems, are the Otherworldly enemies unable to break through the border defenses, and they thought of the altar in the Secret Realm, wanting to sneak into the village and start a war from the heart of the city?"

"Did the disappearance of the East Ridge Secret Realm not alert them?"

"This won’t do, I don’t know if other Secret Realms have spotted enemies appearing, I need to remind them this time."

Ye Nai timely controlled the Space Fungus in the area not to consume the enemies, leaving them intact, waiting until she finished excavating the altar to deal with them.

She ran back to the edge of the large pit, jumped straight in, took out the excavation machine to clean the dirt, excavated the altar, and then returned to the surface to refill the pit.

In the following days, Ye Nai seized every moment to dig up altars, sleeping only four hours a night.

After digging more than ten altars on the hillside, the Space Fungus began leading Ye Nai nonstop through the mountain caves.

Since entering the first cave, Ye Nai had never seen daylight again.

The altars in the mountain caves were better off; there was a rock layer below, limiting the soil depth to about three meters, and without the natural influence of wind and rain, the soil was much looser.

More importantly, given the large size of the Otherworldly enemies, the caves they found were also spacious, suitable for the operation of the excavation machine.

Correspondingly, such spacious large caves were, of course, the dens of many mutant beasts.

They became ready-made prey delivered to her doorstep.

Thanks to the gifts of nature.

Ye Nai’s efficiency greatly increased, happily excavating, and as the number of altars dug increased, the heart discomfort each triggered gradually decreased to an ignorable level.

Not knowing how many caves she had drilled through, she felt numb from fatigue, and couldn’t count how many altars she had dug in total, but as long as there were no anomalies in the Space, it meant she hadn’t dug enough yet.

And she came across an enemy squad in a cave again.

At that time, they had already been heading out of the cave, and the mutant beasts hibernating in the cave had been slaughtered, the place reeking with an unbearable stench of blood.

The moment Ye Nai landed, she faced them, quickly assessed the situation, took immediate action, took them all into the Space, continued by dropping a large amount of spores to clean the cave, turning the blood and dead mutant beasts on the ground into food for the spores and fungus.

Finally, excavated the altar and left.

For the following days, she continued digging altars in a numb, exhausted state, digging one after another, and after digging up yet another new altar, the Space Fungus led Ye Nai to a new battlefield.

Upon landing, she noticed the air was murky, but there was no stench of mutant beasts.

Ye Nai listened attentively, hearing no sounds of mutant beasts either.

Continuing her observation, she wore a headlamp for work, which cast its light around, revealing the fluorescent glow of minerals on the cave walls.

By then, Ye Nai found breathing increasingly difficult, took out a medical oxygen bottle for oxygen, suspecting that this was an airless dead cave.

Thinking of the dead cave, Ye Nai felt braver, muttered that she definitely needed to buy a large streetlamp after getting out, and took out a rechargeable desk lamp.

The desk lamp, casting a wide light, made her eyes widen as she scanned the area.

This turned out to be an abandoned mine shaft.
