Chapter 174: Rich Soil Gives Birth to Gold, Chopping Wood Ding Ding

"Axe handle?"

Shen Bijun also paused for a moment, but when she looked around the stone tablet, all she saw was weeds. Where would there be an axe?

"Perhaps the axe is hidden somewhere?" Thinking of this, Fu Ning suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out the white turtle from his pocket.

The white turtle's limbs were tucked inside its shell, very quiet.

Fu Ning observed it repeatedly and found that besides a few markings on its back, there was indeed no other information.

Just as he was lost in thought, the white turtle seemed to sense something and woke up from its slumber.

Wu wu~

The white turtle stuck its head out and rubbed against Fu Ning's hand, its eyes showing no fear, but instead a hint of intelligence.

Seeing this, Fu Ning instantly guessed its purpose and took out a water pouch from his waist, pouring it onto the white turtle.

The white turtle loved water and happily danced around.

However, soon its movements suddenly froze, as if someone had pressed an acupoint.

It widened its pair of green bean eyes and stared fixedly in one direction.

Fu Ning couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw this, so he followed its gaze and in the next moment, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "The stone tablet?"

The direction the white turtle was looking at was exactly the stone tablet!

"Could it be that the white turtle is the key to unlocking the secret of the stone tablet?"

Fu Ning had a thought and quickly placed the white turtle next to the stone tablet.

Sure enough, as soon as the white turtle touched the ground, it woke up again. It nudged its head and then circled around the stone tablet.

Before long, it stopped two steps in front of the stone tablet.

"Wu wu~"

Looking at the white turtle shaking its head and swaying, Fu Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "What does this mean? Are you going on strike?"

As he spoke, he picked up the white turtle and placed it on top of the stone tablet.

"Little guy, don't rush back yet, take another good look."

Before he finished speaking, a crisp sound suddenly came from his ear.

He saw the little white turtle unexpectedly falling from the top of the stone tablet.

Seeing this, Fu Ning quickly went forward to check, luckily the stone tablet wasn't high, and the white turtle had a hard shell protecting its body, so it didn't get hurt when it fell to the ground.

But what surprised Fu Ning was that after the white turtle landed, it struggled in his palm and then eagerly crawled back to the spot where it had just stayed.

And this time, even Fu Ning sensed that something was wrong. "Huh? There's something wrong with this spot?"

Just as he was full of doubts, the white turtle started shaking its own shell, its movements looking very funny, as if it had been electrocuted.

But in the next moment, there was a sudden fluctuation of Origin Qi on its shell.

"Huh?" Fu Ning couldn't help but be stunned. Did it really trigger something?

Soon, the white turtle stopped trembling, and at the same time, the Origin Qi fluctuation on its body disappeared without a trace.

And when Fu Ning got closer, he discovered that on its back shell, the cloud patterns formed three characters: "Rich Soil Gives Birth to Gold."

"Rich Soil Gives Birth to Gold?"

At this moment, Shen Bijun also happened to see these three characters. It was her first time seeing the communication between the white turtle and humans. After murmuring silently a few times, she suddenly said, "Rich Soil Gives Birth to Gold, does it mean that it wants us to dig the soil?"

"Dig the soil?"

Fu Ning was stunned at her words, and his gaze happened to fall on the spot where the white turtle had stayed.

"Sister! You're truly a genius!"

The white turtle had just circled around the stone tablet several times, clearly searching for something.

And it ultimately stopped one step in front of the stone tablet. Even if Fu Ning placed it on the stone tablet, it still resolutely returned to this spot.

And this meant that there was something important underground that the white turtle felt.

Fu Ning's thoughts quickly turned, and the more he thought, the brighter his eyes became.

When he first came up the mountain, he had bought a set of herbal tools in the Red Mountain Village, which happened to be useful at this moment.

Without hesitation, he took out the hoe and started digging.

After seeing Fu Ning take action, Bai Gui indeed quieted down.

Swish swish swish~

Fu Ning swung his hoe extremely fast.

In no time, he dug a hole three feet deep in the ground.

And at this moment, there was a sudden "clang" sound from the soil.

Fu Ning was taken aback, "There really is something!"

Shen Bijun, upon hearing this, hurriedly approached from the side and stood beside him to look inside.

Only to see the previously intact medicine hoe, with just one strike, had been broken into two pieces.

"What a sharp blade!"

When Shen Bijun saw the notch on the medicine hoe, she couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, she became even more curious about the "naturally occurring gold" on Bai Gui's back.

On the other side, after Fu Ning heard the metallic sound while digging, he also felt delighted, and his movements became much faster as a result.

But in the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a rusty axe appeared in front of the two.

The axe was stuck in the ground, and its appearance was surprisingly identical to the totem behind the stone tablet!

"It really is that axe!"

Fu Ning's face lit up, then he bent down and exerted force to lift it.

"Hmm?"

He possessed the strength of five bulls, but he didn't expect that with ninety percent of his strength just now, he could only barely lift the axe out of the ground.

"What a heavy axe!"

A thud!

The ground trembled.

The axe was completely exposed in front of the two.

It had the shape of a mountain-opening axe, standing at over half a person's height, exactly the same as the axe in the totem!

Seeing this, Shen Bijun quickly tried it. She was originally confident in her own strength, but she didn't expect that even when she exerted all her strength, she could only make the axe sway slightly.

"So heavy!"

Shen Bijun frowned. Just lifting it was so heavy, let alone swinging the axe?

It really was as the stone tablet said, "If the sprout is not felled, the axe handle will break."

Fu Ning also had doubts, but he didn't immediately give up. Instead, he focused his gaze on the totem.

Bai Gui was not known for his strength, so it was highly likely that he wouldn't use strength as a test.

Thinking of this, Fu Ning began to carefully observe the details of the totem.

In the picture, there was a man swinging an axe, cutting down a giant tree in front of him.

At first glance, there was nothing special about it, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the man swinging the axe had a very peculiar movement.

He held the axe handle with one hand in front and one hand behind, seemingly exerting his full strength.

But his feet were neither too close nor too far apart, appearing relaxed and leisurely.

Seeing this, Fu Ning suddenly had a thought, "Could it be that only by maintaining a specific posture can one swing this axe?"

With this in mind, he began to imitate the posture in the totem, holding the axe handle with both hands, slightly off-center, and spreading his feet apart. However, with just a little force, his whole body seemed to lose balance.

And just as Fu Ning thought he was about to fall, his hands suddenly moved.

The originally extremely heavy axe suddenly became as light as a feather.

In an instant, it swung forward.

Swish~

The blade left a sharp edge in the air.

It happened to scrape against the nearby giant tree.

Boom!

With just one strike, the branches and leaves of the entire tree shook.

And when the axe fell, Fu Ning was shocked to find a deep axe mark on the tree.
