"Sis, are we going to dig for treasure?"

After they left, Chu Chen took out a puppet mouse and asked with some anticipation.

"We are outside the magic array. What treasure would there be to dig?"

Chu Xin rolled her eyes dramatically.

The bases of the array were all within the array itself; now that they were blocked from entering by the magic array barrier, it was naturally impossible to dig for array bases.

A small compass the size of a palm appeared in her little hand, its needle swinging back and forth incessantly.

"A magic array compass?"

Chu Chen glanced at it and felt dizzy and overwhelmed; he quickly looked away and grumbled, "I don't know why Dad refined this thing. It's not like I can understand it."

Chu Xin gave him a look and said, "Dummy little brother, it's just you who can't understand it. This is actually a great treasure, specially designed to find the weaknesses in an array. It's a bit troublesome, but the effects are quite good."

"Alright then."

Chu Chen let out a sigh like a little adult. Dad had said this magic array compass was really simple, but just looking at that constantly moving needle made his head spin. This treasure clearly wasn't for him; roasted meat was more his thing.

Chu Xin turned the compass in various directions, watching the magic array compass closely.

"Found it, it's right below us."

Chu Xin moved through the crowd to appear at the Stone Milk Cave entrance, pointing at the ground and saying, "Little brother, dig!"

"Okay!"

Though Chu Chen couldn't understand the magic array compass, he had absolute trust in his sister. He immediately took out a little treasure digging shovel and began to dig.

After stowing the magic array compass back into the Sumeru Ring, Chu Xin also pulled out her own treasure digging shovel and joined Chu Chen in the dig.

"Little pig, don't just lie there, start digging."

As she dug, she kicked at a double-headed piglet lying next to her.

Neigh!

The double-headed piglet let out a protesting dragon neigh.

I'm a pig, a noble dragon pig, not a dog. The idea of digging the earth for you is out of the question.

Chu Chen looked back at the double-headed piglet and said to Chu Xin, "Sis, it's been a long time since we roasted a pig's head. I'm getting itchy hands."

Chu Xin licked her lips, her face showing a craving, and nodded, "I'm also feeling a bit peckish. Roasted pig's head is really delicious, and one with dragon horns must be even tastier."

Neigh!

The double-headed piglet shrank its two dragon-horned heads, letting out an urgent dragon neigh. It then flipped over and began to dig frantically with its front paws.

While digging, it also raised its two heads to look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, sticking out its long pig tongue in an obsequious manner.

"That's more like it."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen both nodded their satisfaction and then returned their focus to the task of digging.

"What are those two brats up to?"

Qin Tian and his two companions hidden among the Heavenly Prides were completely astonished.

"Could this Dragon and Phoenix baby duo be thinking of getting into the Stone Milk Cave from underground in advance?"

The rest of the Heavenly Prides exchanged puzzled glances.

"Young Master, should we warn them?"

The teen with the square face asked in a low voice.

"I don't think we need to. Let them learn from their mistakes," uttered the boy holding the bow.

Everyone knew the array wasn't just the part revealed on the outside; it was spherical.

Whether it was the entrance to the Stone Milk Cave or anywhere underneath, above, or behind it, all were protected by the magic array barrier.

If someone could simply dig a hole to enter the Stone Milk Cave, the Heavenly Prides would have already done so and collected the Stone Milk.

Long Shaoyu rubbed his forehead. These two brats became the center of attention wherever they went, making it impossible for them to keep a low profile. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's leave them be."

"Yes, young master," the square-faced youth and the archer nodded, though their gazes remained fixed on Chu Xin and Chu Chen.

After all, with so many Heavenly Prides gathered here, most were seated cross-legged in cultivation or resting with closed eyes. Only these two rascals were brandishing small shovels and digging holes.

It's one thing to dig, but they're even singing, making it impossible not to attract attention.

"Ding!"

A Heavenly Pride, seeing the two rascals digging energetically, couldn't resist trying with his own sword, only to find that the ground of Divine Saber Valley was as hard as iron. Even a Sixth Rank Martial Venerate Level weapon had difficulty penetrating too deeply.

Turning back to the two rascals, with every swing their shovels seemed effortlessly light, as if digging into a block of tofu.

"Damn, those rascals' little shovels are treasures too!"

The other Heavenly Prides also witnessed this scene, revealing shocked expressions on their faces.

The two small shovels were of a higher grade than most of the Heavenly Prides' weapons and might even have reached the level of Holy Artifacts.

Two Holy Artifact-level... shovels? That's just absurd.

With such fine materials and such great Artifact Refining skills, why not craft better weapons instead of wasting time and effort, to say nothing of wasting these fine materials, on making two little shovels that are only good for digging?

Even Qin Tian and his group, including Long Shaoyu, had never seen the little shovels of the two rascals before and were deeply surprised.

These two rascals had more secrets about them than they had imagined.

"Right, that two-headed piglet seems quite extraordinary too. Its two paws can easily dig through this hard ground."

Some Heavenly Prides noticed the two-headed piglet, which was digging with its paws effortlessly, and were once again astonished.

In other words, the piglet's paws are comparable to Holy Artifacts?

This seemingly silly and cute two-headed piglet, could it possibly be a Seventh Rank Demon Beast?

This is just too preposterous.

And when guessing the strength of the two-headed piglet, Long Shaoyu and the others were even more astounded.

They had personally witnessed the strength of the two-headed piglet. It was only a Sixth Rank Peak Demon Beast, barely comparable to an Early Stage Seventh Rank Demon Beast inside the Fire Boar Cave.

But now, this two-headed piglet had become a true Seventh Rank Demon Beast.

Clearly, its rapid breakthrough had a lot to do with the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail of the Divine Dragon from the Divine Sword Pond.

With this realization, the three couldn't help but beat their chests and stamp their feet, filled with indignant rage.

Damn Artifact Spirit, how could it knock them out at such a critical moment, causing them to miss the opportunity with the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail? It was utterly detestable.

"Hold on, let me check!"

After digging for a while, Chu Xin took out the Magic Array Compass, glanced at it, then neatly tucked the compass away, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "It's not here yet, keep digging."

"Alright!"

Chu Chen, with a shovel in hand, and the two-headed piglet using its front paws, started to dig energetically again.

With the cooperation of the two siblings and the two-headed piglet, a deep tunnel quickly took shape.

Every so often, Chu Xin would stop to check the Magic Array Compass, and after doing this back and forth more than ten times, they finally reached their destination.

"This is the place."

Chu Xin stowed her shovel, reached out to lightly touch the ground, and felt an Energy Barrier. She whispered with a light laugh, "This is the weakest part of the entire Magic Array."

"Sister, what do we do now, attack directly?" Chu Chen asked eagerly.

Slap!

As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white hand slapped his head.

Chu Chen, holding his head with an aggrieved face, looked at Chu Xin: "Sister, why are you hitting me?"

"What a blockhead of a brother."

Chu Xin gave him a scornful glance and spoke with frustration, "I told you to read more, but you are always feeding pigs. This is an Ancient Magic Array, even at its weakest spot, it's not something the two of us can break through."

Chu Chen glanced at the two-headed piglet and muttered, "I haven't been feeding pigs either, I just like roasting them."

Whinny!

The two-headed piglet raised its head and looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen with a wary expression. Why drag me into this for no reason?
