Chapter 184 The Impatient Carter
After a night of contemplation, Shi Qian was now unsure whether he should tell them directly that he had found the energy core.
After all, there are still many doubts surrounding Fangxu Life.
Perhaps we should let them guide us first and see what they're up to before making any decisions.
after all...
They had previously stated that they had not found any trace of the shadowy sand pit.
I wonder how long Carter has been in office. If he sent someone over when he first took office, it must have been a long time ago.
If the Shadow Sand Pool began to awaken immediately after they left, then the density of this forest in the sandy soil system is quite reasonable.
The items in the Shadow Sand Pool are not ejected very quickly, and they seem to be released from a very small size.
What Shi Qian saw were mostly saplings or fallen fruit.
Based on the plant's growth rate in this dimension...
It must have taken quite a while to grow to this size.
The normal height of the tamarisk is about the same as that of the taller birch trees in the Overworld, and the leaves are all drooping downwards.
Wheat, a plant that's so easy to grow, takes more than ten days to mature at this latitude. Trees would probably take even longer, at least a month to grow to this size...
The closer to the energy core, the denser the vegetation.
The plant's condition is quite consistent with the current state of the region; it is drought-resistant, has fruit, and has thorns for defense.
Although so far only these two plants have been observed...
Fang Xu and his companions were all awake, and they lined up together in the formation they had agreed upon at the beginning.
Shi Qian always had Carter lead the way, after all, as an elder of Fangxu Life, he had a complete knowledge base, as well as records of the last exploration and various past dispatches.
He has his own path.
Previously, Shi Qian had roughly circled around this group.
The place they are in now is not actually on the straight line from the edge to the center point.
I don't know when it started to slowly veer off course.
Shi Qian noticed it, but he didn't ask. He wanted to see where Carter would take him.
If we find the Shadow Sand Pool directly...
That makes one wonder...
Throughout their journey, Carter maintained a very confident demeanor, his emotions running high, and his eagerness was palpable.
Although I wasn't quite sure what he was expecting before, I guess I'll get the answer soon.
Whether this answer is positive or not depends on the specific circumstances.
"let's go."
Carter walked at the front, his right hand touching Shi Qian's.
In his left hand was the blue orb of light that Shi Qian had seen many times before; he was leading the way while looking at the information.
I wonder how big their database is...
A vast amount of information was recorded by the beings of Fangxu, who seemed to know everything about this dimension.
Although Shi Qian said he wouldn't draw a direct conclusion, he was now seeing their every move and relating it to his own conjecture...
They kept walking until they suddenly stopped under a tree.
"What's wrong with Carter? Is there a problem?"
He didn't show it on his face, but Shi Qian had already confirmed some things in his heart.
The reason is simple: this is the place he arrived at last night.
He was underground at the time...
And underground here lies the Shadow Sand Pool with its dim light.
Coincidence?
Shi Qian disagrees.
This pool should have never changed. Where could a pool of water go?
It's just buried in sand...
"The team I sent out was searching in this area. Although they didn't find the Shadow Sand Pool directly, the search area should be around here."
Carter turned around and faced Shi Qian; the two looked at each other.
There weren't any scenes that would make you feel like you were shipping a romantic couple.
The two seemed to be communicating with their eyes.
After a long while, Shi Qian chuckled softly.
"Alright, let's start digging here. The Shadow Sand Pool has existed for so long, even if it's here, it should be underground."
Although he was asking a question, Shi Qian's tone was quite certain.
Carter didn't speak, but nodded slightly, and then told the others to get to work.
Watching them dig sand and soil with shovels while also surrounding themselves, Shi Qian sighed silently.
The preparations were a bit too comprehensive, which is unreasonable.
He now seemed to have a rough idea of the motive, but it was still somewhat outrageous, and he wasn't sure.
Now, however, they can be certain that they know the location of the Shadow Sand Pool.
The old man isn't telling the truth...
I reckon there's not much real food in its mouth.
Knowing the location of the Shadow Sand Pool, and that dimensional native creatures can directly enter the Sand Biome, why not just bring everyone over and re-establish faith in the Shadow Sand Pool?
After all, survival was a pressing issue, and their desert temple had long been buried by the yellow sand, so changing their faith wouldn't be a difficult thing.
Judging from the state of other beings in this dimension, they probably stopped believing in the existence of gods a long time ago. Most likely, it was when they needed to convert energy that no one believed in "gods" anymore.
Why don't they just bring them to the Shadow Sand Pool now and give them faith directly, so that the Shadow Sand Pool can release resources after it recovers?
Moreover, the news of the Shadow Sand Pool seems to be kept secret, and the other two races do not believe that the Shadow Sand Pool still exists.
Only they still believe...
Shi Qian glanced at Carter, who was digging the dirt the hardest, then looked around and smiled.
Shadow Sandpit...
It was this elder who found it.
They truly believed it, but didn't want others to believe it too.
why?
Maybe it's because they've unlocked the tech tree...
The other two races are able to continue and survive only because of the Fangxu Life System.
However, I don't know what role I play in this whole system.
And what I would be doing in their plans.
them...
Do you really know how to use the energy core?
If they had known, would they still have chosen to come here...?
"Here we are!"
Shi Qian was still thinking when he was interrupted by Carter's voice.
However, he forgot to pretend when he said that.
"Are you here? Where are you?"
Carter's body stiffened slightly as he understood the meaning behind Shi Qian's words.
"Well, I mean, it seems we've found the Shadow Sand Pool. There's a hollow here with water underneath."
Carter turned slightly to the side so that Shi Qian could see the state of the cave.
The water in the Shadow Sand Pool is contained within stones, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding sand and soil.
The other creatures in the enclosure craned their necks to look inside curiously; they had only heard of it before, and this was the first time they had ever seen it.
