"If you really dig up any dirt, I'll eat it!" Master Soidho declared confidently, having faith in himself.
"Playing this big?" Lachlan shook his head speechlessly.
The excavator came over and started working where Lachlan pointed.
Lachlan stood by quietly watching.
Sam was a bit nervous, staring without blinking.
Darwin and Master Soidho were both unimpressed, standing with their arms crossed and sneering on the side.
After a short while, they had already dug down four or five meters deep. However, apart from some rubble, they hadn't seen anything else yet.
"I'm laughing so hard! Where is the thing you mentioned? You didn't even bother to ask around about my reputation in the geomancy world before daring to question me?"
"Kid, compensate me. I won't ask for much. Just give me 100, 000 dollars!"
Master Soidho said proudly upon seeing this situation.
"Mr. Willis if you can't come up with the money then apologize to Master Soidho. Let's talk it out and forget about this matter! But don't go back asking Ms. Lowe for money. That wouldn't be good." Darwin taunted him.
"Mr. Mclaughlin are we still digging?"
At that moment one of his workers stuck his head out of the excavator and asked him.
"Keep digging!" Lachlan said calmly ignoring Master Soidho and Darwin.
Sam also added, "Dig as per what Mr. Willis says."
Darwin impatiently waved his hand, "Fine then! Dig away! Mr. Reid has spoken!"
The next second, he looked at Lachlan very displeased muttering under his breath, "What kind of nonsense is this? If it wasn't for Mr. Reid's face, I wouldn't even bother with you. You're really asking for trouble!"
Master Soidho also snorted coldly, "I want to see what can be dug up!"
Suddenly there was a loud thud as though something had been hit by the excavator!
"It seems like we've actually found something!" exclaimed the operator of the excavator in surprise.
Upon hearing this news, Darwin's expression froze momentarily before he turned towards several workers beside him ordering them, "You guys go down there and take a look!"
"There doesn't seem to be any negative energy here. Perhaps it's just some ordinary metal object," remarked Master Soidho skeptically.
A few minutes later, several workers emerged from below, carrying a box in their hands which made everyone curious about its contents.
After they opened the box, a butcher's knife was revealed, emitting an ominous aura that seemed to hit them in the face.
"This... this..." Master Soidho's face changed dramatically upon seeing the knife.
"Master, what is this?" Darwin was also taken aback.
"This is a geomancy killing formation set up by someone. This evil object buried underground will definitely cause frequent accidents here in the future! It wouldn't be surprising if it causes fatalities!" Master Soidho said with a serious expression.
"What should we do? How do we break it?" Darwin asked nervously.
"It's fortunate that this young apprentice discovered it! Expose this knife to sunlight for seven days and its malevolent energy will dissipate!" Master Soidho said as he looked towards Lachlan with an expression of surprise and suspicion.
Despite his youth, Lachlan had surpassed him in "Energy observation". The knife was stored in a willow wood box which concealed its malevolent energy. Even he hadn't noticed it but this young man had seen through it all.
