Chapter 5: No Time to Lose
The tunnel at the end of the mine shaft had already been excavated into a "T" shape, a result of unearthing the midsection of a skeleton and then digging outwards along the length of its prone form. The tail end of the skeleton had been fully excavated, and the current state of digging was focused on unearthing the head.
Judging by the size and scale of the skeleton, and at the current excavation speed, it was estimated that it would take another half a day.
At this moment, the digging had paused.
