We got it! The real location for the Well of the Souls! Now we just need to dig for it without attracting attention.

Rubble said that he could employ his family to help out and be able to get miles down throughout the night. Hopefully, no one will see us.

However, I couldn't help but notice that Rubble has a bit of reluctance in his manner lately. Almost like he's second guessing everything that he does. He claims that it's just his nerves about the Ark of the Covenant, but I think he's hiding something more than that.

I don't think by any means that Rubble is going into business for himself, but I find it weird how when I brought up the concern of whether or not anyone will see us, Rubble just shoos me away every time. Again, I don't think that Rubble has any aspirations to turn on me, but....he's starting to make me very nervous about all of this.

Zuma, I hope you are watching over me right now, cause I really need you right now, pal.

It was now very late into the night as Rocky, Rubble, and the crew continue their dig.

Gone with his disguise and now with his typical baseball cap and dogpack on, Rocky steps away to take a breather while the crew continues to dig. Singing a joyful song to pass the time a little.

While they do that, Rocky scans over excavation camp below them, surprised that no one from the camp had noticed and confronted them. Even though they were a bit far from the camp, they were still within eyesight for someone to easily look in the general direction and see what was going on.

It made Rocky nervous a little. Making him think that his sister was actually anticipating for him to get the ark just so she can swoop in and pull it right from his paws. In that case, he thought that maybe this wasn't a great idea. Maybe he should've waited until Scarlet and Harold gave up, tore down camp, and then come dig when they were gone. However, Rubble was strongly insistent that they carry out the excavation. Striking the mixed breed to be a little weird considering that Rubble himself has been nervous about digging the ark up.

It was a strange thought, but it only came to Rocky just now, after they'd spent nearly half the day digging, so there was no turning back now anyway, so Rocky will just have to go with whatever happens.

"Guys! Guys! I've hit stone! I've hit stone!" Charger lights up with a wide smile on his face.

The group converses around him as Rubble digs his shovel in, confirming with a scrape that Charger had just hit the stone floor.

"You sure did Charger! Come on everyone! Clear it off! Find the edges!" Rubble calls as he and the crew dig into the ground with their paws around Charger's found spot.

As they clear off the area, Rocky looks on with glee. Due to how long they took, he was sure they wouldn't find anything at all. At least on the same night, forcing them to somehow come back the next day, but only several hours in, they found the temple which gives the edge over his sister by a mile.

The crew dug furiously, their excitement overcoming them as they wonder what they will find.

"Motor dig! Dig! Di-Ow!" Motor yelps as her paw scrapes the surface of the stone. She shakes her paw and continues to dig around the spot.

"Oh boy! This is so amazing! We're going to get to that ark in no time!" Mix pipes off as she continues to dig.

"Yeah! And best of all, Harold and Miss Scarlet won't even get a chance to lay a paw on it!" Wheeler adds in.
