"Don't worry yet!"
In the darkness, Yang Ji's voice came from behind, carrying a calming power.
"That is indeed iron ore. But it does not necessarily mean it is an iron ore vein."
"ah?"
The two people's bodies were shaken, and they both turned around to look at Yang Ji behind them, and said with hope:
"Junior brother, what do you mean, we can still go out?"
"I'm not sure either."
Yang Ji crawled in the rugged tunnel behind Lin Qingyan, and the contents of the scriptures given to him by the former "historian" emerged in his mind:
"There are many types of iron ore. It may be an iron ore vein, it may be iron ore sand, or it may be just a few pieces of iron ore. All of this is uncertain."
Yang Ji did not go into details. He was no less nervous than Lin Qingyan and the others. There is a half chance of iron ore found underground like this being "iron ore veins". The area of ​​iron ore veins is very large.
For example, in front of this kind of mineral vein, Yang Ji and the others are as insignificant as a particle of dust.
To open up this kind of iron ore vein, the difficulty is more than a hundred times that of rocks. Basically, no one can succeed until the air in the cave is exhausted.
Once this happens, death is basically certain.
"Yang Ji, are you saying that the thing in front of us might also be iron ore?"
Lin Qingyan said with a hint of hope.
"I didn't say that. We won't know until we try it."
Yang Jidao.
As soon as the voice fell, the three people fell silent.
The road in front of everyone is already obvious. If it is just a piece of iron ore and the three of them forcefully break through it, it will only delay a little time at most and have no impact on the entire excavation plan.
If it were an iron ore vein, no matter how hard everyone tried, they would not be able to dig through it. This would be a death sentence for everyone.
"Senior Brother Lu, use my sword!"
In the darkness, Yang Ji handed over his "Guquan Sword".
Lu Wu did not refuse. He reached out and took it. Yang Ji's sword was produced in a "famous sword-making place" and was even sharper than his sword.
There was silence all around. All three people heard their own nervous heartbeats.
"Senior Brother Lu, let's do it."
After a while, Lin Qingyan and Yang Ji finally said.
Lu Wu remained silent, took a deep breath for a long time, and finally released the long sword in his hand.
"boom!"
In the darkness, it was as if a wild dragon roared, and the brightness of the moment illuminated the entire cave. Yang Ji and Lin Qingyan were crawling behind, with a bright light clearly reflected on the dark pupils. They violently hit the front of the cave.
Boom!
The ground shook, and the huge shaking even reached the stone hall through the rock mass.
There were exclamations in the hall. Pan Chen, Zhao Hua, Tian Junwen, and Xu Ziyi were shocked, and they all looked above their heads.
In the darkness, infinite sparks burst out from where the Guquan sword struck, turning into a brilliant rain of fire. The result of this sword was far from as good as expected.
However, Lu Wu not only did not give up, but pushed his skills to the top.
His fingers were holding the hilt of the sword, and his palms were so nervous that they were sweating.
He had never been so nervous during this trip, even when facing the Balrog. This was not only about himself, but also about the fate of dozens of people in this cave.
"Crack it, split it... split it for me quickly!"
Lu Wu pushed the Guquan Sword deeply.
Yang Ji stared at Lu Wu's back. He was extremely nervous. Whether it was iron ore or an iron ore vein, Yang Ji was not sure.
The so-called encounter with iron ore was just a way for Yang Ji to comfort Lu Wu, Lin Qingyan and the others. Yang Ji knew in his heart that the chance of encountering a single piece of iron ore was too low.
More likely, a huge iron ore vein lay across their heads, blocking all their paths like an iron lid.
In the darkness and silence, there was only the roar of the rock formations.
Never before had Yang Ji felt that time was so long.
"boom!"
Yang Ji suddenly took a deep breath and placed a palm on Lin Qingyan's body. A soft and smooth feeling came from under his palm, but Yang Ji was not distracted from thinking about it.
The next moment, the blood furnace roared, and a huge amount of energy poured into Lin Qingyan's body from Yang Ji's body.
Suddenly, she was pressed down by Yang Ji's palm. Lin Qingyan's whole body froze at first. Although she understood, she took a deep breath, and the blood furnace in her dantian also shook, and a majestic blood energy, together with Yang Ji's, blasted into Lu Wu's body.
Lu Wu received the support of the two people's blood energy, and his energy suddenly became high. With a low drink, all the blood energy in his body was blasted into the "Guquan Sword".
"Boom!"
Guquan Sword received all the health of the three people, and its momentum suddenly increased. A circle of sword light that was ten times more dazzling than the sun suddenly burst out.
"Crack!"
It was like the sound of the earth cracking. Before Yang Ji and the others could react, they felt something loose in front of them, and the Guquan Sword seemed to have penetrated something.
Yang Ji was overjoyed and shouted quickly:
"Senior Brother Lu, quickly move the rocks on both sides away!"
A powerful force burst out from the sword, and Lu Wu shook it hard to the left and right, forcefully shaking the two cracked iron ore stones apart.
"Boom!"
Without the obstruction of the iron ore, Lu Wu and his men and swords rushed into it together, and the Guquan sword penetrated even deeper.
It seemed like a flash of lightning, and it seemed like countless centuries had passed——
Suddenly, Lu Wu's relaxed and joyful laughter came from the front:
"Hahaha..., junior brother, you are right, you are right! It's really iron ore, it's really iron ore! My sword penetrated it."
"real?!"
Yang Ji and Lin Qingyan were surprised and happy.
"Yes, it's really iron ore. Junior Brother Yang, Junior Sister Lin, we have hope."
Lu Wu said with a pleased expression.
Forcibly squeezing two pieces of cracked "iron ore" into the rock formation, the three of them dug a passage and accelerated the progress.
I do not know how long it has been.
Boom, the front was in vain, and there were no rocks as far as the tip of the sword could reach. A soft feeling came from the front. A faint smell of earth could be smelled between the nose.
Got through!
An idea flashed through the minds of the three of them. At this moment, the three of them felt unprecedented joy.
"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Sister Lin. We succeeded."
"Hurry up, we can retreat. I'll retreat to Senior Brother Pan and the others."
As Yang Ji spoke, he slipped and slid down the dug channel.
"Plop!"
The water splashed everywhere, and Yang Ji fell into the stone hall. He was shocked when he suddenly saw the surrounding situation clearly. He saw white waves in the hall, and the underground river water gushing out from the ground had already reached everyone's neck.
All the disciples of the sect were soaked in the cold underground river water, and the situation was in a precarious situation. The air in the cave had also become very thin, and it was difficult to even breathe here.
"Has it been this long?"
Yang Ji was shocked.
The three of them only focused on digging a passage in the cave. They had no idea how much time had passed.
"The rock structure underground has been destroyed, and the ground has collapsed in several places, leaving several large holes. We tried, but we couldn't stop it."
Pan Chen seemed to know what Yang Ji was thinking and said with a wry smile.
