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.
Yang Ji's lips moved, but before he could speak, a burst of anxious voices immediately came from all directions in the flash of lightning:
"Senior Brother Yang, how are you doing?"
"Did you get through?"
"Senior Sister Lin and Senior Brother Lu?"
"Can't we escape?"
…
A large group of people swarmed over and surrounded Yang Ji. They were squeezed in the middle, with eyes full of anxiety and worry.
Only then did Yang Ji come back to his senses and said quickly:
"No. We succeeded. We have been connected and we can leave."
For a moment, everything was silent, and all eyes were fixed on Yang Ji. A moment later, a burst of shocking cheers suddenly broke out from the crowd.
"Very good!"
Zhao Hua and Pan Chen stood in the water and clenched their fists fiercely.
Yang Ji, Lin Qingyan, and Lu Wu entered the cave. They stood here, unable to see anything, and all of them felt anxious. No one knew whether they succeeded or not.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Qingyan and Lu Wu quickly slipped out of the hole. A group of people gathered and quickly discussed a countermeasure. Zhao Hua, Pan Chen and others stopped the water. Yang Ji took the others out first.
After everything was decided, Yang Ji quickly led everyone to crawl out of the hole.
"Buzz!"
At the end of the rock mass, Yang Ji shook out the "Di Xing Zhou", and circles of light yellow ripples spread out. The Di Xing Zhou seemed to be thrown into the water, turning into six feet in length, without being affected by the soil at all.
.
Whoosh!
Yang Ji jumped up, then waved to the four Iron Crown disciples who were fleeing behind him:
"Junior brothers, come up."
When the four people came up, Yang Ji pumped up his energy, and with a whoosh, he rose straight to the ground with lightning speed. Time was running out, and Yang Ji almost pushed the boat to the extreme.
"Hurry up, hurry up..."
Yang Ji always felt that the speed of "ground boat" was very fast, but at this time, he just felt that the speed of "ground boat" was too slow.
A short journey felt like an incomparably long journey to Yang Ji.
"Buzz!"
I don’t know how long it took, but my eyes lit up and a breath of fresh air hit my face.
"It's finally out."
The four Iron Crown Sect disciples were extremely excited.
"We're here, come up quickly."
However, Yang Ji had no time to appreciate the joy of surviving the disaster. He didn't even look around. The "ground boat" shook and threw the group of people to the ground, and immediately plunged into the ground with another force.
The underground rock structure has been destroyed, and the water is rising very fast. There are still more than 30 people there waiting for Yang Ji to rescue them.
For each trip of four, Yang Ji had to make seven or eight trips, and he had to speed up the time.
The sect disciples in the cave kept jumping up, and Yang Ji controlled the "ground boat" to go back and forth, nervously transporting these sect disciples.
Five trips, six trips, seven trips...
Finally no one could be seen in the cave.
Yang Ji slipped into the tunnel like lightning, and what greeted him was a pool full of underground river water. Pan Chen and others were completely submerged under the water.
"not good!"
Yang Ji was shocked and quickly dived to the bottom of the water. He saw Pan Chen, Zhao Hua and others sinking to the bottom of the water one by one, still suppressing the water holes in the ground to buy time for everyone.
The waves rolled, and Pan Chen and others jumped up, took out the "wave-avoiding beads" on the cave wall, turned over, and like carps leaping over the waves, they got into the cave with Yang Ji.
"Boom!"
The moment everyone got into the cave, there was a loud noise behind them, countless huge rocks fell from the top of the hall, and the rumbling sound was endless.
——The entire stone hall completely collapsed.
"Too dangerous!"
Everyone was sitting in the cave, listening to the earth-shattering sound of water waves and landslides behind them, and they were all frightened.
The structure of the entire underground hall has been completely destroyed by the internal and external pressure. If everyone slows down for just a moment, they will be completely crushed underneath.
This is not just a few rocks, there are hundreds of thousands, millions of tons of rocks pressed down from the top. Even if Pan Chen and the others are made of iron, they still have to be crushed into discus.
"There's going to be a landslide here too, brothers, let's leave quickly!"
Yang Ji said nervously.
The stone surrounding the tunnel is also shaking, and it is getting more and more violent. The chain effect of underground collapse is emerging. Soon, the tunnel dug by Yang Ji and Lin Qingyan will also collapse.
"Walk."
Everyone used their hands and feet to climb out quickly along the ramp... (To be continued)
