According to the current speed of travel, in two days, we will be able to walk out of the land of a hundred miles. By then, everyone's cultivation will gradually recover, and everything will be different.
When they walked into an undulating hilly area, the storm slowly calmed down and the visibility became much clearer. Even at night, they could see for more than a mile.
Although it was still freezing cold, there was no strong wind, and I immediately felt much more comfortable. I had just traveled about three miles, and according to the plan, I should have dug a hole to rest. Tian Da suggested walking two more miles, and everyone was eager to return home.
In response, morale was boosted for a while.
Wu Sheng did not agree. He said to the crowd: "We must follow the rhythm. We have adapted to a three-mile break. This walking rhythm has been maintained very well. Don't change it easily. This is one of the reasons. The second is that the weather has improved.
It means that the risk of our exposure is increasing. We can see so far away, have you ever thought about how far Yin Lingluo can see?"
Everyone was looking around. They understood that what Wu Sheng said was right, but they could not restrain their eagerness to leave as soon as possible.
Long Er asked: "What has Wu Daoyou experienced?"
Wu Sheng sighed: "Stop talking so much, let's dig a hole."
Everyone started to take action. Wu Sheng still looked for a secret place under the hills and broke through the hardest part of the ground. Then he took Boss Song, Yao Laoqi, Wei Laojiu and Wu Shiyi to look for the wind, and assigned them to board the four
Each occupied a high place in each direction and patrolled around. Xuan Mingzi and Tian Da led the remaining people to expand in depth along the hole opened by Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng first came to the direction facing the Bingfeng Gorge, which was the area where Yin Lingluo was most likely to appear. He glanced back and forth among the gentle slopes of the hills. After looking for a while, he didn't find any figure, so he turned to the left again and went to
Take a look over there.
At this moment, Yao Laoqi from the right side called out softly: "Brother Wu!"
Turning his head to look, he saw him lying on his stomach at the highest point above the hill, waving to him desperately. Wu Sheng quickly walked up, lay beside him, and looked in the direction of his finger.
About a mile and a half away from here, there are a few vague figures on the highest ridge ahead. The one at the front is none other than Yin Lingluo. The few people following her seem to be strung together by ropes, and they are all drooping.
Hold your head.
Yao Laoqi's movement alarmed everyone, and they all looked at Wu Sheng with fear. No one dared to move at all.
The distance of one and a half miles is not long or short. If the movement is a little louder, maybe it will be discovered.
Wu Sheng tugged at the corner of Yao Laoqi's clothes and whispered: "Go down and let them continue digging. Be quiet and hurry up."
Yao Laoqi carefully slid down from the top and conveyed Wu Sheng's message. Xuan Mingzi, Tian Da and others started working again, this time much slower. Song Laoliu and others who were watching from the other three directions also withdrew.
Hide under these hills and help dig.
Wu Sheng stayed above and watched closely. Whenever Yin Lingluo's eyes turned around, he would lower his head and shrink his body, not even daring to take a breath.
At this moment, it felt like time passed so long.
Finally at some point, Wu Sheng's foot was touched by someone, which frightened him. When he looked back, it was Xuan Mingzi who touched it and signaled to him that the hole was dug.
Wu Sheng asked: "Has the outside of the cave been restored to its original appearance?"
Xuan Mingzi nodded and said, "Everyone is very careful."
Wu Sheng said: "You all go in, I will keep an eye on you from here."
Xuan Mingzi slipped down again and got into the dug hole.
Wu Sheng continued to watch, praying in his heart: leave quickly, leave quickly, why the hell should you leave...
Amid Wu Sheng's silent prayers, Yin Lingluo finally left, leading the group of figures behind her down the hill, but in the wrong direction, coming this way.
The hair on Wu Sheng's hair stood up, and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. He looked a few more times and found that Yin Lingluo had not changed direction. He didn't dare to stare anymore, so he quickly slipped out and got into the hole.
Under the command of an expert like Xuan Mingzi, the entrance to the cave was well concealed. It was blocked by a pile of rocks. It was hard to see in the dark. After Wu Sheng got in, he picked up a big stone to block most of the entrance. That was it.
It's safer.
However, Yin Lingluo's cultivation level is too high. After coming out of the Frozen Gorge, she may have returned to the level of a senior god refiner. Her perception is extremely sharp. If she really passes by the entrance of the cave, she will most likely detect something wrong.
Wu Sheng did not hesitate. After entering the cave, he judged the direction and immediately excavated inside, saying: "She is coming!"
Everyone immediately knew what he meant, and they started digging next to him, digging into the soil like a bunch of mad dogs. Their lives were at stake, and it was impossible not to go crazy!
The underground cave quickly extended forward, one foot, two feet, three feet. While Wu Sheng was desperately trying, he also slightly changed the direction according to habit, forming a curved surface. This was when he was chased by the academy under the Mangdang Mountain.
He has developed the habit of trying to prevent the enemy from finding out the direction of his tunnel and intercepting it in front.
The excavated soil was piled behind him, and Wan Baochang and others tried to pound it as solid as possible to block the way from behind.
Wu Sheng kept counting in his mind, and when he reached three thousand six hundred, he finally stopped. The tunnel should have advanced about five or sixty feet. Wu Sheng asked Tian Da to dig upward with a measuring ruler, and dug about seven feet.
Make a hole as big as your fist to let in the fresh air from outside, otherwise you will have to suffocate underground.
When there was fresh air in the cave, everyone continued to dig forward, digging for air every 3,600 times. After a night of this, when it was dawn, they had left the hills, and Wu Sheng finally let go
Everyone stopped.
Everyone turned from mad dogs to dead dogs, swaying and huddled in the hole to catch their breath.
After regaining their composure, they asked again: "Did you escape?"
"Is she still there?"
"Is everything okay?"
Wu Sheng comforted everyone: "It's safe for now."
Yao Laoqi was still scared: "It's so dangerous... Lao Si, Lao Wu, and Lao Ten, how come they are following behind the Yin Demon?"
Fatty Qiu said: "I must have climbed out along the ice ladder built by Brother Wu, but I didn't escape and was caught by the Yin Demon."
Tian Da asked: "What ice ladder?"
Wanbaochang immediately responded: "Originally, we built ice ladders to climb out of the frozen gorge. Later, Daoyou Wu felt it was unsafe and dug a tunnel. Those ice ladders had no time to evacuate. Yuan Si and the others may have discovered it and climbed up.
Already."
Tian Da shook his head: "Confused, what's the use of walking like this? Without Wu Daoyou's barrier, who can escape from the ice field? It's just asking for death."
Wanbaochang said: "They may think that we climbed up from the ice ladder, so they want to chase us. Who knows?"
Long Er said: "Ignore them, they usually hug Feng San and don't listen to greetings. How many people have they killed? It's okay to take them back and keep company with the people they killed!"
As he spoke, the chill coming from above the hole intensified, and the wind roared again. Wu Sheng climbed up to take a look, and said: "The storm has risen again, let's go!"
