Even though Li Nan and the others blocked the entrance of the cave with a lot of stone debris, water still continued to flow in.
When he realized this, he said decisively: "We can't go any further. We need to dig upward. There is still less water now, but it will definitely be faster than we can dig. After a while, we will all be flooded! Now we have left Linhai."
The city is over, there shouldn't be any formations on it that can't stop us from continuing upward!"
On their side, they were not directly rushed in by a large amount of sea water, but it was only delayed for a while, and they could not escape after all.
Digging upward is much more difficult than going straight forward, but they also have more people this time. One side expands the tunnel space forward to delay flooding, and the other side goes straight up.
To dig up a few meters, you have to dig out a section laterally, and then go up again, mainly to provide space for more than 900 people to stay.
Although it will delay time, this tunnel structure can also provide a certain buffer for the sea water, so that they will not be flooded in the first place.
Long Yaozu knew that the women and children of his Dragon Slaying Family were a drag, so he worked extremely hard.
Even though his body was covered in scars, he never stopped, and he was more active than those foundation-building monks.
He took the lead for the monks of the Dragon Slaying Family, so naturally no one dared to be lazy, at most there were some who were not as hardworking as he was.
Li Nan originally didn't expect this group of people who were only in the early stages of transformation to be able to help, so this time it was just by the way.
If Long Yaozu is willing to show off, just let him go. Otherwise, if those people don't do anything, Li Nan will still be upset.
He stayed at the very back, took out all his formation materials, and began to lay out some simple fourth-order formations. All the materials that he had not cared about before were put to use now.
It never hurts to stock up on a few extra things!
However, after struggling for so long, his original gains were basically wiped out.
It was Meng Xinyan and the others who helped sort out the storage bags they harvested on the battlefield, and found another batch.
The water spreads faster and faster, because the terrain here is too low, and the strong water pressure can speed up the flow of sea water, like a high-pressure spray gun, crazily filling it in.
The gaps between the stones are getting wider and wider.
A few hours later, the distance to the ground was only a few dozen meters at most. At the end, half of Li Nan's body was already submerged in the water, and the water level continued to rise.
He can only slow it down by expanding the surrounding tunnel space.
The good thing is that those monsters didn't catch up, otherwise Li Nan's consciousness would have been severely restricted in the water, and he wouldn't have had time to notice.
But there is another question that needs to be considered by him, that is, what to do after going up?
Maybe if you move up a little further, the sea water won't be able to go up, because the sea level will definitely be lower than the ground. According to the principle of the connector, the water level here will definitely not be higher than the sea level.
But at that time, the distance to the ground was probably less than ten meters, and the fourth-level monster could easily hear the movement.
Kill them all?
Who knows how many monsters there are out there, but once they are killed, they will have no way out.
Soon, as he imagined, the seawater stopped rising. Li Nan said: "Dig a tunnel horizontally. Hide in it for a while. Don't get too close to the ground. I'll go observe the situation and make arrangements for you."
!”
After Li Nan finished speaking, he dived directly down.
After diving for more than a hundred meters, he felt that those Zifus would be unable to detect him, so he dived directly into the Immortality Pearl.
Following the sea water, he manipulated the longevity pearl and slowly wandered around in the tunnel.
The monsters on his side are gone!
I don’t know what the reason was, maybe I was too impatient due to being tortured by the formations I went through, or maybe there were other reasons.
Following the current, he found that his speed was much faster.
The most important point is that with the help of the Immortality Pearl, his consciousness is not restricted by the sea water.
He can sense situations several miles away.
In this way, he slowly floated to the starting point. At this time, the place became an underground river of dark water, directly submerging the top stone wall.
It's impossible for normal people to breathe in here, but those monsters are very happy.
Li Nan moved forward to the casual cultivator's side and found that the monsters were picking up corpses to eat. There were countless corpses and a large number of third-level monsters.
The deeper he went, the more shocked Li Nan was.
Even though I had expected it, I never imagined that hundreds of thousands of people would be gone in just over a day!
He only entered one of the forks, and there were no living people, not even many fourth-level monsters alive.
At this time, those fourth-level monsters were devouring the corpses crazily, unable to devour them at all!
Li Nan took the opportunity to collect the corpses of many fourth-level monsters, as well as some storage bags from the waists of the Zifu monks, and he collected them all.
From just one fork in the road, he harvested more than two hundred fourth-level monsters, a small part of which were incomplete, and seventy or eighty storage bags of Zifu monks.
The reason why there are so many left is that the fourth-order monsters suffered equally heavy casualties. There were less than twenty fourth-order monsters alive in this fork, so they simply couldn't eat them.
Not long after the battle ended, the third-level monsters outside were still rushing in frantically. It would take a certain amount of time, and they did not dare to come to the fourth-level monsters to snatch food.
Li Nan retreated, leaving behind only the corpses of the Zifu monks and the dilapidated corpses of the fourth-order monsters. Anyway, there were only a few fourth-order monsters left, enough for them to eat for a while.
He took the opportunity to come to the next branch...
There is no other gain, just a storage bag that the fourth-level monsters and some monsters despise.
Meng Xinyan and the others had no time to clean up, so they could only pile them up into hills. Such a large area inside the longevity pearl was filled with the smell of blood.
It looks like a slaughterhouse!
Six hours later, Li Nan left here with a full harvest. Endless third-level monsters almost filled the tunnel.
They can live in the water, and the food here is plentiful enough to feed them for ten days and half a month.
There were also many third-level monsters that died, and Li Nan didn't even look down on them.
He followed the way he came, slowly returned to Lecheng Lord's original cave, and then walked out.
With the expansion of spiritual consciousness, Linhai City, which was originally prosperous, has turned into ruins.
Without the maintenance of the formation, none of those buildings would be intact under the trampling of third-order and fourth-order monsters.
There were even some who did not choose to enter the tunnel and wanted to hide in Linhai City. Almost none of them survived, and all of them were caught by the monsters.
He has lived here for two years and can be said to be very familiar with it. This is the longest time he has stayed here since arriving in Kyushu Continent.
Unexpectedly, everything happened so suddenly.
Even though he was the biggest beneficiary of this matter, he still felt a little emotional. After all, he had lost the soil that was most suitable for his growth.
If you go to other places, you will definitely be severely restricted. If you sell two level 4 elixirs, you will be investigated immediately.
These 30 million spiritual jade may be his last income.
I don’t know how long I can hold on to it. If something big happens, it may not be enough.
In more than ten years, he will still face the threat of Peacock and the Human Emperor, and in fifty years, he will face the catastrophe of Zi Mansion.
Once the catastrophe of the Zi Mansion comes, in order to protect himself, he will definitely take everyone around him and hide in the Immortality Pearl.
Then... you can't come out, and you will be locked by the will of heaven when you come out.
According to the instructions of the old dragon, one must cultivate to the Yuanshen realm in a place that can shield the secrets of heaven. Is 30 million spiritual jade enough to cultivate to the Yuanshen realm?
Li Nan didn't have any sixth-level treasures, so it was almost impossible to refine them. The supply of seventh-level elixirs depended on slow cultivation.
Moreover, the spiritual energy of the True Source Fruit Tree is not enough. It is only at the fifth level now, and it will take at least the seventh level to barely be able to practice.
If there are too many people, the seventh level is not enough, so the eighth level is required!
After all, the fifth-level spiritual veins can only barely supply two golden elixir monks for long-term cultivation. In the same way, the seventh-level true source fruit tree can only allow two people to cultivate to the soul. When others have cultivated, the spiritual energy will not be enough.
To upgrade to level six, it costs one million.
Upgrade to level seven and add another ten million!
Upgrade to level eight and get 100 million!
Suddenly, he realized that he was still too poor!
A lot of elixirs have to be produced...
Without 150 million, he would have no chance of surviving the Zifu catastrophe!
Sure enough, this so-called longevity bead is just a krypton gold thing!
Spend money to fight!
Unconsciously, he arrived outside Linhai City. His goal this time was to see the number of monsters above the tunnel so that he could make countermeasures.
Linhai City is full of monsters, and there are also a large number of monsters pouring in from outside.
Based on his memory, Li Nan slowly searched for the top of the tunnel, and finally found it only five or six miles away from the seaside!
It's just... there are actually five monsters guarding here!
It seemed that they knew there was someone down there, but the soil blocked their consciousness and they couldn't find the specific location.
These five monster beasts are all of the fifth level!
Although two of them looked seriously injured at first glance and their limbs were somewhat mutilated, it was obvious that their combat effectiveness was not weaker than that of a late-stage Zifu.
The other three heads were also injured, but they were level five monsters after all.
Even the trashiest fifth-level monsters are not something he can compete with.
The strongest method, the spiritual attack, is not enough!
If you want to break the situation, there is only one way to kill these five fifth-level monsters!
If the delay continues, the people below may suffocate to death, especially the children of the Dragon Slaying Family.
And if these five fifth-level monsters were not injured and their consciousness was damaged, when the real fifth-order monsters came over, they would definitely be able to find them twenty meters underground.
How can I have the strength to fight against level five monsters?
Li Nan discovered that there was no high-end combat power around him!
Those who are the highest in the Zifu are only in the middle stage of the Zifu, and their strength is not very good.
unless……
He suddenly thought of Long Shen.
According to Lin Susu's description, they are very close to Linhai City, only more than two hundred miles away, between Shenlong Island and Linhai City.
If he didn't think about anything else, even if he pulled Chi Li, he couldn't beat him.
But Long Shen is a golden elixir monk!
It shouldn't be a problem if you ask him to help hold down a few injured fifth-level monsters, right?
Thinking of this, Li Nan rushed towards the seaside. He only advanced a few miles and just fell into the sea, because it was faster this way.
Then, he discovered that there were two people hiding deep under the sea!
