Chapter 372 Perseverance [Nearly 6000 words]

Zhao Yuan found a higher dry cave, summoned some daily necessities and food from the Sumeru Ring, drank some, and swallowed some pills given to him by Wan Ling'er, and then refined the demon.

Nuclear healing.

Now, Zhao Yuan has mastered many healing methods, but the most efficient ones are Wan Ling'er's elixir and Master Su Xin's crystal healing method.

Although the elixir Wan Ling'er gave Zhao Yuan was not the legendary magical elixir, it was extremely effective in healing injuries.

After swallowing Wan Ling'er's pills, Zhao Yuan's damaged internal organs were already healed after just a few weeks of operation. In order to consolidate the effect, Zhao Yuan decided to continue using the magic core to heal his wounds.

The number of magic cores is extremely large, and there is no problem of waste.

At that time, Wan Ziyu was seriously injured and almost died, but Master Su Xin saved him with some top-quality crystal stones.

The energy of the demon core was refined through spiritual energy and continuously input into Zhao Yuan's eight extraordinary meridians. After entering the eight extraordinary meridians, Zhao Yuan activated the spiritual energy and began to use the body of the furnace to refine the energy of the demon core.

, completely melted into every bloodline.

The power of the magic core is extremely wild.

Zhao Yuan felt that the power in his body surged in an instant, rushing through his blood vessels like thousands of horses galloping.

After the surging power entered the body, it was like a burning fire and had completely disappeared.

Zhao Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that he had been recovering from his injuries for less than half a stick of incense, but now, his body had fully recovered, and abundant strength was flowing through his limbs, making him feel like he was ready to fly.

My body seems to have changed again.

In the past, it would take a long time for Zhao Yuan to absorb the power of the magic core and refine it, or directly penetrate the energy into the dragon armor. To refine it, it would take some time. But now, Zhao Yuan directly

Absorb and refine the energy of the magic core and use it for your own use.

Zhao Yuan's aura has made further progress.

"Are you feeling better?" Qiqi kept looking at Zhao Yuan and asked with concern.

"It's okay."

Zhao Yuan stood up, stretched his limbs, lifted up the black-backed long knife under his feet, and with a slight movement of his arm, the heavy black-backed long knife was lifted in the air as if it were light, and he picked up a knife flower. The knife flower was extremely complicated, as if it were a sword.

A silvery flower is in full bloom, extremely delicate.

Seeing Zhao Yuan's long hair flying, high energy and high spirits, Princess Qiqi lost her mind for a while and quickly looked away.

"Let's find the exit."

Zhao Yuan tidied up, strode to Princess Qiqi and bent down.

"What?" Princess Qiqi was stunned.

"The terrain in this cave is complicated and slippery, so I'll carry you on my back."

"I can leave by myself..."

"With your slow speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out in our lifetime." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Hey."

Qiqi lay on the back of Zhao Yuan and felt the fullness of her chest pressed against Zhao Yuan's back. A blush suddenly appeared on her face and her heart was beating fast. To Qiqi's relief, Zhao Yuan didn't seem to notice at all.

she.

"Okay, hold on tight!"

Zhao Yuan jumped down from the cave and began to explore along the cave's path, leaving some marks along the way to avoid getting lost. After all, if they couldn't find the way out, they would have to return to the vertical cave entrance.

We walked this way for more than ten miles, but this underground cave seemed to have no end, and the front was always pitch black.

At first, Qiqi would exclaim because of the beautiful scenery along the way, but gradually she became numb.

This huge cave was so quiet that it was suffocating. Except for the sound of water drops dripping from the top of the cave, the breathing of the two people could be clearly heard. Qiqi could even hear the beating of her own heart.

"We are back to where we started." Zhao Yuan suddenly stood still.

"origin?"

"Look, here is the mark I started to make, and there is the cave where we started to rest." Zhao Yuan carried Qiqi to the cave wall.

"Ah...really..." Qiqi was surprised to see a very clear arrow mark on the cave wall. When she looked up, she immediately saw a high hollow.

"It seems that we have to take a long-term approach."

Zhao Yuan sighed, returned to the simple cave where he started, and summoned the carpet from the Sumeru Ring.

"We have to get out quickly, Wan'er is in danger now." Qiqi said anxiously when she saw that Zhao Yuan had adopted a posture of protracted fighting.

"It's useless to be anxious. If this place is not a maze, then it is a huge ring-shaped cave."

"Which is better, the maze or the circular hole?" Qiqi asked.

"Theoretically, a maze is much better, because in any maze, there is a way out, while a circular cave is a dead end. Of course, this is just a theoretical statement. In fact, if this is a natural maze,

It’s not easy to get out..."

"Didn't you say that there will be an exit from the maze?"

"Yes, but this cave is too huge. The place we just passed is just a main cave, and between the main caves, there are many intricate caves in the caves. It is very likely that our way out is in those small caves.

Inside, the probability of finding an exit among thousands of small holes at once is one in ten thousand."

"Then let's look for it quickly, why are we wasting time?" Qiqi urged as if she didn't want to stay in one place.

"If we are looking for it, we must first determine the structure of the cave to see if it is a place of life or death. Only after determining the nature of the cave can we conduct a planned search. If we are lucky, we may find the exit in a few weeks.

If we are unlucky, it may take three to five years, or we may not be able to find an exit in our lifetime." Zhao Yuan said calmly.

"Ah...then...then...what should we do?" Qiqi stammered and looked at Zhao Yuan.

"First of all, we need to calm down. Only with clear thinking can we find a way out; secondly, we need to save food, because in my Sumeru precepts, there is not much food; finally, we no longer need to worry about external things.

Because we can't protect ourselves and are powerless, so whether it's Wan'er or Wan Ling'er's comfort, we can only leave it to fate."

"Wan'er... Wan'er is blessed with good fortune, and everything will be fine. Zhao Yuan, please think of a way quickly... I won't bother you... Calm down now and think of a way..."

Zhao Yuan nodded and summoned a lot of daily necessities from the Sumeru Ring.

"All our food is here. If we save a little, we should be fine for two months..."

After Zhao Yuan sorted out some daily necessities, he took out more than a dozen magic cores and embedded them on the cave wall. Immediately, with the concave cave as the center, dozens of feet around became detailed, and all kinds of strange stalactites appeared one by one.

show.

After that, Zhao Yuan searched the area again and found a water source with an undercurrent as a convenient place. In order to avoid Qiqi's embarrassment, he also hung a carpet as a barrier.

After the arrangements were made, Zhao Yuan summoned the tent again as a place for Qiqi to sleep. As for himself, he could just make do with a carpet.

"You clean up after yourself, I have to go to work."

"Ah...you want to leave here?" Qiqi suddenly became nervous when she saw Zhao Yuan picked up a pen and paper and jumped into the cave.

"The geographical environment of this cave is extremely complicated. I must master its structure before I can figure out a solution."

"Why don't you take me with you?"

"We can't work with you, because many caves can only be entered by one person, and bringing you with you will not only consume your physical strength, but also greatly reduce your efficiency, and our food can only support two people at most.

months, so we must hurry up."

"But...but..."

"I will not abandon you." Zhao Yuan stared at Qiqi with his deep eyes and said every word.

"I know." Looking at Zhao Yuan's determined gaze, Qiqi's face turned red inexplicably and she lowered her head.

"If there is danger, just shout loudly, and I will rush here as soon as possible... And, take this sword! Of course, you don't have to worry for the time being, I will start from here." Zhao Yuan Congxu

A flying sword was summoned from the Mijie. This sword is the flying sword of the disciples of Mount Fanjing.

"Um……"

Qiqi held the long sword and watched blankly as Zhao Yuan began to work.

Qiqi saw that after Zhao Yuan jumped into the cave, he began to observe the cave. He observed very carefully, tapping rocks from time to time, testing the water temperature with his hands, or holding his breath to feel the movement of the airflow...

During the observation, Zhao Yuanhui kept recording some data with pen and paper.

Qiqi sat on the hollow, looked at Zhao Yuan, and played with the long sword in her hand boredly.

This man always gives people a mysterious feeling.



This is a huge computing project.

Zhao Yuan had to distinguish the origin of the cave from the composition of the rock and the direction of the river erosion. By observing the air flow, he could determine whether the cave was connected to the outside world.

Zhao Yuan's observations were very detailed. He found out the rock composition and air flow of the cave, and he didn't even miss the water.

Zhao Yuan felt the magic of nature when he was at the Yangshan Leopard Cemetery in Xiaoyangshan.

There is no doubt that there are countless underground rivers in this huge cave. In this huge underground tributary, there must be an underground river leading to the outside world. Now, Zhao Yuan wants to synthesize all the data and calculate a safe

's export.

In addition to the composition of the cave, Zhao Yuan also needs to draw the plane of the entire cave. Only in this way can he not get lost and avoid repeated work. In this kind of calculation, if you are lucky, you are likely to encounter a

exit.

Zhao Yuan's workload is very heavy.

At the beginning, when Qiqi saw the stack of drawings and calculation formulas that Zhao Yuan was waiting for, she didn't care. But in the next few days, Zhao Yuan would bring stacks of drawings when he came back. Qiqi's

Only then did I realize that this was by no means an easy thing.

one day!

Two days!

Three days!



Eight full days passed. During these eight days, Zhao Yuan was overloaded with work and barely said a word to Qiqi. The stack of drawings became thicker and thicker.

At the beginning, Qiqi was worried that Zhao Yuan would take the opportunity to molest her. You know, this place is so chaotic. However, Zhao Yuan had no idea about this at all. He was too busy.

, except for returning to the cave to sort out data, he basically works in the main cave.

On the ninth day, Zhao Yuan returned to the cave, sat cross-legged on the carpet and began to calculate some data. Qiqi brought Zhao Yuan a cup of steaming boiling water and some dry food. These days, Qiqi also realized that they could not even think about it in the short term.

After going out, she began to decorate the small cave and set up a small stove. Every time Zhao Yuan came back, he would bring her some small firewood dried with spiritual energy. There was not much firewood, and the quantity was very small.

, however, it is no problem to boil a cup of boiling water to drink occasionally, which makes the cave more lively.

"Zhao Yuan, eat something. You haven't eaten for eight days."

"Thank you." Zhao Yuan did not raise his head, reached out to take the cup, took a gentle sip, and then threw himself into the vast and complicated calculations.

"Zhao Yuan, you have to eat something." Qiqi grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand.

"I am a cultivator. I can do without food for ten and a half days. But you are a mortal. You can do without food for a day. You'd better be more economical." Zhao Yuan sighed, raised his head and looked at Qiqi.

"Are we unable to go out?" Qiqi suddenly realized something was wrong.

"It's hard to say." Zhao Yuan gently patted Qiqi's hand and comforted her.

"Tell me your calculations."

"It's very complicated... The formation of this cave is very strange. On the cave wall opposite us is a huge rock with a diameter of more than five kilometers and an oval shape. The underground river has eroded a huge rock around it.

The ring-shaped cave is surrounded by rocks. The cave wall we are leaning against is surrounded by huge rocks. Its composition is also very complex. The huge rocks are mixed with thick layers of soil. After years of erosion,

There are tens of thousands of small caves scattered among them, connected in series and intersecting with each other, forming a maze of ring caves... If we are lucky, maybe we can find a way out of the cave..."

"What if you have bad luck?" Qiqi's bright eyes stared at Zhao Yuan.

"Bad luck...haha...my luck has always been good."

"I'm asking, what if we are unlucky?" Qiqi asked reluctantly.

"We will starve to death here. Of course, it may take a long time to really starve to death, because there are many small blind fish in this cave..."

"Those fish are about the same size as the tip of a needle?" Qiqi laughed dumbly.

"Yes." Zhao Yuan nodded awkwardly.

"Zhao Yuan, I want to ask you something." Qiqi stared at Zhao Yuan with a serious face.

"What's up?"

"I want to die in front of you."

"...We will not die."

"Zhao Yuan, I'm serious, promise me! If you die, I will be lonely and scared. If I die in front of you, I will feel more at ease." Qiqi's expression was extremely serious.

"Our food can last for two months, don't worry, it's only been nine days." Zhao Yuan sighed and said with relief.

"I know, in fact, our food can only last a month. Look at your appearance and see for yourself!" Qiqi took out a small mirror from her bag and handed it to Zhao Yuan.

"What are you looking at...ah..."

Zhao Yuan looked in the mirror and was startled. He saw himself in the mirror with sunken eyes, like a black-armored demon whose soul had been sucked away by a black-hearted wooden sword.

"Zhao Yuan, although you are very powerful, you are only a junior cultivator and have not yet reached the legendary level of Bigu. What's more, your high-intensity work every day now consumes not only your physical strength, but also your energy. If you don't work for a few days,

To eat, I’m afraid…”

"Um."

Zhao Yuan nodded, picked up the dry food, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it slowly with boiled water.

The atmosphere became inexplicably tense.

Zhao Yuan has always been an optimistic person. He never thought that he would be trapped here, but now, he has to think about this problem.

"Zhao Yuan, was it you who killed Fanjingmen's senior brother?" Qiqi suddenly asked.

"Ah...what do you know?" Zhao Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and murderous intent overflowed.

"Sure enough, you were the one who killed him." Qiqi was completely unaware of Zhao Yuan's murderous intention. She sighed softly and touched the long sword in her hand.

"Do you know him?" Zhao Yuan looked at the long sword and understood instantly. After a moment of hesitation, the boiling murderous intention disappeared, and a wry smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he was still thinking about killing people and silencing them. It was a big joke.

.

"He is my fiancé." Qiqi said calmly.

"Fiancé!" Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"Yes, my father betrothed me to him in exchange for a cultivation secret book from the Fanjing Sect. It is said that the secret book can allow the royal family to break the restrictions of gods and allow us royal family to cultivate and become immortals." Qiqi's face revealed.

A touch of loneliness.

"Sorry." Zhao Yuan really couldn't think of a better way to say it.

"There is nothing to be sorry for. He and I have never met and have no relationship. Moreover, if he had not died, I would not have gone to Fanjing Mountain, let alone met you. Then

, my whole life will be ordinary... Haha, the magnificent events I have experienced during this period are enough for me to die without regrets."

"I regret dying." Zhao Yuan said with a bitter smile.

"Tell me about my fiancé." Qiqi couldn't help but giggle when she saw Zhao Yuan's dejected look.

"That person..."

Looking at Qiqi, who was trembling with flowers, Zhao Yuan was immediately moved by lust. He quickly controlled the thoughts in his heart and told the whole story.

Although Zhao Yuan didn't add anything to it, Qiqi was shocked and nervous. When Zhao Yuan finished telling the story, Qiqi said two words: "You deserve to be killed!"

"Yes, this man is narrow-minded and vicious. If I don't kill him, he will be killed sooner or later."

"Zhao Yuan, you are such a strange person." Qiqi said softly.

"Strange! What kind of strange method?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"Sometimes, you are wild and unruly, but more often than not, you are thoughtful and careful every step of the way; sometimes, you are like a slut who wants to pounce on a beautiful woman and take a bite when he sees one, but most of the time, you are just as oblivious to

Women are like nothing; you are talented and literary, but you never show off your words... You always give people an extreme feeling. Sometimes you look weak and talkative, but in fact, you are never led by others.

Walk with your nose..."

"Why don't I feel this way..."

"You just said that the process of killing senior brother was full of ups and downs and thrills. From it, it can be seen that you were bold but not anxious at the same time. Both your patience and strategy are remarkable. When it comes to lusting after women.

, you and Wan Ling'er obviously love each other. I don't think Wan Ling'er would refuse if you wanted to, but you were able to control your desires. The literary talent you showed in Jucheng, the northern capital,

It's enough to put those Hanlin University scholars to shame! Finally, you seem to rarely reject others, but you have your own bottom line. There are probably very few people in this world who can influence you."

"I don't know whether you are praising me or hurting me." Zhao Yuan smiled, sat cross-legged, picked up a pen and paper, and began to calculate.

"Actually, I didn't tell you your greatest advantage." Qiqi's clear eyes showed a hint of brilliance.

"Haha, there are still advantages. Let's talk about it." Zhao Yuan raised his head.

"Be persistent and never give up!"

"My face is burning with such praise from you." Zhao Yuan laughed.

"Really, Zhao Yuan, you have a spirit in your bones, an unyielding spirit. I know that on the first day, you found that this cave is a desperate place, but you are still patiently looking for hope...

..." Qiqi's eyes became moist as she spoke.

"Look, look, I've moved you. You're going to die anyway, why don't we live happily and then die." Zhao Yuan stretched out his hand, lifted Qiqi's smooth chin, and laughed loudly.

"I'm talking to you about business!"

Qiqi's face turned red, and she slapped Zhao Yuan's hand away angrily. She lowered her beautiful eyes, not daring to look at Zhao Yuan.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I have to go to work. You can rest early. Maybe we can go out tomorrow."

Zhao Yuan smiled and began to concentrate on his work.

Zhao Yuan didn't want to die, so he had to look for hope from the vast data...
