Chapter 81: Escaped
"I don't know much about mosquitoes and soil ants, what are their habits, what are they afraid of, does Senior Brother Han know?" Zhao Lengfei said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Mosquitoes and soil ants are two very strange insects that have a very short lifespan, they only live for a few days, they appear and disappear every time, and people don't know where they are hiding at other times.
Mosquitoes and soil ants cooperate with each other when they hunt their prey, and few creatures can escape their search, as long as they find something alive, they will not be afraid of life and death, and if they die, they will go on again, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
I heard that the Sanyuan Mountain Range used to often appear without warning and suddenly appeared a wave of insects composed of mosquitoes and soil ants, after Xuanshuimen settled in the Sanyuan Mountain Range, he kept sending Xiuzhen masters to hunt and kill the mosquito queen and ant queen in the insecticidal tide, the Sanyuan Mountain Range has not seen an insect tide for hundreds of years, and many people think that these two insects have become extinct in the Sanyuan Mountain Range. Han Qi said.
"It's a bit tricky for them not to be afraid of death, does Senior Brother Han know what hurts them the most? And how they divide the labor when rounding up their prey. ā
"Ordinary mosquitoes have no defense, any attack can easily kill them, but there are too many of them to kill at all, and the defense of the mosquitoes that evolved into spirit insects is slightly higher, but they can't resist the spell weapon attacks of the cultivators in the foundation building period.
The soil ants are just the opposite, their bodies are extremely hard, ordinary soil ants are already invulnerable, and the soil ants that have evolved into spirit insects are even hard to attack the five elements of the dust level spell and the dust level magic weapon.
The perception of the mosquitoes that evolved into spirit insects is extremely keen, and any spiritual power fluctuations cannot escape their perception, the perception of the soil ants is sluggish, they are all obeying the command of the mosquitoes, the soil ants are semi-underground insects, almost pervasive and indestructible, it has happened before that the soil ants gnaw off half of the mountain and dig out the monsters hiding in the belly of the mountain and eat them, when the mosquitoes and the soil ants act together, the sky and the earth are all swept over, and almost no demon beasts can escape their search. ā
After listening to Han Qi's words, Lan Susu's face suddenly became very ugly, and she had no idea anymore, so she had to look at Zhao Lengfei.
"If it's really as the senior brother said, then the soil ants can be ignored, let's find a way not to be discovered by the mosquitoes, the wisdom of low-level demon beasts is limited, and it's normal to not be able to hide from the mosquitoes, we are much smarter than those low-level demon beasts, and a hundred times smarter than flying insects like mosquitoes, it's impossible to even hide their whereabouts."
Zhao Lengfei seemed to have an idea in his heart, and he said again: "Senior Brother Han, do you know how much the soil ants will go underground at most if the mosquitoes don't give the soil ants information?" ā
"In order to maintain the speed of travel, the soil ants will not go too deep into the ground, and they should not exceed three feet, but it is impossible to escape the perception of the mosquitoes when they hide underground, and the mosquitoes can sense the fluctuations of spiritual power ten zhang underground." Han Qi didn't understand why Zhao Lengfei asked like this, so his expression was quite puzzled.
"There are many pores in the soil, and the barrier to spiritual power fluctuations is very small, and it is normal for the mosquito to perceive such a deep feeling, but if it is changed to water, the mosquito can perceive how many feet underwater?"
"It's more than a zhang, but the mosquito will lay eggs when it encounters water, and the larvae of the mosquito will sweep the water once hatched, and the underwater larvae are much more difficult to deal with than the adults in the sky, and once the underwater movement is too large, the mosquito will increase the amount of eggs produced, I just said, hiding under the water will not work."
"I know, but I don't want to hide underwater, I want to hide underground, so that mosquitoes and their larvae won't be able to find us, and the ants won't go deep underground to find us."
"Hidden underwater? How is that possible? Not to mention if we can hold our breath down there for so long, how can we go underwater? Han Qi asked puzzled.
"We don't need to go underwater, we just need to go deep underground and then bring the water to our heads." Zhao Leng said.
"How can a man hide in the ground to draw water from the ground? Water on the head won't soak down? We have to stay underground for a long time, how do we ventilate? ā
"I have my own way to do this, let's get out of here first and find a river beach." Zhao Lengfei looked around.
The Sanyuan Mountains are full of rivers and lakes, and it didn't take them long to find an ideal river beach, Zhao Lengfei pointed to a certain place on the river beach and said, "It's here, we have to make a big pit several zhang deep first." ā
"Brother, there are so many rocks here, I'm afraid we won't be able to dig out a big pit several feet deep in a day." Mu Xizi stomped on the ground and asked with some confusion.
"I can figure it out by myself without my sister's hands." Zhao Lengfei said, and took out a talisman from the storage bag.
"This is a Ground Rank Talisman?"
"Well, I'll use this Ground Rank Talisman backwards later, it should be able to create a deep enough pit."
"This earthen barrier talisman is enough to trap a fourth-order demon beast or a heartbeat stage cultivator, it's a pity to use it here."
"There's no pity, anything outside the body is not as important as your life, you guys stay out of the way, I use the ground level talisman a little reluctantly, don't hurt you by mistake."
Zhao Lengfei's strength increased greatly after he re-cultivated the Refining Inheritance Bead to the middle stage of foundation building, and this originally unusable earth-level talisman could now be barely used.
"Boom!" The river beach shook violently like an earthquake, and the earthen walls that were almost high on all sides slowly rose on the river beach.
"Alright." Zhao Lengfei waved his hand to blow away the dust raised, and was the first to jump onto the earthen wall, part of the earthen wall was immersed in water, and in the center was a large square pit seven or eight zhang deep.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what should we do next?" Lan Susu and the others didn't know what Zhao Lengfei was planning.
"First open the earthen wall in the river, put half of the water in it, and then we use the ice charm to condense the water in the pit into ice cubes, and when the ice is condensed, I will blow up some bubbles in the water to make space." Zhao Lengfei sent a few talismans to each of Han Qi and the others.
The four of them worked together for about two hours, and finally condensed a few zhang deep ice in the pit, and a small bubble ball was created in the ice, Zhao Lengfei commanded everyone to jump into the pit, and dug a deep hole connecting the bubble mass in the ice, and then used the talisman to blow up the bubble ball into a trumpet-shaped space.
At this time, it was close to dusk, and there were constantly demon beasts around, and those demon beasts only cared about fleeing for their lives, and they didn't even look at the deep pit of the earthen wall that suddenly appeared, thinking that the army of mosquitoes and soil ants was not far from here.
"The space under this ice is large enough, the four of us have no problem hiding in it for a day and a night, you go down to the inside first to prepare the waterfall charm and the ice condensing talisman, I will play the talisman later to blow up the earthen wall by the river, and then arrive, when I enter it, you will hit the waterfall talisman and the ice condensing talisman into the hole as quickly as possible to seal the entrance of the cave." Zhao Lengfei arranged.
"Okay, junior brother, be careful." Lan Susu and the others went down to the cave as they were told.
After Zhao Lengfei waited for the three of them to go down to the space under the ice, he raised his hand and hit several talismans at the earthen wall near the river, and then jumped deep into the ice cave.
The earthen wall near the river was blown apart by the talisman thrown by Zhao Lenghai, and a large number of gravel and soil blocks were smashed into the pit, covering the entire ice layer, and then a large amount of river water began to flow into the pit, slowly filling the deep pit.
As soon as Zhao Lengfei entered the space under the ice, Lan Susu and the others immediately punched the talisman that had been prepared long ago into the entrance of the cave, and the water generated by the water waterfall talisman was instantly frozen by the ice condensing talisman, and the entrance of the cave was tightly blocked.
This space is not at the bottom of the ice, but in the middle of the ice, the size of a room, under the reflection of the spirit stone lamp, the surrounding area looks crystal clear and beautiful.
"In less than half an hour, the deep pit will be filled with river water, the ice is stronger than the water to the fluctuation of spiritual power, the mosquitoes should not be able to find us in the ice, and it is unlikely that the soil ants will go down to such a deep place." Zhao Lengfei heard the sound of rushing water on the ice, and knew that his plan was mostly successful.
"Brother, will this ice float? The iceboat you made at Xindao Lake is floating on the water. Mu Xizi asked after hearing the sound of water.
"No, the water is left from above, there is no water under the ice, it will never float, if you wait for the water around the ice to melt, the water will be immersed under the ice, it may float, but the temperature of the river is not high, and we are so deep in the ground, the ice will not melt for a day or two."
"That's good, my brother is really good, he understands everything, I haven't heard what you said."
"Not only has my junior sister never heard of it, but I don't know about these things, it seems that I will have to study hard with my junior brother in the future." Lan Su Dao.
"Senior Sister Lan, don't praise me, it's not certain that this thing will work, we can only resign ourselves to fate now, if the soil ants gnaw through the ice and kill in, don't scold me."
"Senior brother does his best for us, I can see it, if the soil ants gnaw through the ice and kill it, then I will die with you, and I don't feel lonely underground with my junior brother."
After Lan Susu finished speaking, she felt that what she said was wrong, and hurriedly changed her words with a red face: "I said it wrong, I have Senior Sister Mu as a companion, not Senior Brother." ā
"I didn't expect that the relationship between Senior Sister Lan and my brother would be so good after a few days, so I said, my brother is very likable, Senior Sister and my brother just had some misunderstanding at the beginning, and everything will be fine if you solve it." Mu Xizi said with a smile.
"Sister, don't make fun of me." Zhao Lengfei took out a book from the storage bag and handed it to Mu Xizi, "I have a breathing technique here, although this technique is not of high level, and it cannot be mastered in a short period of time, but it is better than nothing, you all learn it, and try to restrain your breath for a while, and the possibility of being discovered by mosquitoes will be smaller." ā
When Mu Xizi and the others were learning the breathing technique, Zhao Lengfei took off the thorn armor on his body and put it into the storage bag.
"You put anything on your body that has spiritual power fluctuations into the storage bag, and then take a few more clothes out, add clothes when you feel cold when you meditate, don't use the true qi to warm up, and I will also turn off the spiritual stone lamp later, and we will meditate here for the next day, without any other actions."
After about five or six hours, the four people in meditation opened their eyes almost at the same time, and the whole ice was shaking, and there was still the sound of water flowing on the ice, and there was only one reason for this, and that was the arrival of an army of mosquitoes and soil ants.
Han Qi and Mu Xizi had seen the formation of mosquitoes and soil ants as if they were advancing into a hurricane, so they were not surprised by the shaking of the ice, although there was darkness around them and nothing could be seen, they both stared at the top of the ice in unison, both of them used the breathing technique to the extreme, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.
Although Zhao Lengfei was a little surprised by such a big movement, he didn't make any moves, and Lan Susu's body trembled a little because of fear.
Zhao Lengfei had cultivated the aura spell, and even if he didn't use the spirit enhancement technique, he could see things in the dark, and when he looked at Lan Susu's appearance, he knew that Lan Susu's mood fluctuations were too large, and even the fluctuations of the true qi in his body were also great.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a slight crashing sound on the ice, the sound was not loud, but it was very dense, and several people easily thought that it was the larvae of the mosquito hitting the ice, and their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
Zhao Lengfei knew that it was not good, so he immediately got up and walked behind Lan Susu, and covered the piece of cloth made of hidden silk on Lan Susu.
Lan Susu couldn't see Zhao Lengfei, she was startled by the fabric that suddenly appeared on her head, and before she could make any other moves, Zhao Lengfei hugged her through the fabric and covered her mouth.
"Senior sister, it's me." Zhao Lengfei saw Lan Susu grabbing her hands and wanted to break them open, so she was busy whispering in her ear.
"Qi back to the dantian, seal the knowledge in the heart, empty qi meridian eight veins, close the nine acupoints and seven orifices, and break the spirit ...... the outside world" Seeing that Lan Susu did not continue to struggle, Zhao Lengfei recited the trick of the breathing technique in her ear.
Lan Susu's breath quickly subsided, and the sound of the ice crashing over everyone's heads became smaller and smaller, and after seven or eight minutes, the impact finally disappeared.
Zhao Lengfei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he wanted to let go of Lan Susu, but found that Lan Susu was still holding his hands tightly, so he whispered in Lan Susu's ear: "Senior Sister Lan, I will take away the hidden silk cloth covering your spiritual power, you have to continue to hold your breath, and you can't make any other moves, understand?" ā
Lan Susu nodded when she heard this, and let go of Zhao Lengfei's hand covering her mouth.
After Zhao Lengfei took off the hidden silk cloth covering Lan Susu's head, Lan Susu still held on to his other hand, he tried to pull it, but Lan Susu grabbed his other hand as well.
Zhao Lengfei didn't know what Lan Susu meant, he couldn't pull out his hand, so he had to sit down behind Lan Susu, but he didn't expect Lan Susu to lean his whole body towards him.
Lan Susu was indeed frightened by the movement of mosquitoes and ants just now, and after being hugged by Zhao Lenghai, she suddenly found that she was not afraid of anything, as if Zhao Lengfei would protect her no matter what happened, so she grabbed one of Zhao Lenghai's hands and didn't let go.
Lan Susu grabbed Zhao Lengfei's left hand, that is, the one she had bitten, stroking the gauze that Zhao Lengfei wrapped around her hand, Lan Susu didn't know what was wrong with her, she just wanted to get closer to Zhao Lenghai, so she couldn't help leaning on it.
Looking at Lan Susu half-nestled in his arms, Zhao Lengfei was suddenly at a loss and not embarrassed, after these days of getting along, Zhao Lengfei knew that he didn't hate Lan Susu, on the contrary, he had a good impression of Lan Susu, but this kind of good feeling was not between men and women, but similar to the kind of relationship between him and Mu Xizi.
Zhao Lengfei's mind was much more mature than that of other thirteen-year-old boys, and with a warm fragrant nephrite like Lan Susu, it was impossible for him not to have that kind of thought between men and women, so the only thing he could do was to look at his nose and nose, and read the mantra of the breath technique in his heart over and over again before expelling the distracting thoughts in his heart.
After two hours, the vibration of the ice gradually stopped, and the sound of water flowing over their heads disappeared, but Zhao Lengfei and the others still didn't dare to make any other moves, they remained motionless and held on for another hour.
"Those mosquitoes and soil ants should be gone, I'll turn on the spirit stone lamp later." Zhao Lengfei opened his mouth and said, his first sentence was said to everyone, but the second sentence was said to Lan Susu in his arms.
Lan Susu felt that Zhao Lengfei's breath when she spoke was blowing on her face, her heart was pounding, and she hurriedly let go of Zhao Lengfei's hand and sat up straight.
Lan Susu actually woke up from the feeling that she couldn't help but wake up, and after she came to her senses, she was at a loss like Zhao Lenghai, so she was not embarrassed, she didn't know what to do, she was in Zhao Lengfei's arms for more than two hours, and she didn't dare to move.
"Let's go!" Seeing Lan Susu leaving him, Zhao Lengfei turned on the spirit stone lamp, and everyone stayed in the dark for a long time, and suddenly saw the light covering their eyes, and after a while, their eyes got used to it.
"It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, I finally escaped, I was scared to death just now." Mu Xizi patted his chest and said.
"Me too, so why would something suddenly hit the ice? Fortunately, it didn't take long. Han Qi looked at the ice above his head.
Lan Susu peeked at Zhao Lengfei and found that Zhao Lengfei was staring at her, the two of them looked at each other and were not embarrassed, Lan Susu blushed and hurriedly turned his head.
Zhao Lengfei also blushed a little, he couldn't mention the matter just now, he hurriedly said: "Who knows, but these don't matter anymore, the most important thing now is to find a way to get out of here." ā
