Chapter 024: Leave with your hands

"What was that sound just now?" At five o'clock in the morning, several Bai family evolutionaries who came to the back garden to taste tea sat around the stone table and chatted and laughed leisurely, and suddenly an old man in a white robe frowned, as if he had heard something.

"What sound?" Hearing the old man's words, the other two old men, who were both over sixty years old, also frowned, but soon one of the old men listened attentively for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "Maybe there are some small insects crawling around." ”

"I guess so." The white-robed old man, who was the first to hear the strange noise, didn't think much about it, and after smiling, he ignored the slight rustling sound he had just heard, and didn't take it to heart.

But at this moment, Ma Yuhui, who was still lying in the underground passage, had already been shocked into a cold sweat, and secretly exclaimed...... Since hearing the conversation between the two old men in the early hours of yesterday morning, Ma Yuhui, who was swept by a strong sense of crisis, immediately increased the speed of excavating the soil layer.

But yesterday he was very lucky, he dug forward more than half a meter in one go, and no one found out that he was doing a small action underground, and there was no danger.

Unexpectedly, his excavation action today attracted the attention of those old people, but fortunately, these old men of the Bai family didn't think much about it, otherwise...... Ma Yuhui, who realized that he was a little too anxious, could only sigh secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to move in this narrow passage.

When it was noon, Ma Yuhui, who was paying close attention to the movement on the surface, breathed a sigh of relief...... Everyone is gone, so do you want to keep digging or do you want to quit for the time being?

Thinking of the blockade that the Lu family might have begun now, Ma Yuhui gave up the idea of seeking stability, grabbed the dark golden hidden knife and began to dig as carefully as possible.

Fortunately, his luck this time was also good, after digging for about ten minutes, he touched a tree root, and if you calculate the distance, this is almost the location where the old ginkgo tree grows.

Digging under the roots of the old ginkgo tree, it means that Ma Yuhui has approached the box containing the thousand-year-old Cordyceps, and the huge temptation is in front of him...... After realizing that time was pressing, Ma Yuhui hesitated for a while, but still chose to grit his teeth and continue, as long as he could get the Millennium Golden Cordyceps as soon as possible, even if he was discovered by the Bai family's evolutionaries at this time, what could he do? Ma Yuhui is completely sure that he will escape safely from the underground passage!

With such confidence, there is no possibility of giving up, thinking that he may now dig up the box containing the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps with a casual knife, Ma Yuhui's movements have become a little bigger.

Large chunks of dirt fell, and soon buried Ma Yuhui's body in the soil, but his hand still grabbed the dark golden hidden knife and continued to dig, digging and digging, half an hour passed, and it was more than one hour to wait...... It's dangerous.

Keep digging? Dig!

Ma Yuhui, who was determined to dig up the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps as soon as possible, was really ruthless this time, and he went down a few times, and the result really made him dig down a rectangular iron box.

The iron box fell and smashed on the back of Ma Yuhui's hand, and the cold feeling made Ma Yuhui excited all of a sudden...... Got it?!

It was at this time that there was another sound of footsteps on the surface, and Ma Yuhui could only suppress the excitement in his heart, and once again turned into a hibernating ground mouse, patiently waiting for the best time to come.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sun in the sky also set on the west mountain.

The footsteps that had been ringing in the back garden for an afternoon finally faded away, and Ma Yuhui knew that his chance to escape had come!

With the index finger and thumb of his right hand, he pinched the handle of the dark gold Tibetan knife, and with the remaining three fingers, he clamped the iron box that was only the size of a seven or eight-year-old child's palm.

After all the preparations were ready, Ma Yuhui immediately twisted his body and retreated back, fortunately, his luck was really good this time, until he retreated into the passage and stood firm, and no one noticed the strange noise coming from the corner of the back garden again.

Ma Yuhui, who returned to the dark passage, did not rush to leave immediately, but carefully lifted the lid of the rusty iron box with as little movement as possible...... Although he was eighty percent sure that this iron box contained the thousand-year-old Golden Cordyceps, if he was not sure, Ma Yuhui, who had been holding mice in this dark passage for so long, was not at ease.

What if not? Isn't that a waste of all your work?

Fortunately, his luck was really good today, after opening the iron lid, he reached out and touched it, and he grabbed a wooden box that was much smaller than the iron box...... "It must be the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps!" Grabbing this wooden box, Ma Yuhui's tense mood suddenly relaxed, because Bai Meng told him that the box containing the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps was hidden in an iron box, and such a bizarre coincidence would never happen in this world, right?

The thousand-year-old golden cordyceps had arrived, and Ma Yuhui, who had been in this dark underground passage for ten days, no longer stayed, and immediately turned around and jumped out silently like a ghost in the direction of the scheduled departure.

The departure route that Bai Meng chose for Ma Yuhui was not too far, and he walked about seventeen kilometers along the passage to the entrance and exit of a section of the passage...... This is a sewage pipe directly connected to the underground of Beitong City!

When Ma Yuhui ran all the way to a large iron lid with a black schoolbag on his back, as soon as he opened the iron lid, he smelled a pungent stench surging in from outside.

Fortunately, the entrance and exit of this passage is on the side of the underground sewage channel, but there is no sewage underneath, and when you push open the iron cover, you can see a path that can be walked on the side of the sewage.

Coming out of the passage leading directly to the underground of the Bai family's courtyard, Ma Yuhui's face was already filled with a bright smile...... The thousand-year-old Golden Cordyceps has finally arrived, and there is already hope for him to break through to the Heaven Killing Mirror!

For ordinary people, a thousand-year-old golden cordyceps can only have the effect of allowing them to break through from the ninth level of the Gangji Realm to the first level of the Heaven Killing Mirror, after all, the medicinal power is limited, and the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps is not omnipotent.

But for Ma Yuhui, this thousand-year-old golden cordyceps tree was enough for him to break through the triple level from the seventh level of the Gang Extreme Realm, and directly enter the first level of the Heaven Killing Mirror! Because Ma Yuhui has agarwood dragon wood, he can absorb nearly half more of the medicinal power of the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps than others!

"Qiu Zhizhan, you wait!" Thinking of the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps contained in the black schoolbag, Ma Yuhui subconsciously looked up at the hazy and shiny yin manhole cover above, and a flash of color flashed on his face!

At about seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and Ma Yuhui, who had walked nearly three kilometers along the underground sewage channel, finally found a relatively hidden place, this manhole cover was located in the alley behind a building, and no one walked around here.

After waiting for half an hour in the dark, damp and foul-smelling underground sewage channel, and confirming that there were no people on the surface, Ma Yuhui climbed up the rusty iron ladder, reached out and pushed open the manhole cover, and then popped out his head and scanned the surface.

"Finally come out......" put his feet on the solid ground, moved the manhole cover back to its original place, and Ma Yuhui, who was dirty all over his body, showed a heartfelt smile, although this treasure theft operation is very similar to a ground mouse burrowing, but anyway, it finally came out, isn't it?

The thousand-year-old golden cordyceps is packed in a black schoolbag, and Ma Yuhui's biggest purpose of coming to the Central Political Region has been successfully achieved, and it is time to leave...... "I hope the Lu family hasn't had time to completely lock it down." Thinking of leaving, Ma Yuhui couldn't help but think of the old lady of the Lu family, after all, he was a powerhouse of the third level of the Heaven Killing Mirror, even if Ma Yuhui broke through to the first level of the Heaven Killing Mirror, I am afraid that he would not be the opponent of others.

Although he was quite angry at the Lu family's unrelenting pursuit, when it was time to keep his sanity, Ma Yuhui would not be easily swayed by his inner impulses.

Raising his head to look at the crescent-shaped moon in the sky, Ma Yuhui straightened the collar of his dirty school uniform and quickly left the alley at night.

The only hope he had now was that the Lu family hadn't had time to make a comprehensive arrangement, and he could still find a way to leave the Central Political Region without realizing it.

After all, the entire central political region has a large population and borders the four major political regions of the northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest, and it is not easy to achieve a complete lockdown.

If you calculate the time, I'm afraid the Lu family is still in the process of arranging now, right?

With such a thought in his heart, Ma Yuhui quickly disappeared into this alley, being highly vigilant along the way, reducing the possibility of being discovered as much as possible, and picking a small path to walk.

When Ma Yuhui left the downtown area of Beitong City, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and Ma Yuhui, who had changed into clean clothes, didn't even find a stream to wash his body, and embarked on the road back to the Evolutionary Academy with a black schoolbag on his back.

Ma Yuhui was racing against time, he knew that he had to leave the Central Political Region before the Lu family's pursuers found him, otherwise, once the Lu family made arrangements and started a large-scale investigation...... I'm afraid that's just as the two old men said that day, he Ma Yuhui can't escape.

Lu Yuanheng alone can take his Ma Yuhui's life, and it is still the kind that is effortless.

Therefore, Ma Yuhui could not stay, he could only leave as soon as possible.

That night, when the Lu family was still in the layout of the Central Political Region, Ma Yuhui, who had already heard the news, had already obtained the thousand-year-old Cordyceps and rushed away in the direction where the Northeast Political Region was located......
