Chapter 219: The Long Escape
Lin Yun began to upgrade because of his spark, and the speed of melting the steel plate was significantly accelerated, but it took nearly nine months to completely melt this steel plate into a hole that could allow him to enter the Xiliang River.
Originally, Lin Yun expected that it would be about half a year when the Starfire was not upgraded, but now it seems that he is really overestimating himself, if his Starfire has not been upgraded now, it is estimated that he will spend more than a year, and he may not be able to dissolve the steel plate here.
The icy river water hugged Lin Yun the moment he dissolved the iron hole, although it was still cold to the bone, but it had no effect on Lin Yun. Lin Yun has been here for nearly a year, and it has been eleven months before and after, and he has long been accustomed to the cold and icy river here.
Even now, if I drink a few glasses of this water in a row, my stomach is only slightly frozen, and I definitely don't have that feeling of being hot through my intestines.
Originally, Lin Yun was still a little anxious in the first month or two, except for Xinghuo, there was no progress in cultivation. But then it became more and more calm, and the cultivation has improved somewhat. It's just that he was anxious later, and estimated that it had been a year since he came here, and if he couldn't get out for a long time, how sad it would be if Yu Xi couldn't wait for him.
Fortunately, after such a long time, he finally opened up the steel plate, and he was trapped here for a year without seeing the sun, except for the purple fire and the ability to resist the cold, the cultivation was still in the early stage of one star, and it can be said that he almost didn't move much.
This small iron house, Lin Yun has already carefully inspected all sides of it after a year, and it can be said that there is nothing except the six-sided steel plate and the three words 'Xiliangjiang' on the ground.
After eating two cold ice fish, Lin Yun didn't want to stay in this ghost place anymore, and dived into the Xiliang River without hesitation. Although he had been prepared for a long time and had been by this river for a year, Lin Yun was still a little unaccustomed to it. Such a cold river surrounded his whole body, so that he had to use star power to resist, but fortunately, there was not much star power used, and he could replenish it at any time.
Now Lin Yun just hopes that the junction between the Xiliang River and the outside is not very far, and it is best that there is nothing to block it. Otherwise, it is not necessarily good for you to soak too long in this river water, with your current cultivation, you can persist for about six months without eating or drinking and breathing inside, but it is difficult to say in this cold river water, I just hope to go out as soon as possible.
Lin Yun went down the river, only to find that the inside of the river was not very big, but it was very deep, and he had been exploring dozens of meters and still hadn't reached the end. Moreover, the further down this got, the more cold Lin Yun felt to his bones. For a while, I didn't want to do this meaningless thing anymore, but directly looked for a way out.
A few hours later, Lin Yun finally discovered that the Xiliang River was actually like a long intestine, winding and long. Is this what it means to be 'disemboweled?' ’。
This winding passage was surrounded by steel-like stone walls on all sides, and Lin Yun could say that he had seen countless stones, and the stones here should be the hardest. I don't know how thick this stone wall is, but there is no other way to go but to follow this winding stone cave.
Lin Yun put his hands in front of him, protected his head, and quickly swam forward. From time to time, all kinds of fish bumped into Lin Yun's body, but fortunately, there were no particularly big fish here, and Lin Yun was not injured.
But after five days, Lin Yun was a little strange, he thought that in a day or two at most, he would be able to swim from this channel to the river that connects with the Xiliang River, and then come out.
But for five days, Lin Yun didn't know how far he had swam, but it was still a quiet underwater passage, or it was still in the Xiliang River.
The stone walls on both sides were as hard as they were, and Lin Yun tried to dig them, and he knew that he would never be able to pass past this stone wall, so he could only continue to swim forward. But fortunately, there are few forks in this winding passage, just a zigzag one. Even if there are occasionally one or two forks in the road, Lin Yun will soon come to an end when he goes in to take a look, so Lin Yun simply ignores the fork in the side and swims directly along this passage.
Half a month later, Lin Yun still didn't find any signs of the end, and at the same time, he felt that the direction he was moving in seemed to be getting lower and lower. But I've come here, there's no turning back, even if I go back, I'm just staying in the iron cage and can't get out, so it's better to keep going.
It is estimated that it has been a month, Lin Yun has already calmed down, anyway, this is the matter, if he really wants to die here, it is his own life, Qingqing is estimated to not be able to see it, but it is a pity that he was not able to see Yu Xi.
After soaking in the cold water on the ground for such a long time, Lin Yun had long since adapted to the cold river water, and he was not even afraid to use his star power. But this passage should be quite safe, otherwise it would be impossible for me to walk for so long without encountering any danger.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Yun felt a huge force rushing towards his head, Lin Yun was shocked, what is this? It's so fierce? I thought there were no fierce fish here, but here I am.
Lin Yun didn't hesitate to move to the side, and at the same time, with a push of star power in his left hand, the guy who rushed to Lin Yun's head was suddenly knocked aside by Lin Yun, and he actually ignored Lin Yun anymore, but brought a wave of water and disappeared.
That's a fast speed, huh? What is this, the speed is so fast, I used a little bit of strength to push it just now, but I didn't take him yet? If this place is more empty, come to such a large group of these things to besiege you, where will you run?
Thinking of this, Lin Yun sped up again, but he didn't expect that the place behind this was a little more open, and there were more and more fish with this huge impact. Lin Yun had been attacked several times, but fortunately, they had not united, and if they did, Lin Yun estimated that he would be more than lucky.
This thing is more than a meter long, extremely powerful, amazingly fast, and the skin is thick and rough, I don't know what kind of strange fish it is, Lin Yun really has no way to take them. These things are usually attacked and left immediately.
Lin Yun tried to avoid them as much as possible, but the further he went, the more he encountered, and the speed was extremely fast. What Lin Yun was most worried about now was that these strange fish would unite against him, and then he would be miserable.
This thing is so fast, I don't know what it would be like if I grabbed one end and rode on its back. If this is possible, then there is no need to continue to exert yourself in this water, and even walk faster than you can in this water.
Lin Yun felt the movement of the water, after another strange fish rushed to his side. Lin Yun rushed forward without hesitation, and rode on the back of this strange fish at once, while controlling the fish tightly with both hands and legs.
Sure enough, the fish was frightened, and immediately rushed forward like an arrow off the string, almost throwing Lin Yun down. Sure enough, the speed was extremely fast, ten times faster than the speed at which I used to walk in the water. Lin Yun was secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart that it was okay now, he didn't have to exert any strength at all, and found a substitute for free.
As long as you use your hands, you can make this fish dare not turn around, this fish is really good, it actually swims so fast in the water. In a few days, Lin Yun estimated that this was more than the distance he had traveled in half a month. But the fish seemed to be slowing down, probably too tired.
However, there are many such fish in this, and Lin Yun immediately changed another one, and in this way, Lin Yun walked faster and faster in this passage. But this passage seems to be incomparably long, and after walking for nearly a month, it still does not come to the end. Lin Yun was shocked in his heart, how long is this tortuous passage, if he doesn't find this fish, he won't be able to walk out for half a year.
Lin Yun got down this kind of fish, but found that the stone walls on the four sides were no longer very hard, but he tried it a little, but he didn't know how thick it was. I wanted to see if I could get through from above, but I thought that if I couldn't get through in a short time, then I would delay the time to move on.
But if he can't get out of this for only five months, Lin Yun probably won't be able to hold on, and his cultivation can only let him last in this water for five months at most, and if he does more, it will be life-threatening. It's been almost three months now, and he's really a little worried. In the end, I decided to move on, at least to travel, and not to spend my own effort.
However, after walking on the back of this fish for so long, I also understand why this fish walks so fast, relying entirely on its strong and powerful tail, making this fish simply the king of speed in the water. Lin Yun even wondered if if there was no fish riding now, would it be very fast for him to use his legs as tails through the skills he had learned from the fish.
But he's sure it's not as fast as this strange fish, and it's definitely much faster than he used to.
But now that I've been riding this fish for almost four months, but there's no sign of going out at all, do I really want to suffocate in this passage?
Fortunately, after several months of walking in this passage, Lin Yun has become accustomed to the cold ice in it. However, thinking of this, Lin Yun realized that the water here was no longer as cold as before, and he hadn't seen this strange fish for a long time now.
Is this approaching the way out?
Finally, when the fish he was riding was too tired to walk, Lin Yun let go of it, there was no fish, he was now relying on his own feet, it was really much faster than before, it seemed that what this strange fish had learned was really good.
A few days later, Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that the passage around him was gone, and he didn't know when he came out. But he didn't want to go back and check it again, and the water around him seemed a little salty.
Lin Yun knew that this place might have come out, but he didn't know it in the depths of the water, and he immediately went up excitedly when he thought of this. Sure enough, the more you go up, the less pressure you have. This should be a deep water place, and I don't care if I have a star of cultivation, it is estimated that if there is no person with this kind of cultivation of myself, he must be crushed to death by the water pressure.
With Lin Yun rising at such a fast speed, it was also a long time before he surfaced.
He took a long breath, which was simply a treat for Lin Yun, who hadn't breathed air for months, and had only used internal breathing. Looking at the skin and hands on his body, they have become white because of long-term immersion in water, and even have a kind of rust.
On all sides, there is an endless ocean, and there are no ships or islands.
