Just two days later.

Silent late night.

Chen Li and Zhou Hong were once again awakened by the terrible screams outside.

In the dark, the two of them opened their eyes wide and did not speak, but clasped their hands with each other, quietly listening to the situation outside, and after a long while, they waited until the movement outside completely disappeared before they relaxed again.

"Do you think it could be the second-order demon beast from a few days ago?" Zhou Hongdao.

"It should be!" Chen Li said, paused and said: "We can't go on like this, we can only wait for death like this, the poison may not be useful, even if it is useful, the period before the attack is enough to kill us." ”

Now it's snowing outside, it's almost up to your chest, and the road is difficult, and you can't run away if you want to run when you encounter a monster.

"What then?" Zhou Hong sat in Chen Li's arms and asked.

"I want to think about it, I want to think about it......" Chen Li muttered.

But what can I do for a while?

If you go to the forest, it is better to stay here safely.

The market was closed, and the shops were gone long before the heavy snowfall.

At this time, Chen Li's heart moved, and said: "If you dig a hole in the ground, as long as you dig deeper, even if the demon beast finds here, it will not be able to escape." ”

"I think so!"

……

Immediately, the two of them were no longer sleepy.

Just do it.

The frozen soil in the bedroom was directly cut by the ritual utensils, and there was no dustpan to transport the soil, so the wooden basin at home was used instead.

The two were busy.

By the time it was dawn outside, a pit had been dug out that was a meter wide and three meters deep, but this depth was not enough at all, and for the demon beast, it might just be a matter of probing claws.

After breakfast, the two continued to be busy.

The further down the hole went, the more difficult it was to dig, and some ropes and other tools were made during the process.

In this way, the two worked without sleep for three days and three nights.

The soil was piled up on several hills in the yard, and the hole was barely dug up.

The whole cave is 1.5 meters wide and more than 10 meters deep, and a small space of about 5 square meters is opened up at the bottom of the cave for refuge, and the cave enters and exits completely by a rope woven with rattan grass.

In an emergency, you can even jump straight down.

There are dry grass branches up to half a meter thick underneath, and even if you jump, you will break your bones at the worst.

Compared to dying, this injury is not worth mentioning at all.

"It's pretty warm in here." Chen Li patted the wall of the underground space, and felt a strong sense of security and accomplishment in his heart: "It's just that the air is a little cloudy, but for the sake of safety, I still sleep here at night." ”

The soil here belongs to the kind of cohesive soil, which is very clayey, has poor permeability, and is not easy to collapse.

"Well, I think I need to put a little bit of food in the food, and if I get stuck, I can hold on for a few more days." Zhou Hong's face was stained with muddy water, tired and haggard with a deep joy.

"That's right...... Tired these days, right? Chen Li went over and grabbed her waist.

These days, in addition to eating and drinking, the two have not stopped for a moment, Chen Li has not rested, she has not rested either, Chen Li is strong and can still hold on, but she is strong and self-sufficient.

"I'll just take a hand, you're doing all the hard work!" Zhou Hong was buried in Chen Li's arms, with a thick nasal voice.

The two got tired of the meeting, talked some private words, and continued with the last busy work.

Night.

A good night's sleep.

When Chen Li woke up, looking at the dark underground space, he felt relaxed, and the uneasiness that had accumulated in his heart these days was also swept away.

……

More than a month passed quickly.

The cold winter is still going on outside, and in the face of severe cold and hunger, more and more desperate monsters are forced to get out of the forest and set their sights on the shantytowns.

Some weak demon beasts will naturally inevitably be killed.

But the more powerful monsters are at home here.

It's like discovering a huge granary.

Whenever you are hungry, you rush here.

Most of the killings took place late at night, sometimes even during the day, and in a month or so, there were nine killings in the immediate vicinity alone.

The most recent one was only 100 meters away from Chen Li's house.

Chen Li had already decided in his heart that when the snow melted in the spring of next year, he discussed with Zhou Hong to leave this market.

There is no protection from the sect.

There is no strong man to support him.

This fang city has become more and more dangerous, and it may have been due to the long-standing deterrence of the Immortal Sect, and no demon beast dared to approach, but in this cold winter, everything was exposed.

You don't have to think about it, you don't know, even if the snow melts, these monsters won't leave.

After all, who would give up a granary.

……

"Whew!"

"It's finally the fifth layer of Qi training!"

Chen Li exhaled a breath of turbidity, slowly pressed down with his hands, and opened his eyes with a hint of joy on his face.

After the proficiency of the Immortal Gong was advanced to the master level, the exercises were more suitable for themselves, and the cultivation speed was faintly accelerated, from the last time they broke through the fourth layer to the present, it was only four months of hard work, and the cultivation broke through to the fifth level of qi training.

It was only when his passionate mood gradually subsided.

He began to think carefully about the next plan and enrich his strength as soon as possible.

In this world, there is really no sense of security at all.

"There are no spells on hand on the fourth layer of Qi training for the time being, but there is a 'traction technique' that integrates attack and defense on the fifth layer of Qi training...... In addition, you can also learn to make 'light talismans'. Chen Li said secretly in his heart.

Traction is a telekinesis-like manipulative spell.

Attack can crush flesh and blood, and prevent interference with magic weapons.

But as a first-order intermediate spell.

The difficulty of its own is also prohibitive, the spell alone has three syllables, and it has to cooperate with the hand, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to practice, and you have to prepare to leave here at the beginning of spring, and you don't know what danger there will be on the way?

……

Chen Li's good fortune didn't last.

That same evening.

A huge demon beast foraged all the way, came here, and soon walked to the location of Chen Li's house, with a loud click, the house collapsed instantly, and the demon beast followed the smell and found the entrance to the cave.

in underground space.

Chen Li pinched the flying sword in his hand, held his breath and remained motionless, and behind him was Zhou Hong, who was also on guard.

"Gollum!"

"Gollum!"

The sound of the demon beast's breathing like a bellows sounded in his ears.

Chen Li could even feel a fierce warm breeze mixed with a foul smell blowing across his cheeks.

"Roar!"

The demon beast snorted irritably and roared.

Sonic booms.

Immediately.

A large amount of mud fell from above.

"Not good!" Chen Li chuckled in his heart.

It's digging holes.

He couldn't hold it anymore and stepped out of the underground space.

The flying sword flew out of his hand, bursting out with sharp sword rays, and shot straight into the cave like lightning along the passage, grazing the face of the demon beast, leaving a tiny bloody hole.

"Whew!"

The demon beast was furious in an instant.

The next moment, a giant claw wrapped in misty spiritual power slammed into the hole.
