Chapter 32: Discovering the Evil Lair [Part II]
"Yang Ji, you don't think their lair will be here, right?"
Zhao Hua seemed to have thought of something, and said with a look of surprise.
"Hmm. β
Yang Ji looked ahead and nodded vigorously, his expression was unprecedentedly serious:
"I can't really think of where they're hiding other than here. β
Yang Ji added a sentence in his heart: "They must be, and they can only hide here!"
The Boat can't penetrate rock, but solid rock formations are essential for building underground dens and garrisons.
Because the earth can't withstand the cavern structure underground, but the rock can.
β...... And it's the only place I haven't explored. β
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.
Zhao opened his mouth, and stopped talking. He didn't know where Yang Ji got this confidence. In Zhao Hua's opinion, Yang Ji's information has actually been proven wrong, but because of his relationship with Su Hong, he is just unwilling in his heart.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhao Hua only asked.
Yang Ji was silent, guessing is one thing. But it is really another thing to confirm. Faced with such a huge underground rock mass that is tens of thousands of zhang high, Yang Ji didn't know how to do it for a while.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, with a soft sound, a silky black shadow flew out from Yang Ji's wrist. Only one flickered, and immediately jumped out of the light area of the "Earth Boat" and disappeared without a trace.
"It's ......"
This sudden change surprised Zhao Slip, and his eyes focused on Yang Ji.
"Xiao Ji?"
A look of surprise flashed in Yang Ji's eyes. Not only Zhao Hua, but Xiao Ji's sudden move surprised even him.
"Senior Brother Zhao, wait a minute. β
Yang Ji said suddenly. He didn't explain why, just stood in the bow of the ship. Let the "Earth Boat" stop in front of the rock mass.
Zhao Hua's eyes flashed with a strange look, but he didn't say anything, and stood behind silently.
"Xiao Ji" went fast and came quickly.
In the blink of an eye, with a whoosh, it came out of the rock mass. It fell into the area of the "Earth Boat" and wrapped around Yang Ji's hand.
"Sizzle!"
"Xiao Ji" raised his head excitedly and made a sound.
When they saw what was in its mouth, both of them were taken aback. It was a piece of "cloth" that I didn't know which part of the cloth Xiao Ji tore from.
The color of the rag was still fresh, apparently torn from the person.
"Phew!"
Zhao Slip gasped and instantly understood something: "There are people in this rock!"
The rocky area is the only one they haven't explored. Because the surface of the rock is flat, full of wild grass, and there is no hiding person at all.
The two searched underground. This subterranean rock formation has never been searched.
However, some people thought that the lair of those evil masters was actually in such an "inconspicuous" place.
"Yang Ji, you pet is really a great achievement. β
Zhao Hua said deeply.
"If something is abnormal, there must be a demon", although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Hua was almost certain that the evil masters they were looking for were in this huge rock formation in front of them.
"Yang Ji, it's okay. Let's go up and inform Senior Sister Lin now. β
Zhao slide.
At this point, the task of the two is basically completed. There is no need to stay at the bottom anymore.
"Wait. β
Yang Ji stopped Zhao Hua. He held back the excitement in his heart.
His guess was not wrong, and neither was the information he received. Xiao Ji's discovery undoubtedly confirmed all his previous claims.
"Xiao Ji. Thank you. β
Yang Ji touched Xiao Ji's head and said excitedly in his heart. Xiao Ji did him a great favor, and he was now almost certain that if Xiao Hong was still alive, he must have been taken into this rock formation.
"Senior Brother Zhao, we're just making sure that there are people in the rock mass now. I don't know what people, how many people, what kind of structure layout. β
Yang Ji rubbed his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly:
"And. If the lair of those evil martial artists is really here. We are searching and digging up on it, and we are likely to startle them and alarm them. β
Zhao Hua remembered the flat terrain on the surface, and his face changed slightly. I have to think seriously about Yang Ji's words. Indeed, there is simply no shelter on the ground compared to underground.
If they act rashly, they will only alarm the attention of those evil masters. even alarmed those Liang right envoys.
"Yang Ji, what do you mean?"
Zhao slide. This translation undoubtedly agreed with Yang Ji's decision.
"Xiao Ji can get in, there must be some holes here. Moreover, the underground is hidden, and at the same time, the structure of the rock mass cannot even be entered by the boat. They must not have imagined that they would enter here. β
Yang Jidao, his eyes flashed with wisdom.
"And what do you want to do?"
Zhao slide. He had already vaguely guessed Yang Ji's thoughts in his heart, but he still couldn't believe that Yang Ji's plan would be so bold.
"Haha, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Zhao, at this point. β
Yang Ji smiled, and suddenly pulled out the "Guquan Sword" on his body with a bang. In this dimly lit environment, the light of the Ancient Spring Sword was very dazzling.
The Guquan sword blows the hair and breaks the hair, sharpens the iron like mud, and is extremely sharp. In this kind of underground, breaking through the rock formations is the best tool.
"Senior Brother Zhao, please take control of the boat for me. Let's go from here and find out what is in it. Then I sent a message to Senior Sister SΓΉ Lin again. β
Zhao Hua couldn't admire Yang Ji's whimsical and crazy ideas at this time. From the depths of the earth, forcibly breaking through the rock formations and forcing your way in, this is truly the idea of a madman and a genius.
"Yes!"
Zhao Hua didn't hesitate much, and simply said neatly:
"You concentrate on digging the rock formations in front of you. I'll take care of the rest!"
Yang Ji nodded, and then flicked his sleeves, bang, five swords broke through the air, straight into the dense rock.
For the first time, Yang Ji used the "Immortal Back Sword" to dig a passage in the underground rock mass.
"Up!"
Yang Ji pointed his finger, and the five Guquan swords immediately turned like gears. The power of this famous sword from the land of sword forging is now revealed.
Countless stone dust and gravel roared out, all of which were put away by Yang Ji's shaking sleeves and sprinkled into the surrounding rock formations. The density of the soil is very loose. There is no change at all in the embedded stone powder, gravel.
Stone powder and gravel flew out one after another, and the hard rock in front of Yang Ji and others continued to "melt". Under the guidance of "Xiao Ji", Yang Ji and Zhao Hua joined forces to forcibly open a dark passage in the underground rock formation......
Time passed slowly in this boring excavation, and the two of them had completely forgotten the time. I don't know how long it took, and all of a sudden...
"Poof!"
There was a soft thud. It was very abrupt in the silent underground, as if Yang Ji's Guquan sword tip had pierced something.
"Be careful!"
Both of them froze there at the same time, motionless. No one knows what's going on in the cave, let alone whether the tip of the sword has stabbed someone.
If the attention of the people in the cave is aroused, then the hard work of the two will be completely in vain.
It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time had passed, and the expected restlessness did not come.
"No one!"
Yang Ji sighed, and then swung his sword to cut the last layer of rock mass in front of him.
A circle of bright light penetrated through the "hole" cut out. There was silence in the dark passages. A bright light hit both of them, and both of them were a little surprised.
"Looks like they've been here for quite a long time, and everything is pretty good. β
Zhao Hua looked at Yang Ji and said softly.
Where there is light, it means that you are ready to live for a long time. Obviously, those evil path disciples have been preparing for this place for more than a day or two.
"Hmm. Senior Brother Zhao, please take care of me for a while. Try not to alarm them until you get to the bottom of them. β
Yang Ji said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. I know what to do. β
Zhao Hua waved his hand.
Yang Ji nodded. The two listened for a while, and there were bursts of footsteps in the distance from the entrance of the faint cave. There was a whisper of a person, but it was a little far away, and it didn't seem to be here.
Yang Ji bent down, lowered his head, gently leaned to the mouth of the cave, and looked inside.
"How?"
Zhao Hua patted Yang Ji on the back. Curious.
"The lights were bright and they dug big passages underground. But I didn't see a human figure, huh...... , they even dug an underground river. β
Yang Ji looked ahead in surprise, not far from the hole he had dug. In the bright light, an underground dark river flowed past, the river water was very clear, and what was even more surprising was that Yang Ji also saw some schools of fish with narrow and long bodies and cyan backs.
"It's a fish from an underground river. β
Yang Ji's eyes blinked, slightly surprised. He had read in some books on alien ideas, and many underground rivers were connected to some rivers.
With the help of the living water and air sent by the river, as well as the minerals in the underground dark river, these dark rivers are very inhabited by some special schools of fish.
These fish have lost their visual function due to their long-term exposure to darkness. But because of this, the meat is delicious.
However, although Yang Ji knew, it was the first time he had really seen it.
"Let's go! β
Yang Ji held the sword in his right hand and swung it hard, and the originally narrow hole immediately expanded in a circle. As soon as his body was vertical, Yang Ji's body immediately jumped over like a live fish.
Behind him, Zhao Hua concocted the same method and drilled out.
Both of them moved very lightly, and after they came out, they didn't alarm anyone.
When Zhao slipped out, Yang Ji cut another brown rock and blocked the entrance of the cave.
"Hopefully it won't be discovered by them. β
Yang Ji glanced at it and said secretly in his heart. It is not safe to just block the entrance of the cave with a rock slab, and if it is discovered, the two of them are cut off from retreating, and I am afraid it will be a bloody battle.
However, Yang Ji has no better way.
"There's an underground river here, and it's on the edge, and the lights aren't too bright. If you don't have a heart, you shouldn't be able to find it. β
Yang Ji glanced at it, and could only comfort himself, even if these evil Dao disciples found out, they would not be so fast, it should be enough to prevent himself and Zhao Hua from escaping.
"Let's go!"
The two of them stood on the edge of the brown cave wall, and in front of them was the clear dark river. Yang Ji pulled up Zhao Slip, and with a slight vertical, he quietly waded through this dark river. (To be continued......)
