Chapter Forty-Seven: Facing a Desperate Situation [Third Update]

"Senior brother, senior sister, don't worry. ”

Yang Ji stepped under his feet and stepped into the water from the hole in the ground. He took three steps and two steps, walked to the edge of the hall, and first pressed the "Wave Bead" into the water on the cave wall.

This outlet is positioned higher than the others, so the water flow is also the fastest. After Yang Ji blocked the "Wave Shelter Bead", the water in the entire cave wall was immediately blocked under the action of the "Wave Shelter Bead".

"This Yuan Jian is using this poison trick to block us alive underground. But he certainly didn't know I had a 'boat on me'. ”

Yang Ji's eyes are wise and his voice is calm, which has a soothing effect:

"The rock formations here are thick and dense. The excavation difficulty is several times more than before. But as long as we block the water outlet and breathe as hard as we can, we may not be able to escape before the air runs out. ”

"Senior brother, what do you want us to do?"

Everyone in the hall looked at Yang Ji in unison. At this time, Yang Ji's wisdom and calmness once again played a role in calming people's hearts.

"You can't block all the exits from the underground. The water pressure has been formed, and forcibly blocking it will only bring more water pressure, causing more damage and danger. ”

Yang Ji held his chin with one hand, thought for a while, and said:

"Senior Brother Pan, Senior Brother Tian, Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Hong (another senior brother of the Iron Crown Sect invited by Tian Junwen), please trouble a few of you to block the five water outlets on the ground. You don't have to block it all, you just need to slow down the inflow of the dark river. ”

"No problem!"

Pan Chen and the others nodded. This is just a trivial matter, the five people searched for it, and soon found five water outlets, and began to block them with blood gas.

The water in the stone chamber was knee-high. All five understood that this state of affairs would definitely not last long. The underground river water, under tremendous pressure from inside and outside, will eventually completely change the underground structure.

This way of changing is - "collapse"!

So even if there is enough air. There won't be much time left for everyone. Everyone's nerves crumbled.

"Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Lu, although I know that you are all tired, and your blood and qi are also consumed a lot. But for now, I hope you and I will work together to open a path to the surface. ”

Yang Jiyi pointed at Lin Qingyan and Lu Wudao.

Both are good at kendo, in this case. Punch strength is useless. Only by borrowing a sharp sword can you quickly dig a passage in the rock mass and make a way out.

"Well, what do you want us to do, you just say it. ”

Lin Qingyan nodded.

"I don't know the structure of the rock formations underground, and I don't know which direction it's going. In a moment, you'll have to sue me. ”

Lu Wu said seriously.

The underground rock structure has already caused great damage because of those evil path disciples and the underground dark river. Time is running out for everyone. If you want to escape as much as possible, you must choose the shortest and most direct path.

These can only be for Yang Ji to show the way.

There is still a way out for Lu Wu elsewhere, but when it comes to such specific and subtle places, there is really no way.

"Hmm. I know what to do. ”

Yang Ji nodded.

"Senior Brother Yang, what should we do?"

"How can we help?"

"Senior Brother Yang, just tell us. ”

......

Other sect disciples trapped underground also rushed over, their eyes full of deep worry.

"Don't panic, just try to be quiet. In addition, the river is rising. There is less and less air. Everyone uses the method of breathing to control the breathing as much as possible. Don't consume air too quickly. ”

Yang Ji stretched out his arms and said comfortingly.

Martial artists basically have the cultivation of "breathing ten stages", and the speed of air consumption is less than one-tenth of that of a normal person.

Originally, this underground air was completely sufficient.

But there are so many people trapped here. Not to mention the fact that many were injured. Don't look at it, I don't feel it when I breathe, I don't think I can consume much air.

But so many people are trapped underground. In fact, it is very fast to consume.

After pacifying everyone, Yang Ji, Lu Wu and Lin Qingyan stood side by side in the water and began to act.

"Boom!"

Yang Ji's right arm was raised, his five fingers were spread, and he raised it in the air. In the deafening sound of the sword. Several silver-white Guquan swords flew from the water, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

"It's a pity that I was taken away by the original stream. ”

Yang Ji looked at the three "Guquan Swords" in his palm and sighed in his heart. In order to deal with the original stream, Yang Ji hid his sword underwater and paraded like a fish.

In the end, although he was hit by a sword in the thigh of Yuan Jian, the sword was also taken away by him.

There was a rumbling in my ears, and the water of the underground river was still pouring in. These sounds are like a wake-up call to the situation we are facing.

Yang Ji took a deep breath, and the shape of the underground rock mass that he had "seen" under the search ground before came to his mind, and then blasted out with a sword.

"Boom!"

The light shone brightly, and the four magic swords produced by the famous sword casting place turned into white rainbows, and Qi Gen sank into the rock mass. The blood furnace in Yang Ji's body roared, and at the same time, the four "Guquan Swords" began to stir wildly in the rock body, and large pieces of rock fragments splashed out from it.

"Yang Ji, be careful of the dark river behind the rock mass. ”

Lin Qingyan reminded.

If you hit the underground river behind you when you dig the exit, it will really be a big trouble.

"Yes. ”

Yang Ji responded, and all his attention was on the four long swords.

"Boom!"

A loud rumbling sound came from the depths of the rock, and in just a few breaths, a dark hole that could only be used for one person appeared on the walls of the reddish-brown stone hall.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Ji's body was vertical, like a raccoon cat, and he instantly got into it and disappeared.

A hard feeling came from all around, and Yang Ji curled up, prostrate in the cave, his eyes looking ahead.

In this solid rock mass, there was not a single bit of light, the black hole in front of him, he couldn't see anything clearly, only the four Guquan swords emitted a faint silver light in front of him, indicating the direction.

"Whew!"

Yang Ji fumbled and took out the "Flame Avoidance Bead" from his arms, and a circle of blood-red light immediately emanated. In a blood-red glow. Thousands of jagged stone tips emerged from the darkness, each like the sharp tip of a knife.

"Xiao Ji, can you feel where the way out is?"

Yang Ji turned his head sideways, touched his sleeve, and said in a low voice.

"Xiao Ji" swooped out of Yang Ji's sleeve and straightened up. Spit out the letter and silently felt it in the air, but looking back at Yang Ji and shaking his head in disappointment, it couldn't feel any gaps.

Yang Ji was disappointed for a while, he originally hoped that Xiao Ji could find out something, after all, the rock structure where there are pores is more brittle, which can speed up the excavation.

But it's normal to think about it, it's deep underground, and the rock structure is a bit denser. It is not easy to make gaps.

"It seems that I can only rely on myself. ”

Yang Ji crawled in the cave and said secretly in his heart.

Time was pressing, Yang Ji took a deep breath, and the shape of the rock mass that he had sensed underground when searching for the "Evil Dao Lair" began to appear in his mind.

"That's all I have to try. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

Underground, especially in the dark, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact direction. Yang Ji was not sure that the path he chose was the shortest, so he could only fight his luck and take a risk.

"Boom!"

The next moment. Yang Ji stretched out his hands and closed his five fingers. The four Guquan Swords flew back upside down and fell into Yang Ji's hands, and after replenishing their energy, they shot back again, digging a passage in the rumbling underground rock formation.

A strong resistance came from the rock, and the progress of the four Guquan Swords digging in the rock mass was far from being as easy as imagined.

The rocks here are extremely dense. If it weren't for Yang Ji's "Guquan Sword" produced in the "Famous Place of Sword Casting", it would be difficult to dig in this rock formation at all.

In the face of the resistance from the rock formations, Yang Ji could only consume a large amount of blood qi and speed up the progress.

"The underground rock mass is basically cone-shaped. Narrow above, wide below. Therefore, a horizontal straight line is not the shortest. Only diagonally upwards can you get out of the rock formation area as quickly as possible. In addition, the slope-shaped passage can also allow the excavated rubble to drain down the passage. ”

Yang Ji's thoughts were spinning in his heart, and while echoing the "stone patterns, geology and geography" he had learned from the scriptures, he kept weighing the way out.

The shape of the rock mass is not irregular, with long protrusions in some places and deep depressions in others. This means that the same angle, in different directions, the road excavated from the rock formation can be long and short.

Time is limited, and Yang Ji must find the shortest way to leave before the air in the cave runs out.

"Drink!"

With a loud shout, the blood furnace in Yang Ji's body shook, and a stream of blood qi spurted out, blasting towards the diagonal upward like a mad dragon......

The cave was narrow and stuffy, and in just a while, Yang Ji was soaked all over, and half of his blood and qi were consumed, and he couldn't support it anymore.

Bang, Yang Ji slapped his palm under him, and immediately slid out of the passage with a canopy of gravel.

"Senior Brother Lu, it's your turn. ”

Yang Jidao.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Wu didn't think about it, and immediately plunged into the tunnel, and after a while, a rumbling sound immediately came from the tunnel.

The atmosphere in the underground hall was very tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Ji, Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingyan.

"Senior Brother Yang, it's been a hard work. I'm here to help you. ”

In a burst of water noise, Xu Ziyi waded through the water and walked to Yang Ji's side, and with a press of his palm, a strong blood qi immediately rushed into Yang Ji's body.

"Thank you. ”

With the help of this blood qi, Yang Ji's spirits perked up, and he immediately closed his eyes and breathed.

Time was pressing, and Yang Ji, Lin Qingyan, and Lu Wu took turns to enter. A large amount of rubble continued to slide down from above, falling into the stone hall.

Many sect disciples organized themselves and carried the gravel to the bottom of the torture chamber.

The speed at which the dark river water poured in was much faster than Yang Ji had imagined, and the rocks that kept falling above squeezed everyone's living space together.

In the entire hall, the pins could be heard, and everyone's hearts crumbled, as if waiting for the verdict of life and death.

No one knows how long it will last here. No one knows if everyone can hold on until the moment Yang Ji digs them through.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, sparks shot out, and in the darkness, the long sword seemed to have struck something, and a sound of gold and iron erupted.

"What's going on?"

Lu Wu was taken aback. This is the first time this has happened.

"Senior Brother Lu, what's wrong?"

Lin Qingyan's voice came out from below.

"I don't know. ”

Lu Wu shook and slashed out with his sword again. This time the same thing happened. The tip of the sword seemed to have encountered some strong resistance, and it made a crisp sound of gold and iron.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Ji and Lin Qingyan "swam" up from below at the same time.

"Senior Brother Lu, what's going on?"

Yang Ji asked.

"I don't know. ”

Lu Wu shook his head, a blank look in his eyes. The sword qi could not penetrate the rocks, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Soon, Lu Wu told him about the situation ahead.

Yang Ji was silent.

After a long time, Yang Jicai said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I'm afraid we have dug up the iron ore underground." ”

"What!"

Hearing Yang Ji's words, Lu Wu and Lin Qingyan were shocked.

The two are not as proficient in geology, topography, and geography as Yang Ji, but they still know what "iron ore" is.

In the depths of the earth, sometimes you will encounter huge iron ore veins, copper ore veins, and the like. This is not a stone, but a metal.

Iron ore is also divided into many types according to the quality of iron. Some iron ores are very sparse, and iron particles are scattered in the rocks, which are no different from rocks.

However, some iron ores, which contain other special impurities, are stronger than refined iron.

If Lu Wu's sword qi touched this kind of thing, it wouldn't be strange if it didn't wear it.

"How can this be? Those evil ways are all right underground, why do we encounter a big iron mine?"

Lin Qingyan lost her voice, and her dark face turned much paler.

Everyone had spent a lot of time in the rock formation, and Pan Chen and them had been flooded to their waists in the stone hall. At this time, it is impractical to re-dig a passage and adjust the direction.

If it is really like what Yang Ji said, there is a dense iron ore in front of it, and the sword qi cannot shoot through, then everyone trapped here is almost certain to die.

For a moment, there was a dead silence in the entire passage.

In the darkness, a deep despair permeated it, and Lu Wu and Lin Qingyan felt that the strength of their whole bodies had been emptied, and they had lost all their motivation. (To be continued......)
