Chapter 54: The plan fails

"Three...... There are at least three ......"

Being in the soil, Ding Ye recalled the beast roar he had heard just now and made a judgment. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

He had just heard three different beast roars, proving that there were at least three demon beasts in the cave, and even if not each of them was as strong as the silver-haired demon ape, eighty percent of them were not much weaker.

"Sure enough, with my current cultivation, it's impossible to break through. It's not good to move the tiger away from the mountain, there are too many of them. In addition, what to take to transfer the tiger away from the mountain is also a problem. ”

After roughly knowing the number of demon beasts in the cave, Ding Ye completely gave up all other thoughts, moved his body, and dived in the direction of the cave in the soil.

This earth escape talisman, after he retreated yesterday, he tried to use it once.

After attaching the earth escape charm and inputting spiritual power to stimulate it, the soil is like turning into water to him, and he can move freely.

It's just that it's hard to breathe in the soil.

But with his current cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, holding his breath for half an hour was not a problem, so this point did not affect him much.

On the contrary, there is another thing that has a great impact on him, and that is that in the soil, he cannot discern the direction.

Because he has no sense.

However, before that, Ding Ye had already seen the direction of progress, as long as he estimated that he would come out again, the deviation should not be very large.

Walking in the soil was a very novel experience for Ding Ye, but he didn't have the leisure to feel it carefully, because this earth escape talisman was worn out when it was used.

Suddenly, there was a "bang".

Ding Ye secretly screamed in pain, touched his forehead, and stretched out his hand to touch the front, suddenly a little dumbfounded.

This...... Earth Escape Charm can't penetrate rocks?!

"It shouldn't be......" Ding Ye bared his teeth and said secretly, "Is the word 'soil' in the earth escape charm mean earth? No, no matter how you think about it, it should be the 'earth' of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is a kind of five element spells!"

As he thought about it, he moved down to either side, touching it, only to find that it was all hard rock.

Apparently, he's hit a rocky mountain now.

Any high mountain, the main body is rocky, it cannot be dirt.

Because the soil is easily eroded or collapsed by rainwater, at most it can only form small hills.

Many of the mountains look like dirt on the outside, but they are just a layer of soil created by weathering, covering the outside, some thick and some thin, but the inside of the mountain is full of rocks.

Ding Ye's goal is naturally not a small hill.

The cave was located on a steep cliff hundreds of meters high, and its surface was not even covered with a layer of soil, which had been washed away by the rain.

Before that, he didn't think about it so much, and naturally thought that the word "soil" in this earth escape talisman was the "soil" in the five elements, which was a kind of five-element spell.

"No! This must be a five-element spell. Ding Ye frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and increased the output of spiritual power into the earth escape talisman.

On the rune paper, the light of the runes was even more dazzling.

And when his body touched the rock, he suddenly felt like he was touching the dirt, and he felt that he could walk through it.

As soon as his body moved, Ding Ye squeezed it in.

This time, instead of hitting the wall as before, we entered the rocky mountain without any problems.

It's just that it's much more difficult to walk through rocks than in dirt.

Even so, Ding Ye still breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, this is a five-element spell. After all, rocks also belong to the soil system. It's a lot more difficult to act, but it's okay to move. ”

He was about to continue moving forward, but he suddenly stopped, looked at the earth escape charm attached to his body, and his face became a little ugly.

The Earth Escape Charm is not something that can be used indefinitely.

Although it is driven by Ding Ye's input of spiritual power, it will cause wear and tear every time it is used.

The runes drawn on the rune paper will slowly fade and blur.

And at this moment, although the light emitted by the earth escape talisman attached to Ding Ye's body was even stronger, through this light, it could be found that the loss rate of the runes on it had suddenly increased by more than ten times!

Although he didn't know how deep the cave was and how far away he was from his destination, it was obvious that if it went on like this, this earth escape talisman would not be able to support it far.

After a slight estimate in his mind, Ding Ye retreated from the rocky mountain without hesitation.

After withdrawing, he hurriedly reduced his spiritual power output.

Suddenly, the attrition rate of the Earth Escape Talisman returned to normal again.

"Although this earth escape charm is of good grade, it is not enough at all. Looking at the mountain in front of him, which was completely made of rocks, Ding Ye was a little worried, "If you count the time of the return trip, you have to prepare at least four or five to be safe." If you add in the time you are looking for, it will be a little more. ”

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the two people he killed were really a little naΓ―ve, and the preparation was completely insufficient.

However, it is estimated that this earth escape talisman will not be very cheap, otherwise the two of them will definitely buy more.

After thinking about it, Ding Ye tried to dive down again, but found that as he continued to dive, the difficulty of advancing began to slowly increase, and the loss rate of the earth escape talisman also accelerated.

In addition, he soon encountered the rock again.

That's the layer of rock under the surface soil layer.

On Earth, the average thickness of the surface soil layer, the pedosphere, is 5 meters, and here, after about twenty or thirty meters of dive, the lichen finally touches the rock layer below.

Reaching out to touch the side, Ding Ye sighed and began to dive.

He found that the mountain was still made of rocks.

Although this is a normal phenomenon, he still has a hint of what ifs before confirming it himself.

But at this moment, the idea of "detouring from below and then diving" in case was also shattered.

Therefore, there is no need to sneak in the dirt anymore.

After diving into the more superficial soil layer, Ding Ye sneaked a long distance away from the cave, and only after feeling that it was almost enough, did he emerge from the soil and get out.

At the same time, he stopped instilling spiritual power into the earth escape talisman.

Picking up the earth escape talisman attached to his body, Ding Ye took a look at it and found that after such a toss, almost half of the talisman had been lost.

"Maybe those two people are like me before, thinking that sneaking through the rocks will be as difficult and attrition as sneaking through the dirt. Ding Ye shook his head.

Not to mention the huge gap between dirt and rock, even if it is the same dirt, the difficulty of travel and the speed of loss of the talisman are different.

The thicker and tighter the soil, the more difficult it is to travel and the faster the talisman will wear out.

This was discovered by him in the process of continuous diving.

Over the next few days, Ding Ye kept circling around the neighborhood to see if there were any shortcuts he could take, but the results disappointed him.

If you want to go in and find out, you can either go straight through the cave or prepare some more earth escape charms.

But using the earth escape charm to go in, in fact, is to grasp the advantage of "hiding in the shadows".

Because those demon beasts are entrenched there, it is likely that he will not be able to get out at all by then.

In this way, after observing for a few days, just as Ding Ye began to consider whether to wait until his cultivation was higher before coming back, someone suddenly found him.
