Chapter 172: Escape Underground
Although Long Xiaoyao has an acceleration effect, it can only accelerate flight, and the antelope leather boots can have an acceleration effect on his earth escape technique, coupled with his strong body and the ever-changing magic of fish, the speed of earth escape is very amazing.
However, Long Xiaoyao was only a Jindan Intermediate Rank Cultivator, but the elder who was chasing him was a Yuanying Intermediate Rank Cultivator. Although the Primal Infancy's Drifting Divine Power cannot be used underground, the Primal Infant Monks are the Primordial Infant Monks, and although their Earth Escape does not have the Drift Acceleration Divine Power, their speed has also increased greatly due to the effect of the Primal Infant.
Long Xiaoyao found that the Yuan Infant Monk had escaped underground to follow him, and he immediately escaped more than ten meters underground and sneaked away. Sneaking underground, the deeper you dive, the greater the consumption of physical strength and true qi.
Because Long Xiaoyao had a strong body that no immortal cultivator could match, although the pressure under the ground increased ten meters underground, he could still barely rely on the strength of his body to withstand this huge pressure, without consuming true qi. He fled with all his might underground, not daring to pause.
After the Yuanying monk escaped into the underground, he didn't dare to pause for a moment, knowing that the immortal cultivator's divine sense had a limited distance to explore underground, and he was also tracking according to the breath left by the dragon when he was free, and it was impossible to lock on to the target with his divine sense. And the aura of the dragon wandering away underground can only be left for a moment before it dissipates, and he can only track it before the aura dissipates, so as not to lose the target.
But don't talk about the Yuan Infant Stage Monks, even the bodies of the Ascension Stage Monks will be unable to withstand the pressure due to the pressure underground, and they can only resist the pressure of the earth with their True Qi. Especially when he went so deep into the ground, the monk not only had a serious consumption of true qi, but his physical strength was also constantly decreasing.
After chasing for more than ten miles, the Yuanying monk wondered that he had not narrowed the distance between him and the target, but if he did not use all his strength to track, he was afraid that he would be thrown off by the target in front of him.
He could confirm that the target ahead was the Jindan stage cultivation, no matter how Long Xiaoyao restrained his aura, he would also leave his own aura when he used his full strength to perform the Earth Escape Technique, an aura that could not be concealed.
He wondered how a Jindan Stage Immortal Cultivator could escape so fast ten meters underground? Even he, a Yuan Infant Stage Cultivator, felt that it was difficult to maintain this sneaking speed, he couldn't figure out why Long Xiaoyao could do it, the only guess was that Long Xiaoyao had some kind of magic weapon on his body that strengthened the Earth Escape Technique, or practiced some kind of magical Escape Technique.
After tracking underground for more than thirty miles, he was about to give up at one point. He could bear the consumption of true qi, but he could already feel the drain of his physical strength.
But he was not reconciled, he could see from the traces left by Long Xiaoyao's transplantation of medicinal herbs that there were at least more than twenty Yuan Spirit Grasses, not to mention that Long Xiaoyao was probably not only transplanted this medicinal herb, but also the Earth Escape Acceleration Magic Weapon that Long Xiaoyao might have, or the magical Earth Escape Technique, which made him reluctant to give up.
The reason why he is still insisting is that in addition to the huge benefits that can be foreseen, he also firmly believes that the Jindan period and the Yuan infant period are not the same at all. This is what he has personally experienced, he has also walked through the Jindan period to reach the Yuan Infant Stage, and he knows the insurmountable gap between the two best, he feels that the Jindan period is so small that it is not even worth his action to deal with.
He believes that Long Xiaoyao must be more uncomfortable than him, as long as he persists, in the end, Long Xiaoyao will definitely be really exhausted, and he has absolute confidence. This kind of confidence comes from the fact that he has experienced the Jindan period, and it also comes from the confidence in his own strength, although what he cultivates is not the top exercise in the immortal cultivation world, but it is also a ground-level exercise, and his strength is naturally not weak.
However, as the distance of the tracking reached tens of miles, his confidence had begun to waver. Although his true qi could still be maintained, his physical strength felt that it was difficult to sustain. Although it is protected by the True Qi of the Protective Body, the Earth Escape Technique needs to move forward on both legs, and it also has to fight against the resistance of the earth in the process.
The important reason why the Yuan Infant Stage Cultivators are faster than the Jindan Stage Cultivators is that the distance they take each step far exceeds that of the Jindan Stage Monks, which is a kind of magical power for the Immortal Cultivators, similar to the Earth Shrinking Technique, and they can advance several zhang with each step, even more than ten or dozens of zhang.
Of course, the distance traveled is directly proportional to the cultivation, and moreover, when an immortal cultivator walks underground, due to the huge resistance of the earth, the distance he advances will also drop significantly compared to the ground.
It was also impossible for Long Yao to take too far in one step, but his pace was not too low, and the frequency of his steps was not slower than running on the ground, so his speed was not only slow, but also fast.
But Long Xiaoyao was not easy at this time, in the ten meters deep underground, although he did not need to consume his true qi to resist the pressure of the earth because of his strong body, but he still needed to use his true qi to resist the resistance of the earth to advance quickly. Moreover, he also needed to perform the Earth Escape Technique, and his true qi and physical strength were constantly being consumed.
Although the Yuanying Monk who was chasing after him was still in hot pursuit, it was already difficult to maintain his original speed, he had chased nearly a hundred miles at this time, his true qi was almost exhausted, and his body was even more exhausted. He even began to doubt his own judgment, whether the person who fled in front of him was a Jindan stage cultivator?
Long Xiaoyao was no longer able to persevere, because his body had improved again when he healed himself, and he was completely relying on his strong body to resist the pressure of the earth without consuming his true qi. But Rao is like this, because he is moving at the limit speed, the resistance of the earth is also greater, and under this resistance, he consumes his true qi more severely, and his body is also exhausted by the pressure and resistance.
The fatigue of physical strength and the consumption of true qi made Long Yaoyao's escape speed gradually slow down. The Yuan Infant Cultivator, who had already planned to give up, could of course feel his speed slowing down, and from the aura he left behind when he was wandering underground, he could also find that his true qi was about to dry up.
Hope was rekindled, and the Yuanying Monk no longer wondered why a Jindan Stage Monk could persist in sneaking at high speed deep underground for so long, all he wanted to do now was to catch up and kill the target in front of him, and he believed that when the time came, he would be able to find out the reason as long as he searched Long Xiaoyao's body.
Long Xiaoyao really can't continue to hold on, however, he doesn't plan to continue to insist, if he persists any longer, as long as his true qi is exhausted and he has to drill out of the ground, facing a mid-level enemy of Yuan Ying, he will have no way to survive.
Long Xiaoyao decided to fight back, and he also clearly felt that the Yuanying Monk who was chasing after him was also exhausted, and he decided to take the opportunity to risk launching a melee attack to gain a chance to survive.
