Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 164 Tower 14
Although he spoke carelessly, Wei Xi's eyes flashed with the red and swollen chilblains on Ge Cang's hands.

Wei Xi's tone was slightly cold, "You are not a careless person, someone must have bullied you and locked you in the closet!"

"Friend Wei..." Ge Cang was about to cry, "What can I say when you ask these questions?"

After saying that, he took several breaths and his eyes rolled back a little.

Wei Xi pursed her lips. She was crawling backwards, so it was not easy for her to hide at this moment. Her heart was filled with sympathy but also with a little annoyance.

While Ge Cang is still useful, Wei Xi hopes to quickly leave the seventh level so that Ge Cang will not be eliminated.

However, Wei Xi glanced at Ge Cang. This person was both afraid of and attached to the Huaixin Sect, and had a weak character. If he wanted to pry her mouth open, he would probably have to think of other ways.

There was no extra space in the tunnel, and time became extremely long, as if it was being stretched longer by invisible hands, just waiting for the water to boil for a bowl of longevity noodles.

Fortunately, the tunnel gradually became wider, and the few people were finally able to turn over. Their breathing became much smoother, and the panic symptoms of the key focus person, Ge Cang, were also relieved a lot.

When they were able to turn around, Qin Feng again suggested trying to move the soil.

This time no one objected, and they exchanged positions, letting Qin Feng go to the end of the team.

Yun Qing contributed several thick animal bones from her Qiankun bag as support to prevent Qin Feng from being buried by the collapsed earth.

"I have some explosives here." Surprisingly, Feng Xiaotian took out a bag of black particles from his Qiankun bag. "This stuff is made from Dan Xiu Dan. It will explode when ignited. Remember to keep it away and cover your face."

Qin Feng originally wanted to use the Moving Technique, but since there was a way to save spiritual energy, why not do it?

After listening to the general idea, Wei Xi took out two bamboo joints as thick as arms from his Qiankun bag and pushed them to Qin Feng.

"Put those... things in there," Wei Xi advised his friend, "and then stick it in the soil."

This method can prevent the soil from wetting the explosives and can also break up as much soil as possible.

Unfortunately, Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie didn't know anything about construction, and it took them a lot of effort to support the animal bones in the tunnel ten feet away from the main force.

Then Qin Feng crawled half a meter with the bamboo joint stuffed with explosives, and stuffed the bamboo joint upright into the soil, leaving one of them slightly exposed, so that she could cast a spell and ignite it from a distance.

After retreating to the place where the animal bones were supported, Qin Feng activated his spiritual power and ignited the bamboo joints.

With a muffled sound, the soil above the tunnel was blown apart, and the soft soil fell down.

No one expected that this black thing would be so powerful.

Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie reacted quickly and retreated immediately.

The tunnel between the animal bones and the main force gradually lost some soil after they crawled back, but it was far away from the explosion point and did not collapse completely.

"...The uses of this thing need to be explored," Feng Xiaotian laughed dryly, "As long as it's useful, that's fine!"

After the soil layer stabilized, several people went to the explosion site to check the situation.

Leaving Ge Cang and Lian Gouqie on guard, the remaining four took turns digging up the collapsed soil.

When they arrived near the explosion point, Qin Feng and Feng Xiaotian took turns using the moving technique to move the soil above into the tunnel.

After working like this for a quarter of an hour, there was still no sign of digging through.

Several people in the tunnel already felt chest tightness and had to give up the idea of digging to the ground.

They started crawling again, and everyone was in a low mood.

The dark and narrow space amplified this emotion, and the tunnel was filled with depression and frustration.

The underground world is not like the world above ground, and the vast sea on the sixth floor is not that scary.

But the tunnel was covered with mud, and even this small space could be buried by tons of mud at any time. Some of the tiny people in it would be buried alive, while others would be crushed into a bloody mess.

This sense of predation gripped the heart of every crawler, making it hard to breathe. Wei Xi adjusted his breathing rhythm and tried to ignore the influence of the environment.

She asked herself in her heart: What is the most important thing about this secret realm?
stair.

The answer was obvious, and Wei Xi continued thinking along this line.

The stairs on the fifth and sixth floors are closely related to the overall environment.

The problem was that they only saw soil on the seventh floor. After digging quite a distance, they didn't even see the floor of the eighth floor. Where could they find the stairs?

Wei Xi began to work backwards, first determining the location of the stairs.

The stairs on the first two levels are related to constellations. There are only two constellations left in the East. If we find them, we can determine the location of the stairs with a high probability.

However, thinking of this, Wei Xi was in trouble again. Where could he find the stars?
Wei Xi was rarely at a loss, as this level was so monotonous that she had no room to maneuver.

"Don't worry," Qin Feng could probably guess Wei Xi's dilemma. "With the Zhenhai Sect's arrangement, there must be a way to break it. There must be some clues."

Wei Xi nodded to indicate that she heard it. She reached out to Lingyin, wanting to give her a fruit.

Unexpectedly, Lingyin did not take the fruit as usual.

Something was wrong, so Wei Xi grabbed the lazy bird and held it in front of him for inspection.

Unlike the autistic and appetiteless bird that Wei Xi imagined, Lingyin's cheeks were plump.

She hadn't fed the bird since she reached the sixth floor. Worried that Lingyin would eat something else, Wei Xi pried open the bird's beak.

Lingyin's mouth was filled with black ants, and the ant corpses with their heads and bodies separated hung on the barbs of her tongue.

"Where did you catch so many ants?" Wei Xi knew that Lingyin was a greedy person, but he didn't expect that she would eat ants and fill her crop.

Lingyin's little black eyes rolled around, and the feathers on her neck fluffed up into a circle, trying to get away with it in a cute way.

Wei Xi let go of her hand and let her fly by herself.

"Eat everything in your mouth," Wei Xi warned, "Don't even think about lying down if you don't finish it!"

After thinking about it, Wei Xi locked on the source of the ants. It turned out that there were small grooves at the top of the tunnel that were invisible to the naked eye, and the ants were crawling in the grooves. If you didn't look carefully, these ants were almost integrated with the dark soil that was full of moisture.

After comparing the heights, it was difficult for Lingyin to stretch her neck to catch these ants.

Wei Xi lowered her head and continued to crawl. Perhaps due to lack of oxygen, her brain only then listed the ants as the seventh level of breakthrough evidence.

Wei Xi suddenly looked up and carefully observed the movement of these ants.

The ants formed a line and hurriedly moved along the grooves on the top of the tunnel.

Wei Xi, who grew up in a mountain village, was accustomed to ants and had even dug up their nests.

Wei Xi had never seen so many ants moving together, and as he crawled further, he saw that the grooves at the top of the tunnel were also filled with ants.

These ants that came out of the nest in droves were obviously not out to look for food. Wei Xi did not see any food in their jaws.

Just as Wei Xi was planning to catch two ants to find out what was going on, he heard movement in the tunnel ahead.

The six people were extremely alert and did not care about the temporarily harmless ants for a moment.

Yun Qing was holding up her lamp and was about to hand it to Qin Feng in front of her when a panicked face suddenly appeared at the edge of the light.
