"What do we do? Time is running out. We must get out of the underground and escape before the tree demon is fully resurrected!"

After deliberating for a while, Qin Wu decided to continue digging underground.

The key point is that even if they go deep underground, they will be crushed to death by the immense pressure. But if they remain active on the surface, they will be doomed once the tree spirit awakens!

Wait!

All Qin Wu can do now is wait!

Once this wave of mental probing subsided, Qin Wu would immediately take action.

At this moment, Qin Wu felt his heart pounding wildly, his breathing rapid, and his face flushed and paled in turns. He gripped the military shovel tightly in his right hand, ready to dig a hole at any moment.

With his eyes tightly closed and his brows furrowed, he was constantly sensing the spiritual energy around him.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide.

"It's now!"

Qin Wu's eagle-like eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his entire body instantly sprang into action! Using every trick in the book, Qin Wu was determined to dig deeper into the ground!

"Swish!"

They had only been digging for a short while when some of the rocks above them instantly turned to dust, and a barrage of mental attacks was frantically covering the surrounding area.

Qin Wu felt a chill run from his back to the top of his head, making him shudder involuntarily. Fear instantly filled his heart.

Dig! Dig!

They dug through a vein of ore... they hit rock... they found a water source...

In just over ten minutes, Qin Wu dug dozens of meters deep.

"Now we should be safe!"

Qin Wu dug while thinking to himself.

The mental attacks could no longer reach him, and now that the 260 tendrils were gone, Qin Wu was finally able to catch his breath.

"call……"

Stopping what he was doing, Qin Wu leaned against a rock, panting heavily. He felt like he was about to collapse. From the moment he entered Nan Yue City until now, Qin Wu's nerves had been in a state of extreme tension.

And now he looks completely unrecognizable, covered in wet mud, a real mud man!

The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, making them look particularly terrifying.

Looking at his hands, black mud was deeply embedded in his fingernails, and his skin was marked with red marks from various rocks. Although the skin of a Transcendent Realm cultivator is as hard as iron, it can still be injured under high intensity.

His strength seemed to vanish the moment he stopped moving, leaving him limp and powerless, like a corpse with lifeless eyes. Deep underground, only Qin Wu's heavy breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, Qin Wu's ears twitched, and he vaguely heard the sound of flowing water.

"Um?!"

.......

Chapter 310: It's so suffocating (5)

Qin Wu sat up abruptly, his bloodshot eyes wide as he looked around, his ears pressed against the cave wall.

"Crash..."

Qin Wu's pupils contracted, and without thinking, he quickly looked up, pressed his right hand on the shovel, and shoveled down hard.

The sight before Qin Wu took him by surprise!

"This is... a drainage pipe?!"

"Clatter!"

There are more than a dozen thick pipes, each as thick as four or five people could hug, lined up side by side, leading in all directions.

"Outside the city? A dark forest?! A desert?! A river?!"

Qin Wu boldly guessed that this water must be drained out of the city, otherwise it wouldn't be dumped so deep underground.

Qin Wu was surprised to find such an advanced underground drainage system here!

At this moment, Qin Wu felt as if he had grasped an extremely thick lifeline. He was so excited that his eyes became slightly moist, and he grinned, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Wu tried his best to calm himself down.

His expression hardened, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and his mind raced.

“This is not the surface, but deep underground. Perhaps it is because the people of this plane are worried that the surface is too thin and shallow, making it easy for someone to sneak in and steal spirit stones, or perhaps they are worried that the tree demon’s roots are on the surface, so they deliberately set up the water pipes here?”

For martial artists, burying something deep underground is not a difficult task.

Previously, Qin Wu had been active on the surface and had not dug up a drainage system, so he thought that Nanyue City did not have one.

But now, the scene before him was truly unexpected for Qin Wu.

Qin Wu's eyes lit up with joy, and a faint smile curved his dark face.

"I knew it! A city with millions of people and a pretty good environment, how could it not have a drainage system?"

"Deep underground, there's a vast network of drainage pipes. How are these beings from other dimensions supposed to find me?"

Qin Wu wanted to laugh wildly, but he didn't dare. He glanced back at the empty cave behind him with lingering fear, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Heaven hasn't forsaken me, Qin Wu! Even the heavens are helping me! Hahaha!"

At this moment, Qin Wu was too lazy to think about any of this. He didn't care about the stench anymore and quickly found a gap to run away!

Not long after Qin Wu left, the martial artists from above who were tasked with hunting him down arrived at this place.

As the group entered the passage, the pungent smell immediately made them frown and cover their noses.

A man with a grim face looked at the chaotic scene below and said in a cold voice, "We've entered the underground passage. What do we do now?"

This is really troublesome now.

These pipes lead to various places, even outside the city. When the city was built hundreds of years ago, because the roots of the tree demon covered the ground, no one expected that someone would attack Nanyue City from underground!

Even if it did exist, the tree spirit is dead!

Upon hearing this, the group frowned and pondered.

"The enemy didn't enter the city from the outside; instead, they dug a tunnel from inside the city, broke through the ground, and escaped through underground passages. If the city lord knows about this, what should we say?"

These words caused everyone present to frown, and a flash of anger crossed their eyes.

"It's difficult..."

The group exchanged glances and shook their heads slightly, looking somewhat helpless. If it were a direct confrontation, even a hundred Qin Wus wouldn't be enough for them, but Qin Wu simply wouldn't fight them head-on!

Now, Qin Wu hasn't even shown his face, how can we fight him?

Even if you reach a higher realm, if you can't find your enemy, isn't it all for nothing?

One of the more hot-tempered commanders, enraged, glared at the passage below and suddenly unleashed a powerful punch.

"boom--"

In an instant, the stone wall on one side of the passage collapsed like water.

Immediately following was an angry shout: "If you ask me, just destroy this place! Start from the outside and break down the passageways, crush them all!"

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent and did not reply.

It sounds simple, but if it were completely destroyed, the underground would collapse, and a significant portion of Nanyue City would likely be destroyed as well.

Nanyue City doesn't belong to them; it belongs to the city lord and the guardian deity. How to deal with it is up to them!

It's not worth destroying the entire South Moon City just to catch a thief.

Even if they catch you, the city is gone, and whether you live or die is another matter, but at the very least, you won't have an easy time.

They all knew this, so they dared not make a move.

The leader, a powerful expert with the Qi Refining Realm, changed his expression and said coldly, "Continue searching."

The commanders were all extremely frustrated, so they remained silent and began searching along different routes.

Asking them to find a thief who isn't even cannon fodder in this stinking ditch is like feeding them shit. This is even more frustrating than the battle with Dawn City a few days ago!

Although the battle was dangerous, everyone was strong, and being killed or killing others was acceptable.

Now, they're running around in circles trying to burrow into a mole, which is the biggest mistake of their lives!

The commanders wanted to roar out loud. Even killing them would feel much better than this. It was too frustrating!

in the channel.

Qin Wu shook his head, his mind somewhat unclear, and his pupils became somewhat unfocused.

At this moment, he was severely injured. Several mental attacks almost caused him to explode and die. Then he was hit by a fist, which felt like being hit by a speeding train. He felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

"I almost died inside."
