A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

Du Shuangshuang memorized the location and, after a long detour with the Earth Armor Beast, returned to the spot. He picked up the two Earth Armor Beast corpses and the body of the demon cultivator, whose eyes were still open, and found the parts of the corpse that might have contained storage devices. Of course, the corpses had been trampled beyond recognition, and only the rough shape of a human could be seen. He tossed them directly into his storage bag and ran away without even touching the corpses.

Du Shuangshuang ran furiously for three days and three nights. The Earth Armor Beasts behind her grew larger and larger, but many had already been replaced with new ones. Only two third-level Earth Armor Beasts remained, otherwise there would have been even more. Many Earth Armor Beasts lay exhausted on the ground, cursing inwardly, "What the hell is this? It's running so fast, it's killing me!"

Du Shuangshuang didn't have time to worry about their thoughts. She was also nearing exhaustion and needed to get back to the surface as soon as possible. She was also a human being. Her physical fitness was simply superior to others, and her previous sword practice habit of using spiritual energy to soothe fatigue and aches had helped her persevere for so long. Fortunately, she was very close to the surface, only about five or six meters above. She didn't want to run anymore. There was another passage above, even closer to the ground, but it would take a long time to get there. So, she simply threw three fireball talismans at once, blasting a direct exit to the outside world.

As for why she didn't dig a hole and escape before, it was mainly because it was too deep. The spiritual cave was a hundred meters underground, and the earth armor beasts had already made a fool of it before she even dug a hole. So if there was a passageway on the upper level, she could find an opportunity to dig upwards layer by layer. It was possible on paper, but after living in the underground tunnels for so many days, Du Shuangshuang knew how complex these passages were. If she looked at the top, she might turn a corner and head down to the bottom. She could only rely on luck to escape through the passage that seemed to be going up, so she didn't waste time digging holes.

You have to wait until you are sure that you can open up the upward channel, otherwise you will put yourself in danger. Besides, Du Shuangshuang didn't expect them to be so persistent. It would be fine if they couldn't catch up with you, but who knew they would chase you so hard.

You stole someone's puppies and eggs. How could they not chase you? If it were you, would you not chase him? No way! You would definitely chase him to the ground!

As soon as the cave was opened, Du Shuangshuang ignored the smoke and dust and flew away quickly on the flying boat, leaving only a group of earth-armored beasts roaring on the ground.

Du Shuangshuang could hear their anger and unwillingness. Judging from the sound of their voices, they must be cursing her, and their curses were very dirty!

Humph, little guys, just wait, I'll come and deal with you later, I'm still thinking about the meat on your body! Well, she only bullies these monsters! After she crawls out, she flies in the sky and bullies them silently in her heart.

Du Shuangshuang was lucky. After emerging from the passage, she found herself near a forest. The earth-armored beasts hadn't pursued her into the woods, and since she was still airborne, they had no real way to deal with her, leaving her helpless and furious. She noted the location, shook off the earth-armored beasts, and quickly sought a safe place to land. Before landing, she scanned the area with her spiritual sense, confirming that no one else was nearby. However, she knew she couldn't be complacent, as someone might have set up a formation hidden within.

After observing carefully for a while, he found a hidden location to set up the formation and prepared to rest.

Du Shuangshuang set up the invisibility array. After adjusting her state, Du Shuangshuang began to practice. It had been a long time since she entered the secret realm and had not practiced properly.

After practicing for several weeks, Du Shuangshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Whether on the grassland or in the underground cave, he was constantly surrounded by enemies. Du Shuangshuang did not dare to relax for fear of being caught by mistake. For meals, he either ate fasting pills or spiritual rice cakes and spiritual noodle buns. He did not dare to eat desserts or snacks with a slightly stronger flavor. Thinking that there were no people nearby and no monsters that could appear at any time, it was relatively safe, so he wanted to comfort his stomach. He had just eaten two pieces of snacks and had not had time to take out the skewers he had been wanting to eat for a long time when an unexpected situation occurred. It really is true that you can never relax for a moment!

A small flying boat appeared within his spiritual sense. The occupants were clearly exhausted and fleeing. A closer look revealed a familiar face: Chen Kai, the chubby fellow from Yunlang Pavilion. After meeting him at the food court, Du Shuangshuang had grown quite fond of the chubby fellow. Soon, three more people followed, all of them members of the Demonic Sect, judging by their attire. Two of them had clearly just established their foundation, while one had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Speaking of the little fat guy Chen Kai, his luck was both good and bad. He was teleported directly into a tunnel of the Gengjin Mine right after entering. This was considered very lucky, right?

Geng Metal is the Taibai of the sky, possessing both killing and strength. When strong and combined with water, Geng Metal becomes flowing and clear; when combined with fire, Geng Metal becomes pure and sharp. Earth with water nourishes it, while earth with fire strengthens it. Adding Geng Metal to equipment during refinement increases its toughness and power.

Xin Metal lacks the sharpness of Geng Metal, but it originates from Geng Metal. After being refined, Geng Metal becomes Xin Metal. Born from Geng Metal, it represents the essence of Geng Metal. Adding it to equipment can make it more versatile and is often used to create decorative or jewelry items.

The mine was a good one. After half a month of digging, only a small part of it was dug out. He chose the good ones to dig out and even dug out some rare gold. The fat man was very happy. But at this time, the mine welcomed a few uninvited guests, one of the three people who were chasing him now.

Fortunately, he was careful at the time and had set up a formation at the entrance of the mine. He discovered it when the man touched the formation. The formation lasted for a few days. Later, two more people came. The three of them attacked the formation together. The formation could not last too long, so he wanted to escape quickly.

Facing three opponents with higher realms than himself, Xiaopang knew that he was no match for them at all. He cast down a formation to block them and used a teleportation talisman to escape.

I thought I'd escaped, but yesterday I ran into a few more people. They hadn't seen Xiaopang before, but Xiaopang had seen them. I don't know what Xiaopang's luck was, but this time they were the first to find him, so he was ambushed and seriously injured. He managed to escape with the help of his excellent equipment, but he was about to die when Du Shuangshuang saw him.

The flying boat was about to reach Du Shuangshuang, and it was already shaky. It was obvious that the spirit stones were almost used up, and no one added spirit stones in time or used their own spiritual energy to support it.

If the fat boy fell into their hands, he would be in great trouble. The moment the flying boat approached, Du Shuangshuang used vines to pull the man into the formation.

Although this would likely expose him, there was no other way. He couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. The most important thing was that he had the formation to back him up, which could guarantee his own life, so he stepped in to save him. After Du Shuangshuang pulled the fat man into the formation, she immediately cast a healing spell to heal him.

After a while, the little fat man slowly woke up and looked at Du Shuangshuang with gratitude. The little fat man said in surprise, "Oh, it's you! I knew you were a good person. I thought I was going to die. Wuwuwu, thank you for saving me. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, just tell me!" The little fat man patted his chest and said. Then he widened his eyes in disbelief, "You, you have already established your foundation, even before me, but I am about to establish my foundation too. If you want to take advantage of my seniority, hehe, don't even think about it!"

Du Shuangshuang smiled and shook her head, "Shh, don't make any noise." Although it seemed that no one outside could hear what was said inside the formation, she just wanted to keep quiet as much as possible. What if, after she had switched to the soundproofing mode inside the formation, she was also attacked by the grass spirit's sound attack?

While Xiaopang was still safe, he quickly stuffed the rejuvenation pills, blood-replenishing pills and spirit-replenishing pills into his mouth.

By this time, the three Demon Sect disciples had also caught up. They circled around, looking again and again, but they saw no one. They then landed not far away, trying to get a closer look.

Several people scanned the area within their spiritual sense again and again, and tried to attack various places where many people might be deployed, but they found nothing, no abnormalities, and no trace of the formation.

"I think it fell here. Look carefully around here." said the person with the highest cultivation level.

"Will someone else get there first?" one of them said.

"That would leave some traces, right? Lao Xiao, are you sure it's here?" another person asked.

"Absolutely right!" Lao Xiao said affirmatively.

They expanded their search, leaving no corner untouched. But in the end, they still found nothing. "Forget it, let's go. That guy got lucky."

"It's really strange. How could he suddenly disappear? Did he use the teleportation talisman again? He must be a really rich man." Several people walked away muttering.

Seeing those people leave, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to go out.

Neither of them planned to move, not knowing if the other side would strike back. This formation was safe, at least for now, and the location was well chosen. They had tried to attack various suspected areas, but they hadn't noticed this place.

Du Shuangshuang had chosen this spot. It was originally nestled between two massive rocks, its lower half completely enclosed by stone, leaving only a small opening in the upper half for entry and exit. The space inside was quite spacious, roughly 50 to 60 square meters. The only drawback was that the surrounding stone didn't allow for much light. After Du Shuangshuang had set up the formation, it looked like a single, unbroken rock from the outside. Who could imagine hiding inside? Even if someone tried to explore, they would only attack the lower half.

As expected, the three returned a short while later. After searching around, they still found nothing. It was as if the man had vanished into thin air.

"Where did that guy go?" one of them said.

"It can't have run too far, it must be nearby!" said another person.

Du Shuangshuang smiled inwardly. These people really didn't have any special means of detecting the formation. They could only rely on their spiritual awareness and magic to sense the existence of the formation. However, the place Du Shuangshuang chose for the formation was very clever, and the concealment was excellent. If this formation was set up outside, the other party's almost thorough search would easily expose it. Otherwise, they would not have escaped so easily.
