Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Thirteen: Exploring the Mine Again

next day

noon

Han Yi cautiously peeked out the door like a thief.

He was carrying a long knife in his right hand and a bulging bundle in his other hand. Moreover, his originally slightly loose black robe seemed to be stuffed with bottles and jars, making it appear somewhat tight-fitting.

"Phew, finally out." Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although disciples without missions are free to move around during the day, it would be difficult to explain his attire if others saw him.

"After all, I am a little socially anxious!"

"Initially, one can take five steps per breath, gradually progressing to ten steps per breath..."

"Practice your breath to achieve harmony..."

There's still some distance to the 'Fire Crystal Stone' mine, which is perfect for practicing 'Flying Swallow Kick'!

Swallow Leg - Swallow Beak!

Han Yi's legs were like a bird's beak.

With a crack, debris flew everywhere, and a hole about a foot wide was kicked into an ancient tree.

Flying Swallow Leg - Swallow Walk!

Han Yi secretly gathered his strength, his body moving like a swallow. Even with a heavy load, he still moved lightly through the mountains and forests like a swallow in flight.

[Martial Arts]: Mountain-Shattering Fist (Mortal Rank, Trait: Stone Shattering, Minor Mastery 4/20, can be improved); Basic Swordsmanship (Mortal Rank, Trait: Sword Dance, Minor Mastery 0/20, can be improved); Flying Swallow Kick (Low-Grade Yellow Rank, Beginner 2/10, can be improved)

This 'Flying Swallow Kick' is actually a low-grade Yellow Rank martial art!

Furthermore, after mastering the basics, his overall unarmed combat strength increased to '10~15'.

"How could a bandit have a Yellow-Rank martial arts manual?" He felt increasingly suspicious about the beast tide.

"There must be something fishy going on behind this!"

At noon, most of the mining apprentices had returned to the camp for lunch and rest.

Based on Han Yi's experience as a mining apprentice, he sneaked along several side paths and around several corners before finally arriving at the location he remembered.

His eyes widened in surprise: "This mine has actually been sealed off..."

The opening, which was more than five feet wide, was filled with stones of various sizes.

"Could it be that another accident has occurred here?"

But since he was already there, Han Yi gritted his teeth; this wasn't the time to hesitate.

Mountain-Crushing Fist - Rock Smash

He used brute force to break through the 'stone wall'!

"It's so cold!"

Han Yi shuddered.

Whether it was because the mine was abandoned and unused, or it was just his imagination, he felt that the temperature inside the mine was extremely low, creating a significant temperature difference with the scorching sun outside.

Boom

Han Yi rubbed the lid and lit the tinderbox.

Using the light, following the marks he had left behind, they headed to the mine where Ma Liu had shouted after his accident.

"Huh, this place has been sealed off too?" Han Yi frowned slightly.

He carefully peered through the cracks between the stones several times. "Apart from complete darkness, there seems to be nothing unusual..."

He did the same thing and opened up the entrance.

Wow

Han Yi kicked aside a few pebbles and leaped over them.

"What is that?" Han Yi's eyes narrowed. There was a hole the size of a human head in the rock wall!

The mine wall here seems rather thin; is this the spot where Ma Liu hollowed it out? He took his pickaxe and went over to tap on the spot.

"Could it be that the 'yin energy worms' came from the cave across the way?"

The hole was deep and dark; looking inside, there was no light at all, and no one knew where it led.

Han Yi had an idea, so he took a tinderbox, lit it, and threw it in.

The tinderbox burned quietly with a crackling sound, and otherwise, all was silent.

"The air is also circulating..."

"It shouldn't be a big problem!"

"Besides, I've also prepared this ultimate weapon." He touched something in the package.

Bang, bang, bang

Han Yi quickly broke through and widened the mine wall, then leaped across in a single bound.

"It seems even colder here..." Han Yi subconsciously tightened his collar.

He looked around a few times. It seemed that he was in a cave. Although it was dark, he could vaguely feel that there was air circulation.

"Strange, there seems to be no danger here. Could it be that that day was really just a coincidence?"

Han Yi groped his way forward, supporting himself against the rock wall. He appeared calm and composed, but his tightly clenched fists betrayed his inner tension.

The cave was extremely spacious, and Han Yi walked for a long time without reaching the end.

"What is that sound?" Han Yi listened intently.

A series of rustling echoes came from the darkness.

The next moment, a mournful and melodious song came clearly from the darkness.

Everyone says it's good to have a son, but they don't know that having a daughter is like having a golden jade...

"Songs? How could there be anyone in this cave..."

Han Yi's expression changed drastically, and he turned to leave!

However, in an instant, he was mesmerized and completely immersed in the song!

"What a beautiful singing voice!"

"Gege is beautiful, but isn't she even more beautiful in person!" "I really want to go see her..."

All other thoughts had vanished from Han Yi's mind except for the lingering song. His usual caution and underhanded development were completely forgotten!

He walked slowly and deliberately into the darkness, chuckling as he went!

The singing faded away, and the sound of broken bones being crushed by leather boots produced a series of crisp sounds.

The cracking sound echoed through the cave, creating a series of reverberations and startling Han Yi, who was engrossed in the song!

"where is this place?"

"Why does this rock face feel a bit sticky to the touch..."

Han Yi's eyes were glazed over, as if he had not yet woken up from the beautiful singing.

He calmed himself down, and as the firelight illuminated his surroundings, he looked around, and his face instantly turned pale.

On the ground, skeletons, whether human or animal, lay scattered haphazardly, alongside tattered clothes and tangled hair.

The cave was covered with countless spider webs, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be some severed limbs and broken weapons stuck to it.

Ahead, a deep, dark cave, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, emitted a putrid stench, as if trying to devour Han Yi.

"Calm down, calm down, you must stay calm."

Han Yi was a little flustered at this moment. Even he, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but break out in a few cold sweats!

rustling rustling

A faint sound, like an insect crawling, arose, but when Han Yi tried to listen carefully to pinpoint its location, the sound vanished abruptly, as if it were merely his imagination. Silence, stillness, utter silence; apart from the rapid breathing and heartbeat, there was no other sound.

Han Yi felt like an ordinary person standing on a boulder that could collapse and crush him at any moment, experiencing only threat and a sense of impending doom.

"Go, go slowly!"

Han Yi retreated slowly without making a sound.

Kara

It was as if a giant object had lowered its steps and jumped down from a great height.

Han Yi quickly waved his hand, and four or five tinderboxes scattered in all directions.

Han Yi's pupils dilated slightly.

The moment the tinderbox hit the ground, a giant spider the size of a boulder, with what appeared to be a human face on its back, hesitated not far from Han Yi!

boom!

The giant spider leaped up!

The fire went out! Han Yi's pupils constricted. Without thinking, he circulated his qi and blood in his legs and quickly turned around and ran away.

He stopped.

The giant spider, like a ghost, was already hanging upside down in front of him, and the pale female face on the spider was opening and closing.

"Please help me, kind-hearted people, have you seen my dear daughter, Nannan?"
