Chapter 336 You Can Touch, But You Can’t Use Her

“Boss!”

Over a hundred miles from the tomb, within a hidden cave, Guo Ran was excitedly looking at Long Chen .

“Boss, I heard those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds talking about you back on that day when I was hiding . Tch, I knew my boss couldn’t die from being buried in the tomb! With boss’s brilliance and divine martial arts, with boss’s incomparable smarts, how could you possibly be buried inside while they managed to come out safe and sound?”

Long Chen had just entered the cave . Sitting down on his b.u.t.t, he seemed somewhat exhausted . “This time you’re wrong . Your boss really did get buried inside . ”

“No way! Boss, you really were buried? You do kind of look like you just dug your way out of the ground . ” Long Chen’s robes were covered in dirt, and he seemed weary .

“While playing with idiots, I ended up being the one played . Your boss really did end up failing miserably . I am really ashamed,” sighed Long Chen .

On that day, Long Chen had sent out a full strength blow that had managed to send the three of them flying .

But those three were all Chosen, and working together, they managed to also force Long Chen back several steps .

At that time, a huge pillar had smashed down on the top of the pa.s.sageway, essentially burying Long Chen inside the tomb .

As the tomb collapsed, more and more dirt was falling from the ceiling . Even with Long Chen’s physical body, there was no way he could withstand that kind of terrifying weight . As the dirt began to cover him, he had felt as if he might be crushed to death .

If that had continued, Long Chen would definitely have died . But then he had thought of the pa.s.sageway that had been filled with traps . If he didn’t want to be crushed to death, he had to enter there .

That pa.s.sageway was definitely specially constructed, as it was the only defense for the tomb . Long Chen estimated that it should be able to withstand the pressure coming from above . Forcing his way through the dirt, he had waded towards the pa.s.sageway .

Once he had managed to enter the pa.s.sageway, he realized his expectations were correct . As the only defensive line in the tomb, it was definitely special . Even as the rest of the tomb collapsed, it managed to stay intact .

The outside was continuously rumbling . Long Chen knew that the pressure above would continuously compress the ground around here . In the future, this dirt would become as hard as stone .

There was no further influx of air into the tomb . With Long Chen’s cultivation base, he estimated he would have three days’ worth of air . Any longer than that and he would suffocate .

The rumbling outside only stopped a full day later . Everything had gone silent, a chilling, deathly silent .

Long Chen had tried using Spiritual Strength to probe the ground . But his Spiritual Strength, which had a range of three thousand meters in the air, had less than a thirty meter range in this ground . The density of this earth was too high .

Just as he had been at his wits’ end, he had suddenly looked at the golden page in his hand which was emitting that faint light .

Pouring his Spiritual Strength into the page, it had immediately lit up the entire pa.s.sageway .

For some unknown reason, the page possessed a great affinity for Spiritual Strength . Combined with Spiritual Strength, it was able to emit an unimaginable power .

Trying out the page’s power, he had used it to cut the wall of the pa.s.sageway . The incredibly hard wall had instantly been cut through as easy as if it were tofu .

In fact, he found he didn’t need to control it with his hands, and that he was able to make it fly through the air just by using his Spiritual Strength .

Just like that, he had begun to use it to pierce through the top of the pa.s.sageway .

He was able to control it at long distances, and he found that after just a couple miles, the golden page managed to pierce through the top of the mountain .

The golden page was just too efficient . It cut apart the rock as easy as cutting tofu, and it didn’t exhaust much Spiritual Strength . Just like that, Long Chen had started a large-scale engineering project, using the small page to bore a path to the outside .

The first thing he did was cut a thin pa.s.sageway to allow fresh air to enter so he didn’t suffocate .

He then expanded the pa.s.sageway, absorbing all the parts he cut away into his spatial rings . He had multiple spatial rings on him, so he just filled two empty ones with the dirt .

Digging a well down might be hard, but digging a pa.s.sageway up was much easier . He only needed half a day to cut a pa.s.sage two feet wide . Rather than immediately leaving, he had then stayed another day to be safe before crawling out .

Once out, he had gone to this hidden cave that he had agreed to meet Guo Ran at . As soon as he had walked in, he had felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him .

The feeling of being able to escape from the jaws of death was a good one . As you would expect, a tomb was no place for the living . The living should stay in the world of the living .

Even Long Chen had felt powerless with the specter of death hanging around him . If it hadn’t been for that golden page, he really would have died inside .

“Let’s switch locations . I’ve got some good stuff to show you . ”

After resting a bit, Long Chen brought Guo Ran to another hidden, but more open s.p.a.ce . With a wave of his hand, he directly summoned out the forging table .

When he saw the forging table, Guo Ran’s eyes almost popped out of his head, his jaw dropping to the ground .

“Am… am I dreaming?” he stuttered .
