748 Treacherous Traversing in the Ground! (1/2)
Activating both the Yin Yang Escape art and the Power of Earth at the same time, Jun Mo Xie reached the deepest of the ground within the blink of an eye! And this location happened to be right under the center of the Blizzard Silver City Hall!
The mysterious energy that Jun Mo Xie had encountered last time came from here!
Jun Mo Xie felt the Hongjun Pagoda turning at high speed with a hong in his head the moment he had gone into the ground, and with unusual enthusiasm! The heavy sensation he experienced last time had also begun to thicken again!
This entire area underground seemed like a huge swamp, and he was right in it! And he could only move forward with great struggle!
You're excited, but you can't just be excited alone! We are underground; do you know how much spiritual energy is required to use both the Yin Yang Escape art and the Power of Earth at the same time? Plus, every step we take, we need to break past this unimaginably heavy obstructing force. If you're not going to help, how could I survive making past this? Are you planning to kill me?
Jun Mo Xie complained in his head. But these were not empty words; if he didn't have a cheat code like the Hongjun Pagoda, based off of Jun Mo Xie's own capabilities only, it would definitely be hard for him to maintain this for a long period of time. And once he ran out of spiritual energy, regardless of how miraculous they both were, both the Yin Yang Escape art and the Power of Earth would lose their effectiveness without spiritual energy as the driving force. Then someone would turn into a tragedy straight away…
But Hongjun Pagoda still made no movements, only rapidly spinning and anticipating excitedly, showing no signs or intentions to open the doors to release Spiritual Qi…
Looks like this fellow hasn't finished digesting after overeating.
Jun Mo Xie sighed in resentment. I'm so ill-fated!! Looks like I have rely on myself to achieve this! I'll save some of my resources and pray that it is enough to last me till there!
Let's not even talk about how I'm slogging my life to sustain through this, and the most depressing thing is… All this is done for the sake of the Hongjun Pagoda; how much benefit I will gain from this is hard to tell… This caused Jun Mo Xie to feel a little unfair…
With a mentality of not wasting his energy, he tested out a step in all four directions. Jun Mo Xie then made a decision: to drill his way northwest!
Because it was the direction which was most difficult to break through amongst all four directions! And its density was even more obvious!
If there was really something good here, it must be there!
Nothing else to say! I'm risking it!
Succeed or die!
Jun Mo Xie took a deep breath and began to spin rapidly in the soil, turning faster and faster, eventually forming a tornado. At the highest speed of the spinning, he positioned himself horizontally. With a strong kick with his legs against the soil behind him, he shot forward like an arrow!
The top of Jun Mo Xie's head was like a drill rotating at high speed, drilling his way right through!
This was the most energy conserving method that Jun Mo Xie could think of for the beginning stage!
This one drill had covered a dozen of meters! Jun Mo Xie felt his scalp heating up from the constant friction of spinning at a high speed, and a fiery burning sensation developed on his scalp.
He couldn't help but cursed in his heart: F*ck, my head full of hair can't possibly be ruined like this right? I'll really get an heartache…. Although it's a bit longer and gets in the way sometimes, but if I became bald…. That'd be too unflattering….
The spinning began to weaken and finally came to a stop. Jun Mo Xie stood upright again, and the first thing he did was touch the top of his head and he let out a sigh of relief. There was still hair, but the sudden wave of hot friction earlier caused it to become a little curly. This is a new discovery, I wonder if I could use this method to invent perming skills…
At the same time, Jun Mo Xie calculated the distance and couldn't help but bite his tongue. Had it been in the air, he could've covered a distance of a few hundred meters with what he did earlier! But in this ground, he had only drilled his way through a short distance of a dozen zhang!
And the location that he was in currently was even denser and thicker, with even larger an obstructing force! Almost like a giant silkworm cocoon, binding himself within! There was extreme difficulty in moving even his fingers!
Jun Mo Xie tried to regulate his Xuan efficacy to absorb the lingering energy in this space, only to release that he couldn't absorb it at all. It looked like this obstructing force was not a condensation of odd Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi, but a mysterious type of energy that he was not aware of!
There's no other choice; let's continue to drill!
Jun Mo Xie was also getting aggressive. I don't believe that I can't drill my way through! I'm going all out!
He activated the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune to level up his skills. Jun Mo Xie closed his mouth and gritted his teeth as he inched his way across, one step at a time…
A long while passed…
Jun Mo Xie couldn't be bothered to maintain his image, so he sat on his butt and panted heavily. Hot beads of perspiration drenched his head and evaporated into white steam that was instantly absorbed into the earth!
This is too darn difficult…..
Jun Mo Xie was a feeling little helpless. At the beginning, he could still advanced with big steps, and although there was great obstruction, it wasn't significant enough to prevent him from moving ahead. But over here, his movements were greatly reduced—he could only inch forward!
And there was a strong repelling force in here! If he did not quickly use Thousand Catty Drop to stabilize himself for every one inch he moved forward, he would have been repelled a few meters back by that force!
