Chapter 54: Plan Failed
"Three...at least three..."
Being in the soil, Ding Ye recalled the beast roar he had just heard and made a judgment.
He just heard three different beast roars, proving that there were at least three monsters in the cave. Moreover, even if not each one was as strong as the silver-haired demon ape, he was probably not much weaker.
"Sure enough, with my current cultivation level, it is impossible to break through. It is not enough to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and there are too many. In addition, it is also a problem to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
After roughly knowing the number of monsters in the cave, Ding Ye completely lost his other thoughts, moved his body, and sneaked towards the cave in the soil.
After retreating yesterday, he tried to use this earth escape talisman.
After pasting the earth escape talisman and inputting spiritual power to stimulate it, the soil is like water to him, and he can move freely.
But it is difficult to breathe in the soil.
But with his current cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Condensation, holding his breath for half an hour is not a problem, so this has little impact on him.
On the contrary, another point had a great influence on him, that is, he could not recognize the direction in the soil.
Because he doesn't have spiritual consciousness yet.
However, before this, Ding Ye had already seen the direction of his progress. As long as he estimated that he would be almost done and then come out, the deviation should not be very large.
Ding Ye was a very novel experience for him, but he did not have the leisure to experience it carefully, because this earth escape talisman was detrimental when used.
Suddenly, there was a "bang".
Ding Ye screamed in pain, touched his forehead, then stretched out his hand and touched the front, and was stunned.
This...the earth escape talisman cannot penetrate the rock?!
"No..." Ding Ye grinned his teeth and thought to himself, "Is the word "earth" in the earth escape talisman meant earth? No, no matter how you think about it, it should be "earth" of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, it is a kind of five elements magic!"
While thinking, he moved to both sides and touched it, but found that it was hard rocks.
Obviously, he has encountered the rocky mountain now.
Any mountain is the main body of rock and cannot be soil.
Because the soil is easily washed away by rain or corroded, at most it can only form some small hills.
Many mountains look like soil on the outside, but it is actually just a layer of soil produced by weathering. It covers the outside, and is thick and thin, but the inside of the mountain is full of rocks.
Ding Ye’s goal is naturally not a small hill.
The cave is located at a steep cliff hundreds of meters high, with no soil layer covering the surface and it was washed away by rain.
Before this, he didn't think so much, and naturally thought that the word "earth" in the earth escape talisman is "earth" in the five elements, and is a kind of five elements spell.
"No! This must be the Five Elements Spell." Ding Ye frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, an inspiration flashed and increased the spiritual power output into the earth escape talisman.
On the talisman paper, the light on the runes was even more dazzling.
When his body touched the rocks, he suddenly felt like he was touching the soil, and he felt that he could walk through it.
As soon as his body moved, Ding Ye squeezed inside with his teeth.
This time, he did not hit the wall like before, but successfully entered the rocky mountain.
However, it is much more difficult to travel in rocks than to travel in soil.
Even so, Ding Ye still breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, this is the Five Elements Spell. Rocks belong to the earth system after all. Although it is much more difficult to move, it is enough to move."
Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly stopped and looked at the earth escape talisman that was pressed against his body, and his face became a little ugly.
The earth escape talisman is not something used infinitely.
Although it is driven by Ding Ye's input of spiritual power to stimulate and drive, it will cause losses every time it is used.
The runes drawn on the talisman paper will gradually fade and become blurred.
At this moment, although the earth escape talisman attached to Ding Ye's body emitted even more light, through this light, you can find that the loss speed of the runes on it suddenly increased by more than ten times!
Although he didn't know how deep the cave was and how far the destination he was going to, it was obvious that if this continued, the earth escape talisman would not be able to support it.
After estimating in his mind for a little, Ding Ye retreated from the rocky mountain without hesitation.
After quitting, he quickly reduced the output of spiritual power.
Suddenly, the loss speed of the earth escape talisman returned to normal again.
"Although this earth escape talisman is of good quality, one is not enough." Looking at the mountain in front of him, Ding Ye was a little worried, "If you count the time for the return journey, you have to prepare at least four or five to be safer. If you count the time you are looking for, you have to have more."
Thinking of this, he felt that the two people he killed were really naive, and their preparation was completely insufficient.
However, I guess this earth escape talisman will not be very cheap, otherwise the two of them would definitely buy more.
After thinking for a while, Ding Ye tried to dive again, but found that as he continued to dive, the difficulty of moving forward began to gradually increase, and the loss speed of the earth escape talisman continued to accelerate.
In addition, he soon encountered rocks again.
That is the rock layer covered by the surface soil layer.
On the earth, the surface soil layer, that is, the soil circle, has an average thickness of 5 meters. Here, Ding Ye dived about twenty or thirty meters and finally encountered the rock layer below it.
After reaching out and touching it, Ding Ye sighed and began to dive.
He found that the mountains here are still made of rocks.
Although this is a normal phenomenon, he still had a little thought before confirming it personally.
But at this moment, the idea of "taking a detour from below and then diving up" is also shattered.
Therefore, there is no need to sneak in the soil anymore.
After diving up to the more surface soil layer, Ding Ye sneaked away from the cave for a long distance. After feeling that it was almost done, he emerged from the soil and came out.
At the same time, we stopped instilling spiritual power into the earth escape talisman.
Picking up the earth escape talisman that was stuck to his body, Ding Ye took a look and found that after all this trouble, the talisman had been almost half lost.
"Maybe those two people are like me before, thinking that the difficulty of sneaking in the rocks and the speed of loss of talismans is the same as the speed of sneaking in the soil." Ding Ye shook his head.
Not to mention the huge gap between soil and rocks, even if it is soil, the difficulty of travel and the loss speed of talismans are different.
The thicker the soil, the more dense it is, the more difficult it is to travel, and the faster the talisman is to lose.
This was discovered by him while he was constantly diving.
In the next few days, Ding Ye kept turning around nearby to observe whether there were shortcuts that could be used, but the result disappointed him.
If you want to go in and find out, you either go directly from the cave or prepare more earth escape talismans to go in.
But using the earth escape talisman to enter is actually just a way to master the advantage of "hiding in the dark".
Because those monsters were entrenched there, it is very likely that he would not be able to get out at all by then.
In this way, after observing for a few days, just as Ding Ye began to consider whether to wait until his cultivation level was higher, someone suddenly found him.
