"Yang Ji, you don't think their lair will be here, do you?"
Zhao Hua seemed to have thought of something and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Um."
Yang Ji looked forward and nodded vigorously, his expression serious as never before:
"Besides here, I really can't think of anywhere else they would be hiding."
Yang Ji added in his mind: "They must and can only hide here!"
The ground boat cannot penetrate rocks, but solid rock formations are just the thing to build an underground lair, an indispensable thing for a station.
Because soil cannot withstand underground cave structures, but rocks can.
"...Moreover, this is the only place I haven't explored yet."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
Zhao Hua opened his mouth, but stopped talking. He didn't know where Yang Ji got such confidence. In Zhao Hua's view, Yang Ji's information had actually been proven wrong, but because of his relationship with Su Hong,
He was just unwilling to do so.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhao Hua only asked one question.
Yang Ji was silent, guessing was one thing, but confirming it was another matter. Faced with such a huge underground rock mass, tens of thousands of feet high, Yang Ji didn't know what to do for a while.
"His!"
Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and a filament-like black shadow flew out from Yang Ji's wrist. With only one flicker, it immediately jumped out of the light area of "Earth Boat" and disappeared without a trace.
"This is……"
Zhao Hua was surprised by this sudden change, and his eyes focused on Yang Ji.
"Xiaoji?"
A look of surprise flashed in Yang Ji's eyes. Not only Zhao Hua, but also Xiao Ji was surprised by Xiao Ji's sudden move.
"Senior Brother Zhao, wait a moment."
Yang Ji suddenly said. He did not explain why, he just stood at the bow of the ship and let the "Earth Boat" stop in front of the rock mass.
There was a strange look in Zhao Hua's eyes, but he didn't say anything and stood back silently.
"Xiaoji" goes as quickly as it comes.
In just the blink of an eye, with a whoosh, it emerged from the rock mass. With a whoosh, it fell into the "Earth Boat" area and was entangled in Yang Ji's hand.
"Sizzle!"
"Xiao Ji" raised his head excitedly and made a sound.
When they saw clearly what was in its mouth, both of them were surprised. It was a piece of "cloth" that Xiao Ji had torn off from some cloth department.
The color of the rag was still fresh, and it had obviously been torn from a human body.
"His!"
Zhao Slip took a breath and understood something instantly: "There is someone inside this rock!"
The rocky area was the only one they didn't explore because the rocky surface was flat and covered with grass, and there was no way it could hide anyone.
The two searched underground. They had never searched this underground rock formation.
However, some people thought that the lair of those evil masters was actually in such an "inconspicuous" place.
"Yang Ji, your pet has really made great achievements."
Zhao Hua said deeply.
"When things go wrong, there must be monsters." Although he has not seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Hua is almost certain that the evil masters they are looking for are in the huge rock formation in front of them.
"Yang Ji, it's okay. Let's go up and notify Junior Sister Lin and the others now."
Zhao Hua said.
At this point, the mission of the two of them is basically completed. There is no need to stay down there anymore.
"Wait a minute."
Yang Ji called out to Zhao Hua. He suppressed his inner excitement.
His guess was not wrong, and the information he received was also correct. Xiaoji's discovery undoubtedly confirmed all his previous statements.
"Xiao Ji. Thank you."
Yang Ji touched Xiao Ji's head and said excitedly. Xiao Ji had done him a big favor. Now he was basically sure that if Xiao Hong was still alive, he must have been brought to this rock formation.
"Senior Brother Zhao, we are still just confirming that there are people in the rock mass. Who, how many people there are, and what the structural layout is, we still don't know."
Yang Ji rubbed his eyebrows slightly and said calmly:
"Moreover, if the lair of those evil warriors is really here, we may search and dig up there, and we may be able to alert them."
Zhao Hua's face changed slightly when he thought of the flat terrain on the surface. He had to think carefully about Yang Ji's words. Indeed, compared to the underground, there is no shelter at all on the ground.
If they act rashly, they will only alert the attention of those evil masters. They may even alert those Liang Youshi.
"Yang Ji, what do you mean?"
Zhao Hua said. This remark undoubtedly confirmed Yang Ji's decision.
"Xiaoji can drill in, there must be some pores here. Moreover, the underground is hidden, and the structure of the rock mass makes it impossible for even an underground boat to enter. They must not have thought that they would enter here."
Yang Jidao, his eyes sparkled with wisdom.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Zhao Hua said. He had vaguely guessed what Yang Ji was thinking, but he still couldn't believe that Yang Ji's plan would be so bold.
"Haha, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Zhao, about this."
Yang Ji smiled and suddenly pulled out the "Guquan Sword" on his body with a clang. In this dim environment, the light of the Guquan Sword was very dazzling.
The Koizumi Sword blows hair and cuts hair, cuts iron like mud, and is extremely sharp. In this kind of underground, it is the best tool for breaking through rock formations.
"Senior Brother Zhao, please control the boat for me. We will start from here and find out the truth inside. Then we will tell Senior Sister Lin and the others another message."
At this time, Zhao Hua couldn't help but admire Yang Ji's unconstrained and crazy ideas. Breaking through the rock formations from the depths of the earth and breaking in by force was truly an idea only possessed by madmen and geniuses.
"Can!"
Zhao Hua didn't hesitate much and said simply:
"You just concentrate on drilling the rock formations in front. Leave the rest to me!"
Yang Ji nodded, then flicked his sleeve, bang bang bang! Five swords shot out of the air and pierced into the dense rock.
For the first time, Yang Ji used the "Immortal Back Sword" to dig a passage in an underground rock mass.
"rise!"
Yang Ji pointed his finger, and the five ancient spring swords immediately started to rotate like gears like crazy. The power of this famous sword from the place where the sword was made was now revealed.
Chi chi chi! Countless stone powder and gravel roared out, and Yang Ji shook his sleeves to put it away and sprinkled it into the surrounding rock formations. The density of the soil was very loose. With these stone powder embedded, the gravel did not change at all.
Stone powder and gravel flew out one after another, and the hard rock in front of Yang Ji and others continued to "melt." Under the guidance of "Xiao Ji", Yang Ji and Zhao Hua joined forces to forcibly drive through the underground rock formations.
A dark passage emerged...
Time passed slowly in this boring excavation, and the two of them had completely forgotten about time. They don’t know how long it took, but suddenly——
"Bo!"
There was a soft sound. It was very sudden in the silent underground, as if the tip of Yang Ji's Guquan sword had pierced something.
"careful!"
The two of them stood there at the same time, motionless. No one knew what was going on in the cave, let alone whether the tip of the sword had stabbed someone.
If it attracts the attention of the people in the cave, their hard work will be completely in vain.
It seemed like an instant, and it seemed like a long time passed, but the expected restlessness did not come.
"nobody!"
Yang Ji sighed, and then swung his sword to cut off the last layer of rock mass in front.
A circle of bright light shined through the "hole" cut out. There was silence in the dark passage. The bright light hit the two of them, and both of them were a little surprised.
"It seems they have been here for a long time, and everything is quite perfect."
Zhao Hua looked at Yang Ji and said softly.
A place with lights means that you are ready to live there for a long time. Obviously, those evil disciples have been preparing to live here for more than a day or two.
"Well. Senior Brother Zhao, please take care of me for a while. Try not to disturb them before you find out their details."
Yang Ji whispered.
"Don't worry. I know what to do."
Zhao Hua waved his hand and said.
Yang Ji nodded. The two of them listened for a while, and faintly heard footsteps coming from far away from the entrance of the cave. Mixed with people's whispers, they were a bit far away, so they didn't seem to be here.
Yang Ji bent down, lowered his head, gently approached the entrance of the cave, and looked inside.
"How about it?"
Zhao Hua patted Yang Ji's back and said curiously.
"The lights were very bright, and they dug a large tunnel underground. But no one was seen. Hey... they actually dug an underground river."
Yang Ji looked ahead in surprise. Not far from the entrance of the hole he dug, in the bright light, an underground river gurgled past. The water was very clear. What was even more surprising was that Yang Ji saw something inside.
Some fish have narrow and long bodies and cyan backs.
"It's a fish in the underground river."
Yang Ji blinked and was slightly surprised. He had read in some fantasy books that many underground rivers were connected to some rivers.
With the help of the living water and air brought by the river, as well as the minerals in the underground rivers, some special fish species live in these underground rivers.
These fish have lost their visual function because they have lived in a dark environment for a long time. But for this reason, the meat is very delicious.
However, although Yang Ji knew about it, this was the first time he actually saw it.
"Let's go! Go in and take a look."
Yang Ji held the sword in his right hand and swung it hard, and the originally narrow hole immediately expanded in a circle. With a vertical movement of his body, Yang Ji's body immediately jumped over like a living fish.
Behind him, Zhao Hua followed suit and got out.
The two of them moved very lightly and didn't alert anyone after they got out.
When Zhao slipped out, Yang Ji cut another piece of brown rock to block the entrance of the cave.
"Hopefully they won't find out."
Yang Ji took a look and thought to himself. Just blocking the entrance of the cave with a rock slab was not safe. If they were discovered and the two men were cut off from their retreat, it would probably be a bloody battle.
But Yang Ji had no better way.
"There is an underground river here, and it's on the edge. The lights are not too bright. If you weren't intentional, you probably wouldn't have discovered it."
Yang Ji took a look and could only comfort himself. Even if these evil disciples found out, they wouldn't be so quick, which should be enough to prevent him and Zhao Hua from escaping.
"Let's go!"
The two of them stood on the edge of the brown cave wall, with the clear underground river in front of them. Yang Ji pulled Zhao Hua up, and with a slight movement, they waded through the underground river silently. (To be continued.
