Chapter 1507 No Air
But he didn't dare to go out immediately. Fortunately, he was now a cultivator at the third level of the mortal realm and could last for three to five minutes without breathing at all.
He entered the ring space and knew nothing about the situation in the box. He was now afraid that when he couldn't hold his breath and went out, there would still be beasts staring at the box where he was hiding.
But he had to go out and tried his best to hold his breath and stay as long as possible. This was the only thing Chen Xuan could do at this time.
Five minutes later, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer and left the ring space with a change of heart. "Just die! It's best to stay with Lao Baobao." He thought silently in his heart.
The surroundings were dark, Chen Xuan quickly raised his head and looked up, but found no blue light from the wolf's eyes. He reached out and touched the box board above his head again, only to find that the box had been closed.
At the same time, I also heard a few wolves whining. It seemed that some high-level wolves were talking. Of course, Chen Xuan didn't understand animal language, so he didn't know where those wolves were.
After a while, Chen Xuan felt that the box he was in was slightly tilted, as if it had been moved.
"Are the wolves going to move these spiritual crystals away?" Chen Xuan asked in his heart. It is safe for now, but it will not be good in the future. He didn't know where these greedy wolves would take the spiritual crystal and him.
"We must find a chance to escape." Chen Xuan immediately understood that his escape time limit was very short. Before the spiritual crystal is brought to the wolf clan's lair, or before he is starved to death.
When they arrive at their home, the wood spirit crystals in the box they are in will definitely be counted again, and this time the counting will most likely be done one by one. Even if he hides it in the ring, the ring will be counted. The wolves were cleared out.
And if the wolf clan returns to their home for a very long time this time, Chen Xuan will starve to death in the box again.
The jolts made Chen Xuan feel uncomfortable. It seemed that these greedy wolves did not use a carriage to transport the spirit crystals, but chose a wolf to carry a box of spirit crystals on their backs. The box he was in should have been the lightest, but because he was now hidden inside, it might have become the heaviest.
At the same time, Chen Xuan was also calculating the time. It should be light up in less than two hours now. He didn't know when it would light up in the box, because it was impossible for the box containing the spiritual crystal to have even a tiny bit. The gap between children.
Too bad, it would be nice if there was a crack in this box, so that he could observe the activities of the wolves at any time, and then he might find an opportunity to break out of the box.
It was dark inside the box. Chen Xuan touched the wall of the box with his hand. It was made of a very special kind of wood. This kind of wood is called wind-shelter wood. Boxes made specifically for storing spiritual crystals in this continent are usually made of Use it. The reason why it is named Wind Shelter is because of its fine texture and the healing ability between the wooden boards, so the box is completely airtight after it is made. Thinking that the box was completely sealed, Chen Xuan suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
It turned out that he had only thought about the possibility of starving to death, but ignored that he might have breathed all the air in the box. Over time, the air in the box has become extremely thin. In fact, what Chen Xuan can use for breathing is of course oxygen, but of course the Five Elements Continent is not very clear about this knowledge. Now it is difficult to breathe, and it feels like there is insufficient air.
Fortunately, the space of this box is relatively large, and there is still some air inside, so Chen Xuan has not suffocated due to lack of air for the time being.
It was imperative to break through the box, but Chen Xuan was very annoyed as to how to break through it.
Crush it by hand? That is courting death. It would be nice if I brought the sword given by my master with me. I only need to poke a hole in the board with the tip of the sword.
Why didn't I take it with me when I went out?
Suddenly Chen Xuan thought that he still had two things he could use, namely the ring and the porcelain bottle containing the spiritual crystals.
The ring is crystal clear and made of an unknown stone. The stone is of course very hard. But the ring is a rare thing, and what's more, he is still counting on the ring to escape. If he is damaged because it is used to break through the box, he will be doomed if the orcs open the box in the future.
Without any hesitation, Chen Xuan decided on the plan of using a porcelain bottle to pierce the board of the box.
There are two porcelain vases on Chen Xuan's body, which are used to hold top-grade wood spirit crystals and ordinary wood spirit crystals. Now these two porcelain vases are empty. He held them one in each hand and bumped them gently, but the two porcelain bottles did not look like they were about to break.
what to do? It is too difficult to dig out the box board with a good porcelain bottle, because the mouth and bottom of the porcelain bottle are not sharp, and only by breaking it can it be possible to obtain sharp-edged fragments. Of course, if you hit it hard, you can easily break the porcelain bottle, but the impact will definitely make a sound. This box is carried by a greedy wolf. If there is an obvious sound from the box, the greedy wolf will immediately know that there is something in the box. If you put it down and check it, be good, you will probably be doomed.
The only option was to squeeze, which was Chen Xuan's only choice. Just do it, Chen Xuan desperately grasped the two bottles and squeezed them with all his strength.
Harder, harder, harder. Just when Chen Xuan was desperate, there was a crisp sound and a porcelain bottle broke into two halves. Chen Xuan was overjoyed. Now he had to choose which part of the box to work on.
Chen Xuan decided to make a hole where his eyes were.
Time was running out, so Chen Xuan picked up the fragment and started working, holding it tightly and poking it hard at the board, but at the same time he couldn't move too fast, otherwise it would make a sound.
Fortunately, as long as the fragment didn't leave the board when poking, it wouldn't make a sound, but doing so was very slow.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Xuan felt that a deep pit had been dug out of the board in front of him, and it was not far from being dug through, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But he also stopped his work. Now it was very dangerous to poke with the fragment desperately. If he accidentally poked a big hole, he would be exposed.
The speed became slower, and Chen Xuan gently poked the deep hole with the sharp corner of the fragment. When the fragment left the hole, a fresh air rushed into the box.
Success!
It was still dark outside, and no light came in from the hole, which proved that it was still night.
Wolves can see things at night, so they often move at night, while Bai usually chooses to lie dormant. So Chen Xuan estimated that when it was light, these wolves would choose a hidden place to hide. At that time, it is time for me to find a chance to escape.
As for now, it is still a time when the situation is unclear, and no action can be taken at all.
In the box, he thought about many problems, but he thought about his parents the most. If he can't escape this time, what should his parents do? They must be very sad, and even want to die, especially his mother, will they... No, I must escape alive, no matter what, I must escape. This is Chen Xuan's final determination. Calm down, I must be calm, Chen Xuan warned himself.
Time passed slowly, but after all, a ray of light came out of the hole in front of Chen Xuan, and then after a while, the light became stronger and stronger, and a new one finally came again.
Through the hole, Chen Xuan finally saw the situation he was in.
There is no doubt that he was in a box and was carried by a greedy wolf. In his trance, he saw that he was in a forest now, and the wolf pack might have taken these stolen boxes across the sparsely populated jungle. But Chen Xuan couldn't see clearly how many greedy wolves there were in the team. But there should be at least seventeen or more. This can be determined not only from the number of boxes, but also from the sounds made by the wolves.
The most important thing is how many high-level beastmen participated in the transportation. Maybe all of them participated in the attack, but maybe not all of them, but there should be at least one high-level beastman.
Now Chen Xuan can only observe the situation from one side, and the situation in the other three directions is not clear, so all his inferences have not been confirmed.
After being carried for a while, he finally heard the strange roar of the head wolf. Chen Xuan immediately felt that he had stopped moving. It seems that the wolf pack is looking for a place to rest. The sound of panting like a dog came from all directions. These greedy wolves who were transporting the spirit crystals were already very tired.
Then there was the sound of the box being put down. Chen Xuan nervously paid attention to the activities of the wolf pack. If any wolf came to check the situation inside the box again, he would have to repeat the old trick. Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one opened the box, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The box where Chen Xuan was was not in a good position. A few leaves of grass blocked his view. Only when the wind blew did he see the shadows of some Greedy Wolfs.
There should be a river not far away. Those Greedy Wolfs who were half-tired rushed to drink water, while a tall Greedy Wolf with gray fur turned around the box several times.
"High-level Greedy Wolf!" Chen Xuan secretly said that it was not good. I wonder if this high-level Greedy Wolf was the one who had a fistfight with Elder Luo yesterday. If so, he would be in danger. But his intuition told Chen Xuan that this Greedy Wolf should not be that master. Such a master should not be with the transportation team.
Chen Xuan's feeling was not wrong. This was indeed not the best player in the sneak attack last night.
Fortunately, it seemed that the Greedy Wolf transporting the spirit crystals was only the seventeen and the one that was circling around. Because apart from these, Chen Xuan did not find any other Greedy Wolf movements. It seems that this is just a team specializing in transporting spirit crystals.
This is good. Without more Greedy Wolfs following, his chances of escaping should be much greater.
Chen Xuan estimated that he should take the initiative to attack when something happened.
