Chapter 549 There Is only Death and No Life!
"call"
Ding Xue breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped directly on the ground regardless of the image.
In the past three days, I have escaped from the city and fled through the mountains and forests. I have to be constantly vigilant about strange attacks, and also be careful to guard against other monks. In the end, I have to face a desperate dilemma. If not Wei Hong found a glimmer of hope, and they might have vanished into nothing.
Therefore, Ding Xue was exhausted both physically and mentally at the moment, unable to muster any strength after her mind suddenly relaxed.
On the other hand, Wei Hong, although he stopped digging, still had a solemn expression on his face and showed no intention of relaxing. From time to time, he would still stick to the wall to listen to what was going on outside.
Neither of them spoke, but rested quietly.
After more than half an hour, Wei Hong raised his head to look at Ding Xue and said, "Fellow Daoist Ding, we are temporarily safe now. The mist cannot spread. What do you have in mind next?"
To be honest, Wei Hong did not expect this situation, but it was also the only hope he could think of in a desperate situation. If this cave did not happen to exist, they might not be able to get rid of the weirdness and dig a tunnel.
As for now, Wei Hong thinks it should be safe.
There is a "Four Elephant Array" guarding the entrance of the cave, blocking the fog from spreading in.
There is also a "Four Elephant Formation" above the tunnel entrance deep in the cave. He believes that as long as no one destroys these two formations, their positions will never be exposed. Moreover, the first half of the tunnel has been blocked by him. , the strange fog cannot spread, so it is naturally considered safe.
Wei Hong actually had ideas and plans for the next step, but he wanted to listen to Ding Xue's advice and see if she had any better ideas.
But Ding Xue shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know. I'd better follow Fellow Daoist Wei's arrangements in everything. As long as I can escape, I can do whatever Fellow Daoist Wei wants me to do!"
Wei Hong frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed, then nodded and said: "In this case, Fellow Daoist Ding will meditate for a while and try his best to recover his spiritual power."
Since Ding Xue had no better idea, he would naturally follow the original plan.
In fact, when digging the tunnel, Wei Hong figured out that since the mist could not affect the underground and could not spread, their only chance of survival was not to stay underground and wait for death, but to dig a path leading to the mist. The correct escape route is to leave the strange realm from the underground tunnel.
After all, they can hide underground, why can't they dig tunnels to escape from the treacherous realm?
If they stay here all the time, let alone whether the mist can dissipate, their living materials alone will not be able to support them for too long. If the mist does not dissipate, or even continues to spread and expand, then they will be trapped to death sooner or later. Here it is.
Therefore, the best way at the moment is to dig a tunnel to escape. This is also the only escape route. Any other method is not suitable for them.
With their current cultivation level and the extremely sharp flying swords in their hands, it would not be a problem to dig a tunnel leading outside the Strange Territory. The living supplies in their hands are enough to support them until they leave the Strange Territory.
Moreover, Wei Hong had observed when the mist faded. They were not far from the edge of the realm before. They were only a few miles away at most, and definitely not more than ten miles away.
In this way, they only need to choose the right direction and dig straight forward.
Of course, there is no need to tell Ding Xueming about this plan now. After they have rested enough and recovered their spiritual power, they can elaborate on this plan with her.
After thinking carefully, Wei Hong also sat cross-legged on the ground.
He and Ding Xue each started meditating, trying to recover all the consumed spiritual energy as soon as possible.
As for the other monks outside, they were not within Wei Hong's consideration at all.
If there are no special means, or if the Qingyun Sect and the others do not help, those casual cultivators will basically die, and it is absolutely impossible for them to escape from the strange realm.
Even if they have hundreds or thousands of evil-killing talismans like Wei Hong in their hands, they can only resist for a while, but they can't really escape at all, because the weird people outside are unable to kill them all at this time. From the moment they were surrounded, The ending was already doomed from the beginning.
What he needs to consider now is how to escape without caring about others.
Half a day later, Wei Hong and Ding Xue both opened their eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, how are you resting?" Wei Hong asked with concern.
Ding Xue's face improved a lot, and she nodded and said, "All spiritual power has been restored. Fellow Daoist Wei, what should we do next?"
"Eat something first and talk while you eat!"
Wei Hong took out the dry food and gave a portion to Ding Xue.
During the period before their departure, they not only prepared a lot of things, but also specially made some of the monster meat into dried meat, which came in handy at this time.
While eating dried meat, Wei Hong said to Ding Xue: "Fellow Daoist Ding, you also know the current situation. There are many murderous intentions on the ground. We must not go back. If we go back, we will die or not."
"What we need to do now is to find a way to leave the scope of the strange realm before we can return to the ground."
"I have thought about it. If we want to escape from the mysterious realm, we have only one way to go now, and that is to dig a tunnel to leave."
"You must have seen it when the fog faded before. We are not far from the edge of the mist. As long as we keep digging, we should be able to dig a tunnel away from the scope of the mist."
"It won't matter even if it's further away. We have enough supplies to last for half a year, and it shouldn't take half a year to dig the tunnel. Fellow Daoist Ding, what do you think?"
Wei Hong told Ding Xue all his thoughts and plans without hiding anything.
The reason for this was that he actually wanted to use the treasure-hunting rat in Ding Xue's hand to guide them in the direction.
After all, the treasure-hunting mouse Bai Ling is extremely talented and can find a glimmer of life in the dark. Now that it has just come in handy in this situation, Wei Hong naturally cannot use it.
After hearing this, Ding Xue pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, it all depends on Fellow Daoist Wei, I have no objection."
Since he can't return to the ground now, he has no choice but to dig a tunnel. Ding Xue understands this and will naturally not object.
"Okay, as long as Fellow Daoist Ding agrees!" Wei Hong nodded, and then proposed: "At that time, we will need Fellow Daoist Ding's spiritual pet Bai Ling to make more efforts to guide us in the direction, so that we can dig out a path to the treacherous world as soon as possible without wasting our efforts. Extraterrestrial tunnels.”
"No problem, as long as Bai Ling can come in handy!"
Ding Xue agreed immediately. There was no reason to refuse such a thing.
