Chapter 53 Digging Tunnel

In just two hours, Yang Ping'an had arrived at the hill outside the poisonous miasma that he had explored last time, and was filled with endless desire for the core of the poisonous miasma.

Judging from the momentum just now, this place should be Dugu Bo’s secret medicine garden, which is also the location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Only here is there a real way to change one’s destiny.

This is a hill about 500 meters high. There is some kind of heat wave in the air, and the whole mountain seems to be shrouded in green gas. It looks very mysterious and extremely dangerous.

Yang Ping'an knew very well that with his current strength, it was completely impossible for him to force his way into the poisonous miasma. There was a poison array set up by Dugu Bo himself, and even a Soul Douluo-level warrior would find it difficult to break through.

But Yang Ping'an was well prepared. The entire poison miasma was shrouded in the air, but there was no poison gas underground. Could the poison gas penetrate into the stone? Especially in some deeper places, the ground can often isolate the poison gas.

This is the only solution Yang Ping'an can think of at this stage, which is to dig a tunnel from the outside.

The entire hill is only 500 meters wide, and even the range of the poisonous miasma is only 1,000 meters. This means that as long as you dig a 1,000-meter tunnel, you can almost enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. If that doesn't work, you can just dig through the entire mountain.

If an ordinary soul master wanted to dig a tunnel in this kind of rocky mountain, it would be completely impossible. However, Yang Ping'an's Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's attached soul bone was extremely sharp and could easily tear apart even stone.

Yang Ping'an did it right away. He found a relatively hidden place and started digging a tunnel.

The claws of the dark gold bear were extremely sharp, and cutting through soil and stone was as easy as cutting tofu. A hole one meter wide and two meters high immediately appeared on the ground.

As for the cut soil and stones, they were directly collected into the soul guide using soul power. For this operation, Yang Pingan also specially prepared a soul guide with a larger space, which was sixty square meters, enough for him to dig a certain distance.

Every time the soul guide was about to be filled, the soil and gravel in the soul guide would be discarded somewhere.

Even during this process, Yang Ping'an summoned the Purple Golden Mastiff to guard the entrance of the tunnel, and if it smelled something particularly dangerous, it would take action immediately.

Thanks to the incomparable sharpness of the Dark Gold Bear Claws, the speed of digging the tunnel is very fast. The soul guide can be filled about six times every hour, which means that about 180 meters can be dug every hour, and the entire tunnel can be dug through in at most one night.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is worthy of its name as the Earth Ripper, and its external soul bone is extremely powerful and very suitable for digging. If other people knew that their Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone was used to dig tunnels, would they say it was a waste of treasure?

As for the direction of tunnel digging, just try to dig along the core of the hill. With the huge size of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, it will definitely not be missed.

As the tunnel was dug deeper and deeper, the temperature inside the entire tunnel became higher and higher. This made Yang Ping'an more convinced that the direction of excavation was correct. After all, there were Yangquan and Yinquan in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and the temperature was indeed relatively high.

Yang Pingan worked almost non-stop for seven hours, that is to say, he finally dug the last stone, which is the most difficult section of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, after about 1,200 meters. But Yang Pingan was very excited, knowing that this was the final sprint. As long as he didn't dig directly into the spring, there would be no big problem. However, with the temperature of the spring, he couldn't get close to it with his current strength.

As the last stone was dug out, a burst of light suddenly appeared in the entire tunnel, and the entire tunnel was completely dug through.

After coming out of the tunnel, what came into view was a small hill, or rather an inverted cone-shaped valley. There were waves of heat coming from me, and even a strong smell of sulfur.

Moreover, there is a different world inside the entire valley. At the very edge of the valley are two springs, one red and one blue. The two springs are actually together. Although the red and the blue exist alternately, they do not interfere with each other, as if they have formed some kind of balance, just like the Tai Chi in the previous life, with Yin and Yang complementing and restraining each other.

Especially on the ground, although it is night now, under the moonlight, all kinds of stars are shining, as if they have infinite magic.

Although the light was dim, Yang Ping'an was more excited than ever before, because these twinkling stars were the light emitted by the fairy grass, and this was the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire that he had always dreamed of.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping'an's original tiredness disappeared instantly, and his face was filled with endless excitement.

Yang Ping'an has always been constrained by his innate soul power level. No matter how hard Yang Ping'an practices, he is still much slower than those real geniuses. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire is the only place that can change his destiny. It is also the only place in the entire original work that can change his martial soul and innate soul power.

Thinking of this, Yang Pingan forced himself to suppress his inner excitement and began to plan the next step. The time now was very short and he had to race against time.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was at the hillside of the entire valley. He took out a rope from the soul guide and quickly fell to the ground along the rope.

As he looked at the various herbs all over the ground, Yang Ping'an's eyes revealed a fierceness and even endless hostility. He had been thinking about revenge and how to become stronger, and the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were the key to success or failure.

Although Yang Ping'an tried his best to study various books on medicinal herbs as to the magical herbs of Douluo Continent, his real understanding was still very limited. The only things he was really familiar with were the eight-petal fairy orchid and the strange chrysanthemum that he had found in the books. But Yang Ping'an did not think so much. Since he had come here, he definitely could not return empty-handed.

The entire Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire seemed to be covered with all kinds of medicinal herbs. Many of them were what Yang Ping'an had seen in books, but many more were completely unfamiliar to him. And judging from the situation, the proportion of poisonous herbs here was probably extremely high, and it would be very dangerous if one was not careful.

But Yang Ping'an was well prepared and took out a set of armor directly from the soul guide. This was a full-body armor that could cover every part of the body, but because it was made of sheet iron armor, it would be more flexible to move. Although it could not avoid the invasion of poisonous gas, it could prevent accidental contact with certain poisonous herbs during the process of picking herbs.

Especially since this set of armor actually comes with iron boots and gloves, he is not afraid of walking among all kinds of poisonous weeds at all.

After everything was ready, Yang Ping'an began to dig various medicinal herbs. In particular, Yang Ping'an prepared thousands of jade boxes for this operation. It didn't matter if he didn't recognize the magical herbs, he would dig them first, at least he wouldn't let others get them.
