Chapter 13: Exploring the Mine Again
The next day
At noon
Han Yi poked his head out of the door like a thief.
He was seen holding a long knife in his right hand and a bulging package in his right hand. Not only that, his slightly wide black robe seemed to be filled with bottles and jars, and it seemed a little tight.
"Huh, I finally got out." Han Yi breathed.
Although disciples without tasks were free to move around during the day, it would be difficult to explain if others saw him dressed like this.
"After all, I still have a little social anxiety!"
"Initially practice, five steps per breath, gradually ten steps per breath... Practice the breath to seek harmony..."
This place is still a certain distance from the 'fire crystal stone' vein, and this distance is just right for practicing 'Flying Swallow Kick'!
Flying Swallow Kick—Swallow Pecking!
Han Yi's legs are like bird beaks.
With a click, debris flew, and an ancient tree was kicked out of a hole about a foot wide.
Flying Swallow Kick—Swallow Walking!
Han Yi secretly took a deep breath in his chest, his body was as swift as a swallow, even though he was carrying a lot of weight, he still shuttled lightly through the mountains and forests like a flying swallow.
[Martial Arts]: Collapsing Mountain Fist (Ordinary level, Features: Stone Crushing, Minor Success 4/20, can be improved); Basic Sword Skills (Ordinary level, Features: Sword Dancing, Minor Success 0/20, can be improved); Flying Swallow Leg (Yellow Level Lower Grade, Entry Level 2/10, can be improved)
This ‘Flying Swallow Leg’ is actually a Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts!
And after entering the door, his overall strength with bare hands also became ‘10~15’
“How can a mountain bandit have a Yellow Level Martial Arts?” He felt more and more that the beast tide was strange.
“There must be something fishy behind this!”
Mineral Vein
At noon, most of the mining disciples had returned to the camp to eat and rest.
According to Han Yi’s experience as a mining disciple, he sneaked through several small paths and turned several corners, and finally arrived at the location in his memory.
He looked strange: "This mine cave is sealed..."
The five-foot-long hole was filled with stones of different sizes.
"Could there be another accident here?"
But now that he was here, Han Yi gritted his teeth. This was not the time to worry.
Collapsing Mountain Fist - Stone Crushing
With brute force, he broke through this 'stone wall'!
"It's so cold!"
Han Yi shivered.
I don't know if it was because the mine cave was abandoned and no one used it, or it was a psychological effect, he felt that the temperature in the mine cave was extremely low, forming a significant temperature difference with the scorching sun outside.
Crack
Han Yi rubbed the lid and lit the tinder.
With the light, he followed the mark he left before and went to the mine cave where Ma Liu had an accident and shouted.
"Hey, this place is also sealed?" Han Yi frowned slightly.
He carefully observed from the gap between the stones several times.
"Except for the darkness, there seems to be nothing unusual..."
He did the same thing and opened up this entrance.
Clang
Han Yi kicked away a few pieces of gravel and leaped over.
"What is that?" Han Yi's eyes narrowed, and there was a hole the size of a human head on the rock wall!
The mine wall here seemed to be relatively weak. Was it hollowed out by Ma Liu? He took the pickaxe and knocked on this place.
"Could it be that the 'yin qi bug' came from the cave opposite?"
This hole was deep and dark. Looking inside, there was no light at all, and no one knew where it led to.
Han Yi had an idea, took a fire starter, lit it and threw it in.
Blil, clatter
The fire starter burned quietly, and there was silence besides that.
"The air is also circulating..."
"It shouldn't be a big problem!"
"Besides, I have prepared this big killer." He touched something in the package.
Bang, bang, bang
Han Yi punched through and expanded the mine wall in a few moves, and jumped over with one step.
"It seems to be even colder here..." Han Yi subconsciously tightened his collar.
He looked around for a few times. It seemed that he was in a cave. Although it was dim, he could vaguely feel the air flowing.
"Strange, there seems to be no danger here. Was it really just an accident that day?"
Han Yi groped forward with the help of the rock wall. His figure seemed calm, but his clenched fists revealed his inner tension.
The cave was extremely wide, and Han Yi walked for a long time but did not reach the end.
"What is this sound?" Han Yi listened attentively.
In the darkness, there were bursts of rustling echoes.
The next moment, a very sad and graceful song came clearly from the darkness.
"Everyone says that having a son is good~ but not knowing that having a daughter is good for the old age of gold and jade..."
"Song? How could there be someone in this cave..."
Han Yi's face changed drastically, and he turned around and wanted to leave!
However, in an instant, he was dazzled and immersed in the singing!
"What a beautiful voice!"
"If the song is beautiful, isn't the person even more beautiful!"
"I really want to go and see it..."
Except for the lingering singing in Han Yi's mind, all other thoughts have disappeared, and the past cautiousness and development have been thrown out of his mind!
He paused for a step, and walked into the darkness with a laugh!
Click
The singing disappeared, and the sound of broken bones being crushed by cowhide boots produced a crisp sound.
The click sound echoed in the cave, causing echoes, and also awakened Han Yi who was immersed in the singing!
"Where is this?"
"Why does the rock wall here feel a little sticky..."
Han Yi's eyes were blurred, as if he had not yet woken up from the beautiful song.
He calmed down, the firelight shone around him, and his face suddenly lost its color.
On the ground, a bunch of dry bones, whether human or animal, were scattered in all directions, and there were tattered clothes and hair entangled next to them.
In the cave, countless spider webs covered the surroundings. Looking closely, it seemed that there were some broken limbs and tattered weapons stuck on them.
And in front, a deep and dark cave was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, emitting bursts of corrupt and foul smells, trying to swallow Han Yi.
"Calm down, calm down, you must stay calm."
Han Yi was a little flustered at this time, and he, who had always been calm, couldn't help but sweat a few times on his head!
rustle, rustle
A subtle sound like an insect crawling sounded, but when Han Yi wanted to listen carefully to identify the direction, the sound suddenly disappeared, as if it was just his illusion.
Quiet, quiet, silent, no noise except for the rapid breathing and heartbeat.
Han Yi felt only the threat and fatality, just like an ordinary person standing on a huge rock that could collapse and press down at any time.
"Go, walk slowly!"
Han Yi did not make any sound and slowly retreated.
Ka La
It seemed that a giant lowered its footsteps and jumped down from a high place.
Han Yi waved his hand quickly, and four or five fire starters scattered around.
Han Yi's pupils dilated a little.
The moment the fire starter landed, a giant spider the size of a boulder with a human face on its back hesitated not far from Han Yi!
Bang!
The giant spider jumped up!
The fire went out!
Han Yi's pupils shrank. Without thinking, he turned around and ran quickly, mobilizing the blood and qi in his legs.
He stopped.
He saw that the giant spider had been hanging upside down in front of him like a ghost, and the pale face of the woman on the giant spider was opening and closing.
"Help me, kind-hearted people, have you seen my good daughter, Nannan?"
