The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 136: Underground Excavation
"Second brother, if we help you dig, will it speed up the process?"

Lao Niu asked at this time.

The little boar shook its head like a wind chime.

"Brother, this is not on the ground, you don't understand. You know, if we go straight up from our current position, it's about two thousand feet, and it's at least one thousand feet away from the valley where we fell into before."

"It's a thousand feet deep. What's more, how big is the entire West Mountain area? It must be at least a hundred miles in radius. We don't know how big the area blocked by the Ice Slaves is, so we have to run at least 150 miles away."

"Deep underground like this, you can't see the sky, there's no sunlight, you can't breathe, and there's mud all around you. You can't even determine the direction. Big brother, your brute force is really not enough."

"Why can I do this? Because I have cultivated earth spirit roots. I have a bloodline talent. I can use my iron mouth to vibrate the soil and retrieve confirmation information. I don't rely on my brute force to dig. That is a dead end."

"At the very least, how do you ensure that the hole you're digging is a straight line, rather than getting deeper and deeper?"

"Of course, if you encounter rocks that you can't get around, big brother and third brother, you can show your skills."

"So the question now is, who can guarantee that I can dig through to the ground in three days? What if I don't dig far enough and get caught by the ice slaves?"

Hearing this, the old cow fell silent. Because the amount of digging was huge and there was no treasure like a storage belt, a lot of soil would be dug out. The little boar also used its own iron mouth to vibrate and reinforce and pressurize the dug soil on both sides.

But once it and Wang Wu entered the cave, they would have to fill it up at any time to cut off their retreat.

So unless it changes from its current size to the size of a small mouse, the whole plan won't work.

"Oh, it would be great if I could have magical powers that can do whatever I want."

The old cow said worriedly.

After hearing this, Wang Wu thought for a moment and said, "Little Pig, Old Cow can postpone entering the tunnel for three days. During these three days, I will help you dig and try to dig more. Besides, since Lang Mie asked Bing Nu to seal the mountain that day, it means that he really can't spare any time for the time being. Maybe we are too anxious."

The little boar looked up at Wang Wu's skeleton and forced a smile. "Third brother, I didn't expect you to have anticipated this and lost weight in advance. It's okay. Come with me to dig. We'll dig as much as we can. Even if we can't escape in the end, it's worth it for the three of us to become sworn brothers."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, crow's mouth, gray cow's legs, okay..."

"Brother, shut up!"

The little boar jumped three feet high, as if it was greatly stimulated.

Wang Wu was confused. Why?
Because it was the first time he heard Lao Niu say this.

The little boar helplessly hit his head with his trotters a few times, "Third brother, you don't know that my eldest brother is the gray ox leg. Moreover, do you know how many times he has mentioned it in the past few months? I really can't stand it anymore!"

"Stop talking, stop talking, can't I just shut up from now on?"

The old cow turned around dejectedly and continued to confront the tree's heart.

Wang Wu didn't take it seriously, and the little boar gave the old cow a please gesture, then took the spiritual fruit for supply and led Wang Wu into the cave.

Now the hole is dug with a diameter of one meter. The little boar's body has miraculously shrunk to one and a half meters and can pass through it easily.

Although Wang Wu's height was almost 2.30 meters, he was too thin. He could still move around normally if he felt a little pinched.

But the old cow is really no match. This guy has become fatter and stronger in the past few months. When he stands up, he is five meters tall. His two big horns alone are nearly one and a half meters long each.

Taking into account the horizontal and vertical dimensions, it is almost like a warrior entering a cave.

So it's no wonder that the little boar got angry. Fortunately, it could really dig the ground, and it grew up in this place for a few months, cultivating its earth spirit roots and advancing to the eighth level. Otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to handle it.

The little boars took a deep breath before entering the cave.

Wang Wu didn't care. He followed the little wild boar in this narrow cave, turning left and right, up and down, which was more confusing than a maze.

Didn’t we agree that you can draw a horizontal straight line?
But he didn't ask. Instead, he trusted the little boar very much now.

Although he is not good at digging, his high perception of level 15 is still very strong. Even if there is soil all around, he can still clearly perceive some situations.

For example, he can tell where there are rocks and where there are crisscrossing tree roots. Really, the underground environment is too complicated.

The little boar was able to find the exact direction in such a situation and even dig a hole out of the ground. It was really amazing.

After traveling for about fifty or sixty miles, Wang Wu was actually unable to determine his direction. If there was no hole in the ground as a reference, he would even lose the concept of up and down.

Unable to determine what is up and what is down?
This is actually the most dangerous, unless there are specific instruments or magical tools from the world of immortal cultivation.

Unfortunately, none of them have it.

Everything depends on the little boar's bloodline talent.

After walking about another twenty or thirty miles, the little boar suddenly stopped.

"Third brother, I have only dug so far. You take a rest first, I will dig first. There is a large rock layer ahead, we have to go around it. This is actually the most troublesome and will delay things the most."

"Why do we have to go around? But, little pig, how are you sure there is a large rock formation ahead?"

Wang Wu asked curiously. "It's simple, but you won't understand even if I tell you. Basically, I can use the vibration of my iron mouth to vaguely know the situation within a radius of more than ten miles. Especially in such an underground, if I'm lucky, I can even know the situation dozens of miles away. I rely on this method to determine the direction. Otherwise, if I dig randomly, I will really dig my own grave."

The little pig said it very seriously, but Wang Wu really understood it.

This is clearly a shock reflection radar!

Awesome!
"Wait a minute, let me dig first, and you show me the direction to dig."

"also."

The little boar was indifferent. It still had no hope for Wang Wu's help. How dare it challenge my bloodline talent and special skills?
"Just dig in this direction. If you dig in the wrong direction, I will make a sound. Don't worry about the soil you dig out. I will use the iron mouth to vibrate and reinforce it with pressure."

"Row!"

Wang Wu came to the front and roughly sensed the digging direction of the little boar. He then directly stretched out his bear claws without accumulating strength or deliberately increasing the strength. He just grabbed it lightly, and in an instant the soil, which was not much less hard than rock, fell like a splash of water.

To be honest, Wang Wu himself didn't feel anything. It was like he was cutting tofu. What feeling could there be when cutting tofu?
Add to that his 61 points of strength, and it becomes really easy.

It was just that he couldn't move freely in this excavation environment, so he simply turned his body half sideways, like a small tunnel boring machine, and his bear claws were like five blades.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
There was a line from left to right, a line from right to left, and a line from top to bottom. Basically, a layer of soil about 20 to 30 centimeters thick was cut off.

It's not difficult at all.

Even if you occasionally encounter a stone or something else, it only takes a little effort.

He wasn't even too worried about his direction going off track, because he could constantly correct it through the hole in the ground behind him. Besides, he also had the professional little monster, Little Boar.

Anyway, he thinks digging the ground is so easy and digging holes is so fun.

Even after a few minutes, when he became proficient, the advancement speed became even faster, and the sound of "swish swish" was endless.

Of course, he was not proud. What was there to be proud of? The little boar behind him didn't say a word. The effect of the iron mouth vibration of that guy was amazing. What was he, right?

They dug forward like this for at least an hour in one breath. The little boar behind them didn't make a sound because the hole Wang Wu dug was so straight.

Finally, the little boar spoke, seeming a little tired. Well, why are you tired? You just need to compact the soil in the back.

"Third brother, are you tired?"

"what?"

Wang Wu looked back in surprise. No one could see each other in the dark, but his level 15 danger perception could clearly detect the little boar's expression, which seemed to be a little resentful.

It's not what you are resentful about.

"I'm not tired. We've only just begun. I think I can keep digging until dark. By the way, little pig, you just said there was a huge rock formation. Why didn't I encounter it? Should we take a detour?"

Wang Wu was quite worried. He was not afraid of the rock layer, but was afraid that it would affect the overall route planning of the little boar.

The little boar was grunting and saying something incomprehensible.

"Third brother, does your paw hurt?"

"Hurt? Why should it hurt? I don't feel any pain at all! Look, look!"

Wang Wu casually swiped his claws and left a one-meter-long claw mark above his head, causing dirt to fall off.

The little boar seemed to be choked and coughed violently for a while, then said faintly: "We are now in that rock layer, and you have almost opened it up. No, third brother, you are too mean. Since you have cultivated a ninth-grade innate demon weapon, why are you hiding it from us?"

"Am I considered a ninth-grade innate demon soldier?"

Wang Wu was stunned. According to the data on the attribute column, he still needed to accumulate 988 points of refined gold energy.

"Ah, if this doesn't count, then what does? Look, although this rock layer is not black iron, it is basically obsidian, much harder than ordinary rocks. My four fangs can only poke a few holes in it, unlike you, who can cut it like tofu. If I had known that you had this ability, I would have brought you here to dig. We would have dug it all through by now."

"Yes, by the way, I think your claws are not necessarily inferior to my brother's black bull horns. This is absolutely a genuine ninth-grade innate demon soldier."

The little boar said this with great confidence.

This confused Wang Wu.

But now is not the time to study this matter, he thinks he can continue digging for another day.

"Shall we continue digging?"

"No need to dig. Just expand this rock layer to a size that Big Brother can pass through. I will be responsible for the cleanup. We don't need to take a detour this time. It can save at least three days."

As soon as the little boar finished speaking, Wang Wu suddenly had a very bad feeling. Without saying a word, he rushed over and pinned the little boar down. Almost at the same time, the ground shook violently, as if the world was coming to an end. The hole they had dug before collapsed, and even the rock layer they were in cracked into several huge cracks.
