The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 137 Scorched Earth Tactics
Wang Wu didn’t know what was happening outside, but the whole earth was like a soft bread, being kneaded madly by a pair of invisible big hands.

The rumbling sound echoed from above to below, and then from below to the surface.

It lasted for almost ten seconds before it stopped.

"Third brother, what happened? We have no way to go back. Big brother was buried alive. We are buried alive too. Wuuuu! We are going to die!"

The little boar was so frightened that his body was shaking like a sieve and he was about to collapse in despair.

Wang Wu was also in great fear because he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that the human cultivators have already attacked us? This is a huge fireball!"

"You said that the human cultivators released Heaven and Earth Destruction? How come they came so quickly? No, Third Brother, let me show you the direction. We have to go back and reunite with Big Brother quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

The little boar was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down.

Then he was held down by Wang Wu!
"Pighead, calm down. You are just a little monster who has just been promoted to the eighth rank. What else can you do with your strength except digging the ground?"

"The old bull is obviously about to condense the Tongqiao Demon Pill. It also has a seventh-grade companion spirit vine. It is in the heart of the tree, where it will not be hungry or thirsty. It does not need you or me to save it. Moreover, given the environment around the heart of the tree, a collapse will not affect it!"

"It's us instead. We have to save ourselves!"

"What should we do, big brother? Will it panic and run to save us in a hurry, but end up sinking into the ground and getting lost, unable to find us and come back? Woohoo, big brother, you died miserably!"

"Old Cow is not as stupid as you!"

"Okay, third brother, eldest brother said that you have the qualities of a great general. Now I admire you and I will listen to you. How can we save ourselves?" the little boar asked eagerly.

"You have to help me determine the upward direction, and then we have to dig out within three days, otherwise you will die!" Wang Wu said in a deep voice. Now their weakness lies in the little wild boar, which can only hold its breath for three days.

"Upwards? Then won't we be exposed?"

"Being exposed is better than dying."

"What should we do, brother? It knew we would save ourselves, so it would not lose its composure. But in order to avoid getting separated from us, it would stay firmly at the heart of the tree. Thousands of years later, it turned into a zombie. Woohoo, brother, your death is so pitiful!"

Well, this pighead is here again!

Wang Wu could only explain patiently,

"Shut up, Lao Niu is smarter than you. The big fireball just now either hit the top of West Mountain and flattened it, or it hit nearby, and the water from the West River might flood in."

"Even if it doesn't flood in, this is the secret base of the human race. Do you think the human monks will send an advance team to take over this place?"

"I guess the old bull will guess that we must want to dig out, and it will wait for us on the surface."

"And then, it's in such a mess. What if it gets discovered by human monks while it's waiting, or is captured and taken to the Death-Seeking Camp..."

"Then there is nothing we can do. If the old cow is smart enough, it will find a way to get itself captured and sent to a death camp, because that is the only way to survive right now."

Wang Wu spoke slowly.

"No, Third Brother, what do you mean?"

The little boar was startled.

"The big fireballs are falling, which means that the human race has begun to fiercely attack the Great Snow Mountain. How do you think they will attack? Will they surround three sides and leave one side open to undermine the defenders' will to defend, or will they confront you head-on to delay the main force of your army while the elite squads roam around to attack your manpower in other areas? Or will they surround a point and attack the reinforcements?"

"I, I don't know. I have never experienced such a battle in my life. Those human cultivators are so disloyal. We haven't even started migrating yet, so why did they start fighting? Why didn't they warn us in advance?"

Wang Wu was speechless. This was a brutal war of life and death, and he even told them in advance. Are they playing a turn-based game here?
"Forget it. From now on, hold your breath and don't waste your energy. Decide on the right direction for me."

Not wanting to reason with the little boar anymore, Wang Wu dug upwards along the crack in the huge rock layer.

Digging at this time was not difficult. The gaps in the rock layer were large, and when encountering impassable areas, a few claws could solve the problem.

After getting out of the rock layer, it was the little boar's turn to take action.

Because the ground collapsed, the soil structure changed. No matter how sharp Wang Wu's claws were, he was still helpless when faced with a mass of loose sand and mud.

However, the vibration of the little boar's iron mouth can stabilize the surrounding soil structure.

Just like that, when they encountered the rock layer, Wang Wu took action.

When encountering loose soil, the little boars will clear the way.

The direction must also be determined in the middle.

After about half a day, they actually dug to the surface from more than 3,000 meters underground.

To be specific, they dug to a place more than thirty meters from the ground and encountered a large rock layer.

Wang Wu dug a big hole here and asked the little boar to wait there while he went up to scout.

"Don't worry, don't make any noise, and don't move rashly. I will definitely come back."

He comforted the little boar, who was terrified and had tears in his eyes.

"Third brother, how about I go up with you? If we have to die, we'll die together. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of being left alone again..."

"Shut up, you pighead. Calm down. You need to learn to calm down! Just wait here. I will be back in an hour at most."

Wang Wu could only force the order. Alas, he was speechless.

Then he left the rock layer and slowly dug upwards like a fish.

At this distance, his level 15 danger perception can lock onto the ground, so there is no need to worry about getting lost, including the little boar. As long as it doesn't move, it won't get lost.

The situation outside is a bit bad, as if it has turned into a scorched earth.

Wang Wu tried to make his movements as gentle as possible. Although he had level 15 passive stealth, he was definitely not good enough on a battlefield of this level.

It took him nearly ten minutes to slowly dig into the ground. Without even sticking his head out to look, the pheromones transmitted back by his level 15 danger perception alone were enough to make him despair.

First of all, Xishan is gone.

It was really gone. A mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles and a relative altitude of at least three thousand meters was blown away just like that.

The ancient trees, grass, rocks, all disappeared.

Now it is just a flat pit with no end in sight.

There was no ice, no fire, nothing at all, not to mention the ice slaves.

With such a powerful force, if they were not three thousand meters underground, and if the entire West Mountain had not been able to withstand it all, Wang Wu felt that they would have been wiped out long ago.

At this moment, Wang Wu actually hoped that the old cow would not be so smart and just stay in the heart of the tree honestly and never come out.

In this case, the heart of the tree is actually the safest place.

He even wanted to return to the heart of the tree.

But that is impossible.

First of all, the way back has been destroyed. It is seventy or eighty miles away. Even if the tree core structure is not destroyed, how many days will it take them to dig it out?
The little boar can only hold its breath underground for three days.

Once it died, Wang Wu lost his direction and died in the end.

Alas, if he had known this would happen, he would have helped dig the hole ten days in advance. Maybe they would have escaped by now...

No, that's not the case.

Wang Wu looked vaguely towards the east through the mud. He was not sure what time it was. The sky was dark and the Great Snow Mountain was not visible, but the North Mountain and the South Mountain were indeed no longer visible.

"The center of the explosion was in the West Mountain, but the South Mountain and North Mountain a hundred miles away were flattened? This shock wave is likely to spread out for a thousand miles!"

"Grass!"

Wang Wu couldn't help but swear and quickly took back his previous thoughts.

Fortunately, they did not slip out in advance, otherwise, they would have died.

However, why can’t I see any human cultivators or hear any sounds of fierce fighting?

Wang Wu plucked up his courage and poked his head out again, looking into the distance, but he could see nothing, including the dark fog-like clouds in the sky, and there was no flash of sword or anything like that.

There was not even any wind, as if this was a place that had been forgotten since time immemorial.

Wang Wu was stunned for a few seconds, then turned back decisively, went down, and brought the little boar up.

Maybe this is a window period.

They must escape at this time.

"It's over! It's really the end of heaven and earth! Everything is over! We are hopeless!"

After the little boar came out, he was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help breaking down and crying.

Wang Wu was so angry that he knocked it out with one claw!

So this is the legendary bad teammate.

He is usually very smart, why does he act like a madman now?

Fortunately, the little boar's crying didn't seem to have any effect as it was too quiet around.

Wang Wu simply identified the direction and ran to the center of the pit with the little boar in his hand. The reason was very simple. According to the crater theory on the earth, the probability of a second big fireball falling here was very small.

In addition, he also hopes to find Lao Niu here.

Without Lao Niu, the logistics team leader, they would have starved to death, because everything within a thousand miles would have turned into scorched earth.

After running for thirty or forty miles in one breath, Wang Wu finally reached the edge of the pit.

And while he was running so wildly, there was no sound around him, which showed that this wave was truly extinction-destroying.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt an extremely desperate feeling in his heart, as if some super supreme terror was about to befall him, so much so that even his level 15 danger perception could not hold up.

Looking back suddenly, Wang Wu was petrified on the spot.

I saw that in the south direction, many miles away, a huge fireball like the scorching sun was rising again, and then falling straight down.

"Made!"

Wang Wu pressed the little wild boar under him, snatched the three spiritual fruits from the guy's small package, ate them madly, and prepared to activate the bronze head and iron bones.

It was at this moment that the entire world seemed to shake, but there was no sound of explosion. Instead, the sky and earth lit up, with brilliant light emitting.

What followed was an overwhelming shock wave that swept across the surroundings, and it was completely unavoidable within a thousand miles.

However, Wang Wu did not suffer too much impact here, but the sky became more turbid and dark, and a large amount of mud, sand and dust fell down like a super sandstorm. It was so dark that you couldn't even see your hand in front of you.

"Wait, this big fireball landed 1,500 miles away?"

"I understand what the human monks want to do!"

Wang Wu laughed bitterly in his heart, yes, he understood.

It's just a scorched earth tactic.

Surrounding the snow-capped mountains, everything around them turned into scorched earth.

There was no grass, no life, no support, and even no spiritual energy to absorb, because the dust that was rolled up was enough to cover the nine heavens.

Without sunshine, there is no golden spiritual essence.

It's really vicious, but this is indeed what war is like.

Thinking of a face-to-face, one-on-one fight? That’s wishful thinking!

You are not even given the chance to unleash your magical powers.

Directly destroy your environmental ecology!
I’ll starve you to death, I’ll trap you to death, and then I’ll win with one final battle!

"So this is also a war to see who has more resources and who has better logistical support!"

"I understand now. The dead branches of the tree are the key!"

Wang Wu suddenly realized.
