Chapter 59: Ghostly Actions
Although there were still thirty points of good luck remaining, Geng Xuan did not continue to improve it.

After spending some time pondering over the experiences he had gained from improving his raccoon-control skills, blowgun darts, and featherless arrows, he fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, he woke up with his eyes open at daybreak.

After having breakfast with Chen Xiaoyu, Geng Xuan came into the underground tunnel.

Although this tunnel is very deep underground, it is very well ventilated and you won't feel stuffy even if you stay in it for a long time.

In addition, the place was hidden enough and both ends were blocked with ingenious techniques, so there was no need to worry about anyone sneaking in through the tunnel network under the market. In Geng Xuan's opinion, this was an excellent place for training.

If he were on the ground, in order to avoid exposing his true progress of cultivation and level of strength, he would not dare to let go.

Even when a person is practicing, he cannot show his true level at will.

But in this dark tunnel deep underground, Geng Xuan had no such concerns.

After a while, he waved his hands and threw out darts and flying knives, accurately grasping the power that could be achieved by the featherless arrows of the minor success realm.

I will try to see how to better utilize the master level's dissection technique and the great success level's blowing arrow ability in an environment like a tunnel.

Most of the time, he was running in the tunnel.

At the beginning, Geng Xuan was mainly running in a normal posture, and at most he incorporated the techniques and tricks of the raccoon leaping technique into his running and jumping.

Make the speed faster and move left and right more agilely.

But gradually, he no longer just moved normally with his feet, he tried to run on the slightly concave side walls on both sides of the tunnel.

He was running along the left wall of the tunnel one moment, and in the next moment he leaped lightly to the right wall, and even the direction of his running could change 180 degrees in an instant.

In the end, when Geng Xuan felt that he had absorbed most of the experience and skills of Master Jingli's flying technique, he was no longer running just on his feet, but using his hands and feet at the same time, moving lightly and agilely in the dark tunnel like a ghost.

Not only can he move freely and quickly under and on both sides of the tunnel, but the mobility of his hands and feet has also been fully developed.

He can run on the ground with both feet, lightly and nimbly.

You can also use your hands and feet to move quickly and flexibly on the left and right walls, floating unpredictably like a ghost.

You can even use your hands as the main part, stick yourself firmly to the top of the tunnel, and move like a spider.

In the end, Geng Xuan couldn't help but think that the dark tunnel was the perfect environment for a master to display his flying skills.

If it were on an open, flat ground with good visibility, even a master's level raccoon flying technique would not be able to perform so nearly perfectly.

……

Geng Xuan spent half a day getting a relatively clear grasp of his current strength, then returned to the ground, had lunch, and took a good rest.

He took the opportunity to take inventory of his belongings, making sure that all the necessary items were with him and that the rest were left at home.

After doing all this, he returned to the underground tunnel.

Soon, he arrived at the end of the tunnel in the direction of the Changpingfang gate, and through the hidden cave he dug, he sneaked into the tunnel network under Kangleji again.

Not long after, he quietly arrived near the area where the six children were.

He looked around, then gently stuck to the left wall of the tunnel and climbed up silently using his hands and feet, approaching the location of the six iron cages, and finally stopped in a blind spot.

His body remained motionless, as if integrated with the surrounding rock walls.

Time passed quietly, and soon it was time to feed the animals every day. But today, the two "feeders" who came regularly had already merged deeply with the earth and were naturally unable to come.

Although the six children cannot judge the time accurately, their stomachs are the most sensitive alarm clocks.

When their stomachs started to growl, they, who had learned to be quiet, started crying again out of hunger and panic.

Geng Xuan, who was lurking in the dark, remained unmoved.

Geng Xuan himself was not sure whether this wait would yield the results he expected.

He just thought it was very likely after careful analysis.

The basis for his judgment was that, although the two people who were directly responsible for daily feeding had been killed by him, Geng Xuan believed that it was impossible for anyone else except these two people to really turn a blind eye to this matter.

Geng Xuan felt that he had done his best by being able to sneak here and wait for the "rabbit" today.

If the result he expected did not appear, he could only blame these children for their bad luck.

In any case, he will not come here again tomorrow, or for a long time to come.

As Geng Xuan waited patiently, time passed and the child's crying gradually faded away.

About two hours after the usual feeding time, his calm mood suddenly began to ripple slightly.

Not only did he hear a slight clattering sound, but with his hands and feet clasped tightly on the rock, he could even feel a slight vibration every time the sound came.

Geng Xuan's eyes moved, and he looked towards the tunnel where the thin man appeared and disappeared in the past.

In the dark tunnel, there was a faint flicker of fire.

The sound of the fire became clearer and clearer, and the fire became brighter and brighter.

Even the children locked in the iron cages realized something. Their crying sounds, which had been getting smaller and smaller, suddenly disappeared. They all huddled in the cages with fear in their eyes, silent and in fear.

……

"Duh-duh-"

A blind man came out of the tunnel holding a burning torch, completely illuminating the underground space.

Moreover, a figure who was walking in front of him and stepped out of the cave before him, with an iron rod in both hands for walking, was distorted into a dancing evil ghost. As the flames jumped, he waved his claws and fangs on the rock wall, looking weird and inexplicable.

The ugly beggar with the deformed leg had a cold and sharp look in his eyes. He first scanned the six iron cages and then saw that all six children were inside, not one more or one less. His gaze softened a little.

Then he used his iron rod to carefully walk around the underground space where six iron cages were placed, but still found nothing.

Then he looked towards several dark tunnel entrances, but also found nothing. He said in a deep voice:
"Go over there and have a look."

The blind man holding a torch ran quickly into the tunnel leading to the peddler's study. As he went away, the light in the underground space quickly dimmed.

The ugly beggar with a deformed leg stood there quietly with his iron stick, motionless, as if waiting for the results of his subordinates' investigation.

Suddenly, the iron rod that was tucked under his left armpit was swung out without warning.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound and sparks flying, a flying knife that broke through the darkness and quickly approached his forehead was shattered by a stick.
