Chapter 550 Escape from Jiangdu City!
In the tunnel
Wei Hong held the flying sword and waved it forward over and over again, cutting off large tracts of dirt and gravel, and then put all the dirt, sand and gravel into storage bags.
Of course, no matter how many storage bags Wei Hong had, it was impossible to fill all the soil and gravel, so every once in a while he would pour the soil in the storage bags to the back and completely clear the back section of the tunnel. Block it up.
After digging for a while, Wei Hong stopped and asked Ding Xue to continue digging while he rested behind.
In this way, the two of them took turns digging and resting with each other.
On Ding Xue's shoulder stands the treasure-hunting mouse Bai Ling, who is responsible for guiding the direction.
Wei Hong and the others dug in the direction directed by Bai Ling, sometimes turning left and sometimes right. In short, it was not a straight line, which was somewhat different from what Wei Hong had imagined at the beginning.
Fortunately, neither of them were mortals, so digging the tunnel did not consume much spiritual energy. Even though Ding Xue was a bit physically weak as a woman, the speed of digging the tunnel was not very fast.
Rest when you are tired, eat dried meat when you are hungry, or make a fire to cook a meal of spiritual rice or stew a pot of monster meat. There is no danger except that it is monotonous.
Moreover, both Wei Hong and Ding Xue knew that they were working hard for their own lives, so they both gritted their teeth and persisted.
Two months later.
Wei Hong and the others spent two months digging, and the length of the tunnel they excavated was a full thirteen or four miles.
This distance was much longer than originally expected, mainly because the direction pointed by the treasure hunter Bai Ling was not a straight line, so they could only dig in the direction guided by Bai Ling, and then they dug for two months. Long.
On this day, Wei Hong was still digging the tunnel with his flying sword.
At this time, Bai Ling, who had been staying on Ding Xue's shoulder, suddenly screamed and jumped off Ding Xue's shoulder, came to Wei Hong and kept squeaking at him. It screamed, and at the same time stood upright like a human, with its two short front paws pointing upwards.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Wei Hong was a little confused for a moment and couldn't immediately understand what the treasure hunter meant.
Ding Xue, on the other hand, reacted immediately and shouted in surprise: "What? You said we can reach a safe area just by digging up? Bai Ling, are you right?"
When Wei Hong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
The treasure-hunting mouse Bai Ling barked a few more words. Ding Xue finally confirmed this time. She immediately turned to Wei Hong and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Wei, Bai Ling said that there is a safe area above our heads. We can Back to the ground!"
"Haha, good!" Wei Hong was overjoyed and immediately said excitedly: "It's worth noting that we have been digging hard for two months, and we have finally escaped from the mysterious realm!"
"Fellow Daoist Ding, take Bai Ling to keep watch from behind, and make sure he listens to see if there is any danger on the ground. I'll keep digging!"
After saying that, Wei Hong picked up the flying sword and started digging upwards diagonally.
Swish, brush, brush!
After having hope, Wei Hong was full of energy and soon dug out a diagonal upward tunnel more than ten feet long.
It wasn't until he felt that he had almost reached the ground that Wei Hong stopped and turned to look at Ding Xue: "Fellow Daoist Ding, how are you doing?"
Ding Xue looked at Bai Ling, and after confirmation, she said to Wei Hong: "Bai Ling didn't notice the danger, so he should be fine!"
"Okay, step back!" Wei Hong nodded.
He held several talismans in his left hand, and quickly dug with the flying sword in his right hand. After a while, the tip of the sword pierced the ground directly, and then Wei Hong quickly dug out a square tunnel opening on the ground. He did not get out immediately, but carefully sensed it. When he found that there was no danger, he kicked off his feet and quickly escaped from the tunnel entrance.
Ding Xue was waiting nervously and expectantly below. After a while, she heard Wei Hong's voice: "Fellow Daoist Ding, come up."
Ding Xue suddenly relaxed, with a look of joy on his face, and immediately led Bai Ling out of the tunnel and returned to the ground.
After returning to the ground, the first thing Ding Xue did was to take two deep breaths of fresh air, with a look of intoxication and enjoyment on his face, and he completely relaxed.
At this moment, Wei Hong was observing the situation around him.
Only then did Ding Xue notice that their location was no longer in the mountains and forests, but in a plain area, only three or four miles away from the mountains and forests. The surroundings were empty and there was no one around.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, where are you?" Ding Xue subconsciously asked Wei Hong.
Wei Hong observed for a while before replying: "This place is not far from the mountains and forests. I don't know the specific location yet, but what is certain is that we have indeed escaped from the strange realm!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and Ding Xue looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately saw the familiar fog not far away, but the strange fog did not spread towards them.
"Hu finally escaped, we finally survived!"
Looking at the strange fog not far away, Ding Xue took a long breath.
Then a look of joy appeared on her face, and she looked extremely happy.
Wei Hong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, yes, we finally survived. It's not easy, hahaha!"
Regardless, they managed to save their lives.
The process of escaping from the mysterious realm is indeed not easy, but the result is finally good.
Facing a natural disaster like the mist, they were lucky to be able to save their lives. Needless to say, there was no need to say anything else. With their status, they could just find another place to continue practicing.
At this time, Ding Xue suddenly asked: "I don't know what happened to the others. I don't know if the people from Qingyun Sect have escaped?"
"It's useless to think too much!" Wei Hong glanced at Ding Xue and then said: "Two months have passed. No matter what, we have at least saved our lives."
"As for the people from the Qingyun Sect and those casual cultivators, the situation should not be very good. If we want to know their fate, we must ask the nearby cultivators."
"Fellow Daoist Ding, I wonder where you will go next? Or what are your ideas?"
Facing Wei Hong's inquiry, Ding Xue thought for a while and then said: "Fellow Daoist Wei, how about we first find a mortal town to determine our location, and then inquire about the situation of Qingyun Sect, and finally decide whether to stay or not?"
"Well, Qingyunshanfang City is gone, and we have to find a new place to practice. It's good to inquire about it first, as Taoist Fellow Yi Ding said!"
Wei Hong thought for a moment and agreed to Ding Xue's suggestion.
So the two of them quickly left this place and ran towards the plain.
After half a day, they finally arrived outside a mortal town, and it was also a huge city named [Jiangdu City].
