Chapter 623 - 624: Racing with Death (4 Updates)
"Fire attack?"
Ah Bao was stunned.
"Specifically speaking, it should be a smoke attack. We light a fire underneath the cave, allowing smoke to spread inside. The people hiding there naturally can't stand it. If they don't come out, they're bound to suffocate inside."
Upon hearing this, Ah Bao nodded:
"Great, great, great, wahaha, I'm gonna roast and eat those Earth pigs, haha."
Soon, a dozen wild men from outside the mining area moved some branches from the forest and stuffed them into the cave.
With a wave of his hand, Ah Bao launched a Fireball onto the branches inside the cave, setting them ablaze in no time.
Shortly thereafter, thick smoke began to spread upwards along the cave.
...
The moment the wild man A-Mu punched the stone wall of the cave, Yang Xiao had already instructed Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing to crawl inside the cave, and he himself pulled out the Bronze Divine Sword. As A-Mu's fist hit the cave, Yang Xiao slashed down, severing A-Mu's forearm.
Yang Xiao didn't care whether the attack was effective, he sheathed the Bronze Divine Sword and quickly crawled further into the cave.
As for the attack by Ah Bao on the cave, it couldn't harm them at all.
This escape tunnel was over a hundred meters long, winding upwards.
At this moment, Yang Xiao, Gu Beifeng, and Du Tianxing were lying in the middle section of the cave, while Chi Lin and the others had already crawled to the top end. Everyone was hiding inside, feeling extremely anxious.
Especially with the violent vibrations caused by Ah Bao's bombardment, it felt like the entire mine was about to be overturned.
"Hope dawn comes soon, Amitabha!" prayed Gu Beifeng.
"Damn, what's the use of praying now," cursed Du Tianxing.
"Besides praying, what other options do you have?" retorted Gu Beifeng.
Du Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then he also muttered,
"Amitabha!"
The three of them exchanged a few words and remained lying in the middle section of the cave, about forty to fifty meters away from Ah Bao, with a turning slope in between.
After a failed attempt at shooting arrows, Ah Bao paused the attack briefly, and everyone was momentarily relieved, thinking perhaps the wild men decided not to attack.
While Yang Xiao and the others were whispering, suddenly a tantalizing smell of smoke filled the air.
"Cough, cough, cough,"
"No good, these damned wild men are using a fire attack."
"What shall we do?"
"Which of you two has cultivated the Wind Element Skills?"
"I have," said Gu Beifeng.
"Hurry, use the Wind power to push the smoke out. Come here, swap places with me, use the Wind Skills while crawling down."
"Cough, cough, cough, Yang Xiao, why crawl downwards? Isn't that seeking death?"
"No time to explain, hurry up."
Gu Beifeng knew Yang Xiao wouldn't let him die, so without any fuss, he turned head down and foot up, moving below Yang Xiao. Lifting his head, he activated the Wind power, and instantly, a strong gust stirred within the cave, roaring downward.
Once the gust passed, the smell of smoke inside the cave significantly reduced.
Gu Beifeng slid down the cave, continuously unleashing strong gusts, repeatedly sending more than ten gusts down the cave.
At this point, Yang Xiao was following behind Gu Beifeng.
"Stop now!"
Just as Gu Beifeng stopped, he felt Yang Xiao pressing down on his back, his entire body on his back, even his buttocks felt a strange elasticity.
"Damn, Yang Xiao, you're actually gay!"
"Passive!"
Yang Xiao shouted lowly, instantly pulling out the Bronze Divine Sword from his Space Ring, flashing like lightning across the rocks above the cave.
After numerous slashes, large pieces of rock thunderously fell, blocking the cave.
Yang Xiao sheathed the Bronze Divine Sword, then slid off from Gu Beifeng's back, cursing:
"I'd rather masturbate than like your ass, think again."
Gu Beifeng: "..."
At this moment, Du Tianxing also slid down from the back.
Yang Xiao said:
"Brother Du, you need to climb up and notify Chi Lin and the others to dig a hole quickly, dig upwards, didn't you say that you're only about ten meters away from getting out?"
Du Tianxing was stunned,
and said:
"Dig a hole now?"
"Of course, the savages below are lighting fires and attacking us with smoke, I've already blocked off the cave, hence the air is running out, you guys must quickly find a way to pierce through the cave, otherwise, we'll either be suffocated by the smoke or suffocated from lack of air."
Upon hearing this, Du Tianxing hurriedly climbed upward.
Ah Bao and others stood under the cave, watching the branches inside the cave catch fire and laughed loudly. Although there was a slight smell of smoke in the mining pit, the large space meant it was not a severe impact.
"Smoke them to death, now, let's see how they can run."
"Tanaka Jiao, it's your brain that's flexible, what a great idea!"
Tanaka Jiao chuckled with some pride and said:
"Many years ago when we fought with the people of Xuanming Country, they used tunnel warfare, and we used this method of smoking to drive them out from the tunnels, haha, I never thought that history would repeat itself after hundreds of years."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly,
a strong burst of black smoke crazily surged out from inside the cave, followed by,
a loud "boom" sound,
the originally blocked branches burning inside the cave all burst out, and a sky full of sparks exploded in the mining pit, instantly shrouding the tunnel with dense smoke.
"Cough, cough, cough,"
"Cough,"
"Cough,"
Over twenty savages in the tunnel began to cough violently.
The savages quickly held their breath and ran out of the tunnel, dozens of meters away, before they deeply breathed in fresh air.
Cough, cough,
Ah Bao coughed violently twice, glanced at Tanaka Jiao who was also coughing beside him, not only furious but also slapped him across the face,
"Slap",
with a crisp sound, Tanaka Jiao staggered and fell to the ground, suddenly tasting saltiness in his mouth along with toothache, and spat out a mouthful of blood with five or six broken teeth.
"You damned fool, what terrible idea did you come up with, you almost smoked me to death."
Ah Bao roared furiously.
Tanaka Jiao really wanted to cry but had no tears, he swallowed the broken teeth down into his stomach, got up from the ground, and said:
"I, I didn't know this would happen."
The savage Ah Mu then said:
"These miners have used Wind Element Technique, pushing the smoke out of the cave, hehe, are their Wind powers even stronger than ours?
Boss, let's start another fire in the cave, and we'll use the Wind Skill at the entrance, blowing a strong wind inside, can they outdo us?"
Ah Mu had one hand cut off and loathed the miners inside to the bones; he wouldn't rest until he avenged by killing those inside the cave today.
"Alright, let's do as you say, let's go play with them."
The mining tunnel is 4 meters wide, 2 meters high, and three to four hundred meters long, the smoke forced out by Gu Beifeng slowly dispersed and disappeared inside the tunnel, the smell of smoke in the air became fainter.
Ah Mu sent a few savages of Emperor Level Realm back into the cave, they held their breath and lit a pair of branches inside it.
A savage skilled in Wind Skill began to employ Wind Element Technique towards the cave, with a raging wind carrying the black smoke ferociously rushing into the cave.
After the fierce wind ran for thirty to forty meters, its force diminished quite a bit, blocked by the stones stacked in the tunnel.
However, the wall of stones was not completely sealed, and a small amount of dense smoke seeped through the gaps of the broken stones, slowly making its way through.
"Cough, the savages are burning fires again, and they've also used Wind Element Technique to blow the wind, we don't have many opponents, and this wall won't last long, Gu Beifeng, you keep an eye on things here, I'll go up front to check on the progress of the digging."
Yang Xiao finished speaking and then climbed up towards the top of the cave.
Now, he was racing against death!
