Chapter 568
568 The underground safe house
More than an hour after leaving the coffee shop, Xia Pingan’s figure suddenly emerged from the thick underground granite layer under the capital Circle of the country of fire like a ghost or a bubble. He looked at the medium-sized underground karst cave in front of him and finally smiled. He said to himself, ” let’s do it here, Yingluo.
The underground is not a piece of iron. Those who have experience in mine exploration, underground cave exploration, or underground tunnel excavation will know that the structure of the underground world we live in is very strange.
Besides subterranean rivers, there were also many naturally-formed caves or karst caves in the deep place.
Ordinary people’s ability to explore the underground was very limited. Most of them were limited to some caves on the surface. With the help of special drilling equipment, or by opening up underground cities and underground bases, humans could drill about ten thousand meters underground. Even Summoners would find it difficult to enter the depths of the underground world. They were not much better than ordinary people. Space-invading creatures like sandworms and demon rats were also limited in their underground activities. The special hard ground and the lack of air made it difficult for them to survive.
The only people who could really move freely in the underground world were Summoners who had mastered the earth escape technique.
After leaving the café, Xia Pingan hid underground in the Capital Ring of the country of fire when no one was paying attention to him. He began to find a place to settle down underground.
Before this, Xia Pingan had already found several underground cracks and natural karst caves. Those underground cracks and karst caves were either too shallow, only a few hundred meters or one to two thousand meters away from the surface, or were relatively closed with no air, or were not suitable for temperature and humidity.
However, this underground karst cave was pitch-dark and had a medium volume, about 10000 cubic meters. It was surrounded by large areas of granite and limestones. Between the granite and limestones, there were some cracks whose width ranged from less than 10 cm to less than half a meter. In those underground cracks, some mosses were growing on the rocks. He could faintly hear the Sound of the Underground river flowing from the depths of the crack.
What was even rarer was that there was air here, and it didn’t feel stuffy. The flowing underground river was disturbing the air here.
The air here might have existed since millions of years ago, might be brought by the subterranean river or the underground plants in the karst cave. No matter what, there was air here.
Xia ping ‘an was very satisfied with the environment here. It was estimated that no living creature would come to this place for millions of years. The rock and soil more than ten thousand meters deep could conceal all the divine power fluctuations here. More importantly, this place was underground in the central area of the capital Circle of the country of fire. Above this karst cave was the gathering place of the Ministry of Defense, the order Committee, the Congress, and other important institutions in the past. It was needless to say that the security was very tight. No one would do a ten-thousand-meter drill above for no reason, and the Demon’s Eye and dimensional invaders would avoid this area as well. Therefore, the underground was also the safest place. No one would disturb them in this place.
Minister Yan, I’m afraid you didn’t expect that I would be right under their eyes, right? ” Xia Pingan smiled and looked at the strange stones around him. With a wave of his hand, the sky-burning Vermilion Bird was summoned.
The fiery heavens-burning Vermilion Bird brought the fiery light and heat to this place which had been dark for millions of years. The high temperature directly melted a large area of rugged and raised granite in this underground cave, forming a hemispherical space. Being burned by the flames of the heavens-burning Vermilion Bird, the melted granite gradually solidified into a simple, ancient stone bed and table like glue in a kid’s hand.
The heaven burning Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and the heat from the melted granite condensed into sparks, which were once again absorbed by the heaven burning Vermilion Bird and gathered on its wings. With a wave of Xia Pingan’s hand, the heaven burning Vermilion Bird was once again kept into the secret altar.
When the sky-burning Vermilion Bird disappeared, a brilliant and clean hemispherical space hidden in a huge rock appeared in front of Xia Pingan. In this space, there was a stone bed and a stone table. The stone bed and table were not exquisite. They only formed a rough shape, which looked like melted candles. However, they were basically functional and the temperature had returned to normal.
Xia Pingan entered the hemispherical space and looked around. He nodded in satisfaction. There should be no problem settling down here. From now on, this place would be his secret stronghold in the country of fire. As long as this planet was not destroyed, there should be no problem here. His avatar could stay here and wait for his return safely.
If he had mastered such a powerful earth escape technique when he first arrived in Paris, he might not have had the chance to meet Emily again.
He took out a few moonstones and casually embedded them into the walls around the semi-circular space. The dark space was lit up and looked a little more romantic.
He then took out a tortoiseshell five elements inverted Eight Trigrams sword array formation disk and activated it. He released a few mechanical spiders and threw them in an inconspicuous corner. This space was immediately under the double protection of the formation disk and the mechanism technique. It was foolproof. Even if there were any changes, he could sense it in time and escape using the earth escape technique at any time.
this should be the safest safe house. It’s a pity that there’s too little warm Jade on earth. If only I had a warm jade bed, that would be even better! Xia Pingan nodded in satisfaction. Feeling that there were no more mistakes or things to worry about, she took out a thick mat used for cultivation and meditation and laid it on the stone bed.
Xia Pingan sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the three realm beads that he had just obtained from Minister Yan.
At this moment, the upper limit of Xia Pingan’s Secret mandala had reached 8566 points, and he was getting closer and closer to the 8820 points of the seven Suns realm. As long as he had the realm Pearl, he would be able to break through. If he encountered special realm pearls, he might be able to complete the final breakthrough with just a few.
Xia ping ‘an planned to first search for realm beads on earth to break through 8820 points of divine power. Then, he would return to the God-killing insect world to find the divine spring of the seven-sun realm to complete the final advancement.
“Let’s see what kind of surprise you can bring me!” Xia ping ‘an picked up the realm Pearl that Ji Changxue shot and began to fuse it with his blood.
When Minister Yan said that this was a divine eye realm Pearl, Xia Pingan had his doubts, but he didn’t say it out loud. As far as he knew, Ji Changxue’s first practice was indeed the eyes, which was the standard of a sharpshooter. So, it was very normal for this realm Pearl to have spell slots that could strengthen the summoner’s eyes after fusion.
However, in history and legends, the one who taught Ji Chang to train his eyes was the Sharpshooter flying guard of Handan. After Ji Chang had completed the training of his eyes, he learned the ultimate skill of archery from the flying guard. Ji Chang heard from the flying guard that the world’s most powerful archery skill was mastered by a person called gan Fei. Therefore, Ji Chang went to gan Fei to learn the skill, and finally learned the ultimate skill of shooting without shooting from him.
In the records of ” Taiping Imperial survey “, Fei Wei was gan Fei’s student and disciple. After Fei Wei’s archery skills were accomplished, the two of them had a contest of archery skills. The FEI Wei secretly shot gan Fei with an arrow. Gan Fei caught the arrow that the FEI Wei shot and then shot it at the FEI Wei. The FEI Wei Ran around the tree, but gan Fei’s arrow seemed to have eyes and could fly. It also chased after the FEI Wei around the tree. In the end, the FEI Wei was no match and admitted defeat.
If Ji Chang had only learned the eye-training and archery skills from the flying guard, he had only learned half of it. The highest level of archery that Ji Chang had learned was actually the peak of shooting without shooting from gan Fei.
Therefore, when those people fused with Ji Changxue’s realm Pearl, they probably did not fuse perfectly and only fused a portion of it. If this realm Pearl could be perfectly fused, it might bring him other surprises.
