Chapter 21: Preparation
"I don't agree!"
This is Hao Qi's fifth rejection today. He refused to break through the defense line and go to the ruins, not because he was afraid of danger, but because he was afraid of loss. [Novel updates quickly, no pop-ups, please search]
In fact, it was not him who was really dangerous to this plan, but Lan Ling'er and the others who stayed here.
For Hao Qi, even if six demon-type crazy creatures chase and siege together, as long as he is willing to break through, he can basically run away. Not to mention anything else, just by understanding the god, he will basically be invincible. In addition, these crazy creatures obviously have a territory, which is even less dangerous for Hao Qi. It can be said that if there is no drag from others, the trap in front of him will be almost nothing for Hao Qi.
So let Hao Qi leave the team and run to destroy the core chips of the ruins alone, which in itself is actually more like a kind of protection... Lan Ling'er's protection for Hao Qi.
Because when the strength reaches Hao Qi's current level, unless he is in a state of death, or fights to death, or someone at a higher level is forced to kill, otherwise he will basically be besieged and killed by the internal force realm of the same level. Therefore, Hao Qi really doubts that this is a way for Lan Ling'er to protect him, just to make him not fall to death, because God knows that when he forcibly breaks into the ruins, will the crazy-level creatures here determine that the siege procedure is invalid and attack everyone who stays here?
In terms of strength, the two martial arts groups combined can actually only three and a half to fight against those crazy-level creatures, one of them, one of them, one of them, one of them, one of them, one of them, one of them, and one of them can count Zhang Heng. The strength of the internal force realm that was forced to be opened can be barely half. In addition, even if the other people present are in the quasi-internal force realm, they will be instantly killed under super-speed attacks. Whether or not they have internal force is really two different levels for creatures. With internal force, you can defend against super-high speed attacks, and your thinking speed can keep up with the attack speed. If not, it is normal to be killed in one encounter.
At the same time, because of the special strength of the mad creatures, when facing mad creatures, only Hao Qi has the ability to kill one-on-one, and exchange one-on-two for death, except him. Whether it is Su Shiyan or Babao Porridge, let alone Zhang Heng, even if they are one-on-one, they cannot defeat mad creatures. If they do not escape and restrain, they cannot even face it head-on. Once Hao Qi is gone, only two mad creatures can be killed by the two martial arts groups, but the kind of group destruction that cannot even escape.
Therefore, Hao Qi refused Lan Ling'er's request to destroy the core chips, and when no one was left, he directly sent a message to ask Lan Ling'er whether he had the intention to let him escape alone and survive alone, but Lan Ling'er did not give any answer.
Has time been delayed like this? But this situation cannot continue, because the forest area surrounded by people cannot be said to be narrow, but there are not many preys. Because when surrounded by six crazy-level creatures, even if there are many preys in the forest, there are not many medium and large preys that can enter the encirclement. If you are surrounded by them, within two or three days, everyone will have nothing to eat, and then they will become weaker and weaker, and the situation may only get worse and worse.
So after a full day of stalemate with Hao Qi, everyone finally thought of another way...
“Excavate the ground?”
Hao Qi looked at the ground, then looked up at Lan Ling'er who was smiling brightly, while Lan Ling'er nodded seriously: "Well! Digging the ground, the only reason why Brother Hao Qi is unwilling to destroy the core chip alone is because he is worried that those crazy creatures will attack us, right? He is worried that once you leave, we will not be able to defend. Then what if we can defend until you destroy the core chip and then return? Then Brother Hao Qi will not worry anymore, right?"
"If it is an ordinary endless forest environment, mad-level creatures, especially monster-type mad-level creatures, have a more geographical advantage than us humans, they are used to the environment of endless forests, so they can easily kill any of us like an assassin during the attack, but what if the environment is changed?"
When Lan Ling'er said this, Babaobao took over the topic and said excitedly: "That's right! This is another defensive method we came up with. Hao Qi, aren't you worried that once you leave and destroy the core chip of the ruins, we will be attacked by those monster-type creatures? So what if we dig out a simple underground defense terrain here? The entrance is only one person in the size of a depth of about three meters, and can barely accommodate all of us and dig according to the abilities of our three internal force realms.
, and the members of the quasi-internal power realm help, and they will be excavated in one day at most. After you leave, you will be guarding the entrance by Su Shiyan and I. In this way, Su Shiyan and I only need to face a mad-level creature at the same time. Moreover, the most terrifying thing about the monster-type mad-level creature is the assassination ability. If it is a head-on battle, Su Shiyan and I can work together to withstand at least for several hours. During this period, whether you destroy the core chip or return after the failure of destruction, we are still alive."
After hearing these words, Hao Qi thought about it, then suddenly reached out and inserted his hand hard to the ground, directly inserting his entire palm into the ground. The surface layer that was inserted into the ground was indeed soft in the feeling of his palm, but when it was inserted half of his palm, the soil underground began to become hard, and there were a few small pieces of rock. It seemed that the ground was not the kind of sandy soil or soft soil.
"Okay! Without further ado, we will start digging underground now, and we will dig as deep as possible!" Hao Qi finally nodded and affirmed this plan. After all, the situation in front of him was clear at a glance. No matter how you are trapped here, it is a dead end, so even if there is only a front-line opportunity, he will never let it go.
Then the excavation work took more time than everyone imagined. Starting from making a plan, it was almost working in the morning and night. The tools were very simple, which was the wooden tool that Su Shiyan cut with her long sword. However, there were three internal forces in it, especially Hao Qi. The total amount of internal forces was terrible, and the return speed was even more terrible. When Su Shiyan and Babao Porridge both consumed the internal forces and were so tired that they almost fell into a coma, he still seemed to have just started working. The entire excavation work lasted for two days, and a deep pit with a depth of nearly twenty meters was dug. At the bottom of the deep pit, a hollow flat ground that was not very large was dug horizontally. After squeezing, he could barely accommodate everyone present.
Even if a mad creature wants to dig from top to bottom, it will take at least a few hours, not to mention that Su Shiyan and Babao Porridge are guarding this time. These few hours of safety period are the only time for Hao Qi to break the core chips of the ruins!
All preparations were complete. Everyone in the Dragon Secret Treasure Martial Arts Group pulled Zhang Heng to hunt the encirclement for the last time, hunting all the wild vegetables, wild fruits, and small creatures that could be collected. Then everyone had a full meal, and then they watched Hao Qi, Su Shiyan, and Babaozhuang sleep each and finally recover their energy.
On the third day, Hao Qi slept for fifteen hours, almost the last person to wake up. After waking up, he had a full meal with all the remaining food, and then carefully checked the entire cave with everyone and confirmed the direction of the ruins. After that, he stood on the ground and watched everyone go down to the bottom of the cave one by one, until the two internal power realms began to go down. He suddenly grabbed Su Shiyan's hand, who was the last one, and made Su Shiyan look at him with a slightly red face.
"If it's this time..." Hao Qi looked at Su Shiyan's slightly red face and watery eyes. An emotion in his heart suddenly couldn't suppress it. But after saying this, he saw Su Shiyan's expression again, and then shook his head slightly and let go of Su Shiyan's hand. Su Shiyan was stunned for a few seconds, and he didn't know what kind of expression and mood he turned around and entered the cave.
Hao Qi stood outside the cave like this, looking at the empty camp, he shouted at the cave, "Then I'm going, you..."
"Wait for me to come back!"
As he spoke, Hao Qi jumped up and rushed towards the ruins. (To be continued.)
