As they dug deeper into the ground, Lin Sanjiu's strength gradually became insignificant.
After all, she was only one person with two hands. She needed to rest. Whenever she stopped to eat or sleep, Green Melon and the others would control the [Bubble Blowing Girl] and blow up the roots bit by bit.
It wasn't an easy job. They had to be careful not to blow up any survivors inside the roots. Furthermore, they could only move around on stilts. Hence, after three to four days, other than rescuing a few strangers, B.Rabbit and the others did not even see a trace of them.
The more time passed, the less likely it was that the survivors were still alive.
"This won't do … There are too many roots and they are too deep. I can't dig to the end," Lin Sanjiu said dejectedly as she slid down a large root and sat down. She felt physically and mentally exhausted.
After three to four days of digging and blasting, the area within a radius of a kilometer had changed.
The place where Lin Sanjiu first dug was now an entrance that could fit two people. After walking down the entrance, there was a slope that led downward.
If someone walked down this slope for about a hundred meters, they would suddenly find themselves in a forest. It wasn't quite accurate to call it a forest. After all, it was a forest made up of snake-like tree roots. Until now, no one had come up with a word for it.
When Lin Sanjiu looked up, she saw that the tree roots were intertwined with each other. They blocked most of the sunlight and cast the slope in perpetual darkness. On both sides of the slope were the tree roots that Lin Sanjiu had not blown up. Each root was about the size of ten people. They were intertwined with each other. If there was any movement nearby, the entire "wall" of tree roots would shake rapidly. They would spit out waves of tiny, long tentacles, eager to devour all the living things around them.
Since they were in an underground mine tunnel, the lighting wasn't very good. Lin Sanjiu hung the [Ability Polishing Agent] on a slightly thinner tree root and used it as a chandelier. Although it was slightly thinner, it was about the same size as her.
At that moment, under the faint silver glow of the [Ability Polishing Agent]. A large robot doll and a piece of dark cloud floating in the sky fell into silence when they saw Lin Sanjiu's dejected state.
"But, but …" Bai Xiaoke hesitated for a while. She wasn't sure what she was going to say. To Lin Sanjiu, was this encouragement or the opposite effect? "Other than this, there's no other way …"
The two men on the robot doll's shoulders looked at each other, their expressions a little gloomy.
"Have you calculated this debt?" Lin Sanjiu suddenly asked, "We can only dig about a hundred meters in one direction in a day. Am I right? "
The dark cloud bobbed up and down, as if Bai Xiaoke was nodding.
"Right now, we've focused all our attention on the downward direction. We don't care about the other directions at all, and we can't care about it either." Perhaps the few days of monotonous physical labor had cleared Lin Sanjiu's mind. The anxiety caused by the disappearance of her companions was gradually suppressed by her calmness.
"But what if the things in the roots don't go down? After all, the three of you were in a life-or-death situation at that time, so it's not surprising that your senses were wrong. "She frowned." Logically speaking, you shouldn't have walked down. The things in the roots should be transported to the trunk. Even if the trunk hasn't grown yet, it should be going up. "
Her logic was right. Qian Zhengguan opened his mouth, but he felt that something was wrong. He wanted to refute but he couldn't find the right words to say. "Hmm." After a long while, his drifting thoughts got the upper hand, "If the trunk is somewhere on the ground, doesn't that mean that you guys have to search the entire planet?"
At this point, he had already removed himself from the equation.
Green Melon rolled his eyes at him. In the end, he was the smarter one. After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on his face, "Sister Lin, do you have an idea?"
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes. There was no answer. She tilted her head and looked at the people in front of her. Her eyes scanned them from head to toe. Suddenly, she waved at Qian Zhengguan, "Come here."
"Wh … What's the matter?" For some reason, the young man with the small face suddenly felt alarmed. "Sister Lin, what are you doing? I can't go down. "
His excuse was so lame that it made him sigh. In order to carry out the explosion even when Lin Sanjiu was sleeping, they had built a lot of high stakes on the ground. They could step on those stakes and move within a certain range.
"I'm asking you if you want to come over." Lin Sanjiu's tone was very straightforward.
Although the answer was, of course, "No," when Qian Zhengguan realized it, he had already slid down from the robot doll. With a face full of regret, he could only ask cautiously, "Sister Lin. What's the matter? "
"Let me ask you, how long do you need to activate [Heaven and Earth Grand Shift] … Hurry up, I'm waiting … Other than knowing Jin Yong's reputation, do you have any other requirements? Aiya, why are you walking so slowly? "
Lin Sanjiu stood up, grabbed his collar, and dragged him over. "What's the matter?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
Qian Zhengguan really cherished the jacket that Green Melon gave him. He hurriedly let out two "aiya" sounds and stood firmly on the pile in a flurry. Only then did he touch his collar and replied, "Hmm … it's pretty fast, just a thought is enough. As for the requirements, other than Jin Yong, the other party has to be about the same size as me and not too heavy … "
Lin Sanjiu felt that she had grown taller recently. Compared to Qian Zhengguan, who was 1.73 meters tall, she seemed to be about the same height.
'How can I grow taller at this age? Even if I evolved, there's no such thing as height evolution … 'She sneered at herself and asked, "Is my current height okay?"
The young man looked at her and thought for a moment. He nodded immediately, "Yes, it's okay for girls to be tall now. Look, there are so many mistresses —"
"I'm talking about [Heaven and Earth Grand Shift]! What are you thinking about? "
"Oh, oh, it's okay!"
She rubbed her temples and placed one of her hands on Qian Zhengguan's back. "I will count to three, and I will push you toward that tree root. Are you ready?" Qian Zhengguan nodded, "I will count to three, and I will push you toward the tree root. Are you ready?" Qian Zhengguan nodded.
"How can I be ready?!" Qian Zhengguan's face turned pale. He waved his hands around anxiously, "Sister Lin, what are you trying to do?"
Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice and said, "Listen carefully. I will stand on the stump. One second before you are completely swallowed by the root, you will switch places with me."
The idea of crawling into the root sounded too risky. Bai Xiaoke and Green Melon would never agree to her doing that, so she didn't even think of mentioning it to them. However, Qian Zhengguan was different. They had only known each other for a short period of time and he was a slow-witted person. There was an 80% chance that he would do as she said.
"So, you want to go in …"
"Yes, you know. I don't know why, but these roots don't want to pull me in. So, you can't switch places too early. You have to switch places with me right before the hard white skin closes … "Lin Sanjiu stared into his eyes nervously. Her tone was so firm that there was no room for negotiation.
Both of them were talking very softly. When their voices reached Green Melon and Green Melon's ears, they could only hear a few indistinct words. Both of them were still in the dark. Just when they were waiting for Lin Sanjiu to say something to them, they saw Lin Sanjiu suddenly push Qian Zhengguan toward the root not far away.
Before the two of them could even scream, countless thin tendrils had already wrapped around Qian Zhengguan and his scream. Then, they sucked him into the root. The entire process happened so fast that they didn't even have time to blink.
"Now!" Lin Sanjiu roared. Just as the hard skin was about to close, the scream stopped abruptly. Her vision blurred and Qian Zhengguan, who was panting heavily, had replaced her. He was standing on the stump with his hands on his knees.
Green Melon and Green Melon turned their heads in a daze and saw Lin Sanjiu's figure disappear behind the closed hard white skin. (To be continued.)
