Lu Siya was stunned for a total of three seconds before she cursed under her breath.
Qin Hu patted Meng Chao's shoulder and said earnestly, "I'm not trying to lecture you, brat. We're already in a situation like this, and you're still thinking about these unhealthy things?"
"No, you don't understand what I mean."
Meng Chao was so anxious that he scratched his head. He pointed at the crack to the right and said, "Big Sis Ya, you said that this is the path to survival because you sensed the spirit energy fluctuations outside and believed that it leads to the surface, right?"
"Yes."
Lu Siya frowned and nodded. "I can guarantee you that this is the path that leads to the surface."
"Then we can't take this path!"
Meng Chao said firmly. "Think about it. We spent a few days to explore this deep underground. We might have spent a lot of time on mapping, but we're still hundreds of meters away from the surface in a straight line. Besides, we're in Raging Waves. Who knows how many meters we're from the surface?
"Besides, that's just the straight line distance. If we factor in the twists and turns in the crack and how it's slanted upwards, we're heavily injured and can't move, we might not be able to climb out even if we spend a day and night.
"Big Sis Ya, you're drained of spirit energy. It's impossible for you to use Spikes or change the structure of the rock stratum to open a tunnel, right? Then we can't take this path, because the spirit energy tsunami will definitely catch up to us and we'll be burned to death in the crack! "
Lu Siya's pupils shrank to the size of needles. She mumbled, "That's true. The spirit energy ripples I sensed are very weak. We're still very far away from the surface."
"Even if we crawl out from here, we'll still be in the depths of Raging Waves," Meng Chao continued.
"Regardless of whether the destructive spirit energy tsunami takes form or not, the Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts will go berserk. They might be fighting against each other. With our current condition, if we crawl out of the surface, we'll be torn to shreds by the shockwaves. That's no different from dying underground."
"You're right, but …" Lu Siya said.
"Even if the right is a dead end, how do you know that the left is a path to survival?"
"I didn't say that the left is definitely a path to survival. We can only take the risk. I'm confident in your honor!" Meng Chao stared at Qin Hu with a burning gaze.
Qin Hu scratched his head. "My … honor?"
"It's your appearance."
He turned his head around and said, "Big Sis Ya, look at Mr. Hu's dignified appearance. Don't you think that it's really strange with his status, personality, actions, and relationship with us?"
Lu Siya was stunned. "What's so strange about it?"
"Master Tiger and I have a deep grudge, and he's also Shen Yulong's team's mech. Coupled with his honor, he's simply …"
Meng Chao thought about it for a long time before he finally thought of a suitable phrase. "I'm the kind of person who won't live past three episodes in a television drama, three pages in a comic, and three chapters in a novel!"
Qin Hu: "…"
Lu Siya was speechless.
"I'm a rare genius, a future star who rose to power miraculously. I'm destined to dominate the alliance of the five universities and defeat Dragon City University. I've also inherited Big Brother Lin's will.
"Big Sis Ya, you're the future leader of Sky Pillar Corporation. You were nourished with all sorts of treasures and high-grade superbeasts' flesh since you were young.
"It's not surprising that you and I managed to survive this calamity. It's a matter of course.
"But Master Tiger actually survived with us. Don't you think that it's really unbelievable?"
Qin Hu: "Little, little bastard, just you wait, wait for me to recover from my injuries —"
"Don't be in such a hurry, Master Tiger. I'm just suppressing my desires first. I'm about to talk about your uniqueness."
Meng Chao spoke like a machine gun. "I've thought about it for a long time, and I finally found the answer. Master Tiger has been able to survive until now because he has a lot of luck and shocking instincts. Even when he didn't notice it, he managed to survive and even soar to the top.
"Right now, we have no other choice. We can only rely on your luck!"
Lu Siya and Qin Hu looked at each other.
"Is that so?"
Qin Hu scratched his beard. "I have a lot of luck on me, and when I casually point at someone, I'll be able to survive?"
"Forget about the question. Be more confident. Yes."
Meng Chao held Qin Hu's hand tightly and looked him in the eye. He enunciated each word clearly. "I … believe … you, Master Tiger!"
Qin Hu was stunned.
The next second, he could not help but tear up.
"Brat, let go," he cried out in pain.
He cried out in pain, "You're f * cking crushing my hand!"
Meng Chao let go of Qin Hu's deformed hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it against the wall. "Then, we'll go to the left. Do you agree?"
Lu Siya and Qin Hu could do nothing about it.
When the three of them left the Red Radiance Jade mine, their spirit energy was drained. They were covered in wounds, and their blood was practically drained. They had relied on their tenacious willpower to persevere until this point.
Qin Hu and Lu Siya no longer had the strength to struggle.
But Meng Chao could use contribution points to get healing skills.
Even though he had killed a Hell Beast with Lin Chuan and the rating for the mission was not high, he could still get a few Middle Stage Healing Skills.
Besides, the Ultimate Style was famous for its long endurance. At that moment, he was still full of energy and had some strength left in him.
To Qin Hu and Lu Siya, he was a monster.
If they wanted to escape from death, they needed this monster's help.
With their dying bodies, it was impossible for them to crawl upward for at least twelve hours through the twisting underground crack.
When they saw Meng Chao leading the way to the crack on the left where a beauty could lie on her side, the two of them had no choice but to follow behind him while grumbling.
But against their expectations, there was a world in the crack. The more they climbed, the wider it became, and the flatter it became. In the end, the three of them could bend their backs and use their hands and feet to climb up quickly.
"Brat, you're seriously …" Qin Hu was surprised and delighted.
Meng Chao smiled faintly.
In his previous life, Qin Hu had managed to escape and reach Heaven Realm as a greasy middle-aged man in his twenties, so he naturally had his own serendipity.
When Meng Chao said that he was borrowing Qin Hu's luck, it was not a lie. It was the advantage of someone who had returned to the past.
At that moment, he crashed into the wall.
There was no path ahead.
The air instantly froze.
The light was drowned by darkness.
"This is a dead end," Lu Siya said in despair.
Just when she was about to turn her head around, another explosion came from behind them.
Waves of spirit flames that were each stronger than the last had already devoured their path of retreat.
The resonance from thousands of crystal mines caused the spirit energy magnetic field interference to become stronger. It was like invisible magma that enveloped their skin inch by inch, causing their blood to boil. Their organs and cerebral cortex to start burning.
"Brat, I chose it randomly! I told you to listen to the experts! There's no path ahead!" Qin Hu said with a long face.
"No, there's definitely a path ahead!"
Meng Chao gritted his teeth. His gaze seemed to have turned into two impact drills that wanted to dig two holes in the wall.
He took three steps back and growled. The last of his spirit energy filled the spirit meridian in his right arm to create the spirit energy magnetic field for Demon Subduing Slash.
His bones assumed the force execution stance for Reckless Bull Technique.
His tendons tensed up to the max with the secret technique of Dragon Snake Force.
His muscle fibers were like layers of ripples that accumulated power that was like a raging wave.
Boom!
Meng Chao's entire body was propelled by the burning fist, and he crashed into the wall in front of him. His head was injured, and he fell back with his limbs spread out.
"Brat, are you mad?"
Qin Hu was shocked. "You're just made of flesh and blood. How can you knock down an iron wall?"
"B-Yes, you can. You definitely can."
Meng Chao climbed to his feet with great difficulty and wiped the blood off his face into his mouth. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if there's really no path ahead of me, I'll open up a brand new path!"
Boom!
The second time he crashed into the wall, a terrifying, bloody figure was left behind on it. Meng Chao fell back, and his mangled appearance made Qin Hu's skin crawl, even though he was a ruthless person who had been fighting in the wild for years.
"You're not a brat," Qin Hu mumbled.
Qin Hu mumbled, "He's basically a little lunatic!"
"Wait!"
Lu Siya suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at the wall in slight puzzlement. Her nostrils flared, and her eyes sparkled. "I sense a very unique spirit energy. There's something behind this wall!"
Before her voice faded away, Meng Chao crashed into the wall for the third time.
Boom!
Whoosh!
A miracle happened!
Just as he was slammed back again, crisscrossing cracks appeared on the seemingly indestructible iron wall. Then, the rock wall collapsed, revealing a hole with a diameter of half a meter.
The hole shone brightly.
Cyan, normal blue, cobalt blue, lake blue, indigo blue, dark blue, sapphire blue, navy blue, dark blue, peacock blue, sky blue, dark blue, light blue, tile blue, ice blue, water blue, dark black, sapphire blue, sharp blue, turquoise green, pink blue, white blue, sea blue, dark blue, light blue, dark blue, dark blue, light blue, azure blue, light blue … Hundreds of blue colors intersected with each other, and it was a brand new crystal palace. It was a natural crystal mine.
"This is …"
Qin Hu and Lu Siya stared at Meng Chao in disbelief.
The spirit flames behind them roared again and licked their feet.
They looked at each other and quickly grabbed Meng Chao to shove him into the hole. Then, they crawled into the mine as well.
It was a natural mine that had a diameter of no more than five meters.
It was much smaller than the Red Radiance Jade mine.
There were clear blue crystals around it, but they shone with a calm and peaceful light. It was completely different from the rampaging Red Radiance Jade mine, and when people were in it, they could not help but calm down.
"What is this place?"
Qin Hu looked around him, then at his wound, which had stopped bleeding. He asked in surprise, "I feel so good. My wounds don't hurt as much, and my vitality magnetic field has become much more stable. The spirit meridians in my body that have dried up have become full again. I feel like I've crawled into the most advanced medical cabin."
"This is a natural mine with incredibly pure Blue Origin Crystals. Among all the crystals, Blue Origin Crystals have a vibration frequency that is the closest to a human's vitality magnetic field, and they're also the most compatible. They can activate the human body's immune system and regeneration system, and their healing effects are great. They're often used in the creation of high-end medical cabins and the construction of cultivation rooms. That's why they're known as Life Stones."
Lu Siya stuck her hands into a cluster of blue crystals and analyzed them for a while. "At the same time, they're also very stable. They're not like other crystals, which easily produce violent reactions. They can be considered an inert crystal, and they're often used as stabilizers for cultivation, especially for high-energy crystals like the Red Radiance Jades, which are incredibly unstable. They have great neutralizing and stabilizing effects."
Qin Hu scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time before he thought about it and asked patiently, "Ms. Lu, so?"
"So, if the spirit energy magnetic field vibration frequency of the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals can subtly weaken, neutralize, and cancel each other out, we can turn the rampaging, destructive energy into a relatively gentle energy that can activate the potential in our genes and allow us to surpass the limits of life."
Lu Siya's eyes shone. She suppressed her excitement and ambition. "This natural mine won't be our grave. Instead, it'll turn into an unprecedented super cultivation room!"
