Breakfast was a feast that Yu Jiaojiao had asked the chef to prepare for Song Shuhang. It was to replenish the amount of blood he'd lost yesterday.
After breakfast, Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao started their morning exercise.
Morning was the best time of the day.
Song Shuhang reviewed all the techniques he'd mastered and felt that his constitution had faintly improved.
"Should we go?" Yu Jiaojiao asked.
Song Shuhang stopped and exhaled a mouthful of foul air, "Alright, let's set off now! How? Is it near? "
If the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery' was in the Jiangnan area, should they drive there or walk there?
"Hold on tight to me, I'll bring you there," Yu Jiaojiao said with a smile. After saying this, she lightly jumped and landed on Song Shuhang's shoulder.
"Are we going to fly there on our flying swords?" Song Shuhang asked. Also, how was he going to hold on to Yu Jiaojiao? Should he grab her whole body in his palm?
Yu Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "No, the Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery isn't in the sky."
While saying this, Yu Jiaojiao grabbed Song Shuhang's ear with her small claws. This was the most convenient place for her to grab. Then, she said, "Get ready, let's go!"
"Where are we going?" Song Shuhang asked. If it wasn't in the sky and he had to hold on to Yu Jiaojiao, where was the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery'?
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, a 'bang!' Sound rang out, and Song Shuhang saw a large area of white fog appear in front of his eyes, wrapping around him and Yu Jiaojiao.
Immediately after, the white fog fused with their bodies, and after two breaths of time, their bodies turned into a state of 'fog'. This state was somewhat similar to the state of a soul.
Not only his body, but even his clothes, size-reducing purse, and other items were all assimilated.
At this time, Yu Jiaojiao called out softly, "Ground Drilling Technique!"
In the next moment, Shuhang saw that the ground beneath his feet seemed to have melted. He and Yu Jiaojiao fell into the soil.
The earth seemed to have turned into an ocean in an instant, and he and Yu Jiaojiao were swimming on the ground. Moreover, he could vaguely see things ten meters away from him while he was in the ground. However, he felt as if he was looking at flowers through a fog.
This is the Earth Escape Technique? He could actually turn the earth around him into liquid — no, it wasn't the earth that had turned into liquid, it was his and Yu Jiaojiao's bodies that had changed.
Song Shuhang immediately understood what was going on. For their current bodies, the earth was like liquid, allowing them to dive into it.
Shuhang originally thought that the Earth Escape technique would allow a cultivator to quickly drill through the ground like an earthworm. He didn't expect the Earth Escape Technique to be so miraculous.
Through the fog, he could see some creatures in the strata. There were earthworms, all kinds of strange insects, and even some plant roots. However, he didn't see any rocks, because rocks were also within the range of the Earth Escape Technique and could be seen through.
At this time, Shuhang suddenly had the urge to learn this magical technique!
[However, since we're going to use the Earth Escape Technique, could it be that the branch of the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery' in the Jiangnan area is built underground?]
After all, it was a delivery company for cultivators, and the target customers were cultivators. Therefore, they couldn't openly show themselves in front of ordinary people. It was understandable that the underground was a very good hiding place.
Just as he was thinking, Shuhang suddenly felt a pain in his ear. For some reason, Yu Jiaojiao was grabbing his ear tightly.
Song Shuhang didn't dare to turn his head to look at Yu Jiaojiao. If he turned his head, Yu Jiaojiao, who was grabbing his ear, would be shaken off. If Yu Jiaojiao was shaken off, the connection between him and Yu Jiaojiao would be cut off. At that time, he wouldn't be able to maintain the state of the Earth Escape Technique. At that time, wouldn't he be stuck in the ground?
Therefore, he used the secret sound transmission technique and asked, "Jiaojiao, what happened? Why did you pinch me so hard? "
Yu Jiaojiao quickly replied, "It's nothing. It's just that when I was accelerating using the Earth Escape Technique, a man-made structure suddenly appeared in front of me, giving me a fright. Then, I suddenly braked, and my hand involuntarily exerted a bit of force. "
However, within Song Shuhang's field of vision, he didn't see the shadow of a 'structure'. It was obvious that Yu Jiaojiao's field of vision far exceeded that of Song Shuhang's while in the Earth Escape Technique.
"What kind of structure is it?" Song Shuhang inquired.
"From the looks of it, it should be a subway station … With the development of technology, it's becoming more and more difficult for us cultivators to find a peaceful place to cultivate. It's still a bit better for us sea tribes, but it's especially troublesome for human cultivators. In the past, cultivators only needed to hide in the deep mountains and forests, and they wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed. But now, there are fewer and fewer deep mountains and forests that they can hide in. Even underground, in the sky, and at the bottom of the sea, there are human footprints. A lot of powerful cultivator sects simply opened their own independent space and moved their entire sect, as well as the spirit vein, into it, "Yu Jiaojiao said.
Song Shuhang laughed dryly.
"Oh right, try not to talk to me from now on. I have to focus on maintaining the Earth Escape Technique. I didn't expect that carrying one person using the Earth Escape Technique would be more tiring than carrying ten people using the Sword Kinesis Flight technique. I can't be distracted, "Yu Jiaojiao said.
"No problem!" Song Shuhang quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say anything else. What if he got stuck in the ground? For the sake of his own safety, he definitely couldn't disturb Yu Jiaojiao at this time.
The Earth Escape Technique continued.
Song Shuhang could only feel that the surrounding environment was quickly changing, but because there was no reference point, he also didn't know how far he and Yu Jiaojiao had traveled through the Earth Escape Technique.
Right at this time, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear.
"What is it this time? Yu Jiaojiao? "Song Shuhang subconsciously asked.
However, Yu Jiaojiao didn't say anything.
Song Shuhang found that something had changed next to his body — the soil around him was flowing.
When the Earth Escape Technique was first activated, he thought that the ground under his feet was liquefied — but in fact, that was just an illusion. It wasn't the ground that had changed, but their bodies.
Now, Song Shuhang was sure that the soil around him was in a liquid state — was it mud?
Yu Jiaojiao and his body were still quickly moving through this layer of what seemed to be mud.
But moving through the mud consumed more energy for Yu Jiaojiao. She was now clenching her teeth and sprinting forward, so she didn't have time to answer Song Shuhang.
After moving for a while, Yu Jiaojiao's answer came slowly. "I can't go on. This journey has consumed a lot of energy. I can't hold on any longer."
"What?!" Song Shuhang's eyes widened. Sister, I'll call you my real sister, okay? Don't scare me! I don't want to get stuck in the ground.
"Clench your teeth. There's an underground river in the distance. Let's rush there and take a rest first!" Yu Jiaojiao said.
Song Shuhang: "…"
Then, Yu Jiaojiao sprinted forward.
About 20 seconds later.
Yu Jiaojiao carried Song Shuhang and leaped forward. Finally, they successfully jumped into an underground river!
Splash. Water splashed in the underground river.
"Hahaha, we're saved." Yu Jiaojiao giggled. She dived into the water and swam around. Like a fish in the sea.
But beside her, Song Shuhang's face was pale.
Yu Jiaojiao asked, "Shuhang, what's wrong?"
"Jiaojiao, how far are we from the finish line?" Song Shuhang asked bitterly.
"Two-thirds of the distance." Yu Jiaojiao thought for a while and answered.
"I don't think I can make it." Song Shuhang sighed faintly. He touched his stomach. "I can't eat anymore."
"What?" Yu Jiaojiao blinked her small eyes and asked in confusion.
"Mud, I mean … I can't eat anymore mud!" Song Shuhang said and put his finger into his mouth, wanting to vomit.
Yu Jiaojiao felt so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
…
…
Just now, during the last 20 seconds of Yu Jiaojiao's sprint, Song Shuhang discovered to his horror that there was a problem with the 'Earth Traversing Technique'.
The state of 'fog' around his mouth was weakening. Although it was still 'fog' and could barely maintain the effect of the 'Earth Traversing Technique', something unexpected happened — the muddy water around Song Shuhang suddenly poured into his mouth!
Song Shuhang ate a mouthful of muddy water.
He quickly closed his mouth — but at this time, the state of 'fog' around his nostrils was weakening.
The muddy water was about to enter his nostrils!
Song Shuhang quickly used his hands to cover his nose and mouth. He didn't want to become a cultivator that drowned in the muddy water while using the 'Earth Traversing Technique'.
After covering his nose and mouth, the muddy water finally stopped entering his nose and mouth.
At that time, Song Shuhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
But just as he relaxed, something even more frightening happened — the muddy water actually directly appeared in his stomach!
It was as if the muddy water could use a spatial technique. It passed through his stomach and appeared there.
Song Shuhang couldn't understand this principle at all!
The effect of the 'Earth Traversing Technique' around his mouth and nose had disappeared, so why did the muddy water directly appear in his stomach? This didn't make sense!
Oh, right. Cultivation was originally something that was beyond science.
But this wasn't 'cultivation' either! The state of 'Earth Traversing Technique' around his stomach hadn't been lifted! Why did the muddy water directly appear in his stomach?
Could it be that, apart from his mouth, there was another part of his body that he didn't notice that the effect of the 'Earth Traversing Technique' had disappeared?
In any case, no matter what the reason was, the muddy water still filled Song Shuhang's stomach.
Later on, after Yu Jiaojiao brought him through the muddy area, the muddy water also began to directly appear in Song Shuhang's stomach.
What the hell!
In the end, Song Shuhang's stomach was filled with muddy water.
… …
… …
At this time, Song Shuhang had already erased the thought of learning the 'Earth Traversing Technique' from his mind — even if he wanted to learn it in the future, he had to do it under the premise that he was safe.
The taste of having a stomach full of muddy water was too refreshing.
… …
… …
After five minutes, with the help of Yu Jiaojiao's water-type technique, Song Shuhang finally got rid of the muddy water in his stomach.
At this moment, he finally experienced the pain of the common people during the chaotic times of ancient times. How hungry must one be to eat muddy water!?
"Shuhang, are we still going to continue?" Yu Jiaojiao asked, feeling particularly embarrassed — she had overestimated the level of her 'Earth Traversing Technique'.
The main reason was that she was a mixed-blood of a water-type Yu Jiaojiao and a Flood Dragon, and was proficient in water-type Daoist techniques.
Also, of the five elements … Earth countered water!
The fact that Yu Jiaojiao was able to learn the 'Earth Traversing Technique' was already due to the bonus of her Flood Dragon bloodline.
Now, if she were to carry another person and use the 'Earth Traversing Technique', it would indeed be somewhat beyond her abilities.
"Continue! We're already one-third of the way there, we can't let all our previous efforts go to waste! "Song Shuhang gritted his teeth.
Yu Jiaojiao said, "But, if I can't hold on, you'll have to eat a stomach full of muddy water again."
"That's easy," Song Shuhang suggested, "Jiaojiao, for the rest of the journey, we'll divide it into four sections. Every quarter of the way, we'll find a place to stop and rest. If we can't find a place to rest, we'll take advantage of the fact that your 'Earth Traversing Technique' is still in effect and blow up a hole to rest! "
"Okay, let's do that." Yu Jiaojiao nodded.
Thereupon, after resting for another five minutes, Yu Jiaojiao and Song Shuhang once again used the 'Earth Traversing Technique'!
* * * * * *
One hour later.
Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao finally arrived at the entrance of their destination — it was a tall passage.
When Yu Jiaojiao said the word 'here', Song Shuhang's eyes became a little moist.
Then, under Jiaojiao's lead, the two entered the passage and headed towards the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery' branch in the Jiangnan area.
Soon, the two arrived at the end of the passage.
However, what appeared in front of them wasn't the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery' branch, but a huge circular hole.
There wasn't a single person inside!
"Where's the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery'?" Yu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. When she was little, her father had brought her here. This was clearly the place!
Song Shuhang looked at the huge hole. It was clear that this place was the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery' branch in the past. However, the entire branch had disappeared.
"Could it be that the branch here was destroyed by someone?" Yu Jiaojiao looked at the huge hole in front of her and was puzzled.
"There aren't any traces of a battle." Song Shuhang searched the hole. Soon, he saw a faint light in a corner of the huge hole. "Jiaojiao, there seems to be something there!"
"Let's go take a look." Yu Jiaojiao said.
… …
… …
The two hurriedly ran to the place where the faint light was.
There were two small formations engraved there.
"The formation on the left is the 'Spirit Gathering Formation'. I don't understand the other formation, but it seems to be a fire-type formation. It seems to be used for illumination?" Yu Jiaojiao said.
Used for illumination?
The entire branch of the 'Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery' had disappeared. Only a formation for illumination was left here. Could it be that there was something below?
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and felt around under the illumination of the formation.
"There's something!" He quickly swept away the dust under the illumination formation.
Soon, Song Shuhang cleared out a metal plate-like object.
