(Supplemental for ten months, 2,300 monthly passes, plus updates.)
"So that's how it is!" Miao Yi chuckled, looking extremely guilty.
"Alright, let's keep digging!" Lie Huan turned around and jumped back into the well, quite self-consciously.
However, at that moment, the winds suddenly began to howl and the clouds began to gather. The sound of friction could be heard everywhere, causing one's scalp to go numb.
"What's going on?" Lie Huan emerged from the well again. Without needing Miao Yi to explain, he raised his head and saw what was going on.
Fine dust particles were floating in the air, and the sound of friction was coming from these dust particles.
Lie Huan scooped them up and opened his palm for a look. Miao Yi also waved his hand to filter some of the dust into his palm. It turned out to be metal dust from the ground, and it had actually come out at this moment. The two of them looked at each other. This was definitely not normal, and they quickly grew vigilant.
The dust particles were swept up into the night sky by the strong winds, and as the dark clouds in the sky rapidly churned, electric snakes could be seen weaving through the clouds. In the end, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
Xiu xiu xiu …
Countless rays of light suddenly burst out from the dark clouds, shooting down from the sky like a violent storm. It was an astonishing sight.
Lie Huan abruptly transformed into his human form and reduced the area of attack. At the same time, he pulled Miao Yi to his side, and the two large blades in his hands glowed with a purple light. They abruptly expanded to the size of two shields, and he held them up above their heads. Clang clang clang! A series of explosions quickly resounded above them, and the intensity of the attacks made their scalps go numb.
The ground crackled, and they watched helplessly as countless holes were punched into the ground. It turned out to be tiny metal cones raining down from the sky, each one piercing deep into the ground. With Miao Yi's cultivation, it was difficult to defend against such power. Fortunately, Lie Huan was there to help him.
Boom! The deep well that had been dug at the back could not withstand such a sudden attack and had already collapsed.
This deep well was the first time in his life that Lie Huan had worked so hard for. Even though it wasn't worth much, it still made Lie Huan tremble in pain. It was the first time in his life that it had been destroyed just like that.
After the rain of metal cones continued for a full quarter of an hour, the ground was already riddled with holes. It gave people a feeling that was too horrible to look at.
On the other hand, the wave of transcendence energy used to block the attack with the saber and the shield seemed to have attracted the attention of the rolling dark clouds in the sky. Thus, they were able to locate the two of them. Pa! A bolt of lightning struck the ground not far from them, giving them a fright. In the end, there was no further movement.
Lie Huan stared at the collapsed well. Gritting his teeth, he lowered the twin sabers in his hands. Suddenly, the ground trembled once more. Cracks appeared where the lightning bolt struck. Another aborigine … No! It was not just an aborigine. Suddenly, another bolt of lightning descended from the dark clouds in the sky, striking the aborigine's body. There was a crisp explosion, and the mud on the aborigine's body fell off, revealing its metal body. After the electric current flowed through its body and disappeared, the metal man pounced at the two of them.
These metal men were obviously not like the natives from before, who would only attack them after the two of them attacked first. The monster jumped out and attacked.
Bang! Lie Huan sent him flying with a single kick. Even though the situation was bizarre and strange, it was still hard for the Linglong Treasure Pagoda to produce anything that could directly threaten a Golden Lotus cultivator.
Miao Yi thought to himself, 'This is bad. It's obviously here to force them to attack,' so he quickly dodged.
As expected, the moment Lie Huan attacked, the natives from before reappeared. However, the metal man stopped attacking, and Lie Huan immediately circled around in the sky. He circled around the aborigine and didn't fight it. Otherwise, there would be no end to it.
After much difficulty, he finally defeated the aborigine. Lie Huan landed on the ground, thinking he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, another bolt of lightning struck the metal man from the dark clouds hovering in the sky, and the metal man pounced at Lie Huan again.
Lie Huan stopped fighting it, and instead circled around it like he was circling the aborigine. However, every time the metal man ran out of energy, a bolt of lightning would descend from the sky and strike its body. This continued to energize the metal man.
'This is bad. It'll definitely die of exhaustion! ' 'You can't fight back yet. If you do, it'll be time for the natives to take the field again. '
Lie Huan yelled, "Niu Er, hurry up and think of something."
Miao Yi was also frustrated. For the Exquisite Refinement Sect to refine such an immoral transcendent artifact, they were simply not giving anyone a chance to survive. No matter how high his cultivation was, he wouldn't be able to deal with it!
Miao Yi rubbed his face with both hands, then scratched his head. Suddenly, he shouted, "Yao King, fight back. Bring out another aborigine."
"Are you kidding me?" Lie Huan turned around and bellowed.
"It's hard to explain it to you. Just do as I say."
"Don't screw me over. I'll trust you this once." Lie Huan bellowed, then immediately stopped and turned around. With a flash, he dashed back and violently slashed the metal man in two. The metal man immediately exploded into metallic dust and fell to the ground.
Bang! Another bolt of lightning struck the ground, and the metallic dust once again gathered together to form the metal man.
However, there was no further movement. Another aborigine had already appeared to do the job. Miao Yi then shouted, "Don't fight back. Play it to death like before."
That sounded more like it. Lie Huan had no objections and immediately did as he was told. As he circled around, he cursed, "This transcendent artifact is too vicious. It's obvious that it's trying to exhaust the person trapped inside to death. That old bastard Mo Wen will get his just desserts sooner or later!"
Just as the aborigine was about to crumble, Miao Yi suddenly punched the ground. Another aborigine emerged from the side and charged at Miao Yi again.
Miao Yi had measured his strength when he attacked, so this aborigine's attack power wasn't too strong. Miao Yi directly used the armor artifact he was wearing to take the beating.
Lie Huan's aborigine was on the verge of crumbling. He was on guard against the metal man, but he didn't see another bolt of lightning appear in the sky, granting the metal man the momentum to attack. He couldn't help turning around to look at Miao Yi, who was still taking the beating, and asked, "What's going on?"
As he was being beaten, Miao Yi replied, "As expected. As expected, as long as we maintain the transcendence energy fluctuations when we're fighting these monsters, we can fool others. So this is the flaw. I thought this Exquisite Pagoda was truly a flawless transcendent artifact. Before this, the Exquisite Refinement Sect Master didn't make a sound at all. He just had to wait until we were digging a hole to make a sound. I was a little worried that trouble would come. As expected, it did. "
Seeing that the aborigine attacking him was about to crumble again, Miao Yi punched the ground again. The aborigine became energetic again and continued to beat him up.
The corner of Lie Huan's mouth twitched. This was the first time he had met someone who deserved a beating. He was actually asking for it. However, when he thought about it, he wasn't much better off. He walked over to Miao Yi's side and asked, "What does this have to do with the current situation?"
Miao Yi asked, "Can't you tell? Everything we've experienced while we're trapped here is closely related to the transcendence energy we release. After we figured out the secret behind the attacks and avoided them, there were no longer any transcendence energy fluctuations from the battle. The people outside immediately noticed it, and that's why Old Mo came to greet us. "
Lie Huan asked, "Could it be that the people outside can see what's going on inside?"
Miao Yi replied, "That shouldn't be the case. Before I came in, this pagoda was hovering in midair, and the person controlling the transcendent artifact was controlling it from a distance. I can't say for sure if they could see what's going on inside. Secondly, if they could see what's going on, they wouldn't have waited for you to dig such a deep hole to make a move. Unless they were deliberately toying with you. Lastly, that blanket rain of metal cones just now was clearly meant to force us to retaliate. The transcendence energy fluctuations generated when you tried to defend yourself would immediately allow them to determine our location. The fact that the first thunderbolt chose to strike right beside us is proof enough. Clearly, they were using this as a guide for the attacking metal men. For now, let's assume that the people outside can see what's going on inside. Could it be that the people outside were afraid of us digging this hole, and so they deliberately stopped us? Does this mean that we've found a way to approach the main body of the Exquisite Pagoda? Even if these conjectures aren't valid, we'll know what's going on once we try it out. We can only test it out one step at a time. We don't understand this Exquisite Pagoda at all. If we don't suffer a little, we won't be able to solve the problem at all. "
"You have a point! No wonder the Celestial Nation sent you to Tempest Tavern as a spy. You're pretty smart. "Lie Huan chuckled, as though he could see hope. He asked," How do we try? "
"There's no other way. We'll just continue digging. But this time, it's my turn to dig. You're digging too slowly. "
Lie Huan was taken aback. "Are you sure you can dig faster than me?"
Miao Yi punched the ground again, giving the native attacking him a boost of vigor. He then replied, "I don't know what to do. Just now, when he forced us to, we really didn't know how long we would have to dig with our bare hands. But now that he's forcing us, he's actually given me an idea. I'll just dig with all my might and use my transcendence energy to dig. How long do you think this underground layer can hold me back? The space of this Exquisite Pagoda may seem huge, but both you and I can tell that it's not as big as we imagine it to be. It's just that they used some sort of trick to make it seem infinitely large. That's why I'm certain that no matter how deep this underground space is, it can't be that deep. Not to mention, this piece of land has always been the same. The only things that change are the changes in the terrain or camouflage. Without a doubt, this is the foundation of this world. Right now, I can basically conclude that the body of the transcendent artifact must be underground. Dammit. Don't let me find it. If I find it, watch how I destroy the Exquisite Refinement Sect's ten thousand years of hard work! "
Hearing this, Lie Huan was infuriated! However, Lie Huan asked doubtfully, "You're using your transcendence energy to dig with all your might? Are you kidding me? Can you withstand the attacks of these natives? "
Miao Yi, who was taking the beating, said seriously, "Don't I have you here, Supreme Yao Lord? I'll dig with all my might. Don't fight back and help me block the attacks of the natives. With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem for you to block the natives I create with all my might, right? "
Lie Huan was dumbfounded. "You mean, you'll dig, and I'll help you block the attacks?"
Miao Yi laughed dryly. "What else can I do? If you dig with all your might, you can indeed be faster than me. But not only will I be unable to block the attacks of the natives you create, even you won't be able to! Or maybe you can control your strength and dig while taking the attacks while I watch from the sidelines? "
The corner of Lie Huan's lips twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, "A Golden Lotus cultivator can't withstand the attacks of a Red Lotus First Grade cultivator for too long! Forget it. I'll give it a try. You go ahead and dig. Let's not just sit around. "
"Supreme Yao Lord, I'm ready. I'm going to start!" Miao Yi said as he looked at Lie Huan.
Lie Huan patted his chest and stretched his shoulders. He took a deep breath, as though he was preparing himself for a beating. Then, he nodded and said, "Alright. Let's begin!"
