Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Digging Deeper (5/5)
Translator: 549690339
As a top-tier member of the Immortal Pavilion, Wei Fan had access to information channels that were beyond He Song’s reach.
Now, if he wanted to gather more information, He Song could only rely on Wei
Fan.
However, while he expressed this thought, He Song already made a decision in his heart.
Currently, even with a Foundation Establishment master stationed at the Immortal Pavilion making it countless times safer than the outside world.
But not knowing what the powerful force behind the Evil Cultivator was seeking, after a moment of thought, He Song still decided to leave himself a way out.
No matter if Wei Fan could bring him useful information or not.
Nor whether Master Cheng Shan would fight for Immortal Pavilion when a
crisis came.
In short.
When chaos started to rise in the outside world, He Song’s first priority was to ensure his own safety.
As for the others, He Song only had two friends left in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, Wei Fan and Zhao Lin, the rest had already gone to Green Wall Immortal City.
People like his neighbor Lin Cong, and the old man Meng Guan, had told him when they communicated with him, that they had already settled down in Green Wall Immortal City.
Since they could settle down in the Immortal City, there was no need for He Song to worry about them.
He Song was happy to lend a helping hand to his friends when it did not affect himself.
Just like how Wei Fan protected him behind his back when He Song couldn’t protect himself.
But if it would affect him or other people needed help.
Then, sorry.
All considerations had to be made with He Song’s own safety in mind.
If he really can’t help his friends, or if he forcibly helps and it affects his own safety, He Song could only regretfully remain powerless.
At least.
When his power gets stronger in the future.
He could always avenge his friends, if needed.
Anyway, as long as there’s enough time, He Song’s strength would surely continue to grow.
Nevertheless, such a situation is unlikely to occur.
Because whether it is Wei Fan or Zhao Lin, their strengths are stronger than He Song’s at this time.
If they can’t protect themselves and want to seek help, He Song probably can’t help them.
“Alright, since you said so, I will pay attention to this sort of information. If there are any movements, I will definitely inform you in advance, ” Wei Fan quickly agreed after seeing He Song’s expression suddenly turning serious.
He knew that his friend was, indeed, a bit overly cautious.
But, since He Song had spoken, it was just keeping an eye out for some information, and that was no big deal. He was more than happy to help.
Also, Wei Fan, who was very familiar with He Song’s personality, saw something unusual in He Song’s expression.
For a moment, Wei Fan also began to be vigilant about the Evil Cultivator.
After that.
Every day, while comprehending the Amulet Tao Introduction and practicing, He Song added one more thing.
Digging a tunnel!
Because this world possesses the Earth Tunneling Skill, as well as the Earthshaking Skill, which are specifically aimed at the ground.
He Song couldn’t confirm that if his guess might come true, the big power behind the Evil Cultivator would send a Foundation Establishment Master to attack the Immortal Pavilion, could he use the Earth Tunneling Skill to escape at that time?
But, He Song dared not gamble.
Since this world possessed Earth Tunneling Skill and Earthshaking Skill, could the divine sense of Foundation Establishment Master probe under the ground?
What if, during his escape, He Song was suddenly located by the divine sense of the Foundation Establishment Master?
Wouldn’t he be buried without a place to lie?
For his own safety’s sake, He Song felt that digging a deep hole under his room as a backup plan was a much safer option.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave the Immortal Pavilion directly to avoid a possible Foundation Establishment attack.
But.
At present, nothing had been implied, He Song did not know if his guess would come true.
If it does come true, and he hasn’t had time to run by then, having a hole here would make He Song feel a little safer.
Due to his limited information, unable to judge whether his guess was right or wrong, He Song couldn’t guarantee that he would have time to run.
But if there were definite news, or signs of an impending crisis, He Song would immediately choose to leave, rather than hoping that the hole he dug could save his life.
The reason he dug this hole was to be prepared for the unexpected.
It was only one of his escape routes.
Although it was carefully made, it did not mean that this hole would definitely come in handy.
The hole that He Song dug was somewhat special.
It wasn’t the kind that went straight up and down.
From above, even the floor inside He Song’s room was perfectly intact.
From the ground to several meters below, it was all solid.
Earth Tunneling Skill.
With He Song’s current fifth-tier Qi Refining cultivation, under extreme conditions, he could tunnel about five meters underground and travel at an extremely high speed underground.
If it were a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator, according to He Song’s estimate, under extreme conditions, they could tunnel about ten meters underground. When He Song was digging the hole, he first tunneled five meters underground.
When he felt that he couldn’t go down any further, He Song used his storage bag to collect the soil around him into the storage bag.
The space inside the storage bag had been cleared out by He Song, without any items, specifically used to contain soil.
In this way, He Song dug out a space about five meters underground, enough for a person to hunched his back.
As long as He Song curled up, he could barely make do in this space.
Next up, was to continue digging downwards.
While digging, filling the soil on the ceiling.
Ensuring that the soil layer above his head was always solid.
Not until he dug dozens of meters underground and created a room-sized space, stocked with some food and other things, was the construction truly completed.
If there was a hole like this.
So, if one day He Song was really trapped in the Immortal Pavilion.
He could use the Earth Tunneling Skill to tunnel five meters underground, then just like when he was digging the hole, while digging downward, he could fill the soil on the ceiling.
When he reaches the room-sized space that he has opened up, he can arrange the array skills.
In this way, even if the divine sense of the Foundation Establishment Master scans, it would probably not be able to scan dozens of meters underground.
After all, the soil below was filled by himself, just a normal layer of soil without any flaws.
As for the search by a Qi Refining stage cultivator.
That was even less likely to find He Song.
Who would think that He Song, in order to save his life, would dig a hole that is dozens of meters deep to hide in?
The Evil Cultivator could only come and leave with nothing achieved.
Only, while digging the hole, He Song was a bit dissatisfied with his storage bag.
This storage bag was too small.
Even the soil couldn’t be stored much, the soil dug out need to be transported out by himself over and over again.
But thankfully there was the Earth Tunneling Skill. Running a few more times was not a big deal.
The tunnel digging operation lasted for more than ten days.
After more than ten days, when the tunnel was completely formed, He Song no longer paid attention to it.
The tunnel was merely an escape route that He Song, out of caution, left for himself.
If things turn unfavorable, he would certainly run if he could..
