The tunnel was narrow, only allowing two people to walk side by side, and it was also very short. Luo Jun just raised his head to pass, while Gu Zuo had to lower his head and bend down.

The two of them walked downward for a while before the road began to level off. Gu Zuo estimated that it might be three or four feet above the ground, and the dig was still quite deep.

At this time, a fork appeared, and one branch extended sideways and backwards. It was deep and dark with no end in sight. It can be imagined that when they were digging, Elder Lin, Xin Changgeng and others really planned to dig all the way to the north. This plan was grand.

The other path is the way in front of you. Luo Jun is leading the Heavenly Escape Sword, and Gu Zuo is following behind using his Taoist Pursuit Technique, proceeding cautiously.

After walking forward for about a moment, about a mile or so, Gu Zuo patted Luo Jun from behind and pointed diagonally upward on the right side. There was a small hole there. You couldn't really tell it if you weren't paying attention.

Luo Jun's Heavenly Escape Sword suddenly pierced the hole and twisted around. With a "squeaking" sound, the two pangolin rats fell down and twisted into a ball of flesh and blood.

A few feet further, there was another red flame centipede as thick as a forearm hidden above the head, but it was still killed by the Sky Escape Sword. This kind of centipede is a good material for brewing spiritual wine, so it was immediately collected by Gu Zuo.

Just walking and walking like this, stopping and walking, we encountered more and more monsters in front of us, and even spirit bats, which came from various holes. Among Gu Zuo's storage magic weapons, the only one was red.

I collected dozens of flaming centipedes.

Even if Luo Jun is a late-stage Jindan cultivator, he is still very tired at this moment. Gu Zuo has been using the pursuit technique for a long time, which consumes a lot of energy.

Fortunately, the monsters appear sporadically, and there is no danger of being surrounded in the tunnel, so I can cope with it, but then I won't be able to move forward.

There are a large number of monster beasts densely packed in the tunnel ahead. In the Gu Zuoling Realm display, the hedgehogs formed a thin strip of light, and all kinds of cries were heard together.

These monsters are attacking a magic circle inside. The magic circle is constantly shaking, causing the tunnel to tremble slightly.

They were more than twenty feet away from where the monster beasts gathered. Fortunately, the tunnel was dug with a certain curvature, otherwise they might have been discovered by the spirit bats. If so many monster beasts turned around and attacked them, in this terrain,

, even Luo Jun, who was in the late Jindan stage, couldn't withstand it, and Gu Zuo estimated that his Tao soldiers couldn't withstand it either.

The two of them hurriedly took a few steps back, out of sight. Luo Jun turned around and asked, "What should I do?"

Gu Zuo counted the number in the sea of ​​qi and replied: "More than three hundred." After thinking about it, he summoned two groups of Taoist soldiers and started digging holes on both sides.

Luo Jun came to his senses and began to help. Each of them led a group of Taoist soldiers and quickly dug out two grooves, one on the left and one on the right. Then they continued to dig several deep pits down the middle of the corridor,

The flat tunnel was filled with potholes and made it difficult to navigate.

After getting ready, it was already half an hour later. Both groups of Taoist soldiers had exhausted their external mana and returned to the Qihai Cave to recuperate.

Gu Zuo redeployed two groups of Taoist soldiers and hid them on both sides. He made preparations with Luo Jun, and then sent out the Taoist Butcher.

The Taoist butcher came behind the monster beasts, and a pair of axes flew out, hitting the group of monster beasts, and killed two spirit bats. The monster beasts were surprised to find someone behind them, and they immediately chased twenty or thirty of them.

The butcher led the monsters into the ambush circle. Several monsters fell into the pit, while the other monsters continued to chase the butcher. Suddenly, the Taoist swords hidden in the grooves on both sides came out and killed them all in a short time.

The butcher went to lure the enemy again, this time his movements were bigger, and he stirred up a hornet's nest. Hundreds of monsters rushed over and crowded in the narrow tunnel, making a squeaking noise that made people's scalp numb.

The battle instantly became fierce. Gu Zuo quickly mobilized two more groups of Taoist soldiers to fight the monsters from both sides of the passage. The monsters in the ambush circle kept biting and biting while being killed by dozens of magic swords.

Soldiers, the monster beasts behind pushed the monster beasts in front with all their strength, and the tunnel became a mess.

Luo Jun and Gu Zuo, who were hiding behind the Taoist soldiers, each used their magical weapons. The sharp sword light of the Sky Escape Sword and the light and dark blade light of the horns were constantly killing the monsters crowded in the middle, and the results were brilliant.

After the hundreds of monsters were slaughtered, half of the Taoist soldiers were scattered. The two took out the spirit stones to restore their mana. About half an hour later, Gu Zuo continued to summon two groups of Taoist soldiers to complete the array.

After doing this again and again, the monsters at the end of the tunnel were finally cleared away. During this battle, the ground was filled with corpses of monsters, like purgatory.

Gu Zuo collected the red flame centipedes whose bodies were slightly intact, and got nearly a hundred more, and then he and Luo Jun came to the end of the tunnel.

At the end was a dilapidated boulder, with a large pile of gravel and soil piled underneath. The Heavenly Escape Sword flew up and struck, but was blocked by the blue light, but this light was very weak and could no longer be supported.

elephant.

Gu Zuo shouted: "Elder Lin, fellow Taoists, reinforcements are coming!"

After shouting several times, an echo came from inside the boulder: "Reinforcements? Where are fellow Taoists coming to rescue?" The voice sounded exactly like that of Elder Lin.

Gu Zuo was overjoyed: "It's me, Elder Lin. I'm Gu Zuo. Master Xin and fellow Taoist Yang brought us here. It's Xin Changgeng and Yang Sanfa! Come here quickly, the monsters here have been eliminated!"

The tunnel trembled slightly, the magic circle stopped, and the boulder crashed down with dirt and gravel. Gu Zuo and Luo Jun moved backwards, and after waiting for a while, a man emerged from the ashes. He was covered in mud and could not distinguish his shape.

He looked so beautiful and shouted: "It's coming, it's coming, thank you fellow Taoist."

One after another came over, Gu Zuo asked Luo Jun to lead them to evacuate, and he continued to wait. When he counted to the twenty-third number, the man patted Gu Zuo: "It's really you, Xiao Gu!"

Gu Zuo looked carefully and saw that it was the unkempt Elder Lin.

This was not the time for conversation, so Gu Zuo asked: "Is there more later?"

Elder Lin said: "No, they are all dead. Let's go quickly. The Lihuo Formation at the other end can no longer support it."

The Lihuo Formation is a high-end magic formation refined by the Nanhua Sect, worth 600 guan. It is a small mountain-protecting magic formation and cannot last long under such an intense attack.

Gu Zuo pushed the boulder up again to block the road, mobilized a group of Taoist soldiers, and retreated while destroying the tunnel. After destroying more than ten feet, he and Elder Lin turned around and chased the brigade.

After rushing out from the underground, the place above was already filled with monks, all of them gray-headed and exhausted.

There was no time for them to rest, so Gu Zuo led the way first, and everyone followed behind. Luo Jun pressed the formation and fled eastward towards South Wucheng.

The surrounding monsters were all attracted to the three mountains, and there were far fewer of them along the way. With Gu Zuo leading the way, they escaped seven or eight miles away by nightfall.

Of course Gu Zuo wanted to continue walking at night, but the people he rescued were all injured and exhausted. They couldn't walk any more. He could only find a cave and kill a few poisonous spiders inside. Everyone stayed here for the time being.

.

The remaining spiritual stones on everyone's bodies had long been used up. Xin Changgeng took out the spiritual stones he had saved in the past two months and gave each of them one piece to help them recover their mana.
