Chapter 119: Ten Thousand Powers, Four Layers of Strength

The hearts of the people in Baiyuanji on the ground were boiling with excitement because of the scene that made people think so much.

Whether they were loyal to Anleji or hated Anleji, they had to take action.

But because they have no clear goals, the actions of these people are like those of headless flies, meaningless and restless.

Apart from making the atmosphere in Baiyuanji even more tense, it did not help in finding any valuable clues.

On the contrary, because too many people came and went around the scene, too many old traces were destroyed and covered up, leaving too many messy and worthless new traces, which added new difficulties to possible tracking.

Geng Xuan had anticipated the changes in Baiyuanji on the ground, but he didn't take it to heart now.

He just led the team and rushed forward in the dim underground tunnel.

The light in Baiyuanji's underground tunnel is weaker and darker than that in Kangleji's underground tunnel.

Speaking of the underground tunnels of Kangleji, in most areas, you can still barely see things within three or four steps.

In the underground of Baiyuanji, if there is no fire to illuminate, you can only see vaguely within one or two steps.

But for Geng Xuan, it was not a big hindrance.

It just shortened the distance from a hundred steps to fifty or sixty steps.

As a leader and pathfinder, this is enough.

Geng Xuan led the team forward quickly.

Within the initial distance of about ten miles, the tunnel is a straight line approaching Baiyuanji.

This is also the direction of the other end of the "bowstring" that Geng Xuan has located in his mind.

Then, the team encountered the first fork in the road.

This is a "Y"-shaped intersection.

Geng Xuan used the other end of the "bowstring" that was clearly anchored in his mind as a reference, and without any hesitation, he turned into the tunnel in the front left.

After that, there were more and more forks in the road.

"T" intersection.

"Y" shaped intersection.

"crossroads.

There are even forks that are connected to five, six or even more tunnel entrances at the same time.

If other people were faced with such an environment and an astronomical number of combinations of choices, they would quickly become confused and overwhelmed, not knowing what to do. However, Geng Xuan was able to make a choice at the fastest speed every time.

Sometimes Geng Xuan would choose to turn left, sometimes he would choose to turn right, and sometimes he would ignore the tunnels on both sides and go straight forward.

There is no tunnel underground in Baiyuanji that is directly connected to the other end of the "bowstring". All Geng Xuan can do is to use it as a reference and repeatedly adjust the deviated direction.

If it veers to the left, turn right.

If it's off to the right, turn left.

Try your best to keep your route from deviating too much from the "dummy bowstring line" that only exists in his mind.

However, there were a few "mistakes".

That was the new tunnel he had chosen, the end of which connected to somewhere on the ground.

Just go up the stairs and you will enter Baiyuanji.

Geng Xuan had no intention of joining the team at Baiyuanji at this time. Every time he saw such stairs from afar, he would simply carry Cheng Hui and Hong Quan behind him and turn to the other side of the team. The whole team would turn around on the spot, with the front team becoming the back team, and continue to rush forward.

This situation occurred five times in total.

The fourth time was the most special, because just as Geng Xuan saw an upward staircase appearing in the distance and was about to lead the team back, he saw a man with a strong red mark on his head walking quickly down the stairs.

Seeing this, Geng Xuan didn't hesitate to throw a stone at him, knocking him unconscious, and then asked a group of Giant Bear Gang members to take him with them on their journey.

In fact, this was not the first person who was knocked unconscious by him and then carried away by the Giant Bear Gang members.

Before this man, three "trophies" that had been obtained by chance had been knocked unconscious by Geng Xuan, and then handed over to Luo Qing and others to distribute among themselves, and then they hurried on their journey together.

Among these three people, two were secretly hiding in the tunnel he was passing through. Before Geng Xuan could see their figures clearly, he had already seen the red names above their heads from afar.

Then Geng Xuan threw a stone at them, turning them into the team's "trophies".

There was another person who was also traveling in the tunnel, walking towards Geng Xuan and others.

Before he noticed Geng Xuan and the others, Geng Xuan had already seen him approaching quickly with a conspicuous red name on his head.

What else was there to say? Geng Xuan knocked him out.

These four people were all taken care of by Luo Qing and others, plus the six bodies of Cao Duo and others, all of them were taken care of by Luo Qing, Wang Lu and other 23 members of the Giant Bear Gang.

This undoubtedly added an extra burden to the team that was hurrying on the road, but Geng Xuan could sense that the Giant Bear Gang members not only did not feel distressed by this burden, but were happy to accept it.

Geng Xuan had noticed it a long time ago. As his performance became more and more exaggerated, the weak and useless members of the Giant Bear Gang were excited. They felt that they had finally found a real big shot, but at the same time, they were in constant torment of anxiety and fear.

Everyone has a worry, that is, they are "not up to their position".

Everyone tried their best to show their value, as long as it did not exceed their limit. The more tasks Geng Xuan assigned them and the more pressure he added, the happier they were.

If Geng Xuan ignored them and did everything on his own, they would be terrified instead.

……

After five U-turns, as the team passed the midpoint of the "dotted bowstring line", that is, after walking more than half the distance, Geng Xuan clearly felt that the number of tunnel forks was rapidly decreasing.

After passing five more forks in the road, Geng Xuan discovered that the direction he was heading along the tunnel almost completely coincided with the "bowstring".

The distance to the other end of the "bowstring" is also rapidly closing.

When the distance was less than a mile, Geng Xuan smiled with relief.

The others didn't know what Geng Xuan was thinking, but everyone could clearly feel that the light in the dim underground tunnel was becoming brighter and brighter.

From only being able to see blurry within one or two steps, to three to five steps, to seven to eight steps.

After turning a ninety-degree right-angle bend, everything dozens of steps away came clearly into everyone's sight.

"who!"

Suddenly, a shout that was made with suppressed fear but with a trembling voice that completely exposed the panic in his heart came from the bright entrance dozens of steps away.

Although they had expected it, when Luo Qing and others heard this familiar voice, they couldn't help but be shocked!

Unbelievable!

Unable to understand!

Could it be that the gang leader already knew that there was an underground interconnecting line between the two tunnel entrances?

Otherwise, everything that is happening now cannot be explained at all!
But they all knew that the entrance to the tunnel was revealed by Cheng Hui.

Before this, the gang leader didn't even know whether there was a tunnel entrance here, let alone knowing that there was an underground route connecting it to another tunnel entrance!

But if this wasn't the case, how could the gang leader find the only correct path in this intricate underground network?!

I can’t figure it out. There are so many things I can’t figure out.

The figure leading everyone out seemed more and more mysterious in their eyes.

The bright light from outside shone in, making the outline of the back look a little blurry and dreamy, as if it was not real.

Everyone was shocked, shook off all distracting thoughts in their minds, and quickly followed the gang leader's footsteps.

There are so many things they don't understand, but they also understand one thing very well.

This is definitely the thickest, largest, and most promising thigh they will ever encounter in their lives.

They are lucky enough to be the first ones to hold on to this big thick leg, and they cannot let go even if they die!
……

"Ding Yong, don't be nervous, it's us."

Geng Xuan was afraid that Ding Yong and the others outside might get scared, so he spoke to comfort them in advance.

Ding Yong and his companions, who had originally led people to guard outside the cave, ready to attack as soon as someone came out of the cave, were all stunned.

How could it be the gang leader's voice?
Shouldn't the gang leader be outside handling the situation?

How did he appear in the tunnel again?
Ding Yong and his companions were looking at each other in confusion when Geng Xuan quickly stepped out of the tunnel, followed by Cheng Hui and Hong Quan.

Then Luo Qing, Wang Xi, Teng Yu and others came out of the tunnel one after another.

They walked out of the tunnel either empty-handed, or alone or in pairs, carrying a corpse or an unconscious person.

When they passed by the confused and bewildered brothers like Ding Yong, they would smile and pat them on the shoulders. Outside the tunnel was a hollow cave eroded by water. It was large in area and had a small entrance, but it was very empty inside.

Under your feet is a hard, rocky ground with gentle undulations like water ripples, and all around you are hard, integrated rocks.

The location can be said to be very hidden.

The convoy that seemed to have disappeared out of thin air in the minds of everyone in Baiyuanji was all here.

After the two teams reunited in this way, everyone was very excited and seemed to have endless things to share with others.

But they all abide by the rules and don't reveal a word to anyone, even if that person is also a brother in the gang.

——Now, apart from Geng Xuan, the core of the gang, no one would regard the Giant Bear Gang as a makeshift group. Everyone held themselves to the strictest gang rules, even stricter than those of the members of regular gangs.

Geng Xuan walked to the side and waved to Luo Qing, Wang Xun, Ding Yong and Teng Yu.

After the four of them came to him, Geng Xuan said, "I have a task for you."

"Now, what we need to do is to transport all the supplies in this carriage to the tunnel on the other side of Chiwu Mountain through the underground tunnel route we just walked through."

"We almost have to cross the complex tunnel network under Baiyuanji, and if my prediction is correct, Baiyuanji should have discovered the accident of the convoy by now.

The situation above ground will become increasingly chaotic, and this will directly affect the underground.

Moreover, Anleji will soon get the news and rush over, and the situation will become even more complicated at that time.

Therefore, the faster the entire transfer process is, the better. It would be best if we all move to the tunnel on the other side of Chiwu Mountain before the Anleji troops arrive, and clean up all the traces here and in the tunnels along the way.

This is the safest option for us.”

Geng Xuan first explained his requirements, then looked at the tunnel entrance, and then pointed to the nearly one hundred neatly parked carriages, and stated the practical difficulties.

“You have all seen the size of the tunnel.

People and horses can pass through, but these carriages definitely cannot pass.

Moreover, there are several sharp turns along the way.

These are practical difficulties.

You guys need to figure out how to maximize the efficiency of the transfer and come up with a feasible solution as soon as possible."

Luo Qing, Wang Xi and the other three nodded solemnly, accepted the task and reunited with the rest of the gang to immediately start a discussion.

The first solution that comes to mind, of course, is to break the supplies in the carriage into small pieces and have people carry the supplies on their backs or on horses. After doing this for dozens of trips, all the supplies can be transferred underground into the tunnel in the direction of Chiwu Mountain.

But it is obvious that this inefficient approach is just something everyone is thinking about, and it is not worth discussing with others at all.

Geng Xuan glanced at Hong Quan and Cheng Hui, who were standing nearby and not participating in the discussion, and frowned, "Why aren't you going?"

The two of them really wanted to say, what does this have to do with us.

But in the end, he didn't have the courage, so he lowered his head, turned around and walked towards where Luo Qing and others were.

Geng Xuan said again: "Wait, take him with you."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan pointed in one direction.

There, Xie Hang's hands were tied behind his back with iron chains and locked to a cart shaft. His reaction to Geng Xuan and others' unexpected appearance from the tunnel was the most indifferent.

Now he is standing there dejected and listless.

Cheng Hui and Hong Quan paused, walked over to Xie Hang, untied the chains on his hands, and pulled him into the discussion with Luo Qing and others.

……

Geng Xuan leaned against a carriage closest to the cave exit and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked up at the sky outside. It seemed like a long time had passed since he sealed the tunnel entrance in the direction of Chiwu Mountain and led everyone to explore the underground, but in fact, only about an hour and a half had passed.

This was due to several "mistakes" and many trips back and forth.

Now that the direction is clear, if Geng Xuan acts alone, he can open the entire underground route in a quarter of an hour at most.

If we bring Luo Qing and others along, considering their speed of action, the time can be shortened to forty to fifty minutes.

Luo Qing and others were still brainstorming, but Geng Xuan closed his eyes and stopped thinking about the convoy's supplies, underground lines, and the like.

Instead, focus on your own cultivation.

Now, it is the afternoon of October 8th.

It has been ten days since I started learning the 290,000 Jun Jin last month and broke through to the Marrow Refining Realm.

With sufficient supply of cultivation resources, the level of marrow refining increases extremely fast, changing every day.

However, compared with the entry levels of skin refining, flesh refining, blood refining, and bone refining, the daily growth rate of marrow refining is obviously smaller.

Until today, the achievement of marrow refining has barely reached about 13%, basically exhausting the potential for entering the "Wanjun Power".

Next, if the level of "Wanjun Jin" cannot be improved any further, the marrow refining achievement will basically not be improved much.

We can only rely on more resources, more time, and slowly move forward in months or even years.

For Geng Xuan, this naturally wouldn't be a problem.

Geng Xuan first reached into his arms, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out five blood-replenishing pills, and swallowed them all into his stomach.

"promote."

As Geng Xuan's thoughts became clear, eight points of good luck were consumed.

"Wanjun Jin" has been upgraded from entry-level to minor success level.

The related cultivation insights, operation techniques, and experiences in all aspects all flowed into Geng Xuan's mind like running water.

At the same time, Geng Xuan felt that the strength in his body was also flowing rapidly.

If someone comes close and stares at his skin carefully, they can even find that there seem to be tiny and dense beads rolling under his skin.

This caused his skin to have very obvious ups and downs.

As the strength in the body flows and surges, the pressure is transmitted deeply into the brain and deep into the bone marrow.

Let the marrow refining level, which had originally stopped at "13%," take a big step forward again.

The medicinal power of the five blood-replenishing pills quickly flowed through his limbs and bones, turning into a continuous driving force.

When the medicinal effect of the blood-replenishing pills was exhausted, the propulsion became obviously weak, and Geng Xuan stopped practicing the "Wanjun Jin" of the minor success realm.

He tried to stretch out his palm and strike the void, and a force surged into his palm.

Before this force was released, three more forces came in succession.

The more the force is generated and surges out, the faster it is and the greater its power is, forming a superimposed shock at the palm of your hand, with the effect of four waves in one blow, each wave higher than the previous one.

"Boom-pop!"

When these four forces condensed in the palm of the hand at the same time, a larger and more condensed palm-shaped force surged into the void, and then exploded with a deafening bang.

This power made Geng Xuan stunned.

Not to mention the others, as the loud noise echoed inside the cave cavity, everyone's head felt buzzing.

Even the horses that were quietly staying together began to look panicked and agitated.

It was only when Da Huang and Ba Xiao showed up in time that they calmed down again.

When the Giant Bear Gang members saw this scene, they were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time, they all showed a look of pride on their faces.

However, Cheng Hui and Hong Quan couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw helplessness and fear in each other's eyes.

Although he was not very satisfied, Geng Xuan also realized that this place was not suitable for further attempts.

He could only give up and circulate his immense strength within his body, feeling the changes before and after the breakthrough.

“When I first started, I could only do two waves in one stroke, but now I can do four waves in one stroke, doubling the number.

The increase in power will be even greater!"

Geng Xuan also truly felt how greatly his strength increased with every step forward after reaching the Marrow Refining Stage.

Even so, according to the standards of the fifth stage of marrow refining, he is still in the early stage of marrow refining.

"In my opinion, the fifth stage of marrow refining is still too few. Just in this early stage, it can be divided into at least five major levels." Geng Xuan thought to himself.

Of course, this is just a joke. If we really go into it in detail, each marrow refining realm can have a separate level, which would make no sense.

At this moment, Luo Qing and others ended their discussion and walked towards Geng Xuan.
