Mythology Returns! Starting with Folklore and Strange Tales

Chapter 80 Art is an Explosion

Those who receive blessings from the patriarch are never wasted.

The technique of burrowing underground is said to have many limitations, but Zhang Wei only understood after testing it that the so-called limitation of 100 meters refers to the pure burrowing depth of 100 meters. If an open space is encountered during the process of diving underground, the depth will be recalculated.

The five rats were also quite effective at transporting goods.

Although he couldn't make the rat monsters fight each other directly, Zhang Wei came up with the same result with just a little thought.

There is no good or bad in techniques; one should look at the effect and the mechanism.

A strong mechanism is what truly matters!

Unfortunately, after being underground for so long, Zhang Wei's patience had been almost completely exhausted.

This dead rat, besides making baby rats, spends all day digging holes underground, right?

Zhang Wei alone killed at least two or three thousand rats along his flight. The evil energy he hastily extracted from these rat monsters was enough to feed the Sleeping Buddha for a good while, not to mention the rat nest itself, which was like a chimney, constantly spewing out evil energy.

From the moment I stepped down, the Eye-Crystal Technique was in constant operation.

If he could, he would like to coexist peacefully with the ley lines that had turned into zombies, just like in the previous silhouette, and help lighten their burden, but obviously that was impossible.

Since the rat demon spoke a few words after the collapse of the top scholar's mansion, it has not uttered a single word, let alone shown its face. This situation is very strange.

He couldn't tell whether the rat demon had run away or was hiding in a real rat nest, preparing to launch a big attack on him.

The former is fine; it's just that two days of effort have been wasted, and we still have to search through all the silhouettes to find this rat demon. But if it's the latter... what kind of method would require more than an hour to hide, and even show signs of lasting longer?

After witnessing the chaotic battle inside the tunnel, Zhang Wei, taking the opportunity to calm down, felt a sense of fear.

Hiding under the tunnel and not coming out, huh?

Alright, alright, you have your ways of dealing with rats, and I have mine. Let's start over and see who's more skilled!

As he spoke, Zhang Wei continued to use his earth-burrowing technique to descend straight down into the deeper part of the rat hole, while simultaneously pulling the backpack behind him to the front and beginning to rummage through it.

Of course, they weren't searching his backpack.

Zhang Wei carried only a few items besides food. He also brought some truly valuable things, but it would be a waste to use them now. Moreover, the situation on the Yellow River was still unclear, so he needed to hold onto his trump cards for a while longer.

So he was rummaging through An Yixi's backpack.

The fleeting glimpse he had seen on the ground earlier allowed him to see what was inside the backpack.

Two large, square-shaped objects with detonators were stacked among a bunch of light meals and fast food.

In the rush of time, Zhang Wei didn't have time to look closely. He only roughly confirmed that An Yixi had brought two gunpowder barrels before rushing into the rat's nest.

Now, upon closer inspection of the backpack, Zhang Wei broke out in a cold sweat, even just from looking at the metal box inside.

Upon closer inspection, two bright yellow and black circular gear markings come into view.

Mushroom?

He had considered all the possibilities that could be inside those two boxes: high-explosives, incendiary devices, poisonous gases, but he never expected that they would contain two mushrooms.

Moreover, these weren't even new, pollution-free mushrooms; they were deliberately aged, miniature versions of old mushrooms. The glaring markings were enough to give anyone a headache, let alone Zhang Wei.

hiss!

No, where did you get this thing?

Even if you have extensive meteorological authority and the right to apply for unconditional and unlimited fire support, if you dare to apply, will anyone actually dare to approve it?

Zhang Wei thought he was bold enough, but after seeing An Yixi's preparations, he had to admit that he still couldn't keep up with the pace of the young people.

The fact that he was able to bring in the key silhouette is beyond absurd.

Zhang Wei didn't know how An Yixi got the approval. Anyway, he originally planned to find the direction that might be the center of the rat nest and fire a test shot, but now... he definitely had to find the direction, but after setting the time, he also had to slip away quickly.

He didn't think he could move freely inside the mushroom with his current magical abilities.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Zhang Wei used his earth-burrowing technique to dart around the rat nest until he saw a passage where there were no rat monsters around. He then stopped, carefully took out the precious item from his backpack, removed the outer lead box, and placed it in the corner of the tunnel.

After setting a 15-minute time limit, Zhang Wei began his ascent, constantly testing his walkie-talkie as he went.

Then came a beep: "An Yixi, quick, tell everyone around you who's still alive to leave town immediately. Just let them know, don't worry about anything else, you go first!"

Hearing the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, An Yixi turned to look at the crowd around her: "Brother Zhang is about to make a big commotion down there, seniors, let's take our men and get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the people gathered around, fighting the rat swarm, slashed through the half-demon in front of him and retorted, "Retreat? Can't we wait any longer? The town isn't fully searched yet, there might still be people inside. Besides, although the rat swarm is troublesome, they've also injured quite a few other demons and monsters in the town for us..."

95

"I brought mushrooms in!"

"# Retreat! Retreat!"

The middle-aged man, who had been hesitating, immediately changed his expression, grabbed An Yixi, and ran out of town without looking back.

Incidentally, his shouting also attracted the curiosity of his companions.

Normally, Yin Chengxuan is known for his reckless and madman-like fighting style. Why is he so soft this time? Someone who was on good terms with him joked with him, which immediately provoked Yin Chengxuan's retort: ​​"Damn it, I'm brave, brave, not crazy. These two new young guys who came in are planting mushrooms down there. If you're so capable, then stay put. When the silhouettes are cleared out, I'll come back in my protective suit to collect your corpse!"

Uh-huh???

No, something's wrong with you.

A town-level silhouette brings in mushrooms; are you trying to blow yourself and everyone else up?

Even a small yield is no joke!

As the news spread, no one dared to waste any more time. Whether it was weather inspectors or ordinary travelers, everyone mustered the same strength they had when fleeing from their mothers, desperately trying to escape.

Meanwhile, the patrolmen responsible for guarding the rescued townspeople outside the town were urging them to leave.

Of course, it's impossible to please everyone, and there will always be a few oddballs whose thinking is completely out of control.

But firstly, the situation is critical, and secondly, since your silhouette hasn't fallen yet and you haven't obtained the Yanhuang identity certificate, you can't be considered a true citizen, so the Yanhuang rules don't apply to you.

Regardless of the process, after the inspectors reassured them, the people obediently ran away.

Less than a minute after the town's patrols withdrew, a scarlet figure burst through the ground and shot straight into the sky.

At that moment, the mountains shook and the earth trembled, and a violent roar, accompanied by dazzling flames, shot straight into the sky.
