I, a cultivator, have ended up in the world of tomb raiding.
Chapter 62 Perilous Adventures in the Cave
Amidst the deafening, thunderous tremors of Ping Mountain, Li Yue, who had escaped from the deep crevice, was inevitably struck by several loose rocks.
Although the shield blocked most of the impact, the force of the impact was immense as he fell, and he couldn't dodge quickly while in mid-air, causing him to cough up blood.
With nothing to hold onto while in mid-air, Li Yue was unable to maneuver or dodge again and could only rely on the Yin energy within his body to forcibly stabilize himself.
At the same time, his legs bent slightly in the air and pushed off, his waist twisted in the process, and his hands reached forward at the same time, his fingertips digging hard into the cracks in the trembling mountain wall in front of him.
The pebbles slid down the rock face, and he leaned forward, clinging to the cliff face for a secure position.
This temporarily stabilized the downward momentum.
At the seventh level of Qi Refining, one is far from having a body of steel and the ability to fly.
Even though his body refinement had reached the second level of the Flesh Refinement Realm, and his physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, he still appeared somewhat small and fragile in the face of the enormous force of the collapsing mountain.
After securing himself, Li Yue glanced at his shoulder and sensed its position.
Fortunately, the bones weren't broken, but the skin and flesh might be a little bruised.
This should not affect the operation.
Just then, a series of sharp, tearing sounds suddenly came from deep within the rock strata above the mountain.
The sound was continuous and extremely loud, as if thousands of giant trees were being snapped in half at once.
The steep medicinal wall on the side of Ping Mountain tilted more and more violently.
The massive mountain crevice, which was originally surrounded by turbulent clouds and mist, now has cracks that spread rapidly like a grotesque spider web, growing larger and larger.
It resembled a gigantic maw about to devour everything.
More rocks cascaded down from the crack, crashing down like a flash flood, their roar echoing through the valley.
Interspersed among them were the extremely pitiful screams of the Unloading Ridge bandits, their voices filled with extreme terror and panic, revealing their utter despair.
The raging mountain wind, carrying stones, kept pounding against Li Yue's back. He looked up.
Loose rocks were seen falling off the mountainside in large pieces, sending stones of all sizes flying everywhere and dust billowing in the air.
Outside the massive crack and the cliff face, dozens of bandits from the Unloading Ridge Mountain were clinging to a centipede-shaped ladder, hanging precariously on the rock face.
At this moment, everyone shrank back, their faces pale, desperately trying to avoid the falling rocks from above.
These people escaped from Dan Palace at an extremely fast speed.
But the collapse of Ping Mountain was so rapid that even if one could avoid a single piece of rock, one could not avoid the continuous rain of stones.
One after another, members of the thief gang were struck hard by the falling rocks, screaming as they plummeted from the sky and crashed into the pile of boulders at the bottom of the mountain.
It fell silent in an instant, and was quickly buried by falling rocks.
In the short time he had been gazing at them, three or four bandits had already slipped and fallen from the Centipede-shaped mountain ladder, their terrified screams disappearing in the collapsing valley.
He was then completely engulfed by the deafening roar and fell to his death.
By this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and the morning light pierced through the thick clouds.
Soft golden light shone on the collapsing and crumbling Bottle Mountain, creating a hazy, mesmerizing effect.
But under this gentle halo,
This once majestic and precipitous mountain, a masterpiece of nature, has been subjected to an even more violent and terrifying tremor, as if the heavens and earth themselves are shaking.
In that instant, the sun and moon seemed to be overturned, and the Milky Way seemed to fall.
Li Yue felt his vision blurring, and the surrounding rocks and trees became distorted and indistinct.
Just as he regained his balance, a violent tremor, as devastating as the sky and earth collapsing and mountains crumbling, erupted from the depths of the cracks in Ping Mountain.
The two steep walls, which opened like a grotesque mouth, drifted further and further apart until they finally snapped apart with a loud crash.
The massive rock at the mouth of the bottle, weighing tens of millions of kilograms, tumbled and crashed toward the ground with earth-shattering force.
Li Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, and he dared not linger any longer. He hurriedly kicked off the cliff, trying to hide on the other side of the mountain in the sunny area.
This was a very risky move; rocks were still falling from above, and several rocks could hit him at any moment.
But staying would also be extremely dangerous.
Landslides are usually caused by the collapse of one side of the mountain.
The direction in which Pingshan collapsed was precisely the shady side of the mountain where the Unloading Ridge group had previously dug a tunnel using digging tools.
The giant rock at the mouth of the bottle naturally collapsed towards the shady side of the mountain.
If we can climb to the other side of the mountain, avoiding the main direction of the collapse,
Once the collapse slows down, he will be able to quickly leave this dangerous area around Ping Mountain.
Li Yue's feet were planted directly on the almost vertical rock face, his center of gravity pressed against the rocks, like a ibex on a cliff, moving swiftly and rapidly along the rock face in an extremely difficult posture.
He stepped precisely on the stone ridges with each step, sometimes turning to the side to avoid rolling stones, nimbly moving through the flying rocks.
In a short while, they rapidly approached the sunny side of the mountain from the shady side.
In situations like this, you can't just keep going downhill; running downhill is like deliberately rushing into a rockfall zone.
The debris, soil, and boulders generated by the landslide all crashed down the mountainside, with the entire landslide area ending at the foot of the mountain.
The deeper you go, the denser the rocks become. At the bottom, it's like a rain of flying stones, which is basically tantamount to suicide.
The main way to avoid the collapse is to move to the other side of the mountain.
That was the plan, but the turbulent waters caused by the landslide obstructed the view, leaving only a scene of flying sand and rocks, which was extremely dangerous.
The powerful turbulent currents generated by the landslide roared in.
Li Yue knew he couldn't withstand the impact of the boulder either.
It would be dangerous if we were hit by one or two falling rocks when visibility is poor.
They immediately sought shelter in the nearest cliff face or on a sturdy rock pillar, choosing to remain in place to avoid danger.
By this time, he had already avoided the most severely fractured section of the mountain.
He reached out and touched a depression, which was more than four feet high, and seemed to be a cave.
The situation was extremely urgent, and the roar behind them was getting closer and closer.
Rocks kept hitting him, but were blocked by the shield.
Li Yue had no time to spare; he bent down and quickly crawled into the depression to hide.
However, as soon as he entered the cave, he was taken aback by what he saw in the dim light. There were actually two other people in this small space.
A man dressed in black robes and boots, tall and fat, with a dark complexion, who didn't actually look like a living person.
The other Li Yue recognized was none other than Hong Guniang.
The two were facing each other in this narrow space, with the girl in red kicking the man opposite her with her legs.
The man in black robes had a fierce look on his face, his swollen skin was as white as if it had been soaked in water, and he stretched out his equally fat hand to grab the girl in red.
However, the girl in red kicked at him with her legs, rendering him temporarily unable to move.
Both of them were stunned when they saw someone suddenly crawl into the cave.
When the girl in red saw that it was Li Yue, her face immediately lit up with joy, and she cried out, "Li Yue, come and help me!"
But immediately, as she saw Li Yue approaching, her expression changed again. Remembering the danger posed by this strange creature, she hurriedly shouted a warning:
"Wait, this zongzi is full of poison! You'd better step back a bit!"
Li Yue glanced at them, but showed no intention of backing down.
The recessed space was already small, and most of it was already occupied by the girl in red and the male corpse.
With half of his body still exposed outside the cave entrance, he had nowhere to retreat or escape.
However, this tall figure exuding deathly aura was actually a strange, resurrected zombie?
No wonder he was surrounded by a chilling aura and the air was thick with death.
