Chapter 148: Dragon Rune Tunnel, Mine, and Connection

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The tunnel was very long. There were golden broken rocks on the ground, and the surrounding rock walls were a mixture of red and black rocks. All of them had horizontal rock formation patterns, which were clearly washed out by water.

The Netherworld River flowed quietly by the side. The blue light was hazy, illuminating the horizontal rock formations. It seemed to be flowing, making the entire tunnel look alive.

There were no forks along the way, and it went straight ahead.

However, there were actually obvious traces of excavation on many rock walls. It seemed that the unknown ores just now had been excavated near this rock wall.

After walking for a while, Lin Yan suddenly saw that the rock wall on the left in front of him was filled with holes. Underneath it was actually a pile of grayish-white bone fragments.

When he got closer, Lin Yan frowned slightly. This shattered bone was not human, but some kind of fossil. It looked rather ancient, like the arc skeleton of a fish that had been scattered.

“This fossil was dug out from this rock wall? It’s normal for there to be fish bones in the rock wall.”

Lin Yan still didn’t see any traces left behind by anyone. After walking out for about half an hour, his eyes narrowed slightly.

“That’s…”

At the end of the tunnel ahead, a hazy and thin green poisonous fog appeared!

“Why would there be poisonous fog here?!”

The poisonous fog spewed out from the abyss in the crack, and it was unknown how deep this underground world was. Could it be…

This place was connected to the abyss?

The underground world was dizzying. Lin Yan had gone too deep and had long forgotten the direction. He couldn’t tell if it was in the same direction as the crack in the ground.

“There’s no one along the way. Did those people enter the poisonous fog?”

However, since they could not open the huge rock, it meant that their strength would not exceed the Tough Realm. How did they survive in the poisonous fog?

Lin Yan extinguished the torch and carefully walked into the poisonous fog.

He felt the endless replenishment of blood energy again and felt a sense of security. This poisonous fog might be connected to the abyss in the crack, so there might be a large number of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches. He had to be careful.

As he continued to walk into the poisonous fog, the Netherworld River was still by the side. The dark blue halo’s penetrative power was extremely strong, and it dyed the poisonous fog with a layer of light.

It was also enveloped by poisonous fog above, but it was clearly different from the blue river below. It was like two green and blue rivers that overlapped.

This tunnel was terrifyingly long. Lin Yan couldn’t help but speed up, but he couldn’t reach the end.

Along the way, he saw some extremely small cracks on the rock wall and the ground. The poisonous fog seemed to have spread from these cracks.

However, the cracks were all extremely narrow. The largest was only half the length of an arm and he couldn’t pass through. Lin Yan touched it. Perhaps it was because the rock layers here were rather firm that the earthquake couldn’t shake them off.

However, there were no corpses. This meant that those people had not entered the poisonous fog. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Or had they jumped into the Netherworld River?

A faint sinister feeling enveloped Lin Yan’s heart.

The only thing he could sense was that his height was constantly rising and his direction was constantly winding. He did not know what kind of god-like workmanship it was to create such a long tunnel underground.

After running for more than half an hour, Lin Yan’s surroundings suddenly became empty. He barged into a dark cave and the poisonous fog was gone!

He subconsciously stopped in his tracks. In front of him was a medium-sized cave. The poisonous fog slowly faded until it disappeared.

The Netherworld River actually turned a corner here and flowed under a huge rock wall. Unless one dived into the water, they would not be able to follow it.

However, the tunnel parted ways with it and extended to the other side.

Lin Yan lit the torch again and continued forward along the tunnel.

The strange thing was that although the Netherworld River had clearly changed its route and was not on the side, the cave was still filled with a thin layer of blue light. It was as if the dark light had an extremely strong penetrative power and could pierce the rock layers and spread into the rock wall.

Lin Yan shivered. “Could it be radiation? But to be able to penetrate such a thick rock layer, I shouldn’t have felt nothing…”

It could only be attributed to the mystery of the world.

After walking for a while, Lin Yan paused again. “Why is it the poisonous fog again?”

Another section of poisonous fog enveloped him.

Lin Yan carefully walked in. After walking less than a hundred meters, there was another empty space. Then, it was the poisonous fog and the empty space again.

Like a dotted line, the entire one-way winding tunnel was cut into small pieces by the poisonous fog.

After walking for about ten sections of the poisonous fog, Lin Yan suddenly paused and reached out to extinguish the torch.

Faint tinkling sounds could be heard!

It was like a pick-axe hitting a rock wall. Bits and pieces passed through the rock wall. It was extremely light, indicating that it was very far away.

There was someone!

Lin Yan held his breath. Could it be that those people blocked under the crack of the huge rock had all come here?!

However, if they could cross such a long poisonous fog, they would at least have the strength of the Noble Realm. They should have broken out of the huge rock long ago!

Or had they mastered the antidote?

Lin Yan slowed down his breathing and slowly approached the source of the sound in the poisonous fog.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound became clearer. It was obvious that someone was mining, but the force of the knocking was extremely strong. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

Suddenly, the knocking stopped. Lin Yan vaguely heard a hoarse voice. “Let’s go!”

Then, there was a series of hurried footsteps. His actions actually brought about airwaves. The poisonous fog that blew over even affected Lin Yan.

This speed and strength were not something ordinary people could have. Were they really the group of people trapped by the Netherworld River?

Lin Yan slowly walked forward and approached the place where the sound came from. Soon, he saw a newly-excavated rock wall and obvious traces of someone moving.

“Is there really someone mining in the poisonous fog?”

This discovery shocked him.

He listened carefully. On the other side of the poisonous fog, there was heavy breathing. It seemed that there were a few people talking weakly, but they were a little far away and he could not hear them clearly.

Lin Yan continued forward. Soon, the sound became clearer and clearer. In front of him was clearly another empty area without poisonous fog.

He stopped in his tracks.

At this distance, dozens of feet ahead, the poisonous fog began to fade. Lin Yan secretly suppressed his breathing and hid his body in the thick poisonous fog, listening attentively.

“…Dying…”

“He escaped… He was seriously injured… Hiding…”

“… If you want to die… don’t bring…”

“…Let’s wait… Wait for him to die…”

The distance was too far, and these people’s voices were extremely weak. It was not easy for Lin Yan to hear a few words clearly. This group of people seemed to be forced to come here.

There were also serious injuries and hiding…

A thought flashed across Lin Yan’s mind. He thought of what Wu Qinglei had said. Could it be…

His eyes shone brightly. Could it be that another Great Merit had come knocking on his door?

At this moment, those people seemed to have stood up and returned to the poisonous fog.

Lin Yan retracted his aura and slowly retreated. He maintained a safe distance and only used his ears to listen.

The group of people quickly arrived at the mining site just now and clinked again.

“Although I’m not sure, what if it’s true? I have to accept the merits that are delivered to my door…”

His strength had increased, and his mentality was different.

Lin Yan made up his mind and clenched his fists. Following a certain pattern, he gently knocked on the rock wall.

His original intention was to attract the attention of the miners and lure them over.

However, that group of people was only focused on mining and did not notice at all.

Helpless, Lin Yan reached into the rock wall, pulled out a rock, and threw it at the nearest miner.

F*ck!

Someone cursed angrily.

Someone asked in the poisonous fog, “Yang Zheng, what’s wrong with you!”

“Which one of you threw a rock at me!”

“What’s wrong with you?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the clangs and voices suddenly fell silent.

Lin Yan slowly retreated. They finally reacted!

He threw another stone in his hand.

Clang!

The rock hit the rock wall with a crisp sound.

Lin Yan also retreated to an empty space outside the poisonous fog.

With light footsteps, a group of three people in ragged clothes and withered appearances walked out of the poisonous fog.

The three human figures were emaciated. They were skin and bones, and their hair was disheveled. Someone was half bald and looked like an evil ghost.

However, his body emitted a strong aura, and his eyes lit up like ghost flames in a skull.

Lin Yan frowned slightly. He did not expect that the aura of this group of people… was actually at the Noble Realm!

Among the three of them, the one on the left had a rolling throat and a heaving chest. He coughed out a mouthful of thick phlegm and spat it on the ground. The thick phlegm was green and emitted waves of poisonous gas.

He looked at the other two people around him and they could see the ecstasy in each other’s eyes. “This brat! He has the antidote!”

“You guys…” Lin Yan had just spoken.

“Do it!

The three people in front of him turned into evil spirits and pounced on him. They raised their hands and swung their forces across the air!

Three Noble Realm forces enveloped Lin Yan.

Lin Yan frowned slightly. The Little Azure Dragon state that he had long prepared was suddenly activated. His figure was like a bolt of lightning as he retreated to avoid the force.

“Stop.”

However, the three of them turned a deaf ear to him. They were like hyenas that had seen fat meat. They split into three directions and attacked him again.

A cold glint flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes as he clenched his fists. He had now grasped the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder and Critical Strike. He was confident to fight even a terrifying Noble Realm expert like Wu Qinglei, let alone these three half-dead people in front of him.

His entire body trembled slightly, and his force and blood energy surged, turning into a dragon-shaped force pattern that spun up and down his body.

“I said…”

He took a light step and his figure suddenly disappeared, appearing in front of the Noble Realm cultivator who had spat at the beginning.

The Noble Realm cultivator’s expression changed drastically. Impossible! So fast!

He closed his hands and wanted to defend, but Lin Yan’s fist instantly disappeared. With an explosive force, it passed through the gap between his hands and suddenly struck his chest.

“…Stop!”

BOOM!

A terrifying force suddenly erupted and directly pierced through the weak defense of the Noble Realm.

“Hmm? He is so weak?!”

Lin Yan hurriedly restrained his strength, but the remaining force still exploded in his chest.

The Noble Realm cultivator’s face immediately flushed red before turning as pale as paper. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and his body immediately flew back towards the poisonous fog.

However, Lin Yan took another step and suddenly charged into the poisonous fog. His figure actually arrived first. He pulled the Noble Realm cultivator’s leg and forcefully pulled him to a stop in midair.

With this pull, all the bones in the Noble Realm’s body were pulled, and he almost fainted.

Lin Yan dragged the Noble Realm cultivator’s leg and walked out of the poisonous fog step by step, quietly looking at the remaining two people.

There seemed to be wind and lightning surging in his eyes. An invisible green dragon flickered around him for an instant, and a savage and terrifying aura suddenly rose.

The three Noble Realm cultivators, who were already shocked, instantly sweated profusely and their scalps went numb.

They could not move! They definitely could not move!

They would really die!
