Chapter 53: A Ray of Hope in Desperation (Part 2)
"Little Green, slowly pass through here and let me see how deep the rat hole is."
A green lantern flew out from her spiritual consciousness, illuminating a large area with a faint green light.
Little Green was a ghost lantern that could pass through walls. Following Jiang Yuebai's instructions, it slowly passed through the rat hole.
"A bit deep, but there should be a large space behind. It could be another mine tunnel. No, with the wind, it should lead outside, but this is underground."
Jiang Yuebai pondered carefully and murmured to herself, "The position of the Yinshan Mine is originally high, and the ancient Thunder Abyss is a deep abyss..."
Jiang Yuebai decided to dig it open.
She didn't rush to start but patiently stayed in the mine tunnel for a few days, meditating and studying the "Mad Thunder Body Refining Technique."
This body-refining technique combined mental cultivation with martial arts. After each cycle of energy circulation, the Thunder Elemental Force accumulated in the body to its limit, requiring the practice of this martial art to dissipate the Thunder Elemental Force into the muscles and skin and then continue the cultivation.
Jiang Yuebai tried it a few times, and its effect was weak. It was not as good as the refining effect brought by the "Five Elements True Qi Cultivation Technique." However, the "Five Elements True Qi Cultivation Technique" couldn't consume Thunder Elemental Force, so she had to learn this body-refining technique.
Peng Sanyang would come to check on her every day. After roughly half a month, his visits became less frequent, and Jiang Yuebai's supply of Qi-refining pills was running out.
On the twenty-third day, Peng Sanyang appeared again. Jiang Yuebai tearfully begged him to take her out.
Impatient, Peng Sanyang threw a rough sheepskin map at Jiang Yuebai and told her to leave on her own.
Jiang Yuebai groped her way, intentionally leaving traces of her departure.
In a secluded place, she took out a concealment charm prepared in advance, sneaked back into the mine tunnel, set up a protective formation, and took out Tao Fengnian's Spirit-Shaking Hoe.
The mining pick provided in the minefield was just an ordinary refined iron pickaxe. It took several strikes with the stimulation of spiritual energy to break open a stone, which was time-consuming and laborious.
Tao Fengnian's Spirit-Shaking Hoe was a Ninth-Grade magical tool he personally refined. With one swing, it shook large rocks into evenly sized pieces.
Little Green floated nearby, illuminating the area. Jiang Yuebai, with rolled-up sleeves, swung the hoe tirelessly. When her spiritual energy was depleted, she meditated by the corpses using spirit stones to recover.
Day after day without stopping, after digging for several days, Jiang Yuebai swung the hoe, causing the mountain to collapse and a strong wind to rush in.
The long-lost fragrance of trees and soil, along with the thunderous roar, filled the air.
Jiang Yuebai bent down and crawled through the broken hole. Lightning illuminated the surroundings, revealing a valley in the mountains.
The sky and earth were dim without light, and the chilling wind howled.
Little Green floated ahead, and as far as the eyes could see, wild grass grew thickly among rugged rocks.
The bamboo forest was dense and disorderly, swaying in the gusts of cold wind, with dry bamboo leaves falling like rain, forming a thick layer.
The sound of falling wood echoed, desolate and cold.
Jiang Yuebai parted the overgrown grass, walked on the dry leaves, and under the faint green light, it felt as if she had entered a fairyland in the underworld.
Jiang Yuebai looked up and saw the deep night sky and the large array barrier, indicating that this place was still within the Yinshan Mine's array. However, she didn't know how this peculiar terrain was formed.
She quickly surveyed everything. The valley was not large, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a cliff on one side, located somewhere on the outer edge of the Yinshan Mountains.
Apart from some wild fruits and small animals, there was nothing of value. There were traces of fire at the entrance, probably someone had checked and found it to be a dead end, then blasted and sealed the entrance.
Perhaps Ye Lianyi and the others also knew about this place, so they weren't afraid of her causing trouble inside.
Jiang Yuebai walked to the edge of the cliff, and the array's brilliance shone in mid-air. Below was the abyss Thunder Abyss.
A vast expanse of black clouds stretched endlessly and was level with the line of sight. Countless silver dragons galloped and roared, their momentum weighing a thousand catties, grand and unstoppable.
The clouds surged with majestic momentum.
Jiang Yuebai's mind shook, never having seen such a majestic scene in the world. There seemed to be something churning in her heart.
If one day, with a wave of her hand, she could mobilize the power of a thousand catties of thunder, why fear the current world with its flowing streams and lofty mountains?
This was a forbidden place, and one couldn't fly in the array. To leave, she could only return through the mine tunnel.
She surveyed everything and, as she looked, she smiled, as if finding hope in despair.
Jiang Yuebai crouched down, scraped away the rotten leaves, and grabbed a handful of mud.
As the granddaughter of a Spirit Farmer and the descendant of three generations of carpenters, this mud, full of decayed leaves and a bamboo forest in the valley, was her vitality.
"Little Green, from today onwards, we'll settle down here, hide our brilliance, accumulate strength, and wait for the right moment!"
A green lantern flew out from her spiritual consciousness, illuminating a large area with a faint green light.
