Shen Yanming planned to head towards Haishi, but when he took out his compass, he found that it was malfunctioning.
He frowned and turned on the smart bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet showed no signal.
This is something I've never encountered before. Could there be something underground blocking the signal?
Shen Yanming used his consciousness to say to Bi Qiaoan, "Wife, which way do you think we should go?"
Bi Qiaoan didn't know either. She used the zoom function to look at both sides of the passage, but there was no difference between them, so she wasn't sure.
"How about we flip a coin?"
Shen Yanming nodded, agreeing. Standing in the middle of the passage, he took out a coin, tossed it upwards, and caught it in his palm.
"Face left, back right." He muttered to himself as he opened his palm and found that the side with the words was on top.
Having chosen a direction, Shen Yanming prepared to set off. But the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits at his feet followed him closely, taking one step at a time.
Shen Yanming couldn't bear to abandon these little guys, so he took out an electric scooter from his spatial storage, put the animals in the basket and on the pedals, and slowly rode forward.
He had originally intended to walk, but walking was too slow and tiring. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep going for long. Now, by running slower, he could also take the opportunity to observe his surroundings.
Inside the room, Bi Qiaoan said, "Honey, you focus on riding the bike, leave the rest to me."
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanming stopped observing and focused solely on running forward.
The passage was very long, with no end in sight. He drove for eight hours, his car ran out of power, and he still couldn't see the end.
It's like being lost in a maze.
Shen Yanming was somewhat dejected. He took the car and the animals into the space and collapsed on the ground.
Bi Qiaoan wanted to come over and comfort him, but Shen Yanming waved his hand, took off his equipment and put it in the corner, then summoned a basin of spiritual spring water to take a bath before going over to talk to the mother and her two children.
"Judging from the current situation, there won't be any progress in the short term," Shen Yanming said.
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "It's alright, we have plenty of time. If we really can't find a way out, I'll use my spatial ability to take you back. As for the base, let them guess. At worst, it'll just be another miracle."
Shen Yanming shook his head and chuckled. He ate a hearty meal in the storage area, slept soundly, and then left the space again.
I only brought a rabbit this time, and it was quite eerie to walk through this dark cave with just the rabbit.
The electric scooter was blasting loudly, and Shen Yanming felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
Another eight hours passed, and still nothing was found. If there hadn't been no markings on the ground, he would have thought he was standing still.
After resting for a few hours, he learned that Qi Xili and the others were almost in tears, so he went out to show his face.
Liang Huaxin grabbed Shen Yanming and asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Shen Yanming didn't hide anything: "It's a passage, very dark and very long. I don't know if it's straight or looping. Anyway, I've run through it twice and still haven't found the end. There's air, so it's not completely sealed off, but I don't know if I can find the exit."
"If we can't find it, we won't be able to go back?"
Shen Yanming didn't answer the question, but instead looked at Qi Xili: "How are the brothers?"
"He's still not awake, but scabs are starting to form on his body."
Shen Yanming nodded, picked more than twenty Ice Flame Fruits from the mountain and gave them to Qi Xili, who then turned around and fed them to the wounded.
"Hey, Lao Shen, what kind of fruit is this? Is it tasty?" Liang Huaxin asked, drooling.
Shen Yanming's lips curled up slightly: "That's not fruit, that's medicine. Medicine to treat their internal burns. It just looks like fruit. If you want to eat fruit, go pick it yourself."
Liang Huaxin pursed his lips and said, "I want to eat it, but I can't pick it."
Shen Yanming asked in surprise, "What is it? You can't even pick it?"
"durian."
Shen Yanming glanced at the tree; it seemed a bit tall. He used his mind to pick two large ones and placed them in front of him: "Eat!"
Liang Huaxin sat on the ground, satisfied, and began to eat.
Seeing Qi Lin standing quietly to the side, Shen Yanming asked him, "How are you? Are you getting used to it? Is there anything you want to eat?"
Qi Lin shook his head: "No, thank you, Uncle Shen."
Shen Yanming smiled and nodded.
Qi Lin, as if remembering something, asked, "By the way, Uncle Chen, I discovered that the space stone in my pocket is gone. Do you know what happened?"
“This space absorbs space stones. The moment you entered, those stones automatically became nutrients,” Shen Yanming explained.
"Oh, I see."
"Alright, I need to go out and scout ahead. You can take care of whatever you need yourselves. I won't be coming over for the next couple of days."
Qi Lin nodded.
After finishing his sentence, Shen Yanming returned to the storage area, greeted Bi Qiaoan, and then dashed out, continuing to run forward according to the markings he had made earlier.
Several more hours passed.
Suddenly, Bi Qiaoan felt something flash by. But she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.
After telling Shen Yanming about his discovery, Shen Yanming decided to go back and investigate.
Then the two of them found a tiny dot the size of a fingernail on the cliff face.
"This is... a space stone?"
"It should be. Although we're unsure of its formation mechanism, didn't we previously speculate that space stones erupt from deep underground?"
"Then do you think it's possible that this place is a mine?"
"It's possible, but this mine is a bit special! The Alliance probably doesn't have the capability to mine it."
Shen Yanming looked up, only to find that he couldn't see the top at all. If they were to drill down from the top, how many years would it take?
Moreover, the latitude and longitude cannot be determined. The passage is only so wide. If you go to the wrong place, wouldn't you be doing a useless job?
Because the space stone was too high for Shen Yanming to reach, he only looked at it for a short while. After confirming that there was nothing else around, he got on his electric scooter and continued on his way.
This time they moved even slower, and two hours later, Shen Yanming found another space stone.
This time, the space stone was embedded in the ground. He stopped the car, placed his hand on the space stone, and with a thought, the space stone disappeared.
"It seems there really might be a mineral vein," Shen Yanming said with a smile before entering the spatial dimension.
He ate something, then changed vehicles and continued on his way. He was so excited he didn't want to rest.
Bi Qiaoan didn't stop her; she just did her logistical work and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Shen Yanming ran forward for another two hours and found that there were even more space stones here, and they were all large pieces.
He collected over twenty pieces into the space, and they were all absorbed.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan discovered that the space had doubled in size; well, it was now as big as a small city.
Other features remain to be discovered.
The couple was overjoyed, but problems arose after the excitement subsided.
First, they couldn't find a way out, so Shen Yanming and his group couldn't return to Haishi openly.
Secondly, these stones can only be absorbed by space; they cannot be transferred outside through space.
