Two days passed in a flash. After tricking the other party four more times, Lin Feng and the Taoist priest arrived at a canyon.
Nightmare Points +20 * 3
Nightmare Points: 169
"Survival countdown: 23 hours and 19 minutes."
"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted, exhausted!!"
The Taoist priest plopped down, unable to hold on any longer. He had expended the most energy on the journey, especially in setting up traps, which required him to concentrate fully on drawing each one, gradually accumulating mental pressure that was becoming unbearable.
As the other party becomes familiar with their rhythm, the benefits are completely disproportionate to the effort.
Lin Feng was also physically and mentally exhausted. He wanted to control the pursuers behind him, and he wanted to do more than just get ahead of them. He also wanted to work with the Taoist to devise a more complex plan.
They cannot demand perfection, but they strive for completeness, and they never let go of any opportunity that they might miss.
The same method cannot be used twice. Now, once the pursuers discover that the Red Spirit has stopped in a suspicious area, they will first launch a barrage of fire, bombing the entire area before sending people in.
Lin Feng was even more 'admiring' of the opposing participant's patience; it was worth it for him to have Hong Linggui lure him all the way here.
As he walked toward the canyon that appeared ahead, Lin Feng looked around and then sat down on the spot.
We finally arrived at this desolate canyon, a place no one ever visits.
The canyon walls are riddled with cracks of varying sizes, and loose rocks and dust constantly fall from above. An ambush here might have a miraculous effect, but such an effect is negligible. Faced with the relentless pursuit of their pursuers, a miraculous effect is no different from a stumbling block.
How many grenades do you have left?
A gust of sand blew by, and the Taoist priest raised his hand to shield his eyes, answering loudly: "Eight high-explosive shells, two incendiary shells, and one stun grenade."
From formations to weapons, they used everything they could think of.
“I still have... 5 more.” Lin Feng grabbed a handful of almost weathered pebbles and looked down into the valley, which was about ten meters deep.
The Taoist priest took out a bottle, swallowed most of the water in one gulp, and after catching his breath, got up from the ground, wiped the sand from his eyes, and quickly came to Lin Feng: "I can't stand it anymore, how about we go back and beat him up, and then run away?"
Lin Feng nodded perfunctorily, and amidst the Taoist's surprised pause, said, "Let's go down and take a look first."
Ah, go down?
The Taoist priest glanced down into the canyon and could see some broken wooden stakes scattered on the cliff face. Based on the degree of decay on the stakes, he could deduce that they were at least fifty years old.
Before he could ask, Lin Feng leaped down, grabbed a protrusion on the rock wall, and quickly descended to the bottom of the valley.
Looking up from the valley floor, huge cracks are hidden in the strangely shaped cliffs, and you can vaguely see many unbroken wooden stakes left on the cliffs inside the cracks.
Just as the Taoist priests jumped down, a huge rock above them suddenly shattered, making a series of fierce cracking sounds, and crashed down on them.
Lin Feng hurriedly dodged, narrowly avoiding being hit by falling rocks amidst a cloud of dust.
"That was close!" As the dust settled, the Taoist priest brushed it off and emerged from the side of the boulder. Seeing the boulder just a hand's breadth away from Lin Feng, he immediately wiped the smile from his face: "I almost...died..."
Lin Feng looked indifferently at the top of the Taoist's head, where the Taoist had just come down, the same spot where the boulder hadn't fallen. Most importantly, the boulder was now in the same spot where Lin Feng had just been standing.
"Hahaha... Don't panic, don't panic. If I had known that stone would fall, I definitely wouldn't have stepped on it~" The Taoist hurriedly laughed and patted Lin Feng's shoulder.
Lin Feng dodged the dust-covered hand: "Taoist, you go that way, I'll go this way..."
"Hey, wait a minute, whatever, that was really an accident. I, Daoist, would never pull such a trick!" Seeing Lin Feng about to leave, the Daoist immediately chased after him.
Lin Feng waved his hand, brushing away the dust kicked up by the Taoist's footsteps: "This place used to be a mine. Let's split up and look for the mine entrance."
"Heh, you should have said so earlier. I thought you were leaving." The Taoist priest was relieved to hear this, but after turning around, he still turned his head to look at Lin Feng's back several times.
The mine was Lin Feng's purpose for this trip. He had already consulted the surrounding maps while inside the Ye Corporation and selected this location.
After walking for about half an hour in the canyon, Lin Feng saw the entrance to a mine. Just as he was about to walk over, he saw the Taoist priest kick up a cloud of dust in mid-air and fly across the cliff like lightning, landing in front of him.
"Whatever! Hahahaha, I've found it!" The Taoist landed, holding up the tortoise shell with a fawning smile, and leaned close to Lin Feng: "You said you were in such a hurry, next time you should have me do a divination, and this thing would have delivered itself to your door~"
Seeing Lin Feng raise an eyebrow, the Taoist priest hurriedly said, "It's just over there, about a hundred meters away. I've already gone in to explore. The first level alone is over ten meters deep. Would you like to go take a look?"
"Walk."
Lin Feng nodded immediately upon hearing this. The Taoist chuckled, stirred up a gust of wind, and in doing so, cast a spell on Lin Feng as well.
"Heavenly Stems Divine Evolution Technique (Yi Mao Lun Heng Mantra / F=ma): You have been blessed by the Heavenly Stems Divine Evolution Technique, Agility +4, and gained additional action points. Theology is science!"
Upon glancing at the familiar state, Lin Feng immediately felt a light boost to his body, as if he were about to take flight.
The Taoist priest came up behind Lin Feng, grabbed Lin Feng's shoulder, and lifted him into the air. Stepping on the wind and waves, he gracefully touched a protruding cliff with his toes, and then twisted his body lightly in mid-air, drawing an elegant parabola towards the distance of the canyon.
A few dozen seconds later, the Taoist priest led Lin Feng to a large, broken rock.
The stone was split in the middle, and traces of being melted by high temperatures were clearly visible. Behind the stone was the entrance to the mine pit, which was half buried in the soil. Several bent steel pillars were doing their best to support the opening, preventing it from being blocked by a larger stone above.
If you were to search normally, it would be very difficult to find without putting in a lot of effort.
Lin Feng showed an expression of admiration, but the Taoist priest didn't care. He raised his arm and gestured for Lin Feng to enter, displaying an air of otherworldly elegance.
Seeing this, Lin Feng decisively bent down and climbed inside.
After entering, Lin Feng took out a lighting device from his spatial ring. As soon as Lin Feng stepped aside, the Taoist priest followed closely behind: "Walk about ten meters in, then choose the passage on the right."
"Hmm," Lin Feng nodded and strode over.
The temperature inside the mine was slightly low, and the air smelled damp. Every three or four meters, you could see steel load-bearing columns supporting the top of the mine, but occasionally you could also see some wooden frames mixed in.
As you venture deeper into the forest, you can see some mining carts stuck in the ground and some scattered construction helmets.
Following the Taoist's instructions, Lin Feng arrived at the end of the floor and saw an old elevator. After shining a light down on it, he used the Taoist's guidance to grab the rope on the elevator and jump down.
Boom!
The elevator frame vibrated.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and continued jumping towards the beam below.
Click!
A sound of steel breaking due to decay rang out, and Lin Feng stepped on the wall, forcefully pushing himself towards another beam.
"Hey, don't rush, don't rush. If you accidentally die, I'll miss you." The tremors in the mine suddenly subsided, and the Taoist priest, with his hands behind his back, leisurely stepped on a small wave of wind and fell down from the other side of the elevator wall.
In the dim light, Lin Feng seemed to see the Taoist priest surrounded by a constantly flashing aura of formulas.
"Heavenly Stems Divine Evolution Technique (Bingchen Qi Incantation / F = G(m1 * m2 / r2)): You have been blessed by the Heavenly Stems Divine Evolution Technique, making you as light as a feather and temporarily immune to gravity. Theology is science!"
The moment the buff appeared, Lin Feng's descent slowed considerably.
