Chapter 26 Encountering

a mud and sand flow Ji Fan's two feet quickly moved forward, swinging his knife and slashing wildly. The spider in front of him was instantly cut in half and fell to the ground.

Ji Fan was delighted. These things didn't seem so difficult to deal with.

He didn't stop and turned to kill another spider that jumped up. Although he couldn't kill the monster accurately every time, and occasionally needed to make up for it twice, these few attacks undoubtedly boosted Ji Fan's confidence.

Two hours later.

The speed at which spiders rushed out of the mud and sand slowed down a lot, and the number of monsters on the ground was visibly reduced.

Jiang Ning lowered his head and was dazed for a while. The upper of his shoes sank slightly into the soft red sand. The blade of the lightsaber in his left hand kept dripping with blue liquid.

The blood of spiders contains a copper-based pigment, hemocyanin, which will appear as a unique blue blood when combined with oxygen.

The blue blood dripped into the sand and was soon covered by the surrounding sunken sand, as if it had never existed.

When Jiang Ning came to his senses, he suddenly felt his feet sink. A crack suddenly appeared in the sand within a one-meter range around him, and the sand was slowly flowing downwards.

Not good!

Jiang Ning's heart was alarmed.

Too many alien beasts crawled out from the ground in a short period of time, causing the sand to loosen and the ground to sink.

She wanted to run, but it was too late.

The ground was sinking faster and faster.

Jiang Ning urged the mental power in her body, imagining flying into the air like Li Xiang, and tried it several times in her mind,

but to no avail. It still didn't work.

Jiang Ning felt lost.

Not far away, Ke Lai put the energy beam cannon on her shoulder, squinted one eye, aimed forward, and wanted to end the battlefield with the last shot, but she found that the ground in front of her was actually collapsing. She used the high-powered scope on the energy beam cannon to take a closer look. In the center of the collapse, there was a person with half of his waist sunk into the ground.

"Jiang Ning!" Ke Lai immediately put away the energy beam cannon and headed over there.

Everyone's eyes turned over there.

Jiang Ning remained calm, not daring to move her limbs, for fear of sinking even more severely.

"Don't go over there." Black Pearl held back Ke Lai who wanted to go over there, "You can't help if you go over there, and you will get stuck yourself."

"Then what should I do, should I just watch her get buried in the sand?" Ke Lai said excitedly.

Black Pearl didn't say anything, Ke Lai scanned the faces of the other people one by one, and the silent expressions of the people had already told her the answer.

"It's hopeless, it's just her own bad luck." Scarface sighed and shook his head.

It's definitely not that he and Jiang Ning have any deep hatred, people from the same slum, there will be a little sympathy.

But they are like this in the slums, they have entrusted their fate to luck, who is not risking their lives to make money.

"By the way, we can also call for help." Ke Lai thought of the newly added guards in the no-man's land.

"Li Xiang." She called out to the absent-minded Li Xiang.

"Oh, I'll call right away!" Li Xiang was very familiar with this. He turned on the star brain and entered the number of the rescue hotline.

"Beep--"

The phone rang twice and was connected.

Several people were happy.

Who knew that the next second, the scope of the collapse expanded again, and everyone felt their feet sink and their bodies fell down.

"Ah--"

The hot sand and gravel poured into the clothes, and the skin felt burned instantly. This was not the worst. The sand from all directions kept wrapping around the few people from all places.

In the ears, in the mouth...

all of them were filled with a lot of sand.

......

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ning gradually regained some consciousness.

She felt that her eyes were constantly covered by a strong light, and Jiang Ning's brows slowly wrinkled. She moved her body slightly, and felt something constantly falling into her clothes.

Her eyelashes trembled, her eyelids wrinkled into a ball, and her eyes narrowed a little.

The dazzling light shone from a round hole above her head, and the surroundings were pitch black.

Jiang Ning raised her hand to block the strong light, but ended up feeling a handful of sand, and her consciousness suddenly became completely clear.

The ground collapsed, shouldn't everyone be buried in the sand under the ground?

This is...

Jiang Ning sat up, brushed off the sand and gravel that had seeped into her clothes, and looked up at her surroundings.

The cave entrance was at least a hundred meters away from them. The landslide at the cave entrance was relatively large, and even now, fine sand and gravel were still falling. In contrast, the mud and sand structure inside the cave wall was much more compact.

The height inside the cave was not too oppressive. Jiang Ning still had about two heads' worth of space when standing on the ground. There were two dark tunnels in the cave that led to nowhere.

This cave did not seem to be formed naturally, but rather was drilled out by those reptiles and monsters.

With the mud and sand as a buffer, her body did not suffer too much damage.

But what about the others who fell with her?

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"Hello?"

In the silent underground cave, several faint male voices coming from the electric current rang out.

Jiang Ning carefully identified his location, walked to a pile of sand, squatted down, and climbed up the sand with his bare hands.

After a long while, he saw a human hand in the sand.

The voice came from the Star Brain on this hand.

Jiang Ning brushed away the sand on the Star Brain screen. The interface kept showing a call, and the call number was a series of rescue hotlines.

Jiang Ning lowered his body and tried to get as close to the Star Brain on the call as possible: "Hello, there was a mudslide in the Worm Star area in the uninhabited area of ​​the western suburbs. The five of us are trapped underground. Please ask the guards for rescue."

The voice in the Star Brain was in segments, and it would get stuck from time to time. Jiang Ning repeated it twice.

The screen kept showing weak signal prompts. Jiang Ning held up the hand holding the Star Brain and kept looking for signals around. The next second, the voice in the Star Brain also disappeared. Jiang Ning took it back and took a look.

Oh! It was disconnected.

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment and continued to dig the soil.

After digging for an unknown amount of time, a face finally appeared in the sand.

Jiang Ning pushed the sand away from his nose. The next second, the owner of the face snorted twice and opened his eyes.

Jiang Ning looked into the eyes of Li Xiang, who had opened his eyes.

"Fuck! Jiang Ning, you're a pervert!" Li Xiang's eyes widened and he wanted to step back, but his body couldn't move.

He looked at his half-buried body, and spoke faster than his brain: "You buried me?"

Jiang Ning: "..."

"No." He suddenly realized, "We are not dead?"

"If you are okay, dig it yourself, I still need to find others." Jiang Ning stood up.

Compared with others, she and Li Xiang are lucky, but if they delay any longer, they don't know if others will suffocate because they are buried in the sand for too long.

She has to find the rest of the people quickly.

But there is so much mud and sand underground, and the rest of the people are not like Li Xiang who has a star brain that can be used to locate them. Where should she start looking?

On the other side, Li Xiang, who had regained consciousness, pulled his left foot out of the sand with difficulty, and sighed to himself: "If only Brother Yan Zhou were here, he only needed to use his mental power to easily sweep the mud aside."

Mental power!

Jiang Ning caught the key words, and the broken string in her mind was connected with a click. The supernatural power was useless, but she had mental power. The mental power could identify the magnetic field fluctuations of the surrounding life forms, and it was more than enough to use it to find a person!

She immediately released her mental power, and immediately all the energy fluctuations in the cave were in her sight.

The energy fluctuations in the two tunnels were so large that she could not ignore them. She took a deep look at it, and the dark cave was like an abyss, as if it was going to swallow up everyone who looked at it.

Jiang Ning quickly retracted her sight and carefully identified the magnetic field fluctuations in the cave where she was.

In addition to the strong fluctuations around Li Xiang, there were also a lot of these pieces of sand on the ground.

Jiang Ning noted the location, told Li Xiang, and then quickly took out a shovel from the nano ring. Thanks to her love of throwing things into the nano ring, this thing finally came in handy.

Jiang Ning and Li Xiang dug for nearly an hour and a half, and finally dug the remaining four people out of the sand.

"Can your supernatural power heal?" Jiang Ning asked Li Xiang.

Li Xiang nodded hesitantly, his expression somewhat unnatural: "But I consumed too much mental power when attacking the aliens, and now it is probably not enough."

He only has D-level mental power, and he can't stand the consumption at all.

"Unless there is a spiritual weapon that can help me recover some mental power quickly." Li Xiang lowered his eyes and spoke more and more quietly.

He knew that this was a fantasy. How could there be a spiritual weapon in this place?

"Spiritual weapon..." Jiang Ning pursed her lips.

She just happened to have this thing!

Jiang Ning took out a petal-shaped spiritual weapon from the nano ring without saying a word. This was a gift from Cole before. It didn't do much for her now, so she kept it in the nano ring.

Jiang Ning threw the petal spiritual weapon into Li Xiang's arms and said, "Try to see if it works?"

Li Xiang looked at the thing in his hand in shock: "How did you get this!"

"Ke Lai gave it to me." Jiang Ning answered casually.

"You just gave it to me like this?" Li Xiang looked at her with a complicated expression.

Jiang Ning must have spent a lot of effort to get such a spiritual weapon. She is an F-level spiritual power, and she must have relied on this spiritual weapon to improve her spiritual power level. Now she actually gave it to him like this!

"Didn't you say that spiritual power can be restored with a spiritual weapon?" Jiang Ning looked at him in confusion.

Wouldn't it be possible to treat the unconscious people on the ground with spiritual power?

A stone that is useless to her can save four people. Is there any need to choose?

"Just treat as many as you can, don't force it." Jiang Ning thought for

a moment, and then said, "Save Ke Lai first." Li Xiang glanced at her and understood Jiang Ning's friendship with Ke Lai. If it were him, he would definitely save his best friend first.

However, what Jiang Ning actually thought in his heart was that a spiritual weapon could not restore much mental power, and Li Xiang only had D-level mental power, so it would be a problem to save one at a time. Awakening Ke Lai first would also provide him with more spiritual weapon support.

This is undoubtedly the best choice.
