Chapter 250: There’s Still A Path Ahead!

Lu Siya was stunned for a total of three seconds before she cussed.

Qin Hu slapped Meng Chao’s shoulder and said earnestly, “I’m not trying to criticize you, brat, but look at the time and place. Why are you still thinking about that unhealthy stuff right now?”

“No, you don’t understand what I’m saying.” Meng Chao was so anxious that he scratched his face. He pointed at the crack to the right and said, “Big Sis Ya, you said that this is the path to survival because you sensed spirit energy fluctuations from the outside world, so you’re sure that this is the path leading to the surface, right?”

“Yes.” Lu Siya frowned and nodded. “I am certain that this is the path that leads to the surface.”

“Then that’s definitely not the path!” Meng Chao said firmly. “Think about it. We’ve spent a few days before we finally found a way leading deep underground. We used up a lot of time to draw a map, but the distance between this place and the surface should be at least hundreds of meters. Besides, we’re talking about the rising and falling Raging Waves above us. Who knows how far away we are from the surface.

“And we’re talking about the linear distance. If we include the winding paths, the angle of the slope, and our injuries, it’ll make it difficult for us to move. Even if we climb for a day and night, we might not be able to make it out.

“Big Sis Ya, you’re drained of spirit energy. It’s impossible for you to use Spike Art to change the structure of the rock stratum to form a tunnel, right? Then, it’s definitely not this path, because we’ll be caught by the spirit energy tsunami and burn to death in the crack!”

Lu Siya’s pupils shrank into two dots, and she mumbled, “That’s true. The spirit energy ripple I sense is very weak. There’s still a long way to the surface.”

“Even if we climb out through here, we’ll only end up in the depths of Raging Waves,” Meng Chao continued. “Let’s not talk about whether the destructive spirit energy tsunami will take shape or not. Either way, the Deity Realm fighters and Apocalyptic Beasts will certainly turn violent and enter fights to the death. In our current condition, the moment we crawl out, we’ll be sent out by the impact waves. It’s no different compared to dying underground.”

“It’s logical,” Lu Siya said. “But even if the right leads to death, how would you know that the left leads to survival?”

“I didn’t say that the left definitely leads to survival. We’re just taking a bet. I’m confident in Mr. Hu’s countenance!” Meng Chao cast an intense gaze at his companion.

Qin Hu scratched his head. “My... countenance?”

“Your face, I mean,” Meng Chao explained. He turned his head around and said, “Big Sis Ya, look at Mr. Hu’s face, then think of his status, personality, actions, and his relationship with us. Don’t you think that they’re very strange?”

Lu Siya was stunned. “What’s strange about them?”

“Mr. Hu has a grudge against me, and he’s one of the top fighters in Shen Yulong’s team. And with his face, he’s practically...” Meng Chao thought about it for a long time before he finally found a suitable description. “He’s the type of person who would not live past three episodes in a TV series, past three pages in a manga, and past three chapters in a novel!”

Qin Hu found himself speechless.

Lu Siya did not know what to say.

“I’m a rare prodigy and a future star who rose to power miraculously. I’m destined to rule over the alliance of the five universities and defeat Dragon City University. And I even inherited Big Brother Lin’s dying will.

“Big Sis Ya, you’re the future leader of Sky Pillar Corporation. You were born with all sorts of valuable materials given to you and bathed in high-grade superbeast blood.

“It’d be nothing strange if both of us survived this disaster. In fact, it’s only natural that we’d survive.

“But Mr. Hu actually managed to survive with us. Don’t you think that this alone is very unbelievable?”

Qin Hu hissed at him. “B-Brat, just you wait. When I’m healed—”

“Don’t be hasty, Mr. Hu, I’m pointing out your flaws before I talk about your strengths. This is a writing trick. I’ll immediately talk about what’s amazing about you.” Meng Chao continued like a rattling gun. “I’ve thought about this for a long time, and I finally found an answer.

“Mr. Hu has been jumping around in such a lively manner until now because he has a lot of luck and astonishing instincts. Without even knowing it, he can find a way to survive a situation that leads to certain death. He can even rise to the top with such instincts.

“Right now, we have no other choice but to rely on Mr. Hu’s luck!”

Lu Siya and Qin Hu looked at each other.

“Do we?” Qin Hu scratched his moustache. “Do I really have great luck, and with just a point of my finger, I can direct us to survival?”

“Get rid of that question mark. Be more confident. That’s the truth.” Meng Chao took a hold of Qin Hu’s hands and stared into his eyes. He said clearly, “I. Trust. You. Mr. Hu!”

Qin Hu was stunned.

The next second, his eyes started tearing up.

“Brat, let go,” he cried out in pain. “You’re friggin’ crushing my hand!”

Meng Chao let go of Qin Hu’s twisted palm and clenched his fists. He punched the wall and said, “So, we’re going to the left, agreed?”

Lu Siya and Qin Hu had no other choice but to agree.

When the three of them left the Red Radiance Jade mine, they were already drained of spirit energy. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and they were almost empty of blood. They had only lasted until now due to their strong willpower.

Qin Hu and Lu Siya no longer had the strength to struggle.

But Meng Chao could use contribution points in exchange for healing.

Even though he had fought against a Hell Beast with Lin Chuan, which led to the appraisal of his quest to not be high, he could still exchange it for a few Intermediate Stage Healing Skills.

Besides, the Ultimate Style was known for its super endurance. At that moment, he was still full of life and had some strength.

In Qin Hu and Lu Siya’s eyes, he was basically a monster.

And if they wanted to escape death, they needed this monster’s help.

If they relied only on their dying selves, it would be impossible for them to crawl up for at least twelve hours through the winding underground crack.

When they saw Meng Chao leading the way and crawling to the crack that looked like a beauty lying on its side, both of them felt resigned. They could only cuss while they followed him.

But against their expectations, the crack soon widened. The further they crawled, the wider it became, and the further they climbed, the smoother it became. In a while, their abdomens left the ground and they could use their arms and legs to crawl swiftly.

“Brat, you’re seriously...” Qin Hu was shocked and delighted.

Meng Chao smiled.

In his previous life, Qin Hu had managed to flee and survive. And even though he was already a greasy middle-aged man, he managed to reach Heaven Realm, so he had to have received some sort of blessing.

When Meng Chao said that he was relying on Qin Hu’s luck, he was not lying. The truth, however, was that he was relying on his advantage as a person who returned to the past.

...

The next moment, he ran into a wall.

There was no other path ahead.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

All their light was swallowed by darkness.

“This is a deadend,” Lu Siya said in despair.

When they wanted to turn around, they heard an explosion behind them.

Waves of spirit flames came charging forward, and each was higher than the last. They engulfed their exit.

The resonance from hundreds of crystal mines caused the spirit energy magnetic field interference to become stronger. It was as if invisible magma had enveloped their skins inch by inch, which made their blood boil. Their organs and cerebral cortex started burning.

“Brat, I just chose randomly. I told you to listen to a specialist! Look, there’s no other path ahead of us!” Qin Hu looked really gloomy.

“No! There’s definitely a path ahead of us!”

Meng Chao gritted his teeth. His gaze turned into two impact drills that tried to drill holes into the wall.

He took three steps back and growled. The last of his spirit energy filled up the spirit meridians in his right arm to form the spirit energy magnetic field for Demon Subduing Pole.

He moved his body into the force execution posture for Reckless Bull Technique.

His tendons stretched taut due to the secret technique of Dragon Snake Force.

His muscle fibers started accumulating power, which traveled through him in wave-like layers.

Boom!

Meng Chaowas burned so badly that his fist moved on its own and rammed into the wall ahead of him. His skin tore and bled, and he fell back on his back.

“Brat, are you nuts?” Qin Hu was shocked. “You’re made of flesh and bones. How could you possibly knock down a wall?”

“I... I can! I definitely will!” Meng Chao got up through great difficulty. He wiped off the blood and grime from his face, but it only ended up going into his mouth. He gritted his teeth and said, “If there’s no path ahead, I will create it!”

Boom!

His second crash left behind a terrifying, blood-shaped human on the wall. Meng Chao fell back. He was a bloody mess, and Qin Hu, who was a ruthless person who had been fighting for years in the wild, felt his skin crawl.

“You’re not a brat,” Qin Hu mumbled. “You’re an absolute nutcase!”

“Wait!” Lu Siya suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at the wall with slight puzzlement. Her nose flared and her eyes lit up. “I can sense a very unique spirit energy. There’s something behind this wall!”

Before her voice could fade away, Meng Chao threw his third punch.

Boom!

Rumble!

A miracle happened!

When he was sent reeling back one more time, intersecting cracks appeared on the seemingly unbreakable wall. Immediately after, the wall collapsed and revealed a tunnel that was one meter wide.

It was bright in the cave beyond.

Ultramarine, Prussian blue, cobalt blue, lake blue, indigo, azure blue, cerulean, crystal blue, purplish blue, dark blue, peacock blue, skyblue, deep blue, light blue, bright blue, ice blue, water blue, blackish blue, sapphire blue, sharp blue, aquamarine, dusty blue, whitish blue, sea blue, night blue, faint blue, ambient blue, cyan, neon blue... Hundreds of shades of blue intersected with each other. They were in a natural crystal cave, which was a brand new crystal palace.

“This is...”

Qin Hu and Lu Siya stared at Meng Chao in disbelief.

The spirit flames behind them roared again and licked their feet.

Both of them looked at each other and quickly grabbed Meng Chao to stuff him into the hole. Then, they crawled inside as well.

They were in a natural cave with a diameter of less than five meters.

It was much smaller than the Red Radiance Jade mine.

The blue crystal clusters around them shone with a calm and peaceful light. They were completely different from the rampaging Red Radiance Jade energy outside, so the trio could not help but calm down.

“What is this place?” Qin Hu looked around him, then at his wounds. They had stopped bleeding. “I feel much better, and my wounds don’t hurt as much anymore. My vitality magnetic field has become much stabler, and my dried up spirit meridians are filing up again. I feel like I’ve just crawled into the most advanced medical cabin.”

“This is a natural Blue Origin Crystal cave, and the purity of these crystals is very high. Among all the crystals, Blue Origin Crystals have the closest vibration frequency to that of a human vitality magnetic field, so we’re in harmony. It can stimulate a human body’s immune and regeneration systems, so its healing effects are incredibly good. It’s often used for the creation of high-grade medical cabins and cultivation rooms. Hence, it’s also known as a Life Stone.”

Lu Siya put her hands into a hole formed by a blue crystal cluster. After analyzing it for a while, she said, “At the same time, it’s also very stable. It’s unlike other crystals and doesn’t easily produce violent reactions. It can be considered an inert crystal. It’s often used for stabilizing agents during cultivation. It’s especially useful for neutralizing and stabilizing high-energy crystals which are incredibly unstable, like Red Radiance Jades.”

Qin Hu scratched his moustache for a long time. He thought about it and asked, “So... what does that mean, Ms. Lu?”

“So, if the spirit energy magnetic fields from the Red Radiance Jades can be subtly weakened, neutralized, and canceled by the spirit energy vibration frequencies of the Blue Origin Crystals, there’s a possibility that the incredibly violent destructive power will turn into relatively gentle energy that can be absorbed. It will stimulate the potential in our genes and allow us to break our limits.”

Lu Siya’s eyes shone, and she squashed down the excitement and ambition in her heart. “This natural cave won’t become our grave! It will become a super cultivation room the likes of which have never been seen before!”
