Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 3517

Deep in the darkness

Yang Yi was running madly in the dark and deep sewer.

Fortunately, the construction of leizhe city had just been completed, and the underground network had not been in use for long. Other than shallow sewage, there was no pungent smell, no blocked sludge, and no annoying snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

Only the shock from the battle on the ground continued to be transmitted to the underground, causing the sewer to shake violently and could collapse at any time.

There were many branches ahead.

It was as complicated as a maze.

Yang Yi, on the other hand, had already memorized the distribution map of the entire underground pipe network of leizhe city in his mind. He was confident and did not hesitate.

BOOM!

On the ground, another violent explosion occurred.

Yang Yi staggered and almost dropped ding Lingdang.

The little girl coughed continuously and slowly woke up.

Without waiting for her to open her eyes wide, he started to struggle with all his might.

Yang Yi immediately felt that the little girl on his shoulder had turned from a little cat into a little tiger.

No, not a Tiger.

Instead, it was a T-Rex that had not yet grown.

"Let me go! I want to go back and fight with everyone! Even if I die, I want to die with everyone!"

"Shut up and keep your childish temper!"

"Uncle yang, how can you do this? You're the Hunter police, you're a cultivator, how can you run away?"

  because I have a mission that is more important than dying in vain. I have to send you out of the city in one piece. In order to complete my mission, I am willing to sacrifice everything, including my life and glory! 

"Why? I'm just an ordinary child. Why do so many people know me and look at me with strange eyes? why do they all say that they will protect me and help me escape?"

"How should I know? You'll have to ask yourself!"

  I don't know, and I don't want to accept such treatment. I'm just an ordinary person from the vast wilderness. I should face the demon beasts and fight to the end like all the other people from the vast wilderness! 

  enough, don't take advantage of me. If you were really an ordinary person, you would have been dead long ago! 

Yang Yi's patience was running out.

He threw the little girl into the dirty water in front of him.

He felt that his expression must have been very ferocious.

Even in the deep sewer, only the light stick on his shoulder gave off a weak light.

Seeing his expression, ding Lingdang was still frightened. She used both her hands and feet and took a big step back.

"Uncle yang, be careful!"

All of a sudden, ding Lingdang's expression changed drastically.

At the same time, Yang Yi heard the deafening roar of a flood bursting behind him.

Perhaps there were high-level cultivators on the ground who were besieged by the beast tide and chose to self-destruct.

Or, the fuel cabin of the crystal tank was hit.

It was also possible that there had been an explosion in a place like the ammunition depot.

The earth-shattering explosion not only destroyed several miles of underground pipes, but also destroyed the underground tunnels.

The blast mixed with the flames of spiritual energy was more like a high-speed crystal train that was charging at Yang Yi's back.

The sewer was very narrow to begin with.

Due to the collapse of the ground, it was squeezed and twisted.

Yang Yi didn't have the space to move at all.

In the blink of an eye, he only had enough time to condense the last of his spiritual energy into a thin spiritual shield behind him.

BOOM!

He felt as if he had been hit by a crystal train.

He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell forward.

It was just enough to use its chest and arms to protect the panicked ding Lingdang.

...

The man returned to that dream.

It was as if he had just returned home from a long journey and was in a deep sleep. He was woken up by the familiar sweet smell of his wife's thick soup. He stared at the smell and the warm winter sun in a daze, as if an orange stream was flowing on his body.

"Daddy, Yingluo"

He heard the little girl's voice.

It was like the wind chimes hanging on the door, tinkling, tinkling.

He blinked, wanting to turn his head to see his daughter's face.

His body, which was covered in wounds, seemed to have fallen into a swamp, and he could not move no matter what.

  dad, wake up! The sun is already shining on your butt! 

The little girl continued to shout.

He blinked his eyes with all his might, his face flushed red and tears squeezed out of his eyes, but he did not move at all, and even sank deeper and deeper.

In the end, it was the little girl who took the initiative to jump onto him. She stared at him with her big, bright eyes and looked like a tiger as she giggled.

Of course, that was ding Lingdang.

Yang Yi suddenly woke up.

He felt his entire body burning, and at least a hundred wounds screamed at the same time.

Fortunately, most of them were external injuries and did not hurt his brain, spine, or internal organs.

Judging from the state of the wound's scab, another three to four hours had passed.

This was not the collapsed sewer, but another warm, moist, and dark underground space.

Yang Yi narrowed his eyes and looked around to confirm that this was an unfinished underground warehouse.

She lowered her head with some difficulty and looked at the bandages wrapped around her body. There was even a faint medicinal fragrance in the bandages.

There were several opened Military First Aid Kits in the corner.

The medicine and medical equipment inside all had traces of being used.

It seemed that this was the reason why he was able to wake up so quickly after experiencing such a serious explosion.

"Uncle yang, you're awake!"

Ding Lingdang's overjoyed voice came from behind him.

The little girl had used some unknown method to boil a can of demon beast meat and compressed military rations into a sweet and delicious paste.

Seeing that Yang Yi had woken up, she didn't even care about being muddled. She jumped up and down to check on Yang Yi's injuries. Then, she let out a long sigh of relief with an exaggerated expression.

Yang Yi raised his eyebrows.

He found that ding Lingdang's body was full of bruises and bruises.

Her originally red face had also turned black, and it was even stained with blood.

"Uncle yang, don't worry. I'm fine."

Seeing the confusion in Yang Yi's eyes, ding Lingdang explained in a hurry, " just now, I ran to the surface and found some food and a few first aid kits. When I was about to come back, I was accidentally discovered by a few demon beasts, but I've already driven them away! 

"..."

Although the little girl said it lightly, Yang Yi could still hear the shocking flavor between the lines.

A 12 - 13-year-old girl was walking alone in a burning city where demonic beasts ran rampant in search of food and medicine?

Yang Yi did not dare to imagine the danger that ding Lingdang was in.

He didn't know where she got her courage from.

He only knew one thing.

Ding Lingdang had risked running to the surface to save his life.

"Thank you," he said.

Yang Yi said softly with a complicated feeling.

"Don't. I should be the one thanking uncle yang. After all, you've already risked your life to save me twice."

Ding Lingdang's face flushed red. She held it in for a long time before she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, uncle yang. It's all my fault. I was too willful and insisted on fooling around with you in the sewer. I almost killed you. 

"Don't think that way. You didn't do anything wrong."

  of course.  Yang Yi smiled.  as the children of the Grand desolate plateau, the blood of the cultivators flows in our bodies. Of course, we must stick to the principle of 'everyone is United and we must march forward bravely'! 

"Eh?"

  huh? "ding Lingdang was somewhat confused. She seemed to want to ask," then why are we running away, no, retreating? "

  there's nothing wrong with advancing bravely and judging the situation. There are many choices in this world, and it's hard to tell right from wrong. 

Yang Yi moved his arm and felt that it was not a big deal.

He took the paste from ding Lingdang's hands, took a deep breath of the strong meaty aroma, and exclaimed, "your craftsmanship is not bad! 

  mom taught me. She was too busy with cultivation to cook, so she made military canned food for me. She said it was fast, nutritious, and would make me stronger, but it was actually just for convenience. I'm so strong because I ate military canned food! 

Ding Lingdang forced a smile on her small face, but there was still a trace of hesitation in her eyes. After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "uncle yang, in the situation at that time, was there really no chance to rush out directly?"

"Believe me, there's no chance."

Yang Yi analyzed, "it was obvious that the commander of the enemy, the demon general or even the Demon King, had set up a trap on purpose to gather the survivors scattered in the city that were not convenient to be killed and drive them into the fatal ambush circle.

  there must be an ambush behind the creep. We won't let a single fish escape. 

"Then, Zhenzhen"

Ding Lingdang thought for a moment.  then, what if we tell everyone about this and ask them to escape underground with us? "

"Impossible."

Yang Yi shook his head and said firmly, "time is tight and the situation is chaotic. How can we tell everyone and make everyone believe us?

"Originally, if we were to advance courageously and unite as one, even if we were to die, we would at least be able to kill a wave of beast tides.

"If half of the people wanted to charge forward and the other half wanted to retreat, the result would be even worse.

  besides, the underground space is limited. It's very easy to be blocked from both sides. If we make a big noise, even we won't be able to escape!
