Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, with the upper part clear as yang and the lower part turbid as yin. Therefore, Yang Qi will always rise, while Yin Qi will sink.
Although the Earth Escape Technique adopts the path of the five elements of earth, it will still be disturbed by Yin Qi when sneaking underground. This kind of nuisance is not serious under normal circumstances, and you don't even need to worry about it. It belongs to the natural laws of heaven and earth and will not have any impact on escape techniques.
But special circumstances are a different matter.
The location where Zhang Yan escaped was in the outer area of the Xueyuan Mining Area, and he deliberately avoided the area outside the gathering area of the Dead Silence Path demarcated by Nanyuan Kingdom. The purpose is to be able to slowly and slowly probe deeper without being discovered by the ghosts near the Dead Silence Road.
But this was Zhang Yan's first attempt to escape underground with a huge Tiangang Pillar. He had never thought that he would encounter such a situation before.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan's cultivation level is high enough now. He has been practicing the Earth Escape method from the very beginning, so it can be called superb. Now, although the speed of diving into the ground with a huge Tiangang Pillar is not fast, it is still smooth.
Once you enter the underground, your normal vision becomes unreliable. There is really no light here. What you need to rely on is perception. Use perception to guide your escape direction, and avoid some water layers and potholes in the ground.
Zhang Yan's movement direction was diagonally downward. Because he needs to identify the forward range based on the degree of gathering of Yin Qi.
"It's actually so deep?"
Along the way, Zhang Yan soon discovered that the mining area seemed deserted and dilapidated from above, but underneath the ground was a different scene, extending in all directions like a densely intertwined spider web. From time to time, the Earth Escape Technique will fall into a dark mine tunnel that no one has set foot on for who knows how many years. Layer by layer, diagonally downward, the existence of the mine tunnel can still be felt for more than thirty feet.
After about a stick of incense, Zhang Yan sensed the first group of ghosts since arriving here. Similar to the situation encountered before, the ghost general was the leader, and then the spirit feeder led several "white and fat" spirit boys to gather together. Moreover, it seemed that they were moving much faster than what Zhang Yan had encountered twice before. In addition, they were all very vigilant, especially the ghost generals who followed them, and would wander around a certain area from time to time, seeming to be searching for something.
It seems that because Nanyuan Kingdom has been blocked by two Dead Silence Roads, are the ghosts here also starting to be wary?
It's very reasonable. Zhang Yan smiled in his heart and didn't pay much attention. His most important purpose is to set up the formation first, so that these ghosts will not be able to escape by then. No matter how cautious they are, it is impossible for them to notice any clues before the formation is launched.
As he continued to get closer, groups of ghosts appeared more frequently, but Zhang Yan continued to arrange the foundation of the formation in an orderly manner. However, as the arrangement progressed, he gradually felt something unusual. That is, there seem to be too many ghosts gathered around the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road.
According to the previous experience of blocking two Deadly Silent Roads, the Deadly Silent Road is actually a busy pass. No matter whether people are entering or leaving, they are in a hurry, and there will not be a large number of ghosts staying outside in a short period of time.
However, there are many ghosts gathered at the entrance and exit of the dead road under the snowfield mining area. Some ghosts even seemed to be walking around in a hurry but did not leave or enter. It was more like they were pretending.
"Is this... waiting for something to happen?" Although Zhang Yan knew that he might have fallen into the trap set by the ghost this time, he did not panic and smiled to himself. It is also a reminder of the relaxed mentality I have always had when facing ghosts. After all, ghosts have the same intelligence as living people. You can't always suffer losses but never have a long memory, right?
It's just that Zhang Yan himself took it too lightly and ended up in this current situation.
Zhang Yan was making calculations in his mind, but at the same time he was not panicking. He now has two choices, either to simply abandon the Tiangang Pillar and run away, and try to see if he can break out of this place with Earth Escape. It is obvious that a circle has been formed for him.
Another option is that since you are here, there is no reason to run away halfway. Then give it a try and see what methods the ghosts have prepared for him.
If he were in a ghost domain, Zhang Yan would most likely choose to avoid the peak temporarily. After all, it was the territory of ghosts. But although this place is underground, it is also the world of the sun. How can we be timid before fighting? What's more, Zhang Yan's previous plan was to mess up the ghosts' secret plan against him. If he could break the situation at this time, it would naturally make it more difficult for the ghosts in the ghost realm to attack him.
But you have to find a suitable place. He cannot be in a state of escape, otherwise Zhang Yan will not be able to use many methods due to the limited number of Five Elements spells.
So after Zhang Yan buried the fifth Tiangang Pillar at hand, he quietly searched in the dense mine tunnels, and finally found an underground cavity with a radius of three feet, less than ten feet away from the ground in a straight line. There are also some rotten wooden tables and stools scattered here. It should be a small stop in the former mining area for resting and taking stock of the miners' profits.
In Zhang Yan's perception, this is an intermediate position between the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road. It is not too deep and does not appear to be too defensive. At the same time, although the three-foot radius is not large, it is actually enough when fighting against incorporeal opponents like ghosts.
Zhang Yan stamped his foot, and a khaki light spread like ripples from the place where Zhang Yan stepped on it. And as this earthy yellow light passed by, all the earth and stone structures in the surrounding area, including the hollow here and the mine tunnels extending in all directions, immediately became compact, even as solid as pig iron. And this state can remain unchanged for at least an hour.
Since you choose to have a head-on confrontation with those ghosts, you won't run to the ground. What if the other party retreats? But it was not appropriate to stay in the state of Earth Escape, so Zhang Yan created a suitable environment for himself.
"When I was in Langyuan City, I killed several of your so-called Holy Kings, and I almost killed a Great Holy King. I was still wondering how you could be so silent and silent? I didn't expect to ambush you here. I.
Come out and let me see what methods you have available? "
Zhang Yan's words spread far and wide in the dark mine tunnel, and the echoes slowly decreased over and over again and finally disappeared.
Zhang Yan was not in a hurry. He closed his eyes in the darkness, and his perception replaced his vision, breaking through the barriers of layers of earth and stone.
Invisible to the eyes, the ghosts who were still performing hard stopped their movements one after another. After a while, those fierce ghosts and ghost children hurriedly fled into the entrance of the Dead Silence Road, while those who stayed outside The weakest ghosts are also the ghost generals. As for the ghost kings, they are emerging one by one along the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road...
