Chapter 42 Sinking into the ground
The past few days of recuperation were the first time they enjoyed leisure time after leaving the dormitory building. During these three days, the cafeteria building was calm, and not even a rat monster came out of the rat hole. The only regret
What's more, Xiaobai still hasn't come back, which makes Du Jiujiu feel disappointed and even more worried.
The physical recovery ability of awakened people is really amazing. After just three days of recovery, Hu Xiaoyun's broken arm can already be moved a little, but there is still some pain when moving.
Although Wu Bin seemed to be seriously injured before, most of them were skin injuries. After a night's rest, he was fine. So the job of caring for He Wenyuan fell on him. He Wenyuan was the most seriously injured among the others.
Now they can barely sit up and eat some porridge. Without the chef He Wenyuan, their food standards have plummeted a lot.
Du Jiujiu did not relax because of the comfortable environment in the past few days. Because he discovered the shortcomings of his combat power in the previous battle, after An Cheng recovered a little, Du Jiujiu pulled her for training every day.
Although Du Jiujiu's power was very useful in the early stage, after meeting more and more other types of superpowers, her weaknesses gradually became apparent.
In terms of melee combat ability, she can't compare to beast-like superpowers at the same level of evolution; in terms of long-range attacks, she can't compare to elemental superpowers like Hu Xiaoyun; in terms of flexibility of attacks, she can't compare to An Cheng; to be honest, she can't compare to An Cheng.
She is not even as important as Xiaowen and Wei Qingqing in terms of the importance of the team.
Du Jiujiu's current strength is only based on having several times more energy than others. She is very worried that if she continues, her role in the team will become smaller and smaller, and she will even become a burden to everyone. This is
Du Jiujiu couldn't accept it no matter what.
"Jiujiu, let's take a rest." An Cheng sat on a chair nearby, with a slight sweat on his forehead.
"I'm okay. I'm not very proficient in the moves you taught me just now. I'll practice a few more times!" Du Jiujiu held a long knife in his hand and was sweating profusely in an open space in the cafeteria, constantly practicing how to use the knife.
Skill.
This knife was re-made for her by An Cheng. After Du Jiujiu's strength continued to increase, it was a bit reluctant to use the previous one.
When An Cheng made this knife, he specially selected some of the hardest metals to fuse together, and compressed it as much as possible, making it five times as heavy as the previous knife.
Even so, this knife is still a little light for Du Jiujiu, but that's all it can do until better metal is found.
An Cheng originally wanted to help He Wenyuan and Wu Bin make two more handy weapons. However, He Wenyuan said that he was used to using the fire ax and did not want to replace it yet, while Wu Bin directly asked for the knife Du Jiujiu replaced, which made An Cheng save the money.
caused a lot of trouble.
Compared to everyone else's leisure, An Cheng has been very busy these days. The door destroyed by Wang Xiong and the others is in urgent need of repair, and the mouse hole in the storage room also needs to be reinforced. The weapon she built for Du Jiujiu also consumed a lot of her energy.
Energy. And the remaining time was almost spent by Du Jiujiu as a sparring partner.
For some reason, starting from this morning, An Cheng, like Du Jiujiu, would feel palpitations from time to time, as if some danger was slowly approaching, but when he thought about it carefully, he had no clue.
After Xiaowen learned about their strangeness, she also used her mental power to explore the surrounding situation several times. There was nothing abnormal. However, the range where the underground could shield the mental power detection seemed to have become larger before, and the distance from them was also further away.
Close.
Du Jiujiu and An Cheng had the same ominous premonition and the unknown area underground indicated that this place was no longer suitable for living. After discussion, they unanimously decided that they could no longer wait for He Wenyuan to fully recover and leave here early tomorrow morning.
They didn't have much luggage, just one backpack per person, and there were only piles of food, which was really inconvenient to carry.
Unfortunately, time was running out, so they could only take away a small part first, and then slowly transport it to a new home.
After packing their bags, it was already past noon. They had a hasty lunch and were about to take a short rest. Suddenly there was a violent vibration from deep in the earth, and thick and long cracks were shaken on the marble floor.
spread.
"Is this an earthquake?" Wei Qingqing ran out in panic, but before he could take a few steps, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed.
All of them fell down together with the fragments of the collapsed house.
In desperation, Du Jiujiu could only pick up Hu Xiaoyun who was closest to her, and jumped up on the falling boulders. Unfortunately, her speed was still not as fast as her falling speed. She only held on for a moment before falling together with the boulders.
Go down.
Fortunately, the distance he fell was not long, only five or six meters, and his feet landed on the ground in a moment.
"Ouch!" "Bang!" "Bump!" Several screams echoed in the underground potholes along with the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Although this distance of five or six meters is not a big deal to an evolved person, it is still a bit dangerous for ordinary people. Fortunately, before landing, An Cheng used an iron whip turned into a scimitar to tightly wrap Guoguo's ankles.
He stopped and cushioned part of the force for her, so she didn't get hurt.
He Wenyuan was not so lucky. He was seriously injured and fell to the ground. He vomited blood immediately and passed out.
After Du Jiujiu put Hu Xiaoyun down, she looked around. With the light coming from the entrance of the cave, she saw that there were many densely packed cave entrances around. The entrances were about two meters in diameter and it was pitch black inside.
"Jiujiu... this should be a place that I couldn't detect before..." Xiaowen whispered, her voice trembling slightly. She was still a little shocked by the sudden change.
"This place must be some kind of insect cave." An Cheng dusted off the dirt on his body and changed the weapon in his hand back to the shape of a scimitar.
"No matter what it is, let's get out of here quickly! According to the size of this cave, there must be mutant insect monsters living in it. If we are discovered by them, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!" Wu Bin looked a little anxious.
After checking He Wenyuan's breath and confirming that he was still alive, Wu Bin looked around at the walls of the pit, trying to find a way to leave.
"It's too late to leave now." Du Jiujiu's face showed an unprecedented solemn look. As her voice fell, dense rustling sounds sounded from all directions.
