Chapter 1781 Digging a hole
After Long Heping packed the branches and wooden blocks of the space ring, he climbed along the vines to the place where Lu Niu dug the hole. At this time, Lu Niu had already dug half a foot deep. However, because he wanted to get out the digging soil, and the soil here was really too soft, and the mud and sand above kept falling down, the more he dug it in, the slower the speed.
"Brother Lu, let me come and ask you to dig." As soon as Long Heping came into the hole, he immediately took out the prepared wood planks from the space ring and strengthened the top of the hole.
In this regard, Long Heping is now an expert. Because since he joined the Long family, due to his excellent performance, he was naturally valued by the Long family, who lacked manpower. Although he was not allowed to participate in economic affairs, he has gradually participated in engineering affairs and has to be arrogant about building a house. He is a little good at it now.
So, when Lu Niu heard that the geology here is soft, he immediately thought that he must strengthen the top of the hole when digging a hole, otherwise not only will the mud and sand fall down affect the speed of the hole, but it will also easily collapse. If it is dug deep, it will be easy to bury people inside, which is very dangerous.
"Brother Long, this is not a problem that the soil itself is soft. It should be a hole here. What we dug is the collapsed soil. Please see, there are still tree roots that have broken and become rotten here." After digging for a while, Lu Niu stopped and said to Long Heping in a deep voice.
"Ah! Brother Lu, are you saying that we happened to find the hole where my father was trapped?" After hearing Lu Niu's words, Long Heping shouted excitedly.
"Brother Long, there is this possibility. So, now you need to be mentally prepared. We may have to dig here for at least ten days and half a month. You also know that if you can block the reception and transmission of the Wanli Yinshi Jade, there must be strong obstacles to block the transmission of information. Therefore, I estimate that your father is at least trapped in the cave at a distance of tens of thousands of meters." Luniu said.
"Brother Lu, it's God's will to bring you here this time. You not only saved me, but also became my father's life savior. Brother Lu, please rest assured, don't say that my life will be yours in the future. At least I will agree without hesitation if you ask me to do anything in the future.
Now, I just dig through this mountain. No matter when I dig it, I will continue to dig. But this is really hard, brothers Lu, and I can't repay this kindness." Long Heping immediately stepped forward and grabbed Luniu's hand tightly and said.
"Brother Long, the matter has reached this point today. Who will help you if I don't help you? Please rest assured, I will dig this hole with you. Don't worry and hesitate. Let's dig it quickly. If your father is really here, then we will be digging against time now." Lu Niu immediately focused his head and said to Long Heping, then patted Long Heping on the shoulder, turned around and continued to dig the hole.
At the beginning, Long Heping not only stabilized the above hole, he could also help Lu Niu clean the soil. However, as the hole deepened and the distance transported the soil increased, Long Heping's speed of cleaning the soil naturally could not keep up with the speed of Lu Niu digging. Slowly, Lu Niu had to dig for a while, and he was going to transport the soil. In this way, the speed of digging the hole was as slow as a snail. The two of them kept digging all day long, and they couldn't dig much farther forward.
Long Heping naturally couldn't urge Lu Niu, but he was already anxious.
"Brother Long, this is not possible. We have to find another way." Lu Niu was impatient and stopped to look at Long Heping and said.
"Brother Lu, what else do you have?" Long Heping asked immediately.
"Brother Long, if it is true as your father sent you the message that we have dug so far here now, we can be completely sure that your father is trapped here. And, you said before that your father had exhausted several small levels of cultivation and true energy to send the message. Then he has been trapped for so long. If he was not in despair, he would definitely not do this. Then, saving people is like putting out a fire. We cannot procrastinate like this. We must take measures to dig up your father and rescue him as soon as possible.
So, I decided that we should not push the soil outside now. I will dig it with all my strength. You can see how much soil you can clear. If you can't clear it, just step on it and let it pile it up. In this way, you don't have to work hard to strengthen the top of the cave. Only then will we be faster at this speed." Luniu said.
"Ah! Brother Lu, it is very dangerous to do this. Once the soil is dug, it will take up more space and we will be blocked soon. To save my father, I will have no regrets if something goes wrong, but if something happens to you, I owe you so much." Long Heping said in shock immediately.
"Brother Long, until now, you still haven't treated me as your brother. Although this martial arts world doesn't have much human touch, it mainly means that everyone has to keep a cold-blooded side during the fight. But in fact, who can't be able to get into two sides?
Brother Long, don’t worry, I came up with this idea, I am mentally prepared. Don’t hesitate, let’s start.” Lu Niu said, and ignored Long Heping and began to dig up with all his strength.
If Long Heping still strengthened the top of the cave as before and cleaned the soil again with this fierce dig, it would be impossible. Because the movement of cleaning the soil was a little slower, the soil would separate him from Lu Niu.
"Go!" So he immediately shouted, leaned against Lu Niu, waved his hands, and actually hit the soil that was dug and thrown by Lu Niu to him with his palm, knocking the soil out of the cave. Suddenly, mud and sand in the cave were flying, and the two of them could not see the situation by their eyes, but could only perceive it by consciousness.
Slowly, he felt a palm hitting his hand and there was resistance in his palm. At this time, he knew that he could no longer hit like this, because with one blow, the soil could no longer be sent out, and he could only hit the soil so that it could fly in this limited space. Moreover, their way out was that they were blocked by the soil. If they wanted to get out, they had to dig a hole and climb out.
So he slowly leaned forward and pushed forward with force when he touched the soil.
In this way, he could immediately feel that there was still a gap when he pushed the soil wherever he could push the soil.
The space for them to set off was getting smaller and smaller. After a while, they could no longer set off.
"Brother Lu, we are trapped." Long Heping whispered.
"Brother Long, how many space rings do you have?" However, Lu Niu asked Long Heping.
"There are five, but only one has something inside, and the others are empty. Give it, and give it to you all." Long Heping immediately took out the space ring on his body and handed it to Lu Niu and said.
"There are four empty ones? Very good. Brother Long, you are wrong about me. I am not asking for things in the space ring. I want to fill the digging of soil into the space ring. Isn't it just to make space for us? This space ring is enough for us to dig a distance of one or two meters forward. I also have about ten empty space rings on my body, so we can dig a long distance forward as fast as possible." Lu Niu said.
"Ah! Brother Lu, your mind is really good. In this way, I can use the collection function of the space ring and directly collect soil. Then, I can use the proposed function of the space ring and pour out the soil of the space ring. Haha, it would be strange if outsiders know that we use the space ring like this, and they are not stunned." After hearing Lu Niu's words, Long Heping said happily.
But although he was laughing, the laughter was trembling. Needless to say, he was very excited at this time, and tears were already flowing in his eyes.
The two used the collection function of the space ring, and the speed of digging holes forward was many times faster. In just half a day, the two felt that they had moved a long distance.
“Bang…”
Just as the two of them had their rings filled with soil and the dug out space was also filled with soil, a muffled sound suddenly came from the depths.
"Ah! Dad!" Hearing this voice, Long Heping couldn't control his inner excitement, and shouted loudly, and his whole body trembled, as if he was standing unsteadily.
They had been digging like this day and night for more than ten days, and the two of them were almost swaying with their willpower. Now that Long Heping was excited, he showed signs of exhaustion.
"Haha, Brother Long, don't worry, he can't hear you calling like this. Come on, sit for a while, eat something to replenish your energy first." Lu Niu was also exhausted at this time, but his cultivation level was a little higher than Long Heping after all, so he immediately reached out to support Long Heping and let him sit down and say it. Then, he sat down himself, and quickly took out a piece of barbecue from his body, tore it in half, and handed it to Long Heping half.
"Brother Long, we must eat it before we can have strength. Because, we cannot be completely sure whether the sound from before was your father who responded to the sound we dug. In case of other situations, we must have the energy to deal with it." Lu Niu saw that Long Heping did not respond, so he said again.
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Lu." After hearing Lu Niu's words, Long Heping immediately took the barbecue and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
After eating the barbecue, the two of them took out a bottle of water and drank it. Then Long Heping stood up and prepared to dig a hole. However, Lu Niu grabbed him.
"Brother Long, at this time, we must be calm and maintain strong energy to deal with all changes." Lu Niu said.
"Brother Lu, I'm full and have the energy." Long Heping said immediately.
"Brother Long, no, please sit down, we will adjust our breath for an hour, and then dig again. Because you know, we are at the end of our lives now. If we dig a distance forward and then can't dig out the space, we have to dig back and then make plans. Because there is no place to stuff the soil here," Lu Niu said.
