But a hard solution obviously comes at a huge cost, and what you get back in return for such a cost is most likely not at all what you paid for.
But there was no other way out for Han Qianqian.
He could only harden his head and use his brute strength to keep pounding into the opponent’s formation.
But the more Han Qianqian did so, the more calm the enemy became.
Soon, the situation slowly began to change subtly. Although Han Qianqian stuck to his spot just the same, it was obvious that his whole body began to be somewhat passive, while the enemy, on the contrary, was as steady as an old dog, quite orderly, making round after round of attack and defence transitions.
Han Qianqian directly cast down ground fire and fought hard against them.
It was a battle of attrition over time, and for both sides it was a drawn-out time from this point onwards, with both sides competing to see who had more patience.
Han Qianqian did his best to adjust his breathing, to hold back his inner restlessness, and to fight them
The two sides had to compete for patience.
In the tunnel, Xiaotao had fallen asleep leaning against the side, and when she opened her eyes, there was already a deep tunnel ahead of her.
The tunnel was deep and invisible, but one could feel the depth of the tunnel itself by the cool air coming from inside.
“Sister Yingxia?” Xiaotao called out softly.
The sound was soft, but it flowed in quick succession inside the aisle, with a muffled echo resonating.
Su Yingxia did not stir, which made Xiaotao unable to resist getting up and then walking towards the inside of the aisle.
It was dark inside, almost invisible to the eye, but it was cool enough that one did not feel any discomfort.
Peach was a little frightened, but gathered up the courage to go deeper and deeper towards the bottom.
One metre, two metres, ten metres, even twenty or thirty metres.
For a normal situation, this distance is actually very short, but in the darkness
When it comes to feeling your way and being brave, it is still very far for Xiao Tao.
After about another distance, Xiao Tao already felt that she did not know how long had passed.
Finally, she felt what seemed to be ahead of her.
She bravely walked over to it.
Picking it up, the next moment she instantly touched something. She didn’t even have time to reflect on what it was before she was about to scream in outright terror.
What was good was that a hand quickly covered her mouth.
After that, a fire light also lit up, and Su Yingxia rushed at her with a shushing gesture.
“Sister Yingxia, you …… why didn’t you say anything, you scared Xiaotao to death.” Little Peach was a little scared, but obviously lowered her voice a lot.
She didn’t have the cultivation level, so being scared was the norm.
But seeing that Su Yingxia appeared and told her not to speak, she still used her greatest strength to make
herself relatively calm.
This might not be a difficult task for a normal person, but for her it was a very extreme operation.
Su Yingxia frowned slightly, “Don’t talk, listen carefully.”
The two women were silent, and Xiao Tao also obediently pricked up her ears.
Along with the silence inside the tunnel, soon, bursts of explosions began to ring in the ears, along with bursts of clashing weapons.
“There’s a fight outside?” Little Peach said worriedly.
Su Yingxia nodded, “But that’s not the point.”
It was almost a certainty that Han Qianqian would fight with them. What was really crucial was actually the sound of weapons clashing above.
“We’re several metres underground, and according to common sense, it would be perfectly normal for there to be the sound of an explosion above, but the sound of weapons clashing against each other isn’t supposed to be.”
This was not, after all, a thousand armies at war, let alone cold weapons
Weapons are not directly killing people, so there must not actually be too many clashes of weapons.
They are more likely to be spell-to-spell blasts.
And in such a situation, there are many explosions, and the sound of the weapons is more easily muffled.
The other thing, of course, was that the two men were now underground and there was quite a bit of mud overhead for cover, and these would also muffle the sound.
“What does this mean?” Xiaotao didn’t quite understand Su Yingxia’s words.
She wasn’t Han Qianqian after all, and she also didn’t have the tacit understanding that Han Qianqian had with her after all, where she could instantly understand exactly what she meant with just a slight nudge.
“It means that we’re close to the real battlefield up there, or even that it’s being fought not far above our heads.”
Only then would it be possible to hear the sound of weapons meeting, otherwise that would simply be impossible.
“You mean that three thousand brothers are fighting right above our heads?”
