Chapter 984 - Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan
They kept digging, frequently unearthing mangled corpses buried beneath the rubble.
Suddenly, Liu Wuxie detected a faint aura beneath a pile of rocks. He activated his Ghost Eye, and peered through the stones to catch sight of Yu Zhibai soaked in blood.
When the tunnel had collapsed, Yu Zhibai had fortunately propped his pickaxe upright to create a narrow space. One massive stone had pinned his leg, keeping him stuck, but he had avoided any severe injury.
After clearing several massive boulders, Liu Wuxie finally uncovered Yu Zhibai.
"Junior Brother, I knew you'd come," Yu Zhibai grinned, even in his battered state.
Liu Wuxie pulled Yu Zhibai from the rubble and gently laid him on a clean patch of ground. He sprinkled medicine on Yu Zhibai's wounds. With enough rest, he would recover in a few days.
A deep rumble suddenly echoed from a distance, and the battle above had moved underground. More cultivators surged in, each determined to seize the spiritual vein.
"Master, we can't stay here any longer. We need to return to the surface," Ruan Ying said, urging Liu Wuxie to leave, or they would be buried here.
"Okay!" Liu Wuxie nodded.
Jiang Nan carried Yu Zhibai and dashed toward the surface. They wove through obstacles and surfaced in less than five minutes.
By now, Luan Tianzhi and the others' eyes were bloodshot. They had failed to hold back the masses and rushed underground, where the tunnel had nearly collapsed.
