Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2149: Underground Yellow Mist

As the group was moving forward, Zhao Hai was calculating the time. He was thinking about how far they had gone, and the final result shocked him.

From the time they entered the cavern to the present, they had traveled for around four hours. Moreover, all of them were using movement techniques. Their speeds couldn’t be slow.

Even with such fast travel speeds, there was still no indication that they were arriving at their destination. Zhao Hai could count that if they walked in a straight line, they would have traveled about several thousand li.

It was also surprising that they hadn’t encountered any water. They had been traveling on land all this time.

It was obvious that they hadn’t reached the end. Zhao Hai has no idea how far they still have to go. It seems like the underground world was very far from the surface.

Zhao Hai was curious. He doesn’t understand why they didn’t use transmission formations. Instead, they used a tunnel to travel towards the underground world.

But Zhao Hai was also aware that it wasn’t the time to ask questions. He just kept these thoughts to himself as he followed everyone down.

After traveling for about ten hours, some Earth Monarch Cultivators could no longer go on. Just as they were about to be exhausted, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them. As soon as this light appeared, everyone’s spirits were shaken.

Even if their hearts were stone, after spending a long time in the darkness, people would still feel constrained. When the bright light appeared, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but feel refreshed. A positive feeling spread throughout their bodies. At the same time, the feeling of constraint in their hearts completely disappeared.

At the same time, Deng Wen told Zhao Hai and the others to prepare. It didn’t take long before Zhao Hai understood. There was an underground forest in front of them. The trees in the forest were all fossilized. Probably because of the absence of wind, the fossils remained intact. If it weren’t for the fact that the trees were stone gray, Zhao Hai and the others might have mistaken them as trees in the winter. The most update n0vels are published on NoᴠelFɪre.net

There were small insects flying around these gray trees. These insects were flashing with red light. The light that Zhao Hai and the others saw were coming from these insects.

As the group entered the forest, the insects remained in place, flashing red light among the trees. Then Long Xiang said, “Everyone, let’s rest here for a while. We’ll continue traveling in a moment.”

Everyone immediately scattered. Deng Wen led Zhao Hai and the others and found a place in the forest to sit down. Deng Wen looked at everyone and said, “There is an underground mountain range outside of this forest. The scale of this mountain range isn’t much different to the ones on the surface. The only difference is that these mountain ranges don’t have peaks. Some of the higher mountains directly connect to the top, but there aren’t a lot of such mountains. There’s a lot of space for activities, so you don’t have to be worried about being constrained.

Everyone nodded. Then Deng Wen continued, “We must be careful entering this underground mountain range. There are a lot of underground beasts in the mountain range. We need to go through the mountain range to evade detection of Ghost Cultivators. Don’t expect a huge battle within the next month. We have a target that’s very far away from here. We’ll be hidden until then.”

Seeing everyone nod, Deng Wen said, “We can use transmission formations when we go back. We don’t need to be hidden then. The underground world is very strange. If we used transmission formations to enter, the Ghost Cultivators would know. Because of this, we had to travel a long distance.”

Zhao Hai became enlightened. He immediately understood why they used the long cavern to reach the underground world. They were afraid of being discovered by the Ghost Cultivators.

Deng Wen also introduced the various elements in the underground world that everyone needed to pay attention to. In the underground world, one shouldn’t eat and drink randomly. Moreover, as for the underground world’s beasts, one shouldn’t underestimate them. Beasts in the underground world were different compared to the ones on the surface. Majority of the beasts in the underground world lived in groups. Provoking one beast would provoke the entire group.

Zhao Hai didn’t know much about the underground world. Meanwhile, Deng Wen has been to the underground world multiple times. He knew a lot more about the underground world than Zhao Hai and the others. Zhao Hai absorbed every word that came out of Deng Wen’s mouth. These few words might save his life.

After resting for an hour in the forest, everyone’s energy was restored. Long Xiang stood up and said, “Alright, everyone, prepare to depart. You need to pay attention. After we leave the forest, it’s possible that we’ll meet the underground world’s beasts.”

Everyone stood up and went behind their team leaders. Then the group proceeded to exit the forest. The fossilized forest wasn’t very big. In half an hour, Zhao Hai and the others left the forest. Once they were out of the forest, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. The scene in front of him was far from his expectations.

They were now standing in the middle of a mountain valley. The mountains around them had a faint yellow tint. There were also golden clouds on the tops of the mountains.

If such a scenery was placed on the surface, it might not be strange. But they were currently in the underground world. It was strange for such a scenery to appear here.

Before long, the crows saw several pillars on the mountains. These few pillars were more than ten meters thick. They couldn’t see the top of the pillars. They only knew that it was very high, they looked as if they were supporting the sky.

There were plenty of holes in the pillars. The holes looked honeycomb-like. Each hole was as large as a fist. Fire spurted out from the holes. Every time a flame appeared, it lit up the surrounding space.

While Zhao Hai and the others were staring at the pillars in a daze, Long Xiang’s voice was heard, “Everyone, don’t stare at the Earthfire Pillars. Although they aren’t too bright, staring at them for too long would damage your eyes. Also, no matter what, do not destroy the Earthfire Pillars. Remember this, make sure to remember this!”

Long Xiang’s words carried his domineering aura. His serious words caused the newcomers to stare.

At this moment, Deng Wen explained, “What you’re seeing is the yellow mist of the underground world. The Earthfire Pillars light them up, giving their color. We don’t want you to destroy Earthfire Pillars because the pillars can retaliate against the attackers.”

Deng Wen’s words shocked the listeners. They were looking at Deng Wen as if asking for more information. Deng Wen continued, “Don’t ask me why. Earthfire Pillars are the most mysterious things in the underground world. Even the Ghost Cultivators don’t have full understanding of them. In any case, ever since they moved to the underground world, Earthfire Pillars were present. Nobody knows the relationship between Earthfire Pillars and the surface sun.”

“Earthfire Pillars extinguish at the same time the sun on the surface sets. Moreover, it seems like Earthfire Pillars possess their own intelligence. If they were attacked, the pillars would immediately retaliate. Earthfire Pillars are formidable, they possess the Heavenly Fire called the True Sun Flame. Even Diamond Stage cultivators would be burned by this fire. Anyone who attacks an Earthfire Pillar would be targeted by every pillar in the underground world. Because of this, under any circumstance, don’t attack Earthfire Pillars.”

Everyone was in a daze. At the same time, they complied with a low voice. At this time, Long Xiang led everyone into the mountain range. Everyone was very cautious. They paid careful attention to their surroundings.

Because of this, the group’s speed wasn’t fast. In less than an hour after they entered the mountain range, the Earthfire Columns extinguished. The surroundings were immediately plunged into darkness. However, there were red bugs flying all around them. This provided ample lighting for everyone.

If there was no light, then even with Zhao Hai’s strength, it would be impossible for him to see. But with the existence of the bugs, this allowed Zhao Hai and the others to see the paths ahead.

After adapting to the low level of light, Long Xiang led everyone to proceed. This time, they became more careful and took out their weapons.

After another hour of travel, the squeak of a mouse was heard ahead. Hearing this, Long Xiang immediately said, “Everyone, stop!” The group quickly halted.

At this moment, Deng Wen said, “Don’t underestimate this squeak. In the underground world, only Groundfire Rats make this sound. This sound is a warning to us. We have entered their territory, they want us to leave immediately or else they would attack. Groundfire Rats are the most annoying beasts in the underground world. The offensive strength of these rats is very high. Their fire spells are terrifying. Their fires can devour an entire living being.”

“If there is only a small group of Groundfire Rats close by, then we’re lucky. Unfortunately, Groundfire Rats wouldn’t issue a warning unless they are confident in their numbers. So now that we heard the warning, there’s only one thing we can do, and that is to retreat immediately.”
