One reinforcement point a day

Chapter 8
After confirming that the mine was blocked by falling rocks, Zhou Tai immediately extinguished the oil lamp in his hand. In a closed environment, oxygen is limited, and the oil lamp also burns oxygen.

When working in the mine, oil lamps are a must. One is for lighting, and the other is that once the oil lamp goes out for no reason, you must evacuate immediately. People here only know how to do it, but they don’t know the reason. Zhou Tai knows the reason: oxygen Insufficient, fatal.

As soon as the lights went out, it was pitch black. Zhou Tai first thought of an earthquake, and then realized that this world was different, and it might be a big move by the masters of the world of cultivating immortals. He was just trapped in the depths of the mine and could not see the situation outside. .

Although the situation was very dangerous, Zhou Tai still adjusted his breathing slowly to calm himself down first.

Waiting for help?This option was first ruled out. Earthquakes are often accompanied by aftershocks. Let alone the fact that miners like themselves are worthless, how could anyone be willing to risk their lives to save others.

Moreover, there are many mines and tunnels here. I don’t know how many tunnels are blocked by landslides. Even if there is rescue, how long will it take to reach this remote tunnel of mine?The meat must be rotten, right?

Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, I can only find a way to save myself, if it is really ordinary, ordinary, it is really only waiting for the arrival of death.

But Zhou Tai is different, he has strengthening points, and the mining tools in his hand have long been replaced by tools that can be strengthened by strengthening points.

It was originally prepared for escape, but now, it has indeed become the hope of survival.

Thinking back to the trend of the mountain in my memory and the direction when I entered the mine, I tried to use my little geometric knowledge to construct a three-dimensional image of my environment in my mind.

The idea is good, but the brain is not a computer, and there are many directions that are uncertain. I don't have much confidence in the final conclusion.

The only thing that is certain is that the mine is not going underground, because there is no advanced method of removing groundwater, and the mine is constantly extending in the mountain.

Feeling like you might be in the middle of the mountain is the worst.In fact, digging back the original way should be the best hope of escape. After all, it is impossible for all the passages to collapse, but the mine is dark and winding, and there is no guarantee that the passages dug are correct.

There is a great possibility of digging off the track. Once the digging goes off track, it is really hopeless.Zhou Tai's tendency is to dig upward, after all, the height of the mountain is limited.

It is best to go up obliquely, and it is best to dig out from the middle of the mountain.

As for how to choose, it depends on your own mining tools.

There are two tools for mining, one is the pickaxe for digging, and the other is the shovel, both of which can be strengthened.

Without much hesitation, he groped with his hands and made sure that he was holding a shovel, and directly smashed down the 110 point enhancement point, strengthening it to level three.

If it's easy to use, just dig up the slope. If it's normal, try to dig back.

The strengthened shovel shoveled hard at the rock next to it, as if it had been inserted into the sand, completely entering behind the rock.

Zhou Tai immediately decided to dig up.

Faced with the hope of life, Zhou Tai tried his best to dig in the most efficient way, adjusted his physical strength, and after digging for a certain distance, he took a short rest, but he didn't dare to take too long. Without food and water, time is life.

While digging the escape channel, two small aftershocks occurred. Fortunately, the escape channel dug by Zhou Tai did not collapse.

……

I don't know how long it will take to dig in the dark, which is extremely challenging to people's perseverance and spirit. Zhou Tai knows that he must persevere and not give up.

He thought about the stories he saw in his previous life: encountering a blizzard, getting lost in the wild, when the ice and snow melted at the beginning of spring, and the corpse was only a few meters away from the camp, he didn’t want to be a character in such a story, so he kept insisting.

Later, in order not to be affected by my mentality, I was thinking about things in my mind while digging a way out.

What I think is, why did I fall into this field?

After thinking about it for a long time, I concluded that it should be my own weakness. Weakness is the original sin. If I am strong, how can I mine here.

They were all mortals in the previous life, and they still fought against each other, not to mention this world of cultivating immortals. If they can survive, they must work hard to become stronger, and they will no longer be easily controlled by their own destiny.

In this state of being on the verge of death, Zhou Tai unexpectedly strengthened his desire to seek immortality and become stronger.

……

I forgot how many times it was the temporary rest, and I was so tired that my whole body trembled slightly. At this moment, Zhou Tai thanked the strengthening point for the strength brought to his body. How much sweat, if you continue to sweat, the lack of water may be the number one threat you will face.

"It would be great if the tool gave a little more force, but unfortunately there are not enough points. Even if it has not been strengthened on the nail, it is not enough for the shovel's fourth [-] strengthening points."

Zhou Tai has basically confirmed that the fourth enhancement needs [-] enhancement points, because in the face of life and death at this moment, he added the enhancement points accumulated in the past two years to the shovel again, thinking that it would be good to be a little stronger, The time to dig out the way out will be faster if you are stronger.

At a certain moment, Zhou Tai suddenly thought, it would be great if the reinforcement point could be withdrawn.

Unexpectedly, this idea just came up, and a system prompt appeared in front of him: "Are you sure to withdraw the added reinforcement points?"

This phenomenon made Zhou Tai feel a lot of emotion, but he didn't have time to think too much. He immediately canceled the enhancement points that had been added to his body, and planned to upgrade the shovel to a lower level.

However, as soon as some of the strengthening points added to his body were revoked, Zhou Tai's expression changed, and he quickly added the strengthening points back to his body.

As soon as the reinforcement points were withdrawn from the body, a feeling of suffocation spread from the lungs. Zhou Tai was so frightened that he immediately added back the points to his body, and the lungs returned to normal.

At this moment, Zhou Tai realized that the oxygen in the tunnel was almost exhausted long ago, and his body full of strengthening points was so strong that he could perform innate internal breathing when the oxygen was insufficient.

In order to prove the conjecture, Zhou Tai lit the oil lamp with a torch. After the oil lamp was lit, it went out quickly.

As the cave fell into darkness again, Zhou Tai also confirmed his conjecture.

Silently took out the nail that had been strengthened three times, withdrew the strengthening points added to it, and put the nail on the body again. At this moment, every object that can strengthen the point is precious.

Although the enhancement points are still not enough, the most reassuring thing is to have the points on the body, and it is also a hidden danger to carry the enhanced items on the body, so it is much better.

How could it be withdrawn?This point-adding system suddenly became too powerful.Since he didn't need to care about the oxygen content, Zhou Tai took a rest for a while.

Although the shovel could not be strengthened for the fourth time, Zhou Tai was not disappointed at all. On the contrary, his confidence in cultivating immortality was unprecedented. Every day passed, he gained one more strengthening point. After 300 years of cultivating immortality, he had [-] strengthening points in hand.

Although he didn't know anything about the world of cultivating immortals here, it really didn't affect his confidence.

In the past, the bright future was far away, but now the bright future is beckoning, how can you die here silently?
Thinking of this, Zhou Tai started digging again.

Finally, after going through countless times of rest and suffering, as soon as the strengthening shovel went down, a feeling of penetrating and hollowing out came. Zhou Tai quickly expanded the hole with all his strength, and then drilled out from the hole he dug.

The surrounding area was still pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Zhou Tai carefully tried to light up the oil lamp. When the oil lamp was on, it did not go out immediately. Zhou Tai heaved a sigh of relief. If there was oxygen, it meant there was an exit. Then he began to observe the surrounding area, and soon It was found that it was a stone chamber.

After Zhou Tai discovered that this was a stone chamber, he calmed down first. He felt fortunately that he was quite courageous and calm.

Digging a hole along the way, and then entering the stone room, there is a feeling of tomb robbery.

Soon Zhou Tai thought of another possibility, could this be the cave of Senior Cultivator?This is still very possible. In the mountains, how hard would it be to find such a secret stone chamber if it wasn't for me by mistake?

Thinking of this, the little fear in my heart disappeared instantly, and my heart was full of fire.

Worried that there was some formation prohibiting it, Zhou Tai first threw stones around. After seeing no response, he began to search slowly. Seeing a thick layer of dust on the ground, he thought that even if there was a formation, it would be possible. It has been invalid for a long time.

Thinking about it this way, he searched more carefully, not sparing an inch of the ground, for fear that any hidden secret room would be missed.

After a careful search, it was confirmed that there were three stone chambers, but there was nothing in the other two stone chambers except that there was a bed, a table, and a book on the table in one stone chamber.

Moreover, Zhou Tai discovered that the passage outside the stone chamber was sealed. It is not known whether the owner of the stone chamber sealed the entrance or the earthquake blocked the exit.

Zhou Tai was not at all satisfied with the harvest of only one book, and searched in detail again, but he still didn't receive anything, and he was short of digging three feet.

With the mentality that harvesting a book is also harvesting, maybe it is a secret book of cultivating immortals, Zhou Tai found the exit direction of the stone chamber, and quickly cleared a safe passage with a strengthened shovel.

When he left the stone chamber and breathed the fresh air outside again, Zhou Tai had a feeling of being reborn.

It was night at this moment, Zhou Tai observed carefully, and found that he was no longer in the mine, but dug out from another direction on the top of the mountain.

This is an escape from Ascension!By the time the mine resumed the punishment system due to the earthquake, he had already gone far away.

This is the safest way to leave. Even if the mine finds that he is not there, he just thinks that he is trapped somewhere in the mine waiting to die.

In the end, most of the people who died in the mine due to the earthquake turned into dead bones when they were discovered. Who can tell who is who?
Think clearly about these reasons, all within a short period of time, and then leave here immediately.This is escaped and ascended to heaven. If he is caught again, it is really just a matter of luck.
