Crack!
Like cracks appearing on glass, a series of winding cracks began to appear on this large, irregular, diamond-shaped ancient jade wall, centered on the impact of the iron pickaxe. Suddenly, a series of cracks appeared.
As time passed, a continuous cracking sound emanated from the ancient jade wall, and the entire massive jade wall became covered in a spiderweb of cracks.
Li Haomiao's face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly. The current situation was beyond his expectations.
Xu Yunfan had actually shattered the ancient jade wall with a single blow of the pickaxe.
Absolutely impossible!
If it weren't for his disabled legs, he would have jumped up immediately.
He reacted immediately, his face suddenly pale.
It seemed that the person in the ancient jade wall was trying to escape.
"Should we retreat?"
Li Haomiao turned around, only to find the area behind him empty. He looked up.
Xu Yunfan had already reached the corner of the mine, half lost in the shadows, on the verge of leaving.
Li Haomiao roared, "How disloyal of you! After all, I was the one who taught you martial arts, and yet you act so vilely!"
Xu Yunfan, having reached the cave entrance, paused, sighed, and retracted his steps. Even with his modern upbringing, he couldn't let go of the grudge.
He turned, dug his toes into the ground, and, gripping the ground, he shot towards Li Haomiao like an arrow. In a flash, he reached Li Haomiao, grabbed hold, and turned to leave.
The ancient jade wall shattered with a crash.
Xu Yunfan froze, cursing, "You've got me killed!"
Li Haomiao paid no attention to Xu Yunfan, his eyes fixed on the shattered ancient jade wall.
In the firelight, a graceful figure tumbled from the ancient jade wall.
Suddenly, an inexplicable, chilling wind slowly blew through the mine. The flickering torchlight made shadows dance like ghosts emerging from their cages.
"Where does the wind come from?"
Li Haomiao's face was pale, his voice trembling unnoticed.
The mine, hundreds of meters deep, had ducts in the main tunnel exchanging air and flowing into the branch tunnels. This branch tunnel couldn't possibly produce such a permeating wind.
After a long silence, the chilling wind dissipated.
Xu Yunfan's stiff body softened slightly. He speculated, "It must be the trembling caused by the shattering of the ancient jade wall." "
That's right, that's right!"
Li Haomiao came back to his senses, a hint of redness on his face, and his trembling lips subsided.
Xu Yunfan came to his senses and scooted closer to Li Haomiao, staring at the motionless, jade-like figure not far away. His heart, which had risen to his throat, slowly subsided.
He'd scared himself.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Li Haomiao's expression tightened slightly at Xu Yunfan's question.
"A man shouldn't speak of strange things. In such a situation, we shouldn't talk nonsense.
Of course, I don't believe it. The time and place aren't right, the stars haven't aligned, and the mystical powers of the world are all dead. There's no way ghosts could exist."
Xu Yunfan's lips twitched slightly, his chin tilted towards the figure.
"That person, should it be the immortal who, as you said, buried himself in the ancient jade wall?"
Li Haomiao pursed his lips. He naturally understood Xu Yunfan's intention, telling him to take the lead.
"I am a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am destined to be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If there were no unexpected changes, I would be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I would care about
the country and the people. How dare you let me do this?"
Xu Yunfan chuckled and said, "The emperor and the common people are of the same status. The people's hearts are the people's husbands.
Now you and I are both prisoners. Generally speaking, my survival value is greater. Your Highness Prince Yan, you can go with peace of mind. If there is a chance, I will talk to the empress and seek justice for you."
Li Haomiao could no longer hold back: "Brother Xu, I have a way. How about we go together?"
Xu Yunfan shook his head: "No, no, maybe this body is covered with all kinds of poisonous substances. Touching it will kill you. Who knows, some colorless and odorless poison is spreading...
Oh my God, I can feel that my breathing is a little difficult. No, I We have to leave here first."
Seeing Xu Yunfan was about to leave, Li Haomiao lost his patience and said, "I have a secret method that can train your muscles, bones and skin, and make them blend into one.
It will make you far superior to ordinary people. True blood is good, but if your foundation is not good, you will never be able to reach the pinnacle of martial arts."
Xu Yunfan stopped and said politely, "Prince Yan, you are going too far. Don't worry, how could I act so mean?
But since it is His Royal Highness Prince Yan's request, as a lowly citizen of the Great Zhou, I naturally dare not refuse. I will certainly overcome the difficulties and move forward courageously."
Li Haomiao sneered, "If all lowly people were like you, the Great Zhou would have fallen apart long ago."
Xu Yunfan didn't care about the ridicule and asked, "What exactly is true blood?"
Li Haomiao naturally knew that Xu Yunfan was a lowly person, and although he had true blood, it was normal for him not to know the situation. He frowned.
"I'll explain it to you later. Let's check on that person first."
Both men were cunning and tugged at each other, just to see if the graceful body that had fallen from the ancient jade wall would make any movement.
Xu Yunfan walked over to Li Haomiao and gently lifted him in front of him, politely saying, "Prince Yan, I'll help you get through."
To those who didn't know, they might have assumed Xu Yunfan was loyal and wanted to win honor for his master.
Li Haomiao: "..."
Holding a torch in one hand and Li Haomiao in the other, Xu Yunfan was surprised to discover that it was a woman who had fallen from the ancient jade wall.
Well, while he had been able to tell by the size before, seeing it up close was a completely different experience.
He looked slightly dazed.
This was an extremely beautiful woman, with black hair like silk, eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes tightly closed, thick eyelashes, a straight nose, and facial features exuding a somewhat cold aura.
Looking down, her body was exquisite, her skin was as white as cream, her neck was slender, and her shoulders and collarbone were connected.
Her arms were casually stretched out, but they just happened to cover her breasts, making them invisible.
Her waist was slender and could be held in one hand, and her hips and legs were beautifully curved.
After a long while, Xu Yunfan swallowed his saliva.
He swore that even if he had been influenced by the beauties on the Internet in short videos in his previous life, he would have been eclipsed by this woman.
Li Haomiao couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment in his eyes, but then he felt ashamed of himself and wanted to cover his face and retreat.
After a long time, Li Haomiao, who had suppressed his emotions, turned his head to look at Xu Yunfan, who was staring at the woman in a daze.
"Have you never seen such a beautiful woman?"
Xu Yunfan was rather absent-minded, his eyes unblinking.
"I was just wondering how she fell in such a good position, with her arms covering her private parts."
Li Haomiao: "..."
After a long moment, after making sure nothing was amiss, Xu Yunfan squatted down and carefully examined the woman who seemed to be soundly asleep.
If it weren't for the fact that her chest didn't rise and fall, he would have thought she was just asleep.
He turned to ask Li Haomiao.
"Can you tell anything?"
Li Haomiao's eyes were complicated and filled with shock.
