92 Finally Escaped
“Ding… you have been suffocated to death. Physique 1!”
“You have absorbed power from death and obtained 1 Freedom Attribute Points!”
“You will be resurrected in three seconds!”
“No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!”
After Song Shi was resurrected, his expression did not look good.
From the low rewards it showed that suffocation was a very low-value death.
But what choice did he have?
Now that he was still buried alive, he was still severely lacking in oxygen due to being underground.
He subconsciously took deep breaths like a fish out of water. He looked a little depressed, “I haven’t reached the Foundation Establishnt realm and can’t attain the Embryonic Breathing technique. Do I have to suffocate to death to get out?
“Wait, since I can abstain from breathing in the Foundation Establishnt realm, can’t I just cultivate?”
Song Shi opened the system and found the Connate Pure Yang Art that he had never cultivated before. After extracting it, a piece of cultivation technique information surged into his mind.
This was a cultivation technique that could perfect the Foundation Establishnt realm. It was divided into 18 levels. The first 13 levels corresponded to the limit of Qi Refinent. The middle four levels corresponded to the four small levels of the Foundation Establishnt realm. The last level was the thod to condense the Golden Core.
He hurriedly studied the description of the Embryonic Breathing technique in the Foundation Establishnt realm. After reading it, his face twitched. “It actually involves changing the way life moves and returning to the breathing state of the fetus…”
Song Shi suddenly felt that he was not cultivating immortality, but studying the mysteries of life. Furthermore, he was using himself as a research subject.
How f*cking risky was this? If he was not careful, he might end his own life.
For example, after knowing the specific situation of this Embryonic Breathing technique, he was certain that it was about the state of a person in their mother’s body.
When humans were not born, the Embryonic Breathing technique was innate. However, after they were born, they would start to absorb the air in the world.
Now that he had been used to breathing for more than ten years without a mother, it seed way too difficult for him to suddenly return to that state.
This was no longer a matter of Comprehension. It involved many complicated things, such as the science of life.
“Cultivation is so difficult!”
Song Shi finally understood one of the reasons why people like Elder Dou did not manage to reach the Foundation Establishnt realm when their lifespan was about to run out.
This realm was really difficult to break through. It involved the transformation of life and had indeed transcended the abilities of mortals.
With this Embryonic Breathing technique, other than the fetus, who else could do it?
Even the fetus had to rely on its mother, but cultivators had to rely on themselves to reconstruct the life cycle!
Song Shi’s expression changed. He estimated that even if he relied on his Comprehension to figure it out, it would take more than a day or two.
During this period of ti, he had been suffocated to death countless tis.
Moreover, with this ti, he probably could dig himself out.
“Let’s just dig a hole!”
Song Shi smiled bitterly and endured the discomfort of the lack of oxygen. He raised his hand and circulated all his strength to dig.
Kacha kacha!
His fingers were like diamonds as he nimbly dug through the stone and soil in front of him. He was like a human-shaped pangolin as he advanced at a moderate speed.
At the sa ti, he calculated how long he could hold his breath.
One minute, two minutes… ten minutes, twenty minutes!
At 30 minutes, Song Shi’s movents beca slower and slower.
In reality, if he stayed still, he would be able to hold it in for a longer ti. Now that he was circulating his energy to dig a hole, he could not hold his breath for long and would soon suffocate to death.
After resurrecting, he continued to move.
As he was deep underground, Song Shi’s thoughts were isolated by the soil. He did not know the exact location at all. He could only randomly find a direction and dig upwards, relying on his luck.
After suffocating again, Song Shi frowned. “Why haven’t I gotten out yet? Is my direction wrong?”
He tried to release his Divine sense, but he could only pass through a foot of soil. He could not go any further.
“The cave is in a rather steep valley. The explosion probably buried for more than a hundred ters. I can dig ten ters each ti I suffocate to death. I hope I can get out after suffocating six more tis.”
After so estimation, Song Shi continued to move.
“I’m a pangolin. I love to dig tunnels.”
Song Shi muttered to himself in boredom. He then realized that he had mastered his claw techniques without a teacher as he continued digging endlessly.
After digging up another ten ters, he suddenly encountered a huge rock barrier. After hitting it a few tis, he did not manage to penetrate it.
“It can’t be. Did he encounter an extrely large rock? Or did he dig into the mountain?”
Song Shi’s face darkened. He tried to dig a few more tis, but the rock did not crumble. It was too sturdy. Although he could still dig, he could only change directions to dig around it.
A full day later, in the valley that had been razed to the ground, there was a loud bang. A place suddenly exploded, and a hand reached out.
Then, a dusty head appeared and took a deep breath.
“I’m finally out!”
Song Shi looked at the sky that he had not seen for a long ti. He had never felt that breathing could be so beautiful.
He exerted a little force and crawled out of the ground. He compared his surroundings according to the direction of the passageway and found many large rocks. He was speechless.
“Damn it, I’ve dug eight big rocks underground. No wonder I couldn’t co out.”
He crushed the stone in his hand into powder and gritted his teeth. “The guy who blew up, you have successfully provoked my killing intent. If I don’t kill you, my surna isn’t Song!”
Cursing, he took out the Invisibility Talisman and stuck it on his body before leaving quickly.
...
This ti, he had learned his lesson. He should rely on the power of the Invisibility Talisman to leave safely.
He didn’t want to waste any ti in this godforsaken place.
After leaving the collapsed valley and arriving at a high point, he discovered that the mountain range was in a ss.
Many primitive forests had been destroyed by the battle. So were burned, so were shattered by powerful attacks and so were flattened by the aftershocks. From ti to ti, huge pits and various corpses could be seen scattered.
“The fight was quite intense, but it has nothing to do with anymore!”
Song Shi retracted his gaze and turned around to see a team of silver-armored soldiers chasing after a few n in black.
After walking for a while, he encountered a team of people from the Demon Slayers Division rushing past.
He did not say a word and maintained his invisibility. He managed to not encounter any danger along the way and successfully left the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range.
After more than a hundred miles, the Invisibility Talisman turned into ashes with a puff.
“This was so good stuff, even though there’s only one. I wonder if I can get sothing similar. If I can’t, I don’t mind buying one or two spares.”
Song Shi heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did he notice that his clothes were tattered. He wanted to change his clothes, but he realized that the spare clothes were gone.
...
He could only buy a new set from the villages and towns along the way.
After advancing for more than ten miles, he encountered a village. When he walked over, he was stunned to see many people similar to him on the country road.
Everyone was dressed in ragged clothes, but these people were sallow and thin, as if they had been malnourished for a long ti. So of them could not even walk despite their walking sticks.
“A refugee…”
Song Shi recognized the identities of these people. Recently, war had been raging in Jinzhou, and the citizens there had been displaced. They could not survive there, so they naturally went to relatively safe places like Silken City.
Unfortunately, Silken City was in chaos now as well, these people would probably be very disappointed.
While Song Shi was deep in thought, an old man suddenly collapsed and passed away.
The surrounding people looked over and their eyes emitted a green light as they approached the body step by step.
“There’s food!”
Soone muttered sothing that made Song Shi frown. His gaze landed on a skeleton by the side of the road. There were faint teeth marks on it.
