Chapter 174 Good Luck, No Way
Chapter 174 Good Luck, No Way
More than forty minutes passed quickly, and Huangfu Qi and Qin Long took turns exploring the corridor. As Ye Qingli said, Huangfu Qi and Qin Long had indeed advanced a greater distance than before.
In the past, they could only advance seventy or eighty feet at most, but now Huangfu Qi and Qin Long have advanced ninety feet. They are not far from the one hundred feet that they could only look at but could not reach in the past. This makes Huangfu Qi and Qin Long a little excited.
As long as they can keep improving like this, they will eventually pass through this corridor, and at this rate of progress, it won't take long to pass through this corridor. Even if the corridor behind becomes more dangerous, it will probably take a few years to pass through.
Huangfu Qi and his companions didn't care about just a few years. They all took more than a hundred years to cultivate to the peak of the Ascension Realm, and that was because they were all very talented. If it was a cultivator with average talent, without good soul refining methods, cultivation techniques, and precious resources, it would be normal for them to spend hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate to the peak of the Ascension Realm.
A few years seemed very short to Huangfu Qi and the others, but it seemed terribly long to Kong Fang. Kong Fang had been practicing for less than two years, so how could he waste a few years here?
Kong Fang planned to try to break into the corridor after the formation changed. As time was running out, it would be dangerous if the formation changed during the process.
Huangfu Qi and Qin Long had already reached the 90-zhang position. They wanted to try their best to break through the 100-zhang mark while they still had some time. However, various dangers in the corridor came one after another, and the attacks became more and more strange and unpredictable. In addition, the two were not in the best condition at the beginning. In the end, they could only stop at the 90-zhang position. They could not move forward any further.
"Senior Brother Huangfu. Time is running out. You should come back soon." Ye Qingli had been calculating the time. Seeing that half an hour was about to arrive, he hurriedly reminded Huangfu Qi and Qin Long.
Huangfu Qi and Qin Long were a little disappointed that they failed to break through to the 100-foot mark, but they did not continue to explore. They turned around and jumped out of the corridor along the safe place they had found before, returning to Kong Fang and the others.
His eyes swept over Kong Fang and the others, and finally glanced at Wan Xianglin who was healing with his eyes closed. Huangfu Qi smiled bitterly and said to Ye Qingli, "Junior Brother Wan was accidentally injured this time. And Junior Brother Qin's mind was greatly exhausted. After the formation is changed, Junior Sister Ye and I will explore together."
"Okay, Senior Brother." Ye Qingli smiled and nodded. This kind of thing has happened many times in the past two months, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
Lu Zhu looked at Kong Fang awkwardly. Among the five people, Lu Zhu had the lowest cultivation level and could not help much, so she could only watch from outside the corridor. Fortunately, there was another person, Kong Fang, who was at the bottom of the list, which made Lu Zhu feel a little relieved.
Kong Fang ignored Lu Zhu's sympathetic gaze and said to Huangfu Qi with a smile: "After the formation is changed, I will start exploring first. We are in the same predicament now. I can't let you take risks while I sit back and reap the benefits."
"You have healing herbs. We will definitely rely on your herbs to heal our wounds and stay alive in the future. You can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor." Huangfu Qi smiled and shook his head. He also knew that Kong Fang had given Wan Xianglin the Golden Orchid Herb to heal his wounds.
"I am the only one among everyone who is just reaping the benefits." Lu Zhu wrinkled his nose, looking embarrassed.
"Hahaha." Huangfu Qi couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ye Qingli and Qin Long also had a smile on their faces.
"I still want to try." Kong Fang's eyes fell on the corridor, and a strange excitement flashed in his eyes. Challenges bring passion and make life more exciting. Kong Fang found that he actually liked this challenging feeling in his bones.
Huangfu Qi frowned slightly, "You are only at the peak of the spiritual realm now, it will be very dangerous to break through this corridor. I know you are strong, but this corridor cannot be passed by strength alone. To break through this corridor requires extraordinary reaction and extremely fast speed, and some experience in dealing with various dangers. I don't recommend you to rush in next time."
Huangfu Qi shook his head. Kong Fang was carrying healing herbs on him. If Kong Fang encountered danger, those herbs might be destroyed, which would be very disadvantageous for them to break through this corridor in the future.
"I will be careful. If I find that I can't hold on, I will come back immediately. I am confident that I can keep my life within the first hundred feet." Kong Fang said confidently.
Huangfu Qi was speechless, even he did not dare to say that he could survive within the first 100 feet. However, seeing that Kong Fang had made up his mind, Huangfu Qi, Ye Qingli, Qin Long, and Lu Zhu were not optimistic about Kong Fang, but they could not persuade him anymore.
Huangfu Qi shook his head and sat aside with Qin Long to adjust their state so as to prepare for the next exploration.
Lu Zhu came to Kong Fang and said awkwardly, "I was just talking casually before. I didn't really ask you to take the risk of going through this corridor. Please don't go, okay?"
Kong Fang laughed dumbly, "I am going to go through this corridor. It has nothing to do with what you said. It is my own decision. Even if you didn't say anything, I would have gone for it."
"It really has nothing to do with me?" Lu Zhu widened her eyes and looked at Kong Fang expectantly.
"It really doesn't matter." Kong Fang replied helplessly.
"That's good." After hearing what Kong Fang said, Lu Zhu's expression relaxed immediately, and she walked towards Ye Qingli with a smile. Suddenly, Lu Zhu turned back and stuck out her tongue at Kong Fang, saying, "Then I wish you to advance a little further in advance, and that you can exceed fifty feet for the first time." She waved her little fist vigorously.
Kong Fang nodded with a smile, "I will definitely do that."
Lu Zhu and his team could only advance 50 zhang at the beginning, so they used 50 zhang as a standard. If Kong Fang could advance 50 zhang in the first time he entered this corridor, it would be a huge success in Lu Zhu's eyes.
After a while, the corridor was covered with a layer of green light again, and after a few breaths, the green light disappeared again. Everyone present knew that the safe place they had worked so hard to explore was useless again.
The armor on Kong Fang's shoulders turned into liquid, rolled up, and soon wrapped Kong Fang's head again. The silver guards completely protected Kong Fang.
Kong Fang came to the edge of the corridor. Seeing that Kong Fang really intended to break into the corridor, Huangfu Qi and Qin Long stopped practicing. They both stood up and walked over.
Ye Qingli also looked at Kong Fang with some surprise.
Lvzhu, who was standing behind Ye Qingli, made a face and waved his fist vigorously, as an encouragement to Kong Fang.
Kong Fang nodded to a few people, then jumped to a position he had previously taken a fancy to a few feet away.
Kong Fang landed gently on the ground. Just as he was about to avoid the danger that would come next, he suddenly froze.
Not only Kong Fang was stunned, but also Huangfu Qi, Qin Long, Ye Qingli and Lu Zhu who were outside the corridor were stunned.
Kong Fang landed, but there was no attack in the corridor.
"Is my luck so good?" Qin Long stared at the ground under Kong Fang's feet and the surroundings. There was no attack. It was obvious that Kong Fang was lucky to find a safe place at once.
Huangfu Qi and Ye Qingli's eyes flashed with surprise. They didn't expect Kong Fang's luck to be so good. He just found a safe place. As for Lu Zhu, her mouth was round and her eyes were round, like three circles placed together.
Kong Fang looked down at his feet in surprise, realizing for the first time that he actually had such good luck.
Now that we have found the first safe place, let's keep moving forward. Kong Fang scanned the corridor ahead, then chose a spot four feet away and jumped over again.
The corridor remained extremely quiet. No attacks occurred.
"The first time was lucky, and the second time was the same. This is unlikely, right?" Qin Long was a little unconvinced, "Could it be that there will be no more attacks in this corridor now?"
Qin Long said this and took a carefree step forward and stood in the corridor.
"Buzz", a shock wave suddenly appeared, and then hit Qin Long who was not prepared.
Qin Long spurted blood from his mouth and flew back. Huangfu Qi, who was outside the corridor, flashed and caught Qin Long, who was flying back, and then carefully placed him on the ground.
Kong Fang, who landed in the second safe place, looked back in surprise. He, who was exploring in the corridor, was not injured, so why was Qin Long outside the corridor injured?
Fortunately, the Silver Guards covered Kong Fang's entire body, preventing Qin Long from seeing Kong Fang's expression, otherwise Qin Long would definitely die of shame and anger.
"How could his luck be so good?" The injured Qin Long was worried about Kong Fang's luck.
Huangfu Qi and Ye Qingli looked at each other and both shook their heads helplessly.
After letting Qin Long heal his wounds quickly, Huangfu Qi returned to the corridor again and watched Kong Fang break through this dangerous corridor.
"Senior Sister, Kong Fang is really lucky. Do you think Kong Fang can pass through this corridor easily?" Lu Zhu asked with anticipation.
Ye Qingli smiled helplessly, "How is this possible? It's not easy to come across a safe place twice in a row. How can such good luck continue forever?" Suddenly, Ye Qingli changed the subject and said, "Of course, if Kong Fang's luck can always be so good, it will be a great thing for us. We can easily get through this dangerous corridor."
Kong Fang's luck ran out in the first two times, and he would be attacked every time he moved forward. The most important thing was that Kong Fang couldn't just keep dodging the attacks and rush forward. He had to find a safe place so that others could enter the corridor safely. Otherwise, it would be meaningless even if Kong Fang moved forward several hundred feet, because others couldn't get through.
Relying on the extremely fast speed of the Silver Guard, Kong Fang was like a butterfly flying through flowers, shuttling between various attacks. Soon Kong Fang had stepped on the small area around him. If he found a safe place, Kong Fang would stay for a while. If he could not find a safe place, Kong Fang would continue to move forward and then step on those unfamiliar places again.
Looking at Kong Fang's dazzling figure, Huangfu Qi, Ye Qingli and Lu Zhu were all extremely surprised. Even the injured Qin Long and Wan Xianglin forgot to heal their wounds and sat on the ground with their eyes wide open, watching Kong Fang moving forward in the corridor.
In just over ten minutes, Kong Fang had advanced a distance of fifty feet and found eight safe places.
"Kong Fang... is so powerful!" Lu Zhu muttered with a dazed expression.
