Chapter 444: Space Distortion ( 2 )
Noticing Mo Junjie's movement, Li Qixuan raised his eyebrows and placed his palm above a mineral stone. When he tried to store it in his spatial ring, nothing happened. After trying several times, he finally gave up.
When the break was over, the members started digging a tunnel. Unlike the narrow, winding tunnel they had used before, the one they dug this time was more like a chimney, going straight up.
As Zhang Yuan dug, the Wen brothers created a metal wall to hold the ceiling from collapsing. Then Feng Yun, Xiao Qi, and Pei Yixie collected the soil into their spaces.
It took them a total of eleven hours before they finally saw a ray of sunlight illuminating the dark tunnel.
Wiping the sweat from their foreheads, the members took a deep breath. This time, they didn't create a ladder.
Standing under the opening, Zhou Huajian raised his hand, and in the next moment, two thick vines shot upward from his palms. A few seconds later, he grabbed the vines, and they retracted at high speed, pulling him up.
One minute later, he was already standing on the open field outside and shouted, "Everyone, I will use my vines to pull you up."
Hearing this, Xiao Qi replied, "Okay!"
With Zhou Huajian pulling them up, in less than twenty minutes, the Phantom Team members were already outside, leaving only Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi below.
Before leaving, Jin Xuyan looked at his fiancée and said, "Ah Zhi, be careful."
"I know. Brother Yan, don't worry," Jiao Lizhi nodded with a smile.
After Jin Xuyan left the cave, Zhou Huajian said, "Sister-in-law, hold onto the vines. I will pull you up as soon as you have stored the minerals."
"Okay."
Holding onto the vines, Jiao Lizhi raised her hands, and with a wave, the rocks in the massive cave disappeared instantly.
She thought the minerals were only those in the cave, but unexpectedly, as she opened her space, the minerals buried beneath the cave were also sucked into it.
Feeling that she was losing control, Jiao Lizhi gritted her teeth and used her mental power to regain control over her space.
In two minutes, all the minerals disappeared. A huge hole appeared under her feet with a loud rumble as the largest mineral was taken into her space.
Standing on the open field above, everyone felt the ground shake and looked at the pit.
"Pull her up!" Jin Xuyan shouted with a hint of panic in his voice.
The moment he heard this, Zhou Huajian pulled his vines back as the ground started to collapse.
"Everyone, move back!"
Following Zhang Yuan's words, the members quickly retreated. As he was pulling Jiao Lizhi out of the pit, Zhou Huajian leaped into the air. Due to the unstable ground, he was only able to jump slightly.
When both he and Jiao Lizhi started to fall into the massive hole, Qin Luzi grabbed his hand and flew toward the safe area. Only after the three of them stood on solid ground did Jiao Lizhi dare to relax her mind and succumb to the darkness.
Seeing his fiancée suddenly lose consciousness, Jin Xuyan rushed over and caught her before she hit the ground. "Ah Zhi!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw her suddenly faint. Ignoring his members, Jin Xuyan carried his fiancée and rushed toward the compound.
When he arrived at the nearest house, he kicked open the door and went into the bedroom. Pulling away the dusty bedcover, he placed his fiancée down and used his energy to check her condition.
Five minutes later, he noticed that the energy in her body was draining at a frightening speed. Recalling the zombies' corpses stored by his members, he carried her out again.
When he saw Feng Yun, he said, "Feng Yun, take out all of the zombies' corpses you stored."
Hearing this, Feng Yun nodded, and with a wave of his hand, countless metal boxes appeared on the empty field. Without wasting time, Jin Xuyan raised his hand and burned the metal boxes with his black flame.
In less than a minute, the metal melted and the black flame engulfed the zombies' corpses. While he was burning the corpses, he transferred his energy into his fiancée.
After the zombies' corpses turned into ashes, he absorbed the black flame back into his body. As the cold energy circled his body and turned into warm energy, he continued transferring his energy without stopping.
When the members saw this, they were stunned. Even though they didn't know what their Captain was doing, they knew that he might need a lot of zombies' corpses to save their Sister-in-law.
Reaching this conclusion, Qin Luzi said, "There is a large group of zombies in the town not far from here. Let's go there."
After he said this, he leaped from the ground and flew off. Seeing this, Feng Yun took out several cars, and the members followed after him, leaving only Yin Yusheng behind to guard Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi.
Meanwhile, Jiao Lizhi's consciousness was trapped inside her space. Floating outside the space, she looked at it with a deep frown.
At this moment, her space looked familiar yet unfamiliar. It was familiar because the mutant animals, mutant plants, and the crops were the ones she had collected and planted before.
But it was unfamiliar because she could see that her space was actually a spatial device. It was just that this device was massive; the size of the space could rival the moon.
Having a clear vision of the entire space, Jiao Lizhi realized that she had only unlocked less than five percent of its actual size.
While she floated around the space, she saw a small black mound appear on the grassland. As she went closer, she finally realized that the mound was actually the minerals she had just taken away.
Rubbing her chin, she muttered to herself in disbelief, "Is my space even able to plant crystals?"
