When he returned to his room, Tianhu took a big gulp of wine and then fell to the floor with a thud.
There were tears in the corners of his eyes, and his mind was in turmoil.
At this moment, he did not want to think about anything, he just lay on the floor and looked at the ceiling, as if he had lost consciousness.
Gradually the anger, resignation and bewilderment in his heart receded and another question emerged.
“Do I have to tell Lin Ran myself?”
Just now he had heard truly that Wang En and Qiu Mo had obviously joined forces, and had even made such a dirty deal in order to join forces against Lin Ran without washing.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t heard it, but now he had heard it and already knew what the two were planning, but he was still hesitant.
Like someone, especially one who can easily say break? Even if that person had hurt him or her deeply.
Up until this point, Tianhu had believed that it was all Lin Ran’s fault that Qiu Mo had become the way he was today!
“Aren’t you the least bit responsible for Qiu Mo being in the state he is in today?”
Tian Hu’s fists were clenched, he really couldn’t let go of Qiu Mo, if he told Lin Ran about this, then Qiu Mo would be completely …..
He didn’t care if Wang En lived or died, but what about Qiumo? He didn’t want to! He didn’t want to watch Qiumo get ruined as well.
In the end, he compromised, he decided not to tell Lin Ran about this matter, as if he had never seen it, and buried it deep into his heart.
……
The night was late, but in the pit, Lin Ran was still working on his body hardening project.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the rock wall in front of the pit and see that a pa*sage, only half a person high, has just been opened up. It stretched all the way in towards the sloping bottom.
There was only a distance of fifty metres left, a distance that was acceptable to Lin Ran.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of where you are.
Digging a tunnel and mining were two completely different concepts. Mining ore could only be done with special tools because the integrity of the ore and the safety of the entire vein had to be guaranteed.
However, tunneling was purely for the sake of hurrying, Lin Ran absorbed all the true qi within the ore in front of him directly along the way, and only after the ore lacked spiritual qi and turned into pieces directly, did he continue on his way.
The speed of the journey was naturally much faster, plus Lin Ran also released Li to help him absorb the spiritual qi from the ores, so the speed was naturally faster.
Although Li was a magical beast, it was very special, and absorbing the spiritual energy within these ores was also very beneficial to it. Although this fellow found it boring, he acted as a small worker for the sake of increasing his strength.
The two of them dug all the way to the last 50 metres, and in just one night they had already dug in more than 40 metres.
Seeing that they were almost at the location of the strange space, Lin Ran dared not slow down and immediately found a place to rest, while sending a ray of divine sense into the surrounding holes to check if the digging was off.
From time to time, he would position himself along the way so that he would not dig out of the way and alert the snake, but at this moment, he found that he had not dug out of the way once again, so he could not help but feel happy.
Even in that mysterious space, the countless lightning eels played without noticing, still attacking the huge rock ball non-stop.
After so many days of observation, Lin Ran also found a pattern, these lightning eels seemed to be very interested in the huge rock ball, and they would release all the beastly lightning in their bodies towards the rock ball.
Only after the lightning in their bodies had weakened would they enter the small hole to feed and return again when they had recovered.
It seemed that there was something inside this huge rock ball that they cared about very much.
Lin Ran watched for a while, and then began to adjust his state with all his might, and at the same time, he also put Li away, as he didn’t know if there would be any danger on this last journey, and he didn’t want to risk this little one along with him.
After only half an hour, Lin Ran opened his eyes from his meditation, and there was a bright light in his eyes at this moment, obviously he was fully prepared.
“Let’s begin!”
Lin Ran had a vague sense of anticipation in his eyes, after being busy for so long, whether or not he could make use of the beast thunder of these flashing eels depended on this last leg of the journey.
He quickly packed everything up before continuing on towards the ones ahead.
These last few metres were simply too easy for him,? After just a few minutes he already felt like he had dug in to a distance of fifty metres.
He stopped and looked up at the rock formation above him, if he was correct at this point he was exactly below the huge sphere within this mysterious space.
Without delay, Lin Ran began to carefully take down the ores above his head one by one, and then set them aside.
As expected, just a few moments later, a grey-black rock layer appeared behind the ore.
The texture of this rock layer was clearly different from the surrounding rocks, and it was clearly curved, much like one of the curved sides of a huge sphere.
“It really is here!”
Lin Ran’s heart was agitated as he busily pressed his palm against the rock only, and soon felt a faint electric current, obviously left by those lightning eels outside that were constantly attacking this huge orb.
Sitting on his knees, Lin Ran quickly calmed down his excitement, after nearly three months in this mine, he finally saw the hope of quenching his body with beast lightning.
The more excited he was, the more likely he was to go off the rails. After he had calmed down, Lin Ran slowly got up and pressed his palm against the rock layer again.
How to get inside the sphere was the biggest problem Lin Ran faced.
He had to find a way to get inside without letting the shining eels around him notice, and he also had to make sure that the huge sphere was not destroyed.
Although it seemed difficult, it wasn’t really that hard as long as he could find a way to break through this rock wall.
“The first order of business is to determine whether this sphere is hollow or solid!”
Lin Ran thought in his mind.
Indeed, if this huge sphere was a hollow one, then as long as he made an opening in it, he would be able to enter it unnoticed.
But if the huge sphere was solid, then he would have to find a way to pull out a space inside it.
Only Lin Ran felt that the possibility of the sphere being hollow inside was very high,? Because if it was solid, having dug himself here, a tunnel had already formed underneath, and this sphere was so huge that if it was solid it was afraid that its own weight would be so great that this tunnel would have been collapsed by it long ago.
These thoughts only flew around for a moment, followed by Lin Ran, he took out his dagger to break the tip, poured a strand of true qi into it, and then he gently stabbed it towards the rock wall.
“Bang!”
There was a crunching sound, and the dagger’s broken tip was only embedded in the rock wall by a small distance.
But Lin Ran was in no hurry, he was almost scraping the rock wall layer a little to be on the safe side, trying to make an opening in it.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour.
Finally, with Lin Ran’s persistent efforts, after two hours, he finally scraped a crack the size of a fingernail cap out of the rock wall layer.
Following this, Lin Ran felt that there were actually air currents swirling around him towards the rock layer.
“It’s really empty inside!”
Lin Ran was instantly surprised at the sight.
