Chapter Thirty-One: The Magical Fighting Technique

  The wooden box emits a faint glow under the sunset, and the pattern on it also looks vivid, but some gray-green colors make the pattern not very beautiful.

  Let's take a look at the wooden box, and from its appearance, there is nothing special about it.

  Xie Ao Yu reached out and grabbed the stone lock that locked the wooden box.

  The aura flowed, releasing a faint glow. Xie Ao Yu squeezed with force, in his impression, even the thickest iron block could be pinched off, but this lock was intact and undamaged.

  "It's so hard." Xie Ao Yu muttered, reaching out to knock on the wooden box.

  "Bang! Bang!"

  The wooden box showed no signs of damage under his aura blast.

  This only piqued Xie Ao Yu's interest even more, he tried several times but to no avail, so he simply took out the Lei Ling Sacred Knife, as a sacred object, the Lei Ling Sacred Knife was absolutely sharp beyond compare.

  Splash!

  Lei Ling's sacred sword slashed down on the stone seal.

  "Right!"

  In the midst of the reverberating sound, the Lei Ling Sacred Knife was bounced back up.

  On the stone lock, there is only a very slight gap.

  Xie Ao Yu was shocked and then input all his Dou Qi, stood up, swung the Lei Ling Sheng Dao with great force, striking the Stone Lock ten several times.

  The stone lock shattered and fell to the ground after withstanding eighteen sword strikes.

  "What's being protected by such a stone lock should be something good, right?" Xie Ao Yu muttered to himself as he reached out to lift the wooden box. His fingers touched the box and then hesitated before withdrawing them, instead using the tip of his Lei Ling Sacred Knife to pry open the lid.

  "Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."

  The wooden box had just been opened, and a row of short arrows burst out.

  The place where the short arrow hit turned into a grayish-green color, and all kinds of weeds were corroded away, even the ground was corroded, and it actually contained highly toxic substances.

  Looking at the highly toxic substance, Xie Ao Yu thought of the demonic beast.

  It seems that this poison and the poisonous fog of the demon beast are similar, could it be that the demon beast mutated to have the ability to produce poisonous fog due to this wooden box? Xie Ao Yu shook his head, such questions were completely unimportant to him, he didn't even bother to care.

  Only after making sure there were no hidden mechanisms did Xie Ao Yu look inside the wooden box.

  The space inside was not large, and a scroll was quietly placed. Xie Ao Yu used the Lei Ling Sacred Knife to lift the scroll, seeing that there was no problem, only then did he stretch out his hand to grab the scroll.

  Open the scroll.

  All that entered his eyes were words, Xie Ao Yu's gaze fell on the front, where there was a line of small words: Earth attribute body method fighting skills... Earth escape technique!

  "What's 'Tuchen'?!" Xie Ao Yu exclaimed in surprise.

  He had never heard of this stance name before.

  Since it's an earth attribute, that's the attribute that suits him. Xie Ao Yu belongs to the three major attributes of earth, thunder and wood as one. He held the scroll and sat on the ground, concentrating seriously.

  It doesn't matter if you don't read it, but as soon as you take a look, your eyes will light up.

  "It's actually a magical fighting technique that can be used underground!" Xie Ao Yu said with wide eyes, somewhat disbelieving.

  Earth Concealment Technique, advancing can attack, hiding one's body shape, suddenly rising to harm people, is absolutely the best choice for a sneak attack; retreating can escape, entering the ground to move stealthily, who can stop it?

  Xie Ao Yu burst out laughing and said: "This is simply a priceless treasure!"

  Having mastered this technique, Xie Ao Yu couldn't even imagine what kind of benefits it would bring him.

  He continued to read on and found out that this technique was invented by a genius with the earth attribute hundreds of years ago based on the characteristics of the Drilling Mouse, a magical beast that can move underground. However, before he could even use it on others, he was assassinated and hid the scroll away before his death. It can be said that this Earth Concealment Technique had never been revealed to the world, and Xie Ao Yu would be the first person to use this technique, which is also an advantage!

  Who can guard against it if no one knows about the earth escape technique?

  Who would have thought that people could walk underground?

  After finishing the scroll, Xie Ao Yu let out a long breath, calming down his turbulent emotions. According to the records above, in order to cultivate the Earth Escape Technique, two auxiliary things are needed: one is Dihuangcao and the other is that the cultivator must have an earth attribute.

  These two things Xie Ao Yu also possesses.

  That Dihuang grass isn't anything special, it can be found everywhere in the Transverse Mountains, he had collected some on his way here, and aside from those absorbed by Yao Shenjing, there were still a few left.

  Xie Ao Yu first cultivated the Dou Qi for a while, recovering to his peak state. By this time, it was already midnight, and he began to cultivate the Earth Escape Technique.

  According to the scroll, the cultivation of Earth Concealment Technique requires the cultivator to be infinitely close to the earth. This closeness requires the consumption of Ge Xin Cao and a strong earth attribute on the part of the individual. When these two are combined, they can cause a person's breath to be infinitely close to the earth, thereby merging with the earth as one.

  Then he buried his entire body underground.

  Xie Ao Yu first dug a hole in the ground, then took out the Dihuangcao, tore off a leaf and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as he did, Xie Ao Yu let out an "ah" and almost spat it out.

  This Gentiana scabra is several times more bitter than Coptis chinensis!

  One hand clutched his thigh tightly, using the piercing pain to resist the unbearable and unimaginable torment of the Dihuang grass. Xie Ao Yu even suspected that he might become the first person in history to be tortured to death by the Dihuang grass.

  Until the moon was high in the sky, Xie Ao Yu finally managed to swallow the Geodrakon.

  Then he lay in the pit and let Xiaobai bury himself.

  Xiao Bai's movements were getting faster.

  Xie Ao Yu felt uncomfortable as soon as he was buried, and he needed to use his inner energy to resist the pressure. At the same time, according to the method of cultivating Earth Escape Technique, he focused his mind on feeling the earth and merging with it.

  Time passed by one minute and one second.

  One day, two days, three days...

  Ever since he started practicing Earth Escape Technique, Xie Ao Yu spent most of his days lying underground, communicating with the earth and sensing it with his body.

  The efficacy of Dichondra repens is gradually emerging.

  Originally, Xie Ao Yu only felt dullness, but on the fifth day, he finally felt that the bitter and hateful Dihuangcao had a faint yellow glow surrounding his body, covering all parts of it. As the Dihuangcao glow formed, Xie Ao Yu felt as if he had established a mysterious connection between his body and the earth.

  This feeling was initially very faint.

  With the passage of time, Xie Ao Yu devoted himself wholeheartedly to contemplation.

  A strange, unprecedented feeling gradually emerged, thick, vast, and desolate, as if the eternal breath that had existed since ancient times, like the powers wrapped in the earth, all gathered on his body, feeling extremely strong.

  Xie Ao's heart was filled with joy, this is exactly what the Earth Escape Technique described, a manifestation of communicating with the earth.

  He immediately meditated on the scroll's recorded method that could release his self and harmonize with the earth, operating all his fighting energy to contact, exchange, perceive and blend with the earth.

  From then on, Xie Ao Yu never left the underground.

  He seems to be unaware of his hunger.

  Just lying there.

  Until the ninth day.

  Xie Ao Yu seemed to have truly merged with the earth, becoming one with this small valley. His eyes gleamed with a hint of sharpness, and as his mind stirred, a faint yellowish-brown glow emanated from his body, blending seamlessly with the color of the ground. Then, his figure vanished into thin air.

  He immediately appeared beside a small stream three meters away.

  "Haha, I did it!" Xie Ao Yu finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and burst out laughing loudly. He executed the Earth Escape Technique's combat method and took a step forward.

  His body soared two meters high, and after landing, his feet touched the ground, immediately becoming one with the earth as if it were his home. With one foot on the ground, the earth seemed to turn into water, allowing him to merge into it at will.

  The whole person melted into the ground.

  He wanted to test it out, with his current abilities, how far the Earth Escape Technique could be used, and in a flash of thought, he was like an arrow shooting through the ground unimpeded.

  Splash!

  It was just a fleeting feeling.

  Soon afterwards, Xie Ao Yu suddenly felt exhausted and had no choice but to emerge from underground. He turned his head back to look at the distance, and was shocked to find that it was already ten meters away.

  Although it's a bit different from what Xie Ao Yu had in mind, it's still pretty good. After all, the foundation of Earth Escape Technique is Dou Qi, and his current strength is limited.

  "Haha......"

  Xie Ao Yu laughed loudly and dove back into the ground once again.

  It appeared when it had already reached ten meters on the left side.

  In an instant, he emerged from the ground at various places in this small valley, effortlessly and unhindered, even the boulders underground could not block his passage.

  "Boom!"

  Just as he was rejoicing, Xie Ao Yu accidentally used Earth Escape and ended up crashing into the water. He emerged from the creek, drenched from head to toe, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I guess Earth Escape can't escape water."
