Chapter 150 Emerging from the tunnel, the disheveled group
No sunlight shines into the tunnel year-round, so Zhao Manyan and Song Xia need to light up a lamp every so often to provide illumination and dispel the foul air in the cave.
"What's going on up ahead?" Ai Tutu, who was following Mu Nujiao, asked Jiang Han, who was clearing the way.
"It's nothing, just some scattered white pebbles," Zhao Manyan said casually, walking behind Jiang Han.
"Those aren't pebbles, they're bone fragments. Prepare for battle!!" Jiang Han said calmly.
"That's clearly gravel left over from previous construction projects, not bone fragments. I really don't know what your teachers at Pearl Academy were thinking, making you the team leader for a field training exercise," Liao Mingxuan said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Meow!!" A loud cry echoed throughout the tunnel.
Immediately afterwards, several cave demon slaves wielding huge bone clubs emerged from the cracks in the tunnel, their eerie blue eyes staring at Zhao Manyan and the others closest to them as if they wanted to devour them alive.
Following behind Jiang Han, Zhao Manyan saw the enormous cave demon slave and said in a trembling voice, "Jiang...Jiang Han, it seems we've entered the cave demon slave's lair. Are we going to become their dinner?"
"No, Ice Vines - Cover!!!"
As Jiang Han finished speaking, ice began to cover the ground beneath everyone's feet, and the temperature inside the tunnel plummeted rapidly, dropping below zero in just a few breaths. This caused the girls in school uniforms to shiver with cold. The cave demon slaves wielding enormous bone clubs that had been blocking Jiang Han's path were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
*Snap!* Jiang Han snapped his fingers, and several cave demon slaves turned into ice shards that floated in the air.
"Is this your domain?" Mu Ningxue asked tentatively.
Jiang Han nodded and said, "The name of the domain is Absolute Zero. Within the domain, I can control the temperature at will, just like this."
As Jiang Han spoke, he adjusted the temperature around the others to a suitable level, while the overall temperature inside the tunnel remained below zero. Any cave demon slaves that crawled out of the tunnel cracks and rushed towards Jiang Han and the others would be frozen into ice sculptures. Even cave demon slaves at the warrior level would be frozen into ice sculptures after only a few steps.
Jiang Han is currently unable to completely envelop the entire tunnel in an absolute zero field. The field can only cover a radius of 100 meters at most, which is just enough to cover all the students of Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy.
"This was a vicious cave demon slave, and he just took care of it like that." Qingqing stared blankly at Jiang Han walking ahead.
"Eee!"
A piercing scream echoed through the tunnel once more, a chorus of cries responding to the charging warrior-level cave demon slave. Because it hadn't directly entered Jiang Han's Absolute Domain, it hadn't been frozen solid. Pairs of eerie blue lights appeared in the cracks of the tunnel walls, their dense clusters sending chills down one's spine.
"Oh no! It's calling for its companions!!" Peng Liang exclaimed from behind Lu Zhenghe.
As Peng Liang exclaimed in surprise, Song Xia and Zhao Manyan hurriedly cast a Radiant spell into the tunnel ahead.
The light that flew forward illuminated a long section of the tunnel ahead. The illuminated tunnel came into everyone's view, causing them to gasp in shock. The tunnel walls were covered with black vines, but behind the black vines were rows of caves. As the sharp cry rang out earlier, cave demons tore through the black vines covering the caves and rushed out.
"Thunderbolt Yaksha!!" Grayish-purple lightning shot out from Jiang Han's hand, instantly annihilating the demons blocking their way.
After a burst of lightning blasted away the cave demon slaves blocking the way, Jiang Han shouted, "The cave demon slaves blocking the way have been cleared. Everyone, get out of here immediately!"
Although Jiang Han could easily kill a large number of these slave-level cave demon slaves with a single blow, the reproduction rate of these slave-level demons was too fast. No one knew how many cave demon slaves were in the entire tunnel. If he continued to fight, his system points would increase significantly, but he also had a very small chance of being worn down to death.
No one was stupid. After Jiang Han gave the order, they all followed him and rushed forward. The two-kilometer-long tunnel was littered with rotting demon corpses or bone fragments. The Swift Star Wolf, which was clearing the way for Jiang Han, was almost frantic. It wasn't out of fear, but mainly because before it could even swing its claws, the cave demon slaves blocking its path were blasted into dust by Jiang Han's thunderbolts.
"Ah!" Just as everyone rushed forward, a gasp came from behind them.
Jiang Han turned his head and saw that it was Ai Tutu who had exclaimed in surprise. She had been running so fast that the wildly jumping rabbit had blocked her view, and she hadn't noticed the black vines under her feet, and then…
"Meow!!" A cave demon slave excitedly waved its big club and rushed over after seeing Aitutu fall down.
If Ai Tutu were hit by the cave demon slave's bone club, she would definitely perish. Jiang Han's right hand surged with gray-purple electric arcs, and then he raised his hand to strike the cave demon slave. The gray-purple electric arcs flew out of Jiang Han's hand and transformed into a thick lightning python that rushed towards the cave demon slave.
The gray-purple lightning python struck the cave demon slave, killing it instantly. Even after it died, arcs of electricity still coursed across its corpse.
After dealing with the cave demon slave, the others stopped and looked at Ai Tutu who was walking behind. Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, Ming Cong and others released magic attacks on the cave demon slaves that rushed up.
Jiang Han walked up to Ai Tutu and asked calmly, "How are you? Can you still walk? If you can, get up and let's leave here as soon as possible."
"Ouch~, I think I twisted my ankle just now. Jiang Han, can you carry me?" Ai Tutu said, touching her swollen ankle.
"Okay, then come on up." Jiang Han nodded and then bent down and squatted in front of Ai Tutu so that she could climb up.
Having been roommates with Ai Tutu for so long, Jiang Han knew exactly what she was thinking. However, this wasn't the time to dwell on such things. If he continued to procrastinate, even if Jiang Han's ice magic reached a high level, it wouldn't be able to withstand the drain.
Ai Tutu crossed her legs and wrapped them around Jiang Han's waist, securing herself firmly to his back. Both rabbits were slightly deformed from the pressure. Jiang Han said calmly, "Hold on tight. I won't be responsible if you fall halfway down."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't fall," Ai Tutu said with a grin, perched on Jiang Han's back.
Next, Jiang Han, who was carrying Ai Tutu, stepped down from the front and Mo Fan and his Swift Star Wolf took over the lead. In order to reduce the pressure on everyone, Mu Ningxue directly rode the Wind Rail and rushed into the cave. Although Jiang Han knew Mu Ningxue's strength, he still released Xue Ling from the system's cultivation space to follow Mu Ningxue into the cave.
"Captain!!" Lu Zhenghe, Ming Cong, Xiao Feng, and the others shouted anxiously after seeing Mu Ningxue rush into the cave.
"She'll be alright, everyone hurry up and get out of here as soon as possible," Jiang Han said to the group.
The tunnel in the cave is not spacious, and the area where you can move is limited, so you can't use your magic skills at all. Mu Ningxue and Xue Ling rushed into the cave just to buy time for the others. As for wiping out all the cave demon slaves in the entire tunnel, that's a bit unrealistic.
"Look! There's light ahead! We're almost there!" Mo Fan, who was walking at the front, shouted.
Upon seeing the light, the others quickened their pace, rushing out of the dark tunnel into the sunlit area. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult to open their eyes for a moment, but bathed in the warm sunshine, everyone's tense spirits relaxed.
