Chapter 336
"Boss!"
In a hidden cave several hundred miles away from the tomb, Guo Ran looked at Long Chen with a face full of joy.
"Boss, that day when I was hiding in the dark and heard those bastards talk about you, they buried me in their tomb, I did not believe them.
Boss, you are wise and wise, with unparalleled intelligence. How could you be buried here? And they can come out safe and sound? "
Long Chen entered the cave and sat on the ground. He said tiredly, “You’re wrong this time. Your boss was really buried. He was almost immortal …”
Guo Ran was shocked, "It can’t be, boss, you really got buried? “Look at your clothes, they really look like they just got unearthed.”
Looking at the dust on Long Chen’s body, he was indeed in a sorry state. His face was also a little tired and he couldn’t help but be astonished.
"You beat a goose all day long, but its eyes were still pecked at by a goose. Your boss has failed miserably this time and has lost face greatly." Long Chen could not help but sigh.
It turned out that after Long Chen fought against the three of them that day, he had used his full power to directly send the three of them flying.
However, those three people were all Chosen level experts. With the combined might of the three of them, Long Chen was forced several steps back.
This retreat was not a big deal. Another huge pillar came crashing down, blocking the entrance of the cave. As a result, Long Chen became sorrowful, and the tomb collapsed as he was buried inside.
After the tomb collapsed, more and more dirt fell down. Even with Long Chen’s physical body, he couldn’t withstand the terrifying gravity and felt like he was about to be crushed.
If this continued, Long Chen would definitely die. Suddenly, Long Chen remembered that if he didn’t want to be crushed to death, he would have to enter the densely packed passageway.
The passageway was made of special materials, so it should be able to withstand the pressure from above. Long Chen used both hands and feet to brush away the dirt and move towards the direction of the passageway.
What made Long Chen glad was that although the enormous stone pillar blocked the passage, it was not completely sealed up. There was even a crack that was more than half a foot long.
Long Chen hastily made his way through the crack and into the passageway. The truth was as Long Chen expected. As the only mechanism passageway within the tomb, it was specially constructed and did not collapse.
The outside was still making noises. Long Chen knew that the pressure on top of his head was too great and was compressing the surrounding soil. In the future, the soil here would be as hard as rocks.
There was no air in the tomb. With Long Chen’s cultivation base, he could only live for three days at most. No matter how long it took, he wouldn’t be able to hold on.
A day later, the sounds outside stopped and everything became quiet. The deathly silence sent chills down one’s spine.
He discovered that with his soul force, he could explore more than 10,000 feet in the air. But in the earth here, it couldn’t even extend to 100 feet. The density of the soil here was too high.
At the moment when Long Chen was at a loss of what to do, Long Chen suddenly discovered that the book in his hand was emitting a very weak light.
Suddenly, Long Chen’s eyes lit up as he channeled his soul force into the golden page. The page immediately lit up, illuminating the entire passageway.
For some unknown reason, that page had an extremely close affinity with soul force. When soul force attached to it, it could display an unimaginable might.
Long Chen grasped the book and slashed it across the wall. The wall made from some unknown material had a gash in it. It was as relaxed as if he was cutting tofu.
“It’s actually this sharp?”
Long Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. He didn’t expect that after this page had been channeled with soul force, it would cut through metal like mud.
Gently releasing his hand, Long Chen slowly closed his eyes. The golden page in the air stood up and began to slowly rotate.
"Chi!"
With the circulation of Long Chen’s soul force, the spinning golden page directly cut open the top of the passageway and flew upwards.
Long Chen discovered that the golden page could sense things from a distance and could freely control things, until the page broke through the layer of earth five or six miles away and reached the outside world.
“There’s a door!”
Long Chen couldn’t help but be overjoyed. That page was simply too sharp. Cutting through these rocks was as easy as cutting through tofu.
Furthermore, the consumption of the golden page was very small. Therefore, the Long Chen began a huge project, which was to use the small page to dig a hole.
First, he used the golden page to dig a small hole as thick as a fist, letting the air penetrate it, so as not to suffocate himself to death.
He then expanded the space above his head, causing the soil on top to fall, and then continuously stored it into his interspatial ring.
Because the length of this passage was limited, it couldn’t hold too much dirt. Fortunately, Long Chen had a large pile of spatial rings, so he could simply take two of them to store the dirt.
It was very difficult to dig a well, but digging from the bottom to the top became very easy. It only took one day for the dragon carriage to finish digging the two feet wide and several miles long well.
Long Chen didn’t go out immediately. He stayed in the cave for another day before he climbed out.
The moment they left the tomb, Long Chen went straight to the hidden cave he had agreed upon with Guo Ran. The moment they entered the cave, Long Chen felt a sense of exhaustion.
It felt great to be able to escape from death. Sure enough, a tomb was not a place for a living person to stay in. A living person should still live on the ground.
Even if it was Long Chen, he would still be helpless and hesitant when facing death. If he didn’t have that golden page, he would really die inside.
“Come, let’s find a place and show you something good!”
After resting for a while, Long Chen brought Guo Ran to a secluded area. He extended his hand and summoned out the enormous forging platform.
Guo Ran’s eyes bulged out when he saw the enormous forging platform, and his mouth opened so wide that it almost exposed all thirty-two of his front teeth.
"This… This … "Am I dreaming?" Guo Ran mumbled.
“This is the treasure within the huge coffin. I think it should be the treasure used by the tomb’s owner before he died. Your luck is quite good.” Long Chen praised.
Even though Long Chen wasn’t a blacksmith, as a pill refiner, he knew that every occupation with a ‘master’ had an occupational disease. A crazy occupational disease was the obsession with professional tools.
Even though Long Chen had the Pill Emperor’s memories, Long Chen had always hoped for a good pill furnace. Right now, he was like a top-notch imperial chef, cooking in a broken jar. It was very uncomfortable.
"Boss, I love you to death!"
Guo Ran suddenly grabbed Long Chen and cried out in excitement.
“Hey, hey, you’re not allowed to kiss me. I’m warning you, I only like women!” Long Chen quickly warned with a serious expression.
"Haha!"
Guo Ran laughed heartily and threw himself onto the forging platform, hugging it and violently kissing it. This made Long Chen’s scalp go numb.
The Forging Platform was a complete body, including the Dissolving Furnace, Hammer Platform, Inch Plate, Fan, Cold Cylinder, Tempering Platform, and so on. All of them were linked together, thus this Forging Platform was shockingly heavy.
"This is definitely a treasure, my precious." /*Lord of the rings reference xD */
Guo Ran seemed to be infatuated as he gently caressed the forge with his hand, touching every single part of it like he was touching a young girl’s tender thighs. He had an intoxicated expression on his face as he watched, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.
“I declare that she’ll be my wife from now on. Even if you’re the boss, you can only touch her, not her!” Guo Ran said with a solemn expression.
Long Chen felt chills go down his spine. This boy was crazy. He began to stutter as he waved his hand, "Cut the crap. I brought it back for you. But can you keep it?"
“Hehe, you’re an amateur, aren’t you?”
Guo Ran smiled flirtatiously as he knocked on a partition on the forging platform. A small secret door was opened, revealing a button inside.
When he pressed the button, Long Chen was astonished to find that the forging platform instantly disappeared, and a small square box appeared in Guo Ran’s hand.
"We Forge Masters are extremely particular about the tools. How could we possibly rely on brute force?" Guo Ran laughed heartily, looking extremely proud of himself.
Long Chen was speechless. The distance between them was indeed vast. When he was fighting for the forging platform, each and every one of them was like a silly deer, stuffing themselves into the spatial ring.
Looking at Guo Ran’s smug expression, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel infuriated. He extended his hand and threw something towards Guo Ran, saying:
“Here, there’s a forging hammer on the table, master blacksmith.”
"Haha, and treasures …" "Aiya!"
Guo Ran saw that Long Chen threw it over and caught it with his free hand, but it ended up sinking in his palm and crashing into the ground, creating a huge crater.
Guo Ran didn’t even have time to react as he plunged the hammer into the ground, leaving only his two legs kicking wildly outside.
From afar, it looked as if a person had been thrust into the soil upside down. It was extremely comical.
“Aiya, this forge master, is he playing diving?” “Forging master is indeed extraordinary, jumping into the water while playing in the dry land!” Long Chen looked at Guo Ran’s miserable state and said in a daze.
"Boss, I was wrong, drag me out!"
Guo Ran’s muffled voice came from the ground.
Long Chen then grabbed the kid’s leg and pulled him out of the ground like a turnip. But the kid still had his hands tightly gripping the hammer handle and wouldn’t let go no matter what he said.
“Darling, it’s absolutely a treasure. Your appearance signaled that I, Master Guo Ran, was about to rise to prominence. A loud and clear name is about to resound throughout the world!” Guo Ran looked excitedly at the iron hammer in his hand.
Bang.
Guo Ran’s head suddenly crashed into the sledgehammer, causing blood to spurt out from Guo Ran’s forehead, scaring Long Chen into a jump.
"Brat, are you crazy?"
“Hehe, boss, you don’t know, divine weapons have souls and need sacrifices. I will use the blood between my eyebrows and my pious heart to pay my respects to it. I will move it and make it recognize me as its master!” Guo Ran said with a sacred expression.
Long Chen felt that this kid had indeed gone crazy. Worship, sacrifice, or recognition of a master?
"Buzz!"
The hammer in Guo Ran’s hand suddenly emitted rays of light that filled the sky.
“Hahaha, I’ve succeeded!”
Long Chen was shocked to discover that Guo Ran had grabbed the frightening hammer and leapt into the air, as if the hammer had lost its weight.
"This is too unbelievable!"
