The so-called crisis is both a danger and an opportunity. It depends on how to grasp and use it.

The beast tide may lead to the extinction of the human race, but it can also provide humans with sufficient food for many years, making it easier for humans to live.

Humans may not take this opportunity to reproduce the population, but at least they will spend more time practicing and cultivate more powerful witch blood warriors when there is no shortage of food.

And those huge beasts can just serve as sparring partners for the warriors to help them temper their physique.

This is a great thing.

To achieve this goal, the role of the underground river must be fully utilized.

So the human race must explore the underground river and find those exits to the ground.

Even if the exits cannot be found, Chu Yang will dig those exits out.

Just like the tunnel warfare, there is no difficulty that humans cannot overcome.

After a short rest for two hours, Chu Yang took Xiao Qian and Su Hai and set off.

After crossing the small waterfall, Chu Yang had already walked the next section of the road. Not too far away was the altar of the witch clan.

Twenty warriors had arrived at the altar ahead of them and set up sentries at the entrance.

This place is not far from the cave, so it is convenient to set up sentries. You can take turns to go back to the cave to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

When they heard that Elder Chu was going to explore the upper reaches himself, the sentries immediately offered to escort him.

But Chu Yang refused.

It was just a road exploration, so there was no need for too many people.

And with Chu Yang's strength, he didn't need other people's escort.

The four continued to move forward. After only walking for an hour, they saw another fork in the road.

The water flow on the fork was not small. Su Hai was almost certain that the fork was the Black Dragon Pond.

The water in the Black Dragon Pond was also groundwater. It was impossible for it to emerge from the ground for no reason. Therefore, it was reasonable for an underground river to lead to the Black Dragon Pond.

Following the fork, the terrain became lower and lower.

Su Hai was immediately more certain that this fork led to the Black Dragon Pond, because the terrain of the Black Dragon Pond was also very low, almost in the terrain of an underground canyon.

After the fork road came to the end, there were only cracks left, and people could not pass through.

Chu Yang explored with his spiritual sense, but still found nothing, and could not figure out the terrain outside at all.

He could only use the same trick again and began to dig stairs diagonally upwards.

Because of the air pressure, the surface of the Black Dragon Pond outside should be flush with the surface of the underground river, so if a hole is dug diagonally upwards, it should lead to a cliff around the Black Dragon Pond.

This staircase is not short either. Chu Yang dug for dozens of meters before finally digging through this mountain wall.

The exit was indeed on a steep stone wall. The outside was almost a straight up and down cliff, and the Black Dragon Pond was right in front of them.

As expected, there was indeed a tide of beasts all over the mountains outside. After all, wild beasts also need water, so many wild beasts will stay near the water source.

The Black Dragon Pond is only a few miles away from the strange mountain, which is not far away.

But the herds of beasts near the Black Dragon Pond were so dense that they simply couldn't get through them.

Whether it was day or night, they couldn't find a gap in the herds to pass through.

After a little thought, Chu Yang decided to continue digging holes, or digging tunnels, and dig the tunnel directly to the bottom of the strange mountain.

But the trouble was that Xiao Qian couldn't accurately tell the location of the mountain, she could only point out a direction and give a distance of a few miles.

Because she had not been in this world for long, she was not very familiar with the topography.

Let alone Xiao Qian, even people like Newton who had lived in this world for several years were also confused by the map of this world.

Now Chu Yang had to dig a hole in the rock layer underground. Without accurate direction coordinates and distance, he couldn't accurately open the tunnel exit at the predetermined location.

This was a little troublesome.

But Chu Yang couldn't care less, he decided to dig first.

With the approximate direction and distance, the tunnel exit couldn't deviate too far.

Chu Yang swung the hammer and returned to the underground rock layer to start working, while Xiao Qian and others helped to clean up the rubble.

This was a big project. Although Chu Yang dug the hole very quickly, it still took two days.

After digging almost everything, Chu Yang began to dig an exit to the ground.

The exit still had to be carefully protected with door stones to prevent the beasts from taking advantage of the opportunity to enter.

According to Xiao Qian's estimation, even if the exit of the tunnel was not exactly on that mountain, it should be on other adjacent mountains.

But this time they were surprisingly lucky. After Chu Yang dug up for dozens of meters, he suddenly dug up a small stone, which was exactly the kind of small stone that Xiao Qian picked up from the strange mountain.

This proved that the exit of the tunnel happened to be dug at the foot of that strange mountain.

Chu Yang was immediately invigorated, and the speed of his hands increased a bit.

Soon, with the rubble splashing, a ray of light came in from the outside.

The tunnel finally opened up to the ground.

Chu Yang widened the cave entrance by half a meter in a few moves, but before he could dig a hole large enough for people to pass through, a lion poked its head in.

Chu Yang reacted quickly, and with a backhand hammer, he flattened the lion's head.

But then, he had to stop working.

Because he used his spiritual sense to explore a little outside, he found that there were wild beasts everywhere outside, and the whole mountain had been occupied by the beast tide.

The exit of the tunnel was not far from the crack that Xiaoqian mentioned, and it was only a few dozen meters away, which happened to be within the range covered by Chu Yang's spiritual sense.

But they couldn't get out at this time, otherwise even if Chu Yang was possessed by the god of war, he would be exhausted to death by the endless beasts.

The only convenient time to act was after nightfall.

So everyone returned to the stone door reserved at the entrance of the tunnel, blocked the exit with a big stone, and lay down to rest.

Su Hai had no plan to rest, he decided to go back to the residential area of ​​the cave to get reinforcements.

Since they had to go to the ground to investigate the situation, their manpower was a little insufficient.

Not to mention organizing a team to fight the beasts outside, even if they stayed in the cave and were ready to reinforce at any time, they should always prepare some people.

It is not far from here to the cave living area. It takes about half a day to walk on the ground, but only two or three hours to walk underground.

Su Hai trotted back all the way, and his speed was even faster.

After Su Hai left, Chu Yang was about to take a good rest, but suddenly he found that the ghost beetles in his dantian had moved.

Chu Yang was overjoyed. The ghost beetles, who had eaten and drunk enough and slept for who knows how many days, finally woke up.
