Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 628 Secret Passage

Chapter 628: Chapter 628 Secret Passage

The two moved silently within the stone pagoda.

The moonlight, like water, added an eerie layer to the stone pagoda.

However, in this place, Li Wenli’s Wind Blade lost its effectiveness.

After all, Lame Man Uncle had said that the secret passage was underground, and he had sealed it very well at the time.

If sealed properly, the wind cannot flow, and naturally, it cannot be detected.

At this moment, the pressure was all on Bai Junjun.

Bai Junjun connected with the surrounding vegetation, using the roots and tendrils to search inch by inch in the soil for the entrance to the Underground Palace.

It is said that only the successive Abbots know of this secret entrance.

Lame Man Uncle was able to enter by a stroke of fate.

Ironically, everyone was guarding the main door of the Library Pavilion, not knowing that someone had already secretly visited this place N years ago.

After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Bai Junjun finally found a place where the plant roots could not penetrate, as if there was a thick layer of concrete blocking the roots’ advance.

Bai Junjun quickly went to the suspicious spot.

Looking around, the place appeared no different from the surroundings, with a thick layer of soil that was solid when stepped on.

But the sensing of the plant roots would definitely not be wrong, and Li Wenli took up the Wind Blade to scrape and dig, uncovering a piece of dark steel after digging nearly a meter deep.

The two squatted down happily to observe.

The dark steel was embedded here, and back then, Old Uncle Qiu had broken the Formation to open it.

But times have changed, and Bai Junjun worried that breaking the Formation could alert the people over there.

After all, apart from the Congregation of Monks, there were also experts from the Imperial Palace present.

Bai Junjun thought of using the Mosquito-eating Plant for a strong sulfuric acid attack but realized she had already expelled the plant from her space.

Bai Junjun cursed herself for being rash.

When one plan failed, she devised another, taking out the Vermilion Demon, which hadn’t been used for a while.

In the moonlight, this small Short Dagger shone with a cold light.

Bai Junjun blew gently on the dagger, "My dear little Vermilion, it’s up to you now," she said.

With that, she grabbed it and fiercely drew circles on the dark steel cover.

The dark steel crumbled like tofu under the blade’s edge, and soon there was an opening.

Bai Junjun pried it open, and Li Wenli caught the large, round piece as it fell.

Once again, Li Wenli was envious to the point of tears at the Vermilion Demon’s ability to slice through metal as if it were mud.

He still clearly remembered the scene when the young lady took the Vermilion Demon.

She had first grabbed the golden bows and arrows, and after mocking them herself, she tossed the bows and arrows aside and turned to see the dark Vermilion Demon underneath them.

If only he had scrambled for the gold and Jewels back then... could the Vermilion Demon have been his?

At that thought, the tears streamed down Li Wenli’s face.

Bai Junjun glanced at him, "Don’t worry; there might still be good things waiting for you in the Underground Palace."

"..." Li Wenli.

Li Wenli wiped his envious saliva and was the first to crawl into the hole.

Over the days, the two had developed a tacit understanding.

Whenever there was a cave, it was Li Wenli who took the lead, with Bai Junjun following behind.

The two made their way underground, with Bai Junjun manipulating the surrounding Vines and wild grass to move closer to the entrance, covering up the overturned soil and the cave.

With their camouflage in place, the two continued on their way with peace of mind.

The passage was very narrow, and they could only kneel and crawl inch by inch further inside.

After an indeterminate amount of time crawling, there was finally no more path ahead.

Looking at the wooden board in front of her, Bai Junjun pushed silently and cautiously crawled out.

However, they were met with an orange-yellow curtain, paused for a moment, and belatedly realized they were under a table.

Once they sensed no one was outside, they carefully crawled out from under the table.
