Jiangnan1912, Watching Liang Xiong Leave

Jiangnan1912, looking at Liang Xiong as he leaves.

The other party came to him, clearly to test his strength Canxue.

The purpose of testing strength is naturally to deal with those who Canxue.

Xu Clan collapsed inexplicably, which also temporarily relieved him of the crisis of being hated by the Canxue big boss.

But the Liang Clan seems to have something else to rely on.

You should know that, when it comes to hatred, the Liang Clan's hatred was even greater.

He had secretly inquired in the village and learned that when the Liang Clan's cavalry chased after Rogue Players, they also chased after powerful players who were Canxue.

However, the Canxue boss seemed to have used some kind of method to kill the enemy cavalry, possibly some kind of burrowing monster.

Thinking back to the Wind Wolf King he had seen, Jiangnan1912 realized that Canxue must have some kind of talent, the ability to contract with demons.

With this in mind, he made a decision without hesitation: he would rather sacrifice himself than betray the Liang Clan.

After all, he can be resurrected even after he dies.

With the Liang Clan gone, he can revert to his original surname, Liang City will have to change his surname.

This kind of thing has happened before.

The idea of not wanting to be a normal son-in-law who marries into the family only exists among Dragon King's Son-in-Law.

With that in mind, he quickly logged back in, found the Elder Council Hall, and spoke with Xu Gou.

Xu Gou was immediately alarmed and said he would report to the Great Elder right away.

Two days later.

In the south, beyond the uninhabited mountains.

A six-person Skyfall Player team appeared here, each looking up at the lush, dense subtropical forest.

In a place like this, finding someone hiding there using conventional methods is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

They were all dressed in camouflage, with masks covering their faces, revealing only their eyes, and they addressed each other by code names.

Their codenames are "Captain", "Zhou Yi", "Hong Hua", "Huang Li", "Zhan Gan", and "Pangolin".

"Zhou Yi, let's cast another hexagram." The Captain of the six pointed to the boundless mountains and forests.

"Yes, Captain." A middle-aged man's voice rang out. He spread his hands, and three round ancient bronze Copper Coins with square holes appeared out of thin air.

The words "Heaven and Earth Qian Kun" (Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth) are engraved on it.

Zhou Yi picked up the Copper Coins, shook them in his hand, then scattered them into the sky, before lying down to look at them.

"Judging from the divination, the target is deep underground, probably inside a cave. We need to head south first, then west, then north, to enter a cave."

"Then we need to do another divination."

It turned out they were looking for Gao Linzhi!

Given their ability to perform real-world divination with such accuracy, this is something only Advanced Divination Profession of at least level 35 could accomplish.

This is clearly something that neither the Liang Clan nor the Xu Clan could do.

Their influence is limited to Wolf Snake Island, which lacks monsters that can be upgraded to level 35, as well as the rare divination profession.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Gao Linzhi remained hidden and did not emerge to destroy his clan despite his temporary power.

Having lived two lives, he knew from the beginning that his enemies were not just the Liang Clan or the Xu Clan.

Instead, like Huang Chao, he faced a deeply entrenched aristocratic class.

It can be described as a true real-world anomaly—an anomaly that you can never destroy or break down.

Because you will also be drawn into it, whether actively or passively.

Unless you can Immortality forever and never change your original intention.

At this very moment.

Under the calculations of the diviner Zhou Yi, this small team gradually infiltrated the vicinity of Gao Linzhi's cave.

The group eventually arrived at a complex stone forest.

At this moment, Hong Hua, one of the female players on the team, let out a disdainful voice:

"This guy has been hiding quite far; no wonder the Liang Clan and Xu Clan are helpless against him."

"Heh, you lowly commoner, you just had a stroke of luck, but knowledge and experience always have their limits," the Captain sneered.

"Yes, he has no idea how powerful Level Profession skills are," Zhou Yi said confidently.

"The myth that casual players can become invincible by logging off and hiding in no man's land has long been shattered by us!"

"We'll be able to locate him soon!"

"Hahaha, I can't wait to see what kind of expression this lowly commoner will have when we appear in front of him!" Hong Hua mocked.

"Heh, what else can we do? Remember those guys who thought they'd had a stroke of luck and were holed up in their rented rooms fantasizing about turning the tables?" the Captain laughed.

"I remember, it was hilarious! Yesterday they were showing off in the game, but today we broke in and they were all scared like quails. They were so arrogant online, but so cowardly offline. It's absolutely ridiculous!" Hong Hua said sarcastically.

The six chatted and laughed, and then, guided by Zhou Yi, they headed towards the entrance of a cave.

They were full of confidence before entering.

Their faces were filled with the confidence of someone who had suddenly appeared before Gao Linzhi.

After all, the divination indicated that the other party was right here, and the straight-line distance between them was no more than 1500 meters.

They quickly entered the cave.

An hour has passed.

Two hours have passed.

"Dead end, still a dead end!" the Captain said impatiently. "Zhou Yi, are you even capable of this?"

"Impossible. The divination indicates that he is 500 meters underground, and there must be a hole leading to him," Zhou Yi quickly explained.

He belongs to the Divination branch of the Trickster class.

With Advanced Divination skills, the more information one knows about the other person, the more accurate the divination will be.

Through extensive preliminary work, they were able to pinpoint Gao Linzhi's true identity and extract a large amount of authentic information.

Therefore, the location of the divination was highly accurate; the other party was located 500 meters underground.

However, no matter which way they went, they couldn't reach each other's location.

"Could it be that the other party drilled a hole down and then filled it in?" Hong Hua suddenly realized the only possibility.

"Then he must also possess the Earth Drill Technique, like a pangolin. Following the location given by Zhou Yi, he can burrow straight there!" the Captain ordered.

"Uh, Captain, it's true that my Earth Drill Technique is advanced, but this place is all rocks..." The pangolin was interrupted halfway through its sentence.

"Can't you do it?" the Captain said sternly.

"It's possible, it's possible, it just takes a lot of time."

"That's alright. The higher-ups said they want to see him alive or dead. We need to use this Canxue life to declare to those Rogue Players that the so-called no man's land is not a lawless place!"

"If you dare to court death, you will die!" the Captain said fiercely.

"Understood."

So the pangolin patiently began to dig downwards.

500 meters, 1000 meters.

His speed is much lower than Gao Linzhi's.

Because his physique is only 42 points.

There was no way around it; although he was level 38, his main skills were magic-based, and he hadn't learned any advanced techniques to break through his physical limits.

To advance the Earth Drill Technique to a higher level, you need to specialize in earth magic.

Unfortunately, the Earth Drill Technique is highly dependent on physical constitution.

In short, this is a mediocre class that benefits from both physical and magical skills.

Rogue Players would never learn this skill.

Only Corporate Players can specifically cultivate this type of functional player.

Skills are valuable, and it's impossible to let them learn them indefinitely.

Therefore, Gao Linzhi, with a physique of 405, can drill five or six hundred meters in an hour, while he can only drill more than ten meters in an hour.

Actually, this is already very fast, comparable to a tunnel boring machine.

And so, another day passed.

At a depth of 240 meters, the efficiency is acceptable.

Two days have passed.

At a depth of 300 meters, efficiency drops drastically; the pangolin would get exhausted and fall asleep after drilling only a few dozen meters.

Three days.

At a depth of 500 meters, it reached the theoretical depth where Gao Linzhi was located.

"Alright, the divination indicates the other party is nearby, approximately 1000 meters horizontally."

"It's just to the east."

"Do we have to go another 1000 meters?" The pangolin was in despair.

At this moment, he was 500 meters underground in a layer of rock, where it was both stuffy and hot.

His physical condition is only around 40, so he can't last long at all.

Only those with a constitution exceeding 100 can feel relatively comfortable.

"Hang in there, we'll find him soon!"

The Captain let the pangolin rest for an hour before it came down to continue drilling.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been tortured to death long ago.

This is 500 meters underground, with no ventilation, and it's damp and hot.

So they started drilling again.

This time, however, I was lucky.

The pangolin made a new discovery after burrowing for only ten hours and a little over a hundred meters.

"Found it! I've crawled into a tunnel!"

"This was clearly made by a person, which means the other party is indeed here!"

The six of them eagerly crawled into the tunnel.

The tunnel was very spacious, more than two people tall and more than one person wide.

Inside the tunnel, there were even luminous fluorite stones, a bluish hue that clearly indicated excessive radiation.

Living like this long-term will definitely make you very healthy.

As they walked among them, the Captain suddenly became serious.

"This guy's physique is indeed very high, and he's really skilled in martial arts. Is he treating this place as a permanent base?" the Captain said as they walked.

The other five nodded and walked into the spacious underground tunnel.

Suddenly, the Zhan Gan warned, "Watch out, there's a trap ahead!"

The Captain, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Zhan Gan carefully stepped forward, squatted down, and pressed down on the Captain's feet.

A stone slab, indistinguishable from the rocky ground, suddenly flipped over.

Then a long pit appeared, five meters long and fifteen meters deep, with sharp, upside-down daggers at the bottom, gleaming coldly—all the junk dropped by Gao Linzhi when fighting bosses, which he casually used here.

It's easy to imagine that if you don't know Flight Spell and are physically weak, falling in would mean certain death.

"Damn it, thankfully our team's main role is scouting and finding our way, otherwise we'd be in real trouble," the Captain cursed.

The six then climbed over the rocks overhead one by one.

They didn't run across the air because they didn't want to make too much of a commotion.

Furthermore, several magic-based classes also lack this ability.

They seem to have entered a trap.

After walking a while longer, the Zhan Gan warned again, "Another trap."

This time it was a large layer of quicksand overhead—a trap that Gao Linzhi created on a whim while playing "Minecraft" and waiting for the three to solve the puzzle.

The sand was dug from the beach in East Wolf Village.

Gao Linzhi has a level 100 "Basic Traps" skill, so he should make good use of it.

Because the quicksand trap is too sensitive, it cannot be easily removed.

The pangolin had no choice but to crawl past it again from the side.

That's all.

One day, two days, three days.

Another full week has passed, and the six people are still wandering around in the underground tunnels built by Gao Linzhi!

"Grass!"

The Captain is furious!

"Is he a giant mole? He's such a good burrower!"

"Let's stop going through these mazes, let's just go straight through the walls!"

"Yes, Captain!"

This time, the pangolin didn't refuse; it was simply too confused.

Because the Zhou Yi has consumed too many divination attempts, it cannot be used again for a short period of time.

Ordinary Player have limited mana and few ways to recover it.

Moreover, excessive use of divination techniques can severely shorten one's natural lifespan.

Therefore, after discovering the tunnel, they mainly relied on conventional methods to find their way.

Thus, they were trapped in an endless labyrinth.

Turn left, turn left, turn left, and turn left again!

Finally, they walked back to where they started!

Without divination, many of the side paths one takes are like this.

So Zhou Yi painstakingly used divination to determine Gao Linzhi's exact location before the straight-line excavation could begin.

At the same time.

Gao Linzhi had, of course, seen several yellow dots on the Minimap long ago and dug over there.

Xu Gou had previously reported that someone from a large company might be trying to locate him.

However, the Minimap did not display a red alert.

That means that, in the game AI's judgment, the person does not pose a threat.

He didn't interfere—obviously, a trap player's favorite thing is for monsters to step on their traps.

This is a good opportunity to test his digging skills.

It now appears that there is still room for improvement.

It only delayed the enemy's advance; none of the traps could inflict effective damage.

This is also because of the trap he created.

Indeed, an organized group is a powerful fighting force.

Basic Traps at level 100 is far from enough to pose a life-threatening threat to these players with advanced professions.

We absolutely need to upgrade.

The traps Expert Level and Master Level should be enough to give them a run for their money.

Gao Linzhi set himself another small goal.

This time, he has no intention of fleeing his current location.

He noticed that the other person had found his location using divination techniques.

Even if he escapes, the other party can still divine his fate.

Fortunately, he currently has enough strength to protect himself.

At the same time, he also deeply felt that if it weren't for his extraordinary transmigrator status, it would be difficult for Rogue Players in this Corporate World to stand out, even with the help of the Skyfall Game.

The strategy adopted by large companies to suppress individual employees has actually been successful.

They have complete and professional solutions for both online and offline situations, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Individuals who want to rely on no man's land for shelter can at most gain a little time to develop freely.

Unless one takes advantage of this time to quickly increase their strength to the point of being able to fight against an entire nation, they will inevitably be captured in the end.

Gao Linzhi watched as the insects struggled to approach him.

He couldn't help but sneer.

He simply kept the Corpse Vine nearby to prevent these creatures from bothering him.

He then went back to doing his own thing.

Just now, he received another interview request in his private email inbox on the forum.

He hadn't originally intended to cause any trouble.

The other party claimed to be Expert Level Diviner, which is level 55!

He immediately became interested.

He didn't want the insects to bother him either.

So he took control of the "puppet Wen Zhengxun" again and went to Xu City to interview the person who came.

That's right. With his current strength and the current situation, going to Xu City shouldn't be a problem for him.

In any case, the other side has already tracked down his hiding place.
