Time continued to slip away.
Under Qin Shaofeng's arrangements, although the number of casualties kept increasing, those who truly worked hard became even more diligent.
Even those who had previously been somewhat passive and slacked off had completely cast aside their former thoughts.
Especially in the excavation of the cave, efficiency had soared by nearly a hundredfold.
Even with such an increase in speed,
as the time Ximen Lingzhong had mentioned drew near, they still failed to dig out the foundation of the teleportation array.
"Shaofeng, should I go over and help as well?"
Li Naling had remained by Qin Shaofeng's side.
After all, she was the prison master of Endless Prison. Even on Qin Shaofeng's territory, where he could issue orders on his own, her deterrent presence was still greatly needed.
Watching the situation develop, she was beginning to lose her composure as well.
"Would it help if you went over?"
Qin Shaofeng frowned tightly and said, "Aside from you, almost all our manpower is already down in the underground cavern. Judging purely by attack power, Elder Ke is not inferior to you in the slightest."
His words were decisive, but even more merciless.
"How much time do we have left?" Li Naling asked worriedly.
"Three shichen, perhaps?"
Qin Shaofeng spoke with a furrowed brow.
How could he know the exact time? Still, he could estimate a rough figure.
"Three... shichen?"
Li Naling's heart trembled violently.
That was far too little time.
When Qin Shaofeng spoke, he did not lower his voice in the slightest. If anything, he deliberately raised it.
Their conversation came to an end.
Only then did he notice that Jun Zhan, who had just been wearing a bitter expression, had finally put away the wine gourd in his hand and slowly risen to his feet.
