Chapter 233: Chapter 227: Killed His Way Back

“Bruto, stop for a moment!” Lancelot roared forcefully, “We’re coming up.”

“Big brother? You made it out?”

The Dwarf’s hesitant voice came from above, and Lancelot quickened his steps, soon reaching Bruto’s side. The Dwarf was covered in dust, looking curiously at Lancelot.

Lancelot pinched a spell in his hand, and instantly, countless vines drilled out of the surrounding soil; then, with a change of hand gesture, the vines turned and tunneled backwards, and in a short while, the area had turned into a cave ten feet square, enough for all those following behind to enter.

Although he hadn’t had the chance to learn the various Divine Power Techniques that could only be practiced after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lancelot still managed to skillfully wield this vine-summoning Divine Skill thanks to the strong True Yuan and control abilities of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Despite possessing the Spirit Roots of fire, wood, and earth, he excelled in the wood system’s techniques. It was unclear whether it was due to the blessing of the Elves or the influence of the Qingyuan Sword Technique, or perhaps related to the mysterious Cauldron Immortal Technique.

“Big brother, has your strength returned?” Bruto’s eyes widened in surprise, “You seem even stronger than before, did you grow more powerful?”

“I was lucky, my power has indeed improved a bit,” Lancelot said with a beaming smile, “But if I hadn’t been fortunate, this tunnel you dug would have been our only escape route.”

“Wow, how come you’re like the Elves, getting stronger just by sitting on the ground? I’ll definitely have to have a serious chat with Uncle Vito about this,” Bruto lamented, then his face showed a proud expression, “I’ve been paying close attention — this tunnel has already risen almost fifteen hundred feet. Even if you hadn’t succeeded, give me another three hours and I could have dug us up to the surface!”

“You’ve worked very hard,” Lancelot patted the Dwarf’s shoulder, “I’ll take care of the rest of the distance. Do you want to take a break? I’m planning to tunnel up right under that Giant Skull Demon’s feet.”

“A break?” The Dwarf, while donning his armor, glared at Lancelot, “Today I absolutely must smash that creature’s thick skull. Until then, I won’t rest. Hurry and bring me before it, my Warhammer is already hungering for battle.”

“Haha, that’s the spirit I love!” Lancelot gave the Dwarf’s shoulder a vigorous shake, “Just take care of it yourself when the time comes, I promise I won’t compete with you for the glory!”

The rest also burst into laughter, if the Dwarf didn’t need a rest, then they certainly didn’t either — during the past seven hours, they had all been lying still, conserving as much of the precious air as possible.

Lancelot focused slightly and pinched a spell again, summoning a large number of vines. After completing his Foundation Establishment, his sensitivity to Spiritual Energy had greatly increased; when using these Divine Skills, he was able to borrow a large amount of the earth’s natural forces around him, not only greatly enhancing the power but also reducing the consumption of his own True Yuan.

The vines intertwined in a spiral and began drilling up at an angle like a drill bit. Lancelot walked into the tunnel created by the vines, followed by his companions wearing looks of amazement.

“This Lancelot fellow, is he actually a Druid?”

“No way, Druids can’t wear metal armor, but his love for Plate Armor is definitely heartfelt, I swear by my beard.”

“Your beard is gone.”

“Elf! Don’t remind me of my misfortunes!”

“I’m merely stating a fact. Actually, I think this is obviously the power of the Deities, and it’s mostly related to a deity of life, nature, and plants.”

“Impossible, when have you ever seen Big Brother pray? Not even a word of it…”

“That… Have you guys noticed that the vines Brother summoned kind of look like tentacles?”

“Ah, now that you mention it, little Esha…”

“It would probably feel really comfortable to lie on…”

“Uh… eh? That makes sense, maybe from now on we won’t have to bring tents and bedrolls and stuff…”

Lancelot listened to his companions’ conversation with a wry smile in his heart. Summoning a mass of vines looked quite impressive, but if he had a useful Earth System Technique for cultivation, would he still need to bother with these time-consuming vines to dig slowly?

Fortunately, the speed of tunneling this way wasn’t slow, and Bruto had indeed dug a long distance. Before long, Lancelot stopped because they were less than thirty feet from the surface, and the Temple where they had encountered the Giant Skull Demon was right above them.

“Ready?” he looked back and asked his friends, but before the words left his mouth, the Human Knight already knew the answer from the look in everyone’s eyes.

“Hurry up.” The Dwarf urged impatiently, “We agreed earlier, that big head is mine, no one else better snatch it from me!”

Lancelot cracked a smile, said no more, closed his eyes to sense the situation above, and then suddenly increased the output of his True Yuan.

The vines, under his urging, instantly became thicker and stiffer, boring through the thirty feet of rock in the blink of an eye like a shot of adrenaline. The Dwarf let out an excited roar and was the first to charge out of the hole.

One by one, the rest of the group quickly tunneled out from underground. The hall they entered was brightly lit. The Giant Skull Demon was located dozens of feet away from them, its body adorned with several mutated Margo demons, using their strong arms to massage the skull demon’s head.

“Monster! Your Dwarf grandpa is back!”

Upon seeing the Giant Skull Demon, the Dwarf’s eyes immediately turned red. The gentle breeze brushed against his shiny chin, making Bruto even more uncontrollably angry.

The Giant Skull Demon was clearly startled by the sudden appearance of this group. It couldn’t have imagined that someone could survive the trap created with that Divine Artifact, let alone come back so soon.

Everyone was no longer disoriented by the bizarre form of the Giant Skull Demon like the first time they saw it. The Giant Skull Demon desperately used telepathy to command its servants around it to attack the intruders while its lower body’s intestines writhed, trying to spray that nauseating black bile once again.

With the experience from the last time, Lancelot naturally wouldn’t miss these movements of the enemy. Although he had agreed not to fight Bruto for the kill, helping the Dwarf was still no problem.

A large mass of vines suddenly burst from the ground beneath the Giant Skull Demon. Like a giant hand made of plants, it grabbed the beast’s lower parts before its huge and clumsy body could react, stopping the disordered spray of bodily fluids right in its intestinally-folded belly.

The Giant Skull Demon opened its mouth and let out a sharp and piercing shriek, sounding like a cat realizing it had been castrated by its owner.
