Huo Bing continued to cover Xika with the ground. He really meant to bury Xika alive.

Now the ground was as high as Xika's chin. A little more until it's completely buried.

Xika tried to calm her mind.

He was certain that Huo Bing had not done this for no reason. All he needed to find out was the reason Huo Bing did this.

Huo Bing had him communicate with the ground.

To ease that matter Huo Bing buried it with soil.

So all he had to do was communicate with the ground.

The ground touched his mouth.

Xika shut her mouth tightly then inhaled as much breath as she could before she was completely buried.

And the last sight he saw was Huo Bing's smiling yet extremely annoying face that said,

"See you in the next life"

And after that Xika was completely buried.

Huo Bing sighed looking at the now buried Xika.

Now it's up to you Xika.

In the ground.

Holding her breath, Xika tried to feel the ground around her based on touch.

The ground to my left....

The one on my right....

And the one in front of me.....

AHHHHH......

Damn, my breath is almost gone. What am I supposed to do?

Fucking Huo Bing. If I make it out of here, I'll kill you.

Xika started to panic, she was unable to think clearly.

Now what am I supposed to do? This is how I'll die before I can communicate with the ground.

No. gabe.

I can't be like this.

I haven't met uncle yet, I still don't know how he is now, is he safe?

As Xika thought of her uncle, a drop of tears fell onto her face.

I haven't met them.

I haven't kept my promise to them, I can't die yet.

He began to calm himself.

Now what am I supposed to do?

Xika tried to think of finding a way out, yet she did not find it even after a while.

His mind had calmed down, but his breathing was running out.

His nose is starting to cramp.

Xika finally could not hold on anymore.

But just before his consciousness disappeared, the same symbol of wind, fire, and water as the one in his eyes lit up brightly.

Suddenly Xika could breathe again.

He can breathe on the ground.

Xika was surprised by this so she tried to breathe as much as possible.

But as he did that, the ground entered his nose which began to prevent him from breathing again.

After deflating the nose for several times, the ground came out of Xika's nose.

This time he tried to breathe normally.

He could really breathe on the ground!

But he had to be careful because the ground would get into his nose if he breathed too hard.

Now that she could breathe quietly, Xika started to feel her surroundings properly.

Previously, he was unable to feel his surroundings properly due to panic.

Without Xika noticing, the same symbol in her eyes still continued to appear and lit up brightly on her forehead.

Three days passed....

THE SRAK!!

A hand appeared in front of Huo Bing who was eating his hunting snake.

One more hand came out, then continued with a body until finally the feet.

And the first thing that the body that just came out said was,

"Fucking Huo Bing! I came back from the dead. Now I'll say 'See you in the next life"

Xika did not wait for Huo Bing to finish speaking.

He directly attacked Huo Bing.

THE DUAK!!

A successful blow landed on Huo Bing's head.

"Xi-Xika, listen to me first"

Xika did not care about Huo Bing's words.

He continued to beat up Huo Bing until he was satisfied.

Surprisingly, Huo Bing did not resist nor defend. His body is silent.

After a while he started moving and avoided Xika's punch.

Xika finally stopped. But not because he was satisfied to hit or his anger subsided, but because he could not hit Huo Bing.

Huo Bing who had lived for hundreds of years had already experienced countless battles. He could easily see the direction of Xika's attack and dodge it.

Maybe if the first blow can be said to be luck.

What about the next blow? Why did Huo Bing just stay still?

The reason is not to be unwilling but cannot be.

After Xika managed to master all four elements, the symbols in her eyes increased again one with the upper left order of the wind symbol, the upper right of the fire symbol, the lower left of the water symbol, and the lower right of the land symbol.

While the symbol on her forehead has disappeared since Xika mastered the earth element.

Xika who already had four elements had an aura that was stronger than Huo Bing who only had three elements.

An easy way to measure someone's strength by looking at their aura.

Simply put, Xika's aura suppressed Huo Bing's aura, even though it was only for a short while. As long as that happened, Xika beat Huo Bing nonstop.

After Xika's aura did not suppress her anymore, then Huo Bing started moving and dodged Xika's punch.

"Give me a reasonable explanation or I'll hit you again"

"alright then.

I'm actually helping you know, but you're beating me"

"Help me? By burying me? Let me help you too then"

"Wait first. Listen to my explanation.

I actually don't want to bury you but that's the only way" Huo Bing said that with a very satisfied expression had buried Xika.

"Your expression says the opposite damn it!"

Huo Bing pretended not to hear and resumed.

"Look, if you want to go to a place full of wind, it's simple. Just jump off a high cliff. Fire element? Burn your body. Water element? Just jump into a lake or river. What about the soil element? The only way is to bury yourself."

Huo Bing paused for a moment to look at Xika's expression. Huo Bing did not linger seeing Xika who was now looking at her with the expression that was about to********* alive.

He went back on.

"But here we have a problem. After jumping off a cliff you haven't made it? Just jump again. Burned bodies? Put it out until your body gets better and then burn it again. Get into the lake? Just get out when you are out of breath, then go in again. But the soil element is different. You can't bury yourself, so you need a friend. Then after you've been buried and out of breath? You gonna ask your friend to dig you up? Before you could scream the ground was in your mouth."

Xika nodded in agreement hearing Huo Bing's words.

"So I used another way.

He said, when man is pressed, that's where the real human ability comes out."

Xika did not say anything, but the veins on her head were clearly visible. His eyes seemed to be staring at the quarry that was saying the last request.

"At least my theory worked, didn't it?"

"Theories? TE-O-RI?"

Now Xika really wanted to eat Huo Bing round and round.

"Tu-wait. Don't you find it easier to control the elements now?"

Xika immediately tried to use the element.

He covered his right hand with wind, his left hand with fire, his right foot with water and his left foot with earth.

Everything worked in one experiment.

In the past, Xika took some time to get used to the wind element, then he didn't even have time to practice the fire element because of the atmosphere of that time and the water element because Huo Bing had him hastily master the earth element.

"seen? Right no? Don't you feel the same way down there?" said Huo Bing while pointing at the hole where Xika was buried before.

Xika thought for a moment.

"Hm..... Looks like there's. When my breath is tight and I'm about to faint, my body can suddenly breathe"

"So I really helped you, didn't I? Now you have no more reason to beat me up"

"Hm? Why isn't there? Burying me alive without telling me the previous reason was more than enough reason to hit you.

Butbut wait. Then what do you mean by 'See you in the next life' with that really annoying expression?"

"Oh that one. I didn't mean anything. I just said that to dramatize the atmosphere"

Xika attacked Huo Bing again.

After playing a romp with Xika as a cat and Huo Bing as a rat for quite a while, they stopped and enjoyed dinner.
