"What's that......?"

"What? You can't see anyone, do you?"

"Doesn't look like a player...... Maybe it's a monster, right? Like a little red bat......."

“？”

Lifa held her breath and paid full attention.

In the darkness of the cavern, there was indeed a small red shadow flying towards it. That's --

"Abominable ......"

After an unconscious curse, Lifa rolled out of the depression to the middle of the road.

As a result, the covert magic was automatically cracked, and Kirito stood up with a suspicious expression, while Clyde had a thoughtful expression.

"Hey, hey, what the hell is going on?"

"That's a tracker of advanced magic!

She shouted as she raised her hands and began chanting the incantation. After chanting a long series of incantations, countless flying needles with emerald glow were fired from the tips of Lifa's fingers. There was a 'beep-' sound in the air, and the flying needle shot directly at the red shadow.

The bat flew lightly in the air, and although it had skillfully dodged many flying needles, it was finally pierced by several needles because of the large number of flying needles. When the bat fell to the ground, it was surrounded by red flames and destroyed. When Lifa had confirmed this, she turned around and shouted at the two of them:

"We're going to make it all the way to town, Kirito, Clyde!"

"Huh...... Can't you hide anymore?"

"Ah, Kirito, do you think you can hide in this situation?" Clyde shook his head.

"By the time the Tracers were eliminated, the enemy had already discovered us. When they get here, they're going to release a whole bunch of seekers, and we can't hide from them. And...... Just now, it was a fire-attribute demon. In other words, the team approaching here now is ......"

"Fire elves!"

Kirito, who knows how to draw inferences, immediately became quite dignified.

As they spoke, the sound of footsteps mixed with metallic sounds such as clicks began to grow louder.

Lifa glanced back again, and could already see a red light in the darkness in the distance.

"Let's go!"

The three of them nodded to each other and ran.

While desperately escaping, the three of them opened the map to confirm the route, and found that the road leading to the end was about to end, and there was already an underground lake not far ahead. The road connects directly to the bridge that runs through the lake, and after crossing the bridge, you can rush through the gate of the mining city of Lukuru. Since it is impossible to attack in a neutral city, there is no way to take them even if the enemy takes them more.

'But why is there a large clique of fire elves here......

Lifa bit her lower lip. Judging from the fact that there were trackers following them from the beginning, it can be known that this group of guys has been eyeing them for a long time.

But after leaving Si Yiluban, they were already very careful, and they should not have given the enemy any chance.

The only possibility is that he was already enchanted while he was still in Si Yiluban.

Of course, it's not like no one in the Wind Elves can use fire magic.

Of course, the magic of various attributes will be adapted according to different races, for example, the wind elves are of course good at wind magic, and the earth elves are good at earth magic. But with a little more time, he can basically learn the magic of his race.

However, the bat that was destroyed just now is a high-level spell that has both the function of tracking targets and revealing the enemy's hiding place, and it can be said that it is almost impossible to use that kind of spell except for the unexpected race of fire elves. So—

"Is there a fire spirit in Si Yiluban......" Lifa muttered as she ran.

If her guess is correct, then the matter is really not trivial. Basically, Si Iruban is already a town that has opened its doors to other races, but it is still quite closely inspected for the invasion of hostile fire elves.

Powerful NPC Guardians will immediately cut down the fire spirit as soon as it spots it. It can be said that there are quite few means to pass through such close inspection......

"Oh, see the lake. ”

Hearing Kirito who was running in front of him on the right say this, Lifa's consciousness was also pulled back.

When you look up, you can immediately see that the bumpy passage has been turned into a stone path, and at the end of the road is a rather wide space, from which you can already see a little bit of blue-black lake light.

A stone bridge runs straight through the middle of the lake, and in the distance you can see a huge gate that directly connects to the hollow above the cave. It was the gate of the mining city of Luguru. As long as they can rush inside, this game of officers and soldiers catching robbers is Lifa and their victory.

After relieving herself a little, Lifa looked behind her again. The red light of the pursuers was quite far away from them.

That should be fine—Lifa thought to herself, and her feet on the stone pavement pushed harder.

When they rushed to the bridge, the temperature around them dropped slightly. The three of them rushed through the icy air with the moisture and rushed forward.

"Looks like they escaped. ”

"Don't fall into the water. I've heard that there are large monsters inside. ”

After a brief conversation with Kirito, the group arrived at the circular observation deck in the middle of the bridge, and it was at this moment that ......

Two points of light from behind them quickly streaked across the darkness above, overtaking them. Judging by the special light and effect sound, it must be a magician's shaking bomb. It should have been cast by the Fire Elf Group that caught up in order to vent its anger, and it can be said that it is completely inaccurate.

As long as they avoided the bullet and continued to run forward, when they slowed down slightly, the point of light fell about ten meters in front of them.

Lifa had predicted an explosion that would put her right arm in front of her face, but what happened next was unexpected.

With the heavy blasting sound of 'boom!', a huge rock wall rose from the surface of the bridge, completely blocking their path.

"Ahhh~ It's actually this tactic. Clyde, who raised his hand to grasp the hilt of his sword, smiled, and then stopped abruptly.

"Oops......"

"How ......"

Although Kirito's eyes widened for a moment, he didn't slow down the castration.

The greatsword on his back was pulled out at the same time as the heavy metal sounded, and he and Kirito slammed into the rock wall.

"Ah...... Kirito!"

Before she had a chance to tell her that it was useless, the giant sword in Kirito's hand had already slashed down at the rock with all his might.

She immediately fell to the ground with the thud of 'Click!', but the brown rock surface was undamaged.

"Useless ......," Riffa said again after spreading her wings and braking suddenly, stopping beside Kirito.

"Why didn't you say it sooner......"

"Actually, I originally wanted to make a move, but I didn't expect Kirito, you to be faster than me, but thank you, I didn't show that embarrassment. Clyde smiled teasingly as she walked from behind.

"Ahh

"That's because you're in too much of a hurry. This is an earth magic barrier, so it can't be destroyed by physical attacks. If you bombard the magic attack, it's still possible to ......"

"But unfortunately, we probably didn't have that opportunity. Clyde gestured behind her.

Hearing this, the two looked behind Clyde at the same time, only to see that the glittering blood-colored armor group had already reached the bridge.
