Tsukahara and Mina Tosaka run through the forest.

Not knowing when the enemy will come, this fear of the unknown is the most uncomfortable.

Especially when it is late and the forest is silent, the dappled light and shadow can only make people feel a silent sense of horror.

The boy's black hair and the girl's blonde surged in the silence, and the two of them shuttled through the forest as fast as they could.

Since ancient times, forests have been a terrain that is inconvenient for rapid marching, whether it is the soft and loose soil with fallen leaves, the small obstruction of tree branches, and low bushes, unless you are familiar with the forest, it is easy to feel the difficulty of nature.

What's more, because of the forest fire caused by Surut some time ago, many rangers have settled in the artificial mountain forest near the city, and they have to patrol the night in shifts every night.

Not to mention...... Just now Surut made such a terrifying attack, it is still late and it is not clear to see, but if it is morning, it will be very clear. The entire mountain, drilled by his attack into a huge hole that almost pierced the mountain!

This is because when the attack arrived here, it was already at the end of the crossbow, and it had to be a terrible attack force to penetrate all the way from the city center to the mountains on the outskirts of the city!

Needless to say, I'm afraid that one-fifth of the urban area has been reduced to nothingness under the sword of Surut.

It was the strongest blow that even their existence was burned. Even the scorched earth was evaporated by the attack, and all that remained was the void [emptiness], and the surrounding air was quickly replenished, causing a gust of wind in the entire city, especially felt by the two of them in the forest.

The strong wind was together, and both of them felt cold and cold, and they didn't know if it was a psychological reason. The two of them were in shambles, the broken leaves stuck to their hair, their clothes were torn by tree branches, their shoes were covered with mud, and Mina even had their calves on them, it was an unbearable hell for a girl who loved cleanliness.

Generally speaking, this is the occasion when the boy takes off his coat and gives it to the girl. But Tsukahara quietly looked at his sleeve, and the goosebumps on his arms could be clearly revealed in the broken holes......

Let's not talk about whether I'm cold or not, and give this torn sportswear to a girl, whether it can play a role is two words.

So, what to do?

He was entangled, and suddenly there was a slight noise in the forest, and both of them were startled, and subconsciously cast their eyes over, but they found nothing.

It seemed that it was not the Assassin, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.

There is an idiom in China called "The Wind Blows", and it seems that the situation of the two of them perfectly illustrates this idiom.

The two looked at each other's panicked expressions, and they all smiled wryly.

"What should I do?"

Mina asked, under the night sky, the panicked look on the girl's face made people feel emotional, and the sea-blue eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thick mist, which made people can't help but think of a gem stained with water vapor.

was originally an ordinary girl, but now she has encountered this situation, and her dearest relatives have no news, and her heroic spirit cannot be contacted...... Moreover, he was also hunted down by the assassin......

She has no idea at all, she can only put her hope on Tsukahara Mingshi, at least, he also has a servant, an archer-level heroic spirit, although I don't know what her origin is, but, looking at her weapon, it should be a heroic spirit from the future, so you can expect it, right?

"Hmm...... Luo ...... There's no news from Archer's side yet, anyway...... Let's find a place to rest. ”

Tsukahara Mingshi looked at her tired face and immediately suggested.

The more flustered the situation, the calmer he calmed down, his thoughts were clearer than usual, he thought seriously for a moment, and said a simple conclusion.

The biggest problems facing the two of them now are: food, water, and rest.

The first two things are easy to do, as mentioned before, the forest is full of rangers, so in the forest, there must be a place for them. If assisted by magic, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow a little food and water from them. Generally speaking, women generally have a little less food than men, and two people don't need too many supplies.

The point is, a resting place.

Looking at Mina's appearance, you can know that her spirit is on the verge of collapse, and Surut's ability continues to activate, which is a powerful spiritual oppression that makes others fear from their hearts just by peeping.

If people are too frightened, they will be more likely to fall into chaos and waste their physical strength because of their mood, and if they are in such a time of despair, if they are chaotic, it will definitely be even worse.

Blindly wasting physical strength, blindly putting pressure on yourself out of fear, and in the end, you will definitely collapse before the assassin attacks, that is, complete [suicide].

For this, it is imperative - rest.

Mina should be given a good rest, so that her tense nerves can be soothed and she will not go crazy.

"Ah...... Say, yes, if you go to the ranger's camp, you'll definitely receive us, right?

Mina seemed to ease up a little, and said haha, echoing Tsukahara Mingshi's words. From her dry tone, it is not difficult to conclude that she can't think anymore, and just follows the flow of Tsukahara Mingshi's words.

"No, can't go there. ”

"Ah yes, yes, I can't go. ”

Sure enough, when Tsukahara Mingshi said that she couldn't go, she immediately overturned her original assumption, and now, she is so flustered that she can't think.

"Because, that kind of place is too easy to speculate. Moreover, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Once the Assassin attacked here, the open terrain was too good for the Assassin. Also, the light of the camp's fires would attract the Assassin's pee, and he could easily surmise that we would be making deals with the rangers for food and water, and it would be too easy for him to calculate us backwards if he knew that. ”

Tsukahara Mingshi's calmness and Tosaka Mina's chaos form a perfect contrast, the more flustered, the more calm the special physique, making him the core of the two-person group.

That's a very reasonable back-push.

"So, what are we going to do?"

Mina asked weakly, with all the cowardice in her tone, she didn't even subconsciously put forward her opinion, and asked directly.

"Hmm...... So, let's find a place where the terrain is closed, the loop is unfavorable, and it is very secret. ”

Tsukahara smiled mysteriously and pulled out a playing card from his pocket.

Crystal-made cards that glow softly and cleanly under the moonlight.

The magic circuit in Tsukahara Mingshi's hand opened and closed, and the magic power quickly poured into the card along the fingertips, and the fine lines were built on it, which was a complex carving. The gurgling water flowed down his fingertips, like a waterfall, irrigating the soil beneath him, making the already soft soil a little sticky.

The scope of the magic is not large, and the flowing water irrigates a circular area with a radius of about five meters. Leaving a large number of moist traces on the land.

His idea: dig out a small space on the spot that is large enough for two people to rest.

In the forest at night, the Assassin really has the upper hand.

It was his, and at night, the Assassin could easily track the two of them, but they couldn't quickly catch his nightwalker. Moreover, the oppressive force of the night is also extraordinarily great.

The location is also his. The forest has no advantage at all for the two people living in the big city, on the contrary, the assassin has performed a lot of hidden missions, and even the forest can easily sneak.

It's not that people are assassins, but they are not two people either. It's the same on both sides.

It can be seen from this that a forced march at night is definitely not a good option. Therefore, Tsukahara Mingshi chose this method.

If you hide underground, then even if the enemy tries to attack in, you can only go through that narrow passage, and the greatest agility advantage of the assassin cannot be brought into play, and the stealth is much better, in such a large forest, it is really difficult to find the two people underground......

As for the problem of large-scale attacks and accidental injuries, it can only be said that it depends on how fate arranges.

If fate really wanted them to die, and Surut's Fire Demon Sword swung again, then it would be useless for the two of them to flee anywhere.

This is an artificial mountain range, since it is an artificial mountain range, and it was established in the past two years, it means that the soil here is excavated from other places and piled up, that is to say, the soil is looser, and after being wet by water, it also has a certain degree of operability, as long as a space is dug up, and then the hole is filled, leaving a hole for breathing, and the soil on the inner wall of the hole is frozen with air conditioning magic, so that a safe space can be created.

Compared with comfort, what the two of them need now is a sense of security.

Mina listened to him explain, Mu Ne nodded, now she is already in a good state for everything that people say, right, right, good state, Tsukahara said that, she just listened. Tsukahara smashes the poker, and the sharp wind generates in his palm, and as he swings, the rapidly rotating wind blade is like a drill, digging a hole in the sticky dirt.

Mina silently watched his work, and suddenly felt in her heart that this man, who seemed to understand nothing, was surprisingly reliable. Actually, didn't you panic?

How are his nerves formed?!

Tsukahara's work lasted about ten minutes, and the magic was really convenient.

A long and narrow passage leads underground, and about three meters below the ground, Tsukahara has dug up enough space for the two to lie flat.

The water on the inner wall is frozen so that the heat released when the water freezes will dry the surface soil to a certain extent and prevent it from appearing obtrusive. Then use the earth from the hole to throw on the ice, so that it will not be too cold to lie down.

"That, Tosaka-san. ”

"What?"

"Do you know how to do a wide explosion of magic? ”

"Hmm. ”

Mina didn't object either, he said so, and she listened to it. He took a gem in his hand and, as he said, threw it at the mouth of the cave. Tsukahara immediately sealed the hole of the two with ice magic, only to hear a bang outside, the ground was blown open, and the dirt flew everywhere, filling the hole where the two were at once!

As a result, the soil from the previous excavation is gone, and now, no one will find out that the two of them have ever dug a pit here!

Moreover, the explosion will attract rangers, who care about "who did it" rather than "what's underground". As long as there are many people, the Assassin may also find it tricky?

The reason for the mound is that the entrance to the cave is sealed, and there is no light at all, and only the sound of Mina's fine breathing can be heard beside her.

There was the noise outside and the coolness of the wind coming from the small hole for breathing, and he slowly closed his eyes.

In short, the rest is up to fate.
