Chapter Forty-Seven: Punishment Mission: Investigation of the Disappearance of Seven Wolf Peaks (Final)
The wolves soon followed the scent to the underground river, their glowing eyes lit up in the darkness, and the sound of breathing filled the cavern.
Heruga walked up.
It looked at the river in disgust, and spewed a red flame into the distance.
Call~
The glow of the fire illuminated the cavern, and two small dots on the water were rapidly fleeing.
That's Mariluley and the Marsh King on the run! And, of course, Akira Fukuoka and Mai Kurosaki who are holding them.
Heiru!
With the wolf king's order, more than thirty big wolf dogs jumped into the river and chased after them.
Indifferently watching his men and prey disappear around the corner of the river, Heiruga greeted and led the rest of the wolves to turn away.
The word has leaked, and the plan is about to be advanced, and it is going to attack before the humans in that academy react.
……
The dark underground river is cold because there is no sunlight all year round.
Underwater, the lobster creeps dragged Ryuichi and Mari Fujii forward with difficulty.
Because of the darkness, they could not see the road clearly, and the rocks and stalagmites that protruded from time to time on the riverbed also caused them a lot of obstacles.
There was a sudden red overhead, followed by a faint sound of falling water, and Long Yi could see the situation above through the flash of firelight.
The wolves are catching up!
He patted the lobster creep to stop, silently waited for the wolves to pass, and then crept to the surface.
Call~
After a change of breath, Ryuyi looked at the shore, where a large number of wolves still lingered.
"It seems that they will not be gone anytime soon, so we will quietly follow behind to facilitate ventilation." Long Yi whispered, and Mari Fujii said hello.
Continuing to pull the lobster creeps underwater, the few lanternfish swimming by became the only source of light, and the two gradually moved away from the shore.
Because of the need for ventilation, they need to surface once in a while, and the dark underwater environment severely restricts the vision of the two of them, so every time they breathe, they seem to be scared.
After advancing like this for a while, the dragon gradually felt a little uncomfortable, and knocked on the lobster creep to signal it to float again.
However, this time, Ryuichi's head had just emerged from the water, and he immediately saw dozens of points of light shining on the water not far from him.
Firefly?
No, it's a big wolfdog!
Whew!
One of the big wolfdogs spotted Ryuichi and howled and spewed out an orange fireball.
In an instant, the more than thirty big wolf dogs floating on the water all turned their heads.
"Lobster creeps, dive!" Long Yi hurriedly shouted and took a deep breath.
Call~
The water poured into their ears, and the lobster creeps who dived extremely fast took Ryuichi and Mari Fujii to dodge the fireball attack, but at this moment the location where they had just surfaced was surrounded by large wolfdogs.
Trouble!
Ryuichi just saw that the underground river suddenly poured into a hole when it arrived here, and it was precisely because there was no space on the water that those big wolf dogs chased down Fukuoka Akira and Kurosaki Mai.
At this moment, the dragon has two choices, go forward, or go backward and wait for the wolves to leave and get out of the hole.
The oxygen in his mouth didn't allow Long Yi to think too much time, and after briefly weighing the pros and cons, he decisively used the previously negotiated code to signal the lobster creeps forward.
Moving forward is the only way out!
The lobster creeps climbed into a corridor.
The tunnel seemed to be washed out of the mountain by the current, and it was so narrow that Ryuichi and Mari Fujii had to stick to their bodies as close as possible.
The corridor is very long, and it is unexpectedly long.
Slowly, a glowing green moss began to grow on the surrounding rock walls, and the light provided by this moss allowed Ryuichi and Mari Fujii to see something a little, but it was even worse.
Because Ryuichi is running out of oxygen!
As a landlubber, Long Yi's ability to hold his breath is very average, and at the moment he is in an underground tunnel with dense water, and he can't breathe a breath of air, and the long corridor seems to have no end, which makes people feel desperate.
Slowly, the dragon felt dizzy at first, and he desperately covered his mouth to retain more air, but the pain of suffocation made him want to breathe involuntarily, and a series of bubbles leaked out of his fingers.
Can't hold it!
It's definitely not going to end!
Ryuichi was desperate, he couldn't think of any other way to prolong his life.
Until Mari Fujii patted his hand.
The dim environment and the vertigo caused by suffocation made Ryu unable to read her expression clearly, but he subconsciously let go of the hand covering his mouth.
A pair of red lips printed.
It's Mari Fujii!
He suddenly realized something, something seemed to pry his teeth, loosened slightly, and then a breath of air was measured.
The dexterous tongue retracted, Mari Fujii pointed to the lips of the two, and the dragon blinked and closed his teeth.
Lips parted, and the girl turned her head away, looking straight ahead.
The lobster creeps kept going.
This corridor is really long, and it wasn't until Ryuichi was angered by Mari Fujii for the second time that he finally saw the light representing the exit.
That's the glow of the setting sun!
Thundered!
The sudden acceleration of the current made both of them realize something at the same time.
It's a waterfall!
It's not a big waterfall, it's a small one. But this kind of waterfall is even more dangerous, because there are steep rocks everywhere, and these rocks that have been washed away by the current for an unknown amount of time are not much worse in hardness than steel.
Rumble!
"Ahh - "The strong current of water threw the two of them into the air, and Mari Fujii screamed desperately, hugging Ryuichi to death.
The wind howled, and Ryuichi realized that he was falling.
Below is a pool, but I don't know how deep it is, let alone how many rocks there are.
They need to save themselves!
"Use your Bibi Bird or Queen Bee!" Ryuichi yells, but the roar and screams of the waterfall make Mari Fujii not hear Ryuichi's voice.
It's too late!
Long Yi gritted his teeth, and now he could only pray to Lady Luck.
He hugged Mari Fujii and the lobster creep tightly, trying to adjust his position to keep himself underneath, and then closed his eyes.
Rumble!
The soft water surface was as hard as steel under the effect of gravity, and the strong impact made the dragon lose the feeling of his back for a moment, and Mari Fujii, who was screaming, took a few sips because of the entrance.
Hey!
The lobster creeps struggled to drag the two to the surface.
"Ahem......" Mari Fujii coughed violently, and Ryuichi grinned in pain.
"Hiss~ Lobster creep, take us ashore." Long Yi commanded.
Finally, after about half an hour of advancing in the underground river, they came to shore again.
Ryuichi sat up, the pain in his back preventing him from lying on the grass to rest, though he desperately wanted to do so at the moment.
It was late afternoon, and the sun was out of sight, except for the remaining fiery clouds on the horizon barely illuminating the forest.
"Coming out? We escaped! Mari Fujii, who finally finished coughing, hugged Ryuichi excitedly, but at the same time, he screamed.
"Tap Senpai! I've got a wound on my back! He said, but before he could finish speaking, he was gagged by the oncoming rosy lips.
Mari Fujii gave Ryuichi a hot wet kiss, and she seemed to want to vent all the fears and fears that arose today through this kiss, until both of them were a little out of breath, and she was reluctant to let go of Ryuichi.
Wave~
A crystal thread connected the two.
This voice made Mari Fujii's face instantly red, and she seemed to realize what she had just done at this time, and she turned her head unnaturally.
"You...... Don't get me wrong, I'll kiss even a bear just now. ”
Long Yi looked at her and shook his head: "Okay, then I don't care about you kissing me three times, it's three times!" ”
"Hey!" The girl's dissatisfaction sounded in disgust, and finally dispelled some of the gloom after nine deaths.
"Thank you, senior sister, you saved my life." Long Yi said seriously.
