Chapter 243: Jumping Out of the Encirclement
It's been months since Higg came out of the beast enclosure, and he and Lufasi have been hiding from the enemy's detection since they came out of the angel cage. In less than a day since killing the griffins, hundreds of griffons have been scouting around the angel's cage, including sending ground troops to search the jungle, discovering clues about the two and one beast, and pursuing them all the way in the direction they left.
The scope of this tracking, the amount of power invested, and the length of time surprised Higg, who believed that his identity was not revealed, and if this was the territory controlled by Arad, even if Higg himself, it would not be worth Arad to use such a large formation against him, then, there was only one result, the target that the other party needed was not himself, but Lu Fasi. This made Higg very curious about this man who claimed to be an angel, but was completely incapable of fighting.
Fortunately, this Lu Fasi is not useless, except for the weakness of not having the ability to fight, he is simply a living encyclopedia, things throughout the ages, the whole guy knows everything, it seems that living for a long time is a kind of capital!
During the days of hiding in the jungle, I listened to this guy tell stories every day, many of which were not recorded in the "Adventures of the Ages", and even if they were recorded in the "Adventures of the Ages", they were very different from what Lu Faxi said, which made Higg stunned. Communicating with this encyclopedia, Higg did not feel bored at all, military, political, diplomatic, economic, intelligence of various forces, and even magic, swordsmanship, and intrigue, this guy simply knows everything.
"It's been four months, my Lord Lufasi, we've been hiding in this mountain for four months!" Higg said bitterly, "I don't have as long a life as you, and I'm just wasting my life here for you!" ”
Having said that, the more the enemy blockades and hunts hard, the more impressive Higg is with this guy Lufasi, so that the opponent can send hundreds of griffons to reconnoiter in the air, plus tens of thousands of ground troops, to search the mountains, you can imagine the value of this Lufasi.
"I didn't eat and drink you for nothing!" Lu Faxi held the half-burnt thigh of the mountain rabbit in his hand, and said angrily while gnawing, "I will tell you stories every day, and I will also teach you swordsmanship, and that prayer magic skill alone will be enough for your food!" ”
Higg smiled: "You are so valuable, I might as well hand you over and make a deal with the other party, it is definitely a good price!" ”
Lu Faxi, whose mouth was full of oil and water, shook his head, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You won't, you have the magical armor of the Angel Alliance on you, and we are destined to be destined!" Let's think about how to get out, Yuri is comparing patience with me, hum, I've been locked up in the angel cage for so many years, and I don't feel anything, not to mention that now I have food and drink, and someone to chat with me! ”
"Hmph, you're patient, I'm impatient!" Higg said without hesitation, indeed, being trapped in this jungle and not being able to move freely is no different from being locked in an angel cage, if the other party wants to spend blood with him, and blockade this place for ten or eight years, wouldn't he waste his life in vain? The swordsmanship and magic skills that he learned from Lu Faxi these days have basically been mastered, and sometimes he feels that he has benefited a lot from meditating down and practicing and learning, and it will be much easier to transform his experience accumulation into his own actual combat skills, which is why Higg discusses the wizarding world with Delonso every time he returns to Fuxing City. Now Higg himself has been able to integrate his swordsmanship, archery and magic skills, and use them together, and he has also gained a lot from his understanding of the Bagua Mirror, which almost allows him to go head-to-head with Xiao Baiyun without falling behind, so he has the patience to confront the enemies outside with Lu Faxi here, playing a game of cat and mouse. But when will this kind of endless days be a head? Fuxing City, Luojia River Plain, Silent Forest, Forest Country, and so many other things have been stranded indefinitely, so how can he settle down again?
"Huh, boy!" Lu Faxi said dissatisfiedly, "People's cultivation is not just about practicing swordsmanship and magic skills, but also cultivating the mind!" Your mind is not calm enough, you can see that there are too many worldly things waiting for you to do, you must have been very busy before, and you are doing your own things to the end of your day very full! But, young man, you are so busy every day, what time do you have to think? Everyone should divide their time into three parts, one-third is eating and sleeping, one-third is doing things, and one-third is practicing, and in the time of practice, mind cultivation should account for more than half of the time! Every successful person must leave enough time for himself to think, to repent of his sins, to cleanse his heart, to broaden his thinking, and to improve his patience! Did you do that? I've been kind enough to let you quiet for a few months, but you don't appreciate it and want to get out, what's so hard about that? Just drift down this small river, and with your skills, they can still catch you? ”
"If that's the case, why should I wait until today?" Higg asked, "I admit that you are right, Mr. Lufasi, and that it has been very helpful to me personally, but I will not continue to stay here, and I certainly will not leave you alone!" ”
"Do you know what this place is?" Lufasi asked.
"I can guess!" "First, if it rains and doesn't snow in the winter, it means that this is the south; Second, if Yuri is in cahoots with Arad and imprisons you here, then this must belong to the territory controlled by Arad; Thirdly, it is a place of high mountains and dense jungles, and of the territory controlled by Arad, only the east of Alasia has such a relatively wild and unexplored place. So this should be the rear lair of Arad, the former duke's fief - north of the province of Camillo, not too far from the territory controlled by the Forest State! ”
Lu Fasi smiled: "These hints have been there for a long time, and you didn't know about them before!" If you hadn't thought about it for this time, would you have been able to tell that this was Arad's lair? Now that we have crossed the mountains to the north, we can enter the territory of the Forest Nation, and at the speed of unicorns, even if we are discovered by the griffins, the more than a hundred griffons in the jungle will not be able to do anything to us, unless Arad blocks the border with heavy troops, otherwise, how can those pursuers on the ground catch up with us? ”
"No, I don't want to enter the Forest Country!" "The other side must have thought of this, so there must be a heavy army blocking our way into the Forest Country, so we went the opposite way, along the river to the hinterland of the province of Camillo!" The small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, the big is hidden in the court, the most dangerous place is the safest place, Arad has locked you up for so long, you don't disturb his rear, wouldn't it be too cheap for him? ”
"Alright, let's go to the hinterland of Camillo!" Lufasi was tickled by Higg's words, and laughed: "It's not that simple! This road is full of difficulties, and the spiral angle on Xiao Baiyun's forehead will reveal our identity, so we have to let Xiao Baiyun continue to deal with them here, and even pretend to flee to the Forest Country to attract their attention, and we can attack the east and west, go down the river, and cross the sea without hiding from the sky! ”
Higg shook his head: "You're going to let my unicorn go on an adventure alone?" It's too dangerous then! ”
Lufasi scoffed, "You're underestimating unicorns! Is the reputation of the jungle beast covered? It originally belonged to the jungle of the Forest Country, and if you tell it to go to the hinterland of Camillo Province, expose ourselves and not say it, its ability to go there will be greatly reduced, and it will become a burden to you! ”
Higg was skeptical, thinking about it carefully, it did make sense, although Xiao Baiyun was in danger, but without the burden of Lu Faxi, it could play its full strength, break through the heavy defense line and enter the forest country, and then go to Benjamin and Blue Fairy according to his instructions, so that he could jump out of the encirclement! It's just that during this time, I got along with Xiao Baiyun day and night, and it was really reluctant to let it leave suddenly.
"Okay, anyway, I'm tired of everything here!" Higg said, "As you say, we're going to split up and act tonight!" ”
……
This night is indeed a good time to act, it has just rained during the day, the small river has enough water, and it is completely possible to go down the river, plus there is no moonlight on a cloudy day, which does not hinder the actions of Xiao Baiyun and Higg, but for the opponent who searches for him, it is a big hindrance!
There is basically no problem with the communication between Hig and Xiao Baiyun in terms of spiritual communication, and although Xiao Baiyun is reluctant, he still reluctantly accepts this arrangement.
Higg first copied the mirror image of himself and Lu Faxi, and then Xiao Baiyun carried the weightless mirror image of the two people north into the deeper dense forest! Higg watched the little white cloud disappear into the darkness with blank eyes, and it was difficult to let go of the separation with tears in his eyes. There was a burst of loneliness in his heart, it knew that this was feeling lonely for Xiao Baiyun, this divine beast from another dimension, except for himself, in this world, it had no companions, but it still accepted its own decision, risked alone, and faced loneliness alone!
"Unicorn beasts are difficult for ordinary people to domesticate, this kind of beasts only like girls' dresses!" "So a lot of people have captured unicorns this way before, but they can't domesticate them!" I don't know how you domesticated this psychic unicorn, and I obey you! ”
Higg was silent, picked up two inflatable vests made of animal skins from the ground, put one on himself, and handed it to Lufasi! Lu Fasi also wore it unceremoniously, he didn't have any mana now, he was no different from an ordinary person, rafting in the deep mountains and rivers was indeed a very difficult thing for him, but as Higg said, continue to play games with opponents here, and sooner or later the mouse will be caught by the cat, so, even if he is adventurous, he has to leave!
It was not easy for the two who were going down the river in the middle of the night, they could think of it, and of course their opponents would think of it.
The river flows southeast, and is patrolled by scattered soldiers along the river, and while these small soldiers pose little threat to Higg and Lufasi, there is no need to startle them. Camouflage is not too difficult a magic skill, even if the night is dark, Higg does not dare to be careless, disguise himself and Lufasi as two dead logs drifting in the river!
Although the shore guards did not pose a threat, they were greatly threatened by the traps placed in the river.
A variety of mechanisms emerged: iron fences blocked the river; Several rows of spears were buried in the water; Barrages were built on both sides of the river to narrow the surface of the river and make the water flow turbulent, and a large iron cage was installed between the two dams, and you were invited to enter the urn......
Fortunately, Higg had prepared for a long time, and it was not difficult to dismantle these mechanisms, but after the dissolution was completed, the mechanisms had to be restored, so that the other party would not find out that the mechanisms were damaged and grasp the direction of his actions, which did cost Higg a lot of thought and time.
Lufasi was much more miserable, and even without these mechanisms, the rushing water and the rocks of various sizes were enough for him to drink. He had to tie himself up to Higg and follow him. Seeing the down-and-out angel being smashed all over his head, Higg almost burst out laughing.
No one knew where the unknown river would lead, and how far it would take to get out of the deep mountain jungle, and after drifting for nearly a night, Higg and Lufasi only felt that the river was gradually widening and the current was gradually slowing down.
But in the silence of the night, a loud rumbling sound was heard in the distance!
Waterfall - The two people realized almost at the same time that this rumbling sound was definitely a waterfall, and the drop of this waterfall was definitely not too small, otherwise there would not be such a big sound of running water. If the other party doesn't put any traps in the middle of the waterfall, then they will fall into the net themselves!
Without a chance to make adjustments to them, the huge suction of the waterfall swept the two into it, becoming part of the waterfall and falling down the cliff face! The darkness before dawn is the darkest, how high the waterfall is, what is underneath it, Higg and Lufasi do not know, some waterfalls have deep pools at the bottom, but they are pools surrounded by boulders, which are not deep, and if you fall down like this and touch a pool, it will be dangerous!
The sight is not good, and Higg does not dare to use teleportation indiscriminately, if he moves in the wrong place, moves into the rocks, or moves into mid-air, it will be more miserable than falling into a pool.
In mid-air, Higg placed an atmospheric shield under himself and a steel skin on Lufasi, then adjusted his body so that his head was up and his feet were down, ready to land! This landing method is different from the time of the neon abyss, when I knew where the landing site was, and I could use a tornado cyclone to hold myself up, but now in complete darkness, I don't know when I will land, so I can only minimize the damage in this way.
The roar of the huge waterfall drowned out the loud sound of the two of them entering the water, and as soon as his toes re-touched the surface of the water, Higg naturally bent down to cushion! The pool is not deep, this depth is not enough to meet the buffer of Higg and Lufasi, who fell down from a height of more than a hundred meters, and Higg, whose feet quickly touched the rocks at the bottom of the water, felt that the bones of the whole person were almost shattered, but fortunately, he was conscious and immediately adjusted his luck.
Lufasi was not so lucky, although he had a steel-skinned bodyguard, his body was not so upright, and he fell diagonally on the water, being thrown far away, and even the rope tied to Higg was torn off. Lu Faxi, who stirred up a huge column of water on the water surface, suddenly fainted, and the huge impact force smashed the animal skin inflatable vest, and Lu Faxi sank under the water together!
Ignoring the pain, Higg had no choice but to dive into the water, pull Lufasi by the hair, slowly fish him out of the water, and landed on the shore to give him a simple treatment. It was getting light, and Lufasi had not yet woken up, and Higg could not be exposed to this waterfall or stay by the river, so he had to carry Lufasi with difficulty and disappear into the darkness.
