Chapter 5: The Distance to Death (Part II)

Higg didn't wait for the ten-minute hourglass to run and start to set off, and instead of running quickly, he trotted unhurriedly to the back village, so as to maximize the use of his body's endurance, otherwise, the rapid burst would quickly drain the stamina he had accumulated.

The irritable werewolf and Higg also had a very tacit understanding, and did not wait for ten minutes to start attacking as Higg imagined, so Sigg left less than two minutes before the werewolf entered the village, whether the village was slaughtered or not, this Higg didn't care.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the back village, Higg saw the werewolf army that was pressing up quickly from behind, as well as a few small werewolf troops that had bypassed the village and outflanked them.

Higg laughed in his heart, although these small forces were very close to him, they had been baptized by traps and run for a long time, and they looked very embarrassed and funny. And he was able to rest for a short time, and he was not worried that they would be able to catch up with him, he was worried about the black werewolf army in the rear.

The werewolf under the full moon was irritable, and quickly shortened the entire death distance with Higg, so that Hig could not speed up, he did not dare to use the speed up magic, and his poor magic power was only enough to use a few first-order magic such as acceleration or sluggishness, which was specifically for sudden accidents.

It was about five minutes away from the mountain pass, because he still had to reserve his strength to fight when entering the mountains, and there would always be bold werewolves following the mountain woodland.

But the unexpected happened, and several big werewolf leaders broke away from their team and came quickly, getting closer and closer. These tall werewolves handle their size and are more agile than ordinary werewolves, not to mention their strength.

Higg was taken aback, it seemed that even if he could reach the mountain pass with acceleration magic, he would not be able to fight. No matter how much, if the other party fights, he can only fight, and then he will talk about it when he gets to the mountain pass. , which casts a speed up magic spell and quickly rushes towards the mountain pass.

The mountain pass is getting closer and closer, and the wolf howl behind it is getting closer and closer. As long as he enters the mountain pass and enters the forest area, Higg, who has a long hunting experience, can hope to survive, and the werewolves living in the swamp area are not suitable for fighting in the mountains and forest areas, so that Higg can get the hope of survival.

Finally entering the mountain pass, Higg felt that his physical strength was almost exhausted, but the survival instinct kept him until now, damn werewolf, endurance is good.

Entering the pass doesn't mean you're in the forest, just in the bush, but that's enough to slow down the werewolf. More than thirty meters away, the five werewolf leaders immediately followed the bush area with other werewolves earlier. This shrub area has many bushes and dwarf trees, which actually hinder Higg, but after all, it is much better than the werewolf, the only unfortunate thing is that he has physical strength, but now he has no time to give himself a rest to recover.

The distance of death was still closer, and the hateful werewolf forced his way through the bushes despite the scratches on his body, one to open the way, and the other four followed, taking turns, no slower than Higg, who crossed lightly. What made Higg collapse was that the other four werewolves picked up stones and logs, and kept throwing them in Higg's direction, although they had an upward elevation angle, but they also exhausted themselves to deal with it. Higg had no choice but to feel distressed and applied a slowing magic skill to the leading big werewolf to slow down the speed of the other party's opening of the way, but he underestimated the IQ of the big werewolf, and the other party immediately replaced another big werewolf to take the lead. Without the advanced slowing magic skills of the group, don't want to deal with the five big werewolves at the same time, Hig finally felt extremely frightened, and his body had been hit by several stones, even if he had a battle armor to protect his body, he couldn't withstand the churning of blood in his body, and the army behind him was getting closer and closer.

Do you really want to die here? As the acceleration he had applied to himself wore off, Higg had to face the closing distance to death. It's still a few hundred meters away from entering the real forest, and at this rate it will take at least five minutes. You have to find a way as soon as possible, Higg had no choice but to use the last magic power to apply the acceleration magic to himself again, the bow of the tree elf can't be used now, so it takes physical strength to pull the bow, otherwise, reluctantly pulling it apart can only exhaust the only physical strength he has, and only when he dies together will he make this decision.

Suddenly, he saw a large stone on his left hand with three horizontal and one vertical markings engraved on it, as well as an arrow and a number, which were the marks of the trap left by the hunter. But this is not a prey trap, where there are very few prey, but a naturally formed small trap that hunters mark to prevent themselves from entering.

It's good to play at home, and Higg finally sees hope. Go around the edge of the pit yourself and keep going. The big werewolf basically follows his own route and does not enter the pit on his own. When the werewolf reached the edge of the pit, Higg raised the bow of the tree elf, mounted the arrow, and shot an arrow at the werewolf, squeezing a rare smile on his face. At a distance of more than 20 meters, it is a bird's eye, and no matter how bad the archery skills are, they will definitely be able to hit with one hit. In addition to the backward werewolves who were cast with the slow magic, the four big werewolves in front of them dodged in pairs and twos to avoid being shot.

The two werewolves who dodged to the left were unlucky, only two screams were heard, and from near and far, the two big werewolves fell into an unknown deep pit, and the two hateful guys were finally scrapped.

Higg smiled and put away his bow that he hadn't drawn open, and the two big werewolves who were scared to death gave him a morale boost, and also made the other three big werewolves worried, because the opponent was really a very cunning and dangerous guy.

Having a chance to catch his breath, Higg began to think about how to deal with the situation, and more and more werewolves entered the mountains, and although they moved slowly, they could not resist the tactics of taking turns to open the way, and their stoic endurance.

If you can't beat it, you can run, but now you can't even run, which really makes Higg physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, it had just rained during the day today, otherwise with the IQ of a few big werewolves, Higg had no doubt that the other party would burn the Cape Peak, and at that time there was no way to go to the sky and no way to go down.

The big werewolves ignored their companions who fell into the pit, and after a little adjustment, they seemed to understand that Higg was carrying a bow that did not use it, but they still prevented Higg from having other conspiracies, so they were not as eager to pursue as they were just now, but concentrated on opening the way and creating opportunities for the army behind, as long as the army came up, each werewolf threw a stone and buried Higg.

In this way, a big werewolf opened the way, and the other two smashed stones to attack, which was slightly relieved than just now.

The werewolves knew that they would be helpless against Higg after entering the forest, so they pursued at all costs, although they obviously would not give up if they did not let Hig die.

The edge of the forest was getting closer and closer, and the werewolf army was getting closer and closer, and some of them could even smash the rocks to Higg's side, and the wolf howls all over the mountains were incessant, shaking the birds and beasts all over the mountains and running in all directions.

Higg felt as if the ground was shaking, and the dirt beneath his feet became more slippery, as if water was coming out of the ground. Higg had a sense of foreboding, not from the fear of werewolves, but from the coercion of nature.

Higg looked at the valley to his right through the moonlight, thoughtfully, but didn't stop.

"Mudslide!" A thought flashed through my mind, after today's heavy rain, the flow of water in the valley should not be so small, there can only be one reason, there was a landslide on the mountain, which cut off the water of this small river in the valley, forming a dammed lake, and the dammed lake has too much water and too much pressure, it will break through the muddy water that separates it, and the river water rushes down the valley with mud and rocks. This kind of thing happens multiple times a year in this damn Grand Canyon, and Higg is no stranger to it.

Higg thought, his hands and feet trembling. The howl of the werewolf combined with the echo of the valley and the resonance effect of the folding make the blockage of the dammed lake loosen and the mudslide could erupt at any time.

Compared to the threat of werewolves, the power of nature is the most terrifying. If a mudslide erupts, then the entire valley will be filled in, and the valley will become a grave for the higgs and werewolves who are climbing up the valley.

In the face of real death, there is no one who is not afraid. The ignorant werewolves were still howling, unaware that death was gathering momentum over their heads.

Higg quickly thought about the way to survive in the mortal situation, there is no way to go to heaven, is there a door to go down?

"Pit No. 4, the exit is not far from here, and there is a road that was repaired when the mine was opened, although it is dilapidated, but it can definitely be reached quickly." Higg's eyes twinkled with excitement. If you want to get to the pit quickly, you must leave the bushes and enter the mountain road, so although there is no speed advantage over the werewolves, in the face of greater danger, you can only choose the lesser of two powers.

Without hesitation, Higg gave up his goal of heading towards the forest, and quickly approached the path leading to the exit of Pit Four, without any need to conserve his strength, and used the last bit of magic to apply acceleration magic to himself, and must reach the mouth of the pit in one go. Although the distance to the forest and the distance to the pit are several hundred meters, you don't need to climb up to get to the pit, but to translate on the hillside, which is obviously a lot faster.

The werewolves noticed Higg's unusual movements, and quickly adjusted their pursuit strategy, came to the mountain road, and accelerated to shorten the death distance.

As the distance from the mouth of the pit gets closer, so does the distance between the werewolf and Higg, the distance between Higg and the mouth of the pit is the death distance, and the distance from the werewolf is also the death distance, both of which are getting shorter and shorter. Life and death are often one step away, but it is always difficult to cross. The werewolves finally howled more and more excitedly, and it seemed to them that the prey was about to enter the mouth.

Suddenly, the earth shook, and Higg knew that he had made the right gamble, and that the valley's rivers, bushes, forests, and abominable werewolves would be buried.

The werewolves finally came to their senses, stopped their pursuit, and looked up to the hill with a look of despair and terror on their faces, and there was nowhere to run.

Higg didn't look back, he knew that the distance of death was not over, but it had become the distance between him and the pit, and the distance between him and the mudslide.

The tremors were getting louder and louder, and instead of the howls of the werewolves and the rolling of the mudslide, there was only one thought, which was to reach the mouth of the pit before the mudslide.

There were already some nearby mud and rocks around Higg who also fell due to the huge tremors, and they hurt Higg.

Finally reaching the mouth of the hidden pit, Higg quickly rolled and climbed into it to prevent him from burying him in the mouth of the pit when the mudslide hit the mouth of the pit.

The entrance to the deep tunnel could still see the road a few meters away in the pit in the moonlight, and as Higg rolled in, even the last light disappeared, and then there was a sharp pain all over the body, and the mudslide hit the entrance of the pit causing rubble, smashing on the magical armor, smashing on the legs, and smashing on the hands protecting the head.

Even the last of the moonlight was gone, leaving only the darkness that could not be seen.

Higg knew that the werewolves who pursued him were finished, those who entered the valley and those who did not enter the valley were finished, even the village that passed by when they came was finished, and the villagers may have already evacuated, and if they brought the werewolves to the village and forced them to evacuate immediately, they were a blessing in disguise, who knows?
