As far as the eye can see, there is only gray.

It's not black or white, it's the color that seems to be the whole world has been stripped and faded.

Inexplicably, it's easy to feel flustered.

Especially when these landscapes are receding wildly at an alarming rate, and the constant distortion of the scenery is intertwined, it is easier for those who are watching all this change to fall into a kind of crazy illusion.

Suddenly.

The gray scenery in front of me suddenly disappeared.

The sensation of this moment is like the exhilaration of a diver breaking through the water level when he suddenly comes to the surface.

All the senses are completely back to normal.

Anna glanced around her surroundings.

It's a forest.

At this time, she was in the shadow formed by the shadows of several trees.

"Although I know that Miss Anna has a strong mental ability and can resist the spiritual effects caused by the shadows and cracks very well, no matter how many times I see it, I still can't hide the surprise in my heart." A young elf with long gray hair slowly stepped out from behind Anna.

And this position, a second ago, was still empty.

Anna didn't speak, she was still observing her surroundings.

This is what Lena once taught her: the first thing a mercenary should do is to observe everything around her as well as possible and memorize everything. Because no one knows, let alone certain, whether these terrains and things will become an important way to save your life in the next second.

After two seconds, Anna came to the conclusion that it was surrounded by intertwined shaded areas, and that it was impossible for her to escape the capture of the other party.

"Miss Anna, in the past ten days, you have been trying to escape almost every moment, but every time you will be easily caught by me, haven't you given up?" The gray-haired elf still smiled at Anna, but the smile made Anna feel creepy, "I think it's time for you to learn to give up." ”

"I won't give up." Anna shook her head.

The gray-haired elf smiled and didn't continue to speak on the subject: "Rest for two hours, and then we'll continue on our way." …… It's still a long way from the Empire, but unfortunately we can't take an airship right now, or it might be faster. ”

Anna ignored the other party, but chose a slightly dry, tidy place, and then lay down to rest without hesitation.

This is still the knowledge that Lena once taught Anna: no one can know when the next battle will happen, so before that, you must make full use of every opportunity to rest, and you must not waste it. Because as long as you have more stamina than your opponent, even if it's just a little more, it's likely to be an opportunity to turn things around, so you can never afford to take a break.

Anna thought she would forget all this knowledge.

But when she first tried to escape from the clutches of the elf in front of her, all the knowledge she had learned was naturally recalled.

Ten days.

For ten days, Anna would try to escape at every chance.

Whether it's morning, morning, noon, afternoon, dusk, evening, nightfall, late night, dawn, early morning, almost all time periods, all terrain areas, Anna has tried. Some of these terrains and time periods, she has even had the experience of trying them many times.

The gray-haired elf paid no attention to Anna's attempt to escape.

Because in his opinion, Anna is just doing useless work.

But he didn't know that in these attempts, Anna had gradually figured out some patterns for the gray-haired elf's behavior and habits.

This is what Su Yan taught her: never give up hope, as long as you are not dead, then you will definitely have a chance to fight back. The only thing you have to do is collect as much information as you can about the enemy before the time comes, and refine it to find opportunities to exploit. Once the opportunity arises, then you have to seize it because you only have one chance.

Once you lose, your opponent won't give you any more chances!

Therefore, in the eyes of the gray-haired elf, Anna is trying to escape again and again, and his capture like a cat and mouse is a perfect opportunity to destroy Anna's confidence and will to survive. But he didn't think about it, these were just illusions that Anna wanted him to see, and Anna was collecting intelligence on him.

"There are only morning and noon time slots, and his reaction is the slowest, so it is the best time to escape." Anna, with her eyes closed, silently carried out the information gathering so far again, "Other time periods, especially the closer to night, the faster his reaction will be, so from dusk to the next morning, it is not suitable to escape, this time is best used to recover his strength." ”

"And the place to escape, preferably in a wide area. The last time he was in that town square, it took him three minutes to find me. …… That time, I shouldn't have run into the market, there were too many shaded canopies, which created too many vantage points for him, and the next time I had the chance, I should try to go to the avenue...... No, no, I don't have the strength to resist, so if he can completely subdue me on the Great Dao, then I must ......"

“…… Gotta create an obstacle for him to get close to me quickly. ”

"Crowd! I need to rely on the crowd! Because I'm smaller, it's easier to shuttle! ”

Anna carefully and cautiously devised her escape plan, constantly refining and supplementing.

She is grateful that she has a father who likes to make plans very much, so under the influence of Su Yan's side, Anna naturally knows very well what she needs to make a plan. She used the observation tips she learned from Lena, the tricks she learned from Suyana, the audacity and carefulness she learned from Stuhlson, the bravery and fearlessness she learned from O'Harana, and the sharp intuition she learned from Notyana, all of which she had taught her.

Then, make an escape plan that only she can implement and have a chance of success of more than 50%.

So now, what Anna needs is to make the chances of success as much as possible again.

For example......

After secretly opening her eyes and seeing that the gray-haired elf had also entered a state of rest, Anna stretched out her right hand and gently touched the shadow under her body.

There was a ripple, gently swinging away.

Anna could feel something as tough as leather where her fingertips touched.

She knew this kind of thing, called "wall".

It was the obstacle that kept her from entering the shadows.

Anna didn't know why she had all this inexplicable knowledge in her head.

All she knew was that when she was brought into the shadow gap by the gray-haired elf one time, after she touched the "wall" with her own hands, she had a lot of knowledge in her mind—a lot of knowledge about the shadow gap.

Among them, there are how to reduce the mental disturbance caused by the illusion of shadows; how to move and weave through the world of shadows; How to shuttle better and faster.

But she didn't tell Anna how to get into and out of the shadows.

However, Anna believed that if she had a few more encounters with the shadows, she would be able to grasp the knowledge.

And her escape plan will only be implemented after she has mastered the relevant knowledge in this area.

Because Anna knew that her little short legs couldn't outrun the elves' long legs, if she managed to catch an escape plan, then she could only successfully escape from the clutches of the other party by using the fast movement and shuttle ability of the shadow gap.

So before this opportunity comes, Anna must persevere, learn, and grow.

And this is from O'Hara's teachings.

Anna didn't think she would have mastered this knowledge if O'Hara hadn't told her about the knowledge and techniques of the Elven Resonator, and the magical knowledge and combat techniques and learning techniques that might seem strange to outsiders.

However, she has not forgotten O'Hara's advice to her: never, never, never let those voices enter your heart. The power of darkness has the power to deceive people, and if you want to be its master, then you can only command it, not let it command you.

Whispers, once again, rang in Anna's ears.

Without warning, it appeared so suddenly.

This also came after Anna learned the knowledge of the gap in the shadows.

"Open that door, I can help you ......"

"Open that door, I can give you strength......"

"Open that door......"

"I don't need to!" Anna took a deep breath and then yelled inwardly, "I don't need your strength! I don't need your help either! ”

There was no hesitation.

And there is no wavering.

Steadfast, fearless.

All the whispers were gone, once again.

It's just that Anna didn't notice that the layer of "wall" she came into contact with was invisibly thinning.

If the previous thickness was about four fingers, now there is only a maximum thickness of three fingers.

No one noticed, or rather, no one saw, that there was a faint starlight shining around Anna.

Therefore, naturally, no one can see that Anna's data has changed.
