Chapter 67: Still Running
Cass's mercenary regiment has an unwritten rule that anyone captured by the enemy will be executed as a traitor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Even if you escape, you have to get back and kill you to keep your team consistent and loyal.
Cass moved his feet vigorously, and with great difficulty he pulled out his left foot, but he couldn't move for a while.
He looked desperately at his right foot, which was still buried in the ground, twitching desperately, but still to no avail.
If he doesn't run away, even if the enemy doesn't kill him, the regimental commander will kill him.
Thinking of this, Cass gritted his teeth and made up his mind to activate the [Broken Tail Survival] skill, forcibly detached his right foot from the dirt, and stood up from the ground.
It's an escape skill that doesn't belong to any profession, and if it weren't for an outlaw like him, someone wouldn't have used it even if they learned it.
This can provide the user with a temporary pain relief effect for one minute, as well as a 20% speed and strength bonus, but once the time limit expires, it will be accompanied by disability and severe blood loss.
Although part of the flesh of his calf had been cut off, leaving a puddle of blood, Cass insisted on moving his body and ran towards the grass on the side, which was better than being killed!
The sound of breaking the air sounded.
A black sword was thrown by the girl, cutting off half of his arm, and at the same time, several small fireballs floated in the young man's hands and bombarded him.
What the? The young man turned out to be a magician?
Cass stooped to dodge, dragging his injured foot and throwing a few fleeing smoke stones behind him.
A puff of white smoke rose from the ground, obscuring his posture, and he took the opportunity to slip into the grass.
Diving into the shadows again.
There was a smell of blood floating in the air, and if it weren't for the obvious pool of blood on the ground, the two people present would not have much real sense of fighting.
"Hey, did you just let him run away!?" Kayilu looked unacceptable, she pulled out the sword inserted in the pitch black, "It's a shame that it took so much effort to dig a hole and not kill him!" ”
"Our goal should be to capture him alive......" Xia Di shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly, "By the way, don't chase after him, the shadow coverage in the forest is not as good as this place, where he is equivalent to a fish returning to the ocean, let alone catching him, maybe we will be assassinated by him." ”
"You're a fourth-order heroic spirit and you're still afraid of these things." Kay gave him a blank look, looking like he hated iron but not steel. In Kayilu's understanding, Xia Di is a high-level Heroic Spirit master, and it stands to reason that having such a golden thigh should be able to take her to brush the picture directly, but she didn't expect to be so aggrieved, which really disappointed her.
“……”
Xia Di looked at the girl in confusion.
When did he tell the girl that he was a fourth-order, if he really had this fourth-order level, he would have walked sideways in the forest a long time ago, okay?
You must know that the fourth order of this world is at least equivalent to the level of the original world level sixty, even if it is the patrol soldiers and mercenaries of the entire forest, these miscellaneous soldiers below level forty and the elite are combined, he has the confidence that he can defeat them with his bare hands.
If you don't know, you'll get the title of a freehand god.
Because you don't even need to plan anything, just go straight to A.
Of course, this is just a topic of imagination.
He knew that he was still far from it, and that he would have to go through no less than difficult battles to return to his original level.
However, his current upgrade mode seems a little strange, although it can be upgraded, but there is no way to accurately express it in the form of a level, plus this is not a game world, he can't query the status table, and he doesn't know if his state is completely consistent with the body feeling.
"Alright, let's talk about the next topic." Seeing that Xia Di was just frowning, Kayilu naturally acquiesced, "It's almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still 4 hours before the evening, the other party will go back this time, presumably he won't give up, but we don't have time to spend on that garbage, we have to find a way to ......"
"Time is indeed a problem...... Xia Di nodded.
Judging from the conversation with Barlow not long ago, it seems that the other party is looking for the mercenary named Lenno, although it is not clear what their purpose is. But the other side did not put their energy on them, this is obvious.
Otherwise, at the beginning, they should have chosen to fight with Xia Di and his party, or they would have come and assassinate them with the assassin just now.
"This time, I'm afraid they despised us, so they only sent that assassin." Xia Di shrugged his shoulders while staring at the blood stains on the ground and the venom on the broken coin, "But now it is basically certain that there is a great possibility that they will join forces with the rebels here, otherwise it is impossible to imagine that there will be people from these two forces who are not intriguing in this dangerous situation." ”
"Humans are much more stupid animals than you think, who knows." Kayilu seemed to be sarcastic about something, and said lightly, "Ah, by the way, if the mentor hasn't been contacted yet, you come with me for a while, and I'll take you to a good place." ”
"What?"
She couldn't be planning to break into the enemy camp again, was she?
Xia Di looked at the girl in front of him suspiciously, he couldn't understand what this aspiring empress was thinking.
"Let's get in touch first." Xia Di said conservatively.
Fifteen minutes later.
The mentor still didn't contact them.
Xia Di held the silver light stone in his hand, first shook it, then patted it, but failed to activate it.
The cyan stone did not turn silver like last time, indicating that the other party refused to answer their request even though they knew they were trying to get in touch.
Xia Di couldn't help but sigh.
After a short walk through the forest, it was about a kilometer from the top of the mountain.
Xia Di and Kayilu made their way through the forest to an overgrown clearing.
The terrain here is low, almost mountainside.
Xia Di checked the map and knew that this was not a point marked by the rebels, but an unknown area. He was immediately relieved, but looking at the strange rocks rising from the ground in front of him, or the remnants of the cliffs, he suddenly had a question in his heart.
What did the girl bring him here for?
"I think it's supposed to be here......" Kayilu walked over to the rock wall, rubbing her palm as she said something inexplicable, she made a fist with her right hand, knocked on the rock, and then shifted her position and continued to knock.
Although Xia Di wanted to ask her what she was doing, her whole body exuded an aura of not coming to find a conversation. Let him give up, and obediently sit on the slightly cleaned floor and watch the girl behave strangely.
Soon.
"Found it!" The girl exclaimed in surprise.
Xia Di squinted, only to see that there was a human-tall weed growing at one end of the rock wall, and the girl parted the grass with her hands and stuck her head into the rock.
Recessed?
Xia Di curiously walked over to take a look, and it turned out that there was a cave in the rock wall, which was hidden by grass.
Kayilu held the hilt of her sword in her right hand, presumably trying to cut the grass off, but she hesitated for a few seconds, then let go of her hand and walked straight into the cave with her head down.
"Come in."
Listening to her words, Xia Di also followed behind her when he heard the words.
The cave is somewhat dark, but not completely devoid of light.
There are several gaps in the roof of the cave that are more than ten meters high, which leads to the outside, and at the same time ensures that there is a certain light source in the cave.
Xia Di looked at the strangely shaped stones around him and realized that this was a stalactite cave.
"...... here?" Xia Di asked.
"As you can see, the stalactite cave, and the two ends are connected to the outside, whether it is the entrance or the exit, there are several." Kailu said in a sighing tone, "When I first heard from my mentor that there were no magical beasts here, I suddenly remembered that I had been here when I was a child. I've also explored the neighborhood alone. ”
"When were you a child?" Xia Di said in surprise.
"Well, it should be a trip to revisit the old place, to find roots, or something like that." Kayilu patted the stalactites protruding from the rock surface, turned his back to Xia Di and said, "More than ten years ago, I went to the royal capital with my father for something, and I passed by this forest, and my father set up a tent on the top of the mountain, and I stumbled upon this cave when I was playing nearby. At that time, the grass outside the cave had not grown so high, and when I came in, I accidentally got lost, and my father found me and taught me a lesson. ”
Kayilu laughed to herself in a nostalgic tone.
Xia Di didn't know what to say and didn't interject.
"When I looked at the map just now, I thought it was very strange, I wondered if the enemy didn't know about this place, otherwise there was no mark on the map, after all, this is a good place for ambush." Kayilu looked back at Xia Di, her blue eyes full of resentment.
What kind of eyes is this?
Xia Di couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"What are you calling me for?"
"There are two things." Kayilu took a deep breath, "First of all, ask the Mentor, the entrance and exit of this cave can cross this half of the forest, and it will be convenient to move later, as long as she indicates where we are going, I can take you to the corresponding exit." And the second thing......"
Kayiru stared straight at him.
"What?"
"Is there something you and your mentor are hiding from me?"
