Chapter 1923: Escape in the Night (6)

The initial white light from the explosion startled Albert, who thought he was really so bad that he came up and picked up the explosive arrow.

This crystalline cavern is not very large, and the explosion of explosive arrows at such close range is still quite a threat to Albert and them. Not to mention the possibility of an explosion causing the cavern to collapse, or making the entrance of the cavern unable to withstand the pressure from the sea of corpses, allowing the corpses to slip in and bury the cavern.

However, Albert was lucky, as the arrow he shot was not an explosive arrow, but a frozen one. Its initial explosion was small and was a means of spreading the refrigerant. Instead of destroying the hole, the refrigerant that flew out turned into a wall of ice, blocking the hole.

In this way, Albert did not need to worry about the cave collapsing for the time being. But here comes the problem again, the frozen cavern gets colder.

The tiger shuddered and picked up another arrow.

Choose one of the three, and the effect of one of the arrows has also been tested, and the remaining two arrows are probably [Explosive Arrow] and [Burning Arrow------], at least the standard configuration of an archer that Albert can think of is like this.

This means that he has a half chance of picking an explosive arrow, and the other half of a chance of picking an incendiary arrow. Either way, shooting out of the frozen hole like this could cause a big landslide, wouldn't it be more troublesome?

Albert then looked behind him.

On this side of the cave, there is a kind of crystal wall...... or a glass wall, of which no material is known. The almost transparent wall seemed to stretch into the distance, with only a few slits to let in the air. It is unknown where those slits lead, and how long they will have to travel to get outside. This is not the case with the subterranean sea of glass in the Sahara Desert, which can deflect light, making distant scenes seem close, or very close things seem far away, constantly confusing the observing eye. Shooting arrows at the crystal wall on this side can't completely avoid the collapse, but the chance of a collapse here is smaller than that on the side near the sea of corpses.

Albert dragged Chanel over, and while he carried the cold wall of ice on his back, he shot a second arrow at the other side of the cavern.

Boom! Arrows are embedded in the hollows of the walls.

It began to ignite and glow. The firelight began to spread along the entire crystal cavern, and in this huge underground glass world, it illuminated the distance in a fiery red, and the firelight was as transparent as the setting sun.

Albert breathed a sigh of relief. He was lucky enough to pick up the incendiary arrow.

So, this kind of arrowhead with four barbs in the shape of a red radish is the arrow of a burning arrow? Albert took advantage of the firelight and picked up the arrow to take a closer look. This thing has a very reasonable design. When it pierces an enemy, the barb clings into the flesh of the opponent. The incendiary arrows begin to burn violently, spraying fuel into a larger area of the enemy's body, expanding the area of effect of the flames. The thicker the skin and the rougher the monster, the more disadvantageous it will be when facing this kind of burning arrow.

Albert unwrapped an arrow with a flaming arrow and placed it on the ground. Then he was stunned. This thing makes use of the technology of compressing space, and it has a lot of fuel hidden in it, and it has its own contact (ignition) device, so it has no problem using it to make a fire. But he couldn't just throw fuel on the ground. He didn't know how to disassemble the. It always feels like a dangerous thing to throw it on the ground and set it on fire.

At the very least, we should find a rag or something to wrap it in. Albert then looked at Chanel next to him. Chanel herself wore relatively few clothes, all of which were close-fitting shorts for easy movement, and even the cloak she was wearing was given to Albert to wrap around her waist. The tiger had already torn a lot of fabric from the elf girl to bandage her wounds, and if she tore it any more, she would have to run. Albert couldn't bear to do this, so he thought of a way out of himself, and all he thought of was using the cloak around his waist to cover his shame.

The cave was getting colder and colder, and he didn't think much about it, just tore off a whole piece of cloth. Now he has less and less fabric to cover his shame, and his ass is exposed. However, Albert thought that he would not live long, and that he would still starve to death in this underground cavern, so he did not think much about it.

He wrapped the arrowhead of the flaming arrow in cloth, placed it on the ground not far away, and struck it directly with the bow blade. The arrow touched smoothly, and the fuel sprayed from the arrow could not be filled, and began to burn continuously and steadily.

Finally, there is a more reliable fire source. Albert also broke the arrows of the wood and threw them into the fire. He was cold, and he knew that Chanel must be even colder, so he hugged the elf girl and snuggled up by the fire and lay down.

So sleepy. Consciousness blurred. I want to sleep.

Albert's eyelids slowly fell. He was tired, thirsty and sleepy, and there was no part of his body that did not hurt, and he was uncomfortable from the inside out.

In order to survive, he has done everything he can. There is nothing left to do. Perhaps, this is the end.

His vision became a slit, and his eyelids covered all the scenes, except for the fire in front of him, which came through his eyelids, so that his eyes were a hazy red light. There was a biting cold behind him, and in front of him was a fire so faint that it seemed to be about to be extinguished. He curled up, trying to keep the only bit of warmth alive, but to no avail. Trap eventually catches up with him, dragging him into a heavy, dark sleep.

I don't know how long it has been.

Somebody is opening his mouth and pouring something into his mouth. I don't know if it was water or food or if it was a mixture of water and food, but the tiger felt a burst of sweetness after it slid into Albert's throat. He unconsciously took a few more sips.

"Slow down...... Someone whispered to him.

Albert slowed down his appetite, not greedy, but following his instincts, he slowly enjoyed the nectar that had slid down his throat. The burning made his mind confused, unable to think, and in his confusion he only felt that he was lying in someone's arms.

"Please, don't let him die. Someone is saying, "It took me a long time to find someone who is willing to listen with my heart." Don't let it all go to waste. ＂

Albert didn't understand the man's pleading, he just continued to eat what was in his mouth. He didn't think much about it, he just let his body act in line with his survival instinct. When he had eaten his fill, he fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it will be.

The tiger man finally woke up and opened his eyes slightly. The scene of someone feeding him seemed like a dream, but his fasting didn't seem to be so severe, and the pain on his body seemed to be much better (perhaps thanks to the Moonlight Disc).

The fire is still there. I don't know if it's because the fuel that burns the arrows is so resistant to burning, or because it's been fueled several times.

"Are you awake?" Albert's soft voice rang in Chanel's ears.

"Uh-huh...... The tiger replied in a low voice, "In the end...... ＂

"We are temporarily saved. The elven girl stroked Albert's tiger head and said, "You have found this kind of cave where you can take refuge." There was even a fire. He even knows how to help me bandage my wounds. Thanks to you, I'm much better now, and I'm finally struggling to come back from the brink of death. ＂

"Chanel...... Albert still had a low-grade fever and was still very weak, but he didn't seem to be able to die for a while.

Since he didn't die, he couldn't help but want to find a way to continue living: "What are we going to do next? What is the way to ask for help outside?"

"It's deep underground, and I can't think of a good way. But the girl said, "I have obtained from the arsenal of the British warship a small bee golem to send a distress signal, and I have sent it out along the gap in the cavern." But let's not expect too much, that little thing is probably stuck somewhere in the ground and can't get out again. ＂

Albert was silent for a moment.

"So...... We're not doing anything here, just waiting to die?" he asked in a low voice.

"One can only hope for a miracle. The girl stroked the tiger's head again.

＂...... You're not worried?" Albert asked.

"How can you not be worried, stupid tiger. Chanel pinched Albert's tiger ears and said, "But everything that can be done has been done, so let it be." ＂

Albert didn't say anything more, just lay wordless.

He tried to accumulate as much stamina as he could, and although there was nothing he could do about it at the moment, if he really had the chance, the stamina he had retained would be useful. God knows when the opportunity will come?

The campfire burned continuously, faintly and steadily. It's not a big space, and it's surprisingly well ventilated, so it's not going out. The cold of this underground cavern is gradually replaced by warmth, although its cold still prevails.

In the glow of the fire, the ceiling of the underground crystal cavern, the walls, and the ground were dotted with light.

These starlit rays come from the ore underground.

"It's beautiful. Chanel sighed under her breath when she saw the light.

Albert remembered that the people of Great Britain had mentioned that the subterranean glass sea of the Sahara Desert was a special terrain left over from a war a long, long time ago when someone used forbidden magic. The sheer power of Ultimate Magic causes the entire subsurface of the Sahara Desert to be fused into glass with high heat, creating a huge underground cavern structure. The underground part of the desert edge, although also affected by the power of ultimate magic, is relatively small, and the vitrification of the underground is relatively incomplete. Originally, there were many veins in the underground of Africa, especially various metal deposits. These natural ores vaporize and disappear in extreme heat, so that there are almost no metal particles in the center of the underground glass sea. But on the edge of the desert, in areas where the heat is less staggering, the underground veins are not completely vaporized, so they become the purest metal particles, condensed in the intricacies of underground glass caverns.

That's where Albert's [starlight] comes from. Although they look as bright as the stars in the night, they are actually just countless metal particles interspersed between the glass.

Metal......

Albert seemed to have something in mind. But I just can't figure it out. While Albert was pondering, Chanel leaned over and fell on the chest of the tiger man.
