Chapter 774: Escape Route
Two days and one night.
Hiram thought that with his own steps, he would be able to escape from the Lark Forest before dark, but he didn't expect that the road he could walk would be blocked by the swarm of silver fireworms.
The Forest of Larks, with the great advantage of a hundred races, is perfectly reflected at this moment. When all the races begin to manipulate the Silver Fireworm to search the forest area, they can search the nearby forest without revealing their bodies. This is different from a purely crowded search party, which can be wiped out by Halleym, and if Hiram dares to touch a single hair of the silver fireworm, his whereabouts will be discovered.
The Silver Fireworm is the hundredth group of larks, and no life in the Forest of Larks will attack the Silver Fireworm.
Hiram, who knew earlier that the silver fireworm could not be provoked and could only hide, changed direction many times in two days and one night, even if he ran back, he had to find a road without the silver fireworm. This process is extremely difficult, and Hiram has been circling the Lark Forest for three days and two nights.
Maintaining the state of black gas retreat requires constant energy consumption, and Hiram was lucky enough to find an underground cavern that barely fit two people before his energy reserves were on the verge of danger.
In fact, this underground cave is home to rodents, and there is the smell and hair of rodents everywhere. After Wu Qi cleaned out the aborigines and the dirty, the cave reached the minimum standard of not making people feel disgusting.
In order to survive, no matter how dirty and harsh the environment is, Wu Qi doesn't care. Now he sat down in a corner of the cave, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.
Hiram reverted back to his "human" form, sitting in the other corner of the cave, face to face with Wu Qi.
One of the benefits of the Body of Energy is that it doesn't need to eat or drink, and it can recover by resting only in an environment where there are a lot of Miracle Viruses in the air.
Hiding in the rat's burrow is not a long-term solution after all, and the biggest difficulty for Hiram in the current situation is not knowing that the two of them have run to the edge of the lark's territory.
Hiram had a map of the Lark Forest in mind, with the location of almost all of the lark realms in his mind.
As long as you can know where you are on the map and analyze the gap between the two nearby Bailing Clan's territories, it is possible to find the narrow blind spot for detecting the Silver Firebug. However, taking the initiative to explore the territory of the Bailing Clan is equivalent to colliding into the reconnaissance network composed of silver fireworms, and if it is discovered, the survival rate will be greatly reduced.
"If that woman Lois Lynch were here at this time, she wouldn't be afraid of the silver fireflies at all." Hiram couldn't help but think. But he hated it for having such thoughts.
Wu Qi's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet cave. Wu Qi said straightly: "Lord Halleym, this is not a way. โ
"I know."
Wu Qi tried to say, "Lord Halleym, I have been staying in your black qi space for the past two days and one night, and you will take it away. I think it's time for you to tell me about your planned escape plan. I'm a hunter and have a lot of knowledge about stealth in the forest. โ
Hiram snorted unceremoniously. He is the sixth envoy in the dignity, and boasts that his stealth ability and intelligence detection ability are the strongest among Lord Kazan's subordinates. If this is the case, he still needs an ordinary hunter to help plan his escape, where will his pride and face go.
Wu Qi just knew that the superiors generally had such arrogance towards their subordinates, so he waited for two days and one night and did not propose this plan. As it turned out, Hiram's invincible ability did run into a barrier that was difficult to breach. At this time, one more person, one more ability, and several application methods may usher in a turning point for breaking the game.
Hiram's pride was pressed down by another psychological comfort after a few seconds of thought. What he thought was that if Wu Qi could really come up with any way, it would not be in vain to spare Wu Qi's life.
"Put your head out." Hiram raised his hand and made a finger hook gesture to Wu Qi.
Wu Qi sat down, and Ren Hiram put his hand on top of his head. In an instant, Wu Qi suddenly felt a powerful spiritual energy with a huge and delicate message entering his mind.
Wu Qi closed his eyes and felt carefully, and found that the message from Hiram was like an accurate map of the Lark Forest. The map is marked with dozens of Bailing territory, and there are no special animals and plants.
"Wu Qi, this is my brainchild with Lois Lynch. With Master Kazan, you're the fourth person to see this map. Hiram said in a deep voice.
Wu Qi kept this map and all the information in the back of his mind. At a glance at the map, he found the location of the territories of the Transforming Beast Clan, the Black Elf Clan, the Ancient Tree Clan, and other Hundred Spirit Clans. He clearly knew how valuable this map was, and immediately nodded in response: "Wu Qi understands that Wu Qi will definitely live up to the trust of the adults. โ
"Hopefully it's not just pretty words." Hiram replied with little emotion.
This is also a "task" with high rewards and heavy punishments. If Wu Qi can really succeed, then this map is a reward for Wu Qi; If Wu Qi is an incompetent person, then he will reclaim this important map in the form of purging those in the know.
Wu Qi closed his eyes once more, and devoted himself to studying the map of the Hundred Souls Forest.
However, Wu Qi only studied for five minutes before opening his eyes. Seeing that Wu Qi opened his eyes so quickly, Hiram immediately asked, "What?" Does your hunter skill come in handy? โ
Wu Qi touched his chin with one hand, thought for a few seconds, and then clenched his fist: "We should leave the aborigines of the cave." โ
"What do you mean?" Hiram said coldly. They don't have a place to stay with those rats.
Wu Qi said with blazing eyes: "Lord Hylam, I manipulated a group of blue rats to explore my way in order to investigate the Ice Curse Soil. First of all, they do not belong to the Bailing clan, they are just ordinary forest life; Second, they are smart enough to listen to my commands and be constrained by my coercion. According to my plan, we need to find small animals that meet these conditions again and explore our way. โ
Wu Qi raised his left fist, and then the silver energy floated outside the arm armor for a circle, and then transformed into a high-speed spiral energy drill under Wu Qi's control.
"With this Energy Creation Drill I can break through the ice and escape underground. If you make a hole in the ground in ordinary soil, it will be much easier and faster. The two of us will move underground, and I'll control the small animals on the ground to find our way out of the swarm's scouting range. โ
Hiram said lightly, "Go on." โ
"Based on the map information you gave me, the closer you get to the border of the Bailing Forest, the more scattered the territory of the Bailing Clan; And they are all low-ranked races, and the silver fireflies that can be controlled are definitely not as good as those lark clans. Theoretically, this breakout would be easier and easier, until the periphery of the Lark Forest we could return to normal surface movement. In addition, my energy drill is very fast, so I don't have to worry about the speed of the breakthrough in the early stage. โ
Hiram nodded. Wu Qi really responded to his expectations, using his exploration experience to formulate a breakthrough plan that seemed to have no problems at first glance. Although the plan to the back is definitely not as simple as Wu Qi said, after all, Tianwei Gulong is not a fool, and it will definitely strengthen the garrison force on the border of the Bailing Forest.
But this plan was enough to break the deadlock. That's enough.
"Just follow your plan, I'll look for the small animal." Hiram stood up suddenly. Wu Qi also followed.
Confident in his stealth abilities, Hiram chose the darkest night to escape the cave in the form of a black gas that was not easy to see.
Bright white and silver fluorescent stars floated in the forest, which gathered together and scattered irregularly, emitting a light that illuminated the forest more than the arc of the sky at night. These fluorescent starflies are swarms of silver fireworms, and their movements are so flexible and cute that they are clearly living creatures.
The swarm of silver fireflies is not only a beautiful sea of stars in the forest, but also a morning star that guides the way forward in the dark forest for those who are lost and frightened. But not all life will act with the Silver Firefly, such as the Hunter in the Dark.
There are many small animals that like to be nocturnal, and the black qi of Hiram incarnated hides at the bottom of bushes or behind trees and moves cautiously, and in a short time catches 20 forest rats.
Hiram packed all the prey into the black gas space, brought it back to the cave and placed it in front of Wu Qi.
All the forest rats that fell out of the black qi space were all confused, which was just enough for Wu Qi to weave 20 energy necks and put them on them.
Immediately after, Wu Qi tightened the energy neckline and woke up all the confused forest rats. He turned into a devil and sneered, exuding an aura of terror without restraint. In an instant, all the forest rats lost the will to resist, and quickly gathered into a ball and shrank into the corner of the cave.
"Little mice, listen. There is a dead end and a living road in front of you. The way to life requires you to obey my orders and help me find my way. I'll let you go when I'm about to leave the Lark Forest, and any rat that lasts until the end will get my reward. โ
As he spoke, Wu Qi cut a tiny wound on the tip of his index finger. The seductive smell of atavistic blood wafting from the wound was like a devil's tentacle wrapped around the small noses of the 20 forest rats.
20 forest rats and 20 pairs of small eyes stared at Wu Qi's index finger in unison. Wu Qi said in the same way: "I understand, I am willing to nod my bastard rat, and I am willing to give up the opportunity to evolve and shake my head." I'll give you three seconds. โ
The 20 forest rats were closer than Wu Qi imagined, they looked at each other, and when Wu Qi counted to three, all 20 forest rats nodded. Not a single one shook their heads.
"Good."
Wu Qi smiled, and then he looked up at Halleym. Hiram folded his arms around his chest, and the "face" under the hood was an unchanging black gas, Wu Qi originally wanted to see how Hiram's expression was.
