32 Escape
"Please come here!"
Guided by the girl, Ariel follows her into a long, narrow tunnel.
The tunnel was quite narrow, making it difficult for Ariel to move around, her body clinging to the walls, the irregular surface made her feel a little uncomfortable, and her young skin tingled from time to time, and in some places it was cut by rubble.
"Where does the tunnel lead?" She asked.
"It leads directly to the forest at the back of this base, and if you escape from there, it will be difficult for the guards to detect it!" The girl replied with a grin.
"Did you dig this tunnel improvised?"
"Yes!" She nodded slightly proudly, "My brother and I have special abilities that are not limited to transformation, but also have the ability to 'terraform'!" Just like an animal called a 'gopher', it can quickly make a long tunnel underground! β
"Gophers? What is that? Ariel was a little confused.
"Uh... I heard it from my master.,It seems to be a legendary monster.,It lives underground.,Can use its sharp claws to dig holes in the ground at will! β
"Oh~That's a magical animal~"
She replied meaningfully, her eyes scanning the girl crawling ahead.
Judging from her body shape and appearance, the girl was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, which was the same age as the little girl that Uncle Luo picked up, but from just now to now, the skillful stealing skills that the girl showed in front of Ariel were as sophisticated as a veteran in the workplace.
"How old are you?"
"Huh...?" The girl paused for a moment, then looked back at Ariel.
"Ten... Nineteen years old..."
"Oh, that's it~" Ariel replied, reaching out and touching the girl's thigh.
"Ah~" The girl was taken aback, "There is... What's the problem? β
She looked back and saw Ariel smiling at her, a little creepy.
"It's okay, it's okay~" Ariel smiled and nudged her, motioning for her to move on.
β¦β¦
"It's almost at the exit!" The girl reminded.
She pulled an iron nail from the wall and put it in her pocket.
"What is this?" Ariel asked.
"With the nails used to mark, I can feel the distance from them with my mind, so that I can judge the distance I am traveling."
"It's really a convenient ability!"
"Well, it's a little useless in combat, though," the girl shrugged.
"By the way, what about your brother?"
"He must have escaped through another passage, if nothing elseβ" Before she could finish her sentence, the whole person suddenly froze there.
"What's wrong?" Ariel wondered.
"He... He should have sent me a safety signal a while ago! But so far there has been no signal! She became nervous, and her face became a little ugly.
"Do you want to go back?" Ariel asked.
"Nope! I'm going to the exit soon, at least put the fish balls in a safe place before trying to contact my brother! The girl shook her head, as if trying to get rid of some distraction in her head, and then turned her head and sped up her crawl.
β¦β¦
After a few more minutes of crawling, I felt a cool breeze coming out of front and the width of the four walls gradually increased.
"It's coming!" The girl reminded to pull out a nail from the wall.
In the blink of an eye, the light became brighter, and the exit appeared ahead!
The girl jumped down from the entrance of the cave, stood on the ground and shouted at the entrance of the cave, "Miss Ariel, the entrance of the cave is about ten meters high from the ground, be careful when you come down!" β
"Thank you for the reminder~" Ariel jumped down with a smile, and the moment his toes landed on the ground without making the slightest sound, it was as light as a feather quietly landing.
"Miss Ariel is so quick!" The girl smiled and praised, the expression on her face was as pure and cute as a little fan girl.
"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet!" Ariel looked down at the little girl, who was more than half a head shorter than herself.
"My name is Li Huahua, and my brother's name is Li Mingyuan!" She bowed her head slightly.
"Well, happy cooperation!" Ariel smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
"So, Miss Ariel, can I trouble you with something?" She folded her hands on her chest and looked at Ariel with a pleading gaze.
"What?"
"I'll keep my share of fish balls with you first, and after I rescue my brother, I'll go to your guild to retrieve them!"
"You... Can you trust me? Ariel frowned.
"Hmm!" She nodded earnestly, "Miss Ariel is a well-known and powerful leader in the concentration camp, and she is also the idol of my brother and me!" Therefore, I believe that Miss Ariel has the same integrity! β
"In that case, I'll take them~ But don't you want to ask me for help to rescue my brother with you?"
Hearing the question, she was stunned for a moment: "No... This is our own business, and we can't implicate Miss Ariel in such a dangerous operation! She shook her head, and a black glow began to glow around her body.
"Is that decided?" Ariel asked again.
"Hmmm! Miss Ariel, please make sure that our fish balls arrive safely in your guild! She nodded, smiled and turned into a dark shadow as she descended the tunnel back to the Breakfree headquarters.
Looking at the deep tunnel entrance overhead, Ariel sighed softly.
"It's a pityβ" Then he shook his head and walked towards the forest with the heavy package in his hand......
β¦β¦
12 p.m., in the living room of Coral III.
"Didn't you say there's a big show to watch tonight? When will it come? β
I sat down on the couch bored, the soft cushions sinking me in, and for my young age, it should have been bedtime, but I still managed to hold on to my sleepiness in order to watch what Hawke called 'a big show'.
"Uh... Isn't that right? Hawk muttered, casting a puzzled look at Sister Lilith, who was sitting next to her knitting sweater.
"I'm afraid it's a problem, right? After all, there are many strong people in Uncle Luo's guild, even if they can't resist the fierce attack of those two imps in a one-on-one situation, but in the case of multiple personnel, I am afraid that they can create a lineup with strong containment power to block the attack of the two of them! Sister Lilith analyzed.
"In this way, Uncle Luo didn't discuss the 'script arrangement' with that guy Ariel at all, and just let Ariel decide the entire implementation process of the 'Assault Plan' on his own?"
"I'm afraid so!" My sister nodded in affirmation.
"That's a bit of, isn't it? No matter how powerful that lace girl is, she won't be strong enough to go head-to-head with the 'Breakfreers', right? β
"I don't know... After all, her plan is to unite many guilds to attack the 'Breakfreer' headquarters, and now the specific situation is only known to the people on the scene, and all we can do is wait patiently at home! My sister reassured.
"Hmm~ I want to sleep..."I muttered, rolling over and burying my face in the couch.
'Ding-dong! There was a ringing of the doorbell at the door.
"Yo!? Coming back? Hawke jumped up from the couch and walked quickly towards the door.
