Chapter Twenty-Eight: Good Eyesight?
As the woman's voice that resounded throughout the Sorrowful Cave appeared, five powerful energy reactions appeared in Xue Qiong's senses, which were not far from the one he had initially felt.
Then the two sides began to collide and fight, and the terrifying aftermath of this made the entire underground cave complex tremble, and a large number of cracks began to appear in the stone walls, and at the same time, pieces of falling rocks fell from the sky...
At the same time, the roars of some humans, and the sound of swords colliding with each other were also heard. The Four Sword Saints are worthy of having deep internal strength, although there is still a long distance from the place where Xue Qiong and the four of them are, they can still faintly hear some of them.
In the face of such a situation, Xue Qiong just said: "If we don't catch up, we will withdraw." ”
Then he was the first to turn around and go back the way he came.
The final result of the battle of the Cave of Sorrow in the history of Arad was that the dark elf ghost swordsman Luxie completely went berserk and burst out with almost invincible power, and then died with the fifth apostle who was transferred to the Cave of Sorrow, Shylock.
That's why Xue Qiong said that he didn't catch up. With Shylock already present, Luxi's death was a foregone conclusion, and even if she wasn't dead now, he wouldn't die enough to break into the world's highest-level battle halfway through.
"Why!" Minette grabbed Xue Qiong's sleeve hard, "I already heard the voice of the eldest sister's head!" She's just ahead! We're going to find her! ”
"Nope." Xue Qiong cruelly refused, "With your understanding of your eldest sister's head, what kind of enemy can make four people who are stronger than Lu Kexi, plus herself, fall into a bitter battle at the same time with the strength of one person?" It's not a battlefield where we can join in, and it's starting to crumble... If we don't talk about getting there, even if we stay where we are, we will definitely die. ”
"But, but—" Minette's tears were about to burst out, "the eldest sister is still there, and since she's not worried about this place collapsing, we can too... Can't you just wait here?! ”
"Smack!" Xiao Yun slapped Minette in the face heavily, although she regretted it after the beating, and gently rubbed it twice in distress.
However, the words that came out of Xiao Yun's mouth were as cruel as Xue Qiong at this time.
"Because we're weak."
Yes, guys of the level of the Four Sword Saints, even if the entire Sorrowful Cave collapses, they don't have to worry at all. Because with their strength, even if they use the sword in their hands to knock on the rock, they can forcibly make a tunnel to the outside world. And Xue Qiong and the others are still 108,000 miles away from this realm.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a huge rock fell, blocking Xue Qiong's retreat...
"Nima is dead!" Xue Qiong burst into a foul mouth, squatted down and rubbed his head.
At this moment, he seemed to suddenly feel a powerful and irresistible force that made him feel very disgusting. Although what just happened was simple in itself, and the boulder fell in an instant without warning, it was like... This world does not allow them to go back, so they can only give up this option.
The other three were also dumbfounded at the same time, and what they were thinking about was different from Xue Qiong, but thinking that if they had just taken the opportunity to go back, instead of wasting the time they were arguing... They won't be stuck here.
Minette bowed her head like a child making a mistake... No, she's a child now.
"Lighting a torch... We kept going inside, just to avoid that battlefield. Xue Qiong stood up again and lit a cigarette for herself.
At this point, there is no need for any disputes, and it is even more worthless to hold anyone responsible. He gently touched Minette's head, and then led the way.
Go deeper into the darkness.
When the original path has been cut off when she came, Xue Qiong can only choose to try her luck and find out if there is any other way out... There was little hope, but at this point he had to make that choice, and as soon as possible, before all other possible retreats collapsed.
The bald head lifted the wailing barrier upwards and activated the energy shield, enveloping all four of them under this protection, so that they didn't have to worry about their heads being smashed by falling rocks for the time being.
-------
As the battle between the Four Swordsmen, Luxi, and Shylock began, the other forces in the Cave of Sorrow became scrambling.
First of all, the aborigines here, the giant bugs. These mentally retarded animals are extremely alarmed and then frantic at sudden geological changes. They began to run around the caverns, burrowing into every narrow hole, attacking all creatures they saw.
The Imperials and the Purple Mist had already fought each other a few hours ago. In the different caves, they constantly collide in small groups, and then until one side dies, the victorious team will not leave the battlefield and go to the next group of enemies.
As a member of the Four Sword Saints, Barn has engaged in personal heroism, and his command of the Imperial Army has become useless, and Kane, the leader of the Purple Mist Regiment, has been killed by the Four Sword Saints earlier. After the mutation, the ordinary soldiers did not receive any orders or hear anything about the circumstances of the incident, but because of this, they realized that they had been abandoned, and the shadow of death was flying over their heads, and it could fall at any time.
Fear and anger, as well as the constant blocking of passages, awakened the destructive instincts in the hearts of these human beings, and became like those beasts.
At this time, Xue Qiong and the four of them were moving in the intricate cave little by little, relying on the weak air flow blowing in the cave as an indication. Because the presence of air currents means that there is a hole to the outside world, or the existence of an underground river. And even if they finally found an underground river that still belonged to the Screaming Cave, Xue Qiong's storage space also prepared diving equipment... In short, as long as you follow the direction of the air current, you can find a way out of here.
As they moved, they also encountered several waves of Imperials and Purple Mists who were forced around by the fear of death, and even some giant insects... Under Xue Qiong's energy sensing ability, those who were relatively weak were all killed by them, and those who were stronger than them were decisively bypassed.
As they walked, they came to a large underground cavern similar to the one before, but much smaller.
"Help... Help me, save us! Please..."
As the light of the torch shone in, Xue Qiong's ears heard a already faint human voice.
Because he hadn't found energy here before, Xue Qiong's vigilance was still not strong. When he heard the voice, he fixed his eyes on...
I saw that in this big hollow, although there was no underground river or cave entrance they were looking for, and there were no giant insects, there was another surprise.
Boca, Chichilalu, Master Liu, and Liu Yi and his teammates. The five reincarnators, some seriously injured and some uninjured, all lay on the ground with weakness, rolling their bodies with difficulty from time to time to avoid the stones that kept falling from the heights.
They were all stripped of naked pigs, with many wounds on their bodies, but none of them were fatal, and they had all stopped the bleeding by some unknown means. Only Master Liu lost one ear, which was already the most injured of them all, and he was the only one here who lost an entire part.
"Hahaha! You fools!! Xiao Yun pointed at them and smiled backwards.
Xue Qiong took a few steps closer, but still cautiously kept a certain distance from these people.
Then he asked, "What did you do?" ”
"Woo woo woo...," Liu Yi cried with a sad face, "I'm so stupid, really... I know the most poisonous woman's heart, but why am I so cheap?! I actually believed her once..."
"Captain Sandru." Boca's eyes still sparkled, and he didn't know if it was hatred or fighting spirit. He said to Xue Qiong with difficulty: "If I'm not mistaken, that tank in your team, that bald gentleman, should also have the ability of the healing department, right?" Please let him save us! All of us can make a pact with you that we will not attack each other! After getting out of the world, we can give you all the points too!! ”
They were deceived by Da Shao once, and when facing Xue Qiong, they obviously didn't think that he would lend a helping hand like a "good person"... Therefore, in a hurry, Boca can only choose to put forward such conditions. After all, money has to be spent.
"If I'm not mistaken..."Xue Qiong looked up thoughtfully, looked up at the roof of the cave where stones kept falling, and then looked down at Boca, before he said, "Captain Boca should also be a strengthening of the perception system, right?" Otherwise, the five of you are lying on the ground, and you are moving so slowly, how on earth did you avoid these falling rocks? ”
"I just got better eyesight, and then my math and spatial sense got a little better." In order to get Xue Qiong's help, Boca didn't dare to hide anything at this time, "I can see which rock is about to fall, and then calculate the landing point... Wait, Master Liu! Roll to the right! ”
As soon as Boca finished shouting, a boulder fell from the top of the cave and landed right where Master Liu was just lying.
It's over. Originally, Xue Qiong was still hesitating whether to save his life, but Boca's sentence "the sense of space is better" successfully pulled Xue Qiong's hatred completely, and the burning fire of jealousy made him feel very unhappy, and made him make a decision immediately.
Xue Qiong's poor accuracy is because he has a bad sense of space. In addition to this congenital deficiency, which is often reflected in combat, he is not good at finding things, and his talent for geometry and mathematics is also very poor.
For example, if you can't find a tool right under your nose in your room, and when you go to the supermarket, because you know your weaknesses, you don't look for anything by yourself, but ask the salesperson directly, and even if you are looking for something, you often can't see it right under your nose. And when he was in school, he skipped all the questions of solid geometry.
So Xue Qiong didn't show his thoughts, but he knew his Xiaoyun and bald head very well, and had already begun to look at Boca with a kind of pity.
If you don't die, you won't die...
"Oh? Is it just that the eyesight is better? Xue Qiong smiled, and in a tone that seemed to really care, he said something that he actually thought had lost its meaning, "This place is at least twenty meters high from the top of the cave... Is it the ability to adjust the focus of the eyes? ”
