"Then let's turn back and search?" I estimate that the target is likely to be hiding in some cave, or in the cliff wall like last time, and remain motionless, otherwise we will not be able to slip through. But searching the caves one by one is not a task that the two of us can accomplish in a short period of time. Hiding inside the rock wall, we have no problem. ”

Ramis nodded slowly again, and then stood and pondered the entire contact with the 'unknown creature', gradually realizing two suspicious points, and his eyes fell on the small waterfall not far away. "You really should have tasted that liquid on the floor. ”

"Brother, you know what it is when you hear it, why bother yourself?"

"Hmph, you're so careless and take it for granted, so you always make mistakes. Ramis first took out the elder's shelf to criticize, and at the same time subconsciously flicked his tail to show the small pride in his heart, and said the first suspicious point he found: "To give you a hint, the liquid is very thin and the taste is very light." ”

"So what?" asked Lepi rhetorically, with a little rebelliousness.

"It shows that the thing's body is very free to urinate, in other words, it is as thirsty as the pets of the people in the city. And here, it is the only source of exposed water in the vicinity. And just looking at the way that thing's mouth looks, I don't think it can lick stones like we do. ”

Lepi blinked his eyes twice, speechless, not only unable to find a rebuttal, but also intimidated by the momentum of his partner.

Seeing this, Ramis felt more proud, and the meaning of commanding his subordinates in his tone was also more. "Now, we are divided into two ways, you ambush and squat here, and I will turn back and search at the bottom of the canyon. But if I find out, I will prick up my ears when I call for reinforcements at the first time. On the contrary, don't be greedy and don't take a nap. Although it only has four rings, it is very clever and difficult to deal with. ”

"Yes. Lepi put away the unconvinced and resentful mentality that had been hidden in his heart, replied simply, picked up his weapon, and walked towards the waterhole, looking for a place to hide.

Ramis grinned, turned back to the canyon, and his pace gradually increased and turned into a wild run, returning to the cave collapse as fast as he could.

This is the second doubt that came to mind. Spatial rifts are not surprising, and are often seen in battles with other underground alien clans. But the problem is, this time the spatial rift came in a strange way.

If it wasn't for the other party, otherwise the two of them would have died long ago. And in the center of the spatial rift, there seems to be another thing. Remembering carefully, this thing seems to be similar to the bounty of the city lord,

I have to say here that a miscellaneous fish with four or five rings who does not know the magic of the gas system intends to bet that the treasure is still here. And Jiao Ming, who watched the whole process, didn't even have the leisure to try to get a hand. After all, having seen the feat of the dwarf Hicks teleporting dozens of people in a row, as well as casting small-scale qi magic several times in a row, I didn't think that she would be so weak that it would be extremely difficult to teleport a small thing the size of a palm.

Not to mention one squatting in the waterhole, one greedy to dig up treasures of two underground alien races, and Jiao Ming who missed the treasure and didn't know it. Perspective back to our fallen dwarf Hicks,

After determining that there was something wrong with the cave on the side of the rock wall, he immediately became nervous, quickened his pace and paid attention to both sides of the cliff, and in the next kilometer, he found that there was a cave every few hundred meters on both sides of the cliff, either cleverly hidden, or overgrown with glowing mushrooms and inconspicuous, or wide open. The height is randomly distributed from the ground to two or three meters, and the slightly higher ones even have faint pit steps.

At this point, Hicks had a flash of inspiration again, this cave must have some function, the achievement is internal connectivity, although the delay in the battle plan just now is greatly reduced, but it is also an excellent hiding place. After all, the other party is just two five-ring water system magic warriors, and it is impossible to search all the caves.

After randomly selecting a cave to go deeper, Hicks guessed the purpose of the cave and judged that the cave was not horizontally connected, which was undoubtedly good news. It's just that I was blind to the time I wasted climbing down when I first came here, and if I could find a hole, I would have saved a lot of trouble, and even afterwards I could avoid colliding with the transport team.

But regret was useless, Hicks dismissed distractions, concentrated on climbing the stairs, and soon came out of a hole in the middle of the cliff. Lying down and looking down, due to the irregularity of the cliff face, you can only see half of the bottom of the canyon. But now it is clear that there is no time to look for a better vantage point.

And Hicks had just been lying down for a few minutes when he saw two black dots at the bottom of the canyon walking briskly. She immediately tensed, held her breath, and retracted her head. It wasn't until another black dot disappeared at the end of the other side of the canyon that he dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

The next thing is to observe the situation and eat time, and when I eat one of the thighs of the small camel beast, I see a black dot and run back quickly. This time Hicks was more relaxed, just stopping to chew and squinting.

After he had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, Hicks was sure of what was left of his magical abilities.

The first is the most important water system: the four rings and a half. The awkward ring, though enough to withstand the foul air, unusual food, and so on, was nothing more than enough to sustain oneself through the underground alien settlements and find a way back to the surface.

The second is the gas system: a ring. This is undoubtedly a more embarrassing ring, but there is some hope in optimism.

Based on the conjecture that the magic ability of the water system belongs to the bloodline of his own family, the magic ability of the qi system should be purely from the god's pet beast partner, and the half ring that has just been left, not completely cleared, and now it has been restored to the first ring, which means that this place is not completely out of the scope of the 'Wings of Letti', but just at the border.

Then come to think of it, if you can move in the right direction, it is possible to gradually recover your magical ability, and the premise of everything is, of course, to get rid of the pursuers.

However, as soon as this action plan was decided, it was lost.

Huddled in the cave ** napping and resting, Hicks, who had regained his strength and spirit, suddenly felt a wave of spatial fluctuations appear in the rock wall not far above him. Startled, he stared at the past, but almost rolled over and fell off the cliff.

But when I listened quietly, there was no movement or spatial fluctuations, which made people wonder if it was just an illusion between half-dreaming and half-waking. As for the temptation to use magical abilities, this is obviously a stupid idea to expose yourself.

After about three or five minutes, as if the frightened critter had regained its composure, Hicks curled up again. But half of his energy was devoted to an uncertain place inside the rock wall above the slope.

And just as Hicks was confused again, the spatial fluctuations reappeared, and this time, it moved farther from its original position, and the target was about fifty or sixty meters inside the opposite rock wall.

Distant from the unknown danger, Hicks was relieved at first, then curious and hopeful.

First of all, it is not difficult to guess that something must have been moving in space to 'hurry' inside the rock formation. Judging from the intensity of spatial fluctuations, the other party is about the sixth ring. And long intervals and too short distances seem to indicate that the other person is very tired. The last point is that the other party is so 'unusual', and the only explanation seems to be that the other party is as 'unfamiliar with life' as himself.

Based on the above judgment, can we win them over as some degree of 'allies'?

The more he thought about it, the more excited Hicks became. He also compared the probability of surviving alone in a foreign land and successfully returning to the ground with the possibility that the other party was a 'madman' who could not negotiate and kill him, and he made up his mind completely.

Hicks immediately squinted at the opposite rock wall, and sure enough, he quickly found an entrance to a cave hidden by glowing mushrooms. Then measure the interval between the cliffs on both sides, your own running speed, the running distance, and the weightless floating magic, and so on, and come to the conclusion that it is 'about the same'.

Then gritted his teeth again, took a few deep breaths, threw a spear near the entrance of the cave opposite, and slowly retreated towards the cave. Finally a sudden leap.

While enduring the headache and casting the qi magic, Hicks somehow had another thought. That is, regret not bringing the remaining small camel beast scale skin, at least cover up three important places, and what kind of first impression will be left on the other party in his slick state.

With a soft pop, they reached the opposite rock wall, and several large glowing mushrooms were knocked down. Hicks secretly rejoiced, and then, following his memory, made a quick climb in the direction of the cave entrance. Communication must be obtained before the other party can transmit again.

Fortunately, there was a rush in the rock formation, and this time the teleportation interval was longer. Until Hicks first climbed into the cave, and then found the closest position to the other party in the cave ** according to the vague impression, there was still no spatial fluctuation.

Hicks no longer hesitated, and struck the side wall of the cave with his spear, 'Ding Ding Ding', 'Ding Ding Ding', in groups of three, repeating, and did not forget to pray to 'Leti'.

After about 100 strokes, that is, more than 30 groups, spatial fluctuations occurred in the interior and side of the rock formation at the same time. Hicks immediately stopped tapping and rolled on his side for some distance, his spear pointing in front of him in anticipation as he squinted his eyes and looked ahead with the light scattered by a small number of glowing mushrooms, both expectant and fearful. If a strange underworld creature comes out, it will be completely bad.

But in the next moment, Hicks almost cried with joy, and what was teleported was not only a 'humanoid creature', but also a dwarven kindred, which could be distinguished by the faintly glowing tattoos on the other party's body.

The problem is that this dwarven is not in very good shape. When he saw Hicks's silhouette, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he only said 'thirst' and passed out with his head tilted.

Hicks hurriedly moved, dragging it to the mouth of the cave, picking larger mushrooms and stuffing them directly into his mouth, then pushing his fingers down his throat. Since it can survive in the rock formation for so long, the number of rings in the water system must not be low, so there is no need to worry about poisoning. At the same time, use the light to check the status of this dwarven kindred.

First of all, it can be determined that this dwarf belongs to the black rune dwarf tribe of 'good relations', male, about the same age as himself, and he is handsome, but he does not know him.

Secondly, it is to communicate with the water system magic agent to treat and confirm the injury. The dwarf's only injuries were his severed legs, and judging from the healing of the stubble, they should be new injuries.

Of course, by the way, the strength of this fellow clan has also been roughly determined: the peak of the six rings. Hicks pouted at this, secretly feeling weird. If the other party has such strength in itself, and it is a dual line, then with the blessing of the rune tattoo, is it not a double system and nine rings on the ground? And how did such a genius come to this?

However, the relevant thoughts are only fleeting, after all, the current situation is more important, and it is forgivable for the black rune dwarf clan to hide a few geniuses. And all kinds of unexpected situations are always inevitable.

After a thorough examination of his body, Hicks still couldn't find the reason for his unconscious, but fortunately, the other party was breathing smoothly and strongly, and he didn't seem to be weak to death at all. This can only be guessed as an internal factor such as excessive use of magic, and there seems to be no other way but to wait at the moment.

After pondering the other party's situation, Hicks also realized his embarrassing state, looked at the opposite rock wall, and simply lowered his head and took off the dwarf's clothes and put them on himself. Saving grace, in exchange for this little thing, you make a lot of money.

After waiting for a few minutes, but still not seeing the dwarven come to his senses, Hicks remembered that the one he had just pronounced 'thirsty'. But in this situation, the only water source at his fingertips is not what he thinks. Hicks was helpless, holding the other party's head, and he assumed a posture of shame. It's a pity that I tried it, but I didn't squeeze out half a drop.

"The old lady doesn't urinate, so the blood is forgotten, so you can eat more mushrooms. ”

When picking the mushrooms again, Hicks noticed that the rapid climb had wiped off a large number of mushroom marks. There is no doubt that it must be transferred. Considering the needs of the same family, exploring in the direction of water vapor is the only option.

Hicks couldn't help but sigh lightly, thinking that he was a powerful ally, although he was not mistaken, but he did not expect that it would be a burden for the time being.

When the dwarf picked up his back, he quickly returned to the bottom of the canyon along the cave, looked left and right and listened attentively, and then rushed out like a rabbit out to feed, and quickly ran through the passage at the bottom of the canyon. It wasn't until two or three kilometers later that he chose a cave to hide, and by the way, he stuffed the unconscious dwarf on his back with a large amount of glowing mushrooms.

And this movement made Hicks obviously feel the increase in moisture, hesitated for a while, and made a difficult choice: leave the person here for the time being, and go ahead alone to investigate.

The consideration is also very simple, if you are alone, there is no benefit from such a risk, so you can naturally endure it. But now there is a potential master, and if he gets a water source to save him from his senses, he will have a big boost, and he is likely to sweep through the underground alien race in the surrounding area. Such a benefit, compared to the risk staked, is worth trying.
