Chapter 514: Catching Up
The three streamer-like stabbing figures continued to sweep past the strange plants in the Silver Moon World, and quickly headed towards the north of the ruins of the royal city.
The moon shadow was constantly mottled under the feet of the three of them, like a smart swimming fish shuttling on the ground, constantly throwing off the scenery behind them, and approaching the end of the silver moon world little by little.
With the current realm of Su Mu and the three of them, the distance of hundreds of miles can actually be reached within one day.
Even if it weren't for the need to keep a sufficient reserve of Qi energy to prevent the pursuers from successfully finding the traces of the three of them, the speed of action at this moment could actually continue to increase.
But thinking of the so-called pursuers, in fact, the three people here also understand:
As the Frost Moon Elves who didn't want to participate in it, they obviously wouldn't take the initiative to come after Su Mu and the others. Even like the deal Su Mu had made with the two Elven Sages before, at least in the matter of whether Su Mu and the others would leave, the Frost Moon Elves undoubtedly didn't have much stubborn determination.
Therefore, in this situation, the three of Su Mu will still follow Su Mu closely, but in fact, they must only be the real planners of the conspiracy...... Papal States!
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that although the Legion Divine Machine Battalion in the Papal States relies on the alchemy armor, it is true that it can exchange less consumption for faster action speed.
But in the final analysis, they couldn't know the movements of Su Mu and the three of them at the first time.
After all, according to common sense, Su Mu and Lu Xi at this time must also try to make contact with the rest of the mission, so as to determine who is behind the scenes.
Because even Su Mu undoubtedly confirmed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes after seeing the attitude of the elf sage towards Li Ziyang.
In other words, as long as the news of Li Ziyang's appearance, the Papal States did not know it for the first time.
then the side of the Papal States at this time...... It is impossible to understand the decision in Su Mu's heart!
......
"But...... Can you really hide what you did from Maggie?"
A slightly abrupt question suddenly fell from the mouth of Li Ziyang, who had been speeding on Su Mu's right side.
Su Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was slightly embarrassed.
Su Mu obviously didn't finally understand until this moment that the little tricks he and Lu Xi had done had not been hidden from Li Ziyang, who also belonged to the ranks of geniuses.
There is no doubt that the so-called "previous practice" in Li Ziyang's mouth naturally refers to Su Mu and Lu Xi's treatment of the two elven sages.
Although on the surface, Su Mu and Lu Xi at that time seemed to have killed each other without hesitation, and even buried the bodies of those two people in the earth with the spell of the earth splitting system.
But in fact, as far as Li Ziyang, who has been in the army for many years, is concerned, he obviously has noticed it at the first time.
At that time, Su Mu and Lu Xi undoubtedly did not try to kill each other at all.
Even from the very beginning of capturing those two elven sages, Su Mu never thought of killing them.
The two elven sages at that time, although they were both severely injured by Su Mu and Lu Xi, they did lose the ability to carry out any actions in a short period of time.
However, Su Mu's final burial was not to erase the bodies of the two, but to ensure that the two were still alive, and would not be easily discovered by the Papal States.
Otherwise, the blazing blade in Su Mu's hand was undoubtedly a better way to clean up the traces.
At the end of the day...... Although after coming to this world, Su Mu has already learned the so-called decisiveness in killing, and he clearly understands how ridiculous it is to be merciful to the enemy. But as long as anything itself has not deteriorated to the point where it must be solved by killing, Su Mu will never put killing in the first place.
And so far, Su Mu still hasn't given up on the Frost Moon Elf.
Therefore, Su Mu deliberately left the lives of those two people, using such a subtle and risky move in exchange for some kind of opportunity that might be obtained.
Therefore, at this moment, when Li Ziyang finally broke Su Mu's thoughts.
Su Mu could only be slightly embarrassed, not knowing how to explain this behavior to his current ally Li Ziyang.
However, what is completely different from Su Mu's imagination is that after Li Ziyang suddenly punctured Su Mu's behavior, he did not question Yu Su Mu's approach.
In today's situation, it only reminds Su Mu that he needs to be more vigilant.
Then in Su Mu's blank gaze, he still looked at Su Mu a little strangely, and then he gently revealed a vague comment from his mouth:
"Perhaps, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess...... The reason why I am willing to follow you out of the Empire!"
......
However, at the same time that Su Mu and the three of them were moving forward rapidly, a group of figures wrapped in alchemy armor also appeared in the ruins of the city where Su Mu and the three of them had been hiding before.
The clear bloodstains in front of him, as well as the remnants of Qi energy that still reverberated in the air, seemed to clearly illustrate...... Su Mu and Lu Xi seemed to have gotten the answers they wanted, and now they had directly erased the captured Frost Moon Elves and fled from this location again.
But just like Li Ziyang's worries, and just like Su Tong's judgment about who knows Su Mu best.
Among the group, the slender figure in the special armor at the head of the group had already raised a cold mockery under the mask of the armor after ascertaining the freshness of the blood stains with his fingertips.
If Li Ziyang's understanding of Su Mu is still based on witnessing Su Mu's behavior, the Holy Maiden of the Papal State named Maggie, she has already penetrated Su Mu's true heart.
I have already seen through it clearly...... Under Su Mu's interest-first appearance, there is still an extremely gentle heart!
As a result, the specially made slender wings of Aioros also stretched out from behind the delicate armor worn by Maggie like gorgeous dragonfly wings.
No one would have imagined that Maggie, who had always only shown herself as an agile knight, would also be a real spellcaster, a powerful spellcaster who could easily drive the alchemy blade.
And with the fluttering blades under the shadow of the moon, it is clearly showing a hideous beauty.
A violent wind also rolled from Maggie's side, directly tearing apart the peace of the earth, and suddenly completely lifted the dirt under the ruins.
Then the two elven sages who were seriously injured and hid underground were also clearly exposed under the silver moon and also exposed to Maggie's mocking gaze.
Regarding Li Ziyang's sudden addition, about the real deeds of Su Mu and the three of them, about the things that Su Mu had already guessed, and even more about the choice Su Mu made in the end.
All these messages at this time...... After all, it was completely exposed to Maggie's eyes.
......
"There is no alternation of day and night in the Silver Moon World, so the way to identify one's location is naturally not based on the movement of celestial bodies, but only by relying on information on the ground. ”
In the previous exchange with the Elven Sage, Lu Xi had apparently learned about the method of identifying the location as well.
Otherwise, in the endless moonlit wasteland in front of them, Su Mu and the three of them would not be able to determine it with the naked eye...... Did the three of them move in the desired direction?
"According to the two elven sages, in fact, the so-called Silver Moon World is not a relatively complete whole like the Parilloa Continent. The Silver Moon World itself is completely like half a continent cut off by the waist. The closer you get to the so-called Trail of the Moon, the denser the vegetation covers, and the farther away from the Trail of the Moon, the more desolate and dilapidated it becomes. ”
"And the moat called the Trace of the Falling Moon seems to be the source of all the vitality of this world, and it is also the wound of this world that has been cut off by life. So in fact, the entire Frost Moon Elf Clan, they will also subconsciously choose a location that is closer to the Trace of the Falling Moon, but not too close, to establish a city. ”
"The Trail of the Falling Moon seems to the Silvermoon World what the Abyss is to the Continent of Paroloa, making people curious about its mysteries and at the same time terrified of its own incomprehensibility. ”
When Lu Xi said this, he suddenly stopped and leaned over gently, and quickly probed into the soil with a faint Qi energy, and used Qi energy to sense the direction of the plant's rhizomes.
Then, after confirming some facts, he explained to Su Mu and the others again:
"Because of the influence of the Moonfall Trace on this world, all the plant rhizomes in this world will actually unconsciously extend in the direction of the Moonfall Horizontal. Therefore, the most convenient way to confirm the direction is to follow the extension of the rhizome. ”
"The direction the rhizome points to is the northernmost point of the Silver Moon World, and it is also the so-called Trace of the Falling Moon...... The location where it really exists. ”
......
One after another, the swift phantoms didn't care if there were any plants in front of them, and cut off all the plants and trees, and then stabbed in a certain direction with great sharpness.
Just like the impression of the whole world of the Divine Machine Battalion, they are the most suitable troops in the world for rapid raids, and they are also the most terrifying army in the collective action.
The gentle shadow of the moon hadn't even had time to illuminate the magic lines on the metal armor.
The armor with the wings of Aeoros had already thrown off the moonlight that had just fallen, and it had already pierced into a farther place.
And compared to the actions of Su Mu and the three of them, who still needed to consider the balance of Qi Energy, the alchemy armor that could use the Delusion Beast Qi Core as a backup driving energy source undoubtedly did not require the controller to pay too much price at all.
Each armor controller only needs a very small amount of Qi energy to maintain the operation of the magic circle, and as for the powerful kinetic energy and the huge consumption of Qi energy, they will all be borne by the high-level Qi core that has been prepared for a long time.
As a result, the countless metal lights and shadows like ghosts are like unstoppable blades, not only easily cutting through all the obstacles in front of them, but also tearing the distance in space between the distant target and their own group.
Su Mu and the three of them were caught up by the Lijiao Shenji Battalion, and it was only a matter of time after all.
The only thing Maggie seems to worry about now is ...... Before Su Mu reached the Trace of the Falling Moon, would he make other unexpected moves?
......
There is no doubt that in terms of understanding Su Mu, Maggie is indeed far beyond the imagination of others.
Maggie has already seen through Su Mu's tenderness to this world, and she also understands more sharply, Su Mu's bones are out of the box and playing cards out of common sense.
Since Su Mu chose to leave the lives of those two elven sages, it was impossible for Su Mu not to have a minimum estimate of the huge risks that would follow.
And in order to deal with the very likely intercourse of the Sect Formation Divine Machine Battalion, if Su Mu did not make a certain degree of arrangement and resistance, it would be absolutely unreasonable.
So as the two sides in front of each other got closer and closer to the mark of the falling moon.
At this time, Maggie's heart became more and more cautious.
However, to Maggie's slight surprise, the Lijiao Shenji Battalion that came with the line had become more and more approaching the direction of Su Mu's escape. Even today's Su Mu and his entourage, even their own traces are difficult to erase, and the trajectory of their actions has been so clearly presented in front of Maggie's eyes.
And even at this moment, Su Mu's unexpected counterattack still did not really appear.
It seemed that until this moment, Su Mu still hadn't noticed the pursuers behind him, and he hadn't noticed anything unusual under the moonlight.
Now, because of the imminent imminence of the traces of the falling moon, he has become more and more relaxed to erase his traces.
That's why it's so straightforward, leaving behind such conspicuous messages.
However, under this situation, although Maggie was obviously extremely puzzled by this overly obvious trace, she was even full of suspicion in her heart.
However, in terms of the current situation, now that Maggie has discovered the direction of Su Mu's escape, there seems to be no reason not to continue the pursuit.
And the trajectory of this movement itself is indeed so undisguised, extending straight in the direction of the trace of the falling moon.
Now, even if Maggie hesitates, she can only continue to approach in that direction.
Until...... A sassy and proud figure was standing in front of the direction of the Lijiao Shenji Battalion, looking at the people who were coming in awe-inspiring and cold.
Then, without hesitation, he suddenly summoned his iconic four rules concretely.
In an instant, countless thunder and flames, blazing wind rock walls, all brewed in every corner of his body, and it turned out to be a ...... A resolute look like death!
Behind Su Mu at this time, the still clear traces of escape still did not make the slightest stop, it was still so clear, and it continued to extend in the direction of the trace of the falling moon again.
At this moment, Su Mu was ready to turn himself into the last barrier.
In order to ensure that the only way to open the space passage is clear...... You can return to the continent of Parilloa as soon as possible!
