"Master, the food reserve can last for many days."

Erin befriends a local cave elf, and while jumping up to grab its tail, she reports to her master:

"But how do we give it to them? If you take something out directly, it will definitely arouse suspicion. ”

At this time, Xia was inspecting the items that the black-clothed little Lori had taken out, most of them were processed cooked food, such as whole skewers of cured meat, compressed food boxes, etc., and there were even symbols of various countries on them, which were the delicacies they had collected when they were wandering around the continent of Faense before.

"Buzz!"

The cave elf made a sound like a fly and circled around Erin, teasing her so that she wouldn't touch her.

"Stephanie and Erin can't hold anything too big, otherwise they wouldn't be suspicious if they took out a whole boar or something, and it's really hard to get their hands on it."

"Don't you care about these people and watch them starve to death?"

"No, that's not going to work."

Xia Yi was a little difficult.

If you want to talk about the way to get out of here, she has it.

But this method has something to do with the lich, and it will take at least ten days for it to work, and she can't do it herself.

Ten days of hunger and thirst were enough to drain the life force of a person, and by that time, all the surviving Imperial troops, including Timos and Bernie, would die here.

"Meow ......"

Polly got up from the ground and stretched slightly.

"Are you awake, Polly?"

Natsu brought a compressed box containing seafood to her:

"Let's eat something first, otherwise I won't have the strength to cultivate for a while."

Polly sniffed the box curiously, but couldn't smell what was inside because it was so well sealed.

She wagged her tail and opened the compression box to find that it was filled with marine fish and shrimp. Saliva immediately flowed.

"Polly doesn't seem to be starving during this time."

Xia watched her taste the seafood without delay, and felt some comfort in her heart.

If it is still the same way of eating in the past, it means that she is still not well taken care of in Sadara, in that case, it would be a strict mistake to decide to send them away in the first place.

"Master, there are still some crevices in the rocks. It's not completely closed, and you won't be suffocated inside. ”

The black-clothed little Lori inspected the surrounding rock masses and flew back to report the results of the investigation to the master.

"That's good."

Natsu looked at the rudimentary air canisters she had made herself, and asked the black-clothed little Lori to put them away.

The origin of this thing is simply unexplained, so it's best not to use it.

"These are the specialties of the Empire."

Pointing to some of the food that had been picked out, she said:

"It's going to take a moment for you and Erin to put them all on the other side of the rock, and pretend that someone is hiding military supplies, anyway, those officers are dead and there is no proof of it, and Timos and Bernie don't know who did it."

"The question now is ...... How to tell sù where they are hiding their belongings. And without arousing suspicion? ”

She curled her chestnut hair through her fingers and sat on the ground thinking.

……

"Hey, don't you feel ...... Feeling stuffy? ”

Some of the soldiers undressed and lay down on the ground to rest, but then all woke up.

"Timos, we seem to be in big trouble."

Bernie tugged at his collar and said profusely:

"Although this space is not small, the air doesn't seem to circulate much, and we will be suffocated to death if we continue like this!"

Timos was still the same as before. It didn't look anything unusual, but fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"You can try to get through some of the shallow rock walls. See if there's an area of air flow behind you...... But spell detection can't find such a place......"

Speaking of this, the two suddenly glanced at each other and said in unison:

"Leah!"

At the beginning, the girl who was a childhood friend once said that she saw the flowing wind element, so she must be able to find a place with fresh air!

"What are you doing by calling my name?"

Natsu, who had been waiting for the opportunity, walked out of her place and said in a cold voice.

"Leah, can you do us a favor?"

Bernie jumped over in a hurry. Explained the current situation to her.

"It's easy, wait for me a while."

Xia didn't lose his temper anymore, nodded and agreed to the request of the two, pretended to inspect it everywhere, and finally pointed to a rock wall that looked very solid and said:

"There should be air movement behind this. I can sense the active wind element. ”

"-Let me come!"

Bernie walked to the front of the rock wall, his greatsword in hand, and unleashed a swift blow.

"Bang!!"

Unexpectedly, the rock wall, which looked very heavy, was cut down in one fell swoop.

“…… So fragile? ”

Bernie slung the greatsword back over his shoulder, wondering.

"Judging from the gap, this place is less than fifty centimeters thick, and it is mixed with dirt, and the veins have been cracked."

Timos observed the rift and felt very lucky:

"Thanks to Leah, we've found this weakness."

He paused suddenly:

"If possible......"

Xia secretly gave an order, asking the black-clothed little Lori and Erin to recover the things that were covered in some gaps, restore the smooth flow of air, and then walked to the gap and said:

"Don't think about it, the rock up front here is still so thick that I can't find such a weak spot anymore."

She drew her sword to widen the gap, and then worked with Bernie to smash the remaining obstacles, which Timos was unable to participate in due to his sword.

"Whew—it feels so much better."

After the air was recirculated, everyone felt that their minds were clearer, and Bernie gasped heavily, and was about to praise Miss Leah, who had saved everyone, when suddenly his nose shrank and his stomach growled.

"What smells so good?"

He stooped down and burrowed into the back of the rock wall.

After a while, a cry of surprise came from inside:

"Hey! Timos. Leah! Come and see! ”

The two of them went inside one after the other, and saw a mountain of compressed food boxes inside, one of which was smashed by the crumbling rubble, and an enticing fragrance came from inside.

"Haha, this is a specialty of our hometown, fried dried fruits!"

Bernie picked up the compression box on the floor. When the lid was opened, there were a lot of oily purple fruits, several of which had been broken by the impact, and the box was full of rich juice.

"Wait a minute."

Natsu stopped him from putting the fruit in his mouth.

"Ha, ladies first, I almost forgot about it."

Bernie embarrassed and put the fruit back:

"Leah, come and try one, this thing is delicious."

Natsu ignored him.

I saw her take out a piece of paper from her waist bag, a small tool, and finally get a small piece of white crystal and put it on the paper. Start testing there.

"She's testing drugs."

Timos was the quickest to react: "The origin of these things is unknown, maybe there is something wrong." ”

"That's right, it looks like I'm fainting from hunger."

Bernie, who came from a family of regular soldiers, immediately woke up to this taboo on the march and hurriedly put down the box in his hand.

"No problem."

Xia randomly selected a few boxes for inspection, and worked on them for a long time before putting away the paper and tools:

"We don't know where the food came from, but it's safe. There is no poison in it, and it looks fresh. ”

"No need to ask. It must have been some miscellaneous scrap that had withheld the marching rations and secretly hid here! ”

Bernie gritted his teeth and said:

"It's not easy for the brothers to endure the wind and rain every day, and it's not easy to eat a hot meal, and it's just too ...... for these bastards to fight these supplies It's ......"

His vocabulary was poor and he didn't know how to express himself.

"Anyway. This man must have died in the basement, and now these things are just saving us. ”

Timos's face was also ugly.

For the Harlem Empire, which was strict in its military management, such a thing was a great shame.

"There's some water bottles here."

Xia took a turn in this not very wide passage, took out a few bottles from the corner, and began to continue testing:

"Don't be stunned. Hurry up and call everyone, many people have been hungry all day. ”

"You're right."

Bernie slapped his head and hurried out.

"Leah, thank you."

Timos looked at the busy girl squatting on the ground, and there was something else in her gentle eyes.

This kind of look is no longer like looking at a sister who grew up with him...... It's about an appreciation for women themselves.

Xia felt a shiver behind his back, twisted his waist uncomfortably, and continued to work with his head down.

"Food, water, air...... These problems were solved with the help of Leah. ”

Bernie touched his bulging belly and said:

"Now there's only one critical question left, how do we get out of here?"

"Find a way to open up the belly of the mountain before the food and water run out."

Timos struck everywhere with his rapier, making a clanging sound:

Or...... Wait for someone to come and save us. ”

He straightened up in disappointment.

The rocks were solid, and Leah was right, it was just a fluke, and there was no way to find a second fragile rock wall.

"There are no tools in the camp to dig mountains, and only Leom has those large equipment."

Bernie stood up from the ground, and the sword of "Poof" was pulled from the ground:

"But we can't get in touch with that side at all, and there's no way to wait, Daniel's bastard will never make a big deal about our disappearance, and send an investigation team to search for us so far away."

"So, we can only wait to die?"

He scratched his head and said:

"Damn, I'm not married......"

"Don't be discouraged!"

Timos whispered:

"We are the commanders of those soldiers, and even we look downcast, how can we give them hope?"

"The food can last more than half a month, and we still have a chance."

He rested for a moment and started banging around again, still not giving up looking for a way out.

However, as time passed, not only did they not find an exit, but Bernie's sword, which was the pioneer of the excavation, was broken in two, and the efficiency became more and more efficient, and everyone's expressions became more and more desperate. (To be continued......)
