The escalator leading to the underground passage is narrow and steep, making it difficult for two people to go down side by side, and if you are not careful, you may fall, although it is only about five meters high, but there are also many dangerous elements in it.

But this did not bother Suwen, who first fell quickly to the middle of the escalator, and then raised his hand to support Laetitia's outstretched feet. From this point of view, Su Wen could just see what was under the latter's skirt, but he didn't care about it at all, he only cared about escaping for his life - the mental blow caused by Shirley was so strong that it was difficult to describe in words, which caused him to have no energy to pay attention to inconsequential details.

As his feet stepped on the dirt floor, Su Wen suddenly let go of his left hand, which was almost dragging Laetitia's full body weight, and the latter let out a slightly panicked soft cry, and then Su Wen caught it steadily. Holding the half-elf maid's waist, Su Wen only felt that her weight was too light, and then despite her futile struggle in his arms, he put her feet on the ground in the passage behind her.

"Wait here, I forgot something. ”

Su Wen said, and then jumped up the escalator like a monkey, turned over and returned to the room, rushed to the desk in three steps and two steps, and took the transparent jar on the table. Well, Su Wen swore that it was just a mistake, after all, the saint must have a mistake, and he admitted that he really almost forgot about this liquid contract partner, but fortunately, when he entered the tunnel, he suddenly remembered that this did not lead to a worse result......

Back in the tunnel, close the trapdoor, and you can't see your fingers in the darkness without any light source.

"Let's go, this secret passage leads directly out of the city. ”

As he spoke, Su Wen shook the jar in his hand, and the liquid in it rattled, and then it actually lit up with a faint light. It's just that the light is dark green, and it's so faint that the narrow tunnels are reflected like the world of a horror story.

Laetitia stared at the jar, as if sensing that it was not a simple glowing liquid, but a slowly wriggling mass of life.

"What is this?"

She asked softly.

"Slime, I took them as pets. Su Wen didn't shy away at all, he shook the jar in front of Laetitia's eyes again, and didn't stop until the fluid inside was swayed, "It's cute, this kind of little animal is often seen in adventure novels, and it is also very popular in the ghost * animal literature of the last era, and even more developed a secondary creation of a slime or something, which is really very interesting." ”

These are all the experiences of Su Wen who has been in the library for half a year, condensing his rich experience and wisdom. At this time, seeing that his maid was rarely interested in his own things, he naturally would not miss this opportunity to redeem a certain degree of favorability, so he introduced it knowingly: "This creature can transform freely, the soft slime can wrap any object, and it can change into the desired shape everywhere, so it can wear multiple hats in the plot of the training, and is widely loved by everyone...... Eh, Laetitia, wait for me, I'm not done yet!"

Seeing that the half-elf maid was silent and turned her head and walked towards the depths of the tunnel, Su Wenming confessed that she had missed this rare opportunity, so she had to sigh softly and hurriedly followed. But before Su Wen could catch up with Laetitia, a voice of disgust came from the front.

"Stay away from me. ”

As a result, Su Wen's sigh became even more desolate.

Laetitia really has a deep grudge against herself, and even if she wants to win favor with something she is interested in, it is not so easy to do.

But in her heart, Su Wen still hopes to have a good relationship with Laetitia, after all, in addition to always being vicious when talking to herself, this half-elf girl can do everything that a maid should do, which Su Wen can only describe as very satisfied.

It seems that we can only find a way to do it slowly in the future.

......

The ventilation effect of the tunnel is very poor, especially this time it is still two people who pass through the tunnel.

Therefore, after only walking a distance of more than a kilometer, Su Wen suddenly noticed that Laetitia's figure in front of him was a little swaying, and at the same time, her breathing became more and more rapid.

This is obviously a symptom caused by lack of oxygen, Su Wen himself has a strong physique, and he can forcibly endure it, but Laetitia, as a half-elf with thin blood, really did not inherit any noble bloodline of her ancestors except for her appearance and the characteristics of elf ears, so she is no different from an ordinary human weak woman, and it is not surprising that it is unbearable to endure the poor ventilation in the tunnel.

But thinking that there was still more than half of the journey, Su Wen felt more and more uncomfortable.

This passage goes deep into the ground, and most of the vents are blocked or squeezed out of shape, and the effect is not one, at most it relies on some narrow gaps to ensure the slow circulation of air. Normally, Su Wen walked through by himself, and the oxygen was just enough, but even so, when he came to the end, he would feel short of breath and tightness in his chest, but he didn't expect that this time he rushed through with Lyticia, and the air here would be consumed so quickly!

Su Wen looked up at the extremely limited space around him, and secretly cursed in his heart why the original owner of the authentic place didn't cultivate the wide point, so that there would be no shortage of oxygen. But no matter how much he cursed, Su Wen couldn't change the embarrassing situation that he and Laetitia had walked to the middle of the underground passage, and the air was so muddy that it was barely fit to breathe.

It's unlucky, it's really stuffed with cold water!

As time passed, Laetitia's walking speed became slower and slower, and she eventually had to hold on to the wall around her to move slowly. And just as Su Wen was thinking quickly about how to deal with the lack of oxygen, she suddenly found that she finally couldn't support it, her body suddenly lost control, and she fell backwards softly, and the back of her head was about to collide with the ground covered with stones...... The sudden change frightened him to stop thinking immediately, and he quickly rushed forward and stretched out his arms, and finally caught Laetitia in a dangerous way.

At this time, Su Wen's brain was already bruised, and he knew very well in his heart that this hidden passage, which seemed to be a shortcut, had unknowingly become a dangerous area that could kill people! Remorse for neglecting the details and apologies for Laetitia welled up in his heart, but Su Wen knew that he must not stop at this time - in this kind of place where the earth should not be called ineffective, there is only a dead end if he stops moving.

And it is impossible to return the same way, at this time I have already gone halfway, and I can only rush to the end of the tunnel!

Laetitia, who was being held by Su Wen, had fallen into a semi-comatose state, her breathing became very rapid, and through the faint fluorescence emitted by the slime, Su Wen saw a faint fear in her half-open eyes. He had no choice but to pick up the half-elf maid who was as light as nothing by the waist again, but this time there was no resistance, and Laetitia was only half-leaning on Suven's chest, looking at her with some incomprehensible look in her half-asleep.

Su Wen knew what to do at this time, and he reached out and patted her face as fast as he could, holding Laetitia towards the end of the tunnel as fast as he could.

"Hey, don't fall asleep, you're going to die. ”

"Hmmm......"

Laetitia's voice was soft, Su Wen had never heard such a soft voice in the mouth of her maid.

"Come, bite my arm, the harder the better. ”

As he spoke, Su Wen put his hand holding the slime jar in front of Laetitia's mouth, and the latter was not polite at all, and directly bit it down with all his strength. Silently enduring the pain in his arm, Su Wen felt Laetitia's teeth pierce through his skin, and blood was slowly seeping out.

As the air in the tunnel became more and more turbid, the two of them breathed faster and faster, and soon changed from once every two or three seconds to two or three times per second. Especially Suwen, who struggled to navigate the tunnels, his physical strength was difficult to replenish with oxygen in the rapid consumption, and more and more fatigue and fatigue piled up in every inch of muscle, but even so, he still tried his best to slow down his breathing - the oxygen in the air was constant, and the more he breathed, the greater the danger for Laetitia.

Fortunately, there were places in front of him that he had not walked before, and although the air was still very turbid compared to the outside, it was not enough to completely suffocate Su Wen.

And after sprinting for nearly ten minutes in this stumbling process, with the help of the slime light in his hand, he finally felt the existence at the end of the tunnel. It's just that by this time, the force of Laetitia's bite on Su Wen's arm was already invisible.

"Whew...... Call...... Leticia, don't fall asleep!"

In addition to the excitement, Su Wen, who was groggy in his mind, subconsciously looked down, but he was almost half frightened to death. He slapped the half-elf maid in the face again, but the latter was completely unresponsive. Su Wen couldn't care more about it, he raised Laetitia's arm, and then bit it down hard without hesitation, with the pungent blood flowing out, the girl in his arms finally had a slight reaction, her body trembled with a very light amplitude, and her closed eyes also opened a narrow gap.

"Wake up, we're almost there!

Su Wen was overjoyed and sprinted faster than just now.

Of course, the tunnel is not a flat river, the artificially carved walls and the barely one-person high ceiling are full of edges and corners, Su Wen ran all the way down and didn't know how many times he was bumped, but at this time he had turned a deaf ear, and there was only the exit hidden in the darkness in his eyes.

It's closer......

It's closer......

Finally...... It's here!

Su Wenyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt that his physical fitness had already exceeded his limit, although it was only a short three-kilometer narrow tunnel, it was even more uncomfortable than trying his best to sprint for 20 kilometers. Su Wen's lungs were tingling, and there seemed to be countless subwoofers buzzing in his brain, and until now he was a little incredulous, why just passing through this poorly ventilated tunnel would have such a feeling of playing with his life.

Yes, the air in the tunnel, from the halfway point of the walk, inevitably consumes too quickly, right?

didn't have time to think carefully, and rushed to the end of the tunnel, Su Wen saw the row of high escalators on the wall, and had an urge to burst into tears. Without any pause, he climbed up like a wolf with Lyetia, who had fallen into a coma again, and when he slammed open the semi-closed door with his left fist with all his strength, the flood of fresh air made him feel as if he had rushed into heaven at the bottom of hell......

It's good to be alive!

Suven laughed and sent Laetitia out.

The maid, who had long been unconscious, rolled in the dense weeds of the woods, as if she had fallen asleep. The sunlight cast spots of light through the dense forest, reflecting on her body and face, as well as on her lips, which were extraordinarily purple from the lack of oxygen, making her look pitiful.

Su Wen followed to the ground, slumped in the grass and gulped in the fresh air, glad that he had finally rushed to the exit when he was about to lose his support. Although Su Wen's clothes had long been scraped and tattered, and there were still a lot of blood stains from the wounds that had been scratched, for the first time in the past six months, he felt that his breathing was so free and refreshing.

However, this hearty feeling did not last long.

Because Suven soon discovered that Lyetia, who was lying next to him, was still unconscious, and there was no sign of waking up at all......

――Dividing Line――

At the same time, in an empty alley in the city of Tridis, the blue-haired Shirley was smiling sweetly, gently placing her slender white palm in front of a cracked crack in the corner of the wall. In her hands, a pale green magic array appeared flickering and flickering, and the sound of whistling wind rushed out from this gap, but due to the obstruction of the magic array, not a single bit of outside air could have a convection with them.

In other words, under Shirley's manipulation, the air that passes through this gap is only in and out.

"Sister Shirley, it's too much trouble to evacuate the air in the tunnel, why don't we just kill him?"

By Shirley's side, the well-behaved robe little Lori stared blankly at the sound of the wind coming from the cracks, and suddenly asked.

Then, she was gently patted on the head by Shirley.

"Of course, I did it for other purposes. Shirley didn't look back as she spoke, but her voice was gentle and majestic, as if she was reprimanding a naughty child, "It's you, Lulurui, are there only two creatures in your eyes that can be killed and can't be killed?"

"If you think it's troublesome, you just kill it. The little Lori in the robe pursed her lips, although she couldn't see her face through the hood, but her expression at this time must be very stubborn, "Really, why did Sister Shirley let Lu Rui keep her hand just now, obviously such a weak little insect can be shot to death with a little effort!

"It's a pity that the world is a lot more complicated than you think, and there are many people who can touch your head like this. Shirley shook her head helplessly, she waved her hand, and dispersed the wind magic array in her hand, and the crack that had lost the formation block suddenly began to inhale because of the air pressure gap, "There are always those who you want to kill but can't kill after touching your little head, such as my heinous cousin." ”

Hearing Shirley mention the terrible red-robed figure, the robed little Lori who was squatting on the ground suddenly hugged her head tightly with her hands as if she was having a nightmare, trembling.

"Oh, Sister Shirley, don't mention that guy, I ...... I'm going to cry!"

Then, with a "wow", she literally cried. And in the desolate whimper, a large area between the legs of the little Lori soon became wet, and the whole body trembled violently as if there had been some embarrassing change......
