Chapter 170: The Outside World Is Dangerous

readx;? In the deep and long underground tunnels. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ian was holding the unconscious Phil and slowly walking in the direction of the fluorescent hall. And as time passed, he felt that his pace was getting slower and slower, and the movement of lifting his feet became more and more difficult, as if his body was slowly being petrified, and was moving towards eternal condensation little by little.

"Is it too big?"

A wry smile crossed Ian's lips with difficulty.

At this time, in his eyes, the world had turned gray, almost lost all color, everything gradually tended to stagnate, and even the lightest smoke and dust were frozen in the void.

It should have been an extremely common image for him, who had spent a long time in solitude in such a world since he had sneaked through the Sage's Gate.

Only this time it's different.

This time, he himself slowed down as well, and became slower and slower, as if this still, silent world had stretched out its claws to truly capture him into this world, and completely become a member of the eternal stagnation of the world.

The tunnel back has become incredibly long, and Ian can't reach the end of what could have been crossed in a few minutes. Even in the end, he suddenly found that he could no longer feel whether he had any traces of a step.

He realized that the problems that had been accumulated by him had finally exploded. In the battle with Assathys, endlessly breaking through the limits and urging the power he shouldn't have, after all, accelerated his pace to the "end". At this moment, he had already crossed the critical point without his own control, and he could no longer suppress the infinitely accelerated sword intent.

The countdown to his life began to begin in earnest at this moment.

In this race between life and death, he is almost equivalent to losing.

The only thing he had left now was how long the potion would last, and how long he would last?

Phil's body is getting hotter and hotter, but Ian can't do anything about it.

He only knew that it had something to do with the girl's supreme strength, but he didn't know how to save her and bring down this deadly heat for her. He hated his ignorance and powerlessness, and it was clear that she was suffering so much, but all he could do was take her to a relatively safe area, and then he could only resign herself to fate.

Ian hates to be left to fate, but that's the only option left. Because his condition is also not good, and he is on the verge of collapse at any time.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for was that the cracks in Ian's body seemed to have been clotted by blood, so that he wouldn't lose too much blood. Even if the time consumed on this road became longer and longer, from minutes to hours, to days, weeks, months, years, he could still take the girl in his arms to a safe place.

I don't know how long later, a tall stone pillar appeared in front of Ian's eyes. He managed to smile a little, glad that the tunnel hadn't collapsed due to the previous earthquake, and that he had finally reached the place.

The outer walls of these spiral staircases are a strange crystal. Like the top of the Falling Star Tower in the Northern Regions, it looks transparent from the inside out, like glass. From the outside in, you can only see an ordinary rock formation, and you can't see any brilliance inside.

Ian slowly approached the pillar, groping his way to the hidden portal, then pushed it away with great effort, moving his body into the brightly lit hall.

He placed Fei'er on the ground, looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he used the last of his strength to close the door again.

At this moment, the originally tense consciousness dissipated instantly, and Ian could no longer support his body, so he fell directly on his back and fell into a long coma.

Northern Regions City, Sin District, in the early afternoon.

Aurora stood on tiptoe, climbed onto the table, and looked out of the window.

Today, she was once again locked up at home by her Aunt Susan. And the reason why my aunt didn't let her go out recently was always that it was too dangerous outside.

The little girl couldn't understand why her aunt always used such a reason.

The outside world is indeed dangerous. The first time she went out of the house, she encountered the traffickers in the story. But the outside world is not without good people, like Uncle Ham, like Aunt Yuri, like Brother Ian, who saved him before, and Brother Alvin, who entertained himself with a lot of delicious food, and often came to visit him later.

I wonder if Brother Ian has forgotten to help him find his father?

And in the last few days, Alvin's brother has come less and less, and every time he comes, he will always tell himself in a serious way like his aunt, that it has been dangerous outside recently, don't go out.

In this way, it seems that the outside world has been really dangerous lately.

Is there something big going on?

Or is it because of the sudden earthquake that happened two days ago?

Yes, maybe it's because of the earthquake.

After all, the earthquake was terrible, much worse than the one on New Year's Day.

The movement was so loud that the whole ground was shaking, and the house made a "squeak" sound, almost as if it was about to collapse.

Oh, it's not like it's going to collapse.

Uncle Susa's house next door had indeed collapsed.

Although I may be a little sorry for him, I really feel that it is good that my house has not collapsed when I see that tragic situation.

"Ah, Aunt Susan, why did she come back so early!"

The little girl who was thinking wildly saw a familiar figure out of the window, jumped off the table, and hurried back to the room. In a panic, she kicked off her shoes, slipped into the patched quilt, and pretended to take a nap.

A moment later, there was a sound of the door opening. Aunt Susan walked in with a solemn face.

As soon as she entered the house, she went straight to her room, came to the bedside, and gently shook the little girl who had pretended to be asleep.

"Aurora, little Aurora. Wake up, wake up. ”

"Aunt Susan?" the little girl pretended to have just woken up, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Aurora, hurry up, we need to start packing up. ”

"Packing up?" the little girl was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you packing up, Aunt Susan, are we going to move?"

"yes, we're moving, moving to Rusbell. Aunt Susan said, "So tonight we have to pack our things and set off with you early tomorrow morning." ”

"Everyone?" the little girl felt puzzled.

"Well, your Uncle Sousa and Aunt Yuri, they're all going together. ”

"Why is everyone moving all of a sudden?"

"Because," Susan smiled wryly, just trying to make up a reason to coax the girl in front of her. But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

"Who" she turned around, and immediately raised her vigilance, their house has never had many guests.

Outside the door, a slightly younger male voice came in.

"Does Miss Aurora live here, please?"

"My master would like to be able to meet her and talk about her biological father. (To be continued.) )
