Chapter 25: Death hangs by a thread

With a "poof", Wang Xu bounced up from the rosewood Taishi chair, grabbed the back of the chair, and put the Taishi chair into his space ring, and then, taking a deep breath, shouted at everyone sitting on the ground: "Stand up quickly, the damn one is here again, you have to escape!"

"What's wrong?" Sangu was the best person in the team, and in just a few minutes, he had already regained half of his strength, "Is there still a human skin banner?"

"No!" Wang Xu took a step forward, pulled up Warren who was sitting against the wall from the ground, and shouted in his fastest voice and loudest voice: "Another mechanism has been activated, starting from the top, the floor disappears layer by layer, and I don't know how deep it is underneath, anyway, if the floor under our feet disappears, then we will be miserable!"

Wang Xu is still kind-hearted, he doesn't want to watch these people die tragically, in fact, he himself is not very afraid of the disappearance of the floor, he can fly with a sword, even if the floor disappears, this really leads to the center of the earth, he is not afraid, he can easily fly in mid-air with a flying sword.

However, the others did not have the ability to fight Wang Xu, and if they fell, they would surely die.

In addition, Wang Xu's Taoism is shallow now, even if he wants to use a flying sword to escape with everyone, he can't do it, he has tried to use a flying sword to lead people in the past, but failed, his flying sword can only support himself to fly, even if he wears more heavy armor, the flying sword can't fly, let alone bring one more person.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry......" Wang Xu walked all the way from the front of the line to the rear, helping the knights who were already exhausted and could hardly get up again.

Sangu also followed Wang Xu to help, and helped the knights sitting on the steps of the stairs with him.

There was a lot of confusion around, mixed with all kinds of sounds, there were people complaining, there was the sound of the heavy armor worn by the knights crashing into the metal, and even the sound of the wind, but despite this, Livka, who had already fainted on the metasequoia door panel due to the exhaustion of her mental strength, was not woken by the noise around her, and still collapsed motionless on the door panel.

"Carry her!" Wang Xu waved his hand and beckoned several of the strongest knights, and instructed them: "You guys carry it first, and then change people when you get tired later!"

The sound of "click, click, click......" changed from small to loud, and everyone looked up in the direction where the sound overhead was coming from.

Under the light of the peachwood sword, I saw that not far overhead, step after step of the floor slab disappeared into the curved wall, and the volcanic ash that had accumulated on the floor for more than a thousand years was like a waterfall, and it was roped down.

"Hurry!" Wang Xu took out a few more glowing peachwood swords and sacrificed them, these peachwood swords flew to the bottom of the rotating staircase, illuminating the road dozens of meters below the team, "If you don't want to die, run away!"

"Click, click......" The team of knights in heavy armor began to run quickly towards the bottom of the stairs with a rhythmic crisp sound.

"I'll go!" Wang Xu scolded angrily, and he saw that one of the knights, instead of running down with the procession, stayed where he was, collecting the body of the knight who had been cut in half by a human skin banner.

"You!" Wang Xu ran in front of him in a few steps, stomped on his chest, and stomped him down the stairs, and before he could get up, Wang Xu rushed to his side again, and with another kick, he continued to roll down, and after rolling more than a dozen times in a row, Wang Xu stopped stomping him, bowed his head to him who was very embarrassed at his feet, and scolded in a low voice: "Wake up, idiot! I know he is your comrade-in-arms, your friend, but if you are so naΓ―ve, then you will be the next to die!"

The knight who finally stood up, after listening to Wang Xu's words, also understood that he had done something stupid, he performed a knight's etiquette to Wang Xu, and then, with tears in his eyes, he took one last look at the corpse of his comrade who was cut in half in the distance, turned around suddenly, and ran into the team.

Wang Xu ran at the end of the line, sometimes looking back at the disappearing floor above, sometimes at the fast-moving team in front of him, and sometimes controlling the peachwood swords that illuminated the way forward for the team.

Livka, who had already fainted from exhaustion of mental strength, was still lying on the thick metasequoia wood door panel, which was carried by several knights in the team, and jolted downward with the team.

Warren is an old magician after all, although his mental power is quite strong, but his physical strength is completely unable to keep up with everyone, and after only a few steps of running, he gasped, and even, he was about to fall tired.

Seeing that Warren was about to die, Sangu, who was originally running beside Wang Xu, jumped from the back of the line to the front in a few steps, leaned over and picked up Warren, and continued to run.

After running for a few minutes, the earth senior magician Thornton was also gone, and his physical strength was basically exhausted, although the senior swordsman Downs had some contradictions with Thornton in the pursuit of Livka, but after all, both of them were nobles of the Griffin Kingdom, and they both had the creed of nobility, that is, they would never give up their comrades.

So, Downs jumped in front of Thornton, leaned over and carried him on his back, and then continued to run.

Thornton, who buried his head behind Downs, whispered in Downs's ear with tears in his eyes and a little crying, "Thank you, brother!"

The sound of "click, click......" is getting louder and louder, which means that the place where the floor slab disappeared is getting closer and closer to the team, that is, the team is still not running down fast enough.

With a "whoosh", a massive mass of objects, with the sound of metal crashing, fell from above, along the gap in the middle of the spiral staircase, and fell into the endless abyss.

Wang Xu saw what the object was, and everyone saw that the object was the body of the knight who had been cut in half.

The place where the floor disappeared was already where the team had set off, and everyone knew that they had to run faster.

The sound of "click, click, ......" grew louder and louder, and the knights ran faster and faster, sparks rubbing between the metal boots and the obsidian floors under their feet.

Finally, the sound of "click, click......" became quieter, and the knights understood that they could only live if they continued to run at this speed.

The team had been running, for an hour, and the riders were tired, more tired than ever, but they didn't stop, and this desperate environment really pushed them to their full potential.

Gradually, Sangu, who was carrying a man on his back and running a little hard, fell from the front of the line to the back.

"No," Wang Xu, who was also at the end of the line, continued to run, turned his head to look at the sweaty Sangu, and persuaded in a low voice: "I'll carry it for a while." ”

"No," the bull-headed man Sangu's bull temper came, he squinted at Wang Xu, snorted coldly, snorted hard, and after squirting out a lump of snot visible to the naked eye, he gasped: "I can still keep running!"

Warren, who was carrying Sangu behind his back, opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't carry me, I can also run, let me run for a while." ”

"Just you?" Sangu smiled contemptuously, gasped twice, and smiled with a trembling voice: "Forget it." ”

Listening to Sangu's words, Warren sighed helplessly, looked down at his white beard, and he also understood that his physical strength was really not good, and he had better not make trouble for others.

"I said," Sang Gu squinted at Wang Xu again, and saw that Wang Xu's face did not change, and there was not even a trace of sweat on his forehead, so he asked suspiciously: "Aren't you also a magician, why is your physical strength so good?"

"Oh," Wang Xu thought for a while, and finally decided to tell Sangu a secret of himself, "Actually, I'm still a fighter." ”

After speaking, the steel long sword held in Wang Xu's right hand emitted a faint yellow light, which showed that Wang Xu was a seventh-order demon fighter, only one order lower than Sang Gu, who was an eighth-order demon fighter.

"I say," Sangu gasped for breath and scolded a little breathlessly, "how can you kick a knight in heavy armor into the air, you ...... it"

Before he finished speaking, Sangu was tired and almost tripped over, and when Wang Xu saw that he was dying, he reached out and grabbed Warren's collar, pulled it to himself, and carried Warren behind him.

"I'll carry it for a while, you recover," Warren's white beard swept right on Wang Xu's face, Wang Xu twisted his neck, shook off Warren's beard, and continued to whisper to Sangu: "You run ahead, don't go behind here, in case something happens in front, you can still deal with it, after all, you are the fiercest and strongest here." ”

"Hmm!" Sangu replied, nodding at Wang Xu, without the burden of Warren on his back, he was obviously much more relaxed, and ran to the front of the line in a few steps.

After running for another half an hour, Wang Xu was a little hungry, he took out a Bigu Dan from the backpack system and stuffed it into his mouth, and then, with a full burp, continued to run behind the team.

"Wang Xu," Warren, who was behind Wang Xu, finally found an opportunity to talk to Wang Xu alone, how could he let go of this opportunity, "What do you think of Livka?"

"Huh?" Wang Xu understood what Warren meant when he heard it, after all, Wang Xu was born on the earth as a human being, although he majored in pharmacy back then, but he had also seen some of the thirty-six strategies and Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Wang Xu felt that Warren, the old boy, had obviously seen that Livka was seducing him, and after seeing this, he also mentioned the name Livka in front of him, so his motive was not so simple.

One possibility is that he is helping Livka test his attitude to see if Livka has a chance to catch up with him.

Another possibility is that he is using Liv cards as a bargaining chip to make a deal with himself!

What kind of deal is it? Wang Xu thought for a while, and also came up with a few answers, Warren's purpose is nothing more than to help him find the forbidden spell mage Sauron, or, if he wants to join the griffin kingdom by himself, it should not be a simple purpose like buying medicine, after all, the chips in Warren's hand are the extremely beautiful Livka.

"Say whatever you want to say," Wang Xu didn't answer Warren's question, but asked him directly about his motives, "What kind of deal are you going to make?"

"Hey......" Warren shook his head, sighed, and took another deep breath before saying, "You're the wisest person I've ever met, and I can't hide anything from you." ”

"Oh," Wang Xu didn't care about Warren's praise, he had seen too many tragic characters who were praised and killed, he never cared about anyone's praise, only the motive and purpose behind the praise, "I guess, do you want to exchange Livka for my loyalty, and want me to serve your griffon kingdom?"

"Ah," Warren shuddered as he listened, and asked in Wang Xu's ear with a trembling voice, "How do you know?"

"Guess. Wang Xu replied casually, and said in his heart, do you want me to tell you that I don't know your purpose at all, the sentence just now is just to test your motives, but you are stupid and fooled, and tell your true purpose.

"Finished?" Warren asked, confused.

"Uh-huh, that's just guessing, hehe. Wang Xu replied with a more unnutritious nonsense.

"Yes," Warren finally began to say in his heart, "if you can serve our griffon kingdom, then Livka will be your wife, and you will at least be given the title of Marquis." ”

"Give me some time to think about it. "Wang Xu used delaying tactics, and said in his heart, I am the prince of the elven kingdom, no matter how bad you are, you have to give me a prince, a little marquis wants to buy me, are you stupid.

"How long are you going to think about it?" Warren asked after him, he must test Wang Xu's attitude.

"Before you leave the Eastern Continent, come to me again, and I'll give you the answer then. Although he said this, Wang Xu didn't think so in his heart, he felt that with the strength of Warren's team, before he found Sauron, he would probably be all dead, so how could he have a chance to find himself again.

"Well," Warren sighed, knowing that he couldn't find anything out of Wang Xu's approach, "I'll ask you again then." ”

"Huh. Wang Xu smiled slightly, squinting at Warren behind him.

After that, Wang Xu and Warren talked nonsense for another hour, mainly about magic theory, compared to Wang Xu, who had read all the magic books of the elves, Warren's little magic theory was similar to the mathematical theory learned by kindergarten children, and it was pitiful.

However, what level of theory Warren talked about, Wang Xu also talked about what level of theory, and Warren didn't pay tuition, so Wang Xu didn't need to tell him some more esoteric magical theories.

After running for another two hours, it should have been almost twenty kilometers underground, and everyone, including Wang Xu, was about to collapse.

At this moment, a knight at the front of the team suddenly shouted: "I see it, I see the bottom......"
