Barton died.

He sacrificed himself to ensure that Ian could live. As he himself said, as many people want you to die, there are as many people as they want you to live. The people of the Peony royal family are willing to kill themselves at all costs, even if they release the strongest [ghosts]. And Barton, wanting to survive himself, forced him to let go.

But Ian's crisis was not lifted. The leap had taken up almost all of his strength, and even if Barton had given up his life, it would have been difficult for him to climb into the cave above. Now all he can do is hold on to the climbing rope and keep himself from falling. But he didn't know exactly how long he would last, and maybe he would soon have to go to see Patton.

Below was the crunch of countless chains intertwined. Ian saw that [Gornis] was writhing wildly, and the majestic force caused it to tear chain after chain out of the rock wall. With each tear off, Gornes was less bound and stronger, and more chains were broken by it. The thousand-year-old blockade of the dwarves has now turned into a chain flying in the sky, and [Gornes] in the center of the chain is like a dancing dancer.

That wild and uninhibited dance made the world frightened!

There were two or three chains that were almost pressed against Ian's body. If it was a little bit more aside, I'm afraid he would end up like Patton. Just as Ian was about to try his hand at climbing up, the rope suddenly trembled, and then retracted slightly.

Ian was stunned, and soon realized that someone was pulling the rope and trying to pull him up!

There are still people alive!

The man is saving himself!

Ian was ecstatic, but he calmed down in an instant. Because he didn't know who it was, it was very unlikely that Green and Bowen would have been able to find the passage above their heads without a map. There's no way Manhe, and Ian isn't sure he'll survive. After excluding these two options, there are only two answers left.

One is Greg Thor, which is also the most ideal. The old lord is still alive, at least Ian hasn't found his body yet, and he won't have any ill will towards himself. And Greg is probably the strongest hunter in the team besides himself, and in this case, it is a blessing to meet Greg.

The second possibility is someone from the Peony royal family. Ian didn't know if all the people sent by the Peony royal family had been killed by him on the fourth basement floor, maybe there were fish that slipped through the net, or if there was a special situation like Barlow's. And from the information I got before, it seems that the people of the Peony Royal Family know more about [Ghost Town] than anyone else. It wasn't surprising that they were able to find the passage overhead, after all, they were originally with Barton.

As a result, Ian had to be on his toes. He grabbed the rope in one hand and the dagger in his arms with the other. Once he found out that the person in the cave was not Greg, but someone from the Peony royal family, he must attack in an instant. After all, his physical strength is running out now, and he will be completely exhausted if he can't complete a few attacks.

So when Ian was pulled up, the nerves in his head crumbled into a string. The first thing he saw was the oil lamp, which was emitting a faint glow, and was being placed in the corner, barely illuminating the small corner. Then he saw the person pulling the rope, petite, certainly not Greg.

But when Ian saw the man's face, he froze for a moment, and he didn't even see the man's hand stretched out towards him.

"How long are you going to be hanged, Ian. The man smiled reluctantly, his pretty face showing an unhealthy pale, "I'm about to lose it." ”

It's Ivy! That Ivy Shanelle!

Ivy pulled Ian closer to the hole. Strictly speaking, inside this small gap was a hand-dug passage, only more than a meter high, and Ian had to shrink his body when he entered. Ivy is the same, huddled in a corner, and beside her, there are guards and metal boxes, which are the equipment that Ian lost in the mines!

"I thought you were dead. ”

"Actually, I think so too. Ivy chuckled, "But I'm not dead, and that's strange to me." ”

Ian looked at Ivy's pale face with mixed feelings. He has always been annoyed that it was his mistakes and rush to make Ivy lose her life. Fortunately, she survived after all, which made Ian feel a lot more comfortable, and meeting Ivy was perhaps more gratifying than he met Grag.

"Why are you here?" Ian finally thought of what he should ask.

"Actually, I don't know very well. "When I woke up, I found myself under the mines. You, Grimm, and Bowen don't know where, but I have your knife and chest by my side. I still have a little bit of an impression of what happened before I was unconscious, but not much, so I don't know what to do, and my head is full of monsters. ”

Ian knew that Ivy was talking about ghosts. Even the most ordinary [ghost], Ivy has no concept, because she was stunned by Barton when she was in the desert, and was taken to [ghost town] and bled again, and was in a coma from beginning to end. So for [Ghost Town], she may be the only one who has lived until now and knows nothing.

Is this a kind of happiness?

"Then why are you here?"

"There's a passage down the mine that leads directly to here. "It's this passage, it's so narrow and small that it doesn't look like it's for humans." I found this passage, I didn't plan to come in, and when I wanted to find another way out, I was discovered by those monsters, and I had to come in and avoid it for a while. I just didn't expect this passage to be so long, all the way to here. I used the oil lamp you left in the bamboo basket to walk all the way here, and then I saw you underneath. ”

Ivy paused, looked into Ian's eyes, and asked softly, "Can you tell me what happened?" What about the rest of the team?"

Ian opened his mouth to tell Ivy the truth, but didn't know how to speak. Ivy looked at Ian's expression, as if she understood something, sighed softly, and said nothing.

"Let's get out of here first. Ian whispered, "Go back to it first." If you can, find Bowen and Green first, the current situation is really beyond our control. ”
