Chapter 353: The Canyon
readx;
Seeing the middle-aged man and his party disappear from sight, Dio smiled: "This time it's really earned." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Don't tell us you're going to fight those praying mantis!" the other people's faces changed.
"Am I that bored? I'm talking about a hole in the ground. Dio glared at everyone disapprehantly.
Isabel said reluctantly, "Do you have to go that way?" Anyway, no one is catching up now, so there shouldn't be any need for this, right?"
Sophia and Xue Ni also looked at Dio expectantly, hoping that Dio could change his mind, girls are born with a rich imagination, as soon as they hear the word hole, they can't help but associate with damp, dark, strange-shaped insects and rotten and moldy smells, etc., which is completely different from whether they can endure hardships and suffering, but their instinctive disgust with that environment.
"Actually, I don't have a good reason. Dio shrugged: "If I have to say it, it's that I'm worried that it's not just the latter group who are chasing us." ”
"Why do you say that?" Raymond was a little puzzled, from Dio's mouth, they all knew that the pursuers were led by a water martial artist, and there were five extreme warriors, did the Grand Duke of Montenegro think that it was not enough to deal with them with such a lineup?
Dio patiently analyzed his speculation for everyone: "According to what Morin said, the Grand Duke of Montenegro has already investigated me clearly, so I'm afraid he should also know my ability, just a water system martial artist, if I want to run, it is impossible to catch up with me." ”
Everyone glanced at each other, so it seems that there is indeed something wrong with the arrangement of the Grand Duke of Montenegro, the person who can become the Grand Duke cannot be a stupid, even the things they can think of, the Grand Duke of Montenegro has no reason to be unclear, what Dio said is likely to become the truth, and everyone's heart that is easy to let go suddenly rose again.
"What the hell is despicable!" Raymond scolded angrily: "Those guys are trying to catch you and threaten Mr., right?
"Because they can't find the gentleman. Dio smiled: "Only by catching me, it is possible to force Mr. to show up, but unfortunately, the Grand Duke of Montenegro has given himself a problem, once we successfully escape, he will lose face in front of the Sky City, and even we can't deal with it, what qualifications does he have to deal with Mr. At that time, I'm afraid the Sky City will not be on his side." ”
Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard this, every time everyone talked about this kind of topic, he would be silent, but Dio's words gave him hope, Vasily and the hatred of the city in the sky he had no ability to resolve, but at least so far, the strong people of the city in the sky have not taken action against Dio, but under the instigation of the Grand Duke of Montenegro, he may not take this extreme way in the future.
That's what Gordon has been worried about, as long as the alliance between Sky City and the Grand Duke of Montenegro can be destroyed, then the powerhouses of Sky City may not pay attention to Dio, after all, it is easy to be criticized for doing so, and the people of Sky City pay the most attention to reputation, so they will always hate Vasily.
"I support Dio. Gordon said without thinking: "Why don't you take advantage of such an advantage, it is better to attract them to chase them into the hole, according to what the man said just now, the scale of the hole is probably not small, just to get out." ”
As soon as Gordon opened his mouth to support, Sophia's girls were even more difficult to object, after all, they were not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so they could only acquiesce to this result.
The group began to walk to the southwest, and although no one urged them, everyone's pace unconsciously quickened a little.
More than forty miles away, less than half a day to walk, a snow-capped hill in the distance into everyone's eyes, if you look closely, you will find that the snow-covered tree trunks are revealing a faint red, it seems that this should be the settlement of the mutant mantis that the man said.
Since it was not clear how big the territory of the mutant mantis was, the Dio and the others went around from a distance, they didn't want to provoke those terrible guys, and they didn't wait until the night before everyone stopped to rest, cleared an open space and lit a bonfire as a temporary residence.
"Dio, I see you've been very careful about that hill during the day, do you have any ideas?" asked Gordon softly, sitting down beside Theo.
"It depends on who catches up. Dio said lightly.
Gordon frowned, "Where do you want to lead them there? ”
"Speak as if you haven't done anything dangerous. Dio laughed: "I remember the first time I saw you, you looked half-dead, and you were embarrassed to talk about me." ”
"Didn't I be young. Gordon scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then said, "Anyway, as long as we hide in the hole, it will be difficult for them to find us, why do you want to take risks?"
"I'm just in case, it's good to be able to get into the cave safely, but if not, you have to be prepared. ”
Gordon was stunned for a moment, Dio was right, he was thinking too simply, after all, he would not be able to reach the canyon until tomorrow, and it would take a process to search for the entrance to the cave, and once someone caught up during this time, things would be tricky.
The conversation between Dio and Gordon was also heard by the others, although they didn't say anything at the time, but after just resting for a few hours, everyone got up one after another, and said that the weather was too cold to sleep well, and it was better to hurry at night, at least walking could drive away some of the cold.
Dio just smiled, did not break the true thoughts in everyone's hearts, he knew very well the reason why Sophia and the others did this, obviously to prevent Dio from being alone again, and unlike Gordon, they expressed it in a more tactful way.
This time, there was no rest on the way, until it was close to noon, Dio and his party finally arrived at the canyon, looking at the thick snow at the bottom of the valley, everyone sighed in unison, hoping that the entrance to the cave was not covered by heavy snow, otherwise they did not know when they would find the entrance to the cave.
"It would have been nice if it had been spring, and it wouldn't have been so much effort. Raymond muttered as he walked, the snow at the bottom of the valley was thicker than the rest of the forest, and the ground under the snow was uneven, making it difficult to walk.
"Can you be like a man? Sophia, the girls didn't complain, just you chirped here. Gordon pushed Raymond from behind: "Let's go, look carefully." ”
"Am I complaining? I sigh what's wrong? Also, what do you tell me to look carefully? You don't have long eyes, you can't see?" Raymond's counterattack had no connotation, but it was fast enough, and the barrage of rhetorical questions made Gordon a little dumbfounded.
After a long pause, Gordon suddenly sighed: "I have decided not to quarrel with you in the future." ”
"Haha, you're finally admitting that you're inferior to me, aren't you?" Raymond laughed.
"En, I'm really inferior to you, I'm afraid that none of those sisters in your family are your opponents, right?"
Raymond suddenly asked vigilantly, "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Gordon smiled and said, "I guess they can't quarrel with you, but I never quarrel with women." ”
Raymond pondered for a while: "You say I'm a woman?!"
"I didn't say that. Gordon shook his head.
"Then what the hell do you mean?!" Raymond was furious, he hated Gordon the most, and his words were always inarticulate, which was too appetizing.
"He means you're noisier than a woman. Dio reminded him 'kindly', and then saw Raymond's fire-breathing eyes, and hurriedly added: "This is not what I said. ”
Raymond's reaction was very direct, he turned around and rushed at Gordon, but the next moment, his figure was fixed there, because from his angle, he could see that Laura at the back of the line had stopped at some point, as if listening to something.
Gordon subconsciously flashed to the side, and then saw Raymond's eyes, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and turned to look over.
"Laura, what did you find?"
"Someone ......" and then Laura added: "It's ...... Fast. ”
I have to say that it was too laborious to communicate with Laura, whether someone was about to approach here, or whether someone was coming very fast, everyone was a little confused, but the only thing that was certain was that someone was coming.
"On which side?" asked Theo.
Laura's hand pointed to the northwest.
"Keep looking, I'll see. Dio threw down the words, and then turned and ran out of the canyon.
Sophia and the others silently quickened their pace, at this moment everyone was resentful of the snow under their feet, if it wasn't for the heavy snow slowing them down, they might have been able to enter the cave a long time ago, and Dio wouldn't need to go back to lure the enemy away.
In the woods, Parik galloped along the trails in the snow, cursing the damned fat man in his heart, if he hadn't been able to catch Dio for so long, how could he have been sent here, and the best thing he should do in this weather would be to stay in a house with a stove and taste the sym of more than twenty years, rather than hurrying in the snow and ice.
Parik's speed was very fast, dragging a long black whip in his hand, and in the process of galloping, he threw out the whip from time to time, wrapped around the tree trunk stretched out in the distance, and then shook his hand, and swept across the snow with elastic force, as agile as an ape, not only increasing the speed of travel, but also saving a lot of strength.
As soon as Dio burst out of the canyon, he let out a long howl and rushed straight into the forest.
Parik's movements paused, and then a sinister smile appeared on his lips, what was this? Is it provocative? Or is it trying to lure himself away? In either case, Parik is not worried, because it just means that he is very close to his prey.
