Chapter 075: The Price of Strength (4)
"Haven't you finished yet...... Where does this passage lead?" In the dark crypt passage, Rex muttered, since he and Charlotte entered, half a day has passed, and there are twists and turns on the way, I don't know how many forks in the road, I originally wanted to confuse the pursuers, but in the end, I got myself lost.
In the passage wide of two people, the fireball on Rex's palm is the only source of light, in this unknown tunnel hundreds of meters deep underground, the sunlight naturally can't shine even a trace of it, as long as the fireball on the palm of the hand is extinguished, it will immediately usher in a pitch black that can't be seen.
Thump!
Rex led the way, walking, but there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and suddenly, Rex hurriedly turned his head and said in amazement, "What are you doing with ice cubes, hey, don't scare me!" A lunge rushed out, Rex hurriedly picked up Charlotte's body from the floor, only to see that Fang just fell, her magic robe was covered with dust, Charlotte didn't care about this, and said slowly, "You better go first." While speaking, Charlotte pushed Rex's body, however, now that she is in a weak state, she doesn't even have the strength to push people, on the other hand, Rex's situation is not much better, under the light of the fire, her face is also pale and pale, and she has been running for a long time without sleep, plus the two are in this seemingly endless tunnel, and the bad environment makes the spirit of the two advance to the limit.
As soon as he stopped, a thick tiredness immediately hit, and suddenly, Rex gritted his teeth and said, "Rest, take a break for a while, fortunately, the route of this tunnel is complicated enough, even if they chase in, it is not so easy to find us." Charlotte leaned against the wall, her voice as thin as a gnat, and said, "Rex, you don't have to worry about me, you ???? A person who runs away has a better chance of survival. Although the voice was faint, but in this silent crypt, Rex naturally heard it clearly, and suddenly, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Don't be stupid, don't look at me like this, in fact, I am almost unable to walk, not for you to stop and rest, this is also for myself." With that, Rex leaned his back against the wall and sat down slowly, "Don't talk, let's take a break and leave in ten minutes." Actually, Rex really wanted to let Charlotte rest longer, but when he thought that there were people chasing behind him, he couldn't sleep easily, and a ten-minute rest time was already a luxury at the moment.
"......" saw that Rex's tone fell and entered a meditative state, Charlotte didn't say more, and at this time, her eyes were closed, and she also entered a meditative state.
※※※※※※※※※※※※ step... Treading ......
Stomp ......
"!!" The faint sound of footsteps came into her ears, and in the midst of meditation, Rex opened her eyes suddenly, and at the same time anxiously shook Charlotte awake, and whispered in her ear, "Wake up! Let's hurry up! They are closer!" As he spoke, Rex couldn't help cursing in his heart, how did those guys track down their location? Even if you make fake footprints, the other party can't catch up at all!
There was no time for Rex to think more, and as soon as Charlotte woke up at this time, he directly hugged Charlotte horizontally, which is the so-called princess holding position, and then, the magic power in his body worked, and his body flew out of the depths of the crypt.
"They're in front! Hurry up and chase!!" At this time, an angry voice came faintly from behind him, judging by the sound, there was at least a distance of more than three hundred meters between each other, but Rex was in this closed passage, considering various environmental factors, he couldn't tell the distance, all in all, just escape!
When she escaped, for fear of disturbing Rex, Charlotte didn't dare to make much movement, only to see her body struggling slightly, which said, "Let me down, I can go by myself!" She was not shy, but distressed, Rex flew with her, which undoubtedly intensified the consumption of mana.
Misunderstood Charlotte's mind and thought she was shy, and suddenly, Rex grinned???? grinned and said, "Bear with me, the other party is chasing after you, and now there is no time to put you down!" The other party has already sped up, and it is currently a situation where it is possible to catch up at any time, at this juncture, Rex does not dare to waste time.
Rumble!!
Just as Rex finished speaking, he was unguarded, and there was a rumbling explosion behind him, and then the sight of the two suddenly brightened, but at this glance, it was a raging flame rushing up from behind.
"Bastard!" Gritting his teeth, Rex unleashed his magic, and in an instant, a dark brown wall of earth rose from behind him, blocking the flames.
Can Rex not curse, he is not a monster like Erin, on the way to release the magic, his flight speed will definitely slow down, once the speed slows down, this gives the other party a chance to catch up.
Knowing that this was an enemy attack, Charlotte, who was in Rex's arms, suddenly spoke up, "Rex, you concentrate on flying, and I will resist the attack from behind." Halfway through her words, Charlotte had already started to move, only to see that under the effect of her water magic, a large piece of ice crystals condensed out, blocking the passage.
Once is not enough, Charlotte has been blocking the passage with layers of solid ice two or three times in a row, and even if she can't stop the other party, at least she can delay for some time.
"Well done!" Rex complimented, focusing on flying, as long as the opponent's speed was delayed by Charlotte, then he would definitely be able to pull away!
Bang!
Not long after, a popping sound sounded from behind, and when he heard it, Rex knew that this was Charlotte's first layer of ice that had been shattered, and at this point, he had also judged the distance between himself and the other party, and Mo was about two hundred meters!
Bang... Bang... Bang bang!!
Again and again, the sound of the ice being shattered kept coming, and each sound was like a crash in the heart, which made people's hearts shake and be extremely nervous.
At the same time, listening to the sound of smashing again and again, Rex could judge the distance between the two sides, however, it didn't take long for him to be stunned, only to see his face frightened, and he couldn't believe it: "Impossible! The other party's speed has not slowed down!?" Yes, according to Rex's judgment, the distance between the other party and him has been maintained at two hundred meters, and this is a very incredible thing, after all, there is a solid ice behind him, and the other party will be delayed no matter what, however, the truth is not what he imagined, five times, Ten or twenty times have passed, and the other party is still behind 200 meters...... There are even faint signs of closing the distance!
