Chapter 20: Escape
Run!
Xia Yan and the unicorn insect met at the agreed place, and picked up the unicorn insect and the two restrained fruits wrapped around its silk threads, and there was no unusual thing to see.
Just like ordinary tree fruits, the rich fragrance and flickering light of the previous time are all gone.
It's just that Xia Yan and the unicorn insect at this time obviously don't have the heart to pay attention to this.
At this moment, there is only one thought in their hearts.
Run!
Quickly navigating through the dense forest, remembering the path back in advance, and dispelling the aggressive spirits that might appear on the way were all preparations for this moment.
"There's a big bare tree root in front...... Then there was a bush with spikes....... And then there's a big tree that needs to be circumnavigated......"
Xia Yan's face flushed.
Almost instantly, fine sweat poured down his forehead, soaked his hair, reddened his eyes, and moistened his nose.
Not only did he need to run fast, but he also had to keep recalling in his mind all the things he had to be careful and aware of as he passed by.
It's a test of both physical and mental strength.
Soon he had to use his mouth to breathe, and his chest was like a bellows.
That is, he trained with unicorns during this time, and in order to set an example for unicorns, he insisted on every day until he couldn't hold on anymore before resting.
In addition, the food during this period has improved compared to before, and the body is no longer so weak and can't help the wind.
Otherwise, even if they snatched the fruit from the hands of this group of insect elves, they would not be able to escape.
Buzz Buzz......
However, no matter how hard he ran, the voice of wild elves still came from behind him, and the first of them were two large needle bees with red eyes.
Carrying their two spikes, the thin wings behind them vibrated vigorously, gradually shortening the distance between them and Natsuhiko and the unicorns.
Xia Yan didn't pay attention to them, just buried his head and ran, or jumped, or rushed, all the obstacles that might prevent them from escaping, he easily avoided them.
But his body was also scraped very embarrassed by various branches or spikes, and he spent a lot of money to buy clothes for a short time, and he was also broken in this kind of running.
The unicorn insect lying on Xia Yan's shoulder, seven pairs of pink feet clutched his clothes tightly, and turned to face the elves chasing behind.
Hiss –
One by one, silk threads or cobwebs spit out one after another, not seeking to cause much damage, but only to slow down the pace of pursuit of these insect elves.
Glue the ends of the silk thread to the trees on both sides of the escape direction, and set up layers of barriers.
But when an elf gets too close, it spits out a power grid to restrain it.
The unicorn insect is responsible for blocking the pursuit, and Xia Yan is responsible for escaping, and one person and one elf have a clear division of labor, and they trust each other.
Xia Yan believed that the unicorn insect could definitely stop the pursuit, so he didn't pay any attention to it, just kept recalling the possible environmental obstructions and pinpointing the best escape route.
The unicorn also believed that Xia Yan could definitely take it away, so it concentrated on blocking the elves behind it, using all its strength and ability.
With their cooperation, the pursuit was not left behind, but they could not close the distance again, and the silk thread of the unicorn worm became the thing they hated the most, but there was no way to do it, so they could only hang far behind.
Whether it's the Great Needle Bee or the Big Butterfly, the fastest of the two chasing elves, there is no way to do it.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, a furious figure rampaged from behind to the front.
It's Kairos!
It finally caught up, dragging its bruised body, hunched over, its huge pincers like a sharp harvester, and all the branches, shrubs, and even the silk threads of the unicorn, could not hinder it much.
Its arrival made the unicorn feel a huge pressure.
"Whew!!" With a low roar, most of the moves fell on Kairos's body.
But neither the silk, nor the poison needle, nor the power grid could do much damage, and the pain seemed to further fuel its anger, and it was covered with surging air currents, getting closer and closer.
This is an enemy that the unicorn cannot defeat at the moment.
With the blessing of anger, let it not be ignored.
Xia Yan's running speed can't be faster than it.
"Whew!!"
The unicorn insect was a little anxious, and in the interval between the release of the move, he shouted towards Xia Yan.
It faintly regretted it.
If you hadn't entered this forest and fought for these two tree fruits, you would never have fallen into such a dangerous situation.
Xia Yan didn't have the strength to speak, so he just gave the unicorn a firm look.
And this look made the unicorn who almost wanted to sacrifice himself to buy time for Xia Yan stunned.
It was immediately reactive.
Don't panic, calm down.
Although Xia Yan didn't say it, these few words that he heard most often during training and fighting in peacetime echoed in his mind at this moment.
Believe Xia Yan, he didn't give up, there is still a chance!
The unicorn stared, and once again unleashed all of his moves at Kairos.
Even if you can't do much damage, even if you can't hinder it much, as long as you persevere, opportunities may appear.
The small eyes became extremely focused at this moment, locked on Carlos's body, calculating its trajectory and the tiny gaps in the seemingly hard carapace.
That's Carlos' weakness!
The unicorn worm's eyes lit up slightly, as if it had grasped something crucial, and the three poisonous needles shot out almost subconsciously.
Puff –
Then, under the expression of the unicorn insect itself, which was a little surprised, the poisonous needle skillfully wiped an arc, avoiding the hard carapace on Kairos's legs, and submerged into the middle of the two carapaces, under the narrow gap, the soft muscles.
"Babbling !!"
Kairos roared miserably as if he had been hit hard, his steps suddenly became very stiff, he stumbled, fell heavily to the ground, and even slid on the ground for a few meters before stopping because of his huge inertia.
It worked!
The unicorn worm's eyes lit up with surprise.
However, before it could be happy, because it was distracted by Kairos, the two large needle bees had quickly approached not far in front of it, and the unicorn could even feel the coldness brought by the sharp spikes.
Oops!
Whoa—
Suddenly, just when the unicorn thought it was going to be bad, Xia Yan, who continued to run, finally ran to the most critical place in his plan.
A stream that is not too turbulent.
This was the best place he had ever imagined to avoid pursuit!
Grabbing the unicorn insect on his shoulder with one hand, he held the two precious tree fruits in his arms with the other, took a deep breath, took three steps and made two steps, and jumped directly into it.
Plop –
The biting stream of late autumn with the chill of the night almost forced him out directly, and the inverted water was about to drill into his ears and nose, Xia Yan held the unicorn insect in his arms, curled up, and let it be washed away along the current.
And the insect elves who were chasing behind were furious when they saw this scene.
But for water, they are instinctively jealous, especially after Xia Yan submerged in the water, he disappeared directly.
The fruit no longer smells, making it impossible for them to continue their pursuit.
After wandering indignantly on the surface of the stream for dozens of laps, he could only gradually fade away with unwillingness and nowhere to vent his anger.
On the other side, Xia Yan, who was holding his breath and jumping into the water, felt the burning pain in his lungs, and after making sure that he had drifted far enough, he finally poked out of the water, dragged his somewhat numb body, and came to the shore.
Lying heavily on the ground by the stream, he put the unicorn aside.
The first time I was so watered by the unicorn insect was also startled, until my feet hit the ground again, I finally came back to my senses.
One person and one elf, looking at the two small worlds bulging out of their clothes, looked at each other......
Laughed.
