Chapter 189: A Thousand Years of Solitude (24)

"Whew-"

There was a faint sound, but it was the sound of a dagger cutting through flesh and skin that all primitive warriors were familiar with!

The temple guard, who was still talking to himself, only reacted to the sharp pain in his neck after a second or two, and at the same time, he felt that his breath could no longer reach his abdomen and lungs, so he clutched his neck and stared at the figure attacking him in front of him.

This figure was all too familiar to him, and it was the one that all the warriors in White Rock City worshipped anomalously.

Ge Kill looked at his subordinates with a cold expression, there was no trace of pity or sympathy in his eyes, and there was still a string of unshed blood on the tip of the obsidian dagger in his hand......

It wasn't until the temple guard fell down with a "whin" and remained motionless after convulsions, that all the primitives didn't even dare to take a breath...... For a moment, except for the sound of rain falling from the sky and falling on the ground, the field was completely silent.

After killing one of his subordinates, seeing that the others no longer dared to speak, Ge Kill slowly put away the dagger, and a few words popped out of his mouth coldly-

"Do what you have to do, warriors. Our task is to kill all the prey before dawn, bring the head back to the temple, and finish it before the mission is completed, even if there is only one person left. Otherwise, even if you don't get killed by your prey, I will personally deal with those who retreat. ”

Non-negotiable, unquestionable, this is the iron-blooded style of White Rock City, and it is also the consistent style of killing.

There was no way back, and the warriors knew very well what kind of temperament their leader was, and they could only hope to complete the mission and kill their opponents.

The night rain fell, and the eyes of the eight remaining fighters turned even redder.

Time back to 1 hour ago.

Panting, Zhou Dao'an, who was leaning against the big tree on the bank of the swamp, was washed away by the rain, slightly removing the dirt on his face, and then, he cleaned up the face of the answer to the question of life and death, revealing a face with closed eyes.

Zhou Daoan didn't do any useless work to probe his nose, but directly pinched the answer's jaw, the skin felt soft to the touch, and there was no stiffness after death, so Zhou Daoan immediately used force to open the answer's mouth.

A little green light flashed out of the answer's mouth, and Zhou Daoan took out the green bead with a grip of his fingers.

Then, stuck with the dreadnought song that had just passed the cooldown, Zhou Daoan chanted the answer.

After a song, the answer was already gasping for a breath, and then opened his eyes. Looking at his teammates covered in mud around him, he felt like he was in the aftermath of the disaster.

It turned out that the answer had been pondering and studying since I got the bead in the dead body's mouth. Before he devised this two-way plan, he experimented with it - when the green bead is put in his mouth, the living will fall into a state of suspended animation, unable to save themselves, and can only be awakened by others.

In this state, the bead itself can provide the holder with nutrients just enough to maintain the body's functions from weakening, but only that, it cannot extract any energy from it, nor can it maintain the external part of the body from being corroded - this is probably why the previous owner of the bead can only use it to keep the corpse from decaying, but cannot use it to prolong life.

But that's enough! Enough for them to complete this thrilling plan!

"Is everything going according to plan?"

"Yes, there was no delay." Zhou Daoan replied as the rain continued to wash away the mud on his body, "We can't stay here for too long." We didn't have time to erase the marks you left along the way, and the other party guessed that they had already guessed our plan and would rush over immediately, and we had a time difference of up to 40 minutes......"

After continuing to briefly communicate with each other's progress, the ferrymen also accurately estimated that there were only about ten opponents left at the moment.

While it seems that the move to drain the opponent's power is working, it also consumes the vast majority of their own means.

The hasty burst took at least four hours of cooling, and now only a quarter of the time has passed; Zhou Daoan's Pirate King Gold Coin and Xiaoao Jianghu Song have a long cooldown, so there is no need to count on it, and the Fearless Song has a short cooldown, but it has just been used; The quiver of the answer has been refreshed, but he has never had any large-scale and high-intensity means of killing.

The condition of these three people is to face a maximum of five or six elite fighters, and if they encounter a kill, they will definitely die.

However, the most important thing is that in terms of time, there are less than 4 hours left until dawn on the fourth day.

Picking themselves up a little, the ferrymen got back on their way and threw themselves into the rainforest.

"Huh, ha, huh, ha......"

The sound of even but clear breathing came from the rainforest. Nine primitives lined up, torches in hand, and ran quickly through the dense forest, like a plough or a grate, sweeping all the way.

The rain had stopped, and the torches stood out in the dark night. While torches illuminate their surroundings and make it easier to see the trail left by their target, they can also reveal their whereabouts.

Ke Ge still ordered these warriors to light torches and hurry! With the torches, ordinary warriors can also regain their eyesight, no longer rely on the guidance of elite warriors, and greatly increase the speed of travel!

This also means that Kill doesn't care about his whereabouts being exposed, and he has to force his speed to close the distance of his tracking, and compete with his opponent head-on.

This is not a simple reckless act, but because in the estimation of killing, these outsiders have also consumed a huge amount of physical strength after a series of counterattacks and battles. Along the way, they never encountered any traps except for some poisonous snakes and mosquitoes hidden in the rainforest!

That's what it sounds like! Even if the opponent has a jungle survival expert, it will be an away battle after all! Your own side is the master of the jungle!

He decided to spare his physical strength, believing that his opponent would fall before his side ran out of stamina.

Right in front of this row of rushing primitives, in the dense forest less than two kilometers away.

On a tall tree, a black shadow quickly climbed up the branches along the trunk, and with the advantage of climbing high and looking into the distance, he immediately caught the fire jumping between the leaves of the dense forest behind him.

Wangfeng's answer was in his heart, and he immediately climbed down from the tree in three or two steps, and said to his teammates who were resting under the tree:

"The situation is not good, we can't rest! The opponent was very close to us, and in 20 minutes at the maximum, they were able to catch up with us completely. ”

"Are they crazy? We have killed so many people, and you dare to chase after you desperately?! Before her hurried breathing subsided, she only felt that her feet were already extremely sore, and if it weren't for the blessing of the Abyss Armor, her physical strength would have been exhausted.

"We underestimated their determination to chase and kill......" Zhou Daoan said with a frown, his physical condition was also not good. Half an hour ago, he had just given the whole team a blessing of Dreadnought Song, but the one-hour replenishment of physical strength was far from worth their consumption.

They never got a break, and in the two hours that had just passed, they had less than 10 minutes of rest, and the effect of such a hurry was that their physical strength was more and more depleted.

But they didn't have a choice! Trading space for time was the only way to do it at the moment, as it was impossible for them to organize a well-planned counterattack.

Originally, they estimated the time, and felt that maintaining such a high-intensity escape speed should be able to support until dawn and not be overtaken.

But they couldn't have imagined that the "military order" set up by Ge Kill would also kill them all before dawn! At this speed of life and death, they can't compare to the jungle natives who grow here.

There was no better way, and the ferrymen had to overcome the feeling of lead on their feet, and their lungs, which were so dry that they were about to burst into flames, that they forced themselves to run.

It was as dark as ink, and it was the darkness before dawn!

No matter how the ferrymen gritted their teeth and ran, the fact was that the distance between the pursuers and them was still unstoppably narrowing.

"Can't run anymore!" Suddenly stopped.

As soon as she stopped, she bent down and put her hands on her knees, trying not to collapse.

Her physical strength was completely depleted.

"I ...... Already...... I can't run anymore. Hurriedly and intermittently, her consciousness was already a little blurred, and the high fatigue of her body caused a lack of oxygen to her brain, so that she could only rely on her will to support herself from falling.

"Go on like this...... Once we ...... Once caught up, there is no resistance at all...... I'm willing...... Fight for it! Hurriedly gritted his teeth and said.

At this moment, they don't need to climb the tree anymore, as long as they turn around, they can see the fire not far behind them. How long can they last? 5 minutes? 6 minutes? This does not help with a mission deadline of at least 1 hour before dawn.

"Run, run! I'll try to give you as much time as I can. Hurriedly gasping for breath and making up her mind, she tilted her head, but her face calmed down, "Can your song to restore your strength still work?" Give me one last time. ”

In fact, not only her, but Zhou Daoan's physical strength has also reached the limit, and the cooldown time of Dreadnought Song is still 10 minutes, but even if they force themselves to run for another 10 minutes, they may not be able to run a few hundred meters.

"I'm not running anymore...... This will not last until dawn anyway. Zhou Daoan sighed secretly in his heart. They have done their best, but they are still a little short of success.

Among the three, the only one who can keep running is the answer, if the answer chooses to continue to run for his life and leave the two of them behind, Zhou Daoan can't say any reason to object.

Gazing at the increasingly clear light behind him, the answer shook his head slightly, and he took the bow and arrow from his back and held it in his hand.

"It's a team job, and I don't think you're going to be able to delay me much longer. I don't think that with me alone, I can support it until the end of the mission. ”

"Besides, you didn't leave me in the swamp, this is a debt I owe to you......"

The tone of the answer is somewhat plausible.
