Tear and pull!

A twisted claw was severed and fell to the ground, making a sound similar to metal hitting the ground, and Lilia took the opportunity to close the door against it, but the owner of the claw did not feel pain or fear, but became even more frenzied, and kept hitting the door with force, each impact would make the carved wooden door that was originally a work of art pop out some fragments, hitting the students who were desperately trying to resist the door in the face.

"Okay?" Lilia slammed her shoulders against the door, panting as if she had drained the air in her lungs.

Although Anatis tried very hard to reach the goal, the injury on her foot did not allow her to exert her full strength - although even if she was intact, physical strength was never her strength, so her efforts were better than nothing, and the burden was still completely on Lilia's shoulders.

"It's coming, it's coming!

Elsewhere in the room, Bellendeen and Pomorro pushed an iron platform in the direction of the door, their faces flushed with all their strength, but the heavy iron platform still moved slowly, rubbing against the ground and making noise as if to laugh at their inadequacy.

It took half a minute for the two of them to finally come to the door with the iron platform and block the door.

As soon as the door was blocked, all four students collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, not only because of their physical exertion, but also because of the tension that had been accumulating.

The crashing sound was still loud, and the students knew that this was not the time to stop and rest, and they didn't know how long they could stop the monster behind them, so after just over ten seconds, the four of them stood up with each other in their arms and quickly left along the passage at the back of the room.

Again, as before, Boromo led the way, Bellendeen helped Anatis in the middle, and Lilia dragged behind.

The four of them hurried as fast as they could, and their faces were no longer the excitement and joy they had when they first found the secret passage, only nervousness and solemnity remained.

Originally, they thought that they could quickly leave this terrible underground world through the secret passage, but they didn't expect that three monsters they had seen before suddenly appeared on the road and attacked them, and they were not at all afraid of Lilia's sword as before.

Fortunately, the restraint of the Crosssword was still there, which allowed them to avoid casualties under Lilia's cover, but the feeling of death at any time made them feel an unimaginably heavy pressure, and they were almost out of breath.

"How many more ways are there?" Lilia asked aloud, gasping for breath.

"According to the layout of the shadow house and the secret passage of this size, we should also pass through a place like a storage room and utility room, and finally come to the underground workplace, which is the last node of the secret passage, and then we can go straight to the outside. ”

Pomerro's breathing was not light, but he still tried his best to tell the others his judgment and cheer them up.

The four of them walked silently along the secret passage quickly, and soon they heard the cacophony of wood breaking behind them and the grinding of heavy objects against the ground, and knew that the monsters had broken through the obstacles and were chasing after them.

Thankfully, Pomorro was right this time, and before the monster could catch up with them again, they entered a large storage room, where various shelves and tables provided them with a wealth of materials, and soon blocked the door to enter again, buying them some time.

"The door is here, the door is here......"

Pomoro groped on the wall facing the door, and after a while he found the switch and opened the secret door on the wall.

"Let's go, let's go......"

By the time the blocked door began to crash violently again, the four students had already entered the secret passage and headed for the last node that Pomorro had spoken.

However, it didn't take long for them to hear some strange noises.

"It's gunshots. Pomorro affirmed, "From the direction we're going." ”

The sound of gunfire represents battle, but it also represents people.

Having a gun is undoubtedly one of the situations they want to encounter now, after all, guns are still one of the most powerful weapons in the world, which will undoubtedly give them some sense of security. As for the possibility of danger, aren't they dangerous enough now?

The students immediately rushed towards the sound of the gunshot, but no matter how anxious and unwilling they were, the shot disappeared soon after—even if they risked attracting the monster and shouted loudly.

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, they finally reached the place where the shots rang out, and all they saw was a mess of the aftermath of the war.

"Oh my God!"

Anatis covered her mouth and looked at the corpses lying on the ground in disbelief - it was the first time she had actually seen a dead person so far, and the other three were doing much better.

Pomoro walked briskly over to the nearest corpse, crouched down to examine it, got up and shook his head at the others: "Not long after we died, it was the same group that caught us in front of the main tower. ”

"Let's get out of here, they've probably run into that monster too. Lilia glanced at the room, which resembled some kind of workplace, and immediately decided, "Which way are we going?"

"Wait, I'll see, this is the last hub node of the secret passage, there are many passages connected here, I need time to figure it out. Pomorro looked left and right and said his opinion.

"How much time?"

"Thirty minutes at least. ”

"There's no time. Lilia shook her head, "The monsters behind could catch up at any time, there may be other monsters, it's very unsafe here, we don't have that much time to squander, we have to move immediately." ”

"What then? If we take the wrong path, we could go around the underground cavern or simply crash into the horde. Pomorro disagreed with Lilia.

As for Anatis and Belin Dean who consciously stayed by the side and did not express their opinions, compared to Lilia, who is the main combat power, and Pomero, who understands the environmental structure here, they are secondary personnel, and can only wait for the final result discussed by these two people.

Lilia knew that Pomorro's opinion was correct, but now that the time was too urgent, it would be dangerous to stay for one more second, but Pomorro's opinion could not be ignored.

She paced around a little irritably, wandering around at random, her brain racing fast, hoping to find a better option.

Suddenly, something swept out of the corner of her eye, and she quickly trotted to the corpses of the Thorn Barrier personnel and examined several corpses.

"Yes, you see, these corpses don't have guns, not even bullets. ”

Pomorro came over to take a look, and then suddenly said, "Sure enough, those monsters shouldn't take away the equipment that only humans use, then only their companions will take it, and there is only one possibility for this to happen, that is, these living people have a certain amount of preparation time when they evacuate, and they are not chased by monsters and run away in a panic." ”

"That's it, since they have time to pack up their companions' belongings, they must have also chosen the path to evacuate, and it is likely that they also found a way out and went there. ”

Pomorro continued with Lilia's words, "Then we just have to follow them, all right, I'll find out which way they are going at once!"

This discovery can be described as a bright flower, Pomorro immediately went to work with full motivation, and Lilia kept looking around the environment, thinking about what to do if a monster came out of a certain place, although it was only a few hours, but this high-intensity pursuit and escape and the surprise attack that could appear from a certain angle at any time had made her develop a vigilant sense of always paying attention to her surroundings.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, Lilia let out a coquettish cry towards an open door to the right of the room, and as she had just swept her gaze, she saw something that resembled the fluttering corners of her clothes.

A young girl's head slowly stretched out, and when she saw Lilia, she was suddenly startled, blinked in disbelief, and then turned her head to look at Anatis next to her, and then ecstasy suddenly surged over her face, and rushed towards Lilia and them.

"Lilia, Anatis, it's me, Melissa, Woo Woo, finally seeing you again...... Whining...... Great......" Halfway through the run, she couldn't stop crying.

"It's Melissa!" Anatis cried out in surprise and limped up to meet her.

Lilia lowered her sword, her face beaming with joy.

After a while, the three girls hugged each other, crying and laughing, and making a lot of noise.

After a long fuss, Lilia reacted and asked, "How did you get here?"

"Oh, I came with Brother Dior. Melissa replied honestly.

It turned out that it was not only Lilia and the four who heard the gunshot, but Melissa, who was hiding not far away, also heard it, she was waiting to be frightened, and after finding that there was no movement there, she waited for a while, and did not see Dio come to pick her up, so she swallowed fear and touched it, but Dior and Dion did not see it, but met a lost friend, and immediately forgot everything happily.

It wasn't until Lilia asked that she remembered it.

"My brother?" Lilia was stunned for a moment when she heard this answer, then grabbed Melissa's shoulders and asked urgently, "What about others?!"

"Alas, alas, pain!!" After all, Lilia is also considered to be a martial arts practitioner, and her strength was not well controlled under the excitement, and Melissa, who was caught, immediately let out a cry of pain.

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention all of a sudden. Lilia noticed this, and quickly retracted her strength, helping Melissa rub her shoulder.

"It's fine. Melissa shook her head, then looked left and right, and then said strangely: "Before, Brother Dio and the leader of the group of people who grabbed us on the ground heard the movement here and came to see the situation, I hid behind and waited for news, and then the gunfire stopped, and I couldn't wait for them to come and see, and I ran into you." Hey, you didn't run into Brother Dior either, would he?"

"I didn't run into it. Lilia said sullenly, and after a while, she suddenly said hatefully: "I know, he must have followed that group of people and forgot about you, or simply on purpose, he has been like this since he was a child, it must be." She clenched her left hand into a fist and slammed it on her palm, reinforcing her affirmative tone.

"Brother Dior isn't that kind of person, is hesitant?" said Anatis with some hesitation.

Melissa agreed with Anatis's words: "Well, Brother Dior is definitely not such a person, he has protected me all the way here, and he will never leave me like this!"

"Hmph, that's because you don't know what he's done in the past......" Lilia was disdainful of the two friends being confused by her brother's mask.

But at this moment, a dark shadow swooped down on Lilia from a dark spot not far away.

"Be careful!"

Lilia's vigilance has not been relaxed, and she reacted immediately, pushing away the two friends, holding the hilt of the sword beside her, raising the sword high above her head, and then violently slashing out against the black shadow.

The silver-white light formed an arc moon in the air, splitting the black shadow into two in the air, and the black shadow that was divided into two halves fell to the ground, and it was the kind of monster that pursued them.

Just as Lilia wondered why the monster had been slashed by her sword so easily, a burst of applause rang out from the darkness where the monster appeared.

"The action is beautiful, I give this full marks, but it's not good to say bad things behind other people's backs. ”

In the familiar voice, a person slowly walked out of the darkness.
