Chapter 387: Mixed Feelings
"Dangdang Dang!" This time, the knock of the 'Extreme Taste Worm' was obviously much more impatient than before, and it seemed to be urging Li Zijun to hurry up and get on the road!
"Let's go, let's go!" Li Zijun laughed and put the 'Extreme Taste Worm' back into his purse, and began to move forward in the rain.
Worried that he would collapse to the ground again inexplicably, Li Zijun adjusted his direction a little and began to run forward desperately, which was also to get out of touch with the pursuers behind him as much as possible.
In the next five days, Li Zijun tasted the five flavors of 'extremely bitter', 'extremely spicy', 'extremely salty', 'extremely fresh' and 'extremely astringent'! Each time he suffered twice as much as the previous one, which also gave Li Zijun a new understanding of his endurance!
The only thing Li Zijun is fortunate about is that except for the first day, the 'Extreme Taste Worm' has not tortured him twice in a day after that, which also ensures that he has not been really caught up by the pursuers behind him.
"Little thing, what else can you do to take it out! Today you will either kill me, or I will kill you. Come on!" After being abused by the 'extremely astringent' for a long time, Li Zijun was completely furious! He threw the small bamboo tube containing the 'extremely astringent worm' in front of him, and pointed at it angrily and angrily.
"Bang!" the small bamboo tube suddenly opened in response.
Although Li Zijun said it arrogantly, in fact, his heart was still full of fear, and it was such a subtle voice that actually scared him into taking two steps back unconsciously.
The 'Extreme Taste Worm' seems to have grown a lot in the past two days, and it took a lot of effort for it to come out of that small bamboo tube. It has an arrogant chest. With the attitude of a winner, he walked two back and forth in front of Li Zijun.
Suddenly. Li Zijun seems to have seen a very humane smile in the eyes of the 'Extreme Taste Worm'!
And what he couldn't understand was in this smile. It is full of complex emotions such as pride, appreciation, and happiness!
Just as Li Zijun was about to take a closer look at the 'Extreme Taste Worm' in front of him, a pair of transparent thin wings with a slight glow of color suddenly unfolded in its body.
Flapping his wings lightly, the 'Extreme Taste Worm' had already teleported into the sky, and after circling around Li Zijun's head, it disappeared from his field of vision!
"So fast!" With Li Zijun's eyesight, he couldn't see where the 'Extreme Taste Worm' flew to, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he looked at the sky.
"Rustle, rustle!" Just as Li Zijun was looking around, trying to find the traces of the 'Extreme Taste Worm', the footsteps of many people walking through the forest came to his ears!
"It's really getting faster and faster!" Li Zijun glanced in the direction where the voice came from, and he shook his head helplessly.
These days. Li Zijun tried all kinds of ways to try to get rid of the pursuers behind him, but it didn't take long every time for them to reappear in Li Zijun's perception range.
According to Li Zijun's idea, as the route was gradually lengthened, the number of pursuers should decline rapidly. After all, the vast majority of them were ordinary soldiers, and it was impossible for them to maintain such a full body all the time!
Contrary to Li Zijun's previous prediction, although he kept changing the direction of his progress and setting up various illusions to confuse the pursuers behind him, the pursuers behind him not only did not decrease, but there was more and more trend!
These circumstances have been made clear to Li Zijun. In addition to managing the army well, this Ziqing general who was in charge of commanding and tracking him this time was also extremely good at jungle warfare!
Not only that, but the increase in the number of chasing soldiers behind Li Zijun also shows that Gladys is bound to win him this time. More of his elite have been transferred to his direction. This will inevitably make his next escape path more and more difficult! Li Zijun even suspected that Gladys was mobilizing a large number of troops to take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain. Surround this forest.
With such an idea, Li Zijun didn't dare to stay here too much. He quickly tore his changed clothes into several pieces and tied them to several of the beasts he had captured. After letting these beasts go. Li Zijun forcibly used his true qi to restrain all the breath in his body, avoiding the direction of the beast's escape and running wildly.
Li Zijun found that this was the most effective escape method he could take at the moment! However, his physical state at the moment, especially in terms of skill, he was only at the level of a high-level swordsman at most, and he could only barely restrain his breath for an hour.
But this hour is enough for Li Zijun now, especially after the 'Extreme Taste Worm' leaves, he is confident that he can use this hour to quickly get rid of the group of hateful pursuers behind him!
But just when Li Zijun's confidence doubled, he suddenly found that the figures of Ziqing soldiers also appeared in the dense forest on both sides of him.
If it weren't for the fact that his perception hadn't diminished with the decline in his physical condition, he would most likely have come face to face with those soldiers!
"Could it be that Curtis and Uncle Walter have been captured, otherwise how could Gladys have mobilized so many troops to besiege me alone?"
"Or does she just think those two guys are still with me?" Li Zijun had to carefully comb through his recent situation after realizing that his space for movement was further compressed, in order to deduce a feasible path from these details!
Now that there are Ziqing soldiers on the left and right sides, it is only a matter of time before the road ahead is blocked! No matter how you look at it, it is not a wise move to continue to move forward!
Thinking of this, Li Zijun couldn't help but slow down, and he began to focus more on paying attention to the situation around him!
There is no end to the road!
Under Li Zijun's careful observation, he finally found a place conducive to his concealment.
Li Zijun found that one of the huge exposed roots of a towering ancient tree was not solid. After repeated calculations, he concluded that the space within this root should be able to accommodate his body at the moment!
After the ordeal of the past few days, Li Zijun, who was originally 150 or 60 pounds, has lost weight to only 100 pounds! Now it seems that thanks to this, otherwise this tree root may not be able to hide him!
Repeating the old trick, Li Zijun once again tied his clothes to several beasts. After watching them leave, calculating the time, Li Zijun returned to the ancient tree again, and after reining in his breath, he used the swamp technique to sink himself into the soil and move into the gap between the roots of the tree.
As he had predicted, the roots of the tree were just enough to plug his body, and to his surprise, the gaps in the roots were still connected to the outside world, which did not affect his breathing!
The rest depends on his luck! Li Zijun let go of all his distracting thoughts and let himself completely enter a state of meditation, just waiting for the test of the next pursuers.
When the pursuers arrived here, the swamp technique had just lost its effect, and the surrounding qiē had regained its calm.
"General, we've found a few more scents of Edlaide here, what should we do next?" said the soldier in charge of commanding the 'Road Pigs' as he ran to Gnah.
"It seems that Edlaide really has nothing to do, and he has to use such a clumsy strategy repeatedly!" Bazel pursed his lips and said disdainfully when he heard the report from the visitor.
"This is the seventh day that Archduke Edlaide has used the same countermeasures, but in terms of time, he is much earlier than the previous day. Miss Lillian, is this the normal expression of a person who has fallen for the 'Extreme Taste Worm'?" Gna frowned and thought for a while, then turned to Lilian and asked.
"I heard from the master that a person who has been hit by the 'Extreme Taste Worm' will emit an extremely pungent smell every day, and at the same time, the pain he has to endure will continue to intensify. The torment was so unbearable that no one had been able to last for three days so far! Edlaide had never been able to last for so many days. So what's going to happen next, I'm not very sure!"
"Will the skill of a person who has been hit by the 'Extreme Taste Worm' decrease?" asked Gerner, with a slightly solemn expression.
"Ordinary people will completely lose the ability to walk independently at the beginning of the 'Extreme Taste Worm' attack, and this situation will continue until he leaves this world!
"However, no one in the master's previous years has the strength of Edlaide, and I don't know what kind of impact the 'Extreme Taste Worm' will have on him!"
"In that case, the two princes, Curtis and Walder, should still be by his side, otherwise he is unlikely to be able to rely on his own strength and avoid our pursuit in time every time!" Bazel nodded self-righteously.
The guard sent back to Toscano by Madish had already seen that only Li Zijun, Curtis, and Walter were out of the city this time, and Bazel's inference was based on this situation.
"Not really!" Lilian suddenly interjected coldly.
In her impression, Curtis and Walter are not the kind of characters who can 'share hardships', so she doesn't believe that these two people will escape with such a 'waste person' as Li Zijun!
"Okay! No matter if the Grand Duke of Edlaide is alone or three at the moment, we can't let them escape from this dense forest lightly!"
"At present, the Sixth Route Army responsible for the containment is in place, and Edlaide's only chance is to slip out of the junction where the Sixth Route Army is not very strong. ”
"The order is to put a hold on to the Archduke of Edlaide, and to secure the pockets first, and then we will march slowly together. I'd like to see if Edlaide has any other way to escape?!" Gerner raised his eyes to look at the dense forest in the distance, and a little excitement appeared on his face uncontrollably.
Edlaide is the 'Dongwoo New Generation God of War', and he can be captured, and that honor is enough for Gna to enjoy for a lifetime, so it's no wonder he has such an expression at this moment. It's just that he couldn't have imagined that the Edward of his dreams would be hiding in the root of a big tree within reach in front ......of him at this time!
