PS: Thank you for your generous reward from 'Love Walking in the Breeze and Drizzle'! Thank you to 'linyelei1970' for your valuable monthly pass!
Listening to Lin Shu's explanation, Lao Wang suddenly thought of a question, looked at Lin Shu and asked: "Young Master, since you said that you can find Mr. and Madame, and there are pursuers behind the two, then, even if we can't see the traces left by the two on the road, we should also see the marks left by the trackers, don't they have to go back?"
"Hehe, first, we didn't follow the path they took, and second, they didn't really track the traces of my uncle and aunt. So, tracking us is the main thing. ”
Zhou Minxuan lowered her head and said with some frustration: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, they would definitely not be able to track us." ”
Lin Shu shook his head: "Not necessarily, maybe they have other means? Just like you don't know how I found my uncle and aunt, right?"
Looking at Lin Shu's mysterious smile, Zhou Minxuan was very grateful to Lin Shu in her heart, she knew that Lu Dao Lin Shu was excusing herself, of course, she really didn't know how Lu Dao Lin Shu was tracking Mr. and Mrs.
Lin Shu tried his best to alleviate everyone's pressure, especially Li Xiaoxin and Zhou Minxuan, they themselves or did not pay attention, in this kind of deep underground far from the ground, and it is also a cramped and oppressive environment, coupled with the danger that will come at any time, this kind of pressure has long been quietly infiltrating people's hearts, which will gradually amplify people's negative emotions, to deal with this potential danger, the ultimate thing is to have an optimistic mood and hope for the future.
Lao Wang glanced at Lin Shu deeply, and smiled no more.
"Okay. Let's move on. Maybe I'll be able to see my uncle and aunt soon!"
Li Xiaoxin's eyes lit up. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his steps seemed to be much brisker.
After walking for more than an hour, Lin Shu had to admit that he was still too optimistic, whether it was his own character or the luck of the enemy, his own estimation was too optimistic.
"Do you smell a salty smell?"
Although Lin Shu's nose was not as good as a demonic beast, it was also very spiritual, otherwise he would not have smelled the faint smell of blood on Zhou Minxuan's body.
When Lin Shu said this, everyone carefully distinguished. It does have a fishy salty taste.
"Could it be seawater?" looked up, but there was no sign of dampness on the smooth cave walls.
"It's not in the dirt, it's the air in the cave, in such a big cave, the flow of air must be very complicated, but I didn't smell this smell before, but now it appears, it must be different, and there are more and more mycelial insects and ants around, everyone should be careful." ”
"Oh, you mean Warcraft?" Li Xiaoxin looked around with a tingling scalp. Thinking of those giant ants, sticky magic worms and the like, Li Xiaoxin felt goosebumps pop up.
"It's hard to say. Anyway, it's right to be careful when the environment changes, right?"
"Hmm!"
"Young Master, it seems that there is a fluctuation of magic energy."
Lin Shu also felt it calmly, in fact, the fluctuation of magic energy has always existed, in the depths of the earth, the concentration of the power of the earth has also increased slightly, Lin Shu's perception is still very sensitive, the only trouble is that Lao Wang is present, Lin Shu's true qi sensing circle does not dare to open, otherwise Lao Wang can clearly feel the existence of this interference and isolation of magic energy.
However, relying on the power of the earth, Lin Shu can also perceive quite a lot of things, the only thing that is more troublesome is that the power of the earth brings too much information, so for the faint fluctuation of magic energy at a long distance, it will be drowned in the background, on the contrary, Lao Wang, who has a relatively weak detection ability, can detect this fluctuation.
Therefore, the blind pursuit of precision and long distance in detection methods will bring a large amount of information, so it is necessary to balance the relationship between the detection range and the degree of refinement.
"Not good" Lin Shu felt it carefully, and then felt a little crying and laughing.
That magic energy fluctuation should have been sent by an eighth-order powerhouse who was tracking him, the question is, when did they run to the front? Moreover, that fluctuation was obviously a battle, and the battle with the eighth-order powerhouse here should probably be a demonic beast, right.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoxin reacted quickly, and before Lin Shu's words came out, she had already asked.
"There was a battle in front of the people who were tracking us!"
"With Warcraft?" asked Lao Wang this time.
"How do I know about Lu Dao, what do you think?"
"If you fight with an eighth-order powerhouse here, it should be a demonic beast, what should we do, we"
"Hurry up, although this place is accessible in all directions, but if the battle causes a large-scale collapse, we may not be able to continue to track the traces of my uncle and aunt. ”
"Let's go!" Li Xiaoxin ran forward after speaking, but after running a few steps and stopped, she didn't know the direction of the road!
"With the fastest speed, Lao Wang, you take Minxuan with you. ”
After Lin Shu finished speaking, he quickly walked to Li Xiaoxin's side, grabbed Li Xiaoxin's slender waist without saying anything, put on the shield and rushed forward quickly.
Being held by Lin Shu's waist, his body was tightly attached to Lin Shu's body, the familiar breath strongly impacted Li Xiaoxin's chest, Li Xiaoxin was ashamed, and his face suddenly turned red, but now is not the time to be shy, Li Xiaoxin tried hard to suppress the shame in her heart, and then she found that she didn't hate the breath on Lin Shu's body at all.
The trees flew quickly, and at the same time noticed the subtle changes in the cave, the walls of the cave here were no longer so dry and hard, and even looked a little wet, of course, not the kind of watery wetness, but like the newly dug soil, the water vapor in the soil layer did not completely dissipate.
In other words, it may be a place where the excavation time is relatively short, or it may be a place close to the source of humid air.
Li Xiaoxin's vision couldn't keep up, so he had to close his eyes and use his mental power to sense, and at the same time, the feeling with Lin Shu was also clearer, which made Li Xiaoxin even more shy.
Suddenly, my body lightened. Li Xiaoxin felt like he was flying. I opened my eyes in surprise. It turned out that they had left the closed passage and entered a large cavern, which was a rather large cavern, and on the walls of this hollow there were quite a few caves, and the forest trees rushed towards one of them almost without stopping, and then burrowed into the narrow cave again.
"So, what is that place?"
"I don't know what to do. It's like a node, and there's some debris at the bottom of the hole, maybe it's a toilet. ”
"Uh, really?"
"Hehe, I don't know what to do! I don't have time to care about this now, there are obviously some traces at the bottom of the cave just now, that kind of demonic beast should be shaped like a large insect, maybe twenty or thirty meters long, not completely soft. ”
"Sounds a bit like a sawtooth worm. ”
"Yes, 10,000 times magnification is about the same. ”
"Good. It's disgusting!"
"Hehe, a lot of things in the sea are disgusting. And most of the insects are disgusting!"
"Don't say it, it's really disgusting. ”
"It's okay, it won't be disgusting when it's killed. ”
Li Xiaoxin closed his eyes tightly and suppressed his churning stomach, in fact, the feeling of nausea was probably due to the high-speed movement and constant turning of the forest tree.
"Be careful, it's going to collapse!"
Lin Shu loudly warned the old Wang behind him, the center of the vibration was a little higher on the left hand side, Lin Shu couldn't know what was going on over there, but he could roughly judge the strength of the magic energy fluctuations, and there were many opponents who were entangled with the three strong ones, because there were at least a dozen sources of magic energy fluctuations, and the strength was not too big, and it would look like a seventh-order.
But from the frequent attacks of the eighth-order guy, it can be seen that the magic defense of those demonic beasts may be quite high, and in addition, fighting in this environment, the eighth-order powerhouses can't let go of their hands and feet, but the demonic beasts can completely let go of their hands and feet, therefore, it is those demonic beasts that collapsed the cave, and it can also be seen that the wisdom of those demonic beasts is not too bad.
Lin Shu didn't say anything at the moment, he ran desperately, in the cave, Lin Shu and Lao Wang's figures turned into two streamers, and rushed towards the front frantically, Lin Shu could feel the huge pressure brought by the air in front of him, and had to run the shield at high speed, bringing the air in front of him to both sides rapidly, despite this, the feeling of moving forward in the mire was still quite uncomfortable, and it also consumed a lot of Lin Shu's true qi.
"Xiao Xin, give me a recovery technique!"
Li Xiaoxin felt the heat coming from Lin Shu's body, it was obvious that Lin Shu's energy was rapidly exploding and consuming, Li Xiaoxin opened his eyes when he heard this, stared at Lin Shu who was close at hand, and saw that Lin Shu's forehead was already sweaty, and his cheeks were a little red, and he immediately threw a recovery technique over.
Lin Shu felt a cool breeze blowing into his heart, but of course this was not enough, Lin Shu himself was also mobilizing his true qi and the power of the earth, carefully adjusting his shield technique, superimposing the fluctuations of the power of the earth in the flow, trying to break through the sound barrier resistance of the air.
Finally, Lin Shu felt that the resistance in front of him was clear, the sound barrier was broken, Lin Shu was secretly happy, Lao Wang was also surprised, it was very difficult for him to break the sound barrier at the eighth order, he didn't expect that Lin Shu could break it with a person, Lin Shu broke the sound barrier, so that Lao Wang easily crossed the obstacle of the sound barrier, and the shock wave that had been chased not far behind him was gradually thrown away.
However, the shock wave of the earth was obviously transmitted faster than the air, and the earth wall of the cave where Lin Shu and the others were running had begun to crack and collapse, and pieces of dirt smashed on Lin Shu's shield, sending out a huge vibration, and then turning into a cloud of smoke and dust, like a powerful explosion.
Li Xiaoxin held his breath, his heartbeat was about to stop, seeing that the cave wall in front of him collapsed, Lin Shu didn't stop, and hit it directly, Li Xiaoxin closed his eyes tightly and leaned against Lin Shu's body.
"Boom!"
A stream of mud and dust erupted violently into the circular hollow, and in the mud and dust, two rays of light shot rapidly towards the black wall of the hollow, and then drew a graceful arc, and the speed dropped.
Li Xiaoxin's heart beat violently, her mind was dizzy for a while, and then the blood that rushed to her brain gradually fell, and her vision slowly recovered.
Turning his head, under the light of the illuminating stone, the cave wall behind it was still collapsing, but it soon stopped, and the originally regular garden cave now appeared an oblique pit, and the whole earth shook for a while, and finally stopped.
Lin Shu landed on the ground, retracted his wings behind his back, and took a breath, only to find that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and even half of Li Xiaoxin's clothes were wet. (To be continued......)
