"It's not to the end yet... Where does this passage lead to?" In the dark underground passage, Rex murmured. Half a day has passed since he and Charlotte entered.
There were twists and turns along the way, and there were many forks in the road. I originally wanted to confuse the pursuers, but in the end I got lost as well.
In the passage that is two people wide, the fireball on Rex's palm is the only source of light. In the underground that is hundreds of meters deep, naturally not even a trace of sunlight can shine into it. As long as the fireball on Rex's palm is extinguished,
The fireball will immediately usher in a pitch of darkness that makes you unable to see your fingers.
thump!
Rex led the way and was walking, but suddenly there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from behind. In an instant, Rex turned his head hurriedly and said in shock: "Ice cube girl, what are you doing? Hey! Don't be scared.
Me!"
Rushing out with a lunge, Rex quickly picked up Charlotte's body from the floor. He saw that her magic robe was covered with sand and dust just after the fall. Charlotte didn't do anything about this.
Don't worry about it and say slowly: "You'd better leave first."
As she spoke, Charlotte pushed Rex's body. However, in her current weak state, she didn't even have the strength to push. On the other hand, Rex's condition was not much better.
, under the illumination of the fire, their faces were also pale and pale. They had been running for their lives without sleep for a long time. In addition, the two of them were in this seemingly endless tunnel. The bad environment made the two people's spirits reach the limit in advance.
.
Once he stopped, deep tiredness immediately hit him. Suddenly, Rex gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take a rest. Take a break for a while. Fortunately, the route of this tunnel is complicated enough. Even if they chase in, it won't be that simple."
Find us."
Charlotte leaned against the wall and said in a voice as thin as a gnat, "Rex, you don't have to pay attention to me. If you run away alone, you have a greater chance of survival."
Although the voice was weak, in this silent cave, Rex could hear it clearly. Suddenly, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Don't be stupid, don't look at me like this. In fact, I'm almost there too."
I can’t walk anymore, so I stopped to rest not because of you, but also for myself.”
With that said, Rex also leaned his back against the wall, sat down slowly, and said at the same time: "Stop talking, let's take the time to rest, and we'll be on our way again in ten minutes."
In fact, Rex really wanted Charlotte to rest longer, but when he thought that there were still people chasing him behind him, he couldn't sleep easily. The ten-minute rest time was too late in the current situation.
Very luxurious.
"..." Seeing that Rex entered a meditative state as soon as his tone fell, Charlotte stopped saying more. At this time, she closed her eyes and also entered a meditative state.
※※※
Tread...tap...
Tap tap tap...
"!!" The sound of subtle footsteps reached his ears. In the midst of meditation, Rex suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time anxiously shook Charlotte awake, and whispered in her ear: "Wake up! Let's wake up!"
Hurry up! They're getting closer!"
While speaking, Rex couldn't help but curse in his heart, how on earth did those damn guys track his location? You know, there are countless branching roads in this underground passage, and he deliberately left his footprints along the way.
If they are erased or even fake footprints are created, the other party will have no way of chasing them back!
There was no time for Rex to think too much. As soon as Charlotte woke up, he directly hugged Charlotte horizontally, which is the so-called princess hug posture. Then, the magic power in his body began to circulate, and his body fell to the ground.
It shot out from deep inside the hole.
"They are in front! Hurry up and catch up!!"
At this time, an angry voice came vaguely from behind. Judging from the sound, there was still at least a distance of more than three hundred meters between them. However, Rex was in this sealed passage, considering various factors.
He couldn't tell the distance due to environmental factors. All in all, just run away!
When escaping, for fear of disturbing Rex, Charlotte did not dare to make any big movements. She only saw her body struggling slightly and said: "Put me down, I can walk by myself!" She said
This is not shyness, but distress. Rex flying with him will undoubtedly increase the consumption of magic power.
He misunderstood Charlotte's thoughts and thought she was being shy. Suddenly, Rex grinned and said, "Please bear with me. The other party is chasing after me. I don't have time to put you down now!"
The opponent has accelerated and is now in a situation where it is possible to catch up at any time. At this juncture, Rex does not dare to waste time.
boom!!
Just as Rex finished speaking, suddenly, there was a boom and explosion behind them, and then their eyes suddenly lit up. When they saw it, they saw raging flames rushing up from behind.
"Damn it!" He cursed through gritted teeth, and Rex activated his magic power. In an instant, a dark brown wall of earth rose from behind, blocking the attack of the flames.
Can Rex not curse? He is not a monster like Irene. On the way to releasing magic, his flying speed will definitely slow down. Once the speed slows down, this will give the opponent a chance to catch up.
Understanding that this was an enemy attack, Charlotte, who was in Rex's arms, immediately said: "Rex, just focus on flying, and I will resist the attacks from behind." Halfway through her words, Charlotte had already started.
She made a move, and saw that under the influence of her water magic, a large piece of ice crystal condensed out, blocking the passage.
Once was not enough, Charlotte blocked the passage twice or three times with layers of ice. Even if she couldn't stop the opponent, she could at least delay it for some time.
"Well done!" Rex praised, focusing on flying. As long as the opponent's speed is delayed by Charlotte, he will definitely be able to distance himself!
Bang!
Not long after, a crackling sound sounded from behind. Hearing it, Rex knew that this was Charlotte's first layer of ice being shattered. At this point, he also judged the distance between himself and the other party. Moyo was two people.
100 meters!
Bang...bang...bang bang!!
Time and time again, the sound of the ice being shattered continued to be heard. Each sound was like a blow to the heart, making people feel shocked and extremely nervous.
At the same time, listening to the smashing sounds again and again, Rex could judge the distance between the two sides. However, he was shocked not long after, his face was horrified, and he said in disbelief: "Impossible! The other party
The speed didn’t slow down!?”
Yes, according to Rex's judgment, the distance between the opponent and him has always been maintained at two hundred meters, and this is a very incredible thing. After all, there is ice blocking behind him, and the opponent will be delayed no matter what.
, however, the reality was not what he imagined. Five, ten, and twenty times passed, and the other party still remained two hundred meters behind... There were even vague signs of closing the distance!
