Chapter 437 The only Chance
We can't wait any longer, we must save people.
In a flash of lightning, Lin Qi suddenly realized that this might be the only chance for the four of them to get the Human Face Fruit without dying in the memories of strange objects.
The city lord dies, his soul and life are devoured, the ritual is completed, the evil god's will is revived, and then the sacrifice is enjoyed.
What if the ceremony is not completed?
The evil god hasn't arrived yet. Does he still dare to let the plague sky continue to take effect and kill more than 8,000 sacrifices tonight?
Worth the gamble.
"We have to save people, so I'm here."
Without even thinking about saying anything more, Lin Qi's body started to move when he spoke, and at the same time, the ladies' voices came back from the conch.
"Be careful, we are always here to help."
There is no need to explain, there is no pulling, mutual trust makes any words redundant, you decide, I cooperate, that's it, other things can be discussed after surviving.
Old Sven was unprepared. The smile was still on his face, but his laughter had stopped abruptly.
The old ghoul only had time to let out a low cry before the serrated sword stabbed him in the chest.
Sven tried his best to dodge, but his arm was injured and his speed slowed down. The old ghoul tried his best to only avoid the vital point in his chest. The serrated sword hit his right shoulder, causing him more injuries.
As the blood spattered, the old ghoul suddenly felt that the power in his body was losing rapidly with the blood. Even with the quality of the ghoul, his body began to feel weak. In the hands of the person holding the sword opposite, a blood-colored ball of light was rapidly taking shape.
At the first touch, Old Sven staggered back and quickly broke away from the serrated sword, and the feeling of power loss ended. The attacker didn't look at him again, turned around and rushed towards the little Jack who was still biting the city lord's neck, kicked the little monster aside with a flying kick, and finally removed a small piece of meat from the city lord's neck. Come.
The city lord's eyes turned white, his whole body twitched, blood was spraying from his mouth, his eyes had become empty, and he was only one breath away from death. The attacker slapped the blood ball in his hand on the wound on the city lord's neck with his backhand, and then picked it up. The city lord ran away, and a flash appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The dying city lord was hit by a blood ball, and the flesh and blood at the wound began to squirm crazily in an attempt to heal. Although his breathing was still rapid, it was no longer possible to stop at any time. There was a little blood on his face, and then he closed his eyes and fell into a coma. passed.
The old ghoul, equivalent to level 4 or 5, and the little monster of unknown strength were caught off guard and were able to rescue the dying city lord and carry him out of the cave, leaving only old Sven who could not react and watched him turn around. Run towards the entrance the way you came.
"Roar!"
The little monster roared throughout the underground cave, and the forty or fifty infected people hiding in the caves along the way also roared in response, and then quickly got out of the hiding place, blocking the path tightly and airtight, while little Jack and Swain also followed Lynch's footsteps and chased him out. He and the group of infected people were in tandem, blocking the tunnel to death. They were sandwiched on both sides, turning Lynch, who was resisting the city lord, into a rat in the pipe. There is no escape.
However...no.
In the narrow tunnel that only allowed two people to walk side by side, the two blocked sides finally met, but the rat in the tunnel took the city lord with him and seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Find them for me!" Old Siwen was so angry that he began to speak human language to the infected people. "They must be hiding in the cave. Find them for me."
As he shouted, he twitched his nose, catching the smell of blood in the tunnel.
The smell of blood on the little monster next to him was too strong, covering up the rest. It took him a lot of effort to distinguish the smell of blood emanating from the city lord from the interference.
Um? behind?
Old Siwen turned around suddenly, only to see the dark tunnel behind him twisting and stretching into the distance.
"how come?"
Old Sven was stunned.
Making false claims in the east and attacking in the west was exactly the escape plan planned by Lynch.
Although this action was a spur-of-the-moment move, it was by no means a rash move, and he had seriously considered how to escape.
He knew very well that there was a large group of infected people on the way here, and running back after rescuing them would only lead to an ambush, so he was prepared from the beginning to attack in the east and in the west.
First, turn left as if running towards the entrance. As soon as you enter the blind spot of the cave's field of vision, immediately activate your latent ability, and at the same time use your presence ability to cover the city lord behind you.
Presence requires a high degree of trust to be used on people, and it is impossible to succeed against the city lord. However, he is already unconscious at this time, which is equivalent to a dead object, so it is automatically determined to be successful.
After just a feint, Lynch carried the city lord and rushed back to the right side of the cave entrance, and then ran deeper along the rugged tunnel.
Sure enough, this operation successfully deceived Old Swain. By the time he realized that he had been fooled, Lynch had already carried City Lord Jackson deep into the tunnel, and he didn't know how far he ran out.
The structure diagram given by Dr. Swain showed that there was a dead end in the depths, but Lynch had previously considered that with so many infected people hiding inside, there was most likely an entrance and exit to a public place, which was not too far from the city and was sparsely populated. , making it easy for these infected people to enter.
That's where Lynch aims.
“I was turning east, southeast, and east again.”
Lynch looked down at the compass in his hand from time to time, running wildly in a tunnel that didn't exist on the structural diagram.
"Copy that, we're following you too. With the help of the Twin Beetles, we'll try our best to respond to you as soon as possible. But are you...sure there must be an exit?"
"The possibility is extremely high."
Looking at the surrounding environment without slowing down, Lynch answered with certainty. This was obviously a newly dug tunnel. It was narrower, darker, and more rugged than the ones he had just walked through.
Without the support of the structural diagram, it is impossible to determine where the tunnel leads to. Every step is unfamiliar, but the more this happens, the more Lin Qi is sure that there must be an exit.
"I hope that when I see the sun, I can see your smiles as soon as possible. I will leave the things outside to you."
"You can only see my fists, you worrying bastard." The male tower police officer was silent for a moment and added, "I wish you good luck, I wish us good luck."
Under the dim firelight, the light and shadows swayed in disorder, and the silent tunnel was filled with his hurried footsteps and bellows-like panting.
The roar of the infected was faintly heard from the distance behind him. Lin Qi knew that old Sven had discovered his trick and was commanding the infected to chase him.
Then let's run a race, let you see the will to survive from the fifth era, hehe, I ran early, you will never catch up with me in this life.
However, when he ran to the tenth minute, he was no longer so sure.
With the unremitting training since the crossing, it is not easy for him to hold on until now, but the roar of the infected behind him is getting clearer and clearer, and Lin Qi can even smell the faint smell of decay.
The infected are tireless, but they will get tired. Unconsciously, his steps slowed down and his breathing became heavier.
The main reason is that the ground is getting more and more bumpy, and there are many plant roots on the ground, which almost tripped him several times, but his hope is getting stronger and stronger, because he feels that the ground is rising rapidly, and there is a faint sunlight in front.
It's time to reach the exit.
Hope stimulated the last bit of physical strength, and the speed of the uphill road increased instead of decreasing. He rushed to the exit and the sunlight in a few steps.
It turned out that the exit was a very thick old tree, which was empty in the middle. The tree hole could lead directly to the ground, but it could not be seen from the outside. It was very concealed.
Rushing into the tree hole of the ancient tree, listening to the footsteps of the pursuers behind him, Lin Qi stopped.
With a flick of his wrist, the red moon ring on his finger began to glow and accumulate power, entering an activated state. He then grabbed the unconscious city lord and sprinted out of the tree hole.
The moment he saw the sun again, the sun was bright, as if he had returned to the world. However, the first thing he saw was a sharp claw.
The sharp claw of the ghoul grabbed him head-on.
