The great sage is very tired

Chapter 29 Escape

Anser is a magic fighter, and his skills are very flexible. It is not difficult to walk across this simple cable bridge made of a single vine. With luck, he took off and reached the opposite river bank after a few ups and downs.

Although Aufield is a mage, he used to travel around with the mercenary group. His skills have been honed by elves and he is very flexible.Although I am not in the peak state of the past, my balance is not bad, so it will pass quickly.

Luluni was a little flustered, but Ace didn't give her a chance to panic. He directly stretched out his hand to wrap around Luluni's waist, lifted her up and put her under his armpit. across the river.

Fast is very fast, but when the feet just hit the ground, the legs are a little soft.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Anser raised his sword and cut off the vines.

"Will they continue to chase?" Luluni asked panting.

"Yes." Offield is very experienced: "Ordinary ant colonies will suffer a lot of damage when crossing the river, but the third-level monsters are not afraid of water, crossing the river will only slow down their speed, and will not make them give up."

"Keep running." Offield said succinctly.

A few people could only continue to run wildly.

When the ant colony crossed the river, they gathered in a group and floated across the river. When they reached the other side of the river, the ant colony dispersed again and lined up to pursue again.When crossing the river, the outermost worker ants will move very slowly because they rolled over in the water, and they can only fall to the end of the team.

But in the final analysis, they are all monsters, and the slowness of action is also temporary, and they will catch up again soon.

Offield's prediction was correct, the ant colony did not simply give up, but persistently chased them for most of the day.

Even if the overall physical fitness level of human beings in the interstellar era has improved, such high-intensity exercise for nearly eight hours is not something ordinary people can bear.And both Oldfield and Luluni can be counted as normal ranges.

They had just crossed another great river and were taking a short rest now.Anser kept his eyes on the light brain to plan the route all day long, while Luluni tried his best to brew the potion for replenishing physical strength as quickly as possible in a short time. Warning to everyone.

"Things are wrong," Ace said suddenly, "Eight hours, the support from the First Federal Military Academy has not yet arrived."

It is common practice for the students at a trial site to help each other in distress, especially in a situation that is more dangerous to Orfield and the others, but not dangerous to the mecha cadets, and they will not shirk rescue.

However, after eight hours, there was no reply.

Offield frowned: "What happened to them too?"

This is the most likely scenario.

"I'm afraid so." Ace said with a serious expression. "Also, I tried to send a distress message to the school, but the signal couldn't go out of the planet, that is to say, the planet was artificially blocked."

"Blockade?" Luluni murmured, her expression froze as if she suddenly remembered something: "The planet we came to was simply checked for danger by the federal army. The danger of a third-level ant colony is too high. Once you find this Under such circumstances, this planet should absolutely not be reserved as an ordinary star to be developed and used as a test site for interstellar high schools. In normal procedures, it will become a high-risk star to be developed, and it will be cleaned by special forces.”

"Unless, this three-star ant colony has not been discovered before." Anser frowned, "but such major omissions almost never occur."

"Or..." Eston paused, "The ant colony was manipulated by people and deliberately avoided the army's investigation. This desolate star may have been done something on it before the Federation developed it."

There are hundreds of millions of planets in the Silver Wing galaxy. It is not easy for some criminals to do some illegal experiments and illegal transactions on the undeveloped star.

"No way? You can play so big in a normal trial?" Anser was in despair. When he was a star thief, his life was difficult. Why did he occasionally go to school and want to relax, and it was so bloody?

Also let people live! ! !

If the facts are as everyone guessed, then they may have encountered the worst situation-there are pursuers in front, no help behind, and unknown enemies are watching from the side.But the miracle is that everyone's mental state at this moment is much calmer than when they just learned that they will be chased by ants.

"If you work hard, you can't embarrass the family." Luluni divided the potion in her hand, "Anyway, it's all at this point, and I'm afraid it's useless."

"True." Ace agreed.

"I'm not like you," Anser said with a half-smile, "I regret my life."

Offield gave him a sideways glance, if he really spared his life, what kind of star thief would he be?

"It's not time to fight the ant colony yet, so run first." Noticing that the ant colony followed up again, he stood up and greeted everyone: "The ant colony is not so easy to control, and it's easy to hide them so that no one can find them." , it is very difficult to control the ant colony and designate the attack target. The biggest danger we face now is an unknown enemy that may be lurking somewhere on the planet."

Oldfield is the youngest of the four, but everyone unknowingly developed a great trust in him and followed him consciously: "The academy will contact each group of students who have scattered trials every three days. Neither the First Federal Military Academy nor our academy can contact us, and we will definitely find something abnormal. That is to say, as long as we survive these three days, we will wait for assistance."

"Luluni, when you were on the spaceship, you had a good chat with your classmates from the military school. Do you know where their trial area is?" Orfield asked.

"It's [-] kilometers away from us, and it takes about an hour to fly close to the ground by a spacecraft. It's difficult for us to meet them unless they come to look for us." Luluni was a little frustrated.

This distance, unless there are teleportation circles that can be connected on both sides, it is a dream to walk with only two legs.

"It seems that it is very difficult to meet them," Orfield just asked casually. He didn't expect the military students who were students like them to be of any help. "Then they can only ask for luck."

"From your tone, you still want to save them, are you serious?" Anser felt incredible.

"Seriously." Offield nodded.

"You..." Anser just wanted to say that you are not sick, but suddenly thought of the out-of-the-table mental strength value, and silently closed his mouth.

What else can I say?Anser thought self-destructively, his teammates seemed to have some unusual personalities, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.

I can only follow and flee for my life.

Oldfield's heart was far heavier than he expressed, but he also knew that if he couldn't even stabilize himself, then the children, or these friends who were with him, would have no hope of surviving.

Of course he knew it was impossible to keep running for his life.Potions also have side effects. If they take such a large amount, the power these medicines can provide them will become more and more limited, and the side effects will become more and more obvious.It is impossible for them to escape for three days. At the latest, when dawn comes tomorrow, both he and Luluni will be unable to support their physical strength.

He has to make a decision.

Maybe the people hiding in the dark didn't want to attack them directly, but just wanted to delay the time by consuming them, and hoped that they would be directly consumed to death.

This way, when everything is over, they won't show their feet.

But Oldfield couldn't let such a thing happen. If he turned over his hole cards, the commotion might force the people hiding in the dark to do something.And at that time, he has no power to resist at all, and even drags others back.

Waiting until then is when they are most dangerous.

However, you can only take one step at a time.

Time is passing by every minute and every second, and the stars that provide light in the sky have almost sunk below the horizon, and the clouds in the distance are glowing with a dark red halo like blood. Soon, this ominous color will also be absorbed into the darkness of the night place.

"The river ahead is very wide. We should be able to take a rest after we cross it." Anser, who had been planning the escape route, said suddenly, "Hold on."

On the bank of the river, Ace skillfully set up the vine cableway, skillfully held Luluni under his arm, and quickly moved to the other side of the river.

"No, stop!" Offield exclaimed suddenly, and instinctively stretched out his hand to grab Anser who had just stepped on the cableway in front of him, and threw him behind him.

All his attention was behind him before, and when he realized something was wrong, he only had time to drag Anser down, and at this time Ace and Luluni had already reached the middle of the river.

"Wow!" Before Orfield's words fell, the river under Ace's feet was already churning, and the intruding air waves shook his center of gravity, and Luluni in his hand shook violently.

"What's that?" Anser stared wide-eyed, looked towards the middle of the river, and asked in shock.

"Snake monster, level four." Offield replied briefly.

This is not a species on Elune, he doesn't know it, so he can only roughly judge its level based on the strength of the power displayed by the monster at the moment.

"Level four monster..." Anser's face was completely drained of blood.In the river in front was a monster that they could only defeat with all their strength, and behind them was an ant colony that forced them to run for their lives all day.

Could it be that today is doomed to escape this catastrophe?

"Don't panic, Ace!" The snake-like monster was extremely fast, and it jumped up a lot, trying to bite Ace and Luluni into its mouth together.Offield didn't dare to hesitate at all, an ice bow instantly appeared in his hand, three "swish, swish" pierced through the air, and three ice arrows had already shot towards the monster's head.

"Don't get distracted, Gravity Circle!" Seeing Anser still stupefied, Orfield wanted to kick him, "Hang Ace and the others up!"

Gravity circle, in the competition between Anser and Ace, once used this circle to achieve a short-term effect of staying in the air.

Under Orfield's reminder, Anser finally reacted, and a huge gravity circle immediately formed behind Ace, and Ace, who lost his balance, was sucked into midair by the circle together with Luluni.

"Ten seconds!" Anser said anxiously.

"enough."
