Chapter 360: Surprise and sneak attack

"Ms. Alyssa, although you were born into a noble family, based on your behavior along the way, I can sense that you are a rare true knight who always upholds the principles of justice in your heart!"

Gazing at the somewhat shaken young knight, Mondolo slowly stood up from the stone pillar with a sincere expression.

"Then, would you be willing to temporarily put aside your noble status and see the other side of this empire with your own eyes?"

"I... I don't know... but you have no chance of winning. You... you don't understand how powerful the empire is!"

The young knight's heart was a little confused at this time. Although she knew that the people in front of her were "dangerous" members of the resistance, after listening to Mondolo's words, her original ideas suddenly began to waver.

Not fearing the powerful and protecting the weak, this is the path of justice that Alyssa has always followed. But at this moment, this conflicts with her identity.

"On the contrary, Miss Alyssa, we know exactly what we are facing. The Empire is indeed very powerful, but it is not as invincible as imagined."

Mentioning this, Mondolo waved his hand gently.

"Those corrupt nobles have already hollowed out the foundation of this empire. They are like a sick, aging giant whose mighty and strong appearance is nothing but a layer of fog covering his eyes."

“I have seen the descendants of minor nobles use their power to seize the treasures and lovers of civilian professionals, and I have also seen city guards pretending to be robbers and robbing merchants and travelers.

Even in the black market, border garrisons were seen secretly reselling city defense equipment. And all this happening at the bottom was never noticed by the top brass of the empire. "

"I understand. You might be thinking that facing a ninth-level expert, no matter how many low-level professionals there are, they are useless."

As he spoke, Mondolo suddenly blinked.

"However, since we dare to stand up, we naturally have ways to deal with high-level professionals. As for the specific details, it is inconvenient to disclose them."

"I understand that the enemy we are facing is very powerful, powerful enough to easily destroy our resistance. But Miss Alyssa, according to the chivalry you follow, do you have to retreat when you encounter a difficult and powerful enemy?

Faced with the bumps and thorns ahead, there must always be some people who stand up to pave the way for those who come after them and leave behind a spark of hope.

Even if we fail in the end, those who come after us can learn from our failure and move forward on the right path! "

"But……"

His words made Alyssa even more shaken.

However, at this moment, a burst of violent running sounds and some strange noises like a huge soft-bodied creature crawling suddenly came from the main entrance of the cave.

"Help! Is anyone there?! Help!"

After a moment, the figure of Pez, running alone with a panicked look on his face, appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The aura of some low-level wind spell wrapped around him, increasing his running speed.

In the cave behind him, a huge wall of dark green flesh with a sticky surface and a grease-like metallic luster followed closely behind, blocking the entire passage tightly.

Seeing the four people still staying in the cave, a strong desire to survive suddenly arose in Pez's eyes.

"Hurry up and save me! It's catching up with me, ahhhh!"

Shouting to the four people in horror, Pez suddenly tripped and almost fell. His speed inevitably slowed down for a moment, which suddenly shortened the distance between him and the flesh wall behind him.

At the same time, a long tentacle suddenly stretched out from the wall of flesh and quickly wrapped around Pez.

"Pez?! What's that? Where's Axl?"

Seeing this thrilling scene, the four of them were shocked and immediately stopped the previous conversation. Alyssa and Mondoro worked together to use force field magic to pull him to the side of the crowd, temporarily away from the flesh wall behind.

"I don't know! It just appeared out of nowhere! Axl, he-he was in that! He was engulfed by it!!"

After being rescued, Pez pointed his fingers desperately at the wall of flesh behind him, and his words were already a little incoherent.

After pouring into the hall, the forward speed of the 'wall of flesh' also slowed down slightly. The material that made up its body spread out, pouring into the cave hall like waves of black and green mud, sliding past the sides of the stone pillars.

Everyone could clearly see that it was actually a thing similar to a giant amoeba. It was only because the passage was too narrow compared to its body size that it appeared like a wall of flesh.

Alyssa tried to mobilize her own bloodline power and sent a huge half-moon slash burning with golden-red flames towards it.

However, this magical slash, whose power was close to the peak of the third level, only popped a bubble on its body and then silently penetrated into its body, unable to even delay it for a moment.

And judging by the bubbles that kept coming out of its body, it probably wasn't any damage at all.

Seeing this result, everyone ran away.

The only entrance to the cave has been blocked by the amoeba, and the only way to escape is through the black stone door that they had been unwilling to explore before.

But now, they have no choice.

They rushed into the gate one after another, and all five of them used their best escape methods. At this time, the overall strength of the group could be seen.

The one who was in the front was undoubtedly Alyssa, and Roach's speed was comparable to Mondolo. Matt was slightly slower than them, and Pez was still at the end.

Seeing that he was gradually distancing himself from the people in front of him, especially Roche, whom he had looked down upon before, whose speed was now on par with the captain, a hint of jealousy flashed in Pez's eyes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

How could a freshman who was less than level 3 run faster than me? He must have used some high-level magic equipment!

He is much stronger than that lucky guy in both talent and strength, but because his equipment is not as good as his, he has to take the blame for him?

Thinking of this, Pez's eyes couldn't help but become gloomy.

During the previous escape, he was actually fleeing with Axel, but Axel accidentally tripped at a corner and was unfortunately caught up by the monster.

And he remembered very clearly that the moment Axel was swallowed, the monster behind him would pause briefly.

At this time, as everyone was running at full speed, the gate at the other end of the corridor was already vaguely visible in the distance.

At this time, Avis and others inside the door also discovered the unusual noises in the passage.

"Those are the people from before. There are some strange creatures that fill the entire passage and are chasing them!"

Seeing the scene in the corridor, Avis' heart sank. The thing chasing behind them reminded him of the huge "amoeba" he had seen in historical images.

That thing, even the purifying light of the high elves cannot kill it in one go.

"Not good! The space here is blocked, and there is no other exit in this hall. If we let it in, we won't be able to escape!"

Also realizing the urgency of the situation, Claire's eyes quickly turned and fixed on the two doors at the entrance.

"This gate looks pretty solid. It should be able to buy us some time. Anvis, can your scepter control the gate to close?"

“Let me try!”

Without further ado, Avis took out the scepter again, concentrating on closing the door.

This method was indeed effective. As he thought, the two doors began to close slowly, leaving only a gap large enough for one person to pass through, so that everyone could escape into the door and then close it as quickly as possible.

Seeing Avis controlling the gate at the door, everyone in the corridor thought for a moment and understood his intention. They couldn't help but suddenly speed up again, preparing to rush through this distance as quickly as possible.

But as everyone exploded, Pez was once again left behind and was about to be caught up by the wall of flesh behind him.

Seeing the changes in the gate in the distance, Pez was worried that he would be abandoned. He was anxious, but he did not hesitate and pointed the ring on his left hand at Roche's back.
