At the annual awakening ceremony,
Li Yang actually gave up the SSS-rank profession [Scourge of the Zerg].
While everyone was still mocking Li Yang's foolishness,
Li Yang, who ...
"Don't worry about them, just keep going. Our mission is completed. Let's leave this damn place and let them fight each other slowly." Li Yang said, signaling Qinglong not to take it seriously and just keep going.
Qinglong fully appreciated Li Yang's words, so he didn't say anything more.
"Where should we go now?"
"Just go back the same way you came and get back to the elevator!" Li Yang said.
Not only was the cave dark, but the paths were incredibly winding and there were so many passages that anyone could easily get lost. In this situation, even a map wouldn't be enough; one needed a machine or some specialized exploration tool like a detector or compass.
When they came, they relied entirely on Qinglong's perception. It determined the route based on the breath, and they just had to crawl all the way here. Therefore, they didn't have to think much and didn't consider how to crawl.
The route is arranged.
However, Li Yang also made a backup plan for this matter. He left marks intermittently at every place he passed by on the way here, so that they could find the way later.
After all, he had already considered these situations when he came here. It was too easy to get lost in the situation inside the cave.
This is basically a compulsory lesson for professionals to explore. You must remember the route well. Although some people may not take it seriously and forget it, Li Yang remembers it clearly.
Now it’s coming in handy.
So, this is actually not a big problem for them.
Even though they had come so far and had to turn back again, even though it was extremely difficult to move forward in such an environment, they were still able to move forward.
Li Yang and others followed the marks left along the route they came from.
At the same time, relying on the complex environment inside the cave, they quickly succeeded in getting rid of the shadow chasing them.
In the blink of an eye, there was no movement.
At this time, Li Yang and others did not stop, but continued to move forward along the way they came according to the marks he left.
However, the situation has stabilized and is relatively safe. Although the threat may not have been eliminated, they can take a break at this time and don't need to rush forward.
Therefore, they finally had some breathing time.
However, they did not stop completely, but continued to discuss while walking.
In this situation, having someone to discuss things with is actually not a bad thing. Of course, this is based on the premise that both parties have similar cognition and wisdom.
In such circumstances, talking can be a pleasure, and even in some extreme situations, it can be used to comfort people, acting like a sedative.
At this time, Li Yang was walking and talking with Qinglong.
"Just now, you said that the person we've been chasing is right behind us. Are you sure it's one of those two shadows?"
Previously, Li Yang and his team had to give priority to evacuation, so he did not ask much at that time, but only asked at this time.
"That's right." Qinglong nodded.
After getting a definite answer, Li Yang began to ponder in his heart.
It’s true.
Unexpectedly, in the end they found the person but ended up passing by him.
Speaking of which, when they first learned about this person, they were on the upper level.
I realized something was wrong at that time.
So when they arrived at this floor, they found that the other party could enter and exit the entire floor just like them. So how did the other party do it?
Li Yang thought about it, and it seemed that from their perspective, there seemed to be no other way to go to other floors except taking the elevator. After all, in this black tower, each floor could be said to be a completely different small world, a completely independent space. In this case, crossing the space is simply not something that ordinary people can do.
Moreover, in the situation just now, if the other party was hostile to them, the distance between them was actually very close at that time. In the situation where they could see each other just by turning their heads, the distance was probably only one or two kilometers.
If the other party really has the ability to cross space and enter each layer at will, and if it is beneficial to them, catching up with them can be said to be easy, and they will not be able to escape.
I didn’t have time to think about it before, but now it seems really strange.
Li Yang frowned slightly.
Moreover, even now, he still couldn't see clearly what that thing was, whether it was a monster or the same thing as they encountered on the upper level.
This made Li Yang feel a little conflicted, and he had a vague desire to figure out everything.
"At such a close distance just now, did you see or sense what the other person was? Or his power or something like that?" Li Yang asked again.
Qinglong thought about it and shook his head.
"No, I didn't see it clearly. At that time, I did pay attention, but I only noticed the other person's aura. At that time, you said you wanted to go straight, so I didn't care anymore."
"As for the opponent's strength, it's hard for me to judge. Under the circumstances at that time, if I'm not mistaken, there were two figures behind us."
"One of the figures was extremely large. The seal he gave me felt to be the strongest, slightly stronger than the one that left a mark. As for their specific strength, I can't say for sure. I can only sense whose aura is stronger and whose is weaker, but I can't say how powerful either one is."
When he spoke later, Qinglong's voice became a little soft and unconfident, as if he had done something wrong and sounded apologetic.
It seemed like Li Yang felt a little guilty because it didn't do what he expected.
After hearing her words, Li Yang also nodded.
Not much useful information, but that's ok.
At this moment, Li Yang also saw what she was thinking and comforted her.
"It's okay, don't be too hard on yourself. To be honest, I didn't get any information at all. That's why I have to ask you. I'm not even as good as you."
"Besides, the matter has already passed. Unless something unexpected happens, there will be no more communication. Let's talk about the rest later."
"Our current mission is to keep going! We should be almost there. At this rate, it won't be long before we find an elevator and return to our original location. Then we can leave this weird place."
