Chapter 506 Escape
“Kiri!!”
When Zhao Dongxue saw Kiri chained and imprisoned here, she ran up and hugged him regardless of her own injuries.
This seemed to be the underground prison of the Sages' Society base. Zhao Dongxue could see many other people who had died here and turned into bones.
However, these bones did not arouse any pity for Zhao Dongxue. Instead, they aroused Zhao Dongxue's heartache and worry for Kiri, as well as anger towards the Sages' Society.
The environment here doesn't look good at first glance. The Sage Society actually locked Kiri up here... He is really courting death! Zhao Dongxue felt angry, but when her eyes fell on the sleeping Kiri, the anger disappeared without a trace.
"Lan Ling, can you help me break these chains?"
Enduring the pain in her body, Zhao Dongxue pulled the metal chains that locked Kiri's wrists and ankles.
These metal chains are very strong. Zhao Dongxue's consciousness is a little lacking now, and she can't summon the mecha temporarily, so she can only rely on the backup energy of the exclusive mecha.
The name 'Blue Spirit' is the real name of the exclusive mecha.
"…This is the last time. You will have to figure it out on your own after this. I don't have enough energy."
Lan Ling whispered, temporarily summoning the mecha's two arms and merging them with Zhao Dongxue's arms.
Although the chains are strong, they are as fragile as paper in front of the mecha.
The white and blue metal arm directly crushed the chains that bound Kiri. As a special light flashed, Kiri's eyelids moved slightly.
"It's a magic seal." Lan Ling said to Zhao Dongxue before falling asleep, and reminded her at the same time: "... He should know some magic or martial arts. You'd better tell him what you did so that he can protect you... Otherwise... You may not be able to leave this base."
"How...how can I let Kiri protect me..."
"Idiot, is this the time to show off? You should be thankful that the seventh-level magician was stopped by your teammates, otherwise you would be dead by now! Wake up, Zhao Dongxue! If you really want to be with this brat, the first thing you have to do is to stay alive! Do you understand?"
Lan Ling cursed in frustration.
She knew that Zhao Dongxue liked Jili, but no matter how much she liked him, she couldn't regard the other person's life as more important than her own! She was also counting on Zhao Dongxue to cultivate to a high level as soon as possible so that she could fully exert her full strength. She didn't want Zhao Dongxue to die here so early! After scolding Zhao Dongxue for a while, Lan Ling, who felt that she couldn't hold on any longer, finally said:
"In our time, it was not shameful for a boy to protect a girl... You'd better put aside your useless pride... Besides, Kiri is not as fragile as you think..."
When Lan Ling finished speaking, her voice disappeared completely.
At the same time, Kiri in Zhao Dongxue's arms slowly opened his eyes.
…
Why is it her?
Li Qi woke up in Zhao Dongxue's arms and expressed confusion about Zhao Dongxue's appearance.
He originally thought that it was the Federation who were attacking the Sages' base, but he didn't expect it was Zhao Dongxue, who was suspected to be the 'Child of Destiny'.
So is Zhao Dongxue now at the seventh level? No... It looks like she is only at the third level, and she is still seriously injured...
Li Qi opened his eyes and instantly determined the situation on the scene, and then he began his performance.
"You are... Miss Zhao...?"
"It's me, Kiri, are you okay?"
As soon as Li Qi opened his mouth, Zhao Dongxue forgot Lan Ling's instructions and hurriedly asked about Li Qi's health.
Li Qi shook his head slowly and looked at Zhao Dongxue in confusion: "Miss Zhao, why... are you here?"
"Forehead……"
Zhao Dongxue was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to answer Li Qi's question.
Fortunately, the shaking base eased Zhao Dongxue's embarrassment.
When the base shook again and Li Qi almost lost his balance and fell into her arms, Zhao Dongxue's intelligence regained its high ground: "... Let's not talk about this! It's too dangerous here, Kiri, I'll take you away! Come with me!"
"You're taking me away?" Li Qi frowned and looked at Zhao Dongxue: "You're injured, and seriously injured. Are you sure you can take me away in your current state?"
“I can…! Cough cough cough cough…”
Zhao Dongxue patted her chest in a show of strength, but this pat almost made her vomit out the organs and blood in her stomach.
After finally swallowing the blood in her stomach, Zhao Dongxue started coughing non-stop. Her face was frighteningly pale. With this appearance and condition, it would not be surprising even if she died in the next second.
Li Qi: "..."
He had seen people who acted stubbornly, but he had never seen anyone as stubborn as this.
Are you really willing to risk your life just to save face?
After staring at Zhao Dongxue in silence for a while, Li Qi sighed, raised his hand and cast a healing spell on Zhao Dongxue, barely keeping her alive, and then said: "You'd better follow me obediently. It seems that the Sage Society is in big trouble. As long as we pay attention, it shouldn't be too difficult to leave here."
Members of the upper mobile team fought with the masters of the Sage Society.
Among the strong men of the Sages' Association here, except for Oslin who is in the middle of the seventh level, the rest are only two at the sixth level, and six at the fifth level.
Except for a small number of these strong men who are going to escape with the important information of the Sages' Society, the rest should deal with the members of the mobile team to buy time for the others to escape.
Now that everyone is running, even if the Sages meet Li Qi, it is estimated that they are unlikely to fight with him.
Moreover, Li Qi's consciousness level broke through the fourth level. Although the flying machine could not keep up, it was still the third-level flying machine that Zhao Dongxue had sent him before.
But Li Qi’s main means of combat is not flying machines.
He can still use magic and martial arts, so he will have no problem facing an ordinary fourth-level enemy. Even if it is a fifth-level enemy, he has the confidence to escape.
Letting Zhao Dongxue follow him, Li Qi walked out of the dungeon and looked at the chaotic Sages' base. He picked up two unlucky guys and knocked them out. He tore off their magician robes and put them on himself and Zhao Dongxue.
"Follow me closely. As long as you don't run into a strong person from the Sage Society, nothing will happen."
Li Qi spoke to Zhao Dongxue in a seemingly nervous and serious tone.
In fact, his mentality is more casual.
With Oslin, the "sage" of the Sage Society, as an insider, Li Qi had already understood the overall structure of this base. He even knew where the secret escape passage of the Sage Society was! So as long as Li Qi didn't go looking for death to fight with the top leaders of the Sage Society, he and Zhao Dongxue would basically have no problem escaping from here.
The process of escaping from the Sages' Society was not easy, especially since they had to protect Zhao Dongxue who was seriously injured.
But because Li Qi knew the arrangement of the Sage Society in advance, although the process was difficult, they still reached the upper ground through the Sage Society's backup elevator.
Zhao Dongxue had been following behind Li Qi during this period. She watched Li Qi cast magic with his hands, and watched him assassinate and knock out members of the Sage Society with punches and kicks. She felt a little complicated.
She originally wanted to perform a 'hero saving the beauty' scene in front of Li Qi, hoping that doing so would make Li Qi fall in love with her.
But now…
Zhao Dongxue didn’t know whether Li Qi liked her or not, but she felt that she liked Li Qi even more.
Martial arts, magic... and some other abilities.
Zhao Dongxue didn't know that Li Qi knew so many things! She could even feel that Li Qi's level of consciousness had surpassed hers! Although Li Qi was one year older than Zhao Dongxue and a genius who could be admitted to the academy, it was natural that he was stronger.
But Zhao Dongxue is not an ordinary person. With a heritage mecha, she should move faster than others and improve her strength more quickly.
As a result, the last time they met, Zhao Dongxue was at the second level and Li Qi was at the third level. This time they met, Zhao Dongxue was at the third level and Li Qi was at the fourth level.
If this continues, I don’t know when we can catch up or overtake.
In fact, Zhao Dongxue is not someone who particularly cares about the difference in strength, but if she can't be stronger than Li Qi, how can she protect him in the future?
It's too lame to always let the other party protect you...
"…Ms. Zhao, Miss Zhao?"
"Ah...Ah?! What!? What happened?"
Zhao Dongxue, still feeling a little melancholy, suddenly heard Li Qi calling her.
She quickly came back to her senses and looked at Li Qi, only to see Li Qi pointing at the dark sky outside and the forest in the distance and saying, "We have escaped. Do you... do you remember how to get back?"
The Sages' base is not in the city.
They were in the empty space between cities.
Academy Star is not entirely made up of cities. On the contrary, there are very few cities on Academy Star. Instead, special environments such as wastelands, rainforests, and deserts occupy the majority.
In the interstellar age, except for a few important planets, the number of permanent residents on each planet is actually very small, and the more remote the place, the fewer people there are on the planet.
Although Academy Planet is also considered an important planet, it exists as a "school collection planet" and is a super-large school collection, so there are relatively few people who actually settle here.
This is even more so during holidays. The permanent population on the entire planet, including the garrison corps, is probably less than one billion.
The result of a sparse population is that there is a lot of vacant space.
Many rebel organizations also have their bases on the planet in these places, such as the current Sage Society.
Li Qi's auxiliary optical computer has a map of the surrounding area stored in it, but the location of the Sages' Society is too remote and the positioning system is blocked here. Li Qi cannot determine the exact location, and naturally has no way to find the city.
This requires Zhao Dongxue's help.
Zhao Dongxue instantly perked up when she heard Li Qi asking for help.
She quickly turned on the auxiliary tablet on her left forearm, connected it to the smart chip in her mind, and confirmed her and Li Qi's current location.
With the location and route determined, Zhao Dongxue quickly planned a route back to the city.
But the only problem is that this place is too far away from the city, and Zhao Dongxue no longer has the ability to summon the mecha.
"Kiri...if you're willing to wait a while, you can wait until my teammates finish their mission and we'll take you back."
"Your teammates?"
Li Qi tilted his head in surprise.
He had noticed before that the clothes Zhao Dongxue was like some kind of standard uniform, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Zhao Dongxue had joined some secret organization.
But now it seems that the organization Zhao Dongxue joined is probably much more formal than Li Qi imagined.
