Chapter 66
Option one 29.4%, option three 70.6%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Curved route】

Advantages: Concealment, many forks, not easy to be found by pursuers, and all pass through areas with fewer kobold soldiers

Disadvantages: You need to leave the tunnel to get on the ground, cross the avenue, and enter the tunnel from the other side.There is a risk of being discovered

……

In the dark underground, day and night are no longer clearly defined.In one night—Zheng Zhuo thought it should be night, because many Kobold soldiers stationed there were half asleep and half awake—Zheng Zhuo found his chance.

The kobold guards on the sides of the high wall were all asleep.The security guards in the distance also began to relax because they could not capture the sentry tower for several days.

"Hey."

Zheng Zhuo pushed to wake Zhuang Yusheng who was soundly asleep.

"gone."

……

In the darkness, [Mage's Hand] shone with an imperceptible light.Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng used it as a pedal and slid down from the shadow along the outermost side of the sentry tower.

This place was carefully selected by Zheng Zhuo.Because right below here is the burrow dug by giant earthworms.

"(Arrived.)"

The two did not land on the ground, but continued down, all the way down into the dark hole below.

Once entering the cave, the line of sight is immediately blocked.Although the giant earthworm is "giant", the diameter of the body is only about 2 meters wide.In addition, the soil is soft and subsides inward, and the burrow is only half the height of a common house.The shorter Zhuang Yusheng was acceptable, but Zheng Zhuo had to bend over to enter.

Passing through narrow places, the two must use their hands and feet to pass through.It's no small test: kobolds are much shorter than humans.According to the experience gained from the detection of bats, they can run flexibly in the burrows. If they fight in the burrows, it will form an absolutely unfavorable situation.

Therefore, Zheng Zhuo absolutely does not want to touch them.Therefore, to avoid being discovered, both Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng did not light a torch.After traveling in the passage for a short time, the light of the fluorite can no longer penetrate.

It was pitch black all around.

"[Summon Bat], prepare...to release."

Bats that almost merged with the night flew from the tip of the pyroxene staff into the distant darkness.

Since he couldn't see the way, Zheng Zhuo simply stopped using his eyesight.He closed his eyes and let the bat perceive everything around him instead.

Go ahead, turn right, go ahead, go ahead, turn left.

Zheng Zhuo recorded the path in his heart.The bat guides the two to move forward in silence.

Along the way, there was almost no movement from above.Only occasionally, one or two kobolds hurried past.

At this time, Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng just need to stop and wait.They will leave in a hurry, completely unable to detect the enemy under their feet.

"(This route...is really secluded...as expected.)"

Zheng Zhuo continued to move forward.

He tensed.Because the biggest test lies ahead.

A faint light came through the eyelids, and Zheng Zhuo opened his eyes.The entrance to the cave is not far away.

"(Climb up from here...cross the avenue...)"

Zheng Zhuo poked his head out and looked around.

A patrolling rhinoceros dozes off.On the sentry tower...

...the sentry tower is not visible from this position.

He patted Zhuang Yusheng sideways.

"you go first."

Zhuang Yusheng didn't say anything either.He raised his eyebrows and turned on [Sneak].

This skill is really useful when there is no contact with the enemy.Zhuang Yusheng climbed up to the ground without making any sound, quietly crossed the avenue, and jumped into the pothole on the other side.

Then, the next step is...

"Myself."

There are many kobolds sleeping.More kobolds let up.At this time, casting spells in a large area will wake them up instead.

Sure enough, I had no choice but to leave directly.

Zheng Zhuo wiped the sweat off his forehead and waved his magic wand.The bat flew out of the tunnel, slowly flew towards the direction of the sentry tower, and slowly passed through the sentry tower at a high place...

...like a real bat.

"(I don't know how much attention it can attract... Anyway, just buy a little time...!)"

Zheng Zhuo gritted his teeth and jumped onto the ground.

He lowered his body, making as little noise as possible...and then.

Go across the road.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Zheng Zhuo heard a cry from behind.

Oops!

The sentries in front may have been attracted by the bats, but there are still people awake among the sentries behind!

Immediately after...

woo-woo-

The trumpet was sounded.

"hiss!"

Zheng Zhuo jumped into the tunnel in this short period of time, behind him was the movement of the kobolds when they were awakened.

"Run!"

Zheng Zhuo squeezed past Zhuang Yusheng and ran to the front.He swung the [Energy Chain] backwards, blocked the first wave of kobolds who jumped from the entrance of the cave, and rushed straight into the darkness deep in the cave.

Turn the first corner.very good.

Next, it's up to the bat's vision.

Zheng Zhuo moved forward at the fastest speed while preparing for [Summon Bat].

This means that [Energy Chain] disappeared.

quick.Be faster.

Zheng Zhuo opened the map.

Overhead was the noisy footsteps of the kobolds, and behind them the shouts of the kobolds echoed in the tunnel.Zheng Zhuo kept moving forward with the help of the bat's ultrasonic perception, avoiding the pursuers.He canceled the bats from time to time, prepared other spells, confirmed the map with the light of the spell ring, and then moved forward.

The tunnel is full of kobold voices, and occasionally, the terrifying loud noises of giant earthworms can be heard.The environment was so noisy, but Zheng Zhuo couldn't make any movement. This strange situation made Zheng Zhuo's heart beat like a drum.

Fortunately, the tunnels dug by giant earthworms are complex enough.Those kobolds with too small brain capacity have never carefully confirmed the underground environment below their residence.The map that Zheng Zhuo spent three days making lived up to expectations, helping the two avoid the chasing kobolds again and again.

Forward, forward, forward, I don’t know how long it’s been like this——

It's almost time for the exit.Not only the tunnel exit, but also the exit from the third floor to the fourth floor.

at this time.

Oops.

A hopeless vision emerges in the bat's perception.

In each corridor, there is more than one kobold.

"I just said that your brain capacity is too small, I'm really sorry..."

Zheng Zhuo gritted his back molars.

It seems that the kobolds also know that the enemy's destination is the road to the fourth floor, so they blocked the exit to the fourth floor!
"There is no other way...the last resort, I hope it works."

Zheng Zhuo withdrew his right hand holding the pyroxene staff, and stretched out his left hand.

In his left hand, he held the [Flying Whistle].

……

hum!
The flying whistle flew out to the side of the passage, making a sharp whistle in the darkness.

In the awareness of bats, the kobolds immediately moved!They began to gather in the direction where the whistle was flying——

"it is good!"

Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng immediately ran to the other side.No sooner had the kobolds left on their forefoot than they sprinted through there and climbed up the opening—

The passage from the third floor to the fourth floor is right in front of you.

But at the same time, more kobolds behind them discovered them.

Oops!

The two ran forward.

"--what!?"

The entrance of the passage was close in front of him, and Zheng Zhuo suddenly realized that the passage was a straight downhill slope, and the slope was very steep.

In other words, if you jump in like this, you will definitely slide all the way to the fourth floor...

Slide in front of the blue dragon! ?

……
