Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

Chapter 58 You Can't Leave

The three of them clearly realized that there was something very terrifying behind them, slowly approaching them.

An invisible breath of death spread rapidly from the ground.

Slowly wrapping them around their bodies, their hands and feet seemed to be completely frozen.

Just like a weak reptile, unfortunately encountering the sound of human footsteps, although it can't find where it is, the instinct engraved into the genes by fear will still make the body fall into a frozen state of suspended animation.

It is not a skill or talent effect, it is simply a kind of fear from the genetic level, like a tide of higher positions.

This fear made the originally brief moment less than 0.1 second.

It seemed as long as a century, and even the mind and body had fallen into some kind of inexplicable stagnation.

Only the horror still lingers.

Whoever moves first will die!

Realizing this, Audax forced himself to turn his head.

Afterwards, the various joints and ligaments on his body were instantly torn out with countless bloody mouths, and they healed completely in the next instant.

Audax endured the pain on his body.

Finally, he saw clearly the terrifying crowd of human heads and the tall figure suspended above the heads.

The other party was showing an interesting expression, watching him with a pair of ruthless purple pupils.

In a trance, those purple pupils seemed to become extremely huge, hanging high above the void, allowing himself to be surrounded by endless darkness.

The endless sense of oppression makes it impossible to look directly at it.

If there is a specific image of terror and despair, Audax feels that what he sees right now is just that.

The moment he saw this figure, Audax understood instantly.

He made the wrong choice.

The next moment, the orc prime minister disappeared in place.

Audax's body was injured to varying degrees in an instant, and healed in an instant.

Afterimages continued to appear near Audax, and then quickly moved to the outside.

The ground under Xuan Yuan and Bella's feet was also attacked to varying degrees, and even dirt kept exploding around them, but Xuan Yuan and Bella did not suffer any injuries.

A few seconds later, the orc prime minister reappeared at a distance of ten meters from Audax.

He dug his ears with a slender sharp blade, and said thoughtfully:

"Absorb all attacks, within a range of 10 meters? Companions ignore attacks?" (Magic Story)
"Well, it's kind of interesting~" (Magic Monogatari)
Then, he raised his hand abruptly.

The ground under everyone's feet suddenly rose into the air, and the ground under their feet had been dug away, with Audax's location as the center, extending downward for a distance of 10 meters.

Standing on a small island-like clod, the three of them were forced to suspend in mid-air.

A gust of cold air ran along Audax's tailbone and rushed straight to the back of his head.

Just a face-to-face meeting, the other party has already figured out the details of his own ability, and even found out his own weakness.

The pain of repeated injuries to his body made tears flow on his face instantly.

Subconsciously glanced at Bella not far away, her face full of despair.

Strong regret like a tide suddenly flooded into my heart.

Bella, will die because of me?

The fear that Bella would die because of him almost swallowed him completely, so that even his consciousness began to collapse.

A crisp sound of 'pop'.

Audax awoke from a nightmare of terror and fear.

It was Xuan Yuan who slapped him hard on the face, making him regain consciousness.

After pulling the opponent's consciousness back to this moment, Xuan Yuan said lightly:

"Concentrate! It's not time to give up yet!"

Hearing Xuanyuan's calm voice, Audax's flustered heart suddenly seemed to have a backbone.

Nodding quickly, he focused on resisting the waves of intense pain in his body.

Xuan Yuan could feel the strong sense of oppression coming from the black-robed orc.

It's a bit like the sense of oppression that the branch president gave him back then, but it's far worse.

Until the head tide appeared and Audax was also attacked by the opponent.

The strong uneasiness in my heart dissipated at this moment, and there was even an indescribable sense of peace.

Although the situation is very dangerous.

But Xuan Yuan somehow knew in his heart that he was safe now, and there was no risk of being killed by a surprise attack.

This time, the inner intuition seemed to be stimulated by a more powerful existence, and the induction results given were extremely accurate.

Don't try to use the talent's short movement in front of the opponent.

I will have 53 seconds of safety time, during which time I can use long shifts to leave.

Sure enough, the black-robed orc stood outside the circle.

He showed mocking eyes to everyone, but did not make any further moves.

For the orc prime minister, the group of prey in front of him could no longer escape.

Prepare to observe the fineness of the batch of prey in front of you first, and then harvest the plump one in an appropriate way.

Xuan Yuan opened his arms and said to Audax and Bella:

"Try it first, come and hug my waist, no matter what happens, don't let go!"

Audax and Bella were already in a state of panic.

Hearing Xuan Yuan's order, he hurried over and hugged Xuan Yuan's waist.

Xuan Yuan tried to activate his talent.

As a result, the pop-up window displays:
[Destination: Gate of the Adventurer Branch in Sketos Town]

[Estimated time:? ? ? 】

【Unable to start】

It was the first time Xuanyuan saw that the automatic guide would also [fail to start].

Let Audax let go, and the talent shows that it can be activated.

Instead, Audax hugged himself and asked Bella to let go, but the talent showed that it could not be activated again.

Time flies, Xuan Yuan quickly said:

"No time to explain."

"I can't beat it, but I can use my talent to leave, and I can only take Bella with me."

"I'll give you 10 seconds, let Bella follow me when you've made up your mind!"

Hearing this, Audax turned his head and glanced at Bella.

He suddenly smiled, and turned around in relief.

Holding the giant shield tightly in his hand, he strode to the edge of the empty island, and faced the black-robed orc who had scared him so much that he didn't dare to look at him.

Ignoring the black-robed orc's smirk when he rubbed his sharp blade, Audax yelled:
"Bella, go!!!"

With tears in her eyes, Bella jumped directly onto Xuan Yuan's back without saying a word.

After carrying Bella on her back, Xuan Yuan quickly said:

"Don't forget your talent, be sure to turn it off when you are about to leave the range."

"Otherwise, because of your talent, I don't know if I can successfully lead you away."

Bella turned her head and looked at the lonely back of Audax facing the horror, with tears in her eyes:

"Okay, I'll turn it off when I jump out."

Xuan Yuan nodded and said:

"Remember, no matter what happens, no matter what happens, you must never let go of my back!"

After all, Xuan Yuan unlocked his talent.

[Destination: Inside the adventurer branch of Sketos Town]

[Estimated time: 16 minutes and 22 seconds]

【On the way...】

Slowly close your eyes.

With his eyes closed, Xuanyuan carried Bella on his back, took a big step forward without hesitation, and jumped directly out of the range of the empty island.

However, Bella was still on Xuanyuan's back.

But contrary to common sense, it flew backwards and fell directly back to the sky island.

This scene made Audax, who was turning around at this moment, feel his heart shattered instantly.

Throwing away the huge shield, he rushed over, hugged Bella on the ground and said in a panic:
"why!?"

"Why didn't you turn off talent!?"

"Mr. Xuanyuan, come back quickly! Bella is still here!"

It's a pity that Xuan Yuan has entered the state of closing his eyes, and ran quickly towards the destination without looking back.

Bella lay in Audax's arms and smiled calmly.

Stretching out her little hand, gently wiped away the tears on Audax's face:
"If we die, we will die together. I just don't want to hurt Mr. Xuan Yuan."

Seeing Bella's clear and calm smile.

A wave of intense heart palpitations, fear, and pain, as well as a huge unspeakable regret, completely enveloped Audax.

He rushed to the edge of the empty island, pounding the ground and roaring frantically.

Looking at Xuan Yuan's back, he shouted heartbreakingly:

"Mr. Xuanyuan, please come back!"

"I was wrong, I was going my own way!"

"Please, at least take Bella away!"

"Bella, Bella is still here! Everything is my fault! Come back!"

Unfortunately, he only saw Xuan Yuan's back with his eyes closed, drifting away.

Next to the empty island, the orc prime minister who has been watching the show quietly.

After finally choosing a suitable prey, and thinking about the next cooking method, he grinned and said:
"Don't worry, neither you nor him can leave!" (human language)
