Can't you understand the meaning?
Oh wait a minute...
Xia Yibing suddenly had an idea - according to their current speculation, there might be many cavities exposing the walls of follicles on the seabed.
The probability of them just touching a cavity that had damaged the stone tablet was not high.
Let's assume that all the hollow stone tablets have been destroyed...but this is obviously not something that can be done by human power.
So many stone tablets, so many inscriptions.
It would take an hour just to smash a stone tablet.
So if the murderer really did this, the power he drove was probably not human.
Since they are not human, they can only "destroy" but not "recreate". This explains why the other party did not make a new copy after destroying the list.
Not bad.
This makes sense.
But there is a problem here too.
Xia Yibing didn't want to think about it this way, but the logic was there and she couldn't get around it.
That is - could the non-human life form driven by the murderer be hatched from the follicle?
There were obviously more than one starfish monster or one or two conger eels, maybe ten or a hundred...that's why he was able to damage so many stone tablets in a short period of time.
But if that's the case, the murderer has so many monster minions... Do they really have a chance to escape if they are trapped in such an environment?
Almost at the same time as she had the thought, she and the girl both heard a rustling sound coming from the darkness.
Xia Yibing quickly raised the lightsaber and increased her spiritual input, making its light brighter and stronger, able to illuminate objects farther away.
Then they saw a shiny black shell.
It was a group of black crabs of different sizes.
They emerged from the surrounding caves, wielding their pincers, and were about to complete their encirclement of them.
Chapter 36: More Than Just Hands
"Aisun, get on my back!" Xia Yibing came to the girl immediately, leaned forward and motioned her to get on quickly.
This situation is even more critical than the giant eel they encountered just now, because there is only one giant eel, and they only have to fight against one huge mouth for a short period of time.
But there were so many crabs, right? She wasn't going to stay and try to chop them all down like a moron... She definitely couldn't do it! If she did that, they would all die of exhaustion!
There is only one way to survive, and that is to break out before these ugly monsters complete the encirclement, the faster the better.
Hitzfeld also knew that the situation was urgent, so he jumped on without saying a word and let the woman carry him on her back and wade through the water.
"Oh..." Then she immediately let out a short gasp.
Her...the piece of equipment that could serve as a buffer and protection was taken off and used to hang the woman's left arm. At this time, the squeezing and friction could not be blocked, making her feel weird.
Xia Yibing didn't notice anything unusual about the girl. She first waded a few steps out, then swung her knife, using the blue residual light from the follicle wall to chop at the nearest crab.
These crabs are really big.
The smaller ones are about the size of a fist, but the largest one is almost the same size as Lily.
The crab she chopped at was as big as a watermelon, worthy of the name "crab". When the crab saw her swinging the knife at it, it immediately stretched out its claws to block it, but Xia Yibing didn't care - how could the beast know how sharp the blade was!
But the subsequent development surprised both of them - the materialized long sword was actually clamped!
It is clamping rather than blocking - no matter how strong the shells of these things are, they cannot block Changxia's blade, but they know how to clamp it before it comes into contact with the blade, targeting the two sides of Changxia's blade!
The fear made Xia Yibing break out in a cold sweat. She immediately turned her right wrist, and the blade of the long knife cut into the crab claws with the force of rotation, cutting the claws in half without much effort.
But she was not happy at all.
Their goal was not to fight the crabs, but to escape. If these things reacted so quickly and had so many claws...it would be difficult for her to change the knife path intentionally.
Every time Chang Xia was clamped one more time, she would have to pause and laboriously turn the knife to cut off the pliers, which would undoubtedly greatly delay the efficiency of their breakout and they might not be able to escape.
"Switch between reality and illusion," Hitzfeld panted in her ear, "Although you're probably not very experienced yet... you'll have to use it!"
Is she talking about... the kind of fighting method that she had imagined when she was dancing in the yard?
Sometimes they separated, letting the blade become imaginary. When necessary, they held hands again, letting the blade become real in an instant.
Theoretically, this set of combat tactics has a very high upper limit, but according to Xia Yibing's evaluation, it requires both people to possess extremely advanced fighting skills.
Life-and-death combat depends on instant reaction, which requires a lot of experience. And Hitzfeld obviously has no talent for these skills. If her reaction is a little slow, resulting in a certain virtual-real transformation not keeping up, she will be the one who suffers the most.
However, this assumption also has a premise that the opponent is also a master of fighting.
With their current proficiency, facing this kind of opponent would definitely be a death sentence, but if they were just a group of crabs, just a group of beasts...
Xia Yibing thought it was worth a try.
She swung her knife again and cut a giant crab blocking the road in half. With the help of a force-relief buffer, she put the girl down from her back.
Hitzfeld breathed a sigh of relief.
She made this suggestion not only because it was really useful, but also because she felt that she would not be able to bear it if she continued to rub it.
It was so strange, she thought she finally understood the importance of underwear and how delicate a girl's body was.
"Huh?...Ah!" Then she felt her body being pushed away, and just at that moment, a huge clamp as big as an axle passed in front of her.
Are there already crabs diving into the nearby waters?
Hitzfeld was startled and looked up, seeing the whole picture of these monsters so clearly for the first time.
Because the long summer is getting brighter again.
She separated from the woman, and the Changxia Sword instantly returned to its original shape. The light at close range was so strong that many of the approaching crabs stopped, and some even took a few steps back in fear.
Are they afraid of light?
No...it's not that they are afraid of light, but they have lived in the abyss for many years and are not used to strong light.
But this is enough - Hitzfeld was excited - this alone is enough for them to break through the siege!
Seeing a giant crab overcoming the strong light and approaching the woman, who happened to be waving a virtual blade to chop at the giant claws, Hitzfeld took a quick step forward, waded through the space vacated by the giant crab, and touched the woman's shoulder.
"Buzz--" The light knife made a buzzing sound in the air. It passed through the giant claws without any hindrance, and then suddenly dissipated all the light, splitting the crab's body into two pieces like cutting paper.
Successful.
Both of them were delighted.
The second half is hard to see clearly, but the feel doesn't lie, which means this tactic is indeed effective. If you use it skillfully, you don't have to be afraid of wasting time on these beasts.
Moreover, they are afraid of light, so cut them into pieces with a knife of light from time to time and shine a few times on them… They can escape, no problem!
They continued to wade forward, cutting their knives from time to time to find a way, and all the crabs that got in the way were chopped up along the way.
But this was only a small part of the killer crabs—the ones that were about to complete the encirclement, but not strictly speaking. There were still a large number of crabs rushing towards them on their flanks and behind them, and these beasts were even faster in the water.
Hitzfeld began to struggle.
Xia Yibing's left arm couldn't move vigorously, so she couldn't reach out to pull her like dancing. In order to maintain the tactics, she had to take the initiative to calculate the time difference of the vacancy, and she had to fill the half arm's distance with a charge.
Since the opponent is not smart, this does not require much skill.
But it requires a lot of calculations, and she has been exhausted both physically and mentally.
We need to speed up the process.
Xia Yibing noticed keenly that her breathing had become heavier.
We can’t let Aisuen expend too much energy...that would be equivalent to burning her lifespan.
Her movements became much more aggressive, sometimes even risking having her knife stuck in her throat in order to pull the girl over, and her forward speed actually doubled.
“…Up!”
After passing the stone tablet, Hitzfeld breathed hard.
"We'll all be the same if we slide down... we can't distance ourselves, going down is a dead end... go up!"
"Then I have to carry you!"
Xia Yibing thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to go up - as long as they cut the blade of the long Xia knife into the rock horizontally, they could climb up like this.
But pulling it won’t work, at least you have to carry it on your back, which saves some effort.
"That will make you even more tired!"
Hitzfeld bit his lip.
"What should I do?"
They were almost below the rock face.
The distance in the photo just taken was less than five meters.
"You stop!"
Xia Yibing stopped moving as she was told.
Then she felt a warm body squeezing into her arms from the front, putting his hands around her neck, then jumping up and wrapping his legs around her waist.
This……
Xia Yibing opened her mouth.
Is this a bit...
"Climb quickly!"
The legs clamped together tightly.
Changxia's sword light went out, and she could only hear a delicate and vicious voice coming from the darkness.
Imagining the girl's expression at this moment, Xia Yibing couldn't help laughing even though she wasn't completely out of danger yet.
Just to save me some effort, I made this sacrifice...
Even though you've already established a relationship, you're still...
So gentle~
She said no more, stabbed a knife into the rock wall, pulled tightly with her right arm, and pulled the two people up half a meter.
Pull up and draw the sword at the same time, step on the hole you just dug with both feet, stand firmly, then insert the sword again, and repeat this process continuously.
Soon they climbed up to the platform. Hitzfeld was the first to sit on the edge, reached out and grabbed the woman's right wrist, helping her to climb up as she was almost exhausted.
"They seem to be able to climb walls..."
Listening to the rustling noise coming from below, Xia Yibing collapsed on the ground and gasped heavily.
"What should I do next... I can't get rid of it..."
Now we can only say that we are out of danger temporarily.
To truly escape, they had to continue climbing up the cave tunnel.
But she was running out of strength.
One-handed rock climbing...still using this method.
Not to mention that she is a woman, even a strong man can't withstand it.
“You can only continue.”
Hitzfeld knew that this was a bit unreasonable, but if the two wanted to escape, this was the only way out.
What the hell…
She hated her own powerlessness.
Now she can provide some assistance to Xia, but this kind of help is still too little and far from enough.
Theoretically, I am also a transcendent, so why has my spirit never been truly awakened?
She looked at the knife in the woman's hand.
Changxia Sword...a blade that slays demons, a blade that destroys evil, and also a blade of nightmares.
I am exerting both physical and mental strength, but isn't Xia the same?
