Chapter 167: The Three People Who Just Happened to Be Blocked
The unanimous decision made by Marco and Jeff really allowed them to sweep away their previous decline and regain their enthusiasm. But at the same time, there is still a problem that they have never solved.
That's how to escape from the town...technically speaking, how to escape from the slave traders.
"Perhaps we can try to attack the siege together. With the two of us here, there may still be someone who can take this little girl out."
After all, running away in the town is not the answer, Jeff then suggested.
"This is the solution when there is no other solution."
Marco shook his head after calming down. Needless to say, there was no need to mention the risk of breaking out with Anna. It was not just a matter of low probability, but the consequences of the entire army being annihilated or even being captured.
"Maybe, we can..."
However, although he did not intend to take this method, he already had other plans in his mind. However, just when he opened his mouth, he heard movement not far away before he could elaborate.
"We found their traces! There are traces of someone entering this alley!"
"Go and signal people, don't let them run away again..."
"Brothers, be careful! Those two guys are not weak..."
…
"Damn it! They're coming, let's go!"
A trace of anxiety appeared on the rough face of the strong man Jeff, and he warned Marco and the two of them. Having just regained some strength, he made a prompt decision and rushed out first to clear the way for them.
The young man who understood the other party's intentions also understood that this was not the time to be pretentious. He slowly exhaled. A glow gradually appeared in his eyes like the blue sky.
"Hold on, Anna!"
As his words fell, he didn't give the girl a chance to answer. He directly picked Anna up by the waist, and then the wind at his feet was like an arrow leaving the string, and he rushed out with lightning speed.
The surrounding pursuers were all attracted by the noise caused by Jeff who rushed out first. Therefore, there were very few people who could hinder the two of them, and it didn't take much effort to open up a distance between them and the pursuers behind them.
The girl who was a slave suffered from long-term malnutrition and was already thin and light. Marco, who was very strong, could hold her and run without much burden.
It's just that my hands are somewhat constrained and it's inconvenient to contact the enemy and fight.
Jeff, who also had intermediate strength and was even more courageous than the boy in a frontal attack, was unable to stop the enemy because he was trapped by a group of miscellaneous fish that had not yet completely surrounded him.
Sure enough, within a short time, he broke out of a group of pursuers. Following Marco's movements while escaping, he easily reunited with the two of them.
After running away for a while again, the entire town was almost covered by the three of them, but there was still no sign of life or help in front of them.
At this point, even Marco and Jeff are somewhat unable to support the physical exertion. Although both of them are intermediate warriors, their physical fitness in all aspects is far beyond that of ordinary people.
But after running away for so long, my iron-clad body couldn't withstand it.
The boy's breathing was already a little rapid, but he kept walking and his arms holding the girl Anna were still strong.
"Jeff! We can't keep running like this. There are so many of them, and they can kill us if they use up their energy."
"There's nothing we can do, their people are everywhere."
The strong man Jeff's physical exhaustion was even worse than his own. He gasped and kicked an enemy away while saying.
"Didn't you seem to have a way to escape before? Please tell me your method? If you don't find a way to escape the predicament, we will all have to live here!"
"The method I just mentioned is to find a way out of death."
Although Marco's breathing became rapid, his blue eyes remained calm. He raised his gaze to look at the dark valley that was already in front of him, and continued.
"Our only way to survive is to escape into the valley!"
"are you sure?"
Jeff frowned slightly. It was no joke that the Abyss Valley was called a forbidden area. Although it was considered a favorite adventure place for adventurers, there were also many adventurers who died there.
"Abyss? There are only three of us, and Anna is just an ordinary person. It would be too dangerous to run in so recklessly."
"It is indeed dangerous in the abyss, but it is better than being caught by these guys behind us. That is really a life-and-death situation. Even if we are not caught, we will be eaten alive. We may still have a chance of survival if we escape into the abyss.
"
Marco calmly stated his plan, and I have to say that his plan does make some sense.
"And the natural directions in the abyss are chaotic, which makes it easier for us to escape. Their numerical advantage in the abyss will attract those powerful Warcraft monsters because of their huge momentum in the abyss."
"As long as we are careful and hide well, we will not be easily caught by them. In a few days, when they relax their vigilance and find an opportunity to sneak out, we can escape."
"this……"
The strong man Jeff frowned and pondered slightly. He also felt that what Marco said made sense. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was correct, and he nodded in agreement.
"What you say makes sense. Escaping into the abyss is at least more likely than us forcing our way out of the entrance."
Seeing that he agreed, the young man nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Anna in his arms, as if he wanted to ask for her opinion.
"I listen to you."
The girl seemed a little embarrassed, lowered her head and responded softly.
As a slave, few people would treat her with such equal respect. The feeling of being respected that she had never experienced before made the girl Anna feel a little confused.
The young man didn't notice the change in her expression, he took out the remaining supplies from the storage ring and said.
"Let's divide the remaining potions first. There are two bottles of stamina potion and a box of healing ointment. Uncle, I'll just get a bottle of stamina potion. I'll put the healing ointment and the remaining stamina potions on you.
"
However, after Jeff hesitated for a moment, he shook his head. He took a bottle of stamina potion from Marco's hand. However, he did not touch the healing ointment. Instead, he pushed it back and said.
"You are not practicing defensive qi, and you have a little girl with you. You are more likely to be injured, so you should use it yourself."
When Marco thought about it, it seemed that what he said made sense. During his escape, he didn't waste too much time on pretentiousness.
"That's fine, that's it. Let's take this opportunity to escape into the valley!"
After reaching the same opinion, the three people set off again towards the abyss not far away. After Marco's deliberate and purposeful approach before, they happened to be very close to the abyss now.
As the green fighting spirit covered their legs, both he and Jeff's sprinting speeds increased again. The dark valley that was already within sight suddenly arrived under the acceleration of the fighting spirit.
However, just when the three of them were about to arrive at the entrance of the Abyss Valley, Marco, who was running very fast, seemed to have noticed something, his expression changed and he shouted loudly.
"Stop! There's a trap!"
Jeff's reaction was very quick. The moment he heard his warning, he stopped suddenly and looked around cautiously in an attacking posture.
"The senses are very sensitive. No wonder they were able to escape for so long while being hunted by so many of us with just the strength of two people."
A cold voice full of murderous intent rang out, and a tall man with a ferocious face slowly walked out of the shadows with a group of his subordinates.
"Are you the person behind those slave traders?"
The moment he saw the ferocious man, Marco's expression turned solemn. His naturally keen perception told him that the man in front of him was definitely a powerful enemy!
The ferocious man's eyes were fixed on the three of them like a ferocious beast that had spotted its prey. Finally, his eyes rested on the young man who made the sound, and a dangerous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"At such a young age, he has the strength of an intermediate warrior. He seems to be a genius with great potential... It's a pity that you should never have robbed my goods!"
"You know... a dead genius means nothing. Hahahaha!!"
The man laughed strangely and ferociously, but his laughter was full of bloody murderous intent.
Marco's young face made the murderous intention in the ferocious man's heart even more intense. He obviously knew that the best choice was to eradicate the enemy of a young genius.
The laughter fell, and he didn't give the other party any time to react. He directly raised the knife in a pre-emptive strike, and slashed at him mercilessly with a ferocious knife full of fighting spirit.
Faced with this merciless knife, the first person to make a move was the rugged man next to him. Jeff then let out an angry roar and crossed his arms to form an earthy yellow fighting spirit defense, blocking the young man.
This is not a strong defense, and it is naturally impossible to completely block the sword. But it doesn't matter, he is not alone.
The moment Jeff temporarily blocked the opponent's knife, Marco, who had been motionless, began to move. He only took a few steps, and his figure seemed to turn into a sudden roar.
Although he was slower than Jeff to strike, his extremely fast movements allowed him to strike first. The moment his defense collided with the ferocious man, he just kicked him on the head from the side.
Yes, this is the cooperation between him and Jeff. While the human shield is in front, he attacks from the side to achieve results.
The boy's sudden kick was full of powerful force and kicked the ferocious man away without any accident. Marco, who only hit the target with one blow, did not show any joy on his face.
Because he could clearly feel the touch of the leg that had just been hit, which was extremely strange!
"Not bad... I thought that since you were so young and had broken through to become an intermediate warrior, your actual combat power would be a parallel import. Unexpectedly, you still have some strength."
The ferocious man was pushed back into the darkness again, with a somewhat appreciative voice. However, he could only see a human-shaped black shadow, walking slowly from the darkness.
But when his figure came into the sight of several people again, Marco and Jeff couldn't help showing a look of shock.
Chapter completed!
