Quadruple split.

Chapter 2434 Escape!!

"Sister Xiaole!"

Because Mo Tan was holding her in his arms, Ji Xiaoge, who had just witnessed Gu Xiaole explode into a ball of blood mist, had no time to be terrified before she found that the other party appeared on Mo Tan's right shoulder. She immediately cried out softly, "You're okay!"

Gu Xiaole folded her legs elegantly, patted her chest with lingering fear, and shrugged to Ji Xiaoge, who was only a head away from her, and said, "I can't say I'm completely fine. I just died once, but I just replaced the result at the last moment. If I had reacted a little slower, I wouldn't be able to come back."

"Is this... is this even possible?"

Ji Xiaoge, who had always held a reverent attitude towards "death" since entering the "Boundary of Innocence", was stunned and asked in confusion: "Is it so easy to replace death?"

After adapting to the 'alive' state again, Gu Xiaole jumped down from Mo Tan's shoulder lightly, and just like before, 'tethered' himself to Mo Tan in a way that ordinary people could hardly understand. While looking back, he casually explained: "It just looks a little simple. You know, after the [scapegoat] was consumed just now, my highest professional level has been deducted by five levels, and making another scapegoat will consume about five more levels. There is also a long cooldown of thirty days of game time, and the most important thing is..."

Ji Xiaoge also turned around and pursed her lips, then asked nervously, "What is it?"

"Yes, it hurts, because I have to bear the fatal attack, and then transfer the result of the attack to the [scapegoat]. Even with the large proportion of pain reduction of the sensory protection system, the consequences are still quite serious."

Gu Xiaole hugged his shoulders and lied, "I was almost disconnected from the pain just now. If I really got disconnected, it would be useless even if I had a [scapegoat]. I would have been forced to die by the system."

I'd like to mention here that what Gu Xiaole lied about was not 'pain'. In fact, she did endure pain that ordinary people could hardly imagine. However, as the only person outside the game who survived [Sanshui Juexing] alive, this level of pain was far from unbearable for Gu Xiaole to the point where she would be forcibly disconnected.

Of course, it was definitely painful, after all, the way she died just now was really too exaggerated.

"Mo-chan, if you can go faster, my advice to you is to never save your energy."

Ji Xiaoge smiled at him, and the Great Yin-Yang Master gently poked Mo Tan's shoulder and explained softly: "I just broke through to the epic level by letting an evil grandmother named Dai Li Lehman possess and merge with me. I also used the super luxurious eye technique [Misery Vision] that combined my [Yin-Yang Eyes] and grandmother Dai Li's [Magic Eyes] to give that guy a fierce blow, but..."

Mo Tan began to use skills such as [Crazy Charge], [Swift Wind], and [Heroic Leap] to increase his movement speed beyond the character's threshold. At the same time, he asked the character whose face was unusually clear because he remained relatively still, with every frown and smile at full frame rate, "Just what?"

"It's just that I only controlled him for less than a second, or... I didn't control him at all."

Gu Xiaole gave a beautiful but helpless smile, shook his head and said, "In short, the reason why the monster didn't catch up wasn't because of what I did just now, but because he decided to stay in a daze for some reason. The time I successfully delayed was only the moment when I looked into his eyes and was attacked by his pupil technique."

“That’s helpful too.”

Mo Tan switched [Xiao] to the Changhen Thorn state which is more suitable for high-speed movement. He stared at the road ahead and said seriously, "I could clearly feel it just now. If you hadn't delayed it for that moment, Sister Xiao Le, that guy would have punched me like he did before. In that case, we would have died there."

Gu Xiaole nodded with a smile, then lightly walked around to a position in front of Mo Tan, took out a tablet and a paper figurine from her sleeve and stuffed them into Ji Xiaoge's pockets: "Good sister, help me take these two little ones."

"This is?"

Ji Xiaoge blinked, looked down at the white paper figure and the black tablet in her arms, and said hesitantly: "Origami and..."

"Origami and Samurai Shodown."

Gu Xiaole gave the answer in a brisk tone, shaking his finger and saying, "These two children are a little special. For other Shikigami, even if I die, as long as I don't forget everyone, I can summon them back at any time after rebuilding the character. But Origami and Samurai Shodown have become independent children. Although they will not die with me, they can't be reborn with me either."

Ji Xiaoge immediately understood what he meant and nodded vigorously, "I understand! I will definitely work hard to protect them!"

Obviously, Gu Xiaole's words just now actually contained a sense of entrusting an orphan to someone else. This was not surprising. After all, everyone was facing the threat of the 'legendary level' at this moment, which meant that anyone could die at any time. As for entrusting the two Shikigami to Ji Xiaoge, who was far inferior to himself in strength, instead of Jadka or Largo, two epic-level powerhouses, in addition to the fact that there was still a considerable distance between the two sides, it was mainly because Ji Xiaoge had the highest probability of survival.

That's right, although his strength is not the strongest, and he can even be called the weakest in the exploration team except for Pesch without a position, but if we only talk about the survival rate, Ji Xiaoge undoubtedly has the highest in the entire team!

The reason is simple. She is the master of the seventh outer mountain of Tianzhu Mountain and the apprentice of Tianzhu Mountain's chief engineer Luwei Fizzleban, who has the same status as a high-level observer!
Even though Gu Xiaole had never dealt with Lu Wei directly, he had a general impression of Master Lu through their private conversations over the past few days. Based on this impression alone, Gu Xiaole was certain that his pigeon sister must have at least one life-saving item, and it was very likely used passively. After all, in many cases, danger comes much faster than the subjective consciousness of saving lives!
Although this place is eerie and unpredictable, and although there is a terrifying and warlike legendary monster behind him, Gu Xiaole still firmly believes that if he had to choose the person most likely to survive this crisis, it would definitely be Ji Xiaoge, who himself does not know how many life-saving items he has on him.

Not only her, Ji Xiaoge herself was also very clear about this, so she did not refuse at all, but gave an answer immediately, and after realizing that neither the tablet nor the paper man could be stuffed into the bag, she immediately hugged it tightly in her arms like a child.

"Well, just in case."

Perhaps because he was worried that the winged beauty in Mo Tan's arms was under too much psychological pressure, Gu Xiaole said with a smile: "Based on our current speed, we will be able to get out soon. As long as that guy doesn't catch up too quickly, then... uh..."

Having said this, she suddenly stopped talking and her expression turned pale.

Mo Tan also narrowed his pupils, and his expression became visibly gloomy.

Only Ji Xiaoge didn't react immediately and asked, "What happened then?"

"that……"

Gu Xiaole swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Xiao Ge, how long does it take for a legendary monster with a not-so-normal brain to appear in this [Realm of Innocence]?"

【！】 Ji Xiaoge's pretty face turned pale almost at the moment of hearing this question. After all, although she was a somewhat single-minded girl, she was never stupid. So with Gu Xiaole's reminder, she immediately realized the consequences of letting the monster behind her leave the ruins!
A legendary force that cannot communicate, cannot be controlled, cannot understand, and is very free is definitely a horrific disaster!

Just like the most recent example, the existence of a legendary warrior is like a 'nuclear deterrent' outside the game, and from this point of view, the thing behind it is like an uncontrolled and reusable nuclear bomb!
Ji Xiaoge had no doubt that even if the legendary being who could not communicate could escape from here, he would eventually be defeated or killed. After all, although legendary powerhouses were rare in this world, they did exist. Not to mention those far away, according to what Largo mentioned before, there was a legendary powerhouse affiliated with the Mercenary Guild in the war bond Daragab deep in the Savage Highlands. Not only that, the gambling bond Hillcos also had a legendary regional manager of the [Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce].

It goes without saying that a normal Legendary warrior with a flexible mind and powerful equipment would most likely be able to suppress a Legendary naked man who seemed to be a bit confused even in a one-on-one duel, but the problem was...

What's the cost?

Even if everyone survived, if that monster was allowed to leave the Seventh Experimental Base, how much damage would he cause before being suppressed? How many people would he kill?
One hundred? One thousand? Ten thousand?
If it’s a large gathering place like Ankh Market… one hundred thousand?
Or maybe he was just staring blankly at the scenery. After all, if he could stare blankly here, he could naturally stare blankly after he left. He could stare blankly as long as he wanted.

After less than a second of silence, Ji Xiaoge, who was sweating profusely, said quickly: "I will try to contact Tianzhu Mountain now. Xiaolu... No, Cordova and Aliang should be here now. They..."

"I have already contacted them."

Mo Tan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The high-level agents at Tianzhu Mountain are in a meeting. Master Lu Wei has been gone for three hours. Fimiguel is on a mission outside and cannot be contacted. Cordova crushed the final insurance and Master Lu Wei did not receive the signal. I am afraid..."

"Five hours."

Ji Xiaoge slapped himself on the forehead and said through gritted teeth, "Each meeting of those high-level observers will last at least five hours. During this time, they will be in a special space and I cannot contact them."

"Even if we contact them, it may not be useful. After all, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. We cannot expect that there happens to be a legendary agent nearby who can come to rescue us in time."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Mo Tan speeded up again regardless of his energy consumption and said in a deep voice: "At the current speed, we only need fifteen minutes to leave. I have also sent a message to Xiaolu. They are ahead of us by about two areas..."

Om-! ! !
However, before Mo Tan could finish his words, the three of them felt a gust of strong wind coming from the side. Although Mo Tan managed to steady his body in the first place, his steps were still shaken, and he staggered for a while before he managed to speed up again.

"That was just now..."

Ji Xiaoge hugged the paper figurine and the tablet tightly in her arms and asked with a pale face, "That guy?"

Mo Tan nodded and said in a deep voice: "He rushed past us. I don't know why..."

boom! ! !
As a result, at this moment, a loud bang like a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the distance. Mo Tan exchanged glances with the two of them, and immediately quickened his pace and rushed forward.

In less than half a minute, the three saw Peshi, Largo, Jadka, Yaya and Lujiang who had gone ahead. Among them, the first four had frightened expressions on their faces, but seemed to be in good condition, while Lujiang fell in front of Yaya and seemed to have completely lost consciousness.

"Mo! Little pigeon!"

Jadeka immediately turned to look at Mo Tan and the others. He carried Lu Jiang on his back and said anxiously, "That monster suddenly blocked our way. He punched at Ya Ya, but was blocked by Xiao Lu. As a result..."

"It's okay now, but the deer has been beaten back to its original form!"

Mo Tan, who had just confirmed Lu Jiang's situation through a friend's message, spoke quickly and said to the others seriously: "I found that he seemed to pause for a while after attacking, and then catch up with us and attack again. In any case, we should take advantage of the opportunity..."

Mo Tan couldn't continue speaking, not because someone interrupted him, but because Mo Tan noticed at this moment that the man with disheveled hair and flickering dark purple lines on his body was standing at the entrance of [Observation Area A], looking at his group of people with lifeless eyes. Although he had no intention of attacking for the time being, he didn't seem to intend to give way either.

"Detour!"

At this time, Peschi, who was held in Largo's arms and had been the backbone of the entire team for a while, immediately issued an order: "Break through the pile of scrapped equipment on the left. There should be an emergency passage behind. Although it can't take us directly to the transfer hall, according to the structural diagram I saw before, it should lead to a very sturdy emergency shelter. Let's go there first!"

Largo followed Peschi's instructions without hesitation, and like a runaway truck, he crashed through the illegal equipment blocking the emergency passage and rushed into the passage, which was not spacious enough for the Highlanders.

Mo Tan and others also rushed into the passage, while Jadka took the initiative to fall behind after handing Lu Jiang to Yaya to carry on his back.

"The shelter might give us some time to rest."

Peschi turned around in Largo's arms and shouted to the people behind him: "Although I don't know what specifications it is, if I'm lucky, even if it's legendary..."

"five minutes."

At this moment, Mo Tan suddenly said, "That is not a shelter, it is an archive room. It can only hold out for five minutes at most in the face of the destructive power of the Legendary Class."

"How did you know?"

"There is a person from another world that I know who once went to a similar place by chance, and he did not hide anything from me."

"understood."
