An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 36 Jumping off a cliff
After a while, Jackal reinforcements arrived one after another, and the total number reached more than ten!
When they saw and smelled the fresh life in front of them, they became even more crazy and restless. Each one of them made weird sounds and then roared.
Then a swarm of swarms came towards everyone!

Ma Long knew that this was not a game. He did not have a God's perspective, and he did not know whether there were more enemies behind them.

The situation is overwhelming and we are outnumbered. The best solution at present is: run away! Going to war with the enemy is a bad idea.

"Run! Into the forest!"

He shouted loudly, suddenly waking up his stunned companions. Yingxin picked up his own bag and Astelon's bag beside him without saying a word.

Take the lead and rush into the forest on the other side,
When an emergency comes, he will proactively lend a helping hand to his partners.

Seeing this, Astelon felt much more relaxed and quickly ran away.

Weier has good physical fitness and does not need help, but he cannot bear more weight, so Gale can only be carried by Malone.

But when he took the bag, he turned around and saw that the mage not only failed to follow the instructions to escape,

Instead, he manipulated the magical energy between heaven and earth and used the concussive shock wave to deal with the goblins again! And this time the width has increased a little,
boom!
In an instant, he pushed all the jackals approaching him several meters away!
However, the physique of monsters like gnolls is simply not comparable to that of goblins...

In the space of one breath, everyone stood up again as if nothing had happened. The most serious condition was that they were dizzy and couldn't find their way.

On the other hand, the mage himself felt weak after using this move...

There was no other way. Ma Long gritted his teeth on the spot and called up the system panel with his heart. He accumulated a total of 4 attribute points in the past two days.
Added evenly to strength and constitution.

At this moment, his body seemed to have experienced sublimation, but he could not help but be immersed in the current severe situation.

"How offensive! Veer, follow up!"

The next moment, Malone picked up Gale and carried him on his shoulders, chasing Shadow Heart and Astelon in the direction they fled, with the Border Blade following behind him.
Responsible for the rear of the palace and dealing with the jackals that catch up.

Entering the forest is not actually a good option, but not entering is definitely a bad idea!

The road is so wide, how can we get rid of it?

On the contrary, although the environment is complicated and the distance is not far when running into the woods, you can counterattack as long as you encounter favorable terrain!

"Vell! Behind you!"

Gale, lying on the paladin's shoulder, looks relaxed but is actually thrilling.
After all, she could clearly see the jackals chasing behind her approaching quickly...

After hearing this, Weier had already been prepared.
Dark green energy emerged from the left arm that was not holding the sword. He suddenly stopped suddenly, turned around and waved his hand, and several tentacles formed by the energy appeared.

Very nimbly, she entangled the two jackals who were less than three meters away from her!
And he controlled the tentacles to throw them back vigorously, knocking down several more behind him, successfully delaying the enemy's time to catch up.

After doing all this, Weir quickly chased after the paladin who had already ran more than ten meters away.

However, while running, Ma Long suddenly slowed down and gradually stopped because he saw the two people who were running away not far ahead standing still.

And the vision suddenly becomes clearer...

"Ma Long! Why did you stop?"

Gale, who was being carried on his shoulders, asked anxiously, and then Malone put him down.

Only then did she know the reason, it was the cliff...

The drop is tens of meters high. Below is the Chongsa River as seen on the map. Although the water flow does not appear to be fast on the surface, it is unstable underwater.

Furthermore, if you jump from such a height and fall into the water, you will still be half-crippled even if you don't die, which is no different from flat ground.

Soon, Weir caught up and discovered this situation, and immediately suggested walking to the side, relying on the complex environment of the forest as much as possible to get rid of the pursuers behind.

It sounds reasonable, but she forgot that jackals have dog noses.

Unless you kill them all, it will be difficult to escape tracking! Uh-huh!

At this time, the weird cries of the jackals were getting closer and closer, and they would either jump down or start a fight.

"Damn it! Even if I get hacked to death by those beasts, I will never jump from here."

Shadow Heart immediately declared that he would not jump until he died.

Between dying in battle and being thrown to death, he preferred the former...

Astelon, who cares very much about beauty, said:

"Haha~ I would rather fall to death than be eaten away by those disgusting things."

Seeing that everyone's intentions were not unified, Gale once again stood up to cast a spell, clasped his hands together and chanted a spell quickly, and then made an arm-stretching movement.

Then the five people present were enveloped in a wave of magic! I feel so light all over~

"... Featherfall Technique?"

Ying Xin was slightly surprised when she noticed something unusual about herself.

Roar!
As soon as the words fell, the frantic jackals finally caught up with their target and rushed towards the fleeing "prey" like crazy.

"Stop being stuck! Jump!"

After saying that, Gale jumped off the cliff. Weir glanced behind him first, and then jumped out without any hesitation!

Seeing this scene, Astelon shrugged and smiled at Ma Long and Ying Xin:
"See you later, they are coming~"

Then he followed the forerunners and jumped to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing that the three women were gone, Ma Long dragged Ying Xin forcefully, regardless of Ying Xin's feelings. Just before the jackal was about to catch the two of them, Ma Long
Jump off the edge.

In the air, Ying Xin's aloof male demeanor no longer existed, she was full of panic and shouted:

"I can't swim!"

Because they were shrouded in magic, the five people fell in free fall at a slow speed.
Of course, it was not very slow. They stayed in the air for a few seconds longer than normal before falling into the water without incident.

thump! x5
Naturally, the three women were the first to surface. After all, they didn’t wear armor.
But Ma Long and Ying Xin were miserable. They fell into the water and sank immediately...

That's not the only thing that made the situation worse. The latter didn't understand water at all and kept flopping around, which showed that he was really not joking.

Fortunately, Malone's Armor of Oath can be summoned and released instantly.
Without the weight on his body, he took a full breath and dragged Ying Xin to the water with all his strength. This was not an easy task.
Because someone who is about to drown is also a threat.

But after adding some points, Ma Long was no longer what he used to be. He grabbed Ying's heart and collar and swam tenaciously up to the water. The two of them exposed their heads and immediately took a big breath of air.

Fortunately, this section of the river is not really fast.

The three girls had successfully landed on a small island.
Seeing the two of them showing up, Weir dropped her bag and returned to the water, helping Ma Long drag Ying Xin, who couldn't swim, to the shore.

Touching the earth again was a feeling that both Ma Long and Ying Xin missed very much.
Without saying a word, he lay quietly on the ground, looking at the blue sky, breathing heavily. Only if the armor of the oath could be lifted, otherwise they would have to sink to the bottom now, and never want to come up again...

"...Thank you, Malone."

"You're too outspoken. We are partners escaping from hell together~"

Hearing this, Ma Long sat up and stretched out his fist with a smile. However, when Ying Xin saw this, he looked confused:
"What do you mean?"
