Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 392: Pressing step by step
After chasing him, the blood trail suddenly stopped in the passage, and a rushing water blocked Lund's path.
Looking in the direction of the water flow, Lund frowned and saw that the dark sewer pipe could not be seen to the end.
Some sewer pipes in the city are connected to a tributary of the Xingyue Gonghui River. Engineers diverted part of that tributary into the sewer pipes and used the water to flush away waste, eliminating the need for most of the water. Some manual cleaning costs.
The master who designed the auction house had considered the accidental death of slaves. In order to facilitate the disposal of the corpse, he specially selected a main road with rapid water flow and built a secret passage to transport the corpse.
No matter how thoughtful and wise the designer was, he would never have imagined that his work of art would be hammered to pieces by his own family members, opening another path directly to the sewer.
"Obsidian should have seen the situation here. The woman has been seriously injured. She can't last long in such turbulent water. In order to avoid being drowned, she will definitely move aside to rest. As long as If you follow the current, you will definitely be able to find her."
Following the direction of the water, Lund chased it all the way.
Sewer pipes extend in all directions. In order to completely remove the accumulated water in the city, each section has one or two drainage pipes directly connected to the city roads. They are only large enough for a person to pass through on his stomach. They are also rare clean pipes.
Hearing the footsteps receding, Ias breathed a sigh of relief and carefully jumped out of a pipe,
The blood stains were just bait. She was injured and didn't want to jump into the rapid water mixed with various kinds of sewage.
Leave aside whether the wound will be infected or not, after jumping into the water, the only choices available are drowning or being captured by Lund.
So, Ias first dragged her **** feet to the water, then immediately tore off part of her clothes to bandage the wound, crawled backwards into the relatively clean pipe, and barely escaped. A calamity.
Limply dragging her body, Ias limped in the opposite direction of the footprints.
She once learned about sewers in the Library of All Things.
In addition to the outlet where the sewer flows to the river, there is also a ladder covered by the manhole cover to facilitate maintenance. As long as you can find the ladder, you can escape from this sewer.
Treat wounds, change clothes, etc., wait until you escape from the sewer.
Enduring the pungent smell that occasionally came from the sewer, Ias's hands bloomed with holy light, dragging her injured foot while looking around for a vertical ladder.
But before Ias could walk long, noisy footsteps sounded from behind her.
Under the guidance of Granny Pomegranate, Obsidian knew how to use some magic. He watched the battle between Ias and Lund through surveillance magic.
He never expected that Ias would use that method to escape from the slave auction house, and her mind was completely unlike that of the mad woman who hijacked their carriage.
Lund gave chase, but the sewers were complicated.
Being able to calmly deceive Lund in that situation, Obsidian has every reason to believe that Ias will repeat the same trick to deceive Lund.
While Obsidian was thinking about what to do next, the underground bounty hunters working with them heard a loud noise and gathered around him.
Obsidian simply fabricated the lie that Yang Yu and the others sneaked in secretly, and then used the explosion to escape to the sewer pipes, and drove the underground bounty hunters into action.
When the underground bounty hunters heard that Yang Yu and the others had actually escaped to the sewers, they did not hesitate at all, lit torches and jumped into the sewers.
At first, the bounty hunters, like Lund, mistakenly thought that Ias had jumped into the rapid water.
However, someone soon noticed two rows of footprints with completely different directions. One row was the footprints left by Lund following the water, and the other row was the footprints left by Ias.
The people present had different opinions on this. The most acceptable thing to them was that Ias and Yang Yu reunited and acted separately.
After reaching a consensus to catch them all, the underground bounty hunters immediately divided into two groups, one group followed the footprints left by Lund, and the other group followed the footprints left by Ias.
Because of her injuries, Ias could not walk fast, and the bounty hunters quickly caught up with her.
When others saw that it was the elf girl who had put a bounty on her head, their motivation suddenly dropped a bit, but when they saw that Ias was injured, they exclaimed "It smells so good".
To them, the injured Ias was at the end of her strength. This kind of good job of bending down to pick up money would be a happy one.
Moreover, the ball of light on Ias's hand outlines her disheveled appearance, which is really forcing people to commit a crime.
Anyway, they were in the dark sewer pipes, working in the dark. As long as they communicated well and kept secrets from each other, no one would know what they did.
Just as they were all smiling obscenely, Ias completely extinguished the ball of light in her hands, drew her bow, and with a sound of "咻-", an arrow hit the person standing in front. , and then a ghost arrow appeared on the arrow, piercing the bodies of the two people behind the man.
The three people unanimously covered the injured area and wailed, but before they could take a breath, new attacks followed.
A bounty hunter who did not fall took out his sword and tried to block the arrow, but because he failed to see the arrow's trajectory clearly in time, Ias's arrow passed through his shoulder.
The bounty hunters with torches have become Ias's best targets at this moment.
"Don't stop! The other side is already injured. As long as she gets close, she won't be able to overcome any waves."
Several bounty hunters activated their skills to withstand long-range attacks and ran towards Ias.
But because the arrows were hidden in the darkness, they always failed to grasp the timing when using their skills, and were shot in pieces by Ias.
Finally, a few people got close, and divine light bloomed from Ias's body. A ripple appeared with her as the center. In an instant, several people who were close to him were pushed back, stumbling and behind. The team fell together.
In the long and narrow passage, which can only accommodate three people side by side, Ias has ample room to display herself. She is like a warrior who regards death as her own.
Ias's arrows pierced her body again and again, and the underground bounty hunters knocked down several of them. The bounty hunters who were staggering forward suddenly felt like retreating.
They have no way to deal with Ias, unless there is a being here who is stronger than Ias, who can deflect all attacks and get close to Ias.
But there is no such person here at all. Those who still have a few breaths left turn around and run away, leaving the green mountains without fear of burning.
Ias did not pursue. The high-intensity attack consumed a lot of her physical strength that she had finally recovered.
Seeing this group of people, Ias had a premonition that the troublesome guy would appear again. She must hurry up and find the ladder and leave here without wasting any more energy.
