Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Chapter 45: Pursuit

The gathering place of various guilds.

After confirming that the person was found, the joint forces gathered here, waiting for further orders from Tiberu.

One of his men rushed in from outside, looking very anxious. He bumped into two or three people along the way and seemed to be stumbling.

After entering, he shouted to everyone: "No... It's bad, the man in black and the underground fire user have escaped."

After hearing this, Dierberu frowned slightly.

Then he said, "Calm down first and speak clearly."

After taking a few breaths, the subordinate narrated what had happened.

Two people, including the man in black, were deceived and had to reveal their identities, and then they escaped when no one was paying attention.

After listening to this, Dierberu analyzed: "According to what you said, the man in black and the underground fire user are a group of people, and they escaped together."

"I saw it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true." The subordinate answered affirmatively.

Tiberu continued, "Are those two wanted now? This is an important question. Think it over before you answer."

The subordinate did not hesitate for a moment: "Those two people are wanted. Their names and health bars are all dyed red. I saw it with my own eyes."

Hearing that the situation was still under his control, Dirberu laughed.

"Hahaha, good, it's good that you're wanted. You will definitely not be able to escape from our grasp while you're wanted."

Long Xinglian is also an old player. Listening to what happened, he really couldn't think of anything to be happy about.

So he asked, "Those two people have run away, what is there to be happy about?"

Tiberu explained to everyone: "As long as we put those two people on the wanted list, I am not afraid that they will escape. I am only afraid that they will not dare to face us and will go offline, because then I don't know how long it will take to bring them to justice."

"But they have already escaped." Long Xinglian reminded in confusion.

Tiberu continued, "No, from what I can see now, those two people want to fight to the end. The so-called escape, in my opinion, is just a change of cemetery."

Long Xinglian nodded as if he understood, totally unable to comprehend what these highly intelligent people were thinking, but this did not prevent them from having the same goal.

"Just tell me what we should do next."

The environment on the second floor is very monotonous, and the color is almost always brown.

In addition, the two men were already wanted, and their names would never be covered up, making them like conspicuous prey in this land.

Always, it's me again.

Tiberu gave the order: "Order all teams to advance in the direction the two men fled."

……

Two hours later, it started to get dark.

Kirito and Kenshin fled northward from the Rocky Plains and arrived at the Gravel Wilderness.

There are no strange rocks here like in the previous area, but instead there is gravel underfoot.

This means that Kirito and Kenshin have lost their hiding place, and they need to be more careful.

Just then, Kenshin heard a noise behind him and hurriedly put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"who?"

"Ah Xin, it's me." Then a dark shadow approached.

After seeing clearly, Kenshin let go of the hilt, his nervous heart relaxed, and then he asked:

"Brother Tong, how is the situation?"

Kirito shook his head and said, "Those people are still chasing us. They are about 200 meters away from us now. It seems that they have us."

After recognizing the reality, the two continued on their journey.

During the two hours of escape, the two tried to escape separately, escape in a roundabout way, and escape in an interlaced way...

The results were all failures without exception, as the expeditionary forces swept towards the two men in a nearly straight line.

The only thing to blame is the bad terrain. The large plain leaves nowhere for the two to hide, and the red color on their heads will alert the enemy.

Jianxin said: "Brother Tong, what will happen if we are offline now?"

After thinking for a while, Kirito said:

"It's not a good idea. They will be even angrier if they can't find us. Besides, this area is not a safe zone. It may be dangerous to go offline like this."

Normal players will log off in safe areas, such as the main city or inn;

In an emergency, you can log off in the wild at a low level. This way, when you go online again, even if you suddenly encounter wild monsters, it will not be too dangerous.

Looking at the place now, it is a new area that has not yet been opened up.

Along the way, they encountered several new monsters that they had never seen before. Due to the urgency of the situation, the two had to take a detour.

The two were already a little tired, but the punitive army was still chasing them closely.

What Kirito didn't know was that the expeditionary army adopted a rotation system in order to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

As they walked, they suddenly came across a cave.

The entrance of the cave protrudes far above the ground, and the interior spreads deep underground, making it very conspicuous among the wasteland.

Jianxin said to the cave entrance: "It looks like a maze. There should be a lot of good things in it. Unfortunately, now is not the time."

The two wanted people should focus on running away. They cannot afford to explore complex things like mazes right now.

Wait, can’t take care of it?

An idea came to Kirito's mind.

Then Kirito walked into the maze: "Shin, let's go in and take a look."

"Brother Tong, why do we have to come in here? Aren't we going to run away first?" Jianxin asked, but still followed.

Kirito explained in front: "Since we can't take care of it, they certainly can't take care of it either."

Having said that, Kenshin roughly understood Kirito's thoughts.

The expeditionary army might have the same idea, believing that the two of them would not enter the maze, and thus bypass them and search northward.

But there is still a question, Kenshin asked Kirito: "What if they enter the maze?"

Kirito smiled faintly: "Then let them fight the monsters in the maze first."

……

The two of them moved deeper into the maze, and soon Kenshin noticed that the environment had changed.

So he said: "Brother Tong, do you feel that the hole is a little hot?"

"It is indeed a bit hot. It may be related to the environment inside." Kirito replied.

The deeper you go, the higher the temperature becomes, and the surrounding rock walls change from brown to reddish brown, as if they had been baked by high temperature.

At this moment, a monster appeared in front of the two.

【Lava Warrior lv 28】

The level is very high, which is beyond the reach of the average player at this stage. Even Kenshin is 2 levels behind.

However, such a powerful monster is exactly what Kirito needs.

The monsters in front of me are similar to those outside, and their bodies are made of rocks.

The difference is that the monster in front of him not only has a body made of rock, but also holds two hand axes. The hand axes emit red heat waves and the surface is bright red, as if they had been forged at high temperature.

Before the battle, Kirito said to Kenshin: "Just cut it once, then move forward and leave its range."

Kenshin did as Kirito said, slashed once, and then hurriedly left with Kirito into the depths of the maze.

Only the enraged lava warrior was left, watching the two men's departing backs, secretly hating his own movement speed and range of activity.

Along the way, the two repeated simple attacks, then dodged while moving forward quickly.

The monsters left behind will become Kirito's "helpers" to stop the expeditionary army.
