After six days, the pitiful swordsmen finally had a hot meal … Although the food was just plain roasted potatoes and handlebar potatoes, and the only side dish was the pickled vegetables that Guhan had left behind, the swordsmen wolfed down the food and praised it as the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives … Guhan wondered if their stomachs would explode when he saw how much they wanted to stuff three potatoes into their mouths at the same time.
Let me give everyone a piece of advice. If you have not eaten for more than a day, do not overeat. That was because after a long period of starvation, the walls of the stomach would become thinner, lack of blood, and decrease in toughness. It was very easy to cause acute gastric dilatation.
If one were to overeat too much and too fast, the protective function of the gag reflex would fail. Acute gastric distension would occur and one's stomach would explode … There was no doubt that it would explode like a balloon. The entire stomach would explode. Wouldn't it be a comical feeling?
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the leader of the swordsmen, Gui Yi, took the initiative to walk toward Guhan and Misaka Mikoto. He bowed to them and thanked them sincerely.
Then, all the swordsmen followed Gui Yi and bowed to Guhan to thank him.
"No, no!
All of you are my seniors, it's only right for me to do this!
It's only right! "
Guhan said hurriedly. He acted like he was a sensible junior … It was completely different from Guhan who was usually cold to others.
However, the swordsmen insisted on bowing to Guhan thrice. Guhan quickly grabbed Gui Yi's arm and said sincerely, "Seniors, even if I've done something for you, it's not the time to thank me yet.
Once I've rescued all of you from this place, I'll be able to accept it with a clear conscience! "
"Rescue us!"
The swordsmen trembled when they heard Liu Zilang's words. After spending almost a month in prison, they had completely lost the thought of escaping.
He was so focused on eating that he didn't think about this at all.
It wasn't until Guhan pointed it out that they came to their senses. That's right, they should consider escaping. They couldn't stay in this shelter forever!
"You can save us?" Gui Yi asked subconsciously, but he quickly realized what he was talking about.
The reason why they couldn't leave this place was that the Universe Level Freedom Warrior who brought them here never came back. Without the ability to open the Void Gate, they couldn't leave this temporary shelter that was 100 meters underground and didn't have any exits.
However, a new Universe Level free being had found this place, and she was a friend of the humans. As long as she was willing, she could save everyone here.
Thinking of this, Gui Yi and all the sword bearers felt a burning passion in their hearts. They had finally left this place of death!
However, Gui Yi quickly recovered from his excitement. He clearly understood that escaping back to Yuzhang City wasn't that simple. It wasn't as simple as escaping from this shelter.
"Brother Guhan, what's the situation outside?
Has Yuan Kou retreated? "
Gui Yi asked hopefully. To them, the best case scenario was that Yuan Kou's invasion had ended and the humans had retaken Yueyang Fort. They only needed to use the Void Gate to return to Yueyang Fort and they would be safe.
From what Gui Yi remembered, if Yuan Kou wasn't that strong, it wouldn't even take a month. It would only take a few days for the humans to retake Yueyang Fort.
Unfortunately, Gui Yi's hope was doomed to fail.
"No, Yueyang Fort is still under Yuan Kou's control. There's a Universe Level Yuan Kou guarding this place. Other than that, there are at least a thousand Demon Beasts Yuan Kou inside the fort."
Guhan replied. When he was looking for the secret mark, he used Qing Pin's vision to calculate the number of Demon Beasts.
"Is that so, there are still more than 1000 Yuanhun …" Gui One's face was a little bad. Because of the three-party agreement, the free people could save them and leave this place, but they couldn't fight the Yuanhun. Therefore, the Universe class Yuanhun guarding this place was their biggest threat.
Without a way to deal with this Universe Level Yuan Kou, as soon as they appeared in Yueyang Fort, they would die.
"Then can we ask Yuzhang City to help us?"
Gui Yi's face was full of hope. "As long as Master Yun Xiao or Master Bai Ju can stall this Universe Level Yuan Kou, we can escape Yueyang Fort."
"Don't count on Yuzhang City's power!"
Guhan smiled bitterly. "…" Yuan Kou has already blocked all communication outside of Yuzhang City. Now, unless someone escapes back to Yuzhang City, they won't be able to contact the two immortal sword wielders.
"However, Yuzhang City is in a difficult situation. If Yi Wenjun and the others bring the news back to Yuzhang City, then all of Yuzhang City's attention will be focused on the situation in Meiling Mountain Range. I'm afraid they won't have time to care about us."
“”
"What did you say?
What news?
Why would Yuzhang City's attention be on Meiling Mountain Range? "
Gui Yi threw three questions at Guhan. Guhan could only smile bitterly. "Sorry, I can't tell you the answers to these questions. Without Yuzhang City's permission, it's a top secret!"
"Then what do we do?"
Gui Yi sat back down. "With the Universe Level Yuan Kou guarding here and Yuzhang City unable to send any reinforcements, do we really have to wait here like idiots?"
"No, you still have a chance!"
Misaka Mikoto, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said to Guhan, "Hercules contacted me just now. He said that Loki wants to see me now. I'm going to Meiling Mountain Range now!"
"So, Hercules went to see Loki himself!"
Guhan heard Misaka Mikoto's words and remembered that Hercules had suddenly left the command center. He immediately pulled Misaka Mikoto to a corner and whispered to her.
"Hercules must have noticed that you are very suspicious. He might have told Loki. If you go there rashly, you'll fall into Loki's trap!"
Guhan reminded Misaka Mikoto. In fact, Guhan felt that Hercules did not tell on Loki because Hercules had always regarded Loki as his good friend.
"It's okay. With my strength, even five Lokis can't do anything to me. I have to go to Loki, find out where my friends are, and rescue them!" Misaka Mikoto's words were very firm. Guhan tactfully did not say anything else.
"What about you, Brother Guhan? What are you going to do?
Are you going to see Loki with me, or are you going to stay here? "Misaka Mikoto threw the question to Guhan.
According to Guhan's original plan, if Misaka Mikoto wanted to see Loki, he would go with Misaka Mikoto and secretly give her advice. At the same time, he would borrow Misaka Mikoto's power to destroy these Yuan Kou's.
However, the sudden appearance of these sword bearers had disrupted Guhan's plan. Guhan had to choose between Misaka Mikoto and these sword bearers.
"I'll stay here … Without me, I'm afraid the fate of these sword bearers …" Guhan hesitated for a while and made his final decision. However, he still had a few words of advice for Misaka Mikoto.
"Sister Mikoto, listen to my advice. If Loki appears in front of you, don't say a word. Kill him immediately and your friends won't be in any danger … You mustn't talk too much to Loki. You'll be tricked by his words. He's too cunning."
"I understand!
Don't worry. With my intelligence, Loki won't be tricked! "
After saying that, Misaka Mikoto drew a line in the air, leaving behind a Void Door that led to the ground. She then disappeared into the void.
"My sister, it's because you're not that smart that I'm worried that you'll be tricked by Loki's words!"
Guhan slapped his head painfully. He began to regret his decision. He should have gone to see Loki with Misaka Mikoto.
The sword-bearers were not that important. As long as they had enough food and oxygen, they wouldn't be in any danger.
Unfortunately, Misaka Mikoto had already left. She had probably set off with Hercules to the Mei Ling Mountain Range. Guhan could not catch up with them even if he wanted to.
Guhan could only do what he had to do. He brought the sword bearers out of Fort Yue Yang and returned to Yuzhang City.
…
On the apple tree in Fort Yue Yang, the thick branches blocked the faint Void Door. The magical beasts, Yuan Kou, did not notice the presence of such a deadly thing.
A few minutes later, an apple fell from the tree that was full of ripe red apples … Oh, no, it was a solid cold.
Guhan looked around cautiously. After confirming that Yuan Kou was not around, he waved his hand at the Void Door. The rest of the sword bearers jumped down one by one, including Uncle Huang who had a bad leg. With the help of two other sword bearers, he also jumped out of the Void Door.
"Master Gui Yi, you're the most familiar with this place. Can you tell me how to get to the hidden workshop you mentioned?" Guhan asked Gui Yi as they walked side by side.
According to the plan that Guhan and Gui Yi had come up with, the most important thing was to find a workshop to help the sword bearers repair their Swordmaidens.
The sword bearers' Swordmaidens' durability had been mostly destroyed during the battle a month ago. It was only a facade that they could summon forty Swordmaidens at once. In reality, their Swordmaidens' durability was less than twenty percent and would shatter with a single touch.
That was why before Guhan led them out of Yueyang City, he had to find a way to repair their Swordmaidens!
