Chapter 2394 The Final Escape
"Mr. Hamilton, just use whatever method you have."
Granny Siamnod spoke on behalf of the others, handing the small bag to Xia De:
"Do it now, but you take this."
Inside was the broken compass and all the information about the compass and the Heart of the Earth that everyone had collected so far.
"Mother-in-law, what do you mean?"
"You are the most likely to get out of here. Don't say so much. Miss Knight is aware of the need for sacrifice, and so am I. As long as one person can escape from here, my operation will not be considered a failure."
She sighed softly, and Xia De pursed his lips and put away the bag:
"I can't guarantee what will happen, but we will go out together."
They didn't notice that Miss Sandel at the back of the line made an expression as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she lowered her head and said nothing.
So Shade dug out a small piece of normal soil and a few pink ordinary petals from his pocket, took them in both hands and reached into the seal again:
"The power of the earth·healing aura!"
The thrown soil and petals silently dissipated in the golden light, and then the ochre-colored spiritual energy almost instantly filled the center of the three golden rings.
The spiritual energy quickly gathered in Xia De's hands, and after more than ten seconds, a brand new clay chalice was formed in his hands. However, the imprisoned and sealed worm only looked a little smaller than before, and this "purification" did not have much effect.
"Can this magic be used repeatedly?"
Granny Siennode asked, and Xiade shook his head:
"No, it only works the first time."
He looked down at the small wine glass-sized "Earth Holy Grail" in his hand. The inscription on the cup was "Worm":
"It seems that this is the only way. Is there anything else you need to do?"
He looked at the ladies:
"If there is nothing else to do, turn around and get ready. As soon as I make a move, everyone immediately run in the direction we came from."
"Don't mind your companions."
Granny Sienord added, with a serious look on her old face:
"Everyone, listen up. We are all here for the Heart of Oasis. If we didn't have that persistence, we wouldn't have come this far. Now that the Heart of Oasis is about to be found, don't stop because of other things. Run forward. No matter what happens, no one should look back."
"Yes, mother-in-law."
Only the female knight answered her, but everyone knew that if someone really needed to be sacrificed, Miss Knight would probably be the first one willing to sacrifice.
Miss Sandel and Miss Meister also turned around and prepared to run back quickly. Grandma Siamnod, who stood behind Shad, was the last one to turn around.
So Shade reached out to the compass fragment embedded in the golden ring. He thought it would take some effort to remove it. Unexpectedly, after his finger touched the compass fragment, it fell off by itself:
“So easy?”
Boom!
The seal did not have any problems due to the falling of fragments, but the next moment, the ground shook violently, causing Miss Knight and Miss Sander to fall to the ground.
As if the worm had suddenly come alive, the violent shaking inside the "cave" was stronger than any earthquake Shade had ever experienced. The surrounding stone walls also gradually began to wriggle in the shaking, and then bright golden rune strings lit up densely on the stone walls, indicating that the witch's seal was about to be reactivated.
"Run!"
Shade shouted, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he reached out and placed the "worm" holy grail on the golden ring where the "compass fragment" had just been. The holy grail was almost immediately absorbed by the ring, and although the vibration of the ground still did not disappear, Shade clearly felt that the speed of the seal restarting had slowed down.
At this time, Miss Meister had already reached out and pulled up Miss Knight, while Grandma Siamnode pulled up Miss Sandel, and the group of five quickly rushed out.
Running out of a shaking cave is definitely not an easy task, especially because of the high gravity, and it is difficult to get up by yourself once you fall.
Because they still needed the help of the ritual, the five of them basically didn't leave much distance between them. Although Xia De was the last to start, it only took a few steps for him and Granny Siamnode to overtake Miss Knight.
Miss Sandel was the first to rush in, followed by Miss Meister, and then three more people. The light of the ritual symbols held by everyone was gradually dimming as the cave shook more violently, and at this time, Shade was almost certain that the corpse of the worm must be moving in the sea of sand.
"No, this speed is not enough! No one can get out like this!"
Granny Siamnod suddenly shouted, and then pointed at the people around her. As the old elf's face quickly weakened and even turned black, even Shade felt as if a gust of wind was carrying him forward, and his speed suddenly increased.
"You guys leave quickly!"
Granny Siamnode shoved her walking stick into Xiade's hand, then fell to the ground, almost unable to breathe for a moment.
Four people can bear this ritual, and she wants to sacrifice herself to save the four young people. Miss Knight hurriedly tried to hold her back, but Shade was quicker:
"Mother-in-law, now is not the time to talk about this kind of thing."
He carried Granny Sienod on his back and continued running forward, but perhaps because of the influence of the venue, the light-weight old elf gave Shade the feeling that he was carrying a mountain on his back. This phenomenon also appeared in the last "Bone Fantasy".
Miss Meister looked back and then continued to move forward, while Miss Sandel, who was at the front, did not stop when she saw that Shad had already carried Grandma Siamnode on his back.
Everyone continued to move forward. Although gravity was gradually returning to normal, the increasingly violent shaking of the passage did not allow them to move quickly. Xia De was at the end, carrying Granny Siamnod on his back, so he could see that the girls in front of him were staggering like they were dancing.
Because of this, Miss Knight, who was wearing knight armor, accidentally fell to the ground.
She didn't even try to get up:
"Take these out!"
She threw the package forward. This time Miss Sandel did stop, but she only caught the package.
She was at the front and had no chance to come back and pull up Miss Knight, so Shade tried to pull Miss Knight up again, but was pushed away by the female knight who was still swaying from side to side even after falling down:
"leave me alone."
The petrified knight's sword was also thrown to Miss Sandel, who continued to run forward with Miss Meister. After Shade opened Miss Knight's hand, the Sin Chains tied Granny Sienod tightly to his back. After freeing his hands, he directly picked up Miss Knight:
“It’s not time to give up yet.”
As he said this, he threw the satchel that Granny Sienod had just thrown to him and the compass he had just picked up forward:
"Miss Shandel, take them and leave first!"
The mermaid girl subconsciously caught these things again. Now almost all the valuables of the group were on her. Seeing that Xia De was struggling to follow the end of the team, she subconsciously wanted to turn around and run back in the violent shaking, but was scolded by Xia De:
"What? Run forward! Don't stop!"
The blue-haired mermaid had no choice but to continue moving forward, and finally the white moonlight appeared in front of her. When she finally arrived in front of the stone tablet at the entrance, she hugged the stone tablet at the entrance and did not dare to walk out because of the more violent shaking. She just looked out:
"This bug is really moving! It's still moving."
She turned around and shouted loudly to the back, but she couldn't see the other four people behind her.
Just as she was anxiously not knowing what to do, she suddenly heard a harsh friction sound coming from above her head, and at the same time, the stone tablet she was holding was actually shrinking downwards.
Looking up, he saw the stone door that had risen when Shade opened the seal was slowly falling. The seal was about to be fully activated again, causing the inexplicably moved insect to slowly stop.
But she didn't care about the situation outside at this time, and shouted desperately inside:
"Come out quickly! The door is about to close!"
Feeling like he was carrying a mountain on his back and hugging a mountain, Xia De knew that the door was about to close, but he couldn't speed up just because he wanted to.
"You go out first!"
He also shouted loudly to the front, "The power of the red dragon" had already been activated. At this time, the influence of the abnormal gravity near the door was almost disappearing. He could vaguely see the light in front, but he couldn't tell whether he could catch up.
Grandma Siamnode and Miss Knight certainly hoped that Xiade could go out by himself. At this time, even Miss Meister in front turned back and supported Xiade forward.
Xia De didn't know what this lady wanted to do, and the power support she provided was completely at the level of a normal witch, so it only made the four of them speed up slightly.
Miss Sandel finally saw the group of people at this time. She shouted desperately in front of the slowly descending stone door, hoping that they would go faster. She also took a few steps inside, but immediately did not dare to go inside because of timidity.
So she reached out her hand again to try to stop the falling stone door, but as soon as her hand touched the stone, she felt a pain as if she was burned by fire:
"Ah~"
He quickly withdrew his hands, and when he looked again, his ten fingers were covered with blisters from burns.
At this time, the door had already fallen by one third, and she could only kneel on one knee to continue looking in. She could see her companions who were rushing over had moved forward a distance, but according to the mermaid's estimation, even if they arrived at the door at the last moment, they would not be able to pass through the door, which was probably only a crack left at that time.
Anxiously looking up at the slowly falling stone gate, the mermaid girl suppressed the slight fear in her heart, spit out bubbles to cover her hands with a layer of sea-blue light, then reached up again, trying to use her own strength to block the falling stone.
PS: You can guess the effect of the seventh "Fairy Tale Puzzle Lock" that will be released soon. Speaking of which, the number of spirit runes obtained by Shade in this volume is quite a lot. It's almost over, and there is not much content in this volume.
