Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

But now I have to admit that Gareth is right.

Ais cast an extremely unwilling look in the direction where Revis disappeared, suppressing the desire to chase her.

"How's Finn doing?"

Gareth turned around and looked at Jiang Li.

"no!"

Jiang Li threw the crystal bottle to the ground with a gloomy expression.

"I've even used two bottles of Panacea Elixir, but the wound hasn't even shown any signs of healing. Instead, it's getting worse!"

Finn lay on the ground, his face as pale as gold paper.

A huge wound appeared from the shoulder to the waist, and blood gushed out freely. Even though the body was covered by the colorful light, the wound still stubbornly remained open.

"It seems to be a curse."

Gareth let out a tricky sigh, his face looking slightly grim.

"This little human was so arrogant when giving orders, and now even lying down is causing trouble for others."

"curse?"

"Similar to magic, but much rarer and more unreasonable, damn it!"

Gareth cursed, "It seems the black sword in that red-haired woman's hand is cursed with an incurable curse. There's no way to heal a wound, so even the panacea won't work!"

"What should I do?"

Raul knelt on the ground with a pale face, tears constantly flowing from his eyes.

"Will the captain... die?"

Not only him, most of the members behind him were looking confused at this moment.

Finn is the backbone.

He is the brain of the clan, and with him there is hope for the clan.

Once the pillar falls, everyone will lose their backbone.

Not only did the direction of moving forward disappear, but even the hope of survival became extremely small.

"How do you cure a curse?"

Jiang Li raised his head and looked at Gareth.

"The only way this will work is to defeat the caster!"

Gareth shook his head. "But as you can see, that woman is so strong that she can defeat Finn and Tione in an instant. Moreover, she is hiding in the maze. We can't find her at all... We can only bring Finn back to the ground and see if Armid can find a solution."

It would be foolish to think about killing the enemy when you can't protect yourself, let alone an enemy that is so powerful that you can't kill it.

"What to do next?"

"How would I know?"

"The captain has fallen..."

The commotion spread in the back.

"Shut up, you bastards!"

Bert was extremely annoyed by what he heard and shouted to the back to stop the commotion.

"Uh-huh!"

As if awakened by Burt's angry shout, Finn groaned and woke up from his coma.

The view was filled with blood, Raul was in tears, and everyone was looking at him with heavy expressions.

Even though he was seriously injured and his brain was dizzy, Finn grasped the situation in an instant.

He was killed.

Because of a moment of hesitation, he was defeated by the weirdo Levis.

His gaze paused on Raul for a moment, then moved away and finally landed on Jiang Li.

"You come... to command..."

Lips trembling.

I was so weak that even speaking a word became a luxury.

Without exception, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Li.

He was the least experienced member of the entire clan and almost the youngest, but he had only just become a cadre half a month ago, and his prestige was far less than Gareth's.

But Finn still chose him instead of considering Gareth.

At this moment, there was not a trace of doubt in everyone's eyes.

"……I see."

Jiang Li nodded after a moment of silence.

At this critical moment of the clan's survival, an extremely heavy burden fell on him.

It wasn't until he agreed that Finn's expression relaxed slightly, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

His breathing was a little weaker than before.

Even a Lv. 6 adventurer wouldn't be able to hold out for long if he kept bleeding.

"What's next?"

Gareth turned his gaze to Jiang Li.

"Give me the order."

Bert looked impassive.

Ais looked at him in silence.

Raul, Angie and others looked over tremblingly.

There was only trust in his eyes.

There is no way not to trust.

“There is no other choice.”

Jiang Li stood up and held the two swords in his hands again.

He closed his eyes, as if leaving everything to fate.

"Raul, carry Finn on your back, and we'll retreat!"

Chapter 405: Like Catching a Turtle in a Jar

2023-06-01

"Damn it, we're separated!"

Tiona was filled with depression.

She looked around the passage, confusion evident on her face.

Where is this place?

Where to go next?

Well, I have no idea!

"Tiona, what should we do next?"

The girl's voice calling from behind her made her even more anxious.

"Ahahaha...Narvi, why don't you just take charge?"

Tiona turned around and gave the human girl from the second army a smile filled with eager anticipation.

"No, no, no, I can't!"

Narvi waved her hands repeatedly, "Now we can only rely on you, Tiona!"

You must not say that!

Tiona secretly groaned.

She is the type of person who uses her fists faster than her brain when encountering problems. Since she is not very smart, other cadres are basically responsible for the brain-intensive tasks. It is really difficult for her to suddenly be asked to take charge of something.

"At least it would be nice if I fell with Livilia..."

Tiona felt bitter.

The moment she fell, she saw Livilia also fell into the pit. It was a pity that the two of them did not fall in the same place. If they fell in the same place, Livilia would have been the one to make the decision.

"But there's nothing we can do now."

Tiona glanced at the people behind her.

They all fell down the pit with her, and now they all had expressions of trust on their faces, as if to say, "Tiona, we're counting on you."

But to be honest, she was very panicked and had no idea what to do.

"No, I have to cheer up too. I'm the only cadre here!"

Tiona slapped her cheeks hard.

No matter how anxious I am now, it will not help. Since I am the only cadre, I must take the corresponding responsibility!

"Okay, let's get as far up as we can and reunite with Finn and the others!"

"Oh!"

The image of Finn being badly injured lingered in everyone's mind.

But now everyone tacitly agreed not to bring up the topic, as if Finn was still waiting for their return.

If this issue is brought up, morale will really plummet to the bottom and this group of people will be beyond saving.

"Ti, Tiona...!"

"What's wrong, Narvi?"

Tiona followed the gaze of Nalvi, whose tongue was trembling, and her eyes widened.

The monster, about two feet long, was covered in disgusting mucus. It had no organs or face, and its feces-yellow body was wriggling from the ceiling, walls, and other places.

The target is Tiona and the others!

"Poisonous demon maggots!"

"The most terrifying and poisonous monster in the lower level!"

"Calm down, calm down. Find the magic sword first!"

"But Tiana, we don't have any magic swords!"

“…Run!!”

They had experienced the horror of the poisonous maggots when they returned from the last expedition. They almost killed Loki's family. If they didn't have H-level abnormal state resistance, it would be impossible to resist its toxicity!

Several people in the group screamed and quickly ran to the other side of the passage.

"Shadow?"

Tiona and the others were running quickly in the passage when they suddenly saw several figures in black cloaks appear in front of them.

"For Lord Tanados!"

"Julius, here I come!"

"Celia, wait for me!"

After seeing the few people, these people raised their heads and shouted wildly, then rushed towards them without dodging.

"These guys!"

Tiona glanced at the poisonous demon maggots that were chasing her relentlessly, and could only grit her teeth and swing her iron fist at the black cloak in front of her.
