Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Mu sped up again: "Don't come in! Run!"
The Undead Knight, whose attack missed, landed safely on the ground. He was about to ride his horse in pursuit, but for some reason he suddenly stopped and went towards the wall of the cave.
"Humanity……"
The hoarse and irritating sound echoed in the cave, faintly revealing anger.
Zhang Mu was too lazy to pay attention and continued running without looking back.
He passed by Frederica, who was aiming at the Undead Knight with a bow, and squatted down. When he stood up again, he had her on his shoulders.
The crack in the door was just a few steps away, and Zhang Mu happily carried Frederica and prepared to go out.
"die……"
A terrifying magical wave swept over Zhang Mu. He turned around subconsciously and saw a dark crescent-shaped energy blade rushing towards him vertically.
"Fuck! Such a big deal!"
Chapter 72 The Silver Treasure Box is on His Possession
Zhang Mu felt that the skeleton on the throne was too stingy.
There are at least seventy or eighty silver treasure chests in your house. What's wrong with me just touching four?
Of course, complaining cannot solve the crisis.
Before the half-moon energy blade could hit him, Zhang Mu took a big step forward and rushed out of the crack in the door, immediately sticking to the right wall of the cave.
"boom--"
Two heavy and tall stone doors were shattered, with rocks flying everywhere.
The attack was blocked by the gate. Fearing that the undead would chase him out, Zhang Mu quickly ran along the tunnel.
"My...door!" An angry roar came from the cave.
"I'll come back and help you fix it when I'm free. Don't chase me." Zhang Mu took out a flashlight, shouted and ran away.
He ran like this for about two hours without stopping. When he heard no more horse hooves behind him, he stopped and put Frederica down, panting heavily.
"It's okay." Zhang Mu bent over and supported himself on his knees, comforting her while panting.
After catching his breath, he straightened up and leaned against the cave wall, waving to Frederica who was standing in the middle of the tunnel: "Come on, take a look at what's in the treasure chest."
"Zhang Mu." Frederica walked over slowly, lowering her head. "When we get the third treasure chest, it's time to turn back."
"You, why, why..."
"Why can't you understand the preciousness of life!"
She raised her head abruptly, grabbed Zhang Mu's collar with both hands, and her expression was more excited than ever before:
"Why, why on earth?"
"Mother doesn't understand, the Great Elder doesn't understand, Wager doesn't understand...you don't understand either!"
“I thought…I thought!
I thought you, who were willing to fight against the monsters for the unrelated townspeople, would understand..."
"Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu, this is not courage, this is recklessness..."
The scream turned into a soft cry with a little sob, and Zhang Mu found that the hand that was grabbing his collar slowly loosened.
Frederica was pressed against the wall of the cave with her arms against it. She stared at her chest with her forehead, and Zhang Mu could not see her expression.
I could only see the soft emerald green hair and the tips of her ears, and I could feel my chest gradually getting warm and moist.
"Frederica." Zhang Mu was silent for a while, then smiled, "I don't think I have the courage or anything like that."
"When it comes to being serious, I am a very timid person."
"As for what you said about fighting off the monster tide, I told you that I caused the trouble, so I should solve it."
“That’s the principle.”
"Principles are more important than life."
Zhang Mu frowned and thought, if I didn’t have the ability to resurrect, would I help my teacher and senior schoolmates if they were in trouble?
Will do.
Without giving it much thought, he told himself this in his heart.
"Yes, principles are more important than life."
Zhang Mu explained softly: "I don't deny the value of life, but people always have to persist, otherwise, life will be too boring.
Similarly, I do not deny that most people are unwilling to do so, but there are always people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for certain existences.
Frederica, it's not that life is worthless, but for humans, there is something more important than life... "
"I don't understand." After a long silence, Frederica responded muffledly.
It’s normal not to understand, as her experience is different from his.
Therefore, Zhang Mu did not explain further: "Perhaps one day in the future you will..."
"Your Highness!"
"Aili, Wager, come quickly, we found His Highness and Mr. Zhang Mu!" There was light coming from the corner not far away, and Sardari's voice sounded soon after.
The light source quickly approached the two people.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhang Mu, we have been looking for a long time and thought... uh..."
When he ran closer, Sardari saw the two men standing face to face and pressed tightly together, and he was stunned.
"Hurry over there." Ellie's voice urged from a distance.
"Wait!" Sardari turned around in panic, jogging back and forth, holding out his arms to stop Ellie and Wager, "We'll go later."
"why?"
"No reason, just listen to me, you won't go wrong!"
Sardari was not a big man, so the two elves easily passed him and saw a man and an elf hurriedly separating not far away.
"God... God is above!" Ellie hugged Sardari's arm and jumped up and down, "Sardari, is our prince going to fall in love?!"
"That means Mr. Zhang Mu will travel around the continent with us?
If I had known this, I would have used His Highness to entice Mr. Zhang Mu to agree to my suggestion!"
Sardari's mouth twitched: "His Highness will kill you if he hears."
"What nonsense are you talking about." Frederica walked over slowly, her tone returning to normal, and Zhang Mu followed behind her.
"Wag." She looked at the silent Wag, "How did you find this place?"
"It's all Sardari's responsibility, just ask him." Wager replied indifferently.
Then they had a conversation.
It turned out that after the three elves lost track of Zhang Mu and his friends, they chose to search for the secret entrance in the hall where the lava beasts roamed.
Fortunately, we found it in just half an hour.
After entering the tunnel, they followed the path in a wider direction until they found the two people just now.
"Zhang Mu and I have already been to the final treasure hiding place and have taken everything we can. Let's retreat."
The Undead Knights might chase after them at any time, so this was not a suitable place to stay for a long time. Zhang Mu didn't say much and followed them back to the entrance.
After activating the mechanism discovered by Sardari, one man and four elves were enveloped by the sudden light and teleported to the Lava Beast Hall.
Zhang Mu quietly took out his cell phone and took a look. Three days had passed since he accidentally entered the secret tunnel.
Thinking that they wouldn't get a better treasure chest than the silver one if they went any further, the group prepared to leave the maze.
Walk back along the way you came and you will soon reach the entrance hall of the maze.
As soon as he walked out of the archway, Zhang Mu immediately saw two groups of people standing dozens of meters apart.
"Are they planning to collect tolls from us?"
Frederica shook her head. "They don't have the guts to force the elves to do anything."
After saying that, she walked in front and led the four people to the door leading to the ground.
"Madam Elf, please wait a minute." A middle-aged man dressed as a magician stopped at the door and said, "You can call me Fritz.
I have something to ask this human."
"No." Frederica took out a round identity badge from her storage bag and responded indifferently.
Fritz narrowed his eyes and stared at the nameplate. This was not an ordinary elf... he couldn't afford to offend.
Thinking of this, he made a strange gesture, signaling the tribesmen pretending to be adventurers not to act rashly, while preparing to make way.
"The treasure chest of the final treasure trove is in his possession."
The calm voice echoed in the hall, and everyone looked over. It was Wager.
He pointed at Zhang Mu, his expression as dead as a pool of water: "We were lucky enough to enter the secret tunnel, which leads directly to the final treasure hiding place."
"Wag! Are you crazy?" The three elves glared at him.
Seeing this scene, Fritz smiled. The male elf did not lie.
"I'm sorry, Elf Lady, I promise I won't hurt you, please move aside."
He waved his hand, and the tribesmen gathered around him.
People die for money and birds die for food. This principle applies everywhere.
If this elf really wants to attack, then kill her, take the treasure chest of the final treasure trove, and find a remote city to rebuild the family.
After all, the son can be reborn after death, but in the end, the treasure chest in the treasure trove is gone, and it is really gone.
With a sneer in his heart, Fritz said loudly:
"Lady Elf, I hope you understand that life is precious. Is it worthwhile to throw it away for a human?"
"Make way." Zhang Mu pushed away Frederica who was blocking his way. "I am not familiar with these three elves. Let them go."
