Chapter 423 Collapse
Boom——
The scene of dozens of Poké Ball bombs with various functions exploding together is gorgeous and dazzling with an awe-inspiring aura of death.
The air waves generated by the explosion were mixed with sand, dust and gravel, covering the sky and the sun, and swept away in all directions like a tsunami.
The earth shook and the houses shook.
The entire underground space is collapsing.
The stone pillars and slabs that fixed the underground space began to fall apart under the devastation of the explosion. Large pieces of gravel were pushed by the air waves and sputtered everywhere with a sound of breaking through the air, like solid cannonballs. Whistling by.
At this time, what was originally a scene of Fang Xiaocao dragging Taotie away for his life has long ago turned into a scene of Princess Taotie hugging Fang Xiaocao and running wildly, from the elf ball bomb being activated to exploding. At first, the time between was too short.
It was so short that at a gluttonous speed and with all the strength he could muster, he sprinted for a hundred meters and only just passed the stairs and reached the underground floor.
At this time, the speed of collapse of the underground space far exceeded Taotie's speed.
The collapse has already reached its feet.
Crack-Crack--
Crash--
Taotie was holding Fang Xiaocao. His front feet had just left the stairs, and the stairs began to crack with his back feet. In an instant, In a short time, it completely collapsed.
Looking at the cracks that have spread to the feet.
Sand and rocks kept falling overhead.
Taotie knew that he couldn't escape at all.
We can only think of ways to protect Fang Xiaocao and prevent Her Royal Highness from getting hurt.
Taotie ran wildly with Fang Xiaocao in his arms, his eyes scanning around, looking for favorable terrain suitable for temporary escape. The cracks behind him were chasing after him, and they were collapsing faster and faster.
Often the moment Taotie's front legs leave, the back legs have completely collapsed. Many times, the collapse occurs simultaneously with Taotie's lifting of his legs.
Cold sweat broke out on Taotie's forehead.
“Damn, it’s so exciting.”
Taotie couldn’t help but scream.
Suddenly, Taotie's eyes lit up.
He saw a familiar place.
This is where he used the terminal to detect the presence of a large amount of metal underground.
According to the terrain analysis, it is most likely directly above the vault, and it happens to be in the corner.
Although Taotie is a tiger, he just doesn’t like to use his brain. It’s not because of his lack of IQ. On the contrary, being able to develop this skill in the bloody world and live a free and comfortable life proves that he is better than Most people are smart. Although it is difficult to move forward without force in the world, without brains and force alone, they will have been cheated by others for a long time.
He knew he couldn't escape, so instead of risking his life to escape, he might as well choose the favorable terrain to save himself.
As we all know, the triangle is the most stable.
If you can't run away during an earthquake, your chances of survival huddled in a corner are much higher than in other places.
The corners of the triangle are the last to collapse.
The vault below will most likely not collapse.
The most deformation or sinking.
From the thickness of the metal door of the vault, it is not difficult to see how durable it is.
As for this kind of vault, not only the door is made of metal, but the space inside the vault must also be made of metal walls of the same material thickness.
In order to provide effective protection.
This is common knowledge.
Taotie naturally knows this too. After silently synthesizing this information, Taotie knew that this was an excellent and favorable terrain for him to lead Fang Xiaocao to save himself, so he ran over with Fang Xiaocao in his arms without hesitation.
Putting Fang Xiaocao in the corner, Taotie stood firm, put his hands against the wall, and used his own body to support Fang Xiaocao's human shield.
"Your Highness, put your head in your hands and don't move. You will be fine in a while."
Taotie grinned and comforted Fang Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao looked at Taotie, her eyes a little moist. She knew what Taotie meant by doing this. Taotie wanted to use his own life to exchange for her a chance to survive.
The gravel collapsing above his head could kill Taotie if he was not careful.
"Taotie..."
Fang Xiaocao looked at Taotie.
Taotie grinned "hehe" and said, "Don't worry, I'm lucky, I won't die."
Crash——
As he spoke, the top of his head collapsed again.
But what happened under the feet was just as Taotie expected. Although the ground collapsed, it did not sink or collapse. It only exposed the layer of metal of unknown material under the floor tiles.
Seeing this scene, Taotie knew that he had made the right bet. The chances of Her Royal Highness surviving had been greatly improved, as long as he could bear the falling gravel above his head.
Taotie secretly made up his mind that even if he died, he would die standing and block all the gravel for Her Royal Highness.
The closer to this critical moment, Fang Xiaocao's mind became calmer. After thinking for a moment, Fang Xiaocao said in a deep voice: "If you can squat down and hug me, you can not only block the gravel for me, but also It can also reduce your own hit area, maybe both of us can survive."
Taotie was stunned: "Why didn't I think of that?"
Fang Xiaocao rolled his eyes, looked at the crumbling stone slab above his head, and shouted, "Because you are a tiger, why don't you squat down quickly!"
Taotie nodded, immediately squatted down and hugged Fang Xiaocao, Pulling Fang Xiaocao into his arms, smelling the smell of sweat on Taotie's body, Fang Xiaocao shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand to protect Taotie's head, and waited quietly for the aftermath of the collapse.
Crashing——
The stone slab above her head did not keep Fang Xiaocao waiting for a long time. Almost as soon as she hugged Taotie’s head, the already shaky stone slab above her head fell into pieces. It collapsed, and gravels of different sizes fell like raindrops. Countless gravels hit Taotie's back and Fang Xiaocao's hands.
A huge pain hit. Fang Xiaocao knew that his hand had been smashed by the gravel. He tried to move his fingers. The bones were fine. It was probably just cut by the sharp edges of the gravel.
Rumble——
Next second!
A heavy stone slab fell down.
Rubbing Taotie's back, he hit the ground hard, splashing smoke and dust all over the sky.
If Taotie had not listened to Fang Xiaocao and squatted down to hug her, this slap-thick stone slab would have definitely hit Taotie on the head.
It’s hard for Taotie not to die!
Feeling the movement of the stone slab falling to the ground, Fang Xiaocao and Taotie were both shocked.
Taotie was secretly glad that he had listened to Fang Xiaocao, otherwise...
Just thinking about it made Taotie scared.
Who wants to die if he can live?
Being brave and not afraid of death does not mean that you want to die.
Not to mention Taotie has a wife and children.
Fang Xiaocao was also very lucky. Fortunately, she was calm enough to correct Taotie in time, otherwise she would have lost her beloved general.
Crash——
At this moment, the underground space completely collapsed, and all the stone slabs above the head were shattered. Countless gravel fell down, raining down on Taotie, and Fang Xiaocao was blown away. Buried under the rubble with Taotie...
As Fang Xiaocao and Taotie were buried, the collapse of the underground space was coming to an end.
Before losing consciousness, Fang Xiaocao was still worried about Tom's safety and secretly prayed for Tom: "Don't let anything happen to Tom..."
