Chapter 125 124. Death Chase
"Of course, I'm the Sword Master."
"Is that so? You are so powerful..." Anna's voice gradually became softer, "It is said that there are only three sword masters in the Knights Temple..."
Before she finished speaking, she seemed to be asleep. She closed her eyes and her breathing became steady.
Su Hong called softly, but received no response from the girl. Now he was sure that she was really asleep.
"At my current speed, it will probably take three hours to get to Fire Shelter No. 404 in Qinghai City. I hope everything goes well."
It was not easy to identify the direction in the vast snow. Unless he could find the ruins of Shengshi first, he could determine the specific direction.
Three hours is probably less. If I get lost in this world, I don’t know how long it will take to get out.
However, he didn't know where he would go, and the Dawn Cultists were even less clear about it. Maybe he could escape the tracking of the cult.
"Philip."
Su Hong called Philip out and asked him to explore in different directions, trying to find the location of Qinghai City.
After Anna fell asleep, he had no one to talk to, so he kept silent and walked on.
Although he has lost his way, he just needs to walk in the opposite direction of Dawn City.
As long as they can escape the pursuit of Shuguang Cultists, it will not be too late for Qinghai City to find him slowly.
Five hours later, a rare brief period of daylight appeared in the sky, which lasted for about ten minutes, and then the sky and the earth darkened again.
But relying on the trajectory of the sun at sunrise, he finally identified the vague direction.
After only walking for an hour, he returned to the ruins of Shengshi City.
In this deserted city, only the sound of howling cold wind was left. They had fled the camp for a long time, but there was no movement from the Dawn cultists, which seemed a little abnormal.
Su Hong stopped and frowned. There was always some ominous premonition in his heart.
"Does Melanie really not know we've escaped the camp?"
"Or did she do it on purpose?"
As soon as this idea came out, his head felt like being struck by lightning, and he instantly became alert
"Suppose Melanie had already discovered Anna's identity and knew that Anna and I would run away..."
"Then she just let us leave. The target...is it the gathering place of the resistance?!"
Although this is just his personal speculation, it is not impossible to happen.
Maybe Melanie's amber eyes still have photos of him or Anna, waiting for them to take the initiative to expose the location of the resistance.
Fortunately, the image of the Amber Eye can only see the image of the target and cannot hear the sound, otherwise he and Anna would have been exposed during the conversation.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
In order to test his idea, Su Hong remained calm on the surface and secretly arranged for Philip to hide in the ruins.
If his guess is true, Melanie will definitely lead the troops to follow the route he took.
Once they passed through downtown Shengshi, Phillip could see them.
After Phillip returned to Shengshi and hid himself in the shadows, Su Hong continued to move forward, pretending to know nothing.
He continued walking aimlessly for an hour. Just when he thought his guess was just a false alarm, Phillip flew back quietly.
"Master, it's not good."
Phillip looked a little panicked, "A lot of people are following you, including the old witch. They seem to know where you are going and are following you."
"Sure enough..." Su Hong's heart sank. One of him and Anna was photographed by Melanie.
Anna was awakened by Su Hong from her sleep.
"What's wrong?" The girl was a little confused.
Su Hong continued to circle around. In order to prevent Melanie from seeing his strangeness, he said without looking back: "Melanie's amber eyes may have left you or me behind."
"Our whereabouts are being exposed under the eyes of the Dawn Cultists. We can no longer move towards the Fire Sanctuary." Anna was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Sir, please let me down."
"Melanie's magic can only target one person."
"Let's run separately. If she targets me, please return to the Fire Sanctuary alone to seek support."
"If the rebels are willing to support me, I might be able to save my life."
"What if the rebels are unwilling to support?" Su Hong asked.
Anna fell into silence after hearing this.
She is not an important person, and the most valuable information on her body has been given to Su Hong. It is normal even if the resistance army is unwilling to support her.
Thinking of this, the little flame of hope that had just risen in her heart because of Su Hong was extinguished by the ruthless reality.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Su Hong said, "The person Melanie is targeting may not be you."
"She used the photo on me a long time ago, and she should have seen the scene when you transferred the information to me through the photo."
"Let's go separately for now. Let's find out who she used the photo on first. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."
Anna nodded, got off Su Hong's back, and stepped on the snow with her bare feet.
Su Hong took one look at her hugging her body and shivering, then took off her armor and handed it to her.
"My armor is still warm. You can wear it and leave."
"I will go find you when the results are known."
Anna thanked him and, with his help, put on the heavy armor.
To be honest, this armor really didn't fit her well, and she walked crookedly.
Fortunately, she was also immortal and quickly adapted to it.
"You keep walking in a straight line, and I'll go around a few times to see."
After leaving Phillip and Anna where they were, Su Hong wore thin clothes and acted as if nothing was wrong. He activated his storm magic and moved forward at full speed, stirring up blizzards on the snow.
Anna stared blankly at Su Hong's leaving figure. After a while, she followed Su Hong's instructions and continued to move forward in a straight line and left the place.
Ten minutes later, the roar of hounds came from the darkness, followed by Dawn cultists holding torches and flashlights.
Melanie was sitting on the sled, her beauty restored, and Su Hong's back was reflected in her amber eyes.
The woman said coldly: "Keep chasing him, we can't let him escape."
"Sir, what should I do with that traitor? Are we just going to let her run away like this?"
Melanie sneered, "She can't run away. She can't go anywhere except where the rebels gather."
"When I find out the exact location of the rebels, I'm going to skin her alive and eat her."
"Chase!"
"Roar!" The ghost hound gasped, turned around, and ran in the direction of Su Hong.
Half an hour later, Su Hong, who was still wandering around, saw Phillip returning.
"Master, master, that old witch is looking for you!"
"Sure enough, her photo is still on me."
Su Hong thought deeply: "Phillip, you escort Anna to the Fire Sanctuary to move reinforcements. Those undead people don't know me, but they know you."
"There's no point in running like this. Melanie will lose her patience sooner or later."
"Only rebel reinforcements can save us."
"Then I'm leaving." Phillip also knew that the situation was urgent, waved goodbye to Su Hong, and immediately ran along the original road to find Anna.
