"The distance is closer." Pannis tapped his toes on the ice. As the fighting spirit exploded, the jumping force and pedaling force increased significantly. Each step would cross a few meters away, and the speed was as fast as the wind. Ask followed him closely, almost running side by side with him. After several rounds of rotation and tracking, Ask's physical strength was restored, so no longer needed rotation, but instead acted together. While taking another step, Pannis turned his head and said to the sand man assassin: "At this speed, you can catch up today."

It is now the third morning. The two of them have been chasing each other for nearly two days and forty-four hours, successfully bringing the distance closer and closer. It seems that the half-dead who fled ahead has discovered the situation behind him, and the speed of escape has become faster and faster, but such acceleration can only slightly extend the time for the two people to chase, and basically no changes.

"Yeah." The taciturn sandman assassin snorted with his nose as an answer, ran a few more steps, and finally couldn't help but ask in his heart, and his voice was dry: "You have broken through gold, can this path be done?"

"I don't know." Panis's thorny soles pedaled back with force, and his other foot was supported by a single leg with his heel. The smooth heel of the boots glided forward without any obstacles on the ice, and he slipped forward without any effort: "But by chance, I broke through from silver to gold, and felt that I had improved a lot. If I could break through to legend, I could restore my combat power in my heyday. What would happen in the future? I couldn't imagine that if I could break through to the demigod for the second time, maybe even if I face the strongest man with no loss of strength, I could fight."

"The Strongest?" Aske could not have known what the Adventure Group had encountered at the Goblin Research Center, so he was still unfamiliar with this title, but after all, he had a long time to accumulate wisdom, so he could easily understand what Panis meant: "God people?"

"Well, the most powerful group of people among the gods. Ordinary gods can only look up to the strongest people. The meaning can be understood as the demigods among the creatures of the Fourth Age." Panis explained: "The few half-dead people we met are not considered the strongest people, the strongest people I have ever seen. Even if the strength is only one-tenth, I must untie the seal and restore it to the best state if I want to fight with her. However, the strongest people should have all died. The last strong person who still remains in the Yara world also took over the priesthood of the Goddess of Revenge a few months ago. Return to the void to build his own kingdom of gods, so you don't have to consider the problem of the strongest people."

"Very good." Ask responded in the most concise language, and the two figures fell silent and jumped up and down on the ice field. When Panis stopped talking, the only thing left on the ice field was the footsteps made by stepping on the ground, and the whistling wind that sometimes sounded. The wind on the ice field also invisibly caused a lot of trouble for the tracking of the two. Because it was a chasing with the wind, it was almost impossible to rely on smell to obtain clues from the wind, which was equivalent to weakening the tracking technique by half, making it even harder to find the traces of the enemy.

"Here." Ask was on the ground like an animal, lying on the ground and smelled it for a few seconds, got up and turned a small angle, and began to chase with Panis. After chasing for a few minutes, he suddenly reached out to Panis: "Food."

For three days, the two of them hardly stopped to eat, nor did they stop sleeping. But Panis occasionally took out food while running to eat a few bites to replenish the necessary energy consumption of the body. As for Ask, the physiological characteristics of the Sand people are different from those of humans. They have much smaller demand for food than humans, and they often only eat once a few days. So Panis didn't care about Ask's failure to eat along the way. It was not until Ask asked him for food now that Panis was stunned. While taking the food, he asked: "You chased him into the ice field, don't you prepare enough food?"

"Yeah." Aske nodded. After thinking about it, he added: "There is no time, very little. After finishing eating, I'm ready to go back."

"Oh, you mean you have finished eating, and you are considering whether to stop tracking the original path and leave the ice field? Fortunately, I came here. Otherwise, I will let him go this time. Come, I will give it to you." The tacit cooperation experience made Panis understand what Ask meant without thinking. He kept the running speed unchanged, handed out the cold bread in his hand, and took out the kettle that was placed close to the body temperature protection. However, Ask shook his head and refused to drink water, but took the bread. Panis said with a headache after taking back the kettle: "It's a bit troublesome now. I don't know your situation. I bring very little food. When we kill him and return to my former stronghold, it will take at least three more days. I'm worried that the food is a bit insufficient."

"Then I won't eat it." Asker put down his hand that was holding the bread into his mouth: "You can persist, but you will be weak."

"There's no need. At least before killing him, it's best to stay in the best condition. If you're hungry and weak, you won't have the strength to fight." Panis shook his head, sighed softly, took out a bottle from his backpack with his back hand, and shook it in front of Asker: "Don't worry, I have wine here, and the food belongs to you. It's enough for me to use wine to supplement my physical fitness. You won't drink anyway."

"Yes." Aske also maintained his running speed. After thinking for a moment, he bit off the bread in his hand. The two movements of eating and running had no effect on each other. After eating a few bites, he ate the other pieces that Panis handed over to him together. Then he shook his body while running, and the speed was a little faster. It seemed that he had eaten enough, and the sand man assassin even spoke a little more, and he actually asked in confusion: "Adventure, bring a whole bottle of wine?"

"Well, this is an accident." Panis smiled a little reluctantly and said with a sigh: "Actually this is not my wine, this is Neli's wine."

"Nelly?" Aske's face, which was as sharp as a stone statue, actually showed a surprised expression: "Live up?"

"No, this is her relic." Panis carefully put the bottle back in his backpack and hid it, and said with a wry smile: "A few days ago, I accidentally discovered the safe house we built on the ice field. This is the reserve grain we put in the safe house together. I didn't want to leave her things to others, so I took it away. I just waited for a few days and put some other wine and honey in it. I wanted to take these bottles of stored grain back and hide it, but I didn't expect to consume a bottle here. But it's good that I used the relics she left as food to get her debt back. I think she would be happy if she knew about it."

"Sorry." Aske apologized for his reasons that Penis had to consume Neli's relics, but to understand the doubts in his heart, he still said the longest passage in three days: "I heard that you have been with the people of Neli's adventure group for more than a year. It seems that they have brought you back from despair. Are you joining their adventure group now?"

"Well, I'm officially joining." Panis smiled, lifted the scarf on his face while moving quickly, took a deep breath of cold air, and nodded, "Although I'm not completely saved now, I can't take the first step without them. Even for the sake of repaying me, I can't leave them behind. Besides, seeing them growing up little by little, I always feel like I've seen us back then. That feeling is very magical. If you are not the person involved, you will definitely not understand."

"But you are here." Asker asked in confusion: "How did they grow?"

"So I do almost nothing." Panis smiled and spread his hands: "Except for some experience, unless I have to, I will only do things that match the strength I show now. The rest depends on them, so that they will not squeeze their growth space. As it turns out, it is very effective. They are still growing, both in strength and psychologically."

"Do they agree?" Asker asked in surprise: "Do you have any objection?"

"Of course, agree." Panis's voice sounded a little touched: "They are a few very smart girls. Although we have not stated it clearly, they all keenly guessed my purpose, and no one expressed dissatisfaction. After all, before we met, they also went from dangerous adventures to the present, knowing what the price they need to pay to grow up. Professionals do not need nannies. Only by walking along the road full of blood can they become stronger and stronger. So I guess, even if I want to do more, they will not be willing, and that is irresponsible to them."

"I understand." Aske nodded: "Although the way we get along is strange, those people are indeed qualified to be your new companions."

"Of course, how could I join this adventure group?" Panis paused and said leisurely: "Even from our perspective, those girls are very respectable people. In some ways, they are not weaker than you and me. I believe that maybe in a few years or more, four new demigods will be successfully added to the human race, and they have such potential."

"Maybe, I'll wait and see." Aske's pace also slowed down, and the two of them slowed down almost at the same time, changing from running at high speed to jogging, as if they suddenly became no hurry at all.

"It seems that he knows that it is impossible to run away at this speed. Running down will only make his disadvantages more and more obvious." Panis narrowed his eyes again, and his voice gradually became cold: "So he stopped and prepared to face us head-on. He was smart, but unfortunately it was still a little late."

"As he wished." The sandman assassin and Penis looked at each other, lifted the yellow cloak on the cover, and the cloak formed by sand and gravel penetrated into his body like flowing water, revealing his face like axe: "Fight side by side?"
