"Believe me! About ten steps forward, there is a gap to turn left..."

Thales sounded excited and spoke at a slightly irritable pace: "Go from there!"

"ah?"

Kurtz was a little confused and still resisted his help, wondering:

"But you..."

Feeling the uncooperation of the people around him, Thales became more and more impatient.

The seamstress sighed: "Forget it, it will be faster for you alone..."

Damn it!

This guy……

Where do all these words come from?

"Leave me here, maybe this is the price for me... I shouldn't do unpaid work..."

Thales couldn't bear it anymore. He took a deep breath, leaned against Kurtz's neck in the dark, and shouted into her ear:

"Shut up, bitch!"

Kurtz trembled!

"What did you call me?" She gritted her teeth and said, "Boy?"

"Nonsense!" Thales roared back: "If you die here, who will take care of that lame man who only thinks about shit?"

"Without you, one day, he will die in some remote and shabby alley!"

"It rots into the soil and no one even knows!"

Kurtz's arm around his neck trembled slightly.

Thales dragged the seamstress and moved forward desperately, gritting his teeth and saying: "Stop your stupid chatter! We will definitely get out alive!"

"I don't have that much free time to send you a message. The prince is very busy!"

"No matter what you want to say to anyone, say it yourself!"

Kurtz's voice trailed off.

Only her low breathing could be heard in his ears.

"Damn..." Kurtz gritted his teeth, suppressed his voice, and sniffed:

"What do you know...a little brat that no woman has ever touched..."

But she no longer resisted, but followed Thales's rhythm and limped forward.

The collapse behind us is getting closer and closer.

Thales suddenly left the rock wall he had been supporting and used force to carry the woman to the other side of the rock.

And just a second after they left, the rock wall suddenly cracked and collapsed.

"Follow my footsteps, there is an uphill slope ahead, you have to climb up..."

Kurtz was surprised: "Huh?"

Thales, who was so tired that he was out of breath, didn't bother to explain: "Here we are, reach out and crawl! It's right in front of us!"

The seamstress became suspicious: "But how did you know..."

"Hell, climb up!" Thales pulled the opponent's arm and rushed up the slope, pushed Kurtz's chest with his shoulders, climbed up with the seriously injured Kurtz, and roared angrily: "No!

Stop talking!"

"This is the prince's order!"

Kurtz was choked. She had a tough personality, but surprisingly she didn't retort this time.

Instead, he obediently followed the prince to escape.

This is probably the most well-behaved time in her life.

They climbed up the slope, and only a few seconds later, it was covered by a fallen rock slab.

"Boost……"

Thales gasped and urged: "I try to choose a safe path...but...the rock formations under our feet are fragile...the back is about to...collapse..."

Kurtz didn't say much, but put half of his weight on Thales' shoulders and stepped up his pace.

The darkness of loneliness and the endless years are a terrible torture.

But knowing that there is a fatal threat behind you, but still can only grope forward in the endless darkness, this is torture worse than torture.

Work hard to move forward, work hard to climb, and work hard to explore.

Try to climb over obstacles and avoid dangers.

But still can't see the way out, can't see the sun.

The surroundings were still dark.

I can't see the sun, I can't see my fingers, I can't see the light.

It seems like everything is in vain.

Why, why hasn’t it arrived yet...

Did you go wrong?

The hope in Thales's heart gradually faded away, and he had a feeling that if he was the only one walking alone, sooner or later he would be tortured mad by this terrible torture.

but……

but now……

He felt the same warm body on the right side, and felt the heartbeat in her chest that was so close to his, pulsing one by one.

No.

He can't give up.

Thales bit the tip of his tongue hard and let the pain remind him.

He can't give up!

Darkness still shrouded Thales's eyes, as if he had become completely blind in these ten minutes.

The ground is cold and damp, and it is bumpy and difficult to walk underfoot.

But he can't give up.

They did not walk in a straight line, but made several hurried back and forth trips through the dark underground maze.

Regardless of whether they were above their heads or under their feet, the collapse behind them never stopped, and gravel could barely pass their heels several times.

"No, don't turn there. There is a cliff ahead, leading to a deeper underground... Let's turn right..." Thales gritted his teeth.

He took a deep breath, touched the rock wall, shook his head, and confirmed his feeling.

"How do you know?" Kurtz, who had endured it all the way, couldn't help but finally spoke and questioned: "The sound of falling rocks on the right is too loud, we will be buried alive!"

"Because there is a cliff in front. I don't know if it cracked open after an earthquake thousands or hundreds of years ago..." Thales shook his head: "And there is a naturally formed cave on the right, which is very solid..."

"No, no, no," Kurtz's questions became more and more serious: "I'm asking about cliffs, earthquakes...how do you know these?"

Thales' breathing stagnated slightly.

They turned right and entered a cave. There were constant tremors from the top of the cave, and dust fell from time to time above their heads.

But it didn't collapse after all.

"have no idea……"

Thales climbed hard and murmured: "I just, I just know..."

He just knows the way.

That's all.

The prince knew very well that Kurtz was very suspicious of how he suddenly became a familiar guide.

But he didn't have time to explain.

Just now, the moment I touched the rock wall.

Time does not slow down, the perspective does not rise, and the senses do not intensify.

But Thales felt that he had seen something more.

The break in the rock formation…

The squeeze of the mountains…

The rhythm of the earth’s crust…

And where he should go.
To be continued...
