The cave was deeper than Victor imagined, and it didn't look like it was dug by man. It was very humid inside, with water flowing in many places, soaking their clothes.
Victor's coat had long been taken off and tied around his waist. Not only was Amanda not wearing a coat, her top had also been torn off and bandaged. Therefore, when both of them were wet, the contact between their skins became even more intimate.
As Victor walked, he heard the woman's breathing on his back. It didn't stop for a moment, but became more and more rapid.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, he coughed and pretended to be concerned: "If you feel uncomfortable, we can find a place to rest first."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Amanda hugged him tighter.
"No...no...it doesn't matter. The wound on my leg is still affecting me. If I don't get out quickly, it may get worse."
Victor glanced at her, said nothing more, and continued to look for the passage under the light of the oil lamp.
"Your heart is beating so fast..." Amanda's face was almost close to Victor's ear, and her breath came straight to her when she spoke.
Victor tilted his neck and chuckled: "All able-bodied men would have such a reaction."
Amanda chuckled and continued to say in her pained and moaning voice: "It seems you are not as bad as I thought."
"I'm not a bad person in the first place, ma'am..."
"Really? Then can you tell me the truth? For example...what happened at the bottom of Rose Lake?"
"You ask me about this topic every time, and my answer never changes..."
Amanda was silent, and then said doubtfully: "It's unbelievable that the Valentine people will let you go..."
"There are many unbelievable things. For example, I will put aside the differences between us and find a way out with you injured on my back... But if you continue to cause trouble for me, I will abandon you and run away, just like
Like Ellord."
Seeing that Victor "still didn't let go", Amanda frowned, but she suddenly brought the topic to another direction, and an ambiguous breath suddenly hit her nostrils.
"How do you know I won't compensate you?"
"Repay me for saving you?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay!" Victor laughed, "How do you want to repay me?"
After hearing this, Amanda squeezed Victor's back again, speaking for herself.
However, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have touched a strange part on Victor's back.
It was different from the skin on an ordinary man's back. Instead, it had a somewhat bumpy feel, as if this man had some lumps on his back.
"What's wrong with your back?"
As soon as she asked, Victor suddenly let out a hiss.
Immediately afterwards, there was very intensive movement above the two people's heads. Victor quickly asked Amanda to put out the oil lamp, and then they saw some shadows of cattails fluttering their wings in the darkness passing above.
"The bat-winged demon..." Victor murmured.
Although he didn't see the appearance of those things clearly at all, Victor judged based on the movement of the bat-winged demon's wings that he came into contact with that those things were most likely them.
However, this did not scare Victor. In his opinion, this was an opportunity. As long as he followed the direction in which these monsters flew, he might be able to find a way out.
Of course, the premise is that they have to hide well and wait until the monsters fly away before lighting the oil lamp.
"Fortunately, they are not bats and can be located by sound waves."
"What are sound waves?" Amanda asked.
Victor didn't answer and continued to carry her on his back.
They walked for a while, and one of Victor's hands was a little dishonest. Amanda felt itching on her thigh, so she said angrily: "Take care of your hands..."
After hearing this, Victor's hand movements stopped instantly, and he smiled: "Didn't you say you wanted to repay me? You wouldn't be happy if you touched me?"
"Not now, idiot..." Amanda's tone no longer had the arrogance and sharpness in the past, but instead was a little shy.
Victor chuckled heartlessly and kept silent.
Then they walked to the edge of a cliff.
Yes, there are cliffs in the cave. With the faint light, Victor saw a stream about ten meters below. It was exactly where the streams had gathered before, and it was still flowing towards the darkness inside.
They can walk along the edge of the cliff and continue to follow the water channel to find their way out.
But at this time, Victor's speed suddenly slowed down for some unknown reason.
Amanda felt his caution, and the pain in her legs made her continue to moan.
However, Victor turned a deaf ear and kept talking to himself: "I still care about the person who attacked me just now... You know, my ability is similar to your divination, I can predict the safe location to avoid rocks."
Amanda gritted her teeth and asked doubtfully: "Really?"
Victor glanced back at her: "But... the guy who attacked me seemed to have a premonition of which direction I would hide in, so he placed explosives there in advance and almost killed me."
Amanda frowned and asked in surprise: "Could the other party be able to read your mind?"
"There is such a possibility..." Victor hummed, "But the amazing thing is that I never saw that guy's face from beginning to end. Is it possible that he is still invisible?"
"The other party is hiding in the dark... We must be careful..."
"That's right!" Victor pretended to have a flash of inspiration, "Well... do you think Mandel, the person who attacked me, and the mushroom-headed female student who invaded my dream are all in the same group?
Son’s?”
"The possibility is more than 90%, even... it can even be said to be obvious." After Amanda finished speaking, she kept coughing, and it sounded like her injury was getting more serious.
Victor held her hand tighter behind his back, and then they suddenly heard rustling sounds under the cliff in front of them.
Victor asked Amanda to put out the oil lamp again, and then stopped after taking two steps, stopping where she was.
He probed his face downwards, and then sneered: "Sure enough, the bat-winged demons gather here to enjoy their prey."
"Wait a minute..." Amanda was very surprised, "This is their nest, not the way out. Your judgment is wrong."
"What does it matter? The water is still flowing in that direction. Now we just need to use your ability to hypnotize these bat-winged demons, and we can get through it safely."
After hearing this, Amanda covered her mouth and coughed twice.
"No...ahem...no, I can't do it. The wound is too painful and I can't concentrate on singing the song."
"That's it..." Victor sighed and shook his head, "That's a shame. Fortunately, I have a second plan..."
"Second plan?" Amanda's eyes showed surprise, but what she never expected was that at the next moment, Victor's eyes burst out with ferocity and sharpness, and he threw her away without hesitation.
cliff!
"Ah~~!!!"
Following the woman's heart-rending screams, Victor glared at her with cold eyes and disappeared within the detection range visible to the naked eye.
"You're so fucking pretentious! You stinking bitch!"
He cursed out of anger, and two seconds later he heard the bat-winged demon below began to flap its wings in a noisy manner.
They felt that a "blessing from nature" was delivered directly to their mouths.
Victor heard the woman's cry, but ignored her. He took this opportunity to avoid the lair where the bat-winged demons gathered, and ran along the stream under the cliff.
He has long seen through Amanda's acting skills, and isn't he just acting?
