Tear A Path 187 Deeper Graves

Zhao Wei hadn't faced a Golem before, so he was sufficiently surprised when that happened. The ones Thirteen had faced would seem like cheap imitations when compared. The thing had regenerated so quickly that the baffled Zhao Wei almost thought that he'd made a mistake in his maneuver, maybe the string of the silk trap had dragged on the floor instead of latching on to her legs and cutting them off.

Not just that, he'd activated the paralytic venom trap when he'd tapped her in the face, then he'd at least put in 11 of those, even Guru was taken down even if he wasn't knocked out. She on the other hand, was completely fine as if he hadn't done anything at all.

He pulled his staff out, even though he was pretty sure it wouldn't help at all. Hopefully it'll at the very least, lessen one of the blows for him so he doesn't die in the next exchange. Just as he was preparing to rush forward, her head was suddenly covered by a sack, her arm flailed around to catch the sudden a.s.sailant. Turns out it was Grendolyn herself who came forward.

Jumping down, the pet.i.te girl easily slipped pa.s.sed the roaring giant. After some time, the giant switched from finding the a.s.sailant to trying to pull of the sack from her face so she could return to seeing. But at this point, Grendolyn and Zhao Wei were already far gone from the scene of the fight.

"Don't run, slide!" She said, as she switched from steps to slowly gliding on the ground.

"Why!?" A frustrated Zhao Wei asked, he wanted to run away as soon as possible and yet the girl was playing games?

"We're part dwarf, if there's one thing we're good at it's mining, which includes sensing minerals as well as vibrations in closed s.p.a.ces." She explained. "That's how Gary found us so quickly and no offense but even with her eyes covered, I doubt you'll be able to beat her."

Nodding, Zhao Wei complied and slid with his feet as he followed the girl. But they'd decided to do so a little too late as it didn't take long before the echo of several footsteps could be heard following closely behind them.

Like the one before, their physiques were beyond ordinary, it would take seconds before they arrived to intercept them. "Run!" Zhao Wei ordered instead. There was no point in trying to hide their presence in a one way crawl s.p.a.ce anyway.

Zhao Wei sweated as they closed in. He could hear at least 3 distinct footsteps. He had trouble just surviving one of those things, if three of them came at him, there was no chance he'd walk out of that fight standing.

The distance shortened, 500 meters... 300... 100 and like that the a.s.sailants had caught up. Seven adult sized Grendolyns were running as quickly as they could. But after several minutes of running, they stopped in their tracks.

"What's going on? we should've reached them by now." One of them spoke. They could sense the vibrations even down to the speed Zhao Wei and Grendolyn moved at and they should've met them a long time ago.

Some distance back, in the dark empty area, a body lowered itself from the ceiling. The silhouette of a much smaller person dangling off of it. "Great plan!" Grendolyn exclaimed.

"Yeah, but we're not out of the woods yet, we just delayed the inevitable. They'll back track as soon as they realize we didn't outrun them and behind us is jumbo you." Zhao Wei complained.

"Hey! she's a person as well, you don't need to use names and be so rude!" Grendolyn retorted.

"I've been whacked by what I a.s.sume is the same hammer twice today, put into a room full of death traps, dragged into muddy waters by a person who I just met less than an hour ago and I'm being hunted down in a very closed s.p.a.ce." Zhao Wei listed as his eyes bulged, looking at the girl. "Did I miss anything? Nope? So yeah, I do need to call them names."

Grendolyn pouted at the response, she looked in front of her and behind her one after another. "I'm not sure what to do... The sack I wrapped around Gary's head is made of stringed residue mythril shavings, it'll take at least another 2 minutes before she'd able to tear it off, it's our best chance, but if the others are already on their way here we probably won't even reach her before they catch up."

Their problems were getting worse, and every second they hesitated dug their graves a little deeper. Just as Zhao Wei was going to decide on a plan of action, he heard a loud rumble followed by the clas.h.i.+ng of metal coming from the direction where the other's had pa.s.sed by them.
