Chapter 169: Escape
As they went deeper and deeper, they finally felt the temperature rising.
Mcgee’s face suddenly revealed a look of surprise. If they felt the temperature rise, they must have encountered something like magma.
Otherwise, it was impossible for the temperature to rise inexplicably in the underground caves.
Next, they would need to confirm their location in a few caves.
As for sensing the fire attribute, the Giant Diving Crocodile and the Water Wave Turtle, who belonged to the water attribute, had no experience at all.
But do not forget, the ability that Mcgee had inherited was also of the fire attribute, so he still had a lot of experience.
They chose the middle path in order to see it for a while. Then, they rushed down without hesitation. Sure enough, it did not take long.
A bright light appeared in front of them.
However, after trying to call out, they found that there was no one there, let alone Zhao Ling Er.
After asking around in the system s.p.a.ce, they found that Zhao Ling Er was still in her original position, so they must have found the wrong place.
Thus, they could only continue to try. However, there were more than ten caves around them, so they did not know how long they would have to keep trying.
Finally, after half an hour, as they got closer and closer to the cave, they heard the sound of breathing coming from inside.
There was also the sound of chattering.
From the sound, it seemed to come from Zhao Ling Er.
Although Mcgee had never heard Zhao Ling Er’s voice before, could he not even recognize a girl’s voice?
“Zhao Ling Er, is that you?”
“Brother Mcgee, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. It’s so hot here. Can I come over now?”
“Come over. It’s not a big deal.”
“That’s great. I’m finally leaving this place.”
Zhao Ling Er was obviously very happy when she heard this. She hopped over and ran over, but in the next moment, the cave suddenly lit up.
The magma inside began to flow outward.
Zhao Ling Er, who did not know what was happening, was stunned on the spot. She did not know what had happened.
However, Mcgee, who had seen this scene earlier, had a very serious expression on his face. This was because the fire element had appeared.
Moreover, he did not hesitate to run over from the outside without giving any time to react.
Under such circ.u.mstances, it was naturally impossible for Mcgee to have any choice. Similarly, he also rushed in without hesitation.
In the process of sprinting, he also let the giant diving crocodile launch the first attack.
At this moment, his strength was not in full condition, because most of his familiars were not following him.
Only the level-eight Water Wave Turtle and the level-eight Giant Diving Crocodile were here.
In addition, if the fire element was still so berserk, he would not be a match for the fire element at all.
But the prerequisite was that they had to be a real professor. Mcgee’s goal was to take Zhao Ling Er away.
This was not too difficult.
The Water Wave Turtle and the Giant Diving Crocodile used most of the water’s power and submerged the entire cave.
Although there was not much water in the cave, they had already acc.u.mulated a lot of power in their bodies when they were at the bottom of the water.
Now that they had released it, it was a great help.
In the next moment, a dirty little loli appeared beside Mcgee.
It was Zhao Ling Er who had been communicating on the trading platform.
At the same time, there was a Dwarf beside her. The Dwarf was holding an iron pickaxe in his hand.
There were also two Earth Mine Pangolins following him.
All of this was enough to prove that the little loli in front of them was Zhao Ling Er.
“Ling Er, hurry up and leave. Those fire elementals won’t be able to hold on for too long. They’re already preparing to come over.”
Mcgee was still not prepared to talk to the fire elemental professor. Because his current strength was not in its full state, he could only escape without hesitation.
Although he did not know the route map here, he still remembered the direction he came from.
So, he pulled Zhao Ling Er up and walked forward without hesitation.
The fiery red light behind him was still spreading, and the water element made a piercing sound when it came into contact with it.
Then, it was completely evaporated without leaving a trace.
Mcgee’s expression changed slightly.
And in the next moment, he felt the power in his hand become stronger.
Because Zhao Ling Er’s strength was consumed too much, she could not run for a long time.
If she could not run, then he definitely could not pull her.
Helpless, Mcgee could only crouch down and carry Zhao Ling Er.
Although those people were wearing armor, even if the stone tablets were painful, it was still better than not being able to run.
At this moment, their situation could be said to be very bad.
The current Mcgee had a slight headache. He hated himself for not awakening a speed-type skill. Otherwise, he would have run away long ago. As for the Giant Diving Crocodile and the Water Wave Turtle.
There was no need to worry at all. The two of them ran even faster than Mcgee.
Fortunately, the two of them were still more worried about their master, so they kept running and stopping to launch attacks to slow down the speed of the fire elementals.
In the following period of time, they continued to engage in a tug-of-war.
Mcgee did not know what had angered the fire elementals this time, but it was definitely not because of the fire elementals’ bad temper. They were still as hot-tempered as ever.
It still took them more than half an hour to finally come out of the cave. When they were near the water’s edge, they were already very high up.
The fire elementals had already stopped chasing them a few minutes ago.
Because they were too close to the water’s surface, when they got close to the water’s surface, a portion of the water’s power or elemental energy would be greatly weakened.
Moreover, they had already understood that it was absolutely impossible for them to catch up with Mcgee and the others, so they directly gave up.
“Ling Er, we need to hold our breath to the surface of the water. How long can you hold your breath? At least five minutes, or else something might happen.”
Mcgee had already taken off his armor.
With a worried look on his face, he looked at Zhao Ling Er beside him.
Of course, he did not have much of a problem himself, but Zhao Ling Er might not.
However, the next moment, something unexpected happened. Ling Er smiled and said.
“Don’t worry, Mcgee. I wanted to be a swimmer, but because I transmigrated here, I didn’t have a chance to achieve it.”
