Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 42
"I've recovered..."

"Why are you distracted again?"

A white palm waved in front of his eyes.

Bai Yu pressed his eyebrows, and he shook his head: "Using too much power is just an extra burden on the spirit... So, what did you just talk about?"

"We are preparing to evacuate the wounded..."

Through Su Ruoli's statement, Bai Yu realized that he directly landed on the second anchor point when he entered the dungeon this time.

This anchor point is the moment when two second-order transcendents are killed after drinking the shadow spider venom.

... also good.

At this point, there is nothing to adjust, and the time spent is still within an acceptable range.

He pondered slightly.

Next, while racing against time to save people, continue to search for the shortest route available, and at the same time search the entire lair to find the lost shadow.

"The time is only four and a half hours... No, there are only four hours left now."

Bai Yu said to Su Ruoli: "I killed the logistics in advance, so we will definitely show up in the round of regular reports every four hours. At most half an hour, the executors of the organization will arrive."

"The executor..."

"Third-order extraordinary, we don't have even the slightest chance of winning at this stage."

"Then it's time to race against time, right?"

"Yes, time waits for no one." Bai Yu said, "Are you ready?"

"...Mmm!" Su Ruoli clenched her fists, "The goal is for everyone to survive!"

Bai Yu grinned slightly, this time he didn't think there was any trouble.

Anyway, it has been repeated so many times, and it is not unacceptable to increase the pursuit a little bit and turn it into a harmless ending where all the members survive.

He turned and walked deeper into the lair.

Four hours later...

Bai Yu came out of the nest, carrying a student wrapped in rice dumplings on his shoulders. After putting the student down, he saw a conspicuous red flower petal.

"How many people are there?"

"Including Liu Neng in your hand, the total..." Su Ruoli replied, "29."

Bai Yu muttered to himself, "There are still eight missing."

Turning around, silently aimed the muzzle at the temple, and pulled the trigger.

……

"Come back to your senses, why are you distracted again?"

Hearing this sound, Bai Yu shook his head: "It's okay."

Again, do it all over again.

He let out a breath, repeated the necessary explanation with Su Ruoli, then turned and walked towards the Shadow Spider Cave.

This is the third time I have gone deep, and the distance measured by the footsteps has become familiar and clear, gradually forming a feasible map in my mind.

While walking through a fork in the road, he turned his head and looked down.

"...There is still a shortcut here."

"Well, there is indeed a lot of room for optimization."

Four hours passed.

Bai Yu walked out of the nest, this time bringing out two people.

"In this way, there are 31 people in total."

Su Ruoli took over the two students that Bai Yu had put down, and clenched his fists to cheer.

The more students she rescued, the more obvious her smile became. Although blood and stains were inevitable, the gleaming happiness couldn't be concealed.

"Fortunately, you found that route!"

"...There is a better route."

Bai Yu said: "It's a pity that I just found out, this time I won't be able to catch up."

The rose petals fell, and the time came again.

He walked into the lair, followed by a gunshot.

……

"Now there are 33 people in total!"

"This route is closer! And the general distance can be handed over to other students to carry!"

"It saves us a lot of time!"

Su Ruoli jumped up happily, clapped hands with Bai Yu, and rushed forward to hug Ruan Qingxue who had just sent her back.

Immersed in the joy of saving lives, she didn't realize how much time had passed.

"Four more..."

Bai Yu raised her foot and stepped on a falling rose petal.

……

The collapse area, the Shadow World Plaza, was quiet.

Bai Yu didn't hear the footsteps and running before.

He smelled a strong smell of blood.

Walking near the camp, I saw Rose Girl sitting on the collapsed stone, her legs crossed, and she was playing with a soft sword emitting a blue light in her hand.

"Looks like I'm late."

"Earlier and later have no effect on the results, it's just a difference in letting you breathe a few more breaths."

Rose Girl said flatly: "Those little lambs are already obedient, and it's your turn next..."

While she was talking, she suddenly saw a rather unpleasant scene: "You...what are you laughing at?"

Bai Yu smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel very fulfilled."

He put down the students on his shoulders: "This is No.30 five."

Moved the sore arm: "Finally, there are only two people left."

Rose Girl couldn't understand at all: "A person who is about to die, what are you talking about? You should feel unwilling, because your wrong judgment made you lose your life."

Bai Yu coughed lightly: "Then, since I'm a dying person, can you tell me what your organization is?"

Rose Girl said indifferently: "When you go to King Yama, you can ask him slowly."

"So that's how it is..." Bai Yu mocked happily, "You are also a 'running dog' controlled by others in a certain sense."

Rose Girl's eyes were fixed, and Bai Yu's head fell to the ground on the spot.

Boom-!
……

……

"How did you find this route!"

"It's so perfect. The size of the shadow spider on this route can't get in at all. With this road, you can almost avoid the shadow spider route for transportation!"

"I just confirmed it."

"36 people...all of them have been rescued, not one is missing!"

Su Ruoli's hands were trembling, she looked at the last person on Bai Yu's shoulder, and counted over and over again, after confirming that she was correct, she rushed up, tightly held the young man's hand, shook it vigorously, her eyes were slightly red.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"Thank you for saving everyone, for saving everyone."

Most of the students couldn't move yet, but those who could move laughed.

Some people's palms were already covered with bloodstains during the carrying process, and some students grinned when they were injured and touched the wound.

The girls hugged each other, no one was crying, only someone was silently wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes.

A rare sense of accomplishment rose in Bai Yu's heart.

It was really not easy to bring all 36 people out of the nest.

Bai Yu didn't indulge in this sense of accomplishment for too long, because he knew clearly that escaping from the shadow spider's lair was the first step.

"One more..."

He rubbed between his brows: "I didn't find the shadow of Bai Yu."

If you can't find the shadow, you won't know how to get out of here.

There is no way to leave, which means that the only way to bring out the 36 people is to wait for death while holding hands and singing songs.

Bai Yu thought that the shadow should be somewhere in the nest, but it was difficult to find without the location.

At present, all the students have no relevant clues at hand. How can we find the year of the monkey?

And will the shadow stay where it is, and what is its form?
No clue, if it shrinks down to the size of a coin, if the shadow blends directly into the background?
Bai Yu checked the relevant information.

Historically, there have been more than 1000 cases of recovery from anesthesia, although not many.

Patients with agnosia will fall into a coma and cannot move, and the shadows are retrieved by other people, but there has never been a case where the main body looks for the shadow.

But according to the reporter's investigation, there is a certain induction between the shadow and the main body, and this induction will form a mutual guiding effect, and a single hair can be used as a shadow needle.

There are plenty of white-haired elms, but it's a pity that it doesn't move.

Time...how much longer?
He was thinking about confirming the time.

The petals have fallen.

At this time, less than 3 minutes had passed since he walked out of the nest.

Death is always just in time.

But death is always one step behind him.

……

Sitting up from the bed, Bai Yu walked to the kitchen, turned on the tap, and took a sip of filtered water.

The time is now five in the morning.

At present, there are still [-] destiny points left.

Thirty times of trial and error, still can't find the perfect way to clear the level.

"You can't make ends meet." He laughed at himself.

"But there are still sixty times, it should be enough..."

"Before that, I need to sleep first."

……

After a short rest of a few hours, the sky has already dawned.

The lack of fatigue and energy is filled by fatigue potions.

Proceed to reset the copy.

And yet... the situation is completely bogged down in meaningless repetition.

Fate points gradually changed from sixty to fifty, forty, thirty...

By the time the sky turned from dawn to dusk, Bai Yu had already repeated it 39 times.

No shadow was found.

Same result every time.

He tried various methods to overcome the obstacles, and even gave up looking for the shadow halfway, and started looking for the exit directly, but naturally he couldn't find it.

This is a cage, a tight pocket, which can be entered but cannot be exited.

When the fire clouds in the evening cast the room into a bright red, Bai Yu was lying on the living room floor, almost completely exhausted.

The huge number of failures piled up has completely swept away his original self-confidence and calmness.

The more you repeat, the more you realize that even if you have done your best at this stage, there are still obstacles that cannot be overcome.

When you face a fire but cannot find a drop of water or a grain of sand within a hundred miles, the result is doomed from the very beginning.

Reality forces people to admit its cruelty.

"This dungeon, with my current ability..."

"Fundamentally, there is no solution."
