270 Trick and Anti-trick (2/2)

The other men in black realized what was going on and rushed at Roland with their sprinting skill.

With this skill, they could burn their adrenaline and activate shocking speed. For a moment, they were even faster than the Hands of Magic.

However, a muddy wall suddenly appeared before them when they were about to catch up to the Hands of Magic.

It was Mud to Stone.

Roland was still short of rapid ballistic spells. It was impossible for him to hit those guys who were fast enough to avoid the Ice Ring with Inferior Fireball.

More importantly, there were too many of them. Roland could've dealt with them easily if there was only one or two of them.

Therefore, the control skills that could be cast quickly were the main approaches he could adopt.

The muddy wall blocked the whole street and grew higher and higher.

But the men in black robes did not decelerate. They jumped and stepped onto the wall, before they climbed almost ten meters on all fours like geckos at an amazing speed.

Morahu was the first to cross over the wall. When he jumped off, he saw that Roland was sinking quickly with the princess in his arms.

Around Roland, mud was rolling and splitting apart. After Roland completely submerged into the ground, the rolling mud closed and blocked the cave.

Morahu threw out daggers anxiously.

But it was too late. The soil had been sealed again, and the daggers were simply deflected when they hit the ground.

The road had turned into hard gray rocks again.

A few men in black surrounded the entrance of the cave and tried to stab the rock with their daggers, but they failed to cut through, their daggers almost bent.

Another man in black robes looked around and found a boulder. He picked it up and threw it at the cave.

There was a crash from the ground and even echoes from the underground.

After a while, when the guy had grown exhausted, the rock that blocked the cave was as hard as before.

Morahu's eyes were bloodshot. The princess had been about to be lured to his turf, but someone had taken her when she was only several hundred meters away.

But he soon calmed down. Making a mouth-zipping gesture at his subordinates, he said in a low voice, ”I don't believe that they can stay there forever. How long can the air down there support them? Listen to the noises. If they move, just follow them.”

The men in black nodded. Two of them immediately crouched and stuck their ears to the ground.

About five meters into the ground, a hollow about two and a half meters tall had been created.

Roland put the princess down and cast a luminous ball.

The dark underground world became bright, and the princess took a soft breath of relief.

She was about to say something, but Roland put his finger before his lips, hinting for her to remain silent.

Then, he concentrated enormous magic power and created a broad channel ahead of him with Mud to Stone and Stone to Mud.

Also, he intentionally made it noisy. As a result, the princess saw a round channel taking shape in front of her with rumbling sounds.

She thought that it was a channel of escape that Roland had prepared, but surprising her expectations, Roland sat down and made the same gesture at her.

The princess blinked her beautiful eyes and understood Roland's intention.

On the ground, the two men in black who had been eavesdropping jumped to their feet and pointed at the direction of the underground channel.

Morahu pointed at five people and asked them to track the sound. He also dropped a hint to make them walk more heavily.

The five people understood his intention. They tracked the rumbling sounds from the underground with intentionally heavy footsteps.

Morahu and the other two men in black robes, on the other hand, simply stood by and waited in silence.
