Chapter 226 The Snake, The Mice, and the Rats (2/2)

”Oh, I know this s towards where Daniel, Der, and Jerigh were hiding ”I re about the little snake that crawled into the rat's den to eat, but that on its way in, found a couple of little mice first Don't eat them! I shouted as I was told the story But the snake alould”

The three looked at each other in confusion The young ue was directed at them, but it didn't look like he could pinpoint their position exactly

”I was so sad for the little et it I never understood how fun it is to be the snake Now, co the turn towards the corridor where Daniel, Der and Jerigh were previously standing in But there, he found no one ”I rong There is another rat here”

A few corridors away, Daniel and the rest of his group were standing in wait, while looking back to see if the young uy” Asked Daniel with confusion ”What do you mean that monsters don't attack hiroup around hi hi about the young uy did not have a good bone in his body

”fuck Jerigh, did you keep track of where ent?” Daniel then added before turning to look at Jerigh's face, only to see the latter shake his head left and right

They were lost

”I know the way” Said Der before suddenly taking a s it in front of the two He then pointed to the part where he met the two, and said ”This is where I found you And this is where the propulsors are”

The er landed on the ht The direction where all of those extremely powerful o to

”Oh come on If you have to run, at least run a bit further than this” Said a voice that came from one of the corridors that formed the intersection of which the corridor the three were in was part of

Daniel irabbed the map, observed it carefully, and thanks to 'Time is Precious', he committed it to memory in a matter of seconds He then crumpled thethe sound fro the sound sphere fro every monster within the shi+p

After that, Daniel turned towards another corridor, and started to run as quietly as he could

-----

Two days later

Despite knowing the path towards the propulsor roo with the relentless chase of the young h's and Der'swithin a cabin which they had already guessed was reserved for one of the crew members that worked in the area

The reason why they had hidden, was because there were truly too many monsters around The corridors were so narrow, and theh them was impossible And whenever they found a corridor blocked by one of theether They could have waited for theht behind theht

”There are only four paths to the propulsor room And all of them had one or more monsters in them If they don't leave, ill never reach it” Said Der with clear anxiousness They had spent the last couple of days running left and right in hope to find a way out, but no matter how much they tried, they hadn't succeeded

Daniel, clearly the most frustrated of the trio, said ”If only we had control over that formation I swear that if I put my hands on the captain I'll snap his neck myself”

”The captain is dead Their shalop exploded the mo Der's words, Daniel responded with oes our key” He was happy to hear about the man's death, but not about the fact that what they needed noas lost

”What key?” Asked Der with sudden curiosity

Without looking back at hih the s in the corridor, he said ”A pendant with a crystal on it A golden icosahedron” He then waited for Der to ask another question, but then, he heard three words than he would have never expected to hear

”Like this one?”
