Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2620: Chapter 1239: Deadly Game · Endurance (XV) - The Road to Survival

Although they still managed to ’chat and laugh’, from an objective standpoint, their escape process was actually quite problematic.

Indeed, Double Leaf used Mei Fu’s Fertility Magic to create a hole beneath the twisted plant, and just as it was becoming unsustainable, vines transported both of them to the arena’s exit. However, the effectiveness of this action was quite limited, serving only to broaden the distance slightly.

Not to mention the ’Supervisors’ who formed the main component of the pursuers. Those Gray Lizard Hunting warriors riding Toxic-Horned Lizards moved rather swiftly; although they didn’t match the standard mounts like Black Dragon Colt of the Diesel Iron Riders, they were much faster than something like Wang Badan.

If there is no surprise, catching up with Motan and Double Leaf was only a matter of time, and that time would definitely not be long.

And while Double Leaf constantly huddled in Motan’s arms, chatting wildly with him, she was actually working hard to create ’surprises’ for the pursuers.

In theory, this wasn’t a very difficult task, after all, whether as an Earth Mage, Fertility Priest, Druid, or Summoner, they were all adept at using various means to create obstacles for others. Coupled with Double Leaf’s personality also liking to create obstacles for others, describing such tasks as ’handy’ would be an understatement.

However, according to their previous plan, Double Leaf was to play a very important role in the upcoming plans, under which she must conserve power until successfully rejoining her comrades. From a player’s perspective, it means ’Physical Strength Value, Faith Value, Magic Points’ must be saved as much as possible, especially as the core of Divine Arts driven by Faith Value and Magic Points must retain at least eighty percent to be sufficient.

In other words, no matter how suitable she may be to create chaos for the pursuing soldiers, Double Leaf could only utilize about 20% of her basic values, causing significant constraint.

To be honest, if it weren’t for this girl being a ’born spellcaster’, capable of calculating every ounce of strength through methods akin to coding, sustaining with merely 20% of Magic Points and Faith Value would have been impossible.

Yet still, Double Leaf, now left with 83% Magic Points, 85% Faith Value, and 72% Physical Strength Value, was nearing her limits. It’s worth noting that thinking is also a form of physical labor, so even though she was held in the arms of Motan throughout, her consumption in terms of physical ability was not minimal.

As for Motan, he showed no significant expenditure since Haru Kuttata’s physical fitness was quite good, and Mei Fu, being a slender Tree Elf, required less exertion over this running distance compared to Double Leaf, who was under high mental exertion.

"Hmm..."

Double Leaf scattered another handful of dark purple seeds, watching them grow into healthy Cannibal Flowers within seconds, then wiped the sweat from her forehead with her little hand and looked up displeased to ask Motan, "Can’t you run any faster? I’m about to be exhausted!"

Motan laughed bitterly and said helplessly, "I can speed up by about twenty percent, but if I sprint full throttle, I fear I won’t be able to ensure your comfort, Double Leaf."

The girl arched her brow in anger, "Do I look like a pampered little milk doll?"

"No, no."

Motan quickly shook his head like a rattle drum, then cautiously asked, "Should I speed up a little?"

"No."

Double Leaf, displaying a calm pretty face, gestured with her hand, gritting her teeth, "I’m not afraid of bumpiness, but in that case, I might not be able to concentrate on thinking, leading to oversight."

Motan, who had already considered this issue, nodded slightly, carefully speeding his steps without affecting Double Leaf’s comfort, and sighed lightly, "So now we..."

"Are you afraid of pain?"

Double Leaf didn’t wait for Motan to finish; she suddenly asked this question.

"Pain?"

Motan paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Although I can’t guarantee, I am quite confident in enduring pain. Uh... if it’s not too extreme..."

"Listen, Frank, we now have three paths to choose."

Double Leaf took a deep breath and said solemnly, "First, keep charging at this pace, risking getting cut to pieces by those people behind us while hoping someone will come to rescue us; second, I stop conserving, fully obstruct those bastards, ensuring our smooth arrival at the destination, but the plan we agreed upon earlier will likely fall apart; third..."

"It’s a method that might cause me more pain, but it could get us out of this dilemma, right?"

Motan didn’t wait for Double Leaf to finish before interrupting with a smile, then nodded vigorously, "Let’s go with the last option."

Double Leaf raised her brow, reminding, "I’ve informed you in advance, it’ll likely hurt a lot."

"But if that is the option you think best, Double Leaf, I choose to trust you."

Motan grinned down at Double Leaf, winked playfully, "And I also believe you’ll strive to make it less painful for me."

Double Leaf twitched the corner of her mouth, "Hehe..."

"Here we go."

Motan took a deep breath on the spot, even without asking about the third proposal’s details, tightened his hold on the girl in his arms slightly, and said solemnly, "I am ready."
