Surrounded by underground bounty hunters, a drop of cold sweat slid down Iyas's forehead.
Even if you are surrounded in a cage, you can still escape through the gaps between the cages.
Now the underground bounty hunters formed a semicircle, blocking the exit with three layers inside and three layers outside. Iyas had no way to retreat.
Her own attacks were barely effective, and concentrating her firepower on taking down a bounty hunter was like a drop in the bucket. Iyas didn't know what to do for a moment.
Everything that happened in the alley appeared before Ias's eyes.
If it was a familiar forest, she would be able to use the trees as cover and fight guerrilla warfare to gain an advantage.
However, she had no chance of winning fighting in a closed space.
If there is no way to change the current situation, history will repeat itself and she will be cornered again, helpless.
“If that guy were here, what would he do
Find a solution quickly.
Like that guy, find a solution quickly.
Think about it, what would that guy do if he encountered this situation? "
Iyas had seen Yang Yu make decisions in crisis many times, and she knew a little bit about how Yang Yu made decisions. When she recalled it, she remembered a lot of tricks.
“Watch carefully and use everything you can use, that’s how he came here.
As long as we are like him, we can definitely find a ray of hope in this dire situation."
Iyas looked around the room. There were messy cages placed in the empty room. The underground bounty hunters who surrounded her looked ferocious. They wanted to capture Iyas quickly and then go after Yang Yu and Bai Jin who had never come here.
Suddenly, Iyas's gaze stopped at a corner of the room, which was a vent covered by a baffle.
A light bulb went off in Pika's mind, and the things on the map appeared in front of Iyas.
Many slaves are imprisoned here. In order to prevent the second underground floor from appearing too dull, this underground facility has an extensive ventilation and drainage system.
In some places, they are even built directly on top of the sewers, making it extremely convenient to handle wastewater and garbage.
The entire auction house can be kept clean without any effort.
In addition, the convection formed by the vents can keep the air fresh and prevent the growth of bacteria.
It would be troublesome if a slave got sick, and one bad move would lower his quality.
No one likes a sickly slave. Having such a slave work will only make everything a mess.
Therefore, the ventilation holes in most slave storage rooms are made relatively large, and air will be blown inside when necessary to maintain the air quality.
This design also gave Iyas an opportunity.
According to Iyas's observation, she could even pass through the vent while half-crouching.
If there is anything wrong with it, it is that the vent is too high, at least five meters, almost touching the ceiling.
It seems that when building this place, the designers also considered the possibility that slaves might escape through the vents.
Ordinary slaves would just stay away when they see the vent is so high.
But for Iyas, it is high, but it can indeed be the last straw.
It is better to be higher, so that you can ensure that others will not catch up so quickly.
The remaining question is how to get through the crowd surrounding you.
There was only one solution Iyas could think of.
"Why did you not reply for so long? What are you planning? I'm warning you one last time. If you don't want to suffer, put down your weapon, stop struggling, and surrender."
The shield-axe man swung his shield-axe impatiently to intimidate Ias, and Ias tried his best to look scared, put the bow on his shoulders and raised his hands.
Seeing that Iyas surrendered obediently, the shield-axe man showed a smug look on his face. He randomly asked one of his men to approach Iyas and tie her up in exchange for the bounty.
But no one expected that Iyas took advantage of the shield-axe man's slackness at this moment, took the bow from his shoulder, pulled the string directly, and a shining arrow of light formed between the bowstring.
Before the holy light could completely condense into an arrow, Ias released the string, and the unfinished arrow of light drew a silver comet tail in the air and pierced the shield axe man's eyes.
The shield axe man quickly closed his eyes and subconsciously raised his shield axe to block. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ias rushed towards the shield axe man.
One by one, the underground bounty hunters picked up their weapons and circled behind Iyas, trying to further form a 360-degree encirclement without blind spots, so that Iyas would be attacked from both sides and unable to move.
Unexpectedly, Iyas had no intention of confronting the shield-axe man head-on. A dazzling light emanated from her body. With her body as the center, the power of holy light turned into ripples, pushing away everyone who approached her.
The shield-axe man was the closest, and he had his eyes closed. He didn't know what Ias had done, and for a moment he couldn't keep his body steady. He and several underground bounty hunters beside him were knocked back, and their bodies slammed against the black iron cage.
Iyas took advantage of the situation and pulled down the black curtain covering the cage, hiding it from the bounty hunters' view, and jumped onto the cage.
Then, Ias took out an arrow, aimed it at the baffle on the vent, and used the [Strong Wind Arrow].
It was as if a tornado was wrapped around the arrow, which slammed the baffle into the vent.
The shield-axe man immediately understood Ias's intention.
"How dare you, woman, lie to us? I'm going to make you pay for it!"
As he spoke, the shield axe man put down his shield axe and used [Red Flame Axe]. A flame pattern appeared on his shield axe, and flames burst out from the pattern, sweeping across his entire axe.
The shield axe man swung his shield axe at Ias.
Without any hesitation, Iyas pulled out several arrows and shot them at the wall, creating a dent and a foothold.
Because Yang Yu was rich now, he no longer cared so much about consumables like bows and arrows, so he chose the best arrows that had a certain attack power bonus.
Breaking down a portion of the wall was much easier than Iyas had imagined.
Everything was ready. Iyas avoided the flames from the shield axe, used the grooves on the wall, jumped left and right, and got into the ventilation duct.
The ability to complete this series of actions so smoothly was due to Iyas' experience of living in the jungle, and the experience of the brief fight with Gordon last time also played a crucial role.
After entering the ventilation duct, Iyas immediately took out the map hidden in the gauntlet and confirmed the direction while crawling forward.
Seeing that his attack missed, the shield-axe man was shocked and immediately gave orders.
“Leave some people here, and the rest go to other rooms and wait.
If you find her, try to keep her first, then call on others to help keep her.
I contacted the administrator here. He probably has been watching the situation here and knows the condition of the ventilation duct.
As long as we find him, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
