under bondage

=======================

"Not as good as", these three words are very subtle.

Chu Xun looked at Natis meaningfully, seeing that the other party was still so unmoved, he could only continue to control the mech to move forward in a boring manner.

Chu Xun thought: I don't know when Natis will drop his superficial calmness and restraint. His "crazy" appearance should be extraordinarily dazzling, um, I really want to see him...

Chu Xun thought happily for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he really complained about the "darkness" in his heart, then shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

The light mecha stopped in a wide area of ​​a high cliff.

Chu Xun looked up at the cross-section of the cliff, called up the structural analysis diagram, and said to His Royal Highness Natis: "There are a lot of creatures living in the cave on the inside of the cliff, so this should be here?" There is no life in the place where black rocks are distributed. This is the only "pure land" surrounded by black rocks. There are no blackened rocks within a radius of five kilometers around the cliff body, forming a relative magnetic balance, so that creatures can reproduce.

"We haven't encountered Lis and Wei Xingzhou's mechas all this way. It should be that they can't drive normally when they first entered the Black Rock area. Then—why didn't they go back? Why did they come in here?" Chu Xun asked Natis while rubbing his chin. Of course, he didn't expect to hear something from the other party's mouth, but some words felt uncomfortable in his heart, so it would be much better to ask them.

Sure enough, just as Chu Xun thought, His Highness Natis said, "Wait until we find them."

"That's right." Chu Xun smiled slightly, and jumped off the mecha first.

The two of them walked to the edge of the cliff one after the other. There were countless caves distributed on the cut surface of the cliff. If Chu Xun was removed here, they really couldn't think of where two big living people could hide.

"Pamela Labyrinth?" Chu Xun said, looking at Natis.

Natis nodded slightly.

Chu Xun laughed, "Your Highness, my trip to the military academy was really worthwhile. I saw everything."

The Pamela Labyrinth is actually a natural landscape, a primitive cave that has undergone crustal movement and natural weathering on the cliff, and Pamela is special because of the number of primitive caves that appear on the same cliff. Numerous and interconnected, no matter which hole you enter from, you can come out from the other, but these are all natural caves formed without human intervention. Of course, it may not be surprising in this regard, Pamela The reason why it is famous is more important because it is associated with Pamela, a kind of ore called crystal obsidian. As long as Pamela appears, crystal obsidian will appear. Crystal obsidian is a rare energy stone, and the energy release is relatively fast. Strong, but mining is time-consuming and laborious. Since the appearance of the Π energy mined and developed by the Chu family in the outer galaxies, few people have mined obsidian as energy stones. Nowadays, obsidian is mostly used as a rare The precious outer decorations come to be collected by people. Because of its dazzling crystal surface, it is very beautiful and eye-catching, so it is very popular with high-end Omega.

Of course, rare things are always accompanied by some dangers. For example, where there are crystal obsidian, there will be many kinds of creatures gathering, and even a very small part of them live by ingesting the energy of crystal obsidian, and often such A very small number of individuals are accompanied by extraordinary body size and IQ, and even some special abilities. To sum up, they are not so easy to deal with, so relatively speaking, places with crystal obsidian are more dangerous.

Chu Xun looked up at the cave closest to them, then turned to Natis and said, "Your Highness, I will trouble you soon."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xun stared at Natis' fingers and studied them carefully.

He was very interested in this small object in the military department in Natis's ring last time in the test match of the military academy. Now that he has the opportunity to observe it up close, of course he must take a closer look.

Natis looked at him like a curious baby, walked directly behind Chu Xun, and before the other party had time to react, he directly pressed his thumb to the middle finger, then gently pressed down and turned a small half circle, and there was a stick in the ring immediately. The silver metal wire popped out and was nailed to the surface of the cliff body.

"This thing is pretty—huh?!"

Chu Xun uttered a short exclamation just halfway through his words. He only felt his waist tighten, and besides being strangled almost to death, his feet lightened even more. Wrapped around his ears, before he had time to glared at Natis, the other party had already used a few footholds to climb up to the entrance of the cave closest to them.

When the two stood still, Natis loosened the strength of his arms, while Chu Xun pulled the hem of his jacket in a little embarrassment, and said, "Your Highness, even if you don't need to get up so suddenly, I still have a way to come up." .”

"Fly up?" Natis asked.

Chu Xun got stuck a little bit, he really couldn't fly up without wings, but——

"Your Highness, you should have seen me last time... Although I can't fly, I can definitely use my ability to come up, as long as I have something to borrow."

Natis frowned and said, "Then why did you say 'Trouble you' before?"

"Huh?" Chu Xun smiled with the corners of his mouth stiff, and understood Natis's conclusion: "Excuse me" is equivalent to "carry me up", just... a special Alpha thinking mode.But, in fact, he was just thanking him just now. For the other party and himself to come here today, there may be a lot of places that need the other party's efforts in a while, just because of these.

"What I mean is actually..." Chu Xun looked at the other party who was about to listen carefully, and suddenly said that he couldn't go on. What is he doing all this?There are two children waiting for his rescue!Chu Xun sighed, holding his forehead, he couldn't figure out why he was so fussy about such a trivial matter, the more he lived, the more confused he became!

Chu Xun took a deep breath, tried his best to put on a smiling face, and said, "Okay, Your Highness, let's go in."

Natis walked in front of Chu Xun expressionlessly, and then said, "You go behind."

Chu Xun didn't have any objections. No matter how strong he is in terms of force, he should not be able to compare with an Alpha above double S level. He doesn't mind showing weakness appropriately, so... he doesn't know what he was struggling with just now.

Thinking of this, Chu Xun really laughed. Hearing his laughter, Natis subconsciously looked back, with a slight puzzlement in his expression, Chu Xun hurriedly widened his smile a little bit, and followed go up.

The interior of Pamela is the kind of cave that does not see light all the year round. Except for a little light that penetrates the entrance of the cave, there is almost no light source at all further inside. However, it is not easy for Alpha who has five senses to see clearly the structure inside the cave. It's not difficult, but it's a bit difficult for a Beta like Chu Xun.

Just when Chu Xun was thinking about whether to use his personal terminal to light up the light, he suddenly realized that Natis was holding a low-light flashlight that was not too bright.

"Thank you." Chu Xun thanked him while shaking the things in his hand, and asked, "Your Highness, why did you think of bringing such a thing?"

The light source emitted by the personal terminal is too bright to disturb the habitats in most caves, but the low-light light is different. The low-light light emits a special filtered light, which is specially prepared for Beta explorers.

Chu Xun smiled slightly and asked, "Did Your Highness prepare it for me?"

"En." Natis responded in a low voice, and continued to walk forward.

Chu Xun seemed to be pinned down. If Natis turned his head now, he could see Chu Xun blushing slightly.Although from the perspective of ordinary people, there is nothing worthy of blush in these conversations. When the two kissed, Chu Xun didn't blush much, but now I don't know why. Chu Xun did not have any symptoms. With the word "hmm" from Tees, steam began to rise from his entire cheek.

As he walked deeper into the cave, there was an invisible pressure. Chu Xun had used his personal terminal to detect the heat source in the cave many times, but after many attempts, no human-like heat source signal appeared, which somewhat disappointed him.

"Are they not here?"

Natis shook his head, thinking that Chu Xun might not be able to see his movements, so he said, "No."

Chu Xun thought for a while, and asked the question that had always existed before, "Your Highness, how do you know they are in the Black Rock District?"

"The 'star emblem' worn by each annual has a tracking function."

"Um?!"

"Only high-level teachers can be transferred." In other words, junior teachers like Chu Xun do not have this right.

"Ah, so if I happen to get a student SOS model..."

"You need to report to your superiors."

"..."

After the silence, Chu Xun muttered in a low voice: "Your Highness, you can really talk to death."

Just as Chu Xun finished speaking, Natis suddenly made a gesture, and then stopped, but Chu Xun just walked with his head bowed while muttering, one of them didn't stop, and hit the opponent's back heavily.

"hug--"

"Shh."

Chu Xun was taken aback for a moment, only to feel a stench blowing by his side, and when he turned around, he was hugged into his arms from behind, and then under the illumination of a low-light flashlight, Chu Xun saw a bird that was bigger than his head. The compound eyes that went up and down several times were staring at him. Although the huge compound eyes were constantly turning up and down, the crystals inside were dim, and they should have basically lost their ability to see things. Most species living underground or in caves do not rely on their eyes to see, so Chu Xun almost subconsciously stopped breathing and all small movements.

But especially so, the thing still didn't intend to leave, and Chu Xun saw that the two tentacles that were constantly expanding and contracting were about to rest on his body.
