Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 487 - Klein Was At A Disadvantage At The Critical Moment

Chapter 487 - Klein Was At A Disadvantage At The Critical Moment

Everyone was confused by James' words.
They had no idea what he meant.
So they asked, "What do you mean?"
James said, "Everyone, think about it. If you were the Stone of Destruction and had such powerful magic reserves, what would you think if you heard someone say that the teleportation scroll required a minute of input before it could be used?"
James' words exploded in everyone's ears.
Instantly, everyone's faces revealed the joy of surviving a disaster.
They were not stupid. After being reminded by James, they naturally knew where the trap was.
"Damn it, if I were the Stone of Destruction, I would definitely be suspicious. What kind of scroll requires such a long time of input of magic?"
"Right! This doesn't make sense at all. Teleportation scrolls are very convenient to begin with. In the game in my previous life, teleportation scrolls only had seven to eight seconds of casting time. It doesn't need that much time at all."
"Phew, that's true. We didn't think so much back then. Now that I think about it, we need to input for so long because we know very well that our magic reserves are very low. If we successfully cast it, we would need to pour at least a minute of magic into it before we can use it. But who is the Stone of Destruction? Its magic reserves are not on the same level as ours. But it doesn't know our situation, so it guessed that we were lying."
"Fortunately... If it really didn't believe us, we would be a pile of corpses now!"
"But why did it figure it out in the end?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"I guess it's because it can sense the magic reserves in our bodies, so it knows we're not lying," James said.
Someone nodded and said, "If that's the case, it makes sense."
"Indeed. That way, it would think that our magic reserves are so low. To cast a scroll, we would definitely need a long period of accumulation before we can use it. However, it's different. The spell that gives us a headache is simply too simple for it. That's why it changed its mind in the end!" James said again.
...
At the same time.
On the other side.
Klein naturally didn't know what these people were doing.
If he knew, he would definitely not allow them to act on their own.
That was because they were too weak.
If they acted on their own, it was very likely that it would result in an irreversible process.
Furthermore, he wasn't at the critical moment yet.
At this moment, the sky was filled with artillery shells that were hurling towards Klein.
After a short period of accumulation, his speed had reached its limit.
In Klein's line of sight, he could only see countless cannonballs with long tails. He couldn't see their shapes at all!
However, Klein knew very well that he had to see them clearly, or he wouldn't be able to dodge them.
However, the cannonballs were too fast.
In order to avoid their sharp edges, Klein had no choice but to retreat a few meters.
After retreating, Klein forced himself to calm down. He looked carefully and found a gap between the cannonballs.
Even though Klein was very calm and was used to seeing life and death, at that moment, he felt his heart clench.
There was nothing he could do. If a person didn't have fear, they wouldn't be human.
It wasn't that a true expert didn't have fear. Instead, they could forcefully suppress their fear and turn it into calmness.
However, at such a critical moment, even a powerhouse's emotions would fluctuate greatly.
It was impossible. This was human nature, and even Klein was no exception.
However, he still forcefully suppressed his fear and looked over carefully.
'There?'
'No, no, no. It's too dense. Although there's a gap, if I'm not mistaken, there are at least seven or eight cannonballs in the tail flames behind that cannonball. Once I go there, I'm afraid that the subsequent attacks will directly smash me to the ground.'
'No, there's a gap there.'
Klein's eyes lit up.
There was a vacuum period about half a meter wide at a distance of seven or eight meters.
Although he didn't know how it was formed, it did exist.
At that moment, the cannonball was whistling over.
Klein didn't dare to delay and hurriedly flew over.
After he went over, he looked up and his expression immediately changed.
"Holy shit, not good. That darn Rakshasa actually played a trick on me!"
This so-called gap was indeed a gap, but it was only a gap in the first layer.
Behind this layer, there were artillery shells that were far more concentrated than the rest!
If he were to face them head-on, Klein would probably be severely injured!
Klein had spent a lot of time on his journey.
Now, he could only retreat if he wanted to avoid it.
However, Klein took a glance down below. He was only about ten meters away.
As he descended lower and lower, it would be difficult for him to avoid the range of the cannonballs!
However, there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Unless he was willing to withstand the barrage of cannonballs that were far denser than anywhere else.
At that moment, Klein naturally chose the first option.
He retreated five meters away.
Then, he quickly returned to the weak spot he had previously discovered and continued to observe.
As Klein fell, the artillery shells in the sky had already filled the top of his head.
The artillery shells that blotted out the sky looked to be at least ten meters wide from afar.
This width made it so that Klein couldn't see anything other than the artillery shells.
Especially in this situation, the cannonballs were ignited in the air through the smoothbore, resulting in countless flames. The sky was dyed red by the countless flames.
This made it even more difficult for Klein to find a loophole.
But Klein still didn't give up.
His gaze was extremely calm, like an extremely dense scanning machine, carefully and frequently scanning the dense cluster of cannonballs.
And at that moment, Klein saw a place.
It was at the center of the cannonballs.
If Klein wasn't mistaken, there was a one-meter-wide safety zone.
Within the one-meter-wide safety zone, Klein gave it a cursory glance. There didn't seem to be any cannonballs.
But he couldn't see them clearly.
This was because as the speed of the cannonballs increased, the time given to Klein and the opportunity to see the full picture of the cannonballs also decreased.
Therefore, the height difference between the two wasn't large, so many cannonballs blocked Klein's line of sight, making it impossible for him to see clearly.
Therefore, he naturally couldn't figure out the true situation there.
There was only one way to figure it out, and that was to leave this place and head deeper.
The distance to the depths wasn't far, about two to three meters.
If this distance was under normal circumstances, Klein could easily fly over with a casual movement. It wasn't difficult at all.
But at this moment, this distance was like a chasm to him!
