At this moment, Mono felt his own insignificance.
He finally understood what it meant to be a combat rating of five.
Compared to Sixth Master, he was truly not worth mentioning.
Of course, despite his frustration, Mono still steeled himself.
The teacher charged again.
"Little Six, the duct."
Mono hurriedly shouted.
Sixth Master, having just dodged the Neck Person Teacher's pounce, hadn't been able to reach the ventilation duct entrance in time.
Mono didn't want to waste any more time.
As the words fell, Little Six's figure paused, abruptly changing direction.
Their figures immediately headed towards the ventilation duct opening.
But the Neck Person Teacher seemed quite clever.
It seemed to have sensed the intentions of these two little beings who had angered it.
Its neck shot out directly, its mouth gaping wide open, using that terrifying face to block the ventilation opening.
"Damn it~"
Mono cursed under his breath.
Every monster's head here is quite abnormal.
But when hunting little beings, their movements and techniques seem exceptionally agile.
The Hunter was like that, and the Neck Person Teacher before them was the same.
They really are proficient at hunting.
...
Having blocked the entrance, the Neck Person Teacher pounced again.
Sixth Master's combat instincts naturally didn't require Mono's prompting.
With another dodge, she directly jumped onto another crossbeam.
"Bang~"
The spot where they had been was smashed into a gap by the Neck Person Teacher.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Taking advantage of the lull, Mono suddenly heard a sound of rapid, labored breathing.
He turned his head to look at Little Six beside him.
Only then did he realize her whole body was trembling, her small frame rising and falling continuously.
Sweat was constantly streaming down her forehead; her short hair was already plastered to her cheeks and neck.
Moreover, her already pale face was now as white as a sheet of paper.
Her lips also seemed to be trembling.
"Drip..."
A feeling of wetness came from the hand being tightly held.
It turned out her injured right hand, wrapped in bandages, was now oozing blood, dripping continuously.
Yet she seemed completely unaware of all this.
Her eyes remained empty, vacantly fixed on the Neck Person Teacher.
"Sixth... Master?"
Mono stared dumbly at the little girl before him.
This is too... it makes one...
Mono knew they couldn't delay any longer.
He surveyed their surroundings.
The Neck Person Teacher was blocking the exit.
Its long neck allowed it to move with ease in this cramped space.
While they were being hampered.
Mono's gaze fell on its neck.
"Aang~"
At this moment, after another missed attack, the Neck Person Teacher, its head bent, charged over again.
"Little Six, left!" Mono hurriedly shouted.
Sixth Master's movements were swift; she directly jumped to the crossbeam on the left.
The Neck Person Teacher pursued again.
"Left~" Mono continued to call out.
The Neck Person Teacher followed closely.
"Grab that rope, swing down~" Mono shouted calmly.
Action followed sound.
The two of them leaped, grabbed the rope, traced an arc through the air, swung under the crossbeam, and landed on another crossbeam.
"Right~"
Mono continued to call.
The Neck Person Teacher clung tenaciously.
Just like that, the two parties, one in front, one behind, continuously weaved among the crossbeams above.
Finally, at a certain moment, Mono shouted again:
"Quick, towards the exit, charge over~"
Hearing this, Sixth Master directly flashed past.
A fierce light flashed in the Neck Person Teacher's eyes.
It naturally sensed the two little beings' intentions once again.
Having hunted for so long without catching them, the fury in its heart had long been completely ignited, so how could it possibly let them leave so easily?
It intended to repeat its old trick.
Its neck suddenly gathered strength.
Then, with a projectile launch, it pounced towards Mono and Little Six once more.
Even though Sixth Master had already erupted with abnormal speed at this moment.
However, compared to Neck Person Teacher's neck, there was still some gap.
A dwarf has a natural disadvantage, let alone facing a teacher who had already become a distorted monster?
The distance between the two sides was abruptly shortened.
Sharp, foul-smelling teeth drew near once again.
"Keep running, Little Six!" Mono quickly shouted, "You can do it!!!"
As soon as the words fell, the already fast speed increased by another level.
The figures of the two rapidly approached the ventilation shaft.
However, it still wasn't enough.
"Aang~"
Neck Person Teacher was already right behind.
It opened its mouth.
"Bang~"
A sonic boom was heard.
Mono clearly saw the crimson tongue inside its mouth, the dark, black hole-like throat, seemingly greedy to devour everything.
It pounced down abruptly.
"Uh————"
But the next moment, Neck Person Teacher abruptly closed its mouth.
Then, from its throat, came a choking sound.
They saw that the originally elongated neck was now directly pulled taut.
"Aang~"
Neck Person Teacher couldn't react in time to realize what was happening. She attempted to continue pouncing down, but her head could only extend to a spot a few meters away.
Abruptly turning her head back, she finally discovered that her neck was actually tangled around a crossbeam.
Seeing this scene, Mono let out a sigh of relief.
Him telling Little Six to run east and west just now wasn't to waste energy.
Neck Person Teacher's neck was entangled.
