Chapter 181: Interception
The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts ushered in a moonless night, and there was a strange commotion in the dark streets. A large group of unidentified masked men is frantically searching a neighborhood in the Forest of Beasts.
Most of the nearby residents locked their doors and stole through the cracks in the doors in horror to see what was going on in the streets. The inhabitants of all races were secretly begging the magistrates from the royal capital to come as soon as possible and drive away these terrible bandits. However, they knew deep down that it was a hopeless thing, the Ten Thousand Beast Forest was the only extralegal place near the royal capital, and by the time those elven armies arrived, it must have been almost dawn.
In the midst of the commotion, a group of figures wrapped in gray cloaks were quietly moving along the alleys of the back streets. Givens is at the end of the line. He hugged the frail Mira and followed behind the Silver Moon guards. Adelia and Shui Luo were at the forefront of the group, desperately rushing towards the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest under the protection of the other gray-clothed men.
The noise of the enemy in the night was heard not far away. Although Jiwen and his party temporarily avoided all the interceptions, the movement of a chasing army behind them was still approaching. In the other party's team, there seems to be a person who can track the whereabouts of Jiwen and his party.
I hope that I can rush out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest in time before the enemy catches up.
Thinking of this, Givens looked back at the darkness behind him. No one knows. In the darkness of the night, someone was trying to catch up.
Ji Wen's luck did not seem to be bad this time, and the group approached the edge of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest without danger, and just when everyone thought they could get out safely, a gust of wind and sand suddenly surged in the alley without warning. That heavy feeling of suffocation made everyone stop, close their eyes, and stop breathing.
Yes, Sandman!
The memories that the silver dragon left on Jiwen contain records of the Sand People, the tall races of the desert who are adept at manipulating the wind and sand. The only ones who can create a sandstorm out of thin air in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts are these powerful sandfolk warriors.
Soon, the Silver Moon guards in front of the team began to fight back, and there was a strong spell fluctuation directly in front of Jiwen, and a powerful stream of water surged in front of the team, washing the sand and dust from the air to the street, and then countless ice blades rushed with the water flow into the darkness in front of the team, and finally the surrounding darkness continued to sound the sound of blades and magic.
It seems that the team has been ambushed, and since Adelia and Shuilo have already engaged the enemy at the front of the team, the end of the team will definitely not be an exception.
Given's support for Mira with one hand, and then tried to draw the long sword "Fate" with his right hand, and at this time, Mira suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Let me down, I can follow." ”
"But they all say you're weak right now. Listening to Mira's weak voice, Givens shook his head and refused.
"If it's just self-preservation, I don't have much of a problem. ”
When Mira finished speaking, her eyes widened and she focused on a certain part of her body. In an instant, her eyes began to turn red and her skin began to slowly turn blue. Givens could already perceive that her soft skin was now beginning to harden as steel.
Looking at Mira's resolute look, Gilvin didn't continue to insist, in this tense battle, Mira's choice actually lightened everyone's burden.
So he just admonished
"Don't hold on, follow me, don't get separated. ”
After watching Mira nod, Gilvan finally let go of his hand, hid Mira behind him, and then vigilantly guarded the end of the group with his sword.
To Jiwen's surprise, this time it seemed to be more like a temporary encounter, almost all the battles took place at the front of the team, and the enemy's combat power was not too strong, and no one could break through the interception and rush to Jiwen.
So Givens just escorted Mira, stepping past the frozen or impaled corpses of the sandfolk in the alley, and following the gray-clad Silver Moon guards.
The enemy's resistance gradually weakened, but just when Jivin thought he could get out of the accident, a dazzling light suddenly flashed behind him.
Jiwen turned his head suddenly, and in the darkness in the distance, a pillar of fire rose into the sky, reaching the sky, and the strong light penetrated the barrier between the treehouse and the building, and shot straight into the alley, and the dark street was as bright as day.
Jiwen looked at the familiar appearance of the surging flames, and quickly understood who was chasing after him. He was all too familiar with the characteristics of those flames, and since he came into this world, he had fought to the death with those who could manipulate them.
Jiwen pulled Mira up and yelled desperately forward, "The demon is coming, hurry up!"
Jiwen warned, causing all the Silver Moon guards to quicken their pace, but it was too late. From the surge of light and shadow behind them, everyone understood that those pursuers had caught up.
The Silver Moon guards in the team suddenly stopped, except for the two who continued to follow Adelia and Shui Luo, the remaining five turned around and began to face the direction of the flames.
Jiwen rubbed shoulders with the men wrapped in gray cloaks, he couldn't see their faces, but he could see the movements of the Silvermoon guards without hesitation, they were bravely doing their duty, sacrificing their lives for the children of the Silvermoon, just like Elder Curzon did back then.
"Are they crazy?"
Looking at the unusual movements of the Silvermoon guards, Mira couldn't help but cry out in surprise. Givens didn't answer her, just grabbed her arm and picked up her pace abruptly, chasing after Adella's back.
Along the way, Given's didn't explain, didn't speak, just kept moving his legs and dragging Mira forward, because he was not qualified to waste the precious time that these Silver Moon guards had exchanged their lives for!
The pillar of fire behind Jiwen was still chasing the direction of Jiwen's advance, and a fierce battle broke out in the place he had just passed. Most of the enemies seemed to be entangled by the Silvermoon guards, and there were no enemies behind them to catch up for the time being.
But Jiwen could feel that in the shadows that the light of the pillar of fire could not reach, there was a powerful aura quietly approaching. Given, who was running, suddenly let go of Mira's hand and shoved her forward.
"Hurry up and catch up! ”
Mira looked at Given, stunned, and didn't realize what was happening for a moment. Gawain quickly patted her on the back with the blade of his sword, and shouted with all his might, "Hurry up! I promised Hull that I wouldn't let you die here!"
Mira suddenly came to her senses, she looked at Given, turned her head sharply, and chased after Adelia where she had disappeared. After watching Mira leave, Givens quickly turned around and guarded the alley with his sword.
The night was peaceful, the faint sound of the wind crept past Given's ears, and the light of the pillar of fire loomed in the distance, contrasting the calm in the alley.
But at that moment, Jiwen suddenly activated the crystal disk and shot the ice arrow into a corner of the high wall on both sides of the alley. The chill condensed in the air, shattering, staining a large section of the wall white, and then a strong figure wrapped in black armor rolled to the ground with frost. Behind him, an emaciated elven figure, emerging from the night, jumped off the wall.
Givens struggled to discern the appearance of his enemies in the darkness, trying to find their traits and weaknesses in the memories of the silver dragons. And by taking advantage of this gap, the warrior wrapped in armor quickly got up, drew a halberd, and blocked in front of Jiwen. His face and body, exposed beyond his armor, were covered in long hair, like a vicious ape.
And the mysterious elf walked up to the evil ape and stopped. It was a middle-aged summoner wearing a silver-veined turban, his shriveled face and a tall robe collar embroidered with seven golden lines.
All of this silently explained that standing in front of Jiwen was a seventh-order golden-veined summoner and his powerful summoned beast. This is a formidable foe that Givens has never challenged alone.
But just when Jiwen grasped his "fate" tightly and was about to fight to the death, a fireball pierced the dark night, from the direction of the burning pillar of fire, and smashed into the direction where Jiwen was.
It wasn't until the fireball was extremely close that it became clear to Givens that it wasn't a fireball at all, but an ugly creature huddled in flames. As the fireball approached the ground, it suddenly slowed down, and a pair of wings suddenly stretched out from the fireball, and the creature stretched out its limbs, and finally slowly stopped in mid-air.
It was a demon covered in flames, and one of his hands was nowhere to be seen.
Jiwen recognized the monster, the same demon that had escaped from the sewers last time.
