[Date: December 22nd]

"Yanliu! You take Fran in first! Quick!" A female Red Devil adventurer shouted loudly, the person she was talking to was behind her, but at this moment, she had no time to turn back, and all her attention had to be focused on the front. Judging from the light armor in his body, the sword, shield, and heavy sword in his hand, this is a cross knight.

Boom! A thump slammed into the magical barrier, sending a heavy, muffled sound. A brilliant crack appeared in the golden magic barrier, but it was quickly repaired by magic.

The Cross Knight is currently deploying a defensive barrier with all his might, resisting the attacks from the monsters ahead. The sword and shield in his hand were enchanted and covered by a netted golden shield like a beehive. This shield looks very sturdy, and the magic shield that extends out has a lot of coverage.

There was no doubt about the strength of the shield, but at this moment, the demonic beast that this adventurer was fighting against was menacing.

Syllable! tong！ Boom! piziii！ A loud crash accompanied by the squeak of a laser continued to attack the magic shield.

Although the magic shield seemed to be able to hold on, the adventurer was repulsed little by little. With heavy attacks one after another, the Crusader was forced backwards again and again.

On the opposite side of the shield were six magical beasts of different appearances, the largest of which was also the most conspicuous was a shadowed mountain scorpion wrapped in a black ribbon. The huge body was ten meters long, and the black pincers were bigger than four cows. And what this Crusader Knight resisted was the giant scorpion's repeated pincer onslaught.

"Hehe, on the other side, the strength is not small." She said with a cold sweat on her face, although she could prevent it, she couldn't bear it for a long time.

"As a Cross Knight, I now have to help my teammates retreat to safety."

"But the scorpion is really annoying!"

At this moment, a boy's voice came from behind her: "Tianyang! OK! Hurry up and come in!"

Following dozens of snow-white wind blades in an arc-shaped trajectory, they bypassed the Cross Knight, and from the top of the cave covered with red crystal ore, they raided the demonic beast behind the magic shield.

cizi！ The Wind Blade collided with the black skin of the Shadow Scorpion, and the Wind Blade emitted a sound similar to that of a welding torch and swirled out layers of air. However, this did not cause any harm to the scorpions. However, it provided a short interval between attacks, and while the scorpion did not attack, a black-haired teenager grabbed the hand of the Cross Knight and pulled her into a crevice. (At this moment, the two of them are wrapped around their feet with the blessing of the wind, the magic that increases the speed of movement.)

But when the two of them were still three meters away from the gap, they didn't know which demonic beast released a flame.

Through the perceptual magic of the wind system, the boy immediately sensed the attack.

"Tianyang, you go first!" An emerald wind appeared in the boy's palm, and slapped at the Cross Knight, a strong wind blowing up, sending her directly behind the gap.

However, although he had saved his teammates, he himself had lost his balance at the moment due to the depletion of his mana.

With a stumble, he fell to the ground, his upper body had entered the gap, but his lower body was still outside. Obviously, you can go in as long as you move, but you don't have the strength anymore.

"How can this be......" The young man lay on the ground, his eyes losing their brightness. And behind him, the flames were already raging.

At this moment, a silver flying knife flew out of the gap, the flying knife was engraved with a flashing golden inscription, and the moment the flying knife touched the flames, it bloomed into a thunderbolt barrier like an umbrella bone, blocking the flames.

A slender girl with cat ears and the Crucifixal Knight stretched out their hands together and pulled the boy down the gap into the hole behind.

"......" The cat-eared girl wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, panting weakly, and squatted on the ground on one side.

The Crusader on the other side went directly to his back tiredly, gasping for air.

In the mine covered with red crystals, there were a total of four people, in addition to the three just now, there was also an 11-year-old ancient little girl, dressed as a magician, with a bandage on her right arm, lying flat on the ground.

They are the Yanliu Squad, and the captain is the black-haired boy - Yanliu, who is a platinum-level adventurer like Ninety-Nine.

And the remaining three people are all blazing-gold level adventurers, Meng Tianyang (Cross Knight), Shinruo Er (elemental gunner), and Fran (white magician).

The Knight of the Cross lay on the ground and said weakly, "First, rest for a while."

The cat-eared girl nodded, "Well, I'll keep watch, it should be fine here."

……

After a while, the Crusader and the black-haired boy came to their senses, but the tiny white mage Fran did not.

The cat lady was sticking to the side of the wall, her left hand on the right side of her abdomen, naturally leaning against the wall, vigilant of the monster outside the gap.

"Ahem." Yan Liu sat up strongly, looked around, and realized that he had fainted just now because of too little magic power, and his face was full of remorse, "Damn...... How could I make a mistake in this place......"

"Captain, are you awake?" Meng Tianyang walked over.

Yan Liu nodded, her head was still a little dizzy, and it seemed that the dizziness caused by the lack of magic power was still there, "What's wrong?" Outside?"

Shining Ray, who was leaning against the wall, whispered, "As you said, they didn't go on the attack."

"Hmm." Yan Liu nodded, and gently stroked the pale face of Fran's forehead with one hand, her black eyes were full of self-blame, and at the same time, a layer of almost imperceptible magic circle lit up at her fingertips and disappeared.

"How's Fran doing?" Tianyang asked with concern.

"The poison has been, it has been solved, but the body is still unconscious." Yan Liu lowered his head and said, under the black hair that no one noticed, his eyes were full of remorse of self-blame.

"So, what then? Fran she'll be fine."

"Don't worry, as long as there is me, she will not be in danger. But it's better to get out of here quickly, and when the three of us recover a little bit of strength, we can think of a way out together." Yan Liu still lowered her head and said.

"Okay......" Tianyang didn't say anything more, she came to Shining Ruo'er's side, "Shining Flash, your injury?"

Before Tianyang could finish speaking, Flash Ruoer quickly replied, "It's okay."

"Really? You'd better go and get some rest, I'm almost recovered, so I'll leave it to me."

Tianyang stretched out his hand and said with concern, but suddenly Flash Ruo'er smiled bitterly, and said weakly, "Then-I'll rest first......" Then she fainted.

Tianyang hurriedly supported Shan Ruo'er, who almost fell, and immediately found that there was a blood stain on the wall that Shan Ruo'er was leaning against just now.

"Captain! Twinkle, she's hurt!" Tianyang shouted.

"Huh?!"

Shemra was placed next to Fran, and the captain took a bottle of magic potion out of his pocket and fed her. Immediately, her complexion improved a lot, and she opened her eyes slightly.
