Chapter 58: The End of the Road
Somewhere in the twilight forest, a vigorous figure shuttled through the jungle, killing the scattered and fleeing monsters one by one, and the wails that came from time to time were extremely miserable, and the monsters caught by the lion king swallowed their breath not long after.
"Why... Why is the Beastmaster in the Dusk Forest..."One of the team members muttered in despair as he looked at March overhead, his eyes dark.
Yesa glanced at the adventurer, his name was Ochie Karpass, a silver-ranked swordsman and the youngest member of the squad. At the age of his early twenties, reaching the silver level, the talent can be said to be quite good, and no one doubts that he will not reach the gold level, or even higher. Usually Aoqi is also a confident and sunny guy, full of confidence in his own strength and talent and future, but now, that sunny and cheerful atmosphere has disappeared, replaced by depression and despair.
Yesa, who wanted to say something to comfort him, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and in the face of absolute predicament, all words were miserable and powerless.
Looking at the desperate team members, Yesa couldn't bear it, and he turned his head to look at the cave. Illuminated by the three-colored moonlight, Yesa faintly saw the boulder hidden in the cave. Looking around again, the demonic beasts that surrounded them before had already scattered and fled, leaving only the five of them still in place, and the beastmaster was also gone. Its location could only be judged from the occasional mournful cry.
Silently judging the location of the Bloodthirsty Lion King, he found that it was a little far away from them, and the distance was still lengthening, and Yesa's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ochie, Naland, Karios, Gridland, listen to me." Yesa carefully lowered his voice and said to the desperate four, "We still have hope. โ
Hearing Yesa's words, all four of them raised their heads and looked at their captain in surprise. They really couldn't think of any way to escape the Beast King's hunt, so many demonic beasts scattered and fled, and they were all killed by it one by one.
Seeing that the team members had shifted their attention, Yesa continued: "Listen, there were about seventy demonic beasts that surrounded us before, and although the Bloodthirsty Lion King was strong, it was impossible for it to kill them all in a short period of time. I've just calculated that there should be a dozen more on the run now, and at least a hundred meters away from us, so we can rush into the cave and plug the hole. โ
"What if it gives up chasing the monster and turns back?" Someone asked.
"No, with the character of the bloodthirsty lion king, he will definitely kill them all. After a while, everyone listened to my command, and we rushed straight in, only forty meters, and we could rush into the cave before it came back, and then block the door. โ
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, but they still had some concerns.
"Can the stone stop it?"
"I can't stop it, but I know there's a secret exit to the cave, so let's stop it and leave immediately, and use magic potions to get rid of the smell. We have a good sense of leaving here. โ
While everyone was discussing, several more screams rang out. Someone still had questions, but was directly interrupted by Yesa: "Listen, we don't have much time, if you want to live, listen to me, this is our last chance, everyone will listen to my command in a while." โ
Karios opened his mouth, then closed it again, and instead of asking so much about wasting time here and waiting for death, it would be better to make a last ditch effort. The others no longer hesitated, their fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes, and they nodded towards Yesa.
Yesa also stopped talking, and motioned for everyone to get up and get ready to sprint. They also didn't show it too obviously, so as not to be noticed by the Beastmaster.
After a brief silence, a terrible howl rang out again, coming from the southeast. After hearing the wail of the demonic beast, Yesa instantly judged the distance of the sound, which was about two hundred meters away.
Now is the time!
"Rush!"
The command fell, and the five figures dragged their long shadows and ran wildly towards the cave forty meters away, and it only took a few seconds for them to rush in. And not long after they made a move, an explosion came from the direction of the demonic beast's howl just now.
The Beastmaster has found out!
People didn't turn their heads to look, it would be a waste of time and energy. Every second counts now, and they must enter the cave before the Beastmaster can get into the cave and seal the entrance, and then escape the cave before the boulder is shattered. Everything has to be done quickly, otherwise, they will really have to explain here.
After rushing into the cave, there was no pause, and everyone immediately stood behind the boulder and pushed it towards the entrance of the cave. Even though everyone is exhausted at the moment, everyone is squeezing every cell of their own, extracting every trace of magic power and delivering it to their shoulders and hands. Although it was only moving slowly, at least the boulder was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave.
A loud bang rang out incessantly, and even though no one was looking, everyone knew what it was. The Lion King was approaching at a very fast speed, and every time he kicked the ground, his strong hind legs would cause the ground to explode into countless fine pieces of stone and dirt, and explode into a violent sound.
The boulder got closer to the hole, the gap got smaller and smaller, the explosion got closer, and they even saw the figure scurrying through the jungle. Everyone's heart is in their throats, and they are desperate to exert every ounce of strength.
Finally, the boulder was blocked, and the whole process from rushing into the cave to plugging the boulder did not take more than ten seconds, but everyone felt as long as an era (thousand years). Before they could catch their breath, the group turned around and left, and Karios took out the magic potion he had prepared and threw it to the ground.
Ping Pong โ
Bang โ
Two explosions sounded at the same time, one was the sound of the test tube containing the magic potion smashing, and the other was the sound of the lion king slapping the boulder, because this time, the whole cave trembled twice because of this, and the broken stones fell.
There was no one in the Crazy Knives squad looking back, it was pointless, all they had to do now was run as much distance as possible in the extremely limited amount of time.
However, before they could run a few steps, even the magic potion had spread, and a desperate voice came from the mouth of the cave.
Boom โ
The boulder exploded, shooting out countless large and small rubble, and slammed into the back of the fleeing Crazy Knife Squad.
Poofโ
Ahem -
Without exception, everyone was caught off guard by the violent force and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Yesa even heard the crunch of Och's vertebrae breaking.
They knew that this stone could not stop the beastmaster, but they didn't expect it to collapse before they could survive the second blow.
Coughing up the blood in his chest, Yesa looked at the bloodthirsty lion king pacing towards him, and looked at its bloodthirsty pupils.
By the light of the moon, he understood the meaning.
It was a cat's mockery of a mouse, and a banter.
They're done.
