"I'll give me the two yakshas. Hurry up and kill those three. Keeping an eye on the movements of the two Yaksha in front of her, Nia shouted to the mercenary behind her.

"Captain, you can rest assured, these three yakshasas can't make any waves." It was Elite who spoke as one of the two third-order professionals in Nia's team. He has quite a lot of prestige in this team, and although Nia has not been assigned a position, everyone in the team has already regarded him as a vice-captain.

Although the situation in the rear was somewhat chaotic due to the sudden appearance of the Yaksha, Arit did not call for help from Nia. The captain has already relied on one person to hold two of them, can't a large group of people on his side even solve the remaining three?

But the ideal is full, but the reality is not so simple. Despite the best efforts of the mercenaries to attack the Yaksha, they were unable to completely suppress the Yaksha. And the Yaksha, as long as it can't be completely suppressed, will fight back regardless of the pain on its body.

Just by waving his thick arm the thickness of a human thigh, several mercenaries who approached were smashed upside down by the Yakshas. Although the mercenaries would not be killed directly under the protection of their equipment, their combat power was still greatly reduced by this strong attack. Compared to the previous zombies, the pressure on the melee profession has become greater for these yakshas.

Among the mercenary group, the two Yaksha pinned down by the third-order professional were better, at least when the mercenaries were repulsed, one of them could stand up and stop them for a moment. But on the side of only a few second-order high-level professionals, the situation was a little bad.

After stepping into the third order, due to the change in the nature of the fighting qi in the body, most melee professionals can master protection methods such as the fighting qi shield to improve their defense, but few people can achieve it before the third order. At least in this mercenary team, no one has this strength.

As a result, on this side, which was pinned down by a group of second-order professionals, every swing of Yaksha's arm would knock a few people out of the vicinity. But in order to prevent the Yaksha from breaking away from the warband and harassing the others, someone must be reinstated at the first opportunity.

Under normal circumstances, the big guild will use this method to challenge high-level demonic beasts. Under this method, although there will be sacrifices in battle, it is enough to grind those high-level demonic beasts below the fifth order to the death.

It's just that this type of combat requires at least a few hundred people when it is used......

And here, even if all the mercenaries on the back of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth are added, they can't make up two hundred people, and the number of Nia's team is less than twenty.

Because the pressure on this side is the greatest, during the battle, nearly half of the mercenaries have joined this battle group. But a small disparity in numbers alone will not reverse the disparity in strength.

In less than ten minutes, all the mercenaries on this side were already wounded, and if it weren't for the belief in their hearts, they would even want to scatter and flee immediately.

Although the mercenaries were doing their best to stop the Yakshas, with a lot of physical depletion and sluggishness due to physical damage, after holding out for ten minutes, the warband made a mistake in coordination for the first time.

Faced with the constant harassment of the mercenaries around him, Yaksha was quickly beaten out of anger. Taking advantage of the time to shoot two of the mercenaries away, Yaksha did not continue to attack the others, but raised his head high.

"Everyone, be careful, this yaksha is going to release skills." Seeing this, one of the mercenaries hurriedly shouted.

But Yaksha didn't give the men a chance to react, and before the mercenaries could retreat, a sharp noise came out of Yaksha's mouth, a chaotic roar from Yaksha.

Unable to dodge, the circle of mercenaries surrounding Yaksha was instantly affected.

The field of vision became blurred, and the body seemed to be disobedient at this moment. The few mercenaries who had surrounded Yaksha were as fragile as lambs at this time.

But the expected death did not come, and no other people's screams could be heard, and the Yaksha did not attack them.

Sounds like very good news. But the hearts of the mercenaries sank deeply.

Sure enough, after regaining control of their bodies, as soon as they opened their eyes, the mercenaries saw the situation that worried them the most.

The Yakshas, whom they had been holding back, were now in another warband. There are only four mercenaries in this warband, and it was with the help of the third-order professional among them that this wargroup can always be contained. And after the addition of this yaksha, the original balance was instantly broken.

Just as the four of them were putting all their minds on the Yaksha in front of them, the other Yaksha smashed down from the air.

The Yaksha that jumped from the other side fell to the ground, creating a shockwave that tossed all the masonry and stone on the ground. Suddenly attacked from outside, except for the third-order professional among the four, the other three mercenaries who were besieging the original Yaksha were easily seriously injured by this attack.

And when the mercenaries, who had been stunned, recovered, all they saw was that the two Yaksha were besieging the only remaining third order. At this moment, there was a deep wound on the chest and left arm of the third-order professional, and blood was pouring out irrepressibly with the fierce battle. If there is no one to support him, I am afraid that holding on for a minute will be his limit.

"It's over, it's over." A mercenary who had just woken up from his vertigo muttered. Once this third-order mercenary is killed, their team, even Captain Nia, will not be able to fight against the four Yaksha at the same time. And the end result is that all of them will be killed by the Yaksha one by one.

Feeling that the strength was gradually slipping away from his body, even this third-order professional who was being besieged didn't think that he would be able to escape today, and at this time he just wanted to stop the Yaksha for a moment before he died.

"Is this my limit?" His vision had blurred, and faintly, he could see Yaksha's thick arms smashing towards his head.

But at this moment, a small body stood in front of him, and the spear in his hand flicked, and the two yaksha were knocked out.

It turned out that Nia had finally rushed over at this critical juncture. It's not that she's already dealt with the other two Yakshas, and even she can't kill them all in the face of a siege. In fact, she had only managed to solve one of them during this time, and when she noticed that there was a crisis on this side and was trying to get a minor injury to herself, Nia finally used the shadow cloak to temporarily tie up the other one.

The spear swept, and while Nia knocked the two Yaksha away, she also temporarily lifted the crisis of the third-order mercenaries behind her.

The power of the Yaksha was enormous, and Nia's shadow cloak couldn't trap the other party for long. At this point, there was very little time left for Nia.

The palm of her hand turned slightly, and the intermediate recovery potion stored in the two bottles of the backpack appeared in Nia's hand, and this potion could instantly restore a certain amount of health. Then, taking advantage of the gap between Yaksha being repulsed, Nia turned around and shoved one of the potions into the mouth of the dying mercenary behind her, stretching the mercenary's mouth wide.

It can't be said that Nia's movements were rough at this time, after all, time is limited, and with the physical strength of a third-order professional, he can generally ignore this level of damage.

Awakening from his dying state, the third-order mercenary only felt something strange in his mouth. As soon as he vomited, a potion test tube about five inches long was spit out by him, and fell to pieces not far in front of him.

“？？？”

However, before he could digest the information after waking up, another test tube was stuffed into his hand.

"What a waste. Drink this potion yourself, and then, with the other mercenaries, go over there and stop the other Nakshatra. ”

With a confused mind taking the potion, the third-order mercenary went in the direction indicated by Nia. There, seven or eight mercenaries were wrestling with a Nakshatra.

Until he fought with Yasha, this third-order mercenary was still a little confused. He was still in a weak state, but the wounds on his chest and arm had stopped bleeding. Looking at the battle situation, it doesn't seem to be long, so what happened during the short period of time when I was dying?

"On my side, what about the other three teams?" While facing the new two Nakshatas, Nia was still thinking, "I just hope they can all come back safely." ”

And in a place where Nia and the others couldn't notice, a black figure with red eyes slowly moved its body back into the shadows. When the Yaksha broke through the defenses, the shadow was ready to jump out, but Nia's smooth rescue had dispelled it.

This seemingly youngest human individual, it can't see through it.

After that, the battle was much more stable, and shortly after Nia killed one of the Yakshas, Elite also completed the battle with the cooperation of his teammates. Soon, the remaining two Nakshatras were also dealt with one after another.

After the battle, Nia lit a fire for the mercenaries and announced that they would rest in place. During this time, she counted her previous battle losses. The number of mercenaries seriously injured in this attack alone was close to half of the team's number, and even if Nia was able to suppress her injuries with the help of potions, she would not be able to fight again in a short time.

And among these people, most of them were mercenaries with lower strength, who were more than the second order and eighth rank, and did not suffer much damage.

Looking at such a result, Nia couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "When the strength reaches a certain level, the gap in strength will be difficult to make up with the number of people." And this time, if you want to face Lotus directly, those mercenaries whose strength is below the second and fifth levels will not be of any use, unless you use them as cannon fodder. ”

After a period of rest, the mercenary team set off again. This time, they made it to the Temple of Purgatory. Pushing the door in, the interior of the temple was extremely empty, except for a stone platform in the center, on which a book with dark lines was lying steadily.

"Is this the job done?"

Nia reached out to fetch it, but the alarm suddenly rose in her heart, and she jumped backwards, and a huge body smashed down where Nia had been standing before.

It is similar to the Yaksha encountered before, but the Yaksha in front of him is larger, and the color of his body has changed to a blue-gray like marble. It is the leader here, the Yaksha King.
