33. Rescue arrived
Spreading out her palms and watching the demon core in her hand turn into powder because of the lack of spiritual energy, Meiling waved her hand helplessly to disperse it. This was already the last magic core she carried with her for emergency replenishment, but even so, her own fighting spirit at this stage had only recovered two-thirds of it. No matter how economical you are, you can only maintain it for half a day.
Turning his head to look at Lord Neo, who was resting on the side, his condition was not much better than Meiling's. In fact, in the past three days, Neo Noahro's consumption has been much greater than Meiling's. As the strongest person in the team, Neo, who is a high-level lower swordsman warrior, has always relied on spreading the Douqi shield to act as a shield for everyone at the forefront, and later insisted on using combat skills to kill and injure the corpses to cover everyone after the Douqi was not replenished. At this time, his face was haggard and terrifying, and he had no graceful posture in the past.
And the rest of the team is not doing well right now. When the team was trapped here three days ago, there were seventeen members counting the three fighters, but only fourteen of them survived so far. And that's not counting one of the seriously wounded who completely lost his combat power and the two lightly wounded who could only exert 30% of their combat power.
Among the thirteen people who are still fighting at present, there are five members of Lord Neo's team, three members of Meiling's team, and five members of Mia's team. Among them, the most intact combat strength is Mia's team, excluding two minor casualties (Mel and Kevin). The other three, including Mia herself, are physically and energetic.
However, this is not surprising, because from the beginning of the defensive battle, Mia has preserved her strength and has been hiding behind, and the two intact subordinates under her command are her henchmen, so naturally Mia is the only one who looks ahead. As for the non-confidant members of her team, they were all pushed to the front by Mia as cannon fodder and sent to death.
Mia, on the other hand, is determined to retreat until she has no choice but to try to escape. As for being able to escape, she couldn't care much about it. Anyway, in her opinion, it would be a while to live a little longer. For this reason, even if you abandon all your comrades-in-arms around you, you will not hesitate to do so.
However, at this time, neither Neo nor Meiling can care about the infighting with Mia, after all, in the face of this situation, whether everyone can survive is a question. But what is certain is that if they all survive this time, I am afraid that they will all completely tear their faces with Mia Campbell. On the battlefield, a comrade-in-arms who disregards the safety of his colleagues at any time or even kills them is more dangerous than any enemy.
"Enemy Attack !!"
Just as everyone had just rested for less than an hour, the left-behind personnel who were in charge of monitoring the movements of the undead outside the fire wall suddenly shouted loudly.
"A monster has jumped over the wall of fire! Be careful...... Yes!!! ”
Suddenly, a scream came, followed by a terrible cry from another voice.
"Kevin! No! ”
Receiving the warning, Neo and the others quickly picked up their weapons and rushed to the location of the wall of fire, and then saw a ghoul who jumped over the wall of fire and crushed the head of Kevin, who was acting as a warning post, with one claw.
Mel shouted as he raised his long knife and slashed at the ghoul who killed Kevin.
"Flutter-"
"Flutter-"
There were two sounds of flesh piercing, and Mel spurted a stream of blood from his mouth, and looked unwillingly into his chest—only to see a sharp claw finger piercing through his chest.
Just as Mel's full thrust pierced the waist of the ghoul who killed Kevin, another ghoul who crossed the wall of fire from the other side also pierced Mel's heart with a claw!
In the blink of an eye, the two sentry warriors died at the hands of two ghouls.
What made Neo and the others even more palpitating was that with the help of the light source of the wall of fire, they saw that there were seven more ghouls climbing on the wall or the top of the wall, and crossed the wall of fire!
Nine ghouls!
A wave of despair welled up in Meiling's heart. According to Lord Neo's current state, it would be all his best to be able to stop the two ghouls. And I can only block one of them with all my might, and what about the other six? Even with the combat power of Mia and her two henchmen, they can only block two more at most. However, the last four extra ones were not at all what the other nine warriors could resist. Not to mention the large hordes of walking corpses outside the fire wall?
The final result is only the annihilation!
Fight!
Meiling bit her silver teeth and rushed forward with her spear, which was a stab at the ghoul who had been stabbed by Mel before!
Even if you want to die! Can't make these monsters feel good!
Meiling, who already has the will to die in her heart, runs her fighting spirit to the extreme, and the spear in her hand moves sharply, with a posture of fighting with all her might.
Including Lord Neo, the surrounding knight members also knew that today was afraid that the time of death was coming, and they all began to fight for their lives.
The sword-wielding warrior and the tooth-and-claw ghoul strangled together, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew in the passage! The splattered blood fell onto the burning wall of fire with a 'sizzling' sound, and a disgusting smell of blood added to the foul air in the passage.
Soon, two more of the Knights' warriors fell, and one of the ghouls was chopped to pieces by a knife on the ghoul side.
On the side of the Knights, not counting the three people such as Mia, who was still hiding behind, there were seven more people.
On the undead side, there are eight ghouls!
Seven Warlords and Warriors VS Eight Undead.
Numerically, the human side does not have an advantage.
In terms of quality, the two are far apart.
It was only a matter of time before he was defeated and died.
Meiling, who was struggling to fight, suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and the speed in her hand couldn't help but slow down. As a result, the shot that was supposed to stab the ghoul in the body was dodgled by the ghoul and missed.
"Oops! Reached the limit? A trace of bitterness welled up in Meiling's mouth.
The ghoul who flashed Meiling's spear stabbing let out a shrill and grabbed Meiling on the head with a wave of his claws.
"I'm going to die......"
Looking at the falling claws, Meiling was powerless to dodge.
"Okay...... Willing to ......"
Seeing the claws that were about to fall, Meiling subconsciously closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
"Brush—"
"Flutter-"
"Gah-"
The claws did not fall, but a monster scream entered Meiling's ears, and she opened her eyes in confusion, only to see the ghoul who was rushing towards her hovering strangely in midair, his legs and one claw hanging to the ground and twitching slightly. And at the arm of the other claw, which was held high, a sword tip pierced out. Mei Ling took two steps to the side, and saw that the long sword had not only pierced the ghoul's forearm, but had pierced the ghoul's head from behind, and then the arm. The sword-wielding man raised his sword aloft and lifted the ghoul in the air like a flag.
"Hello, little Meiling. We meet again. A familiar voice came from behind the ghoul. Why do you need someone to save your life every time we meet on the battlefield? ”
With this person's words, Meiling finally saw the face of the person who came.
I saw Shi Jinxin holding a long sword and picking up the corpse of a ghoul, looking at Meiling in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Shi Jinxin?" Meiling looked at the visitor and whispered in surprise.
"Hehe, it seems that he hasn't forgotten me." After throwing the ghoul corpse against the wall of fire, Shi Jinxin came to Meiling's side and helped her up. "How's it going, are there any injuries?"
Meiling subconsciously shook her head when she heard this, and then asked stupidly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Hey, you're not going to be stupid, are you?" Shi Jinxin looked at Meiling angrily and funny. "We're coming to this damn place, of course, to save you. Or do you think we're here for sightseeing? ”
"You...... Guys? ”
Shi Jinxin held Meiling with one hand, and with the other hand waved his sword to force back a ghoul who came up. "Your sister personally brought someone to rescue you, and my friends and I naturally came to help."
After listening to Shi Jinxin's explanation, Meiling looked to her side, only to see that in a battle not far away, Xue Xiaojing cut off one of the claws of a ghoul with a ring blade, and then raised her leg to kick the ghoul away, and then teleported to Lord Neo's side, waving her weapon to block another ghoul's sneak attack on Neo.
The other side. Li Xiang, who was surrounded by golden light, and the two ghouls were fighting together, only to see the ghouls' claws scratching Li Xiang, but they were blocked by the golden light. Li Xiang raised his war hammer unhurriedly, and with a single hammer, he slammed one of the ghouls into the wall, and then raised his hand to shoot a golden light at the ghoul. The ghoul, who was illuminated by the golden light, suddenly screamed loudly.
Wang Xi and Liu Chang threw magic missiles at the ghouls from time to time, and from time to time cast 'Slow' and 'Curse' (level Lv0, which causes enemies in a small area to make a short mistake and miss their attacks). Yang Qianyu held a long stick in front of the two, and occasionally when a ghoul approached and tried to attack the second daughter, he would be forced to retreat with a stick.
In the place where the wounded gathered in the rear, Yang Zhao constantly used the 'Medical' (Level Lv1, healing a target to restore its health) spell to heal the wounded. I saw that from time to time he sprinkled handfuls of silver bright powder on the wounded who were sitting on the ground, and then saw that the wounded's originally rapid and heavy breathing gradually calmed down, and their faces were no longer uncomfortable expressions of pain.
"A few of us came to support first, and the other companions are doing their best to clear the undead walking corpses in the passage, and it is estimated that it will take a while to meet......" Shi Jinxin was explaining when a figure suddenly pounced next to him.
"I'm rubbing! And the end?! The long sword in Shi Jinxin's hand slashed, and the rushing ghoul flew back backwards with a scream, and a hideous scar appeared on his chest.
"Cut-it looks like this isn't a good time to chat." Looking around, Shi Jinxin pursed his lips.
At that moment, a flaming flaming arrow suddenly shot from the other side of the wall of fire.
