Chapter Seventy-Three: The Heroes
It rained blood all night, and the red mist hit the face with the wind, and the clammy and cold feeling made the skin tingle slightly.
In the dark forest of the Southern Side, the narrow roads were muddy and dirty, and the occasional bloody corpse of a human could be seen, both ordinary citizens and demon hunters. The death was terrifying, the broken internal organs could be seen everywhere, the blood flowed quietly, and the rich bloody atmosphere permeated everywhere.
The sound of fierce fighting was played from everywhere, and sometimes there were terrible screams, which were terrifying to hear.
After the witcher rushed into the dark forest in the direction of the West Sector according to the mission instructions, he was immediately hit by various demonic creatures.
At first, it was relatively smooth, but as more demonic creatures joined in, casualties inevitably appeared.
Although Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang restrained more than half of the demonized creatures in this direction, under the control of the Tree Demon King, a large number of demonized creatures still gathered around to stop the demon hunters from advancing.
There were dozens of demons and monsters alone, and those strange-shaped, innumerable demon insects were even more wave after wave, like locusts erupting, with a tyrannical and ferocious aura, from all directions towards the demon hunters who rushed in.
Many demon hunters have followed Xu Hao's example, using tall buildings to escape the pursuit of demonized creatures in the dark forest.
The initial effect was good, but it didn't take long for everyone to immediately increase their pressure as a large number of flying demon insects joined in.
Although taking the high-rise route allows them to avoid some demons and monsters in the land forest, it also completely exposes them to the field of vision of the flying demon insects, making them the target of public criticism.
These demon hunters didn't have Xu Hao's superb and agile body skills and range attack skills, and they immediately fell into a bitter battle.
The slightly stronger ones can still resist with all their might, and they are wearing C+-level black blood suits, and they can still forcibly break out of the encirclement under the joint resistance.
And those who are weak and are reluctant to spend points or simply do not have enough points to exchange for black blood battle suits, can only be forced to activate the only body protection golden talisman at a critical moment to temporarily save their lives.
In this process, a few demon hunters who didn't react fast enough didn't even have time to use the body protection golden talisman, so they forcibly broke through the defenses of many flying demon insects, and immediately let out a terrible scream, dead and wounded.
In less than half an hour, five or six of the more than forty demon hunters who had charged from each floor had lost their combat effectiveness.
Most of them are demon hunters who are at the bottom of the ranks and haven't even passed the corporal-level assessment.
Now facing the impact of many demonic creatures, the test is how well they perform in battle, and there is no luck to say. Those who lack strength are doomed to be eliminated.
As a result, many demon hunters were forced to land in the dark jungle in order to avoid those flying demon insects, and had to fight with those demon monsters.
The hidden tree demons attacked one after another, and the demon insect colonies on the land also followed, and the demon hunters resisted with all their might, fighting as they went, and launched a life-and-death escape in the direction of the West District.
As time passed, the dozens of witchers who gathered in the southern region gradually dispersed into multiple teams, and the distance between them and them varied from one to the other.
A strong team can force out of the encirclement with enough explosive power and run far ahead; The weaker ones naturally fell behind, stubbornly resisting the demonized creatures that rushed from all sides.
At this moment of testing life and death, it is impossible for everyone to truly work together, and even in order to keep themselves alive, there are not a few people who secretly do it.
Of course, due to the limitations of this mission, the witchers can't directly do something to hurt each other.
But for some cunning and ruthless witchers, many times they don't need to take action in person, and some covert means such as killing people with knives can put the other party to death, and then successfully survive better.
In the blink of an eye, several more demon hunters who had fallen behind tragically died on the way. Even if they are injured and do not die, as long as they lose their combat effectiveness, no one will turn back to save them. At this time, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, what else is there to talk about saving people?
Fortunately, the King of Tree Demons in the depths of the Dark Jungle had already transferred away a large number of demonic biota one after another to block Leng Xiaogang and Xu Hao at the forefront, otherwise their casualties along the way would definitely increase exponentially.
In this way, even if they successfully complete the first stage of the mission, it would be good to be able to survive half of them.
……
The attack of a large number of flying demon insects has forced many witchers into the dark jungle, but there are still a small number of witchers who have stubbornly fought their way through the tall buildings with their superior combat effectiveness.
Without the many obstacles in the dark forest, they could move much faster than the witchers in the jungle.
The swordsman Fan Fan is one of the leaders.
At this moment, he was already close to the place where Xu Hao had first fought with the Tree Demon King.
Now that area has become chaotic, bloodstained everywhere, and turned into a hellish killing field.
The streets were littered with rubble and holes, and the high-rise buildings were reduced to dusty ruins, and the corpses of countless mutilated citizens were scattered all over them.
There are still a large number of demon insects patrolling back and forth, and as long as they find survivors, they immediately pounce on them, and the sound of screaming and wailing continues to come from the buildings in the streets.
Fan Fan held a sharp white knife in his hand, and leaped between the tall buildings at a rapid speed.
Not far in front of him, more than a dozen flying demon insects with a strange scream quickly chased after him from the side, opening their mouths full of fishy fangs in unison, and biting Fan Fan fiercely.
"Dead open!"
Fan Fan's face was pale, he didn't dodge or dodge, and he slashed over with a knife in his face!
Throat!
The sword light was as fast as lightning, and at the same time as it slashed through the flying demon insects in an instant, the violent airflow fluctuations exploded, and a powerful force of vitality counterattack suddenly acted on the bodies of the dozen or so flying demon insects that had been killed.
Several demon insects in the center were shattered on the spot, black blood splattered, and the flying insects and demon insects on the periphery were also directly shocked to more than ten meters away, and the wings on their bodies were broken one after another, and they fell down with a hiss.
Swordsman Martial Arts - Heartbreaker!
With a knife to repel the attack of the demon insects, Fan Fan was about to continue to rush forward, when a man's voice suddenly came from behind: "Fan Fan, wait!" ”
He frowned slightly, and looked sideways.
Not far from him, a total of three people, two men and one woman, were quickly rushing towards him, and on the way, they encountered a small number of flying demon insects attacking one after another, but they all rushed out unharmed, and they were all very fast.
These three people are the handsome young man surnamed Xiao, a bald strong man and a woman with a sharp face in green.
It is worth noting that at this time, outside the body surface of the three of them, there is a circular circle of light, and whenever they are attacked by flying demon insects, this circular circle of light will shine, isolating those flying demon insects.
As the impact increased, the light of the circular circle of light on the three of them gradually dimmed, and it was obvious that they couldn't hold on for long.
If Xu Hao was there, he would recognize that this was an extremely important and effective auxiliary martial art for the healer, the shield of light.
It was the green-clad sharp-faced woman who was the healer who performed it.
The related martial arts spell scroll was very precious in the early days of the Scarlet Age, and it was not on the exchange list provided by the Demon Hunter Emblem, and she was able to use this martial art freely, indicating that the woman with a pointed face in green had another adventure.
Fan Fan just glanced at the three of them indifferently, then turned around and continued to run forward.
However, the three people in the rear, with the blessing of the four-character proverb of the woman in green and pointed face, quickly caught up with him.
Dozens of flying demon insects continued to surround and kill them, and the four of them were distributed in different directions, resisting with all their might.
The handsome young man surnamed Xiao and the bald strong man are very good, especially the handsome young man surnamed Xiao, whose archery skills are extremely accurate. In the battle, he was unhurried and calm, showing a superior psychological quality.
His body skills are also good, he can calmly make various dodge actions in the siege of four or five demon insects, and he is not easy to shoot, but he will definitely be able to hit the target with one shot, and sometimes he can even kill two birds with one stone, showing extremely excellent archery cultivation.
The green-clad woman with a pointed face is the most effective team, not only does she know the shield of light, but she also knows a weakening martial art, Chaos Storm: a range attack skill that belongs to the Healer.
When this skill is used by the green-clothed woman with a pointed face, it is not lethal, but it can break up the flying demon insects, making it easier for them to break out of the encirclement.
With her assistance, the four of them repelled three waves of flying demon insects in a row.
The young man surnamed Xiao came to Fan Fan's side, stood side by side, and said with a slight smile: "Fan Fan, what I said last time is still valid, it's still the same sentence, join our team, and only by joining forces can you show all your strength." ”
The bald-headed strong man and the sharp-faced woman in green on the other side also looked at Fan Fan, with different expressions, not friendly, and even faintly hostile.
Fan Fan looked at the handsome man surnamed Xiao, with a hint of banter in his eyes, and said, "If I join your team, then I will be the boss of this team in the future, or will you Xiao Yisheng?" ”
Hearing this, the bald strong man and the green-clothed sharp-faced woman both showed a bit of anger, the bald strong man was about to have a seizure, Xiao Yisheng had already waved his hand to stop him, he couldn't see the slightest gloom on his face, laughed, and said: "We demon hunters speak with strength, you are stronger, naturally you are the boss." As long as I can make the team strong, it doesn't matter if I Xiao Yisheng is the boss or not, Fan Fan, what do you think? ”
Fan Fan didn't speak, and the bald man behind him couldn't help but choke: "Big brother, I, Zhang Tiexiong, only recognize you as the boss, and the others are birds!" ”
"Shut up!" Xiao Yisheng drank coldly, and was about to explain a few sentences, when Fan Fan had already set off and jumped to the roof of a high-rise building in front of him.
"Fan Fan, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as him-" Xiao Yisheng quickly followed, and before he finished speaking, Fan Fan interrupted him coldly, and said with a sneering face: "I don't have any interest in the defeated team, especially your Xiao Yisheng's team, do you understand?" After saying that, he sneered, his steps accelerated in vain, and he quickly galloped forward.
At this moment, not only the bald strong man and the green-clothed sharp-faced woman behind him were angry, but even Xiao Yisheng, who had always remained modest, also became gloomy at this time, staring coldly at Fan Fan's departing figure, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"This paralyzed hair, Lao Tzu will destroy him!" The bald man turned red with anger, shouting that he was about to catch up and fight.
"That's it!!" Xiao Yisheng snorted coldly and glared at the bald man, who didn't dare to disobey him, and could only stare at Fan Fan who was running away with hatred.
The woman with a pointed face in green had a cold face, and said, "Xiao, I don't want this kind of person no matter how strong it is." The next time you see him, you must find a way to kill him, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this breath! ”
Xiao Yisheng looked at the direction where Fan Fan left, which was the area where Xu Hao and the King of Tree Demons were fighting, and said expressionlessly: "With his usual style of acting, as long as he meets the guy in front, maybe we don't need to make a move at all, and the two of them will have a winner." ”
Hearing this, the bald-headed strong man and the green-clothed woman with a pointed face were shocked, and they all looked at the area in the distance that had been covered by billowing dust and red fog, and constantly made a loud noise.
"Hmph, it's better that mysterious archery master to kill him, so that I don't have to see him disgusting again!"
The green-clothed sharp-faced woman had a grim look on her face, and then smiled to herself, and said, "With that boxer, with the three of them to contain that boss-level demon, we may be able to reach the location of the black-robed envoy faster and get the three additional rewards first." Hmph, no matter how strong they are, they will make us wedding dresses in the end. ”
"Not bad." Xiao Yisheng smiled coldly, but secretly said in his heart: "The best result should be that they end up with that boss-level monster..."
Saying this, another wave of flying demon insects attacked them, and the three of them hurriedly concentrated their efforts to resist.
After dealing with this wave of flying demon insects without any danger, the three of them decided to bypass the central area where the Tree Demon King was located, although it would take more time, but it was nothing compared to facing the huge threat posed by the Tree Demon King.
