Under the prompting of Professor Liu Kai'an, the rescue team turned back towards the cliff, but on the way, they were surrounded and suppressed by puppets controlled by the 'Demon Vine'.

"Roar!"

In a low roar, all kinds of ugly and hideous puppets controlled by demon vines rushed towards Wei Zede and the others.

"Protect Liu Kai'an's father and daughter!"

The bow and arrow in Qi Wei's hand took the lead, and the arrow pierced through the head of a puppet that broke through, and he relied on his magic skill of piercing through Yang in a hundred steps, and every vibration of the bowstring represented the death of a puppet!

But there were so many puppets that they eventually rushed to the front of everyone.

"Kill!"

Qi Meng let out a deafening roar, and the long-handled battle axe in his hand opened and closed, setting off a killing storm among the puppet group.

'Wow!' Xiaohuarong '......'Sai Zhang Fei'......"

Wei Zede, who was holding a long sword, muttered: "The nicknames assigned by the system to these brothers are really appropriate......"

Since Li Daoyi's physical strength had not fully recovered, he was left by Wei Zede and others by Liu Kai'an's father and daughter for personal protection.

"Attention! There's a huge rock in front of the left, and we're going there to defend! ”

After beheading a beast puppet in front of him, Wei Zede, who was holding a long sword, shouted: "Everyone keep in formation!" Don't let the puppets rush in......"

It took about ten minutes for everyone to come to the place Wei Zede said, leaving behind the corpses of more than thirty puppets along the way.

With a muffled "boom", Qi Meng's battle axe slashed the right shoulder of a black bear puppet, leaving a terrible wound, but the beast swooped forward regardless of it, forcing it back several steps with great force.

"Roar!"

The black bear puppet opened its bloody mouth and tore at Qi Meng.

At this moment, a cold light flashed from between its neck, and the hideous beast head tumbled down.

Behind him, Wei Zede calmly withdrew the long sword in his hand.

"Phew!"

The body of the heavy, black bear puppet fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?"

Wei Zede looked at the corpse on the ground and asked in a low voice.

Taking a gentle breath, Qi Meng tried to move his right arm, and a trace of pain appeared on his face.

"It's okay! Mere trifle! ”

Hearing Qi Meng's answer, Wei Zede looked left and right, he pointed to Li Daoyi, who was fighting, and said in a deep voice: "Don't force it!" Let's go over there and take a breath......"

"Good!"

Qi Meng hesitated for a moment, then obeyed Wei Zede's arrangement.

Looking at Qi Meng's back as he left, Wei Zede's face sank.

The number and strength of the puppets far exceeded Wei Zede's expectations, if he hadn't rushed to Qi Meng immediately when he saw Qi Meng in danger, then Qi Meng would not have been as simple as hanging the lottery.

With a kick, the humanoid puppet that pounced on it stabbed through its throat like a poisonous snake.

"It's not okay to go on like this!"

Wei Zede's gaze swept across the battlefield, a huge number of puppets poured over one after another, the arrows in Qi Wei's hands were about to be exhausted, and the injured Qi Meng and Li Daoyi, who were recovering, were struggling to protect the panicked Professor Liu Kai'an's father and daughter.

Judging from the current situation, the end of the rescue team seems to be predestined.

"What to do? The rate of physical exertion is too fast......"

Wei Zede, who was thinking about countermeasures, swept the long sword in his hand and cut the two small beast puppets that pounced in two.

"Alas! It's all because I pay too much attention to weapons and equipment, but ignore my own abilities......"

The system's prompt did not make Wei Zede react much, and he was still regretting his decision.

Nearly 30 minutes passed, and Wei Zede and the others, who had been in a state of high-intensity combat, were exhausted.

"Roar!"

Several inhuman roars sounded from above the huge rock where everyone was, and Qi Wei, who had run out of arrows, was thrown to the ground from behind by several ape puppets!

"Big brother!"

After seeing this, Qi Meng, whose eyes were red, ignored Li Daoyi's obstruction, and he rushed straight towards Qi Wei, who fell to the ground.

"Ahh

A burst of biting and chewing sounds sounded from Qi Wei's side, causing him to scream unbearably.

"Gross!"

Liu Ru, who was protected by Li Daoyi, couldn't hold back anymore after seeing this bloody scene, bent down and spit bitter water.

"Cross Slash!"

Wiezed his sword and unleashed this newly acquired swordsmanship skill, which consumed a full 100 skill points.

I saw a half-human-high "cross" sword blade shoot out, sweeping away the puppets within ten meters in front of him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Zede flew back, holding a long sword and protecting Professor Liu's father and daughter with the Taoist priest (Li Daoyi).

And at this time, Qi Meng, who was fighting bloodily, let out a desperate and bloodthirsty roar again, and the whole person swelled in a full circle in the roar, and the long-handled battle axe in his hand drew a trace of Dao Qi in the air.

"Madness?"

Li Daoyi said with a wry smile: "Qi Meng can't hold on for long!" When the 'madness' is over, he will be slaughtered by others......"

Speaking of this, Li Dao looked ruthless.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Wizard! I'm going to use a skill, but after using it, I'm going to fall into a coma......"

"Trust me!"

Wei Zede didn't say much, he just said three words very firmly.

"Good!"

Li Dao laughed, and saw him spurt out a mouthful of blood, and shouted in his mouth: "Front, soldiers, fights, people, all, arrays, columns, fronts, lines!" Curse the evil! ”

Along with this spell, a scarlet illusory rune appeared out of thin air in Li Daoyi's hands, and then, this rune exploded in an instant, turning into countless rays of light that shot out in all directions.

Everywhere the red light went, the golems fell to the ground.

"It's up to you!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Daoyi, whose face was like gold paper, fell unconscious.

"Let's go!"

Carrying Li Daoyi's body, Wei Zede led Liu Kai'an and Liu Ru's father and daughter to rush in the direction of the cliff.

……

Outside the valley and under the cliffs, Wei Zede and the others, who had escaped death, looked heavy.

"They're all dead...... Everybody's dead! ”

Liu Ru, whose eyes were red, couldn't stop choking, and Professor Liu Kai'an, who looked haggard, also sighed on the side.

"Is this what the D++ difficulty mission scenario really looks like?"

Wei Zede's heart was gloomy, "I still think the task is too simple......"

Looking at the unconscious Li Daoyi, Wei Zede had doubts for the first time about whether he could complete the task.

Silence!

The remnants of the rescue team spent a night full of sorrow in this dead silence.
