The land in the wilderness suddenly cracked and sank into a large piece of land with a loud muffled roar and a strong tremor, and then fell into calm again.

After a long time, a hand suddenly stretched out from the dirt, then a second, a third, and these hands were seen to stir the surrounding dirt indiscriminately, and then several gray-faced figures wriggled from the loose ground.

Lying on the ground, coughing up the dirt in his nose a few times in a row, Lloyd rolled over and lay on his back on the ground, greedily breathing in the fresh air, while the others were no better off than he could see.

"Hah, I almost fainted in the field just now, it's the first time I've experienced what it's like to be buried alive when I'm so big!" Randerson cried out gasping.

"Stop shouting! no one has time to pay attention to you, what do you have to complain about? Who just said that you would rather be buried than be in the company of those monsters!" Simon, who had always maintained mutual scolding with Rankson, was not idle.

"The situation is different now! Who wants to die if there is a way to live! Xia Ni, you have always loved to be clean, now you have to clean up after you go back!"

"If I can turn evil into good luck every time, if I don't take a bath, I will admit it!" The only woman in the team now completely abandoned her usual elegant demeanor and vented the pressure in her heart to the fullest.

"Besides, it's not me who loves cleanliness the most, it's Curt who ......."

"That's right, haha......"

"Hahaha!"

A joke that was not funny caused everyone to laugh wildly, which was an opportunity to express the joy and tension of the rest of their lives.

After a while, several people got up one after another, and everyone didn't forget to check on Earl who had been brought out together, and the weak breathing after the coma made him the easiest one on this 'Earthwalker' trip, and although his condition was still not optimistic, at least he could take him to seek medical treatment for his injuries now, which was a blessing in misfortune.

"Lloyd, thanks to you this time, you saved the lives of several of us, but I will talk about the thanks! Now Earl is in urgent need of detoxification, we are going to go back to the city to find a qualified priest to heal or buy purification potion, but these two may be difficult to find, in case it will break down in time, I wonder if you can contact your teacher and entrust him to help make the potion?"

Curt knew that such a request was a bit rude, but in order to save his partner, he couldn't take care of these small things for the time being, and as a partner who had lived and died together, he was sure that with Lloyd's character, he would never turn his face on them for such a trivial matter.

"I think it should be okay, my mentor is very enthusiastic!" Xiao Yi in Lloyd's eyes definitely does not match the impression in the eyes of others, I don't know if it is because of his 'special care', he has almost blind worship and trust for Xiao Yi.

"Without further ado, let's get going!" said Curt, visibly overjoyed, and hurried to the camp with a group of men to pack up for the return trip.

But when they returned to the camp, they found that the tents and other things had been destroyed, and the horses they were tethered to the side had turned into bones, emitting a strong smell of blood, and a tall shadow stood among the wreckage.

And when it heard the voice and turned to face them, the ugly image caused Simon to exclaim, "Bone Hunter!"

Once mixed in with a large mercenary group, as the most knowledgeable Simon among several people, his reaction naturally aroused the alarm of everyone, except for one person, of course!

Seeing that the tools for returning to the city were destroyed, Landson immediately rushed forward with his sword in a rage, even if he was scarred now, but it was definitely not an undead monster that could be bullied at will, just like he had just behaved in the ruins.

But it's a pity that the situation is completely different now, the tall monster stretched out its claws and slapped down, and Landerson quickly took out his shield to block the attack steadily, but the steel shield that was still intact after the big battle was easily broken like iron at this moment, and the sharp claw blade pierced into the arm, dripping with blood, and the great oppressive force made Landerson have to kneel to the ground.

Before he could figure out a way to fight back, another claw slapped on the side of his body, and luckily he was able to block the direct attack on his body with his sword-wielding hand, but in the end he was knocked out, with broken ribs, excessive blood loss, extensive soft tissue contusions, and multiple lacerations on his arms and body with fractures, which were enough to incapacitate him.

Then the monster did not stay still as before, but rushed towards several people at a swift speed that was extremely incongruous with his huge body, and Curt, who had just had time to open the magic shield, bore the brunt of it, because the magic power was close to exhaustion and he was in a hurry, and he was instantly knocked down in a flash.

As an archer, Xia Ni's actions were no worse than those of thieves, and with the time consumed by her two companions as a buffer, she dodged the blow of the monster rushing over, and returned three arrows with her bow in a row, hitting the target accurately.

But the monster that Simon called the 'Hunter' obviously didn't take these things seriously, and rushed over directly to continue the attack, this time Xia Ni had a little difficulty dodging, and had to scrape a few bloody cuts on her arm, so she didn't dare to shoot casually, but concentrated on dodging the attack.

Looking at the dangerous struggle of his companions, Simon on the side was very conflicted in his heart at the moment, only he knew that the 'hunter' in front of him was a high-level undead creature that mutated and evolved on the basis of the Devourer, and its strength was very terrifying, it was definitely a perverted existence with high attack, high defense, and high sensitivity, and it was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

In the past, when he was on a mission, he had personally seen the powerhouses of the seventh order die under the claws of the 'hunters', and these adventurers with the strength of the fifth order and around had no room to resist in front of this kind of monster.

According to the Thief's Creed, he tried to avoid all unwinnable battles, which is why he chose to give up the generous treatment of the large mercenary group and commit himself to the small group of adventurers, that is, because of his fear of death.

The lower the strength, the more difficult and dangerous the mission, so that personal safety is naturally guaranteed, and even he concealed his strength from the sixth order to disguise it as the strength of the fifth order, just to have hole cards to rely on in case of danger.

But now the danger in front of him is even far beyond his real strength, at this time rashly going up is to give his life in vain, no matter how hard he tries, there is no chance to change the final outcome, there seems to be a voice in his heart reminding himself that the most rational choice is to take this opportunity to escape quickly, so that there is still a chance to live, but he really can't do it!

Years of spending time together have allowed him to build a deep friendship with his fellow adventurers, and if he chooses to run away shamefully at this time, he will never be able to face his heart again, but if he does stay...... Is it really like this to throw away your life?

Just as he hesitated, he heard Lloyd's shout.

"Shani, get out of the way!"

Forcefully threw a bottle of potion at the hunter, and when the head was shattered, Xia Ni also happened to take advantage of the situation to dodge the side, and the sprayed potion was obviously strongly corrosive, pouring white smoke on the hunter's skin!

"Roar!"

The hunter, whose physical attacks had had little effect, was finally hurt this time, and he let out a howl in the sky.
