Chapter 49: Intrigue and Crisis

Greg's wounds had been treated, and the bleeding had stopped temporarily, but the tiredness on his face could be seen, and the gaze of Bonnie at Pierce was full of admiration and adoration.

There was just a big battle, and almost everyone's physical strength was exhausted, and if Pierce hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid all of them would have been more than lucky.

"What the hell is going on. ”

Pierce frowned, what he had seen along the way had already made him feel bad, this level of battle and casualties had definitely not happened in the last few demon hunting trials.

The breeze blew gently, but it carried a strong smell of blood.

"The situation is very bad. Greg let out a long sigh and said with a solemn face: "The demon has appeared. ”

"Demons?"

Pierce's gaze froze, although he had never seen a demon race, he was far more threatening than a fourth-level demonic beast when he heard this name.

The demons have been entrenched in this secret realm from beginning to end, it is said that it is the remnants left over from the ancient battlefield, with the entry of groups of adventurers into the secret realm, the remaining demons have also undergone several major purges, especially in the last hundred years, almost no one has seen the figure of the demons again.

Demons are the same as humans, they are capable of practicing fighting qi and even magic, but they have a body that is generally stronger than humans, and from the moment they are born, their existence is a sign of enmity against the major races.

"It's too sensational. Greg gritted his teeth and creaked, his eyes filled with angry fire, "We have been calculated by the demons. ”

Greg strictly obeyed the orders of the academy and always stayed near the teleportation point, and there were even five hundred Kingdom troops guarding here, except for the occasional second-level demonic beast, it can be said to be extremely safe.

Greg had seen many adventurer squads pass by, but soon someone sent back the news of the demons, but they didn't see it with their own eyes, and Greg was skeptical of this, not to mention that this place was close to the waypoint, even the demons couldn't shake the waypoint guarded by the Kingdom Army and the Holy Cult Army.

However, they didn't expect the demon attack to come so quickly.

High-level magical beasts, which can often only be seen in the six dangerous places, actually appeared around the teleportation point and commanded the beast herds to attack one adventurer team after another, killing nearly a thousand people in just one day, and this number is still rising.

Even this outpost fell under the target of the herd, but fortunately, Pierce arrived in time to defuse the crisis.

"You mean the demons are the devils?"

"That's right. ”

Greg nodded categorically.

"There aren't many demons, but they have the ability to control the beasts, presumably when we are defeated by the beasts, the demon army will launch a frontal attack. ”

Greg didn't expect that a good demon hunting trial would fall into such a tragic situation, and the death of a large number of young talents and elite soldiers would be a huge blow to the Norton Kingdom.

"Of course, the situation is worse for the children of the nobility. ”

"Reynolds and Steele from the Victor family, Princess Melinda, and Sally from the Drake family of St. Pat's kingdom. ”

These people in Greg's mouth are all young children of the royal family and big families, and the safety of these people is the concern of those in power.

When he heard about the Victor family, Pierce's eyes lit up.

"Where's the Victors?"

Feeling the coldness in the other party's tone, Greg didn't dare to ink and immediately replied: "We don't know, but the teleportation point is not far from here, and there must be news of them there." ”

Pierce nodded, and could only go to the teleportation point to gather information first.

The demons' attack is fierce, so this place will soon fall.

After a short rest, the group began to retreat, and as the commander died at the hands of the giant wolf, Greg temporarily commanded the remnants of the Kingdom Army soldiers and evacuated with the students to the third teleportation point.

The team retreated in a mighty manner, while Pierce followed last, flanked by the tail-wagging black dog.

At first, the black dog wanted to jump on the shoulder, but with its current size, the shoulder could not accommodate it at all, and it was directly slapped by Pierce.

At the same time, Pierce also noticed the change in the black dog's aura, it seemed that he had reached the level of a third-level demonic beast, but it still looked stupid.

"Evie, are you okay?"

Looking up at the blood moon in the sky, it seemed as if the bloody battle of the past few days was just the prelude, and the real crisis had just arrived.

The scorching sun hung overhead, and a group of people walked on the edge of the desert.

The elite guards lined up in a long line, always keeping an eye on the situation around them, and the slightest movement would arouse their alertness, and it was a girl who walked in front.

Sally raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, the glare of the sun causing her eyes to squint.

The environment in the secret realm is very strange, at first it was a dark and gloomy blood-colored plain, but in the blink of an eye, the sun is shining, and the foot has become a desolate desert.

"Where is this?" Sally asked, frowning.

"Miss, we are in the Ghost King Desert, one of the six dangerous places. The captain of the guard paused for a moment, and then said, "The Ghost King Desert is full of dangers, so I suggest not to take risks." ”

Twenty silver knights, although the overall strength is not weak, but if they want to enter the Ghost King Desert with this, it is tantamount to sinking into the sea.

The Scarlet Plains, which is also one of the dangerous places, at first Sally wondered if she had seen a large number of demonic beasts, and the group walked through the Scarlet Plains unharmed, until they found the battlefield strewn with corpses, and finally understood what was going on.

Even now, a question kept repeating in Sally's mind.

"Did he kill all those monsters?"

"Miss?"

The captain of the guard asked again, and Sally came to her senses.

Before she knew it, Sally had begun to be influenced by Pierce, and she couldn't tell whether she was disgusted or hated for the latter, or a completely indescribable feeling.

"Get out of here. ”

Sally was in no mood to continue exploring, only thinking about returning to the waypoint after a casual spin.

But just then, a guard noticed the situation.

"There's someone there!"

Sally looked for a voice, and sure enough, she saw a figure lying in the desert.

"Come with me to save someone. ”

"Miss, beware of danger. ”

The captain of the guard was bent on putting the safety of his young lady first, but Nasally had already rushed over, and everyone had to hurry up, for fear that something would go wrong.

Sally lifted the girl who had fainted in the desert up, and then released a blue halo in her right hand, and under the halo, the wounds on the latter's body gradually healed, and the lost vitality was recovered in time.

After the treatment, Sally did not forget to untie her water bottle and carefully poured water into the girl's mouth.

Finally, the girl woke up.

"Great, you're awake. ”

Sally has a childlike innocent smile on her face, happy that she has saved the girl.

"Who are you, your companion?"

However, the girl struggled to open her mouth, but could not make any sound, only her hands were gesturing in the air, as if she was anxiously saying something.

"You can't speak?" Sally was stunned for a moment, but then added, "But don't worry, you're safe now." ”

At this moment, the captain of the guard held a signal magic stone with a flickering light and walked quickly to Sally's side.

"Miss, Princess Melinda has sent us a signal for help. ”

"Location?"

"To the north, at the junction of the Valley of Long Hate and the Mountain of Broken Souls. ”

Sally lifted the frail girl to her feet, and then regained her former domineering momentum.

"Everybody headed north. ”
