Chapter 212: An Unexpected Helper
At the entrance of the stone staircase passage that came down from the ground, more than a dozen desert giant scorpions that had drilled in were blocked in a formation, one by one, and the two front claws were restlessly closed one by one, and the terrifying huge tail hook stood straight, looking completely difficult to provoke.
On the other side, hundreds of depraved mercenaries crowded the inside of the hall, and there were seven or eight leaders standing in the front row, and everyone, including Luther, had a little less of the ferocity that had chased the two of them outside, and was replaced by a gloomy and faint fear of not knowing what was going on.
Not in the mood to study the changes in the mentality of those mercenaries, looking at the formation of the enemies around her, Cheruth couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Hey, this is really not good, although those scorpions don't seem to be strengthened and mutated by any strange power like the three big bugs outside, they still don't look easy to mess with, and the mercenaries behind them, not to mention those miscellaneous soldiers, just those leaders who seem to be at the same level as that Hulud are enough to be a headache, and in such an underground space, it is difficult to give full play to the air superiority of himself and Nanoha......
Biting her lip, Cheruth raised her hand to hold the demon wolf crystal on her neck, and her eyes shifted from the enemies around the enemy to the two enlightened Templar Knights with solemn expressions beside her.
The mercenaries had more or less seen the strength of Cheruth and Nanoha, and officially accepted Jett's order to capture Cheruth alive who already knew of Cheruth's existence in the ruins, so they only cautiously approached the four people in the center to find the best time to strike.
However, the desert giant scorpions on the other side obviously did not have such a good temper, although under the coercion of the mercenary leaders who accepted Jett's power, these ordinary fallen giant scorpions did not immediately pounce on the four of them according to the instructions, but after a long time, these aggressive scorpions were a little impatient, and finally, the giant scorpion at the top suddenly raised its claws and launched a charge towards the four people in the center.
Nanoha raised her hand, and a magic cannon shot blasted the giant scorpion back away, but this seemed to become a signal, and the scorpion group that was already ready to move suddenly rioted, and followed the giant scorpion in the lead with dangerous tail hooks, and attacked Chelus and the others viciously like a small chariot.
Seeing that the giant scorpions launched an offensive, the mercenaries on Luther's side were not to be outdone and raised their weapons and hugged them under the leadership of several leaders.
Nanoha, who had been watching the scorpion vigilantly, immediately activated the magic spear in her hand and aimed at the giant scorpions at the head to shoot the compression magic cannon, while Cheruth did not hesitate to hold her hands falsely and control the air in her palms to violently vibrate to form an ultrasound source, preparing to let the two Templars who were too afraid of her identity being exposed to her full strength to retire from the scene.
However, before Cheruth could make a black hand on the two stupid big men, suddenly there was a loud explosion behind the mercenaries, and I saw that the passage in the center blocked by rubble was suddenly blown open by something, and suddenly a large amount of sand and dust flew out from there, covering a small area of the hall in the smoke and dust that obscured the view.
The sudden explosion caused the fallen creatures in the hall to stop moving, the giant scorpions, out of the creature's cautious instinct to deal with unexpected situations, and the mercenaries out of uneasiness about their own rear, in any case, gave the four people who were in a besieged situation a little respite.
The two knights looked happy, apparently thinking that the Shuai Ke squadron that had come in earlier had rushed back. Although Cheruth had strong doubts about this speculation, just in case, she still threw the ultrasonic vibration source that had already formed in her hand in the direction of the two mercenary leaders opposite, so as not to be seen by the Templar Knights squadron leader in the battle if it was really Shuaike.
However, the unfamiliar sound coming from the smoke frustrated all speculations.
"Burst Throw, Scatter the Star!"
Bang Bang Bang!
Less than a second after the words fell, dozens of bright orange sparks suddenly exploded on the bodies of the fallen mercenaries standing around the passage, and the crisp explosion sound was intertwined with the screams of the mercenaries, which immediately surprised all the fallen mercenaries.
Although there are large and small light clusters above the hall that provide the necessary lighting for this space, its brightness is limited to the necessary level, so most people don't know what happened or what the owner of the voice that spoke in the passage just now did, but Cheruth benefited from the demon wolf's ability to maintain relatively good eyesight in a dark environment, and clearly saw that at that moment just now, dozens of round black pills wrapped in purple douqi films flew out of the explosion channel, crashed into the bodies of those mercenaries and then exploded all at once。
So small...... Bomb?
Behind Cheruth, Nanoha was nervously holding the magic spear and confronting the scorpions who had stopped, not paying much attention to this side, so she didn't know what was going on after here except for the explosion just now. If the chestnut-haired girl saw this scene, she would surely remember the uncle who liked to brag casually in the duo of thieves who caused a riot on the street in front of the pavilion during the chaos at the Arrant Festival before.
Just when the mercenaries were in confusion because of the fall of their companions in the rear, the same "whoosh" sound sounded again, and then I saw the same explosion on the mercenaries near the entrance of the passage from near and far one by one.
Seeing their companions unconsciousnessed one by one, but still not figuring out how the other party did it, Rao couldn't help but feel a chill in the outcasts whose beliefs and souls had been destroyed and polluted.
And at the same time that the mercenaries spontaneously began to retreat away from the entrance of the passage, suddenly a figure blessed with dark purple fighting energy rushed out of the blasted passage, and the fighting spirit spread out very strangely on both sides, like the wings of a bird, and the whole person was like a big purple bird, and broke through the shaking mercenary array in an instant, and instantly broke into the inner side of the encirclement.
"Come into the passage!"
If the flying stone throwing Chelus just now didn't have any associations because she didn't have a direct intersection with the other party, then the cool-looking black-clad forced man in front of her undoubtedly coincided with one of the two living treasures that Arlant sacrificed to her.
“...... Zhao Ri...... Ahem Zhao Hao?"
The iconic black cloak was still hunting and screaming because of the violent movements in the windless environment of the underground, and Zhao Hao easily repelled the three mercenary leaders in the inner circle who were caught off guard by his fast forward attack with thunder means, while dragging an obviously unhappy stinky face to look at the four people in the middle.
"Tsk, I'm still stunned!
As if it were friend or foe, Chelus blinked, and quickly recalled what Helo had told them about the old thieves, and it took less than a second to decide to believe the pretending man who suddenly appeared.
"Nanoha, two uncles, go!"
With that, Cheruth raised her hand and instantly used the magic guide compiler to apply the wind blast spell to the four of them, and then took the lead and rushed towards the somewhat dark hole that had been blown open.
Nanoha immediately responded to Cheruth's call, and used the magic spear in her hand to release a ball of four or five small magic missiles to drag the movements of the giant scorpions behind her, and Nanoha also stepped forward and ran behind Cheruth. The two Templars obviously did not have the tacit understanding between Nanoha and Cheruth, and they didn't know if it was because things took a turn too suddenly or because of the crisp "uncle", the two of them were stunned for two or three seconds before they took a step in Zhao Hao's cannibalistic gaze, and rushed up as fast as they could behind the two of them.
"Humph......"
It seemed that he was a little unhappy because of the sluggishness of the two Templar Knights, Zhao Hao's face was even more cold and stinky than before, and he looked at the mercenary leaders who came up with disdain and wanted to plug the gap in the encirclement that he tore open, and suddenly the bird-shaped mimicry on his body completely stretched out to form a majestic eagle eagle, and his hands opened his mouth in the shape of eagle claws.
"Get out of the way! Decepticon Claw!"
With a bang, the leaders of the mercenaries who surrounded him were all repelled by this sudden burst of blows, and some of the careless attackers even had a few blood marks on their chests from Zhao Hao's attack. For these mercenaries, Zhao Hao didn't have anything to look at except for their abilities that had been strengthened to the limit, so naturally he had no interest in continuing to entangle with them here, and after forcing them back with one blow, Zhao Hao also followed behind the two knights and galloped towards the central passage.
"Stop them!"
"Don't let them run!"
The leaders who were forced to retreat by Zhao Hao said angrily, and the giant scorpions on the other side also approached angrily because of the escape of their prey, but obviously these mercenaries on the outside of the encirclement did not stop Qiruth and others as they wished, and basically the ordinary degenerate mercenaries who were only intermediate and vindictive could not stop Qilusi and his party from breaking through at all, plus the bursting flying stones that kept flying from the passage at extremely accurate angles named those who dared to stand up and block them one by one, so soon Qiluth and others broke through the encirclement and entered the passage。
Inside the passage, Cheruth saw at first glance a middle-aged uncle in a somewhat loose costume standing at the entrance of the passage, frowning and constantly taking out small black balls from the cloth bag on his waist, and then flung them out skillfully with the blessing of his hand, and beside the uncle, a brown-haired girl was standing there with an old man with a hunched back, as if preparing something.
"You, you...... Thanks—"
Before Cheruth could thank her, Zhao Hao, who had caught up with Zhao Hao, who had caught up with him by relying on the gliding acceleration of his fighting wings, kicked two Templar knights in bulky armor into the passage one by one, and when he also came in, he spoke to the old man who was being held by the girl without hesitation.
"Old man, let's shoot!"
The old man's body that was being held by the girl suddenly became imposing, and his arm, which seemed to tremble slightly, was raised, and Cheruth only felt an indescribable magic wave spread outward from the old man's palm, covering all the mercenaries and giant scorpions rushing towards the passage.
“...... Stop, here...... Ahem...... Don't recruit thieves......"
