Hitomi hid here with the Black Flag's mercenaries, and everyone except her had unease on their faces.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon."

Hitomi glanced at her pocket watch by the light of the torch and sighed slightly.

I don't know if the Sentinels of Sidenia noticed the mutation in the wilderness.

Last night, an overwhelming array of demonic beasts came from the depths of the wilderness.

If it's just an ordinary tide of fierce beasts, with the fortifications of the D3 gathering place, Hitomi is still confident that he can hold his ground.

But when she found that everywhere she could see was full of black monsters, she quickly dispelled this naïve idea.

Warcraft is a fierce beast that can drive the law of strength, and the difference between it and the fierce beast is equivalent to the difference between ordinary people and inheritors, and the two cannot be compared at all.

This is not a C4 gathering place, the geographical location is not good, if it is surrounded by hordes of demonic beasts, it is a matter of minutes to be breached.

At this time, it was too late to escape, so she immediately made a decision, asking the Black Flag people to give up defending the gathering place, and hiding in the tunnel with some supplies, hoping to use this to hide from the sky and the sea, and use an empty city plan to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements.

I don't know what happened to the Black Flag C4 gathering place.

Hitomi looked up and thought a little distractedly.

It was the right choice not to let the Nightingale come with you last night, and having a Inheritor in the gathering place would at least allow them to last a little longer.

No...... The same cannot be said of it...... Although Nightingale is the inheritor, she is only a second-order now, and once the Black Flag Gathering Place is really targeted by powerful demonic beasts, her strength will only be a drop in the bucket.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Hitomi felt the more she felt in the face of the tide of demonic beasts that were coming towards them like an army, and the powerlessness in her heart gradually spread and fermented.

Everyone present should feel the same way, but she was the only one who couldn't express this feeling of powerlessness.

Because she is their leader, she is the leader of the crowd, and if even she loses her cool, then everyone will be crushed by despair before reinforcements arrive.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

There was a very clear and powerful tremor above the gathering place, as if a herd of elephants was crossing the gathering place, rushing unstoppably directly above them.

Hitomi can even make up the appearance that the gathering place has been flattened by the tide of demonic beasts.

Rao is mercenaries have usually experienced a lot of battles with fierce beasts in the wilderness, and many of them are still trembling at this moment.

The dull and turbid air in the tunnel became more and more oppressive, and any noise around it was stimulating everyone's fragile nerves, and Hitomi felt that she had to say something to divert everyone's attention.

"When do you think Sidney's reinforcements will arrive?" She asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them said sullenly, "Sidney...... Will those old men care if we live or die? ”

"They'll come." Hitomi said firmly, "I used to study abroad in Uptown, and I know about Sidney......

"That city symbolizes humanity's last hope on the continent of Eden, and though it has been put to sleep by a long period of peace, when disaster strikes—

"It will shelter everyone from disaster, and I've always believed that."

Hearing her say this, although everyone did not object, their faces were still full of suspicion.

They were all from the dungeons, and with the riots in the lower city just over now, they didn't have much of a sense of belonging to Sidney.

"Don't believe it!" Hitomi snorted, "Why don't we make a bet!" ”

"Bet on what?" The crowd was interested.

"I bet that within today, Sidney's reinforcements will arrive in the wilderness, and by tomorrow, we will be rescued!"

Hitomi looked confident, "Who is for and who is against?" ”

"I don't believe they'll be here tomorrow!" Biting Wolf rubbed his hands and said angrily, "I came down in a hurry last night, and I didn't bring much food supplies, so everyone should save some food and prepare for a protracted war." ”

"Looks like you're questioning my judgment as the head of the regiment!"

Hitomi knew in her heart that the words of biting the wolf were right, but she deliberately crossed her waist and pretended to be dissatisfied, "You want to bet with me?" ”

"What's the gambling method?"

"If you win, I'll make you the acting head of the regiment for a week."

Hitomi smiled, "But if I win, you'll have to be responsible for cleaning the gathering place for a week!" ”

"One person is in charge!?" Biting Wolf glared, "Do you know how big the gathering place is?" ”

"Otherwise, how can you call a bet?"

Hitomi smiled like a flower, "No, no, no, you won't be afraid, right?" ”

"Bite the wolf, promise her!" Bob coaxed on the side, "When you become the acting head of the group, you will take us to eat and drink spicy food, and then punish the eldest sister for a week's cleaning!" ”

And all the people responded with him.

"Gan, I bet!" Biting the wolf and patting his thigh, "Commander, don't blame my little brother for not being affectionate!" ”

"Wait to sweep up the garbage!" Hitomi looked at the people who were gradually returning to their former liveliness, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and her heart was a little more settled.

But at this moment, a loud bang came from above the tunnel again.

The loud bang was even louder than before, and after the loud noise, a large amount of rubble and dust fell from the top of the tunnel, and then, from the entrance to the tunnel, the sound of rock collapse could be heard.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and Hitomi listened motionlessly, and then his face changed drastically:

"Run, this place is going to collapse!"

They ran hand and foot together towards the exit of the tunnel, and the collapse behind them quickly spread towards them like dominoes that had been toppled.

In the extreme confusion, someone tripped over a stone, and Hitomi Eun stayed at the end of the line and pulled them up, holding one person between each of his left and right arms, and finally reached the exit before the tunnel completely collapsed.

"Count the number of people!"

Hitomi Eun lay on the ground with her hands sore as if they were no longer her own, and she commanded as she took a big breath of fresh air.

"Stand still!" Bob began to line up.

Hitomi rested for a while, then stood up and began to look at the surroundings.

They seemed lucky enough to at least not have a large monster in the woods, so she decided to let everyone stand by first, while she did a good job of reconnaissance and intelligence in the vicinity.

And at this moment, Bob walked over with a solemn expression: "We have one less person, the old cat is missing." ”

One less person?

Hitomi was stunned, she had already counted the number of people before entering the tunnel last night, and if someone was missing, it could only be buried in the tunnel.

But she was in charge of the broken back in the tunnel, and she remembered it clearly, everyone ran out!

Hitomi's cold hair stood up suddenly, and he shouted, "Prepare for battle!" ”

A silver circle appeared in her eyes, and through the obscuration of the trunk and leaves, she looked around and finally found the initiator.

It was a pitch-black hyena the size of a lion, its scarlet eyes staring at Hitomi with the same indifference, and a wisp of gray saliva hanging from the corner of its mouth.

The corpse of a mercenary lay on the side, its throat torn open, and the wound showed strange signs of corrosion as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid.

Hitomi's heart sank quickly, this was not an ordinary hyena, not even an ordinary magical beast, she saw the red gem in the shape of a goose egg on the forehead of this "hyena".

In the wilderness, she had never encountered such a magical beast, but in the Inheritor Academy, she had learned about this kind of magical beast more than once.

The mentor once told her.

The monster with the "gem" on its body is the culprit who prompted human beings to unite under the pressure of survival and migrate to the foot of the World Tree together, and it is also the embodiment of evil that is now circulating in human stories-

"Demons."

A demon does not refer to a specific type of demonic beast, but rather a race, and all demonic beasts with the following characteristics are classified as demons:

They possess gem-like trait organs called "demon cores", and as long as the core is not damaged, even if the body is destroyed, the demon can recover from its injuries and finally be intact.

And the red gem on the hyena's forehead is its core.

Its scientific name is the three-headed dog of hell, and when it reaches adulthood, two heads will grow on either side of its shoulders, and it is an extremely terrifying high-level magical beast.

Each of its skulls has a core on its forehead, and as long as one of the three cores is intact, it will be able to recover from all injuries and survive.

Fortunately, this three-headed dog is still in its infancy, with only one head on its neck, and its strength is estimated to be around the third order, which is still within the acceptable range.

"Stand back, be careful of getting hurt by it!"

Hitomi held a repeating crossbow in his left hand, and took out a short knife in his right hand, blocking in front of everyone.

The Three-Headed Hellhound is able to control three different laws of power as an adult, while in its infancy it has only one head, and for the time being, it can only use the laws of darkness, and its main attack method is to corrupt opponents through wounds.

Hitomi raised her hand and shot an arrow, which was quickly dodged by the three-headed dog. Its form moved flexibly through the woods, and ordinary people could only see a black afterimage.

Then, under the cover of the dense trees, it quickly approached Hitomi and launched a fierce attack.

The shelter of the woods was nothing for Hitomi, and no matter how the three-headed dog dodged, her silver pupils remained firmly fixed on it.

The three-headed dog pounced on Hitomi Eun's original position, but her figure suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, a copper coin fell in front of the three-headed dog's eyes.

In the next moment, the copper coin triggered a violent explosion of spiritual power, and the three-headed dog bore the brunt of it, letting out a whimper under the loud noise, and Hitomi En stepped out of the shadow of the trees on the side and shot two arrows at the overwhelmed three-headed dog.

The arrow landed on the three-headed dog, which also caused an explosion, knocking it to the ground, and its flesh and blood were blurred.

Hitomi stepped forward with an arrow, holding down its skull, stabbing the short knife infused with spiritual power from top to bottom to the core.

With a "click", several cracks appeared on the surface of the core, and then the cracks quickly expanded and cracked, and the three-headed dog stiffened its body and never moved again.

Hitomi took a long breath, stood up and said, "Let's find a cave nearby where we can hide, survive today, and we will ......."

Her body stiffened suddenly.

"Commander?" Bob felt her strangeness and was a little confused.

"Flare ...... fire"

Hitomi took a deep breath, "Now, immediately, fire the flare." ”

Originally, she wasn't going to do that.

The flare allows the reinforcements to find their location faster, and it can also allow nearby monsters to notice the movement here, and it is likely that they are already surrounded by the monster herd before the reinforcements arrive.

But she now has no choice.

Just now she swept the woods again with her voyeuristic eyes, only to realize that she was surrounded.

At this moment, a three-headed dog of hell was crawling in the distant woods, slowly walking towards them step by step, and the rest of the people except her were unaware of the impending disaster.

This is a three-headed dog with an adult body, and the three heads on its neck show its strength of the sixth order strength, which is not something she can resist now.

In addition to this fully formed three-headed dog, it is also accompanied by several juvenile three-headed dogs with one head and two heads.

Although it is not a complete body, it can still be said that it is a knife to kill chickens against ordinary people.

At Hitomi's command, a flare rises through the trees. It is a special "firework" that can be set off in the air for several minutes.

This is their only hope.

And at this moment, the demons finally launched a general attack, led by the adult three-headed dog, and all the remaining three-headed dogs swooped down from the woods.

"Be careful!"

Hitomi stared at the adult three-headed hellhound and shot two arrows at a rapid pace.

The adult three-headed dog was even faster, accelerating halfway through, easily avoiding the arrows, and in the next moment it was already pounced in front of Hitomi Grace.

Hitomi reused her use of a stand-in, a copper coin took her place, followed by a close-range explosion of spiritual power.

The head on the left shoulder of the three-headed dog let out a howl, and at the same time, its whole body was quickly enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow light, condensing into a rock barrier, resisting the impact of the spiritual explosion.

The head on its right shoulder was raised in the air, spitting out a huge fireball that spewed out towards Hitomi En who was hiding behind the trees.

Hitomi rolled to the side in embarrassment, and the fireball hit the trunk of the tree, not causing the expected explosion, but sticking to the tree like maggots on the tarsal bones.

In the blink of an eye, the entire tree burned to charcoal.

In the face of an adult three-headed hell dog with the law of three systems of strength, Rao has rich combat experience, and she can only passively dodge.

And the mercenaries of the Black Flag are even more unbearable, the juvenile Hell Three-Headed Dog still has the strength of a third-order demonic beast, and there are already many people lying on the ground in just one face.

Even if it is just a bruise, it will be amplified by the corrosion of dark forces, and finally lose its combat effectiveness.

Hitomi saw it in her eyes, her heart was dripping blood, and it was just such a moment of distraction, and the adult three-headed dog of hell approached again, its front paws glowing with metallic color, and swept through an afterimage, swinging towards her.

This time there was no way to avoid it, the leather armor on her body was easily torn apart like rags, and the corrosive power of darkness and cold invaded her body like a shadow.

Hitomi fell to the ground hard, and there were bursts of burning pain from her body, and she looked up at the sky, the flare still shining in the air.

Maybe Sidney's reinforcements will arrive by tomorrow, but she can't wait.

The screams of the mercenaries were heard in their ears, and their former comrades-in-arms fell one by one, and not far away, the three-headed dog of hell slowly paced like a leisurely stroll, and its eyes showed a prey-like banter.

The intelligence of Warcraft is not inferior to that of humans, especially the "demons" that are more advanced than Warcraft.

"No, I can't die yet......"

She struggled to her feet, "It took us so long to get from the dungeon to the wilderness! So long! So long!

"Devil, you don't want to take away our home, our family ......"

Her hand gripped the knife that had fallen to the ground, and then paused slightly.

Fang Cai's attack tore through the leather armor on her body, and a tube of red potion fell out of her bosom and landed next to the dagger.

Without hesitation, Hitomi picked up the potion and poured the red liquid in the test tube into his mouth, his eyes full of madness.

"I'm going to let you pay for it with blood!"

She staggered to her feet, and the red eyes of the three-headed dog of hell were met with a pair of red eyes that had become equally cruel.
