EBE Chapter 885 Calm down
Chapter 885 Calm down
Alan calmly ordered: "Hold your respective defense lines and don't give them the chance to break through the barrier!" He also drew his sword, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
The battle broke out instantly. The vampires pounced on them like bloodthirsty beasts. Alan swung his sword, and each slash could repel a vampire. But there were too many of them, and soon several team members were in danger.
Melina held a shield to block a vampire who tried to attack her, while Su Meier continued to use healing magic to recover the wounded. Princess Leia's arrows never missed, and every arrow she shot hit the target accurately.
At this moment, a group of particularly powerful vampire elites appeared, their movements were faster and their attack power was stronger. One of the tall vampire leaders rushed straight towards Alan at an incredible speed.
"Alan, left!" Su Mei'er reminded loudly.
Alan dodged sideways in a hurry, but the opponent's speed made him unable to avoid it. The vampire's claw almost cut his shoulder, but fortunately he blocked the fatal blow with his sword at the last moment.
"This guy is not easy to deal with!" Alan said breathlessly, then swung his sword to fight back.
However, more vampires swarmed in, making the situation more tense. Just when they were about to collapse, a strange halo suddenly appeared and a faint white smoke filled the air.
Everyone was surprised to find that a silver-haired woman slowly walked into the arena. Her appearance was so beautiful that it was almost otherworldly, and she exuded a gentle and inviolable aura. The woman raised her arm, and a ball of pure holy light condensed in her palm. With a slight wave, dozens of beams of light flew towards the vampires.
The vampires who were attacked howled miserably and began to flee in all directions. The woman was obviously a huge threat to them.
"Who are you? Why are you wandering in this desolate land?" she asked softly, her voice gentle yet full of majesty.
Alan put away his sword and answered respectfully: "My name is Alan, and we are about to carry out an important mission. Thank you for your help. May I ask your name?"
"I am Lena, the protector of this land." She said with a smile, "I can feel the justice in your hearts, and I will help you remove the obstacles on your path. Please follow me and rest under my protection tonight."
Allen and his group followed Lena through a dense forest and finally came to a hidden valley. The environment here was peaceful and tranquil, in stark contrast to the camp that was attacked by vampires before. There was a clear lake in the center of the valley, surrounded by green grass and flowers, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.
Lena waved her hand to signal everyone to rest, "It's safe here, there won't be any danger for the time being. You should take care of your injuries first."
Melina quickly helped the seriously injured Alan to sit down, her eyes full of worry. "How badly are you injured? Let me see."
Alan smiled bitterly and said softly, "Fortunately, thanks to Miss Lena's help." He undressed his clothes, revealing a deep wound with blackened edges and signs of decay.
Melina frowned and whispered, "This wound is not simple. It may be caused by some kind of toxin after being scratched by a vampire."
Su Mei'er, who was standing by, stepped forward, her hands glowing with soft white light, and tried to use magic to heal the wound. "Let me try to purify these toxins..."
After a long while, Su Mei'er put away the light, and tiny beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. "Although I can temporarily control the spread of the poison, this is not a long-term solution. We need to find an antidote as soon as possible, otherwise Alan's life may be in danger."
Hearing this, Leah asked anxiously: "Do you know where to find the antidote for this poison? We can't delay any longer."
Lena listened quietly to everyone's conversation, and waited until they finished speaking before speaking: "On this continent, there is a plant called 'Moonlight Grass' that can be used to fight against the negative effects of various dark forces, including vampire toxins. But the place where Moonlight Grass grows is very dangerous - it only exists in the deepest part of the Undead Forest and is protected by many curses."
Baruch couldn't help but interrupt: "In that case, let's set off now! No matter how great the danger is, it can't stop us from saving Alan!" Others also expressed their agreement.
Xiaohui patted Alan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, boss. We will be back soon."
Alan shook his head gently. "No, none of you can leave alone. We must face all the problems together." Although he spoke weakly, his words were full of unquestionable strength. "Besides, I can still stand now, so I won't be a burden to everyone."
Seeing Allen's determination, Lena smiled. "You are very brave. In that case, I can show you a way and give several warriors the ability to resist the curse of the forest." She waved the scepter in her hand, casting circles of light blue light on each person.
“Remember, on the way to the Forest of the Dead, you must unite and support each other no matter what; and most importantly - always believe that light will eventually defeat darkness.”
As the preparations were completed, Alan forced himself to stand up. "Okay, then let's go! Fight for the future!"
"Yes, let's go!" Everyone responded in unison, their eyes firm and full of conviction.
Night fell again, but this time it was no longer accompanied by freezing cold fog, but by the warm glow of Lena's escort that enveloped every traveler...
When the group was about to set foot on the road to the Forest of the Dead, Su Meier gently held Alan's hand and said, "No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."
"Well, thank you." Alan nodded and smiled back, with hope rekindled in his eyes.
So they embarked on a new journey that was unknown and full of challenges, with everyone holding expectations for tomorrow and confidence in victory.
"Hey, do you think there are a lot of treasures waiting for us ahead?" Xiaohui suddenly joked excitedly to the others in the team.
Aser responded: "Haha, that would be great, but right now the most important thing is to ensure everyone's safety!"
The laughter echoed through the valley, bringing a touch of warmth to this difficult journey.
The team passed through the dense woods and gradually approached the edge of the Forest of the Dead. Although the moon grass grew in a dangerous place, under Lena's protection, they could at least avoid being directly harmed by the curse. However, this forest was still full of unpredictable threats.
"This place is so gloomy," Xiaohui whispered, his voice trembling in the silence. "I always feel like there are enemy eyes everywhere."
"Are you scared?" Aser smiled and patted his shoulder, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. "Don't forget that we are experienced warriors."
"That's true," Xiaohui forced a smile. "But there is indeed a chill in my spine here."
Allen looked back at everyone. Although he was physically weak, his spirit was still firm. "Everyone, keep up. We have come this far. Victory is just around the corner."
Melina held Alan's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry and love. "No matter what, I will never leave you."
At this moment, Su Mei'er suddenly stopped and looked into the darkness in the distance. "Wait a minute..."
Everyone stopped and followed Su Mei'er's gaze, only to see something moving in the darkness. After a moment, the shadow became clearer and clearer - a group of zombies were slowly approaching them.
"These should be zombies controlled by vampires," Alan whispered, "They are more powerful than ordinary zombies."
Leah quickly drew her arrows and put them on the bow, her eyes sharp. "I'll lead the attack this time!" She shot three arrows in a row, each of which accurately hit a zombie, pinning them to death.
Xiaohui raised the dagger in his hand, "I'll help too!" He rushed forward and killed two zombies with a few swift moves.
Aser was not to be outdone, and slashed with all his might with his broadsword, each blow carrying a heavy force. "You ugly guys, look at me!"
As the battle progressed, the zombies fell one after another, but their numbers remained huge, as if there would never be an end.
Suddenly, an extremely large zombie appeared, with an ominous light flashing in its eyes, and its strength far surpassed that of ordinary zombies. "Be careful, this should be a zombie king!" Lena warned.
Allen stepped forward and fought fiercely with the corpse king while swinging his sword. Although he was in poor physical condition, he still showed extraordinary fighting ability. Every time the swords collided, fierce sparks would burst out.
Passerby A, who was watching from the side, was amazed and whispered to Passerby B beside him: "Who are they? How can they be so brave and fearless... Especially the one who was injured but still continued to fight, he is simply a legend!"
Passerby B nodded and said, "I heard that they are the warriors who came here to find the Moonlight Grass. I really admire them... Look at them, they can stick to their beliefs even in adversity, which makes us bystanders feel excited."
Just as Allen was about to kill the last corpse king, a powerful black shadow rushed out from the darkness and knocked Allen away. Everyone exclaimed when they saw this.
The shadow gradually revealed its true appearance - it was a mysterious man with a strong evil aura, his eyes were full of coldness and murderous intent. "Who allowed you to trespass into my territory?!" The man's voice was as piercing as ice, and the temperature around them dropped a lot in an instant.
Lena stepped forward and replied calmly: "We are only here to find the Moon Grass in order to save a teammate. We have no intention of invading your territory. Please have mercy on us." Her words were soft but full of majesty, which made people stand in awe.
The mysterious man narrowed his eyes and looked at the intruders carefully. "Very good, I will give you one chance. If you can find and bring back the Moonlight Grass before dawn, I can let you live; otherwise, you will bear the consequences." After saying this, he turned and disappeared into the darkness, leaving the group of people staring at each other in bewilderment...
Allen slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes regained their toughness. "It seems that we don't have much time. Are you ready to move on?"
"Of course, as long as you lead the way, we are willing to follow you to go anywhere!" The team members answered in unison, their eyes firm and confident.
Alan took a deep breath and nodded. "Thank you, everyone. It's settled then. Time is running out, and we must find the moon grass as soon as possible." His eyes revealed a hint of determination.
The team set out again, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn. Su Meier followed Alan closely, always alert to the movements around her. "Alan, how is your injury? Can you hold on?" she asked with concern.
"It's okay, I can hold on. Thank you, Mei'er." Alan smiled and continued to walk ahead. He knew that any retreat at this moment would affect the morale of the entire team.
They walked along a narrow path, surrounded by towering trees, and the sun could hardly penetrate the dense treetops. The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell, which made people feel uneasy. Xiaohui clenched the dagger in his hand and whispered: "The atmosphere here is really uncomfortable, as if even the air carries the breath of death."
Aser patted Xiaohui on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. We have been through countless battles. This little difficulty is nothing." Although he said this, a layer of sweat broke out on his palms.
At this time, a sharp cry came from deep in the woods, as if some wild beast was startled. Everyone immediately became alert and quickly formed a defensive circle. Melina pulled the bowstring tight, ready to shoot at any time. "Is that the sound of a monster?" she asked.
Lena closed her eyes, feeling the fluctuations of magic around her, and opened her eyes after a moment and said, "They should be the product of dark forces. Everyone be careful, they may be nearby."
Suddenly, a series of black figures rushed out from the woods at lightning speed. These monsters had sharp fangs and claws, and exuded a strong dark aura.
"Attack!" Allen shouted and rushed forward first. As he swung his sword, a monster fell down. However, there were so many monsters, and they kept coming from all directions.
Xiao Hui swung his sword and killed several monsters that were close to him. He gasped and shouted to Aser, "There are too many of these things. We can't kill them all!"
Aser fought hard, "Don't panic, we have Lena's help, just hold on a little longer!" His words inspired everyone and kept them calm.
Lena held the scepter and chanted a spell. The blue light enveloped each warrior, giving them more power. She said firmly: "The power of light will guide your way forward!" (End of this chapter)
