EBE Chapter 884 Distraction
Chapter 884 Distraction
Taking advantage of the opponent's distraction, Alan led the team to launch the final attack. The collision between the power of light and the power of darkness made a huge earth-shaking sound, and the entire temple was shaking. After a moment, everything returned to calm again after a strong light flashed. When people's vision became clear again, they found that all the monsters summoned from the other dimension had disappeared, and Carlos was also missing - obviously the result of a hasty escape.
Leah clapped her hands and said with satisfaction: "Well done! I didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene. But don't be too happy too soon, this time we only temporarily stopped his action."
Alan responded seriously, "You are right. We must get to the bottom of this and make sure no one else falls victim to darkness."
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of a brief victory, a scout came running to report: "Oh no! According to reliable intelligence, traces of Carlos' men have been found on the western border again..."
Allen held the sword tightly in his hand, looking firmly at the horizon in the distance. Princess Leah's advice was undoubtedly correct - they must go to the western border as soon as possible to prevent Carlos from doing evil again. "Get ready to go, every moment of delay may bring more danger!" He said to his companions beside him.
Su Mei'er nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of fatigue but determination, "We must make sure to defeat them completely this time." Xiaohui and Melina exchanged glances with each other. Despite facing the uncertainty and danger of the future, they also showed their brave side.
After a short rest, at nightfall, this group of brave warriors rode their horses westward. Under the moonlight, their figures looked particularly tall.
When they reached the foot of a mountain, a group of shadows suddenly appeared in front of them and approached quickly. "Enemy! Get ready for battle!" Aser shouted loudly. Almost at the same time, those shadow warriors attacked Allen and others from all directions, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
In such a melee, both personal skills and teamwork are crucial. Xiaohui flexibly shuttled around every corner, cleverly using the terrain to create attack opportunities for himself; Melina held a shield and tightly protected the injured and slightly weak Su Meier behind her, not allowing the opponent to break through the defense line; on the other side, Aser and Allen faced the enemy head-on, constantly reducing the number of enemies with their extraordinary martial arts.
"Princess Leia, please protect yourself." Alan anxiously ordered when he saw a shadow assassin trying to approach the princess not far away. "Leave it to me." The only response he got was a blue arrow that accurately hit the opponent's chest. With a muffled groan, the attacker fell to the ground and was no longer able to move.
Just when everyone was about to win this arduous battle, a new group of opponents emerged from the depths of the jungle to join the melee, and the situation immediately became extremely tense. However, at this moment, a strange but friendly voice sounded: "Are you from the city in the east? Do you need help?"
Looking up, I saw a group of savages with strange clothes and rough faces gathered around to observe the situation. One of the men who looked like the leader asked, "I am the king of this territory, Baruch. It seems that you are chasing the dark forces, right?"
"That's right!" Leah immediately responded and briefly introduced the current situation and the threat posed by Carlos.
Hearing this, the human king named Baruch looked thoughtful, and then said solemnly: "Then please allow us to join the fight against evil. Although our numbers are small, our strength is definitely strong enough."
With this new force, the originally stalemate situation was reversed instantly. With the help of the strong physical strength and fierce fighting style of the wildlings, the remaining shadow warriors were subdued or even eliminated one after another. When the dust settled, there were no major losses except for a few minor injuries.
"Thank you so much." Su Mei'er expressed her gratitude with a smile.
"You're welcome." Baruch laughed heartily, and then added seriously, "In fact, I heard that there were criminals operating in this area before, and I was looking for clues to eliminate them. I didn't expect to meet you. If it's convenient, how about we go together? Maybe I can provide you with a little help."
"It's our honor." Allen answered on behalf of everyone.
As a result, the group became larger and more diverse. They still encountered many obstacles and challenges along the way, but with their own strengths and good cooperation, they were able to overcome the difficulties one by one. Until a few days later, they arrived at the edge of a small town on the western border...
As night fell, the campfire was filled with all kinds of faces, everyone sharing stories or planning for tomorrow.
"Let's set off tomorrow morning to investigate the location mentioned in the intelligence," Allen suggested. "Based on the information we have so far, we can tell if there are any important clues hidden there."
"Yeah, I think so too." Princess Yun Ge agreed, "But..." "What's wrong?" Melina asked curiously.
The princess hesitated for a moment before continuing slowly, "I just feel that this operation will not be so simple and smooth." "No matter what, as long as we work together, there is nothing we can't solve!" The optimistic Xiaohui interrupted. Everyone laughed out loud, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
On the other side of the camp, Baruch was talking to his men about how to assist these foreign friends. "No matter what happens, you must do your best."
The next morning, the group woke up in the first rays of sunshine and got ready. Su Meier used magic to heal the soldiers who were slightly injured last night, so that they could continue to move forward in the best condition. Alan stood at the head of the team, the long sword in his hand reflecting the morning light, and his firm eyes swept over each teammate. "Let's go!" With his order, the whole team quickly and orderly left the camp and headed deep into the western frontier.
After passing through a dense forest, a narrow and winding mountain road appeared in front of us. The surrounding mountain walls were steep and there was only one path to pass through. As everyone was walking along the mountain road, suddenly, a piercing scream pierced the sky. Then, hundreds of dark creatures poured down from the cliff like a tide, densely covering both sides of the road.
"Everyone be careful! Get ready for battle!" Alan immediately drew his weapon and stood in front. The shadow creatures swarmed in, their sharp claws and sharp teeth were daunting. Alan rushed towards the nearest group of enemies with a long sword in hand, and each swing could chop down several dark creatures. But soon, he also felt that his physical strength was too much, after all, there were too many enemies.
At the same time, Melina and Su Mei'er worked closely together, using shields and healing skills to provide solid support for the team; Princess Leia relied on the bow and arrow in her hand to shoot the opponent from a long distance; Aser and Xiaohui were flexible and maneuverable, launching counterattacks on the flanks to try to distract the enemy's attention.
The battle was extremely fierce. At this moment, a group of more powerful demons appeared. They were tall and emitting blue flames. One of the demons, which was particularly large, attacked Allen directly. "Alan, watch out behind you!" Xiaohui warned loudly. Unfortunately, it was too late. The demon raised the giant hammer and smashed it to the ground. The strong vibration made Allen's feet shake. The moment he was hit, he flew more than ten meters away...
Baruch and his men rushed to help. Their rough appearance concealed unparalleled strength. Baruch swung a huge stone axe, and each time it fell, it was as powerful as thunder. Together with the wild warriors around him, they withstood the pressure of this group of powerful enemies. However, even so, the situation was still very critical.
Alan, who was lying on the ground, struggled to stand up, and his armor was stained with blood. But he did not give up, but instead aroused a stronger will. "I can't fall down... We still have to complete our mission." He gritted his teeth and tried to hold the weapon in his hand again.
Xiao Hui on the other side saw that the situation was not good, and hurried to Allen to try to help. "Brother! Let's go, it's too dangerous here, we need to evacuate to a safe place immediately!"
Allen nodded with difficulty. "Okay, let's retreat first...but don't leave anyone alone. Everyone, make sure to cover each other!"
Everyone began to slowly retreat while resisting the tide-like attacks. Every step was so difficult and long. Suddenly, a familiar and warm breath enveloped the entire area - Su Meier finally found the right angle to cast a large group recovery spell, temporarily alleviating the crisis of the injured team members. This gave the team a precious time window, allowing everyone to reorganize the formation and find a breakthrough point.
"Follow me! Go in this direction!" Alan stood up despite the pain and directed the team to move to a more open area. Although every step was painful, his eyes were shining with determination.
As everyone gradually escaped from danger, the pursuers behind them seemed to be blocked by some unknown force and could no longer follow them. So after taking a short breath, everyone started a new journey. However, the atmosphere became obviously heavier this time...
"What should we do next?" Melina looked at Alan's pale face with concern and asked, "You don't look right." Alan smiled bitterly and didn't answer the question directly. He just said, "The most important thing now is to find Carlos's location as soon as possible and stop his conspiracy. We have to persevere no matter what."
Xiaohui gently patted his companion's shoulder to show encouragement, and the others nodded silently. Despite facing unprecedented challenges, this group of brave companions still stick together and face the difficulties...
In this way, the group continued to move towards their goal, and finally set up camp in a hidden valley when night fell. While sitting around the campfire and enjoying a simple meal, everyone was also discussing how to better deal with more problems that might be faced. "I'll have to trouble you to check the surrounding environment for potential risks tomorrow morning." Allen whispered to Leah. "Leave it to me," the princess replied with a smile, "You should also take a rest. We can continue the battle after you recover."
As soon as the words fell, a cold wind blew through the valley, making everyone shiver. There seemed to be a strange smell in the air...
"This wind is so strange. Everyone should stay alert tonight and don't fall asleep easily." After saying this, Allen lay down, but his eyes were still half open to observe the surroundings. The other members also raised their vigilance in case of any accidents.
As the night deepened, the entire camp was very quiet except for the light patrolling footsteps of the guards. However, no one knew that in the dark corner not far away, a pair of cunning eyes were secretly watching everything here...
"It looks like we can only end here today." Leah sighed and looked at Alan who was sitting next to her. "I hope everything goes well tomorrow."
As soon as Leah finished speaking, a thick fog suddenly filled the camp. This fog was unusual. It was not only freezing cold, but also suffocating. Everyone instinctively became alert and tightened their weapons.
"What's going on? Why is the fog so strange?" Melina asked puzzled.
Alan slowly stood up and looked around, his eyes becoming extremely serious. "This is not ordinary fog, everyone be careful." He whispered.
Before he finished speaking, a shrill howl broke through the night sky and came from afar. Then, several black shadows flashed past everyone's eyes like lightning, so fast that people could hardly see their figures clearly. One of the black shadows paused in mid-air for a moment, revealing a pale, cold face and sharp eyes.
"Vampire!" Melina whispered.
These mysterious and dangerous creatures were obviously summoned by some kind of power. Their target seemed to be this team. One of the vampires looked at everyone coldly with an evil smile, "You stupid humans, how dare you invade our territory."
Su Mei'er quickly cast a defensive spell and set up a barrier around the camp. "Everyone come closer, don't let them get close to us easily!" she shouted.
Baruch roared with a huge axe in hand and strode forward: "Don't think that a few vampires can make us retreat!"
Xiaohui and Aser reacted quickly and stood on both sides of Allen, ready for battle. "It looks like another fierce battle is inevitable this time." Xiaohui said in a relaxed but firm tone.
At this time, the leading vampire screamed, and dozens of more agile vampires emerged from all around and surrounded them. The eyes of these vampires were full of madness and bloodlust, and each pair of eyes seemed to be able to devour a person's soul. (End of this chapter)
