Chapter 1668 Difficulty Upgrade
Tommy's reminder made everyone look at the exit again. This time, what came out was no longer humans, but the kind of half-human, half-demon monsters, and there was not just one but a group of them.
"How could the old hunters let so many low-level demons go? This is obviously beyond the scope of what we can solve."
Vincent said with some surprise.
"The old hunters should have released ordinary humans, but for some unknown reason, these humans were transformed into low-level demons."
Ripple took out his short sword with his other hand and blocked it in front of the low-level demons who came out slowly. They must not let a demon go in the place they were guarding.
"We divide the work and cooperate. Me, Vincent, and Dakar are responsible for attacking these demons and making them temporarily unconscious or incapable of fighting. Tommy and Vittoria are responsible for trapping the low-level demons that were knocked unconscious by us, and then we wait. Further instructions from Captain Damon."
"clear!"
None of the four had any objections and guarded the exit in a formation of three from the front and two from the back.
Ripple poured the thunder spirit power into the sword body, and then rushed into the group of low-level demons, rolling through like a whirlwind. Everywhere he went, there were demons slashed horizontally and vertically by him. With the thunder spirit power, he entered these demons. The bodies of the demonized people began to twitch, as if they were having an epileptic seizure, and they briefly lost their fighting ability.
At this time, Tommy and Vitoria also quickly followed Ripple's pace and tied up these half-human and half-demon things with ropes engraved with divine inscriptions.
Vincent and Dakar did not show weakness. One used a long stick and the other used a long knife. After activating the divine blessing, they used the fastest speed to knock these newly demonized low-level demons to the ground. Injuring the other party was not fatal. .
Ripple's cooperation was quite tacit, and several other teams also gradually discovered that some of the fleeing people were transforming into low-level demons. They chose to kill them immediately, and then discovered the same problem as Ripple and the others.
This left them a little helpless, and some new hunters were injured. Finally, they contacted Captain Damon.
Damon chose the same approach as Ripple, injuring and trapping these demonized humans without killing them. Maybe these people still have the possibility of recovery, and they need to be seen by a wizard to confirm.
Damon was anxious at this time because he had lost contact with his companions who were performing tasks in the inner area, but he still commanded the new hunters calmly on his face. He must stabilize these newcomers and not let the new hunters panic.
At the same time, he also sent a distress signal into the air. As long as the nearby shadow hunters saw it, they would rush to support as soon as possible. Before the support arrived, he could not go inside to explore, and he had to stabilize the situation.
At this time, Jim and Yekarina in the inner circle were also fighting hard. They were sure that they had been trapped. The demons that kept pouring out could not be killed. Moreover, they also found that those who had no time to escape were under the influence of demons. The pollution of the air was becoming demonic, which made them more and more anxious.
"Jim, something is wrong. We must break out and seek help, otherwise we will be trapped and die here."
Yekarina said to Jim behind her while killing the demon.
"I know, but how do we break through? We are now separated from our teammates. It is difficult for the two of us to leave here."
Jim said with a frown.
"Fight hard, otherwise you will have to wait for death! Haven't you noticed that not only are there more and more demons, but their levels are also getting higher and higher? I guess someone has opened the door to hell."
Yekarina boldly speculated.
"It would be even worse if this is the case. Someone must be secretly helping the devil, otherwise they would not be able to open the passage to the human world unilaterally."
Jim's reaction was quick and he could guess it with just a little thought.
Yekarina destroyed a demon that was wrapped around her leg and said fiercely:
"Who would do something so stupid and what would he gain?"
"have no idea."
Jim drew his bow and shot an arrow again, killing a monster that teleported towards them.
Suddenly there was a roar, like thunder exploding in their ears. Both of them subconsciously covered their ears, but the sound still echoed in their minds. It felt like a stick was vigorously stirring their brains. They didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain.
Yekarina fainted after not holding on for long, and Jim only lasted half a minute longer than the other party.
Before Jim closed his eyes, he saw a vague figure walking towards him. He clenched the bow in his hand and wanted to fight back, but in the end he fainted.
"My child, we finally meet."
The man wearing black clothes and black trousers with a slim shave gently touched Jim's face and bent down to pick him up.
The next second, he flashed, holding Jim and leaving his original position. There was a short sword stuck there, and it was obvious that someone had just attacked him.
Ripple didn't see the other person's face clearly, but that didn't stop her from saving Jim. She was very sure that she couldn't let the man in front of her take Jim away.
The other party obviously didn't expect that a rookie hunter actually broke into the trap he set. He turned around with Jim in his arms and looked at Ripple. The next moment, he was a little absent-minded. He seemed to have discovered something, but he was also a little unsure and asked:
"Who are you?"
"The one who hunted you, of course."
Ripple did not announce his home, but held his sword and teleported in front of the opponent and launched the first round of attacks.
The man raised his hand subconsciously, and the T-shaped stick attached to his right arm blocked Ripple's attack.
When Lianyi saw that he had not hit the opponent, he did not fight. He immediately teleported away, widening the distance between the two, and then teleported one after another to attack the man from different angles. The power of each attack would increase, but the increased Not much.
To the man, it was like scratching an itch. He had doubts in his heart, so he did not fight back, but passively accepted the attack. Five minutes later, the man made a counterattack and knocked Ripples away.
Ripple had already found the angle, and the direction she flew out was exactly where Jim was unconscious. She spun twice in the air and landed firmly next to Jim.
Under the man's gaze, he activated the awakening script on the other man's neck. Jim's body moved, and his consciousness slowly returned.
The man smiled and said:
"You are very smart. The attack just now just drew me away so that you could save your companions."
"Of course, otherwise I would have killed you as soon as I came in, so why bother?"
Lianyi raised her chin and said proudly.
"Haha! You are very good at using strategies, but you have forgotten that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless."
The man seemed to be very interested and said as if he was teasing a small animal.
"Really? Then try it."
Ripple retorted not to be outdone, and then kicked Jim who was rubbing his head at his feet:
"Are you awake? When you wake up, go and wake up Ekarina. Do you still need me, a new hunter, to protect you two?"
"Um!"
Jim responded in a low voice, and regardless of who woke him up, he shook his head, staggered two steps to Yekarina, and used the same method to wake up the person.
"Hmph! It seems I gave you too much time to breathe."
The man's face turned cold, and he disappeared into the darkness in the next moment. The demons hiding in the darkness swarmed up and pounced on the three of them. (End of chapter)
