Chapter 1670: Renewed Waves
The sudden retreat of the demons surprised the besieged shadow hunters for a moment, but no one relaxed their vigilance. This was a habit they had developed by fighting demons for a long time.
These demons are cunning and insidious. After suffering several losses, they have figured out the tricks of these demons, so at this time all the hunters still maintain their original fighting formation. The seriously injured companions are in the inner circle, and those who are less injured can persist. The hunters are on alert in the second circle, ready to replace their peripheral companions at any time. The hunters on the outermost periphery are the ones who still have combat effectiveness and are the ones with the least injuries.
As soon as the three people passed by, Ripple stood on the outside. Ripple joined halfway. Although Jim and Yekarina had spent a lot just now, apart from being knocked unconscious, they were not seriously injured. Only Jim cut his palm. , but they have all healed now, so they are currently relatively strong in combat effectiveness.
"Jim, why did you and Ekarina fall behind? Why did you get the new hunter involved?"
asked Mork, the leader of this mission.
Jim immediately walked up to Mok and whispered what happened to him and Ekarina. Mok's eyes darkened after hearing this. He did not blame Jim, but just nodded and said:
"We'll wait until we get back to the headquarters. I think these demons are being manipulated, and the target is probably you and Ekarina."
Jim nodded. He also agreed with Mock's guess. Otherwise, according to the habits of those devils, the first time they catch the hunters is to eliminate them instead of taking them away.
"Captain Mock, I think they may have other purposes, such as threatening the hunter organization with our lives."
That was the most likely reason Jim could guess.
"The possibility you mentioned is very high."
Mork also believed that these demons would not kidnap hunters for no reason.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Mork turned to look at Ripple. Ripple knew it was his turn, so he stepped forward and told what was happening outside, including the demonized humans, and Captain Damon's orders in a voice that all hunters could hear.
Mok knew that Ripple was not lying, and there were demonized humans at the scene, but they were held back by the demons, so they had no time to stop them.
When they contacted Damon on the outside, they found that they couldn't contact him at all. Based on Jim's story, he was sure that they were isolated when they entered here. This was obviously a trap.
Mock's brows furrowed tightly and he continued to ask:
"The fact that you can come in means that the situation on the outside is under control."
"Yes, Captain Mork, all the demonized people have been caught. Captain Damon has called for backup because he can't contact you and is afraid that you are in danger.
Because I have the blessing of super-sensory divine texts, I came in alone to investigate, find a way to get in touch with you, and inform you of the situation outside.
I just didn't expect that I would encounter Jim and Ekarina trapped as soon as I came in. After rescuing them, the three of us broke out together and found you. "
Ripple didn't say much about the details of the breakout. She always felt that Jim's blood could break through the space barrier and there must be some hidden secret, so she decided to say less and make less mistakes.
"Well, you did great!"
Mok had also heard of Ripple. It only took three months for this girl to become a shadow hunter from an ordinary person. This could no longer be described as a genius.
Moreover, he had also heard about Master Philot's special case of inscribing an extra divine inscription on her. It could be said that they had enough confidence to do so, so he focused on affirmation and encouragement. These new hunters are their successors. .
At this time, someone came to Mock and said:
"Captain, there are several people who are seriously injured, and the self-healing script has limited effect. We must return to the headquarters as soon as possible to receive treatment from therapists."
"I understand, let everyone know to prepare to leave here. No matter what, we can't lose any more people."
"Yes, Captain!"
After the order was given, everyone clenched their weapons again, and then slowly evacuated the abandoned building in accordance with the combat formation.
The evacuation went smoothly this time, and there were no demons blocking the way or sneak attacks during the process. This made both Mok and Ripple frown.
Ripple always felt that things were not that simple. She interrupted Jim's fate of being taken away, but the man and the demon retreated too simply, and the hunters also retreated too smoothly, which was not like the way these demons did things.
In any case, when all the old hunters evacuated the abandoned building, Damon and the hunters who came to support breathed a sigh of relief. Ripple was directly surrounded by his teammates.
"Lianyi, are you okay?"
"Are you injured?"
"Lianyi, have you encountered a demon?"
"Don't ask questions all over the place. Let Ripple answer whose question first. Let Ripple take a breath before talking to us."
Vitoria shouted to stop her companion's questions, and looked straight at Ripple with her bright eyes, waiting for Ripple to speak.
Lianyi laughed, cleared her throat and said:
"I was okay. I was not injured except for some loss of strength. I encountered many low-level demons inside, as well as some intermediate demons. However, it was usually the old hunters who dealt with them. I was responsible for last-ditch attacks. It was an eye-opener."
"you are awesome!"
Vincent praised sincerely.
"Fortunately, let's go gather first and I'll tell you in detail on the way back."
Ripple saw that Damon had started to call them newbies to gather, and immediately said to his teammates.
The teammates also heard it and immediately went to gather with Ripple.
At this time, because of the arrival of the supporting hunters, the demonized humans had been sent to a container truck engraved with divine texts, which was obviously to transport these demonized people back to the headquarters.
The rest was to count the number of people and treat the seriously injured hunters. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. The scene was not messy at all. After sending the captured demonized people, the new hunters got on the car first and were the first to go back to the headquarters.
Lianyi estimated that the old hunters must have surveyed the scene to see what went wrong.
Along the way, everyone in the car talked in a low voice, obviously not out of the excitement of the first mission. Lianyi also picked up the parts that could be said and told them some of the situations inside the mission.
Just as they were about to arrive at the headquarters, the car they were riding in suddenly braked sharply, and everyone's body rushed forward a lot. Fortunately, no one was sent out by inertia.
"What happened?"
Vincent asked, pulling open the small partition connecting the driver's seat.
The driver pointed to the front and said:
"There's something wrong with the headquarters!"
Vincent looked through the small partition to the front where the headquarters was located. The headquarters was exposed to everyone's sight, and a corner of the headquarters was engulfed in flames.
The headquarters is protected by a magic circle and is usually hidden. It will not appear in front of people. Only hunters can find the entrance and only hunters can enter. However, looking at the burning hunter headquarters, it is obvious that something has happened.
"What should I do?"
My dears, it's the end of the month, and Feng Ling is shamelessly asking for collections, subscriptions, recommendations, praise, rewards and monthly tickets. The more the better. Feng Ling also has to live. Thank you for your support.
