Chapter 178 Devil's Sacrifice
“Take care of her and rush out after me.
Olvera handed the woman to Lan Wu, then took out his sword and shield, and launched a charge against the incoming soul hunters.
The shield with the gryphon engraved on its surface glowed with white holy light, forming a white shield that encompassed Olvera's entire body. Any soul hunter standing in front of him seemed to have been hit head-on by a heavy truck, without the slightest ability to fight back.
Ding, ding, ding... there was an endless stream of soft sounds, but other soul hunters saw that Olvera was unstoppable and did not dare to get close. They took out their hunting blow darts and attacked from a distance. Thousands of half-finger-long bone blow darts touched the thin light curtain surrounding Olvera's whole body, making a soft sound like hitting steel.
Olvera rushed all the way, and a wide avenue appeared behind him. Lan Wu threw the woman on his back with his backhand, immediately put on his sword and started accelerating. His speed suddenly increased, and before other soul hunters had time to block this avenue, he followed Olvera and fled out of the tribe.
There was a crunch under his feet. From the corner of his eye, Lan Wu caught sight of the layer of bone spurs on the ground and secretly clicked his tongue. If Olvera hadn't opened the way in front, even if he used acceleration to increase his speed, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge so many sharp bone darts. He was once again grateful that these soul hunters were demonized and became extremely prone to mania and impulsiveness. Otherwise, if dozens of soul hunters change their targets, he and the woman on his back will suffer.
"Follow me." Olvera suddenly said, immediately changed direction, and charged towards a stone house not far away. The thin light barrier on his body was already in danger, almost on the verge of collapse. Using this special skill to charge against an ordinary Paladin was really too much for him.
Soon, before the last thin layer of white light on Olvera's body disappeared, the two of them rushed into the stone house and blocked the door tightly with various stone furniture inside.
"Wait until I recover and rush out in one breath." Olvera's voice became hoarse like a broken bellows. His face was very pale, and there was no trace of blood. He was leaning against the stone wall and breathing heavily.
Lan Wu saw that Olvera was exhausted and there was nothing he could do. Olvera has all the potions he has. Obviously, the unseen charging skill just now is Olvera's life-saving means of pressing the bottom of the box and will not be interrupted.
Looking around this stone house, it is obviously the residence of the soul hunter wizard. The room seems cleaner. In the center stood an ancient totem pole, covered with a layer of shiny black dirt and exuding a faint hint of blood. There were large and small jars piled in the corner, and I didn't know what disgusting things were inside.
After a brief search and no danger was found, Lan Wu turned his attention outside again. At this time, there was a buzz outside. No need to think about it, the outside was already completely surrounded. From time to time, there were faint tinkling sounds from all directions. Those soul hunters were trying to find other entrances, rushed into the house, grabbed the three humans, and threw them all into the pot to cook and eat.
Lan Wu laughed dumbly. He believed that these soul hunters must be deeply regretful. If I had known today, I would not have built the stone house so solidly. Shaking his head, he ignored the soul hunters outside.
Teleportation, the mage's unique skill for fighting and escaping.
He vaguely remembered that Gross had taken Claudia for teleportation, but his memory was vague and he was not sure. He was torn whether he should take the risk or not. If successful, this danger will naturally be a near miss. But if it fails, Olvera alone will not be able to stop the soul hunters surrounding him from all directions. Just the poisonous bone blow dart alone is enough for him to drink a pot.
Looking out from the gap between the stone table and chairs blocking the door, Lan Wu felt his heart twitch. He saw a dozen wizards wearing feathers walking outside, followed by a large group of soul hunters carrying totem poles.
These soul wizards walked near the stone house and directed the soul hunters to erect the totem poles in a weird orientation. Soon a totem forest appeared in front of the stone house.
"What are they doing?" Lan Wu quickly asked Rodament, the technical advisor next to him. This old ghost was a member of the Horadrim clan thousands of years ago and had rich experience. After being transformed by the devil into a mummy mage, he stayed in hell for thousands of years, with countless things in his mind.
"Devil sacrifice." Rodament looked indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "This is a magic circle used by low-level demons to ask for help from the demon lords who rule them when they encounter strong enemies. It can summon demons. The lord's clone, but judging from the magic circle foundation they use, the demon lord summoned after the demon's sacrifice will not be very strong. "
Summon a clone of the demon lord?
Lan Wu's heart sank. This is Mephisto's territory. Doesn't that mean that what these soul wizards summoned might be Mephisto, the King of Hatred? It's just that these soul hunters are in some trouble, and with the addition of Mephisto's clone... it's really raining all night.
Can't wait any longer.
Lan Wu made a quick decision and immediately turned to Olvera, who was sitting by the wall and recovering: "How's it going? Have you recovered? They are planning to summon Mephisto's clone."
Olvera's face suddenly darkened and she stood up with difficulty. This is not good news. He briefly estimated, then regained his composure and nodded lightly.
"Okay, we have to retreat immediately." When Lan Wu saw Olvera nodding, he immediately changed into the giant war staff without hesitation, and put all the remaining four small amulets into the staff.
"Don't worry about me, rush out." Lan Wu put the still unconscious woman on his back again, shouted, kicked down the obstacle blocking the door, and immediately started teleporting. The two disappeared in an instant and appeared in the magic circle based on the totem pole.
This is the only place to stay. Except here, there are short soul hunters everywhere. As soon as he appeared, the dozen soul wizards were immediately scared and turned around and ran away. At this time, he took the opportunity to start teleporting again and appeared in the soul hunter queue disrupted by the soul wizard. Before those dwarfs could react, Lan Wu teleported to a relatively safe place again. In this way, he almost went through half of the tribe and finally escaped successfully. Before escaping into the jungle, he retaliated by sending a meteorite at the soul hunters who were chasing him.
The 28-level meteorite roared and fell, causing an explosion. Without waiting for the shock wave to sweep over, Lan Wu immediately carried the woman and fled into the dense jungle.
At this time, Lan Wu didn't care whether his mana could keep up, and he used teleportation again and again. Every time he teleported, he crossed hundreds or thousands of meters. In a short time, he escaped from the influence of this soul hunter tribe.
When the last bit of mana was exhausted, Lan Wu had to stop and take mana potion. At this time, a figure suddenly flashed in the jungle, and Yidaiya appeared in front of him with two injured Amazons.
"Where is he?" Yidaiya saw Lan Wu but didn't see Ovira, and her face showed a trace of anxiety.
Lan Wu looked back, and there was no movement in the dense jungle. He quickly put down the woman on his back, left a word, and teleported back immediately.
"Take good care of her, I'll go back and see."
