Chapter 58: Race Against Time

Five miles.

Lan Wu took the time to look back at the overwhelming number of fallen demons behind him, and he had already estimated the distance between the two sides. According to the current speed, when they reach the five ancient stone pillars, these fallen demons will catch up. No more than one mile at most.

One mile is five hundred meters.

This is not a very long distance. Although the fallen demons are the lowest level of demon creatures, they have already obtained the mutation brought by Bishuboshu. In terms of physical strength, I am afraid that the power-type demon creatures such as giant beasts cannot compare with them. What's more terrible is that the fallen demons are best at speed.

It may take less than half a minute for these fallen demons to arrive at a distance of only one mile. In other words, to open Tristram, they only have twenty seconds, or even less time.

Cleaning up Rakanishu and those blade demons that are close relatives of the fallen demons in twenty seconds... Lan Wu has a headache. There is also time to input mana into the stone pillars. Time is too tight.

"I hope I won't be so unlucky." Lan Wu muttered softly, then loosened his grip on Kane and put Warrod down. He turned to Irene and gave a brief order: "Take them to keep running, I'll go to the front to open Tristram first."

As he said that, Lan Wu glanced at Kane. The latter understood and immediately took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll from his arms. He handed it over and explained briefly: "I have marked the order of injecting mana on it."

Lan Wu took the Enifus scroll, immediately changed to the fist sword, and started the acceleration. Kane just saw Lan Wu running far away. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered to himself, as if he was calculating something.

Without Warrod and Kane's drag, Lan Wu ran at full speed, and just as the acceleration ended, he immediately continued to open it. As soon as his endurance was exhausted, he immediately took out the physical potion and drank it.

Just like the physical potion in the game, Lan Wu never felt tired after drinking a bottle. He took advantage of the duration of the physical potion and ran towards the five stone pillars at the highest speed.

Along the way, Lan Wu ruthlessly used up two bottles of physical potions, racing against time to squeeze out more time. When he was about to reach the five stone pillars, he saw from a distance that densely packed blade demons were shuttling between the stone pillars like ants.

These blue blade demons are close relatives of the fallen demons, just as short and timid, and they also have blade demon wizards. They hold pieces of black stones and go back and forth between the stone pillars under the command of the blade demon wizards, as if they are holding a ceremony.

If it were normal, Lan Wu would have the mind to study what these blade demons wanted to do. But in this situation, he could no longer care.

After replacing the bone staff and the zombie head, Lan Wu took the lead in summoning the clay stone demon. The clay stone demon just stood up and immediately strode towards the five stone pillars under Lan Wu's command.

The outermost blade demons immediately discovered the running clay stone demons. The huge and strange body of the clay demon caused panic among them. Many blade demons screamed and threw away the stones in their arms and ran around. It was not until the clay demon approached within a few dozen meters that they waved small blades, small wooden sticks and other weapons to meet it under the intimidation of the blade demon wizards.

As soon as the two sides came into contact. Lan Wu immediately realized that these blade demons were indeed affected, and their strength was obviously reduced to a level that was almost the same as that of the fallen demons. Various rough weapons fell on the clay demons, and had almost no effect. And the clay demons could kill a fallen demon instantly with a casual blow.

Lan Wu made a quick decision and raised his hand and pointed while the blade demon wizard had not yet resurrected the blade demon. Lan Ya understood, floated away, and completed the possession.

A brand new skeleton paladin climbed up from the ground and opened the thorns at the first time. Just after opening the thorns, more than a dozen rough weapons fell on it. In an instant, more than a dozen blade demons screamed, staggered and turned to flee.

Lan Ya's fighting talent is quite good. When she saw the blade demons around her running away, she immediately swung her scepter and killed the last blade demon in one blow. Without waiting for Lan Wu to give instructions, Bruna floated over and completed the possession.

Bruna just stood up and immediately swung the bone spear to the area where the blade demons were most densely populated. The green bone spear pierced a blade demon and killed it on the spot. Then the bone spear exploded, releasing a dark green poison gas, which spread instantly and spread to a radius of about three meters.

Suddenly, four or five blade demons were poisoned and their bodies turned dark green. In just two seconds, the powerful toxin damage took their lives. At the same time, Afafu had also floated over and completed the possession.

Afafu just stood up and immediately jumped back and retreated to Lan Wu's side. She did not use any skills, but just shot arrow after arrow at the panicked blade demons.

At this time, Lan Wu had already transformed into a bear man, and crashed into the blade demons like a tank. Even if he transformed into a bear man, he could not block a few attacks against the mutated fallen demons. However, facing these blade demons whose strength was affected and reduced by at least 30%, the bear man he transformed into was like a god descending from heaven, rushing forward and invincible.

Every time he slapped down, a blade demon would scream and fall down, never to get up again. The crude weapon in the blade demon's hand hit his body, but it barely knocked off a few gray hairs, causing no damage at all.

One minute.

Lan Wu knew what was going on. He only had one minute left. If he could not dispel these blade demons and inject mana into these five ancient stone pillars within one minute, then he would not be able to help Kane and the others. Surrounded by countless hungry fallen demons, the outcome was obvious.

Fifty-five seconds.

Lan Wu killed a blade demon wizard with one palm, counted the time silently in his mind, and immediately jumped at another blade demon wizard. To deal with blade demons, it would become an unsolvable cycle if the blade demon wizards were not killed first.

Lan Wu killed the blade demon wizard with another palm, and he was anxious. There were at least fifty blade demon wizards among the thousands of blade demons, and it would be difficult to kill them all even if he was given another ten minutes. He quickly weighed the pros and cons and simply gave up his original plan. While the bear man's transformation had not yet ended, he violently knocked away the blade demon in front of him and rushed towards the five stone pillars that were at least five meters high.

Forty seconds.

Lan Wu counted the time silently in his mind and rushed into the five stone pillars. The five stone pillars were distributed within a radius of 30 meters, and a strange altar made of black stones had been arched inside. A sharp blade demon that was obviously different from others was standing beside the altar, completely ignoring the noise outside.

Lakanishu.

Lan Wu glanced at the yellow sharp blade demon lord and his heart suddenly sank. Lightning enhancement attribute... This is the most troublesome attribute enhancement. Once it hits Lakala, a deadly lightning ball will burst out and spread in all directions. In the game, he was also killed by lightning-enhanced monsters.

"I knew I wouldn't have good luck with him." Lan Wu rolled his eyes and immediately replaced the bone staff and zombie head with the ash of the root of evil. After a short change of clothes, he immediately sent a fist-sized fire bomb to Lakanishu.

Bang, the fire bomb hit Lakanishu and exploded immediately. The powerful impact directly knocked Lakanishu headfirst into the black altar, revealing only two short legs that kept shaking.

At the same time as the impact, dozens of lightning balls staggered and spread in all directions, almost sweeping the entire area inside the stone pillar. Lan Wu did not think twice and immediately turned around and rushed out of the stone pillar, aiming at Lakanishu who had just pulled out his upper body from the altar and fired another fire bomb.

His eyesight was not bad. This fire bomb accurately hit Lakanishu who had not yet reacted. In an instant, dozens of lightning balls swept away, and hundreds of pale lightning balls filled every corner of the stone pillar, with almost no gaps.

"Thirty seconds."

Lan Wu's anxiety was fully reflected on his face. The pale electric light inside the stone pillar was reflected on his face, which looked particularly hideous. He observed it briefly and immediately realized that these lightning balls had an effective range, just like in the game. After a rough estimate, he quickly came to a conclusion.

About fifteen or sixteen meters.

Lan Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was still within his effective range. Beyond this distance, he was not sure that he could accurately hit Lakanishu from such a distance.

Twenty-five seconds.

Lan Wu spent five precious seconds without any regret. He immediately fired fire bombs at Lakanishu like a string of bullets. Fist-sized fire bombs flew out from the top of the Ashes of the Root of Misfortune, hitting Lakanishu one after another.

Countless lightning bolts connected together, and the pale electric light filled the interior of the stone pillar. I am afraid that even if Lu Gaoyin's professional stepped into this death zone, he would only end up being killed on the spot.

After being hit one after another, Lakanishu was furious. It screamed and turned to pounce on Lan Wu. I thought that the blade demons under my command could deal with this human, but I didn't expect these souls to let this human come in and almost destroyed the altar that had been planned for a long time.

There was not enough time.

Lan Wu saw the short figure of Lakanishu looming in the pale lightning, and immediately had a bad idea in his mind. He had greatly underestimated Lakanishu's strength. If he couldn't kill Lakanishu in the last 25 seconds, he would have no time to help Kane and the other three.

Lan Wu immediately made a bold decision. He decisively gave up attacking Lakanishu, quickly took out the Enifus scroll from the space bag, and roughly scanned it. Then he completely ignored the long history of the scroll and rushed to the southeast, which was the nearest stone pillar.

The blade demons who reacted knew that they almost missed the lord's important event, and they rushed forward one after another, swinging various crude weapons to hit the hateful human in front of them.

Twenty seconds.

Lan Wu counted silently in his heart and immediately turned into a bear man. He relied on the strong life he gained from transforming into a bear man to resist the attack of the blade demon and stubbornly rushed to the side of the stone pillar. He raised his hand and pressed the stone pillar, and poured mana into it according to the instructions on the scroll.

Soon, a circle of complex runes appeared on the stone pillar. These runes flashed blue light, as if they were struggling to break away from the stone pillar. But Lan Wu was in no mood to appreciate this rare scene.

The mana infusion was completed.

Fifteen seconds... Lan Wu pushed his potential to the limit, rushed to another stone pillar on the right in just five seconds, and quickly completed the infusion of mana.

Ten seconds... The pale lightning in the stone pillar had long disappeared, and Lan Wu violently pushed away the screaming Lakanishu who blocked his way, and quickly poured mana into the third stone pillar.

Five seconds... Blue runes also appeared on the fourth stone pillar.

Lan Wu silently ended the countdown, raised his hand and pressed the last stone pillar. Soon blue runes appeared on the stone pillar. In an instant, the runes on the five stone pillars glowed brightly. Five blood-colored light beams shot out from the five stone pillars and fell in the middle.

With a loud bang, a blood-colored portal suddenly appeared in the open space in the middle.
