The biting cold wind carried with it sand and gravel, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Although it has not reached the level of a sandstorm, the visual range of the naked eye has been greatly reduced. At the same time, the whistling wind also covers up the sound of the camels running.

More than seventy fully armed bandits took advantage of the wind and sand to cover themselves and approached the caravan's camp at an extremely fast speed.

Thanks to the guidance of prophetic magic items, they were not affected by the harsh environment at all.

When they got close to a range of about 500 meters, they could even see camels kneeling on the ground forming a "wall" to block the wind and sand, and slaves sleeping behind the camels.

"Now! Everyone follow me!"

The leader suddenly drew out his scimitar and shouted, then urged the mount under his crotch to speed up.

Although camels are not very fast running animals, and their impact power is far less than that of war horses.

But their size is exceptionally tall, providing riders with a better view.

When more than seventy trained camels launched a collective charge, the caravan camels that were originally kneeling on the ground to rest immediately became agitated.

The slaves were awakened from their sleep and began to shout in fear.

The mercenaries in charge of night watch and route finding blew the whistles in their hands for warning.

For a moment, the entire caravan camp was in chaos.

When faced with the ferocious desert bandits, the slaves and hired civilians had no intention of resisting at all, and just kept trying to hide away.

Just when the ferocious bandits in the front were about to shoot deadly arrows, a large shadow darker than the night sky suddenly enveloped them.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, a large group of twisted figures wrapped in thick black fog rushed out and attacked the riders on the camels.

The shadow assassin, Yelnia, was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. She first targeted the leader of the bandits, leaped high into the air, and swung a sharp dagger at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, cutting a gash on the opponent's neck.

Puff! When the two sides crossed each other, scarlet blood immediately splattered and spurted out from the blood vessels.

The bandit leader fell down on the spot, covering the wound on his neck, and his face turned red and purple in just a few seconds.

I know without asking that the trachea must have been cut off and then blocked by blood, making it impossible to breathe.

In a few minutes at most, he would be suffocated to death.

Compared to this slow and painful death, other people are much more "luckier".

Most of the bandits, under the deadly "touch" of the shadow, were suddenly horrified to find that their strength suddenly decreased and their bodies began to become weaker and weaker.

After being touched a few times, he fell off the camel as if he was overworked and turned into a cold corpse.

Obviously, as "negative energy" creatures like the undead, these shadows that are like distorted shadows of humanoid creatures can cause unimaginable damage to the bodies of living creatures.

"Damn it! Can someone tell me what the hell is going on with these black, shadow-like monsters?"

A bandit shouted loudly while waving his scimitar wildly, trying to force back the nearby shadow and protect himself.

But unfortunately, the scimitar in his hand was not a magic weapon, and in the end, without exception, it went straight through the shadow's ethereal body.

Just as this young man, about 26 or 27 years old, closed his eyes in despair and waited for death, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Everyone get down! I'm going to release the [Fireball]!"

The next second...

boom!!!!!!

The blinding red flames directly swept across everything within the six-meter radius of the explosion.

More than a dozen shadows didn't have time to hide and were blown to pieces on the spot, leaving not even a trace of residue.

Many others were burned by the flying flames, or let out shrill screams of fear under the strong light.

It was obvious that the arcane spellcaster had finally taken action.

Because he knew that if he didn't take action, these idiots around him would not be able to pose any threat to so many shadows.

"withered!"

moment!

A large cloud of deathly poison filled with negative energy suddenly exploded, spreading directly around the enemy spellcaster.

More than ten bandits accidentally inhaled a little bit and immediately began bleeding from all seven orifices and couldn't stop coughing up blood from their throats.

The camels under their crotch were also badly hit and fell wailing on the cold gravel.

Upon seeing this, the shadows immediately rushed into the area covered by the poisonous cloud like crazy and began to kill the remaining enemies.

Because negative energy is like a "tonic" to them.

Not only can it heal injuries, it can also promote its own evolution and greatly improve various basic attributes.

Therefore, they would rather take the risk of being killed instantly by [Fireball] and go in and kill as many "living people" as possible.

"Ahem... Damn it! Disperse! I didn't remember the [Wind Creation Technique] today!"

The man in the black robe spat out two mouthfuls of blood, then immediately took out a bottle of medicine and drank it.

He didn't even pay attention to his seriously injured mount lying on the ground. He immediately activated a magic item, and his feet were like greased, and he quickly escaped from the poisonous cloud of the [Wither] card.

Unfortunately, before this guy could stop to catch his breath and prepare the second spell to counterattack, he saw a dazzling silver lightning flying towards him from a distance.

Snap! Along with the loud sound of lightning lashing his body, the man immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his feet flew back two or three meters from the ground, then fell heavily on the sand.

But because he had previously added what appeared to be a second-level magic spell [Resistance to Energy Damage], he did not die despite being seriously injured.

Instead, he struggled to stand up, trying to endure the pain and concentrate on chanting the spell.

But before the spell was halfway chanted, another fireball fell from the sky.

Boom!!!! Amid the blinding light and heat, the man who looked like a wizard was engulfed by the huge fireball.

When the deadly flames died down, only a charred, blackened body remained on the ground.

Needless to say, this almost seamless connection between the magic attacks all came from the cooperation between Zuo Si and Alena.

To be precise, the guy in the black robe was targeted.

As a spellcaster, Zuo Si knew very well that magic was the biggest threat in battle.

Therefore, after discovering and confirming the opponent's spellcaster, they immediately launched a ruthless siege on him, not giving him any time to chant spells at all.

With the death of the only spellcaster, the remaining bandits were naturally no match for the Shadow Legion.

Most of them were killed in just a few minutes, and the rest lost their will to fight.

Many of them saw with their own eyes that a new shadow would crawl out from the bodies of their companions killed by the shadow within a few seconds to a minute or two, and they were instantly frightened to the point of mental collapse.

The battle lasted less than six minutes from the time the enemy launched the charge to the end.

The Shadow Legion's efficient killing efficiency was fully unleashed with the assistance of the [Wither] magic card.

By the time the mercenaries had gathered and ran over with weapons in hand, everything was over.

Apart from the corpses scattered all over the ground and the negative energy lingering in the air, there was no living enemy to be seen.

Especially Zuo Si and Alena who was standing beside him, there was not even a drop of sweat on their bodies.

As for the shadows that were growing in number as the number of killings increased, they had already returned to the shadows and hid after the battle.

Zuo Si didn't want the Holy Knight Ai Luolin to see these shadows under his control.

That would lead to unnecessary quarrels and conflicts...
