“Bang!”
A human-shaped black shadow fell from a high altitude and hit the ground hard. Due to inertia, his body slid on the ground for a while, making a rough friction sound and leaving a long bloody mark on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the only priest in the team stepped forward quickly. She waved her staff, and soft light fell on the swordsman, causing his wounds to heal quickly.
The healing of the wound does not mean that the pain it brings will disappear, but the man has no intention of taking a rest.
He coughed twice and got up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Throwing the broken sword aside, he wiped the dust off his face, took out a bottle of potion from the space prop and swallowed it whole.
He quickly tidied up his equipment, and when he felt the magic power in his body recover, he took out a brand new sword and rushed into the battlefield.
The battle outside is very difficult, and it is not easy for the people inside the protective shield either.
The teammates' injuries became more and more serious and frequent. In order to have enough magic power to heal them, the priest had already eaten a stomach full of potions and pills, and the food was stuck in his throat.
The person in charge of the protective shield was almost flying sparks from his hands, and the array plates were thrown out one after another.
Zhang Bei stood in the protective shield, keeping his eyes and ears open. While analyzing the enemy's movements, he directed the actions of his team members and occasionally had to rescue people.
Gu Shi maintained the same posture as before, standing under the tree and transmitting magic power to the ancient tree.
Observing that new enemies had appeared on the west side of the battlefield, Zhang Bei was about to speak to warn the people outside, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized that something was wrong around him.
He did not hesitate and followed his intuition, blocking Gu Shi with the sword in his hand.
clang--
The next second, there was a crisp collision sound, and Zhang Bei's sword successfully blocked a black claw that appeared out of thin air.
What sharp claws!
Zhang Bei was shocked. Just one strike had already left a shallow scratch on his sword.
You know, although his sword is not a magical weapon, it was carefully crafted by a master, and the materials used are not cheap.
Looking at the sharp claw in front of him that was flashing with cold light, Zhang Bei's other hand that was not holding the sword quickly moved forward, trying to grab the demon and pull it out of the void. Unfortunately, before Zhang Bei could touch it, the enemy hid again.
Zhang Bei loudly warned the other two, "Be careful, the enemy is coming!"
The two reacted quickly. After hearing Zhang Bei's reminder, they immediately became alert to their surroundings.
Zhang Bei did not move. He held up his sword and calmly stood beside Gu Shi, silently waiting for the next attack from the enemy.
The demon that had not yet appeared did not target Zhang Bei and the other two at all. Its attention was focused on the ancient tree in the center, and even Gu Shi was just a passing mention.
However, after several sneak attacks, it failed to touch the ancient tree.
Zhang Bei's perception is very sharp. He can easily capture the changes in the surrounding air flow and successfully intercept the opponent's attack eight times out of ten.
As for the remaining two times, they were blocked by the defensive items Gu Shi carried with him.
After failing so many times, it seemed to have developed a murderous intention towards Zhang Bei, the little flea that had been obstructing it. It immediately changed its target and began to attack Zhang Bei fiercely.
And so, the two sides confronted each other.
————
Gu Shi was not quite clear about what was happening outside. Ever since he began to control the transmission of magic power, his mind had sunk deep into consciousness, and his body's external senses were forced to close.
However, Gu Shi was not completely insensitive. In this state, he could still sense the fluctuations of magic power in the outside world.
Until just now, the magical fluctuations around him were relatively stable, but now there was suddenly noise, which directly disrupted the originally neat music score.
Gu Shi understood instantly that something might have happened outside.
But even after knowing the news, he could do nothing now and could only pray silently in his heart that everything would go well for Zhang Bei and the others.
Suppressing the worries in his heart, all Gu Shi could do was try his best to speed up the flow of magic power.
Faster, faster!
Gu Shi urged desperately.
————
Inside the protective cover.
In a one-on-one situation, according to Zhang Bei's strength and experience, this enemy who had never appeared should not have caused him so much trouble.
But Zhang Bei is not fighting alone now, he has some concerns in his heart, so he is naturally a little restrained when fighting.
However, Zhang Bei, who was experienced in combat, quickly figured out a way to break the deadlock. He made a few gestures to the two people next to him, and then the three of them moved in tacit understanding.
After several more battles, Zhang Bei deliberately revealed a flaw to the enemy.
I don’t know if it didn’t see it or was confident in its own strength, but as soon as Zhang Bei hooked it, it obediently took the bait.
At the moment it appeared to attack Zhang Bei, the two people standing behind them attacked at the same time, each using their own magical powers to freeze the hidden demon in place.
Although these measures failed to control it for too long, this time was enough.
The long sword in Zhang Bei's hand emitted a dazzling light and slashed fiercely at the demon in front of him. This long-planned attack directly cut off one of its raised claws and also cut a big hole in its torso.
The demon suddenly let out a long, piercing howl.
Just when Zhang Bei was planning to pursue the enemy and kill it in one fell swoop, the demon used all his strength to break free from the restraints and disappeared into the void again.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Bei felt a little regretful, but successfully inflicting heavy damage on the enemy was already a very good result.
Zhang Bei did not linger in the fight. He retreated back to Gu Shi's side and returned to his previous state of alert.
What was strange was that in the following period of time, the demon seemed to have completely disappeared.
It did not try to continue the attack, and it was unknown whether it had gone away to heal its wounds or was hiding somewhere quietly waiting for the opportunity to strike.
…
Things turned out to be worse than they expected.
After being severely injured, the demon did leave, but it did not leave the battlefield to find a place to heal its wounds. Instead, after a brief rest, it returned with a heart of revenge.
It knew that in its current state it was impossible to kill this group of people and seize their treasures alone.
So it simply changed its strategy and began to use its own abilities to continuously bring the demons and monsters outside into the protective shield.
Even if it doesn't become the winner who seizes the treasure in the end, those little bugs who offended it will never leave here alive!
