"Don't just stand there, the door's about to close, hurry up and bring your brother back!"
After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he drew his sword and ran to the city gate. With a 'smack', he slammed his hand on the gate and raised his other hand, pointing the tip of his sword at two soldiers.
The very next second after Sui Feng and the others entered, Xiao Jin, who was standing at the city gate, suddenly saw the two soldiers on guard move.
They walked to the city gate, placed their hands on the gate, and made a pushing motion.
Xiao Jin frowned, a bad feeling suddenly rising in her heart, so she decided to intervene.
Sui Ying naturally saw it too. Knowing that now was not the time to delay, she moved her feet and rushed out instantly.
"Hang in there, I'll be right back."
Upon noticing Xiao Jin's movement, two soldiers clad in iron armor slowly raised their heads, a flash of red light in the corners of their eyes, and they both raised their spears.
Xiao Jin did not retreat an inch. The next second, the blade of the Shattered Shadow slammed into the cold shaft of the spear with an almost brutal speed. The clanging sound of metal clashing instantly exploded in the narrow space and echoed endlessly.
Amidst the sparks flying, Xiao Jin felt a tremendous force travel along the blade, and her wrist went numb.
Xiao Jin's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked at the two soldiers opposite him with great surprise.
Those two guys are really strong. If that blow had landed on an ordinary player, their arm would probably have been broken.
Xiao Jin quickly adjusted her posture. No matter what, the two of them were still a bit too much for her to get past them to close the city gate!
The two soldiers, clad in heavy armor, moved with perfect coordination. The tips of their spears, like the forked tongues of venomous snakes, were both agile and deadly, constantly shifting their angles in an attempt to pierce Xiao Jin's body.
Each swing of the spear was accompanied by a whistling sound as the air was torn apart, sending chills down one's spine.
Xiao Jin stood in front of the door, her blade flashing like lightning. Although she was fighting two against one, she was not at a disadvantage. However, she couldn't kill her opponent in a short time.
The shattered shadow could only leave very shallow marks on the opponent's armor. As for wounds, each time the blade sliced through the opponent's skin, it would miss its mark and pass through the black mist.
Therefore, all Xiao Jin can do now is stall for time.
On the other side, Sui Ying used all the props. Halfway there, she even turned back to look at the city gate and saw Xiao Jin entangled with the two soldiers. Her heart skipped a beat.
Gritting his teeth, he continued to accelerate and finally arrived at Sui Feng's side, who was lying on the ground severely injured.
Her heart pounded like a drum, her knees were on the hard ground, and her hands trembled as she reached out to Sui Feng.
"Brother? How are you?"
Sui Ying's eyes were filled with tears, but she carefully turned Sui Feng over.
Immediately, Sui Feng's face turned pale, and a very long bayonet was stuck in his chest, the tip of which had sunk into his back, with large patches of blood soaking through his clothes.
At that moment, a flash of anger crossed Sui Ying's eyes: "Bastard!"
After scolding Sui Ying, she quickly took out a nano-therapy needle and inserted it into Sui Feng's vein, while simultaneously gripping the knife handle tightly.
The knife needs to be pulled out quickly, otherwise the wound will heal and the knife will be impossible to remove!
Just as Sui Ying was about to draw her sword, a series of faint, fragmented sounds mingled in her ears, like the whispers of ghosts, echoing in the empty underground city.
She suddenly looked up, her eyes blazing.
Just then, an inexplicable tremor surged from the depths of the earth, as if the surrounding space was being kneaded by an invisible giant hand. The mountain walls rumbled loudly, and dust and gravel flew everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded before Sui Ying's eyes.
A large number of skeletons emerged from the crumbling stone wall. Their white bones glowed with an eerie blue light in the dim light, like ghosts returning from hell, carrying endless resentment and the aura of death.
The skulls' eye sockets flickered with eerie green flames. From above, the entire dungeon seemed to be shrouded in a thick black mist, within which countless skulls surged, like an endless sea of death slowly enveloping the dungeon.
Sui Ying was stunned for only a moment, and the next second her hand suddenly rose up.
"Cough cough cough~" Sui Feng's body twitched, as if he had been awakened by the pain. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he lay back down.
"Sorry, brother, time is tight, so please make do for now!" After saying that, Sui Ying lifted Sui Feng's arm and hoisted him onto her shoulder.
The two players who emerged from the stone platform had long since vanished.
On the other side, Xiao Jin was entangled with two soldiers, but he also noticed the skeleton army in the distance.
Only then did she understand why the soldiers had closed the city gates. It turned out that at some point, these skeletons would emerge from the stone walls, attempting to enter the underground city.
Xiao Jin glanced at the panel; it was 18:02. If he hadn't stopped the soldiers from acting, the city gates would probably be closed by now.
Sui Ying was well aware of this, so she lifted Sui Feng up with all her might and rushed towards the city gate.
The first to arrive were the two players who had entered through the checkpoint. One of them didn't even glance at Xiao Jin, who was entangled with the soldiers, and rushed into the city.
Another player, while running past, suddenly stopped. He looked at Xiao Jin, gritted his teeth, and turned back.
"Dude, I'll help you!"
After saying that, the man pulled out a long sword and tried to restrain one of the soldiers.
'Clang!'
"Holy crap! That's ruthless!"
Yang Sheng ducked under the spear, the tip of which struck the city wall beside him, and shards of stone shattered and hit his nose.
You don't know until you fight! When Yang Sheng faced the soldiers, he realized just how formidable Xiao Jin was!
Damn, how did she manage to hold out for so long against such a monster?
Fortunately, Sui Ying had already arrived with her people.
Yang Sheng also realized that he seemed a bit superfluous, so he simply stepped aside and helped carry Sui Feng.
"Thanks!" Sui Ying looked up and then they entered the city.
Sui Ying shouted, "Come in quickly!"
Xiao Jin swung her long sword, knocking two soldiers away. Taking advantage of the opening, she turned and rushed into the city gate.
After Xiao Jin entered the underground city, the two soldiers seemed to have lost their target, slowly retracting their spears and dimming the light in their eyes.
They then proceeded forward and closed the gate.
This action, however, blocked the advancing army of skeletons.
………………
"Phew~" Yang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he made it in time!
Sui Ying put Sui Feng on the ground and looked down to examine his chest. Fortunately, it had mostly healed, but why hadn't her brother woken up yet?
No matter how severe their injuries were, they would recover quickly after using the nanotherapy needles.
"Brother? Brother? It's me, Ying! Don't scare me!"
