Chapter 225 224. Demons Dance
In the cave, in front of the three people, Puji jumped out, stepped on half of the straw body of the scarecrow, and glanced around domineeringly.
Then he was caught to death by a scarecrow's claw, and his remains happened to fall on the edge of the crack, and were cut into two parts by the invisible force of space.
But this is just the beginning.
The next second, several mushroom cannons broke through the air and shot from the other side of the rift!
The straw man in front of the crack was instantly blown to pieces, turning into grass debris all over the sky.
Then, the new Puji jumped out of the crack without stopping, and after landing, it attacked the nearest straw man without hesitation!
Dense mushroom bombs poured down crazily in the narrow cave. The shock waves of the explosion made the cave walls rustle and debris kept falling.
Vera and the other two huddled in a corner, pressed against the cold rock wall. Feiyin struggled to maintain a thin shield, barely keeping the energy turbulence out.
There were quite a few straw men surrounding them, nearly thirty in total.
And now, they are being beaten up by Puji...
The Pujis on the other side of the rift rushed out, and in a blink of an eye, their number exceeded a hundred!
The small cave was filled with white, round figures. A few Puji were even pushed by their companions and stuck to the trembling surface of Feiyin's shield.
The straw man was soon submerged in the vast ocean of puffy water and disappeared.
After destroying these straw men, the Pujis all rushed out again.
"Vera...what should we do...now?" Feiyin's voice was obviously trembling. The continuous casting of spells and high tension made her mentally exhausted. The chill that seeped from the other side of the rift made her voice tremble.
"Puji won't attack us, so get out now!"
In fact, rather than saying that Puji did not attack them, it would be more accurate to say that Puji did not care about them humans at all and focused all his attention on the monsters.
Fei Ling also nodded vigorously, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "If only Puji could get rid of all those guys outside..."
However, when the three of them stepped out of the cave cautiously, the scene before them made them hold their breath.
The entire fifth floor was turned upside down!
Everywhere you look, there's a battlefield.
Puji and the straw man were fighting frantically. The "boom" sounds of the mushroom cannons firing came one after another, interspersed with the "boom" sound of Puji's self-explosion from time to time.
Not only that, in addition to the straw man, they also saw many monsters that were obviously not from the Amethyst Dungeon.
A Puji was waving its sharp tentacle blades in close combat with the straw man. Not far away, a huge shelled worm rushed in, ignoring the three Vera people who were nearby. Its huge body rushed straight towards the Puji and the straw man in the melee with the momentum to crush everything!
Relying on its own weight, it crushed both of them under its body. Then the worm retracted its neck and lay dormant in place, its huge mouthparts moving as if it was chewing the prey it had just captured.
Occasionally, there would be attacks from other scarecrows or Puji, but the hits on its shell wouldn't hurt it at all.
The trio also encountered a slime-covered reptile that hissed and sprayed corrosive venom at them, but before they could engage, the approach of several scarecrows forced the reptile to change its target and wrestle with the new threat.
The chaos was not only on the ground. Under the dome, under the fluorescent light of the mushrooms, countless bats were engaged in a fierce aerial battle with a group of large moths. From time to time, some of their figures fell or exploded on the spot, turning into debris.
The fifth floor seemed to have become a brawl ground for crazy monsters!
In this extreme chaos, a swift black shadow suddenly broke through the smoke and dust and rushed towards the three people!
Fei Ling, who had just killed a poisonous lizard with an arrow, had no time to figure out what was going on. He turned around reflexively, drew the bow, and shot the arrow!
The arrow flew past the black shadow and missed!
Vera rushed forward instantly and protected the two girls behind her.
At the critical moment, a pleasant voice said in a slightly awkward human language: "Wait! I am not a monster! Three human friends, can you tell me... where is this place?"
The smoke and dust dissipated slightly, revealing the true appearance of the black shadow.
An exquisite face with two green patterns, slender and elegant pointed ears, and a pair of deep and bright emerald green eyes that seemed to contain star fragments.
An elf!
"Where is this..." Fei Ling obviously didn't grasp the key point of the other party's question, and repeated in a daze, "Dungeon..."
Feiyin reacted immediately and added in a clear and rapid voice: "Amethyst Dungeon! The fifth floor!"
"I see!" A flash of understanding flashed in the elf's eyes, "It's the underground city controlled by you humans!"
"Now is not the time to talk! Let's go!" Vera gripped the scimitar tightly, with the blade pointed vigilantly in the direction of the ongoing melee, and warned.
"It's not convenient for me to go back, let me follow you!" As the elf spoke, his hands quickly crossed in front of his chest, forming a strange hand seal.
The emerald green magic light instantly flowed and gathered in the palm of the hand!
Not far away, tough vines broke out of the ground from under the feet of two straw men who were trying to pounce, and instantly entangled their straw bodies tightly, making them unable to move.
Druid!
Vera took a look and nodded: "Let's go!"
Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, the few of them finally managed to retreat to the entrance of the stairs.
As soon as I stepped onto the cold stone steps, a familiar figure came into view. It was the lost swordsman!
However, his teammates had disappeared, and the swordsman himself was seriously injured and unconscious, collapsing on the steps, with a dark red pool of blood beneath him, a hideous wound on his waist and abdomen still oozing blood, and his face was as pale as paper.
Beside him, there were several straw man corpses lying - the safety zone seemed to be gradually becoming ineffective.
Vera immediately reached for the healing potion from her waist, but was stopped by the elf.
Vera looked at it in confusion, only to see the elf crouching beside the swordsman. She stretched out her slender fingers and hovered just an inch above the wound. A soft and vibrant emerald green light lit up at her fingertips, stopping the bleeding wound.
The swordsman's tightly furrowed brows twitched slightly, and his heavy eyelids struggled to open a crack.
"Cough... cough..." He tried to prop himself up, but it hurt the wounds on his waist and abdomen, and cold sweat instantly covered his pale forehead.
"Don't move!" Vera half-knelt down immediately, holding his shaking shoulders firmly with one hand, and said with concern, "How do you feel?"
"...all gone...they...are all trapped in there..." The swordsman coughed violently, a trace of blood foam came out of his mouth, and he looked into the depths of the dark stairs with a gloomy look in his eyes, "I can't get out either, don't...don't waste your magic power on me..."
"What discouraging words!" Vera's voice suddenly rose. Without any hesitation, she quickly took out a dark purple potion from the leather bag at her waist and poured it into the swordsman's mouth in the astonished eyes.
"Ugh--!" The swordsman was caught off guard. The spicy and hot medicine burned his throat like magma and instantly poured into his stomach.
An indescribable violent heat burst out, sweeping across the whole body, veins popped out on the neck and forehead, the originally pale face instantly flushed abnormally, and the pupils contracted violently.
"What's this?!"
"The 'Boiling Blood Potion' that stimulates potential," Vera stared at the swordsman's reaction, "can allow you to stand up temporarily. After the effect of the potion wears off, there will be a strong backlash, but it's better than dying here!"
"Haha... cough... haha." The swordsman stared at Vera for a long time, then suddenly laughed, coughing as he laughed, "'Good man Vera'... Do you know that when people drink, they all say that sooner or later you will be caught for meddling in other people's business?"
Feeling the strength restored in his body, the swordsman stood up with Vera's help: "Vera...if...if this time...I can really get out alive, this life...will belong to you! I owe you!"
"Then you must try your best to survive, otherwise I will be at a loss." Vera said with a smile.
Fei Ling and Fei Yin had long been accustomed to Vera's way of doing things and were not surprised.
The elf's gaze lingered on Vera's back for a long time, his eyes moved slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
With the addition of a seriously injured person to the team, the marching speed inevitably slowed down.
Fortunately, the situation on the upper floors is much better than the monster brawl on the fifth floor.
The sporadic monster attacks encountered along the way were also resolved safely with the help of the elf druid's powerful natural magic.
When they saw the light of day again, they were greeted by the guards' exclamations of disbelief.
"Damn it! At this time, there are still people who can come out alive?!" A guard suddenly came to his senses and shouted to his companions, "Quick! Stretcher! There are seriously injured people here! Hurry!"
The few people who finally returned to the town saw people being evacuated...
