Chapter 394 393. Rescue
Boom——!
The supporting pillars were shattered by the impact of the exploding arrows, the wooden structure groaned under the heavy weight, the roof and walls collapsed, and smoke and dust filled the air.
The four members of Vera's team protected Patton and rushed out of the gap at a dangerous moment.
"Ahem... Well done, Feiling!" Vera brushed away the dust in front of his eyes, but the next moment, his heart sank again.
On the open space of the farm, more enemies gathered from all directions, and behind them, Gavin and others broke the fallen beams and climbed out.
There were nearly thirty people against the four of them, not to mention their employer Patton, who was a burden.
They barely found a position with their backs against the wall, protecting Patton and blocking the enemy's attack.
Vera's figure was as fast as the wind, and his scimitar drew a silver arc. Sometimes he retreated to block, and sometimes he seized the opportunity to rush forward, launching a fierce counterattack and disrupting the enemy's offensive formation.
Feiyin shrank back, and the magic shield blocked most of the incoming arrows and magic.
Xirian whispered a prayer to nature, and vines would always sprout from under the enemies' feet at the critical moment. The moment they showed a flaw, the elves would suddenly step forward and give them a small blow.
At the same time, his healing skills were also helping to treat other people, preventing excessive blood loss from minor injuries.
The one who played the greatest role was Fei Ling after drinking the Wind Whisperer's Brew.
The arrows, wrapped in a layer of light blue airflow, were shot first at several archers and mages occupying positions such as rooftops and platforms. They were either hit by the arrows or forced to jump down.
Although the four-member team cooperated seamlessly, the situation became increasingly difficult as they faced an enemy that was no less powerful and several times their size.
Suddenly, Vera caught a glimpse of an enemy who had quietly climbed over the wall at some point and fell from above, slashing Feiyin with his blade.
"Feiyin, squat down!" Vera shouted, and at the same time turned around and kicked away the attacker.
However, at the moment when he was distracted to protect Feiyin, a poisoned crossbow arrow shot out from the gap in the crowd, taking advantage of his weakness when his old strength had just been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated!
Vera only felt a pain in his right shoulder, and a feeling of numbness spread instantly, causing his movements to become fatally stiff, and the enemy closest to him would obviously not miss this opportunity.
"Vera!" Feiling exclaimed, and without any hesitation, she immediately turned the bowstring. An arrow wrapped in a gust of wind whistled towards the enemy in front of Vera, forcing the opponent to retreat in embarrassment.
However, this left Fei Ling with a huge gap.
Gavin, who had been looking for opportunities on the edge of the battlefield, finally moved.
"You don't care about yourself in order to save your companions. What a good kid! You deserve to be redeemed!" He jumped up and stabbed Fei Ling's back with the claw sword in his hand!
Fei Ling felt the deadly edge behind her, but it was too late to dodge or draw her bow, so she could only try her best to move sideways.
clang--!
【Acceleration Level 9】
[Scale Armor LV9]
【Physical Resistance LV10】
【Swimming Step LV5】
Norris's figure flashed across the battlefield like a ghost, intersecting with Gavin in an instant, and then rolled onto the wall.
Gavin didn't continue to chase, Fei Ling had already readjusted his posture, and...
He looked at the broken claw sword and squinted his eyes to examine the equipment of the man who came.
However, no matter how he looked at it, the newcomer didn't seem to be equipped with the expected shield, and the only dagger he had was just drawn out. So what on earth had blocked his attack just now?
But this is just a small problem. In just a moment, Gavin roughly judged the opponent's gold-level strength. What he really feared was the opponent's speed.
With that kind of speed and agility that even orcs can't achieve, it's impossible to stop it if it's determined to leave. In that case, they will have no choice but to evacuate here with their tails between their legs.
While Gavin was thinking about how to get rid of this variable, Norris was groping and checking the scratches on the scales of his arm while listening to the information shared by the boss in his mind:
"The boss you just fought with is level 52 diamond. He's good at close combat and has several burst skills. Don't confront him head-on. Behind the broken door on the left, there's an old bastard with a crossbow..."
The information is very useful. It would be even better if the boss could not speak at such a speed that sounds like he is chatting in a tavern...
"Useless struggle!" With Gavin's order, the attack on Vera and others became more fierce.
Vera saw Gavin's intention. While struggling to block the attacks from all sides, he shouted in the direction of Norris: "Friend! Thank you for your help! But don't come down. He wants to kill you first! Go to the city and report it quickly. Don't worry about us!"
"Then you are dead, aren't you?" Norris didn't know much about Vera. It was the first time he saw someone asking others to leave them alone at this time.
"There are too many of them! There's nothing we can do!" Virag chopped off a blow, gasping for breath. "I can't drag you down with me!"
"That's not necessarily true."
"What?" Vera was confused.
Just then…
"What is that? Aaaaaaah!"
The guy who was hiding behind the door and shooting arrows suddenly fell out, and then was quickly dragged into the house in full view of everyone. After a short scream, he fell silent.
“There are more people!”
Gavin was immediately alert, but the voice that came next made him feel relieved.
Puff——
In Mushroom City, there is no way anyone has not heard this sound.
It's no big deal, just Master Puji.
I guess it was just the puff brought by this guy who suddenly broke in.
Although gold-level Puji masters are relatively rare, it is not something out of the ordinary.
Along with the sound of footsteps, there was indeed a "puji".
One, two, three...
Looking at the dense crowds of Puji surrounding the entire farm, everyone had the same question: How many people came?
However, as the Pujis rushed over, Gavin and others soon discovered that these Pujis were almost all illusions and would shatter at the slightest touch.
"Don't be afraid! It's an illusion!"
However, before Gavin could breathe a sigh of relief, a claw blade slashed through three charging Pujis, and one of them was actually real!
Not only Gavin, but others also defeated the poisonous Puji one after another.
As the body was cut open, a reddish poison spread.
The moment they realized that there was poison, Gavin and his men covered their mouths and noses, but they were still poisoned in the first moment!
【Epidermal penetration】
After entering the Shenmu dungeon without any obstructions, Lin Jun naturally did not forget to acquire this skill.
At the same time, a hand rested on Gavin's shoulder: "The most terrifying thing is that it's hard to tell the truth from the false. You don't even understand this. Burn."
The fire engulfed Gavin, but he turned around and fought back despite the severe pain of being burned by the flames.
Along with the sound of crystal breaking, Aidin behind him slowly disappeared.
One of his men put out the fire on Gavin with a water ball and supported him: "Master Priest, what should we do?"
The situation on the scene was reversed. Although many people took the antidote in time, some of their men were also killed by Vera and Norris.
The most important thing is that Gavin himself was injured, and he knew the person who injured him!
"That was Fal's right-hand man, Aidin! We might have trouble escaping... retreat to the basement!"
Not only did Gavin retreat into the basement, but all of his men, as long as they were still alive, were dragged away as well.
Faced with the retreating enemy, Vera and others did not pursue them, as they were already at the end of their strength.
Looking at Norris, Vera thanked him sincerely: "My friend, thank you for saving my life. How should I address you since this is our first meeting?"
