Chapter 73: 5 minutes left, arriving at the battlefield
Even someone as composed as Phantom couldn't have missed such a loud noise. A sense of inexplicable unease welled up in her, and her mind raced to the meaning behind the sound. Could it really be someone from another faction coming to rescue them? Given their style, they shouldn't have made such a commotion.
Phantom frowned slightly, her eyes gleaming sharply. After a moment's contemplation, she slowly spoke, "You go and see what's going on. Be extremely cautious and don't be careless. The rest of you wait here and keep a close eye on the surroundings. If anything unusual happens, sound the alarm immediately."
Her words were concise and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty. Upon hearing her words, the men in black nodded in agreement. Then the man in black who was assigned to check quietly stood up and carefully moved towards the direction where the sound came from. His steps were light and steady.
[Host, hurry up and save them and escape. It's too late, or you might lose your life.]
Lin Xian'er was so frightened that she almost fell out of the tree she was hiding in. [What's wrong? What's going on?] She was timid and couldn't stand being scared.
[The Ten Thousand Year Soul Devouring Tree has come over on its own. It seems to be stuck in a realm and unable to break through. The release of the spiritual spring water has alarmed it. Host, please pay attention. We will arrive at the battlefield in five minutes.]
Hiss~ This is really fucking fatal. She didn't take the initiative to provoke the ten thousand year old soul-devouring tree. Now it doesn't follow the routine of the novel and it runs out by itself. Damn it, you immortal boss, you have lived for ten thousand years, why do you still care about this little spiritual spring water? Is it so worthless?
Although Lin Xian'er couldn't stop complaining in her heart, she still had to face it and told the other three people the news.
The other three gasped upon hearing this. The breath seemed to solidify, emitting a sharp hissing sound in the air. Their faces turned pale in an instant, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety, as if they had witnessed the impending disaster.
They all said that they must seize the time and not delay for a moment, and quickly rescue the leader from this dangerous place, and then escape immediately. If they hesitated for a moment and waited until the Ten Thousand Year Soul-Devouring Tree came, it would be bad. By then, no matter who it was, every one of them would be in danger of their lives and would all die here.
He Yun, Bao Xiaowen, Lin Xian'er, and Xie Qijun displayed astonishing decisiveness. Like a powder keg, they quickly pulled out magical treasures from their storage bags.
For example, the stilling device flashed with a faint blue light, as if it could freeze time; the smoke bomb suddenly exploded, and thick smoke immediately billowed and spread, obscuring the vision of the men in black below; the pepper spray was spicy and pungent, pouring down like a burning torrent; the sleeping pills emitted a strange smell, spreading silently downwards, and so on.
These weapons rained down upon the men in black below like a torrential downpour. For a moment, the sky seemed to be raining a strange "weapon rain," a medley of lights and smoke intertwined to create a chaotic and breathtaking scene. The men in black below were caught off guard, utterly utterly stunned by the sudden onslaught. Some froze, unable to move; others coughed profusely, their vision blurred by the thick smoke; others, irritated by the pepper spray, were left with tears streaming down their cheeks, their appearance utterly awful.
Seeing the originally quiet scene below become as chaotic as a pot of boiling water, Lin Xian'er and the other three, under the clever and secret cover of the system, were like a group of agile cheetahs, constantly moving forward towards where Zheng Yuanchang was.
During the process of moving forward, Lin Xian'er ordered the system to continuously throw out weapons, poisons, etc., without any hesitation or mercy.
No matter whether they were powerful bombs or all kinds of strange and toxic poisons, she threw them all out without hesitation. After all, she was not the one who suffered, so she dealt with them harshly.
When Lin Xian'er and the other three approached Zheng Yuanchang, He Yun instantly deactivated the magic weapon with a very skillful movement.
This magical weapon was originally a treasure made by He Yun himself. He knew its operating principle and how to remove it very well, so at this moment, he was able to remove it so quickly and accurately.
However, the moment he finished releasing it, the nearby Phantom, as if possessing some kind of magical perception, immediately noticed the subtle movement. Although her eyes couldn't directly see Lin Xian'er and the others, this didn't prevent her from launching an attack with her keen intuition and superb perception.
The incredibly powerful wind blade, seemingly carrying a deadly chill, barreled towards Lin Xian'er and the other four with lightning speed. Xie Qijun, quick-witted and swift-handed, leaped forward without hesitation upon seeing the danger. His sword instantly unsheathed, streaking through the air with a dazzling streak of light, firmly blocking the deadly attack.
The fierce collision of sword and wind blade ignited a burst of intense sparks, seemingly igniting the entire night sky. At that moment, the figures of Lin Xian'er and the other four were exposed to the black-clad man's eyes, clearly visible.
These men in black had already experienced countless battles and crises. Although they had suffered fierce attacks from various weapons and erosion from various poisons before, they seemed to have forgotten all the pain at this moment, and their eyes were only on the prey that was close at hand - Lin Xian'er and the other four.
Like nimble cheetahs, they quickly adjusted their stances, gripping their weapons once more tightly and launching wave after wave of ferocious attacks at the four men like ghosts. Each attack was fierce and imposing, as if to put the four men to death.
She was already unwilling to engage in a prolonged fight with these men in black, and now she was faced with an extremely tight time limit. The pressure that seemed to be able to penetrate the soul followed her like a shadow. Lin Xian'er clearly felt that the terrifying pressure from the Ten Thousand Year Old Soul-Devouring Tree was gradually approaching, making her heartstrings tense to the extreme.
Lin Xian'er acted decisively and opened a solid and huge protective shield at lightning speed. The shield, which was like a golden halo, instantly wrapped everyone in it, as if it had built an indestructible barrier for them, temporarily protecting them from the intrusion of the outside world.
He Yun was now supporting Zheng Yuanchang with all his might. Looking at the people from other factions around him, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of embarrassment. After all, these people were in danger, and it would be unbearable to abandon them all so easily. However, if they continued to stay, they might face even greater danger.
