Cai Long and Blas were hiding behind a door. Twenty meters in front of them was a strange stone placed in the hall. Although the distance of twenty meters was short, it was a life-or-death situation for the two of them. The stone was facing the door of the library. A temple warrior was guarding the door. If they approached the stone, they would be discovered by him.
Cai Long saw people running back and forth outside the barrier all the way here. He knew that Chen Hansheng should have mobilized the team at this moment and was waiting for the barrier to dissipate and attack inside. So what would happen next actually depended on him.
He looked at the time on his watch. Sixteen minutes had passed since he left the reading room. Time was really running out. The ticking second hand was like a countdown to his death, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet, tightly enveloping his body and mind.
He looked back at Bras, whose face was pale and his lips trembled slightly. Cai Long knew that he was like his own mirror and he must look like this too.
"Sir, I'm ready," Brass said softly. "One person will distract the enemy, and one person will destroy the rocks. Either go left or right, as easy as plowing the field."
Cai Long was silent for five seconds, then whispered, "I have a gun. I'll lead that man away. You go and destroy the rocks."
"But I don't know how. I'll just go ..."
"I don't know either, so use all the methods you can think of. But remember, there may be something wrong with the stone, so be careful. As for the warrior, I have a gun, so my chances are a little better than yours." Cai Long stood up, and he suddenly turned around and said to Brass, "Now, do I look a little handsome?"
Brass shook his head with difficulty and said, "I don't want to lie to you at this time."
Cai Long actually laughed silently: "How can I play the lute to a cow in front of a middle-aged uncle?"
Brass continued to crouch in the corner with the fire extinguisher in his hand. He held the fire extinguisher very tightly, and veins on his arms and hands were exposed. Although he did not move, sweat covered his forehead. He did not know whether the anxiety in his heart was because of Cai Long or himself.
Soon, he heard gunshots and shouts. He kicked his legs and ran out, but his tense muscles made his movements deformed. He fell on the marble floor before he ran two steps. The fire extinguisher hit the ground with a clang and rolled out. Brass endured the severe pain in his knees and elbows, crawled and caught up with the fire extinguisher, and limped towards the rocks.
Blass had to walk and run countless twenty meters every day, but the twenty meters in front of him seemed to be the longest distance he had ever run in his life. In such a short distance, he felt anxiety many times, felt his heartbeat many times, and heard many gunshots.
Finally, it was a square gray-white stone with complex patterns on it that shone with a light blue light. Brad didn't have time to think about it and reached out to grab the stone. But before his fingers touched the stone, he felt a sharp burning sensation at his fingertips. He screamed in pain. Sure enough, this thing was not easy to deal with, just as Cai Long had guessed.
He immediately opened the fire extinguisher and sprayed the dry powder on the stone. After a burst of white mist, there was nothing on the stone. All the powder sprayed on was pushed to the side by a repulsive force.
This doesn’t work
Brass raised the fire extinguisher to hit the stone, but the fire extinguisher was only a palm's distance away from the stone and could not move any further.
He now understood a little bit that there was an invisible layer of protection outside the stone. This layer of protection was very hot, impossible to touch, and would bounce everything away. What should he do
Gunshots were heard sporadically. As a good hunter, Brass could tell that Cai Long was running non-stop, but the area inside the barrier was so small, how long could he stay around
I have to find something to cover him. He looked around, and the hall was empty, not even a cabinet. Just as he was worried, he suddenly found that Chen Hansheng and Ka Ladi were already standing at the light curtain not far away. Chen Hansheng anxiously picked up his clothes with his hands, still saying something.
Blas looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant. Chen Hansheng stamped his feet, pulled open his shirt, and made a gesture of covering the ground with it in his hands.
This time Brass finally understood. He quickly took off his training uniform and slammed it over the stone, leaving a bulge the size of a small stool on his clothes.
——————————
Cai Long ran and shot at the same time. The three temple warriors were chasing him closely. Fortunately, the complex terrain of the library gave him some space to move. If he were on flat ground, he would have died countless times in front of these "supermen" with fighting spirit.
Although his life and death were at stake, he felt a sense of satisfaction at the moment. He shot a priest in the head during a sneak attack, driving the enemy completely crazy.
His body was almost at its limit, and his steps were already becoming unsteady. He was just trying his best to hold them back for a second longer.
There is one last bullet. Should I keep it for myself or for the enemy
This question flashed through his mind for only a moment, and the answer came immediately.
Of course, he left it to the enemy. These damn guys killed every brother in his team. Four months is just a moment in life, but it is enough to deeply engrave the word "comrade" in his heart. When the bullets are used up, there are still daggers. When the dagger is broken, there are still teeth. Cai Long suddenly had an understanding of the choices of those martyrs. It turns out that when the time comes, everything is so natural.
The warriors finally forced him into a dead end. Cai Long turned around, raised his gun, and actually smiled brightly.
———————————
Quick, quick, quick! There has been no new gunshots for a while. If it drags on... Brass looked up at the light curtain anxiously.
Gradually, the light curtain in front of my eyes began to shake, as if a hand was pulling it, shaking faster and faster, and the light curtain became uneven in thickness. After shaking for dozens of times, with a slight sound, a circular crack appeared at the thinnest part of the light curtain. It slowly began to grow larger.
"I'm coming!" Bras heard Kalanda's shout. The light curtain finally broke.
Before the hole could expand to the ground, Kalanda held the sword in both hands, placed it in front of her head, and jumped up, like jumping through a circle, to pass through the hole. However, just as her shoulder passed through the hole, the hole suddenly became smaller, and Kalanda was stuck on the light curtain from the abdomen.
She burned her fighting spirit with all her might and struggled to squeeze herself in, but the light curtain became tighter and tighter, until finally a palm-thick barrier formed a circle around her abdomen, no longer shrinking and no longer pressing on her body, but making her almost unable to move.
Chen Hansheng and others outside tried to pull her body up in a panic, but because her waist was the thinnest part of her body, she could neither move forward nor backward.
Bras looked in the direction of the stone and saw that the high temperature around the stone had melted the synthetic fiber training uniform, and the pattern on the stone was revealed again.
Kalanda also noticed this, and she hurriedly said, "Help me take off the chain mail. Use that to cover it."
But when Kebras ran over to take a look, he found that Kalanda's chain mail was also stuck in his abdomen and could not be removed at all, and the shoulder armor was too small to cover that area.
At this moment, there was a noise in the library. A priest who was sorting books discovered the situation here and shouted loudly. While calling on the temple warriors, he shot several star rays in this direction.
Kalanda used her sword to block the magic attack, but her sideways body made it difficult for her to dodge, and it was difficult for her to exert her strength, and she was immediately in a very awkward situation. Blas was pushed by Kalanda and sat on the ground, barely avoiding a starlight that shot straight at his head and neck. He saw the priest attacking Kalanda non-stop, and the dense magic broke through her greatsword defense and her protective fighting spirit, leaving several bloody marks on her upper arms and face that were not protected by armor.
What was even worse was that two temple warriors, including Galdo, were running towards them. Magic Kalanda could still resist with his fighting spirit, but facing swords, there was no hope.
Brass glanced at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, at Kalanda who was still struggling, and then at Chen Hansheng who was outside the barrier, banging on the wall and shouting, anxious. Suddenly, he roared like a tiger and pounced on the stone.
"Ah~" Brass screamed. He put his upper hand on his chest, and the high-temperature shield around the stone began to burn his arm mercilessly. His face was red and sweat was pouring down, but he lay on it tightly, motionless.
The barrier began to shake again.
Seeing this, Galdo hurriedly gave up Kalanda and rushed towards Bras. The sword light arrived before him, and the red fighting spirit light slashed towards his body, but the same silver-white sword light arrived first and intersected with the red sword light three meters in front of Bras, blasting out a circle of air waves.
After Karanda launched this attack, she took advantage of the moment when the barrier was turbulent and flipped over and landed inside the barrier. She leaped forward, her silver-white fighting spirit completely burning, and the greatsword in her hand collided fiercely with Galdo's long sword.
The two temple warriors following behind Galdo were about to step forward to pull Bras away, but they ran into the bullets of Chen Hansheng and Li Tianrui. The five guns of them shot the two men by surprise through the hole. One warrior was shot directly through the eye and died on the spot, and the other was shot in the thigh and waist and fell to the ground. Then his chest was blown open by Cole's explosive arrow.
However, at this moment, a bone spear came quietly and stabbed Bras in the shoulder. Bras, whose hands were burnt to charcoal, was blown away by this blow and fell silently beside the barrier. It was Letona and the remaining two temple warriors who rushed out of the library.
After Letona knocked Blas away with one move, he fired four or five bone spears at the gap in the barrier. One bone spear directly pierced Li Tianrui's gun, and the others exploded in the air. The people who were originally shooting here were blown away and all of them were injured. One warrior was even killed by a bone spear piercing his throat. The two temple warriors rushed towards Kalanda, and it became a situation where three temple warriors and two priests besieged Kalanda together.
"Hurry up and kill this woman. My teleportation array is ready. Let's retreat!" said Letona.
"These damn guys are so weak, why are they so difficult to deal with!" Galdo shouted while fighting fiercely with Kalanda.
The reopened hole in the barrier began to slowly shrink.
