Although the rotting demon fly is small in size, its strength and speed are astonishing, and it can also spit out a highly poisonous liquid from its mouth. It's just that, for Chen Rui, the venom, the biggest ultimate move of the rotting demon fly, has no effect and can only be converted into aura.
Just in time, a large number of bloodthirsty demon flies rushed around. Chen Rui wanted to try the effect of Mieyuan Zhan on the poisonous demon flies. With the increase of star power, another powerful group attack broke out: "Mieyuan Zhan!"
The rotting poison fly that had rushed to the range of Mie Yuan Zhan's power was instantly cut by countless small and sharp high-speed cuts, but it was not smashed to pieces like other bloodthirsty magic flies. It just staggered and barely flew in the air, and the speed suddenly slowed down. Come down with a creepy squeak.
Sure enough, group attacks are only suitable for facing a large number of relatively low-strength enemies. To deal with such a single powerful opponent, it is better to use the strongest single attack.
"Broken Yuan Knife!"
Before the Corrosion Demon Fly recovered, a blade-like sharpness had already slashed down on its head, and with a sharp squeaking sound, it hit it firmly. Surprisingly, the toughness of this giant magic fly's body is far beyond imagination, and the Poyuan knife, which is strong enough to cut metal, failed to cut it in two, but only cut a big hole, and the unpleasant juice flowed out. Chen Rui didn't hesitate, and chopped dozens of knives in a row. Finally, the rotten poisonous fly couldn't bear it, and was cut into several sections by the broken yuan knife, completely cutting off its vitality.
Athena lost a rotting demonfly and a large number of bloodthirsty demonflies, and the pressure was obviously reduced. The tight defensive circle of the Medusas doubled, and they have firmly suppressed their opponents.
After Chen Rui dealt with the rotting poisonous fly, he quickly came to Athena while the broken yuan knife was still within ten minutes. With the help of Diudiu's restraint, he worked together to kill another rotten poison magic fly.
The remaining one saw that the situation was not good, and was about to fly away, when an arrow flew over like lightning, nailing its wings, the movement of the magic fly froze, and was hit by Athena's horizontal slash, making a painful sound , fell to the side. Immediately afterwards, Chen Rui's Yuansha Saber arrived, and the last rotting demon fly turned into several segments amidst his vigor.
After the rotting demon flies were killed, the few remaining bloodthirsty demon flies did not escape, but continued to attack without fear of death until they were all wiped out.
The crisis was finally resolved, and Athena's fighting state, which had been highly tense, disappeared immediately, and her magic fire was also extinguished. Panting heavily, she supported her overstretched body with her sword. Although her strength is strong, she has been fighting continuously for almost a whole night, consuming a considerable amount of power, and is almost on the verge of exhaustion.
Athena looked at Chen Rui who was approaching, and her eyes suddenly turned red. Although he hadn't said anything, she could imagine how worried he was about her and how much risk he took to come here to find her. Just as she was about to speak, suddenly a fiery masculine breath came towards her, and she was already hugged tightly by him.
After going through the experience of life and death in Youye Wetland, Chen Rui's longing and emotion for Athena became stronger than ever, especially when he was looking for her just now. He originally wanted to say a lot, but when he saw Athena, he couldn't say anything. He could only hug her tightly. This may be the most direct and best way of expression.
Even though he was hugged by him when we parted in the green leafy forest, the strange feeling in Athena's heart is still strong at this moment, feeling the strong heartbeat and warm embrace, as if all the dangers and difficulties have become unimportant .
In the embrace without distance, the two hearts got closer, and Athena, whose eyes were a little hazy, let go of her hand, and the big sword fell to the ground with a "ding dong" unconsciously.
The sound awakened Athena, thinking that there were other people beside her, she hurriedly broke away, her face was hot, but she felt that the strength that had disappeared just now had regained a lot inexplicably.
"Miss..." A faint voice sounded from behind, it was Gade's voice, and Gade was still alive.
However, judging from that, it won't last long.
Under the light of the lighting ring, Gade's blood and horrific wounds were reflected, and there were thick bones in many places, as if something had been eaten. Chen Rui could tell that Gade's injuries were so serious that even medicine could not cure him.
Athena hurriedly came to Gade's side and squatted down. Gade already exhaled more air than breathed in, and his weak voice was full of remorse: "I'm sorry... miss, I'm the one who hurt you..."
"No!" Athena's eyes started to turn red again, "It's because I didn't have enough strength to rescue the miners, and it caused you..."
"Miss, you are wrong... I really deserve to die, in fact, I have been in collusion with the Red Devil's thieves... because only in this way can the lives of the miners be saved..."
Athena and Chen Rui were taken aback at the same time. Unexpectedly, the biggest "inner ghost" of the mining office turned out to be the captain of the guard who had been leading the miners to live a difficult life.
"Not only me, but also Connor... This time you are going to come to the lower level to save people, I am afraid that Connor will make trouble... come down with you, unexpectedly, he will come down with me..." Gade's breathing became more and more rapid, and he was about to I can't stand it anymore.
Chen Rui showed a clear expression. Gade had always been grateful to Athena's father, General George. As an internal response, Gade knew that the Red Devils Bandit was powerful, so he repeatedly urged Athena to leave the mine, but unfortunately he never succeeded. Just when Athena was about to venture down to rescue the miners, Gade did not spare her from danger and accompanied her down.
However, Gade didn't know that the fall of the miners was Connor's premeditation, and he didn't know that Connor's real identity was not a spy of the Red Devils, but a dead man manipulated by a mysterious force. Athena, in turn, caused chaos in the Fallen Angel Empire, allowing the forces behind it to profit from it.
"It's not your fault. Without you, the miners can't survive." Chen Rui knelt down and comforted him. Although keeping the miners temporarily was the plan of the Chiyou territory, from Gade's point of view, it was indeed Involuntarily, anyway, Gade's heart is for the miners.
Now that a person is about to die, let him rest in peace.
"Lord Chen Rui..." Gade still doesn't understand that this human being who he has always considered to be weak is actually a strong man with extraordinary strength. Unfortunately, he has no strength to say unnecessary words now.
"Please take good care of me..." Gade continued in one breath, but desperately squeezed out an unfinished sentence, his body trembled violently, and finally gradually returned to silence.
"Don't worry. I will protect Athena with my life." Chen Rui sighed, gently closed Gade's eyes, and stood up.
"I'm sorry..." Athena looked at Chen Rui with a sad face, and before she could speak, Diu Diu's reminder sounded.
"Master, be careful, they are coming!"
I saw that the four Medusas had already dealt with the corpses and injuries of their companions, and slowly squirmed over.
Previously, due to the relatively long distance, this rumored intelligent monster could not be seen clearly, but now at close range and with the light of the lighting ring, it can be seen more clearly. Medusa's hair is like small wriggling snakes. Although her facial features are beautiful, her light golden pupils are like the vertical pupils of some kind of snake, which adds a bit of aura. Her upper limbs are wearing simple leather armor, and her skin is faintly visible. It has fine scales, and its lower body is completely a snake body from the navel down, which looks extremely strange.
Chen Rui noticed that the corpses of Medusas on the ground were dismembered and shattered, and it was the living Medusas who shot. He was secretly vigilant. It seemed that this kind of monster was indeed extremely ferocious, even the corpses of its companions were not spared. ! At the beginning, Athena and them should have met by chance, and they were forced to unite when they had a common enemy. Now that the magic flies have been wiped out, the possibility of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is quite high.
Analytical eyes showed that these Medusas were all high-level demons. Judging from the aura, the leader with the bow was the most powerful.
The Medusa holding the bow looked at Chen Rui for a while, bowed slightly, and performed a common etiquette of the demons, spitting out a snake-like forked tongue, and hissing voices converged into an awkward sound. Speech: "Thank you... thank you."
Chen Rui was greatly surprised. Although Medusa is an intelligent monster, it still cannot compare with highly intelligent creatures like giant dragons. This is the first time he has heard that Medusa can speak the common language of the demon world, but this Medusa Sha's pronunciation is very difficult, a bit like a foreigner who has just learned Chinese.
Athena wanted to confide in Chen Rui, but she knew it was not the time. After drinking the healing potion and recovery potion he handed over, she said, "Gade and I were hunted down by those terrible flies. It just so happened that they were fighting the flies, and they could even speak the language of the devil world, so we worked together to deal with the flies."
What happened was similar to Chen Rui's expectation, but it seemed that only this bow-holding Medusa could speak the language of the devil world, and her vocabulary was very limited, which sounded weird.
"May I have your name?"
This sentence was said by Chen Rui in his consciousness through the analytical eyes. Medusa showed surprise, and the "foreign language" in her mouth turned into a "hiss" sound with varying lengths. Although Athena couldn't understand, But it sounded much more fluent to Chen Rui's ears.
"How do you know our language?" Medusa said in surprise: "My name is Lusha, thank you for saving us."
"Hi Lusha, my name is Chen Rui, and her name is Athena," Chen Rui asked the most important question, "We come from the ground, is there any other way back to the ground?"
"There is only one passage back to the ground, but the enchantment there is very strong, limiting the strength above the devil level. If you have already reached the devil level, there is no way." Lusha's answer made Chen Rui frown. This is the only way out that Sha knows. Neither he nor Athena had reached the Demon King level, but now the barrier has been destroyed by Connor, and it has become a one-way exit. You can enter but cannot exit, unless you can reach the Demon King level. Break open forcibly, otherwise there is no hope of escape.
Chen Rui asked: "Lusha, I am born with the power to communicate with other species, so I can talk to you, but I am curious, why do you speak the language of the demon world?"
"My husband taught me. His name is Tim."
Chen Rui's surprise was no small matter: Tim! It was the previous mining officer who disappeared mysteriously two years ago!
