SFS Chapter 467: Cutting off
Chapter 467: Cutting off
"Brook, come and see!" Bayin, who had been watching the battle on the top of the mountain, suddenly said.
Brook walked over to Bayin and looked down.
Not far below the mountaintop, in the river, thousands of monks and numerous demonic beasts were already engaged in a chaotic battle. Though their names were too far away to be clearly seen, the appearances of the rare, high-level beasts were still discernible: Dreadlords, Death Knights, Liches, Plaguebeasts, Lava Beasts, Jailers, Void Prophets, and Doombringers...
"That rare magical beast can flash non-stop!"
Bayin was pointing at a demonic beast emitting a dark aura. It kept flashing through the crowd, its cooldown period very short. Each time it dove into the crowd, it dealt considerable damage to those around it, killing some mages with low health instantly.
Brooke checked the compass map carefully and soon learned its name.
"Voidwalker Kassadin. A rare monster that recently appeared. It's said that it was it that wiped out the 11-man team of the Tuoba clan."
"This Kassadin can flash once every 3 seconds. Is it his own special skill? Or is he wearing a teleportation ring?" Bayin asked.
Brook shook his head slowly and said:
"Each time it flashes, the distance is within 100 yards. If it's a teleportation ring, it should be able to teleport farther."
"Yes. But we can't completely deny that it is a teleportation ring." Bayin said.
If it really is a teleportation ring, we have to find a way to get it.
"I'll ask Xiaobai to confirm it."
Brook summoned Xiaobai, who said the distance was too far and they had to get closer.
This is easy, just let the ancient dragon take them down.
The fighting was raging down below, and the Ancient Dragon had long wanted to join in. Seeing the Dreadlord, Death Knight, and other monsters, new and old hatreds surged in his heart.
"Come up quickly!" The ancient dragon urged, and suddenly turned around and saw the mutated skeleton Xiaobai that Brook had newly summoned, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiaobai's breath made him feel somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.
"What's wrong, Elder? This is my friend Xiaobai. He's very lightweight. Is it okay for us to ride together?"
"...I hope that the number of people on board will not exceed three." The ancient dragon Elder said sullenly.
Brook thought about it and decided that three people were enough.
"Ok, no problem."
Brook, Bayin, and Xiaobai sat down. Without further ado, the ancient dragon swooped down, spread its wings, and glided toward the battlefield.
Most of the human cultivators on the battlefield below were independent cultivators. They had heard that Bayinbuluke was in the monster jungle, so they joined forces to fight their way there in order to obtain the legendary resurrection ring. They set out from the city's center, advancing along the human jungle to the upper right. They encountered a few monsters along the way, but with their superior numbers, they crushed them with unstoppable force.
As they entered the river area, a large group of monsters suddenly pressed in from the monster wild area, including many high-level monsters of rank 5 and 6. At first, the human monks were very excited, thinking that with so many people on their side, these high-level monsters were just here to deliver equipment.
However, as more high-level monsters appeared, including the 7th-level Bloodbath Overlord, the Arctic Executioner, and even more powerful rare monsters, the human monks felt tremendous pressure, and the two sides engaged in a fierce gunfight in the river.
These monks lacked a unified command, maintaining a basic formation: warriors at the front, Taoists in the middle, and mages at the back. The monks' abilities varied widely. While there were many sixth-rank monks, there were also quite a few fifth- and fourth-rank monks. There were over ten seventh-rank masters, but not a single eighth-rank master.
The rare Warcraft beast, Kassadin, was originally hunting monsters in the jungle. He heard Duanmu Duxing's roar and rushed over. Instead of encountering Duanmu, he encountered a massive army of thousands of monks. He used his Flash ability to relentlessly attack the mages in the back row, leaving the monks helpless and unable to deal with Kassadin. The front row, deprived of firepower, was already beginning to weaken.
At this moment, the Dreadlord, the Lava Behemoth, and the others unleashed their ultimate attacks one after another, stunning, focusing fire, and killing over a dozen soldiers in the front row. A gap was torn in the formation, allowing the monsters to break in. This led to the collapse of the thousands-man army.
The monsters were still surrounding them from all directions, their numbers increasing, and the human monks finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore and retreated in a hurry.
Suddenly I discovered that the path leading to the river from the wild area had been blocked by monsters at some point!
The monks then remembered that the three camps at the forefront of humanity had been occupied by monsters! The monsters were closer to the river, which was why the support was so fast and the retreat was blocked!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, low-level mages in front! Taoists, put your babies away and don't block the way! Let us come!" A 7th-turn mage led several powerful 6th-turn monks and squeezed to the front while shouting. With their high combat power, they beat the monsters back step by step. Under their leadership, everyone slowly moved towards the wild area.
Suddenly, a rare mantis-shaped monster swooped down from the woods. It flew incredibly fast, hovering over everyone in the blink of an eye. With a swipe of its sharp, sickle-like forelimbs, it decapitated two rank-6 cultivators, instantly killing them. The other three were also left with minimal health.
The mantis did not land on the ground. It lightly tapped everyone's shoulders with its feet and flew away with a roar, giving the monks no chance to surround and kill it!
"Swish, swish, swish!" The mantis leaped and slashed through the crowd, finally returning to the front of the path and slashing its scythe fiercely, killing the three monks who had just been reduced to low health. The seventh-level mage who led the group also lost most of his health and dared not move forward for a moment.
The Void Reaver Kha'Zix fluttered his wings slightly, held the scythe in his hand across his body, and roared with bared teeth:
"With me here, who dares to come forward?"
Although these humans could not understand what it said, its aura was enough to shock them!
No one wants to die, and no one dares to move forward!
The retreat route ahead was blocked, and some monks scattered to either side of the river. From the left, a bipedal crocodile emerged, armed with a crescent-shaped double-edged axe. From the right, a giant insect, capable of splitting and attacking, and controlling rock thrusts, appeared. The passages on both sides were also blocked!
Circular patterns appeared above the crowd, slowly rotating, and some alert monks began to activate their city return stones. Being in the crowd, they had a chance to hold out for 8 seconds.
"Huh!" Everyone groaned as Voidwalker Kassadin flashed over, damaging everyone in the area. Although they were lucky enough to survive, their return to the city had been interrupted.
There were people returning to the city in the distance.
Wither and decay! The lich activated his ultimate move, and the human monks within a few dozen yards began to slowly lose health, and their return to the city was also interrupted.
Farther away, a strong tornado blew up.
Bladestorm! The Sword Saint had already reached the river on the right side before he rushed in with Wind Step, unleashing his ultimate move directly into the crowd!
The army of monks suffered heavy casualties and wailed continuously.
At this moment, a dark cloud passed through the sky, accompanied by a gust of wind. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was not a dark cloud, but a huge blue-gray ancient dragon!
I saw the giant dragon flapping its wings and hovering in the air, its neck slightly tilted back and forward.
Oh no! Kha'Zix was very alert and jumped back when he saw the situation was not good.
Suddenly his body stopped, his whole body stiffened, and he fell down heavily!
Bloodthirsty paralysis! Kha'Zix was petrified.
Dragon Breath! Hit!
A full 12 seconds of dragon breath, all hit.
Kha'Zix had recovered at the 5th second, but his jumping skill was interrupted by Brook, and the cooldown time was not restored. He wanted to dodge, but he couldn't.
The dragon's breath stopped, and Kha'Zix, the Void Reaver, died. Explosion.
At the same time, meteor showers and hurricanes continued to fall on the group of monsters on the river path, and the monsters blocking the road also fell down in large numbers.
Everyone looked at the ancient dragon above their heads in horror!
This ancient dragon seems to be helping them?
But how can it also release meteor showers and hurricane-force winds?
"Bayin! Brook!!" Finally someone discovered the two people on the dragon's back.
"Bayinbuluke? The two people who possess the resurrection ring?! There? Where?!" Everyone looked around.
"It's right above you! On the dragon's back!"
"what?!"
"They are clearing out the monsters blocking the road!"
"The ancient dragon is also killing monsters!"
"They can control the ancient dragons!"
“They’re helping us!”
"..."
Everyone craned their necks, staring blankly at the giant dragon in the sky, and staring blankly at Bayinbuluke on the dragon's back, feeling surprised, shocked, confused, and at a loss.
"The road ahead is clear, and a tide of beasts is coming from behind! What are you standing there for? Run!" Brook gathered his energy in his dantian and shouted at the monks below.
Everyone woke up as if from a dream!
The seventh-rank mage who led the group tightened his grip on the True Dragon Wand, a conflict brewing within him. With a final stomp of his feet, he finally abandoned the idea of attacking Bayinbuluke and ran towards the human jungle, head bowed.
The remaining six-turn teammates behind him also lowered their heads and ran after him, and the others followed closely behind.
The blocked army of monks finally found an outlet, a way to survive, and quickly retreated to the human wilderness.
"Thank you!" A monk who had already run to the top of the hillside in the wild area suddenly stopped, turned back to the dragon, and bowed to Bayinbuluke with his fists.
More monks stopped and bowed in thanks!
"No thanks! You guys go quickly! I'll cover your retreat!" The dragon had already turned around, and Brook turned his back to the crowd and waved his hand.
Xiaobai had already said that Kassadin didn't have a teleport ring, and no other artifacts were found nearby. Brook wanted to leave, but the ancient dragon wouldn't let him. It wanted to kill all the abominable monsters that stole the treasure and almost killed it last time!
Now with Brook here and his powerful healing, it will be fearless!
The ancient dragon roared and pounced towards the herd of beasts in front!
