Chapter 19

Seeing three fireballs coming, Xie Yaoyao immediately dodged behind a giant rock to the side.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three loud noises rang out almost one after another.

He confirmed once again that if he were hit, he would definitely be dead through and through.

He pulled out his shotgun and fired a "bang" at the demon behind him.

A large patch of blue lead pellets hit the target solidly; although it felt like it was of no use, Xie Yaoyao still insisted on adding poison to every attack.

Then, without looking at the result, he continued to run without looking back.

Judging by the roar behind him, Xie Yaoyao felt that he must have hit the target.

Sure enough, after a roar, the monster came chasing after him with a "thump, thump, thump."

On the way back, Xie Yaoyao's heart sank lower and lower.

He discovered that this monster's speed was not just a little bit faster than his, especially on that small path running back to the village.

With no cover, he would definitely be caught and torn to pieces, not to mention that this monster could also release fireballs.

No!

Can't run back.

Now that there are these huge rocks here to hide and maneuver, if I run back, I'm definitely dead.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After dodging another wave of fireball bombardment, Xie Yaoyao turned back to fire a shot in retaliation, continuing to circle around with the demon in the giant rock jungle.

This time, the lead pellets had a purple luster.

For the rest of the time, Xie Yaoyao kept repeating this exciting exercise.

Gradually, he discovered that something was wrong with the demon; although it was still brave and invincible, the wounds Xie Yaoyao caused on its body were increasing, and its speed was slowly decreasing.

"Haha, my poison attack is not ineffective, but its effect has been weakened."

"It really is worthy of being a demon bloodline; it can resist my blue entry poison for so long and so much."

Xie Yaoyao saw the hope of hunting the demon alone again.

Perhaps after this mission ends, I should go specifically into the forest to collect poison entries and thoroughly stack up this useful entry.

If it were a green entry poison, maybe this demon would have been poisoned to death by now.

The sky gradually darkened, and the three people—Hunter Owen and the others—waiting in Yangtela Village became increasingly restless.

Fortunately, the constant explosions coming from the stone forest in the distance let them know that Xie Yaoyao had not failed yet.

The most impatient Woodcutter Miller rested his hands on a giant axe and spoke first.

"Owen, I think that kid was tempted by Kathleen's inheritance and then took a risk alone. He wants to..."

The Pharmacist, who had been solemn-faced, glared fiercely at the Woodcutter upon hearing this, but ignored him.

It was the Hunter on the side who spoke up.

"No, that kid's choice is correct."

At this moment, the Hunter had already changed into tight-fitting clothing, one hand resting on the hilt of a thin sword at his waist.

"We made a big mistake; I hope he's alright!"

As he spoke, a violent explosion came from the stone forest in the distance.

From afar, the three of them saw the red magma splashing into the air.

Then, immediately following that, the three of them simultaneously felt the magical power that had been preventing them from leaving the village disappear.

"Success, that kid actually killed that demon all by himself." The Hunter waved his fist with one hand and said excitedly.

The bearded Woodcutter stood up and gripped his giant axe with both hands.

"Yeah! That kid actually succeeded, so the so-called Abyss demon was just a useless piece of trash!"

The Hunter immediately felt the change in his comrade beside him, but clearly, he was too late to stop the Woodcutter, who had long been planning, from fiercely swinging his giant axe and leaving a horrifying wound on the Pharmacist's chest.

"Miller! Are you crazy?"

The Pharmacist was slashed away fiercely and fell heavily to the ground.

And the thin sword in the Hunter's hand stabbed toward the Woodcutter's face, preventing him from delivering a finishing blow to the Pharmacist.

"Clang~"

The rapier and the axe face collided, sending sparks flying.

The Hunter didn't attack further, just stood in front of the Pharmacist and questioned the Woodcutter fiercely.

"Miller, what's wrong with you? Why attack Kathleen?"

After blocking the Hunter's rapier attack, the Woodcutter gripped his axe with both hands and grinned, revealing ghastly white teeth.

"Heh heh, why? Of course, for the great master, His Highness Wiersalaze! Now that Little Red Riding Hood has grown up, the master will soon get his wish. Naturally, I cannot let you two guys ruin the master's ritual!"

"I don't know what the witch did to make you a traitor, but since you have betrayed His Highness, you are not worthy to speak the name of His Highness Wiersalaze!"

The Woodcutter laughed loudly upon hearing this, waved the giant axe in his hand casually, and then suddenly accelerated and charged toward the Hunter.

"What silly things are you saying, Owen? I am His Highness Wiersalaze's most loyal Axe Guard! Once I kill you two and escort His Highness into the forest to complete the ritual, then I will be a Kingdom General."

"Cling-clang!"

The two were soon locked in battle.

Miller knew Owen's strength, so he used his ability as soon as he charged up.

He let out a roar, a red light faintly appearing all over his body, and the axe blade was also stained with a red glow.

Owen, as his opponent, was also very angry at Miller's betrayal and also ignited the Battle Qi in his body; a silvery-white sword glow immediately flashed on the rapier in his hand.

For a time, Battle Qi and sparks flew everywhere; if Xie Yaoyao were here, he would know why the Hunter was so confident about killing that demon.

The battle between the two entered its most intense stage from the very beginning, while the Pharmacist, lying on the ground, vomited blood while taking out a red potion from inside her clothes and drinking it.

The red potion made the Pharmacist's pale complexion look a bit better, and even the huge wound on her chest slashed open by the giant axe began to heal slowly.

Having finally stopped the deterioration of the wound, the Pharmacist returned to the village to hide as soon as possible.

She knew that if she stayed here, Owen would still need to expend energy to look after her.

Miller had already tried more than once to rush over and deliver a fatal blow to her, but fortunately, Owen had blocked him every time.

Seeing that the Pharmacist was about to escape his sight, Woodcutter Miller used a heavy sweep to force back the Hunter in front of him.

Then he threw the giant axe in his hand fiercely toward the Pharmacist's direction.

"Kathleen, look out!"

The Hunter was shocked and immediately called out to warn the Pharmacist, who was staggering away, while at the same time, a brilliant silver Battle Qi condensed on the rapier in his hand and swung toward the flying giant axe.

Finally, he hit the giant axe at the moment it was about to slash the Pharmacist, slightly deflecting the giant axe's flight path.

The Pharmacist was naturally paying real-time attention to the Woodcutter's movements, and when she saw him throw the giant axe at her, her body was already performing a dodging action.

With the Hunter's help, the giant axe didn't successfully kill the Pharmacist, but it did slash off one of her arms, and then it was nailed fiercely into the ground behind her.

Blood flashed again, and the Pharmacist lay on the ground, dying!
