Chapter 29: Lin Yue'er's Reinforcements! Still Got Some Tricks Up Her Sleeve
At this moment, the Agony Banshee Xiduo slowly raised her head, looking toward Xina with those cold eyes.
She hesitated slightly, then gave a light laugh and said, "I wondered who it was; so it is Lady Xina. It seems your mission to infiltrate the human city has been completed."
Xiduo looked at Xina with a meaningful gaze, her lotus steps shifting slightly, the ends of her chains dragging on the ground and emitting a hair-raising clinking sound.
"You have really worked hard this time. To infiltrate secretly, you didn't hesitate to exhaust your Calamity Power to be sealed within the Sacrificial Mark; the results are indeed excellent!"
"Lady Xina has performed a great service this time. It seems it won't be long before the Calamity Legion can annihilate those humans cowering in their cities in one fell swoop."
Xina did not speak, just standing quietly in place.
At this moment, she was only waiting for Zhou Chu's order to launch a fatal strike against her former colleague without the slightest hesitation.
But Xiduo was unaware of this.
She did not know what had actually happened in the Hero-level Dungeon in Tianhua City before.
And she knew even less that the Xina of this moment was no longer the Hero-level figure who once dominated the Calamity Forces.
At this time, she had long since become Zhou Chu's most loyal contract servant.
However, even though the Agony Banshee was completely oblivious to Xina's change, she possessed Hero-level strength after all.
The petty tricks someone was currently playing could still not escape her discerning eyes.
"However... Lady Xina, although you completed the mission brilliantly, did you not notice that an eyesore of a tail has been following you?"
As she spoke, Xiduo's expression turned cold, and she suddenly revealed her true appearance.
At this moment, her hair was like withered seaweed, scattered messily around her face.
That beautiful and moving face also became extremely distorted, turning sinister and terrifying.
Her fingers even turned into sharp ice awls, with sharp ice spikes congealing on her pointed nails, flickering with a cold glint in the darkness.
Without warning, Xiduo dragged the chains on her body and gave a fierce tug; the chains flew rapidly toward the top of Xina's head like a long, giant python.
Not good!
She could actually see through Ghost Form!
Zhou Chu's heart suddenly tightened as he discovered to his shock that the chain was flying toward him.
The speed was so fast that he had no chance to hesitate at all.
At the critical moment, Zhou Chu had no choice but to immediately cancel Ghost Form.
The chain, stained with cold energy, grazed Zhou Chu's scalp as it flew past, and the next moment Zhou Chu fell flat on the ground from mid-air.
But an unexpected scene occurred: the chain seemed to be able to track automatically, suddenly changing direction downward in the air and attacking Zhou Chu again.
Zhou Chu was terrified and could not care about much else; he rolled on the ground in a sorry state, barely avoiding the strike.
The chain smashed into the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust, and a deep gully was instantly smashed into the hard ground.
"Damn it, why is this chain so troublesome!" Zhou Chu cursed to himself.
Seeing this, Xina immediately drew her bow and fired, and a series of arrows carrying the aura of death shot rapidly toward Xiduo.
Xiduo hurriedly swung her chains, actually blocking all the arrows.
The power of an attack from a God-tier Weapon can be imagined; the strong force actually forced Xiduo back several steps.
"Xina, you are actually attacking me?"
Clearly, Xiduo was surprised that Xina had such swift archery skills.
Having had almost all her Calamity Power taken away by the Sacrificial Mark, her strength had not weakened, but had instead become even stronger than before.
"A spent force! A mantis trying to stop a chariot!" Xiduo glared at Xina not far away, her ferocious face full of killing intent and disdain.
"Since you want to die, don't blame me!"
"I want to see how much ability you have left after suffering the Sacrificial Mark!"
She danced with both hands, and more chains surged from her body, sweeping toward Zhou Chu and Xina like a swarm of snakes dancing in chaos.
"Damn! It's the Star Cloud Chain!"
Zhou Chu was shocked and hurriedly summoned the Crypt Demon and Grave Digger from the Contract Pool, letting them block the damage for him.
However, these B-Grade contract servants were simply vulnerable under Xiduo's chain attacks and were shredded into pieces one after another.
Xina took the opportunity to leap, and while her body was in mid-air, she continuously fired arrows from the longbow in her hand, trying to find a flaw in Xiduo's chain offensive.
Zhou Chu scrambled to avoid the chain attacks while continuously summoning servants from the Contract Pool.
Now, as long as he was grazed by the opponent's chain, it would be a complete Game Over.
If not for Xina, facing this powerful A-Grade Calamity Hero, Zhou Chu, this little glass cannon, would only be waiting for death.
And at this moment, Xina was even more desperate, using her own body to block the incoming chains for Zhou Chu.
Although Xina had the blessing of God-tier Equipment, her level was only 9.
If compared with the level 25 Agony Banshee, her attributes were still a bit inferior.
However, the only thing that could surpass the opponent was Attack Power.
Xina currently had over 100,000 Attack Power; as long as she hit successfully, she would kill her!
The next moment, the cold chain hit Xina's right rib, directly piercing through her body.
But this chain seemed to have locked onto Zhou Chu as its final target; even after piercing through the obstacle, it still attacked Zhou Chu.
Xina hurriedly grabbed the chain that had passed through her body and pulled with all her might; although this slightly changed the direction of the chain, it still did not resolve Zhou Chu's crisis.
Those servants who were surrounding Zhou Chu and defending him from damage were instantly shredded by the chains.
Zhou Chu's heart turned to ash.
Was he really going to fall here this time?
Just as the chain was about to hit Zhou Chu, he heard a long eagle cry in his ear, followed by a flash of white light, fast as lightning.
Immediately following that came the sound of a shield shattering and a muffled groan.
Only then did Zhou Chu see that a white Thunder Eagle covered in lightning had defended him from this attack.
The next second, the Thunder Eagle was seen being knocked flying far away, instantly transforming into a woman holding a long halberd.
Zhou Chu's heart sank abruptly.
The person who had transformed into the Thunder Eagle to block this attack for him was actually Lin Yue'er.
Likely struck in the back by this blow from the Agony Banshee, Lin Yue'er staggered violently, nearly falling to the ground.
Managing to steady her figure with great difficulty, Lin Yue'er immediately lunged forward, blocking in front of Zhou Chu.
"You guy, you sure run fast. If I had arrived one second later, your life would have been forfeit here!"
"This Heroic Difficulty monster is not something the two of us can handle; retreat quickly, I'll cover the rear!"
Lin Yue'er turned her head and said to Zhou Chu with a serious expression.
"Ouch! So painful!"
Lin Yue'er suddenly cried out in pain, her body unsteady, and she was about to fall to one side.
Zhou Chu hurriedly stepped forward and caught Lin Yue'er's body.
"Senior Lin, are you alright?" Zhou Chu asked while supporting Lin Yue'er.
"Stop dawdling, hurry up and retreat!"
"If you don't leave now, both of us will die here!"
Lin Yue'er shoved Zhou Chu away forcefully and shouted a reprimand.
This movement tugged at her wound, causing Lin Yue'er to gasp in pain, her delicate brows knitting together even further.
Zhou Chu took a look; blood had already stained Lin Yue'er's pant leg red.
Being able to stand meant the bone wasn't injured, so it wasn't considered serious.
Only then did Zhou Chu have the opportunity to observe the current situation on the battlefield.
At this moment, Xina had completely seized the initiative in the battle.
She was seen plucking the bowstring rapidly, and arrows like a machine gun forced Xiduo to retreat again and again.
Moreover, it was precisely because of Lin Yue'er's sudden appearance that the Agony Banshee's attack rhythm was disrupted.
At the same time, Lin Yue'er's lightning effect was conducted to the Agony Banshee through the iron chains, subsequently causing her body to be affected by the lightning, and her attacks paused briefly.
Xina also keenly captured this precious opportunity and finally reversed the previous passive situation.
Damn it all.
Not only was it making the god-level Xina somewhat overwhelmed, but he himself had also nearly lost his life here.
This Agony Banshee's chain attack really had some substance to it.
Next, it is time to subdue you, this monster!
While continuously releasing Grave Diggers from the Contract Pool to block in front of him, Zhou Chu walked slowly toward the Agony Banshee.
At this moment, Lin Yue'er grabbed him and said loudly: "What are you doing? Do you not want your life? Hurry up and come with me!"
