Chapter 63: The Heavily Damaged Xiaolong Squad

At this moment, in the dense forest.

Under the protection of Lin Yue'er and two Soul Professionals, the medical squad safely approached the hinterland of the front line by another distance.

At this time, the corpses of several Calamity monsters not far away caught their attention.

One of the members wearing the Xiaolong Squad uniform immediately stepped forward to inspect them, and a look of confusion and surprise appeared on their face.

"What on earth happened here just now? An entire squad of B-Grade monsters, all dead in an instant!"

Lin Yue'er hurriedly walked up to take a look, her delicate brows slightly furrowed: "The Calamity Aura here is very heavy, but it doesn't look like there are any traces of a fight."

"Can you track the aura of a Soul Professional?" she then asked the member.

That Xiaolong Squad member shook their head and said: "No, not even a trace. This is too strange!"

"Could it be that the Calamity monsters had an internal conflict?" another Xiaolong Squad member guessed.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out," Lin Yue'er said, gently biting her lip, "but I can feel that the Calamity Aura here is very unusual."

"Perhaps a leader-level Calamity Ghost from the Calamity Legion has been here."

"Will the Captain and the others be alright?" the two Xiaolong Squad members could not help but feel their hearts sink.

As a War Priest, although Lin Yue'er had not reached the strength of the 2nd Turn, she possessed an extremely keen perception and discernment ability for Calamity Qi, so the two of them trusted her judgment implicitly.

Looking at those corpses of Calamity monsters, everyone's heart was filled with deep unease.

They knew well that on this dangerous Southern Front, any anomaly could hide a huge crisis.

"Everyone, don't panic yet. We will continue to advance and rendezvous with the Captain and the others as soon as possible. However, we must be more careful and cautious on the way, and remain vigilant at all times."

The previously mentioned Xiaolong Squad member said solemnly.

After all, they were an elite of the Exorcism Army; the more critical the moment, the more they had to keep their composure.

Zhou Chu was shuttling through the void at high speed, his heart full of worry for the safety of his aunt, Chu Shuangshuang.

Every second that passed felt like it was tugging at his heart, and he only hated that he could not appear by his aunt's side immediately.

At this moment, the hinterland of Demon Cave No. 15 was a scene of chaos and bloodshed.

The members of the Exorcism Army's Xiaolong Squad were struggling to resist the attack of numerous monsters.

After experiencing several ambushes by the Calamity Ghost Legion, this elite squad could be said to have suffered heavy casualties and severe damage to their vitality.

Many members were fighting while injured, and the scene looked exceptionally tragic.

At this time, a female Soul Professional with a powerful build, wearing a pair of silver-white gauntlets, was being besieged by a group of C-Grade Grunts.

But her punches and kicks were like a tiger and the wind; every strike could send a monster flying.

However, she had already suffered multiple injuries on her body, and blood had long since stained her Xiaolong uniform red.

Yet her eyes remained firm, and gritting her teeth, she desperately blocked the monsters' attacks, continuously knocking away the monsters that approached her.

But those monsters seemed as if they could never be killed; after dying, they stood up from the ground again and lunged at them once more.

"Captain! You take the wounded and retreat first; I and the other brothers will cover your retreat!"

A Knight Soul Professional holding a long spear and shield raised his shield to smash away a few more monsters, shouting with a look of determination.

"What nonsense are you spouting! When has our Xiaolong Squad ever retreated! Everyone hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"

Chu Shuangshuang shouted loudly, trying to boost the morale of the members, and then added a layer of frost power to her fists.

Next, she smashed her fists into the ground with all her might, and a large area of ice instantly spread out, freezing all the numerous monsters into ice sculptures.

Seeing their Captain's Ice-Sealing Thousand-Mile Fist show its power, the Xiaolong Squad members were instantly energized and filled with fighting spirit, shouting as they clashed with the monsters again.

But Chu Shuangshuang also knew in her heart that their current situation was already extremely critical.

The hope of waiting for reinforcements seemed remote.

At this moment, near Demon Cave No. 15, a man also wearing an Exorcism Army uniform, his whole body shrouded in Calamity Qi, was continuously casting Silin Fuhuo Shu, summoning the monsters that had been killed back to life.

However, this man's face was covered with black blood vessels, and his hideous face bore a lewd and cruel smile.

He stared fixedly at Chu Shuangshuang with those gray-white eyes, while licking his lips and praising with a laugh: "This human woman is really quite something."

"This is the finest goods I have ever encountered!"

"All of you go easy on her, absolutely do not hurt her! I want her alive!"

This Calamity leader immediately issued instructions to those monsters.

Seeing that her Ice-Sealing Thousand-Mile Fist did not seem to have much effect, Chu Shuangshuang fixed her gaze on the Calamity leader in the distance.

At this point, even if it meant risking her life, she had to take out this Calamity leader first.

Otherwise, these Calamity monsters would be continuously resurrected.

Taking the head of a general from among ten thousand troops was something Chu Shuangshuang had experienced before.

But taking the head of an A-Grade Calamity leader was a first for her.

However, she had to give it her all!

A flash of resolution crossed Chu Shuangshuang's eyes as she used all her strength, continuously smashing her Ice-Sealing Thousand-Mile Fist into the ground.

This stirred up waves of ice several meters high, turning all the surging monsters into a large expanse of ice sculptures.

At this time, due to the repeated use of the Ice-Sealing Thousand-Mile Fist, Chu Shuangshuang's Soul Power Value was almost exhausted.

But she still burned the last remaining bit of Soul Power without hesitation, and an incomparably surging flame instantly rose around her body.

The next moment, her body rushed toward that Calamity Lord like a high-speed falling meteorite.

"Hmph, this little woman has quite some guts, but wanting to hurt me is simply overestimating herself!" the Calamity Lord sneered disdainfully, then revealed an even more hideous smile.

He unhurriedly raised his hands, chanting words, while the screams of fierce ghosts and resentful spirits echoed from all directions.

Immediately after, a layer of black halo appeared around his body; that halo was like a tangible shield, emitting an eerie aura and shrouding his entire person within it.

Chu Shuangshuang's body was like a meteorite wrapped in flames, her speed becoming faster and faster.

She gritted her teeth, burning the last bit of Soul Power in her body to the limit.

At this moment, in her eyes, there was only the figure of the Calamity Lord.

Just as Chu Shuangshuang was about to collide with that black Light Tier protective shield, she suddenly brought her fists together, infused them with the last bit of her remaining strength, and slammed fiercely into the shield.

With a loud "Boom!", Chu Shuangshuang's fists collided with the black Light Tier protective shield, instantly stirring up a wave of intense energy fluctuations.

Flames splashed in all directions, and the surrounding Calamity Qi seemed to be distorted by this shockwave.

However, the Calamity Lord's defensive shield was far too sturdy; this strike, which Chu Shuangshuang had put her all into, only caused the shield to ripple, failing to break it.

A massive rebounding force surged forth, sending Chu Shuangshuang flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground, and she immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Hahahaha, you want to kill me with just this much ability? It is truly laughable!"

The Calamity Lord laughed maniacally.
