Chapter 106: Zhou Yi! A Shocking Strike! The Stunned Su Qinglian! (Subscribe!)

Just then, the smart watch on Su Qinglian's wrist suddenly vibrated.

A virtual map was projected into the air.

On the map, a point of light was rapidly approaching their location.

"Our distress signal has been answered!"

Su Qinglian, who had been deathly pale just moments ago, was instantly invigorated. She said excitedly, "Everyone, just hold on a little longer—the other squad will be here any moment!"

"That's great!"

"We're saved now!"

Everyone had injuries, big or small, and to conserve their stamina, their words were all very brief.

But from those simple words, one could still feel the powerful will to survive.

At this moment, as long as there was any hope of life, they would cling to it tightly!

"Roar!"

Just then, from the jungle behind them, a demon with a horn on its head and what looked like flames burning in the middle of its chest charged out.

It moved at extreme speed, casually swiping its claw and hurling a basketball-sized fireball over!!

That fireball, radiating scorching heat, was about to slam right into the middle of the Blue Kite squad!

"Falling Moon Slash!"

Su Qinglian at the front of the group let out a sharp cry, twisted her slender body, and with a swing of her sword, slashed out a pale cyan, powerful sword Qi!

Boom!

The sword Qi, over five meters long, precisely struck the fireball, causing it to explode mid-air!

The scorching flames that scattered in all directions after the explosion quickly set the surrounding trees ablaze, and also caused the demon behind them to slow its steps slightly.

But immediately after, behind that demon, three more demons of similar appearance followed out.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The four demons ran at extreme speed, no slower than the five members of the Blue Kite squad riding their mounts!

"The magic power in my body is only enough for me to release three more skills."

Listening to the angry roars of the demons behind, Su Qinglian, being carried by her mount as they raced through the jungle, frowned tightly.

The excitement she had shown earlier was only to encourage her teammates to hold on a little longer.

In reality, she had no confidence at all in this rescue squad.

One had to know that the four demons behind were all Level Silver Rank!

Generally, even an entire squad at Level 23 wouldn't dare to test their edge.

Only squads similar to her own—where everyone was above Level 22 and possessed strength surpassing ordinary professionals—could attempt to kill them.

But how rare were such squads?

So, an ordinary squad, even if it came to rescue.

Would only take a distant look, and if things looked wrong, would immediately flee.

"I hope that squad is a top-tier squad like ours."

At this point, Su Qinglian could only pray that her luck was heaven-defying enough to encounter a top-tier professional squad that could save her team.

The chase continued.

Almost the entire Blue Kite squad was injured, and even their mounts were no exception—several wounds were openly bleeding.

Their running speed was also getting slower and slower.

Logically speaking, those four demons should have caught up long ago.

But they kept following behind, occasionally tossing a fireball to toy with them.

"Captain, how far is the other squad?"

On Bai Hu's back, Zhang Yi asked anxiously.

At this moment, the heavily injured Wen Tianrun had been transferred to her mount, eyes tightly shut, face pale, breathing as faint as a thread.

"Soon, it should be less than 500 meters away."

Su Qinglian hurriedly said.

A distance of 500 meters was already enough for the other squad to see the considerable commotion behind them.

But the other side still chose to keep coming.

That meant they had enough confidence to deal with high-level monsters.

Su Qinglian's suspended heart finally settled down a little.

Even the soreness throughout her body from the intense fighting eased considerably.

"Beep! Beep!"

The smart watch sounded.

This meant that the squad that had sent the aid signal was about to rendezvous with them!

"The aid squad is almost here!"

Su Qinglian's gaze sharpened as she gathered the last remaining magic power in her body.

Of the Blue Kite squad, only she, the team captain, was in the best condition.

Although the magic power in her body was only enough to release two or three B-rank skills.

She was still ready at any moment to cooperate with this rescue squad to kill the four demons behind.

And behind her, the three teammates other than Wen Tianrun looked forward with hopeful gazes.

They saw a tall Swift Wind Wolf burst out from the jungle ahead.

And on its broad back rode a tall figure.

"Why is there only one person?!"

Seeing this scene, Su Qinglian's heart went cold.

And the team members behind her also looked ashen-faced, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

An entire team, even if their strength was a bit lacking, if the other side had a priest who could restore their condition—

Perhaps they could still band together and slay the demons behind them.

But just one person......

Could only be delivering a bit more flesh and blood to the other side.

"Perhaps it's some powerful second-job class changer?"

One of the twin sisters, Zhu Rao, forced a smile and said.

A second-job class changer would almost never linger on the outer edges of the Gale Mountain Range.

But at this point, she could only hope so.

Just then, the younger sister Zhu Dan said hesitantly:

"Why do I feel like this figure looks a bit familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere before?"

"Hmm?"

Su Qinglian hurriedly looked forward.

As the other party drew closer, she finally made out their appearance.

It was a familiar face with sharply defined features and a piercing gaze.

"Zhou Yi?!"

Su Qinglian's pupils contracted. "How could it be him?!"

"Roar!"

The excited roars of the demons behind them were already right at their heels!!

"It's over. I never expected the one who answered the distress signal to actually be Zhou Yi."

On Bai Hu's back, Zhang Yi wore a bitter smile.

And Su Qinglian, at the very front of the team—

After sensing the increasingly close, violent and evil aura behind her, also showed a look of despair on her face.

At this rate, the Qing Yuan Squad was done for.

The entire Qing Yuan Squad had only managed to flee this far under the harassment and pursuit of four demons by clinging to the hope of a rescue team.

Now, upon discovering that the one who had sent the rescue signal was actually Zhou Yi, the level-13 Holy Knight they had met once at the supply base—

The will to survive in their hearts vanished in an instant, replaced by a wave of despair.

"Looks like there's no way to escape. Since that's the case......"

With hope shattered, the captain Su Qinglian was the first to react, her gaze gradually growing firm:

"Zhang Yi, warn Zhou Yi—tell him not to come any closer, and at the same time protect Wen Tianrun and retreat to the back."

"Zhu Rao and Zhu Dan, gather your magic power once more!"

"Even if we die, we must hold these four demons back!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, Zhu Rao and Zhu Dan also understood that there was no way for them to escape.

They might as well stay behind right here, and protect Zhang Yi and Zhou Yi's escape.

So they reined in their mounts, and together with Su Qinglian, prepared for their final struggle.

And although Zhang Yi was extremely reluctant—

He also knew this was the chance the captain had barely managed to create.
