Chapter 6: Desperate situation!

Desperate situation!

Xia Wan was the first to sense the enemy's approach from behind.

Her eyes suddenly narrowed, emitting a rich life-green light. Her left hand flipped to take out a jade-green longbow, her right hand pinched an arrow out of thin air, and she turned back to shoot. An arrow emitting a green light whistled toward the sky.

"Boom—"

The arrow exploded in the air, blooming with spores all over the sky.

The terror demon army had no scruples and rushed over against the spores all over the sky.

And the moment the spores touched the flesh, they turned into countless fine threads like dodder, entangling all the terror demons that broke into this area and binding them into "cocoons."

The terror demons that lost the flapping of their wings fell one after another and smashed heavily on the ground.

The ground was covered with 【Creation Grass Seeds】. After these terror demons touched the grass seeds, their bellies swelled rapidly. After only a few breaths, it seemed that something began to struggle desperately outward in their bellies.

The hunter's trap combo was very smooth, and the double control effect was also very obvious. The vanguard of the terror demons didn't reach the front of the crowd for the first time.

But even if Xia Wan shot like rain, she could only block a limited number of terror demons.

The number of enemies was really too many. The shadow like a locust plague exhausted the spores in the air before long and rushed toward the place where everyone was again.

"It's too late! Assassin, pay attention to protecting yourself, everyone else come behind me!"

Chen Chong shouted, took down the giant shield on his body, covered the light on the shield, and slammed the shield tip into the rubble in front of him.

He stared and roared: "Order lasts forever!"

The giant shield, which was already glowing with faint light, surged in response. The dazzling holy light swept up like a waterfall flowing backward, and after drawing a perfect arc in the high altitude, it poured down, rapidly extending to both sides of the crowd.

The trajectory drawn by the light was shaped like a huge city wall, protecting Cheng Shi and the others tightly inside.

"Ya—Sa—"

"Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—"

The terror demon army that blocked out the sun rushed down and hit the city wall formed by the giant shield one after another, making a heavy roar, but the light curtain didn't move at all, and the people inside were as stable as a mountain.

Chen Chong's expression was solemn, the veins on his arms bulged, and he pressed the shield without daring to move.

"There are too many terror demons. The Holy Light City Wall can only support for 5 minutes. With the blessing of dual priests, it can be extended to 15 minutes at most. Hurry up and think of a way, otherwise don't talk about 24 hours, we will all have to explain it here in 15 minutes!"

It could be heard that Chen Chong was very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious now, because there were really too many enemies.

Nangong was restoring Cao Sansui's mental strength on the side. Her healing spell was very effective, and Cao Sansui had escaped from the withered state.

"The Progeny Priest's healing output is high. As long as you control the 'newborn' on your body, you should be able to hold on for a while longer."

Although Cao Sansui was cheering up his teammates, his heart was cold.

He didn't expect the rhythm of this trial to be so fast, and the enemy's movements to be so fierce. Even the 2000-point trial he matched before hadn't been this fierce.

The highest score among the people in this trial was himself, only 1900.

The lowest was even less than 1400. What kind of ability did he have to attract such a large-scale terror demon army?

Those who didn't know would think this was a 2100-point match.

Everyone's expression was very solemn. With the protection of the Holy Light City Wall, Xia Wan didn't continue to shoot, but was accumulating strength to recover. Nangong, whose face was a bit pale, had a different look in her eyes. She frowned and another healing spell fell on Xia Wan.

Xia Wan was slightly surprised, nodded to Nangong, felt the rich recovery power in her body, and reached out to materialize a few spore arrows again.

On the other hand, the other priest, Cheng Shi, just sat on the ground, looking around, like a slacker.

To be honest, Cheng Shi also had a headache. It wasn't that he hadn't seen this kind of scene, but he truly hadn't seen it with teammates of such low scores.

He was racking his brains thinking about how to use the cards in his hand to escape this predicament.

In the past high-score matches, all players' combat power was very strong. When encountering a crisis, the tricks they came up with were one after another, and they could always find various ways to get out of trouble.

Besides their rich combat experience, the most important thing was having confidence and ability!

This was also the reason why the 【Path to Divinity】 (Ladder) score seemed very important.

Because at the end of each month, the 【Path to Divinity】 would conduct an additional settlement, and players of different segments would receive different rewards.

These rewards were all-encompassing, from supplies to equipment, from talents to skills, everything.

And the higher the rank, the greater the probability of high-grade rewards appearing.

Since the basic skills between the same professions were almost indistinguishable, the only thing that could distinguish the flows of different players was the various talent skills and equipment items chosen when players built their own combat power.

Chen Chong's shield-sword, both offensive and defensive, had a special bonus for light-curtain defensive skills, which came from the A-grade reward of the ladder.

Chen Chong, holding the shield, saw that the terror demons on the outside almost blocked all directions of the light curtain, covering the entire shield protection space in darkness, and his expression became increasingly anxious.

The brows of the others were also tightly furrowed, secretly tightening their heartstrings, ready for the worst preparation.

At this moment, everyone had fallen into a desperate situation.

And the trial had only started for less than 1 hour.

"Will we... die?" Nangong's small hands were clenched white.

No one responded to her, and even Chen Chong just gathered his spirit to maintain the Holy Light City Wall, striving for a little more time for everyone to think about how to break the situation.

No one responded to her; even Chen Chong merely focused all his energy on maintaining the Wall of Holy Light, buying everyone a little more time to think of a way to break the deadlock.

The atmosphere hit rock bottom.

Everyone was racking their brains, but still couldn't think of any way to get out, and the shield protection fell silent.

But just at this moment, Cheng Shi suddenly spoke:

"Where is Song Yawen, is he still alive?"

Song Yawen had shadow concealment and didn't need shield protection, but shadow concealment wasn't unlimited in time. As long as he moved slightly, he would be spat out of the shadow plane and appear before people.

But having said that, a mature assassin could last for a long time, at least longer than 5 minutes.

Song Yawen didn't speak, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.

He was currently squatting under a broken wall outside the Holy Light City Wall. That broken wall was crowded with bloodthirsty terror demons, at least seventeen or eighteen of them.

"He shouldn't be dead..."

Cheng Shi wasn't concerned about him, but was thinking about countermeasures.

He knew that the assassin's exclusive skill was "Death Funeral." If Song Yawen was still alive, they might have a chance to escape.

Just as "Holy Light City Wall" was the exclusive skill of the Order Knight, "Death Funeral" was the exclusive skill bestowed upon assassins who believed in 【Death】.

The effect of this skill was to summon a huge death sickle in the "Death Domain" and perform a must-hit death strike on all targets in the domain.

But because the construction of the "Death Domain" was too harsh and required collecting a large amount of breath of the newly dead in a limited space, very few 【Death】 assassins would use this skill.

Once they wanted to use it, they couldn't hit and retreat like other assassin professions, but needed to lurk in the shadows and continuously create slaughter.

Finally, one strike to finish.

This kind of close-range killing game that required continuous maintenance was very unfavorable for assassins and carried great risks.

But similarly, the rewards were high.

Because Death Funeral was a must-hit.

It was also because of this that 【Death】 assassins were called "Death Weavers," living up to their name.

However, facing such a terrifying number of terror demon armies, Song Yawen's Death Funeral had no chance to be displayed at all.

As long as he showed his head, the first to die wouldn't be the terror demons, but definitely himself.

So Song Yawen was hiding in the shadows at this moment, not daring to make any moves at all.

But he didn't dare, which didn't mean Cheng Shi didn't dare. ===== CHAPTER 7 =====

But just because he didn't dare, it didn't mean Cheng Shi didn't.
