Chapter 620: A tragic victory
Chapter 620: A tragic victory
"No... Damn it..." Griffith gasped, "That sword is definitely not just a golden item!"
He didn't bother to check his injuries. He used the force of sliding to crawl to his feet, not even daring to look back.
He injected all of his remaining magic power into the ice path beneath his feet and fled for his life towards the darkness far away from the battlefield like a stray dog!
His back looks so disheveled, there is no trace of the composure of a great wizard at all!
Xiao Jin wanted to continue chasing, but Griffith threw a spherical machine behind him.
When Xiao Jin sensed the flying object, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he stopped decisively and retreated hundreds of meters.
She even activated the skill of her boots, and disappeared from the spot in a flash...
In fact, it was because Xiao Jin sensed a huge, violent energy on the metal sphere. This energy was constantly compressed and would soon rebound and pour out.
Sure enough, the next second, a huge flame suddenly spread out in all directions with the metal sphere as the center.
The heat wave engulfed everything in the range, including the players fighting inside, who were vaporized by the high temperature before they could even react.
The flying snow in the sky turned into raindrops, which quickly disappeared when they landed on the ground...
Griffith's escape was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Not only Xiao Jin, but even the players from Country Y did not expect this.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, a shrill scream broke through the noise.
Maureen, the enchanting and beautiful blonde woman, was now flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.
Her charm and gun skills, which she was so proud of, seemed as fragile as a joke in the face of absolute speed and strength.
Her opponent is the petite girl with a ponytail from Country Z - Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi's movements were so fast that only afterimages were left behind!
She didn't use any weapons at all. Her legs in black Martin boots were like two indestructible battle axes! The wind from her legs was fierce, with a whistling sound that tore through the air!
The shield device that Maureen hastily threw out was shattered by Bai Zhi's extremely sharp side kick, as easily as breaking glass!
Before the shattered ice crystals fell to the ground, Bai Zhi's figure had already slid in like a ghost, and her other leg swung like a poisonous scorpion's tail, kicking Maureen's soft belly from bottom to top with terrifying explosive power!
"puff--!"
A dull, teeth-grinding thud sounded! The fear and pain on Maureen's face froze instantly, and her eyes bulged out!
She could even clearly feel an overwhelming force penetrating her body, and her internal organs seemed to be crushed and smashed by an invisible giant hand!
Blood mixed with internal organ fragments gushed out of her mouth and nose uncontrollably!
"No...how can it be...wrong..."
Her body was like a broken sack. She was kicked several meters into the air by the violent kick, and then fell heavily to the ground. She twitched twice and then became silent.
Those eyes that were once full of temptation and calculation were now filled with dead emptiness.
"The captain ran away! Sister Maureen is dead!"
"Boss Karim and the poison master are also...finished!"
"Monsters! Country Z is full of monsters! Run!"
After witnessing Griffith's embarrassed escape, Maureen's tragic death, and the slaughterhouse-like scene on Xiao Jin's side, the last bit of fighting spirit of the remaining players from Country Y completely collapsed!
Fear spreads like a plague!
They no longer cared about the mission or cooperation. Like ants in an exploded nest, they screamed in fear and turned around to run away without hesitation, wishing their parents had not given them two more legs!
The noisy battlefield quickly fell into an eerie silence as the players from Country Y fled.
The wind swept across the land filled with a strong smell of blood and burning, blowing up scattered pieces of cloth and burning ashes. But soon, the wind and snow raged again, burying all traces.
Although the players from Country Y were driven away, it cannot be said that the players from Country Z won.
Xiao Jin glanced around and saw that there were less than ten people still standing, and almost all of them were injured.
The war totem pole representing their camp stood alone at the edge of the battlefield, with marks of knife and axe cuts all over the pole.
A striking crack ran through half of the column, symbolizing that it had endured a huge attack and its durability dropped by 15%.
The dim light flowed through the cracks with difficulty, as if it would go out at any time.
Under their feet and within a few dozen meters around them, there were more than 20 bodies of players from Country Y. Many of them escaped with serious injuries like Griffith, leaving intermittent bloody footprints on the ground.
It was a victory, but a pyrrhic one, at a cost so high that it was suffocating.
Bai Zhi slowly retracted the leg that had kicked Maureen to death. There was a little blood on her delicate face, and her originally lively eyes were now cold and murderous.
She walked to the totem pole, stretched out her bloody hand, gently stroked the cracks on the pole, and frowned.
"This is just the first wave of attacks, and they have caused so much damage."
The player next to him looked serious: "I don't know if the damage to the totem pole will have any impact on the activation. It is better to contact others as soon as possible."
Yes, such a big thing happened here, everyone should know about it.
Besides, the hunting party had been gone for a long time, and if things continued like this, it would be better to change shifts.
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi took a deep breath and took something out of her personal space.
It was a palm-sized, exquisite incense burner carved entirely from white jade, with mysterious cloud patterns engraved on the body of the burner.
She didn't say anything, but just gently placed the incense burner on the blood-stained soil at her feet, then gathered a faint light from her fingertips and lit it on the top of the incense burner.
"Om..."
With a subtle sound, the white jade incense burner began to vibrate slightly, and from the tiny holes on the cover, wisps of milky white mist with a faint scent of plants and trees slowly drifted out.
The fog was not thick, but extremely dense. It spread rapidly as if it had life, forming a misty circle with a diameter of about 20 meters, covering the remaining players from Country Z and the injured totem pole.
Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, but did not leave cautiously like the other players. Instead, he reached out and touched the mist in front of him.
As soon as the mist touches the skin, it brings a cool and refreshing feeling.
Xiao Jin only felt that the burning pain and spiciness in his wounds were significantly reduced, and his exhausted body seemed to be injected with a trace of warm current, and his exhausted physical strength was slowly but continuously recovering.
Even breathing became much smoother, and the feeling of deficiency of qi and blood was being filled up little by little.
