Chapter 1484 True Face and Powerlessness
"The Lord's protection!"
At this critical moment, Xiao Jie, who had been ready for a long time, had energy surging all over her body, and an absolute defense barrier flashing with a faint golden glow instantly appeared, protecting our group.
In the next second, those slender roots like sharp blades whizzed out from the darkness and pierced directly into the glittering wall of the barrier.
boom! boom! boom!
The moment the slender roots touched the barrier wall, a deafening roar of energy rang out. Each strike of those slender roots was like a magical artillery fire, stirring up a strong wave of energy on the barrier wall.
With the continuous bombardment, cracks appeared on the wall of the barrier almost in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the pink hooded man, Fleming, Youyou and Lei Xiao all joined in providing energy, so it did not collapse immediately.
But even though all of our members were on the battlefield to maintain the barrier, with each bombardment, everyone on our side felt as if they were hit hard, and their faces became paler and paler.
At this moment, even Old Guy, who is a strong physical warrior, could see that if the situation continued like this, it would not be long before our group, exhausted, would be defeated and killed.
It is worth mentioning that along with the opponent's bombardment, the lanterns in our hands were all shattered, but the golden light balls in them were still suspended around everyone, enough to illuminate the surrounding scene.
However, although the suspended golden ball of light looked quite magical, facing the opponent's unscrupulous attack, the group had no time to sigh about such trivial matters.
"Everyone, we must turn passivity into initiative."
Just when everyone was getting anxious and worried, Lei Xiao's calm and firm voice rang in their ears.
"But how to do it exactly?"
The pink hooded man inquired, his voice noticeably trembling.
"Of course we should spread out and continuously attack the opponent's weak points."
Lei Xiao's gaze fell on his opponent's row of bloodshot eyes and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone understood and reacted quickly.
The former was right. Judging from the situation just now, the opponent's rows of blood eyes obviously possessed extremely strong spellcasting capabilities, and might even be a special magical weapon.
If it can be destroyed, it will definitely slow down the opponent's offensive to a considerable extent.
Furthermore, only by dispersing ourselves can we distract the enemy's attention to the greatest extent possible and avoid the current predicament where all our members are attacked and imprisoned.
Of course, facing an opponent with unfathomable strength, our scattered people also face the risk of being defeated one by one. But since there is no chance to attack if we gather together, we can only force our way out in this way.
In addition, Lei Xiao has also calculated that even if they are scattered, as long as they are still around the giant body of the demon, his divine power will be enough to cover other strong men on our side.
"I see. Then I will take the lead."
The pink hooded man calmed his mind and his aura became stronger. He waved his staff and the space around the group began to distort again.
As the space distortion intensified, the opponent's continuous bombardment began to slow down, just like countless slender roots piercing into cotton, the power and speed were greatly affected.
"It's now!"
The pink hooded man pointed to the gap in the back and warned everyone, "Spread out from there!"
Hearing the sound, our group, who had been ready for a long time, took advantage of the slowdown in the opponent's attack and acted quickly. They flew out together and quickly escaped from the opponent's attack range through the gap in space.
As they broke away, the group quickly split into three forces and scattered in the darkness. They were Lei Xiao and the two stone elves Xiaojie and Xiaojing, Fleming, Old Gary and Youyou, and the pink hooded man himself.
Then, under Lei Xiao's command, our people cooperated tacitly, attacking left and right, while the strongest man in the pink hood stepped on the void and attacked directly towards the devil's blood-red eyes.
"A bunch of ants! Just struggling in vain!"
Looking at our sudden action, the giant black shadow sneered calmly, and the dense and slender roots burst out from the darkness again, roaring towards our three forces respectively.
"Well!"
Fleming, Old Guy and Youyou, who were the first to come into contact with the slender roots, had almost no power to resist. They were easily knocked away and then fell heavily to the ground.
After Lei Xiao took the two stone elves into his arms, he used methods such as [Lightning Illusion Body] and [Sky Thunder Attraction] to increase his speed and dash left and right among the rapidly attacking roots. The sound of the roots breaking through the air kept ringing in his ears, making the whole scene dangerous.
However, when Lei Xiao was only a hundred meters away from his opponent, he was accidentally knocked away. Fortunately, Lei Xiao had various top-level buffs and the power of God's favor to dissipate the enemy's power, so he was not affected too much.
During this process, Lei Xiao also activated a number of sixth-order single-target attack magic scrolls with extremely strong penetrating power, and whizzed them towards the opponent. However, they were like a stone sinking into the sea, and were soon annihilated in the endless darkness, without any effect at all.
Just as the attacks from the left and right sides were resolved by the opponent, the pink hooded man was only a few dozen meters away from the opponent and had already finished chanting quickly.
"Space Judgment Blade!"
The pink hooded man held up his staff, and a vast aura surged around him.
With his staff as the core, a fifty or sixty-meter-long, translucent gray giant sword quickly formed in mid-air. Then, accompanied by the pink hooded man's sudden swing, it slashed straight towards the opponent's bloody eyes.
For a moment, the space was distorted and shattered wherever the gray giant sword went. The momentum was extremely shocking, especially on the surface of the gray giant sword, there was a faint golden energy glow surging, which was naturally the power of divine favor shared by Lei Xiao.
Noticing this scene, the other people on our side who were knocked away all opened their eyes wide, with a hint of excitement on their faces. Judging from the strong and majestic momentum emanating from the giant sword, it was enough to cut a fortress in half!
"You are just a pink ant, how dare you show off your skills in front of an expert!"
A very disdainful snort came from the giant black shadow, and the giant black shadow's body moved slightly, and suddenly stretched out a tall black outline that was as long as the giant sword, somewhat like a giant black scimitar, and went straight to meet the giant sword of the pink hooded man.
Because the opponent's move came too unexpectedly, the pink hooded man was surprised, but he could not turn back and had to grit his teeth and choose to fight the opponent head-on.
boom!
The two giant blades soon collided with each other in mid-air, making a deafening noise and creating a wave of energy that was enough to blow away a dragon.
When the collision sounded, Lei Xiao clearly saw that at the beginning, the pink hooded man's giant sword was enough to compete with the opponent's giant scimitar, but after only a moment, something strange happened.
The opponent unexpectedly swung out another identical giant blade from the darkness and slashed at him again.
Click!
Under the combined effect of the two giant blades, the giant sword of the pink hooded man instantly fell apart and quickly dissipated into the air.
Killing intent spread wildly in the darkness, and the opponent's giant blades did not stop there. Instead, they intertwined with each other, drawing a deadly X-shaped trajectory, and continued to whiz towards the petite body of the pink hooded man.
"Void Shield!"
In a panic, the translucent space barrier once again condensed in front of the pink hooded man, trying to block the opponent's blade.
However, how could the hastily condensed space barrier stop the opponent's two giant blades? It didn't even last for a moment before it shattered, exposing the body of the pink hooded man again.
boom!
This time, the two giant blades smashed into the energy barrier surrounding the pink hooded man almost at the same time, directly blasting him away.
Seeing this, a feeling of powerlessness emerged on everyone's faces. They didn't expect that such an attack could be easily resolved by the opponent.
At this moment, Lei Xiao could even clearly see the pink hooded man's energy barrier shattered and transformed back into energy particles in mid-air.
Looking at the body of the pink hooded man falling heavily to the ground like a rag bag, Lei Xiao, who had just adjusted his body shape, turned into a purple light and shot out again, catching the former in his arms before the former fell to the ground.
In a hurry, Lei Xiao noticed that the pink hood that had been covering the other party's face had slipped off, revealing a delicate pale face and a pair of tall pointed ears. With these two features, the other party's origin was self-evident.
"She's actually a female elf? She's not decorated with gold, she's not a light elf, her skin isn't gray, and she's not a dark elf either. So, is she a forest elf?"
"And the hoarse voice before should be just a disguise. After all, judging from his petite figure, he is definitely not a strong man, and he doesn't look like a tall dwarf."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and immediately asked the pink hooded man in his arms: "How is it, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
A crisp voice rang out. At this moment, the person in the pink hood no longer cared about her disguise. She wiped the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth and quickly jumped out of Lei Xiao's arms.
It was obvious that her fair face was filled with a bit of embarrassment. It was no wonder. After all, she was a respected half-step seventh-level warrior, but she was held in Lei Xiao's arms, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
But both she and Lei Xiao clearly understood that with a powerful enemy at hand, their lives were at stake, and now was obviously not the time to dwell on these things.
Just as the pink hooded man's feet touched the ground, the giant black shadow's attack was already following closely.
I saw countless slender roots piercing through the darkness, shooting out from all directions again with fierce murderous intent.
"Human boy, leave it to me!"
The pink hooded man was just about to push Lei Xiao away, but he found that the space around Lei Xiao was distorted and he disappeared in front of him in an instant.
The man in the pink hood was not unfamiliar with this method, as it was the opponent's spatial pull.
"It turns out these roots are just a cover!"
Helplessly, the pink hooded man had to dodge the opponent's attack first and had no time to care about Lei Xiao who was pulled by the space. The latter only felt that the space around him was illusory, and when everything solidified again, he was already very close to the giant black shadow.
At this distance, with the help of the golden light ball that was still following him, Lei Xiao finally saw the other party's true face.
I saw that the opponent's giant body was covered with those black, slender roots. The countless roots were wriggling and swaying strangely in the air, which looked extremely terrifying.
Around the opponent's giant body, there were four pairs of giant legs bent like giant trees. At the front, there were two sharp blades dozens of meters long, which were the weapons that had just knocked the pink hooded man away.
At this point, the opponent's appearance is self-explanatory. It looks like a giant spider with roots all over its body, and the two sharp blades at the front are a pair of chelicerae!
"No wonder there are so many blood-red eyes on the other side's head. It turns out to be so hideous and terrifying."
Lei Xiao looked up at the giant dark body with countless roots dancing in the air, and suddenly felt a cold sweat breaking out.
According to the records in ancient documents, although Lei Xiao already knew that demons had different appearances and many were very similar to Warcraft, the nightmare-like scene before him still made him tremble.
All this happened in a flash. Faced with this sudden change, Lei Xiao had just seen the other party's appearance clearly, and his feet were not idle. The energy around him was surging, and he wanted to distance himself from the other party.
However, the opponent's speed was obviously faster. The countless roots all over his body made a "whooshing" sound in the air and came towards Lei Xiao.
Seeing that the lord was in danger, Xiao Jie appeared again and set up an absolute defense barrier, but the opponent did not attack directly. Instead, he used the countless roots to wrap up the absolute defense barrier and Lei Xiao.
For a moment, Lei Xiao's surroundings became pitch black, and except for the small space within the barrier, he completely lost his vision of the surroundings.
Lei Xiao had encountered this kind of desperate experience before at "Eclipse", but at that time, relying on the special power of the stone elves, he easily broke through the influence of "Eclipse".
But this time, no matter how Lei Xiao used the power of divine favor and that special force to cast spells or slash, he still couldn't break through the opponent's restraints. These slender roots were extremely tough, as if they were immune to all attacks.
"Human ants, it's time to stop playing around and become nutrients for me!"
As the opponent's murderous voice fell, Lei Xiao felt himself being lifted up from the ground and it was difficult for him to stand firmly for a while.
Outside of the restraints, the pink hooded man, Old Guy and the others all tried to come to the rescue when they saw the situation, but they were quickly disturbed by other roots attacking from the opponent and were unable to escape for a while.
At this critical moment, the pink hooded man, Old Guy and others clearly saw that the wrapped Lei Xiao was lifted high and sent straight to the demon's head with blood-red eyes. (End of this chapter)
