138: Using someone else to do his dirty work! This undercover agent is a devil!
"Pfft!"
A member of the Hunter Guild, unable to dodge in time, was struck by a Gargoyle's fist.
His chest caved in, and he flew backward.
As his body hit the ground, a bloody light shot up into the sky, merging into the giant blood-red eye above.
That giant eye became even redder, its malevolence making people shudder.
"Form up! Don't you dare run around!" a burly man with a full beard and a huge axe roared in anger.
He was the captain leading the team from the Demon City Hunter Guild, a C-rank Peak, and his temper was as fiery as his axe.
"Everyone get over here! Back-to-back defense!"
The instinct for survival finally overcame their mutual hostility.
The remaining forces from various factions converged towards the center of the hall, haphazardly forming a defensive formation.
Lin Yuan and Scorpion Sting, along with a few other Apocalypse Society members who had just been abandoned, also slipped in amidst the chaos.
"Who are you people?" a Wudang Disciple asked warily, gripping his sword tightly.
"Hmph, who cares who they are, we're all in the same boat now!" the bearded strongman roared, "If you don't want to die, then put in some effort!"
No one raised any further objections.
Over twenty Gargoyles had already surrounded them.
Battle was imminent!
"Kill!"
Zhao Junwei's eyes were bloodshot, and he immediately locked onto Scorpion Sting and Lin Yuan, who were mixed in the crowd.
Enemies meeting made his eyes burn with rage, but he knew even more clearly that the main enemies now were these unkillable stone lumps!
He slashed with his sword, and the sharp Sword Qi forced a Gargoyle to retreat repeatedly.
Inside the hall, energy explosions rang out, and Sword Qi crisscrossed.
Lin Yuan continued to perfectly play the role of the fearless "reckless youth."
He roared and charged at the front, relying on his "Strength Enhancement" to clash head-on with a Gargoyle, creating loud thumping sounds.
He appeared incredibly brave, but in reality, he was frantically slacking off.
His Electromagnetic Induction had long since pinpointed Night Crow's position in the shadows.
That old fellow, he was quite good at hiding.
Lin Yuan sneered inwardly, "intensely brawling" with the Gargoyle while rapidly scanning the entire battle situation.
Got it!
He saw that on the other side of the battlefield, two Gargoyles had just dealt with an unlucky fellow and were roaring as they searched for their next target.
And they were perfectly in a straight line with the cave where Night Crow was hiding!
There was only one chance!
"Now!"
A "fierce light" flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he let out a thunderous roar at the Gargoyle in front of him!
"Get... out of my way!"
He threw a punch, with more force than any previous one!
"Bang!"
That Gargoyle was sent flying backward by his punch, also knocking over its companion behind it.
Lin Yuan himself, using the recoil, also flew backward!
His direction of flight was precisely towards those two Gargoyles that had just become free!
"Brother A Li!"
Scorpion Sting exclaimed when he saw this scene.
Everyone thought that Lin Yuan had used too much force and had directly sent himself to the gates of hell!
"Oh no!"
Lin Yuan was in mid-air, his face showing "panic."
He "flusteredly" tried to stabilize himself but ended up crashing into the attack range of those two Gargoyles.
"Roar—!"
Those two Gargoyles, seeing the "delivery" coming right to them, simultaneously smashed down at Lin Yuan!
It's over!
This was the only thought in everyone's mind.
Lin Yuan, in mid-air, saw no way to avoid it and could only let out a roar.
He crossed his arms, bracing himself to block the punch from one of the Gargoyles!
"Bang—!"
With a muffled thud, Lin Yuan felt a massive force, and he was sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the dark cave entrance and rolling several times before stopping.
"Cough, cough... Pfft..."
Lin Yuan "tremblingly" supported himself on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of "fresh blood," his acting completely natural.
But as he looked up, he saw the two increasingly furious Gargoyles charging towards him!
The color drained from Lin Yuan's face.
"No... don't come over!"
He scrambled to turn around and plunged into the dark cave entrance behind him, fleeing for his life!
"Help me—!"
"My Lord! Lord Night Crow! Save me!"
Lin Yuan's screams echoed through the passage, sending chills down people's spines... In the shadows of the passage.
Night Crow's figure was silently lurking.
When he saw Lin Yuan being "knocked flying" over, his brows furrowed.
When he heard Lin Yuan's pig-like cries for help, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Idiot.
Only now thinking of asking for help? Too late.
He had no intention of acting, even preparing to retreat deeper into the shadows to avoid being affected by the monsters this fool had attracted.
However, the next second.
Night Crow's expression changed.
He saw that idiot named A Li scrambling straight towards his hiding place!
And behind A Li, the two Gargoyles were in hot pursuit.
"Damn it!"
Night Crow cursed inwardly, his composure somewhat breaking.
This idiot! Why would he run this way?!
A coincidence?
No, that's not right!
Night Crow dismissed the idea.
His hiding spot was an absolute blind spot; this newcomer couldn't possibly have discovered him!
No time to think!
Night Crow immediately activated his invisibility device and moved to another position.
But just then!
Lin Yuan, who was fleeing for his life, suddenly "stumbled," and he fell forward in a dog-eating-shit posture!
It was this movement!
That slowed Night Crow's action by 0.1 seconds!
He watched with wide eyes as the two Gargoyles got closer and closer to him!
"Damn it!"
Night Crow no longer hesitated, turning and darting deeper into the passage!
But he had only rushed out less than three meters!
"Boom—!!!"
In the passage ahead of him, a stone wall blocked all his escape routes!
Night Crow's face changed drastically, and he quickly slammed on the brakes.
But the two Gargoyles behind him, because of their momentum, had no time to stop!
"Bang! Bang!"
The two war machines crashed squarely into Night Crow's back!
"Pfft—!"
Night Crow spewed out a mouthful of old blood, completely stunned!
The invisibility field on him crackled and shattered!
His figure was exposed in the air, his face turning green!
"Roar?"
The two Gargoyles were also stunned for a moment, not understanding how a person had suddenly appeared before them.
But the monsters' instinct immediately locked onto this new target as an enemy!
And at this moment.
Lin Yuan also climbed up from the ground.
He looked back, completely bewildered.
"My... My Lord?!" Lin Yuan's face first showed confusion, "How are you here?!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the two Gargoyles roaring and pouncing towards Night Crow.
Lin Yuan's face changed drastically.
"Beasts! How dare you harm my Lord!" He let out an angry roar.
"Don't be afraid, My Lord, I'm coming to save you!"
