Chapter 254: The Revivers Under Siege
Chapter 254: The Revivers Under Siege
"Lindsey?"
"We'll go and check it out right away!"
Lindsey had already planned to investigate these matters.
With this new development, he had no reason to let it slide.
He casually created two bats to provide surveillance, and the two headed towards the direction of the sound.
The explosion site was very close to the Noble District of the Frozen City.
Lindsey and Hong passed through three manors, and just around the corner was their destination.
However, when they arrived, the situation had changed.
The few yellow dots that were there before were now down to four.
And surrounding them, seven red dots representing Revivers had completely encircled them!
"They're fighting."
Before entering the square to join the battle, Lindsey, being cautious, also wanted to assign a task to Hong.
But before he could say more, the four yellow dots had become three.
—Someone else had died!
Realizing the urgency of the situation, Lindsey wasted no time and drew his bow and arrow, while the enchantment on Silent Edge was also ready.
"Hong, kill all the Revivers you can see."
"The guy they're surrounding might still be useful, so don't kill him along with them."
"..."
Hong didn't say a word, only returning a proud smile.
The next moment, she stomped her foot and shot forward like an arrow, her speed even surpassing Lindsey's!
In the square, a two-story building made of wood and stone bricks had become a ruin.
Just ahead, seven Revivers were besieging the remaining three enemies.
Among the seven Revivers, five were in human form, while the other two were transformed beasts.
The ones being besieged were three humans.
These three humans were injured, and their condition had been completely suppressed by the Revivers, leaving them in a precarious state.
The attacking Revivers occasionally threw weapons imbued with Death's Touch, while also attempting to sway their opponents with words:
"Humans, you don't want to die as miserably as your companions, do you?"
"You can still transform into a form like ours, and now is the best time to keep your bodies intact."
Upon hearing this, one of the three besieged humans' eyes immediately turned red.
Remembering the tragic death of his companion, he clenched his teeth and charged with his longsword towards the Reviver who had spoken.
"Filthy creature, you shall not!"
Crack!
The sword pierced the Reviver's body, but the Reviver neither dodged nor avoided it.
The enraged human, though skilled, did not possess Life or Death essence arts.
He couldn't deliver a fatal blow by decapitation or piercing the heart.
For a Reviver, this was a negligible minor injury.
After blocking the opponent's weapon with his chest, the Reviver quickly thrust forward.
"Ah!"
The human's left hand was struck.
The grayish-white Death's Touch immediately spread up along the palm.
He quickly retreated, and without hesitation, he swung his sword to cut off his entire arm, stopping the spread of Death's Touch.
"Ah Hui!"
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the other two human companions fought with all their might, repelling the enemies in front of them, and protecting their companion who had lost an arm.
"Ah Hui, calm down!"
"We still need to get the news out from here, we can't die here!"
Looking at their struggling companion, the Reviver with a pierced chest revealed a cruel smile:
"Get the news out from here?"
"No matter how long it takes, there will always be those who hope for the impossible..."
Whoosh!
A wooden spear instantly appeared on the Reviver's face, its speed unimaginable.
The threat materialized as soon as the sound was heard.
The next moment, the Reviver's head was pierced, and the force carried its body backward, slamming it into the cobblestones of the square with a 'boom', finally silencing it.
At this moment, the square was so quiet that even the sound of a drop of water could be heard.
Then, the other Revivers shouted:
"There are more enemies!"
"Find them and slaughter them all."
The other Revivers realized there were new enemies present.
With their rich combat experience, they immediately formed a corresponding formation. But just then, they discovered a startling situation.
There were originally seven of them, but now only five remained! Not including the one who had been instantly killed by the iron spear.
In complete silence, a pitch-black arrow was embedded in the head of a Beast-form Reviver.
The Reviver fell to the ground, motionless.
It was a one-hit kill!
"Did any of you hear that?"
"The Wood Guest?"
Before the Revivers could finish exchanging opinions,
In the next second, Hong charged out from the street, her scorching dual pupils fixed on the Revivers.
These Revivers at the base were all skilled fighters.
So Hong didn't create too many weapon shadows, but instead, focused her attack, channeling a single, powerful strike.
"Hahaha—"
"Die!"
Amidst the girl's maniacal laughter, another iron spear was thrown out."
This time, the Revivers witnessed the enemy's attack.
The spear was too fast to dodge, but some were prepared to resist.
One of them stepped forward, holding his weapon horizontally across his chest, intending to block the spear.
Boom! The spear and the metal weapon collided.
But in the next second, to the Reviver's astonishment, the spear instantly shattered his weapon, then pierced through his chest and abdomen, pinning him to the square's cobblestones.
Immediately, the power of Death's Touch took effect.
Even though it didn't hit a vital spot, the powerful technique caused his deformed life to lose its vitality instantly, and he became motionless in the blink of an eye.
"..."
"Is this... Death's Touch?"
The other Revivers, of course, recognized Hong's ability.
After all, they also used this power.
And among them was one who had died in ancient times and had revived again today. He recognized Hong's appearance.
"Master?"
The Crown of Annihilation was right before their eyes, and this Reviver was momentarily stunned.
"You recognized me? Then die obediently!"
What greeted him was Hong's thrown spear.
The fear and pressure made this Reviver dare not even think of resisting, and he stood there, forcibly annihilated!
At this moment, there were only three Revivers left in the square.
The ones who had held the advantage just a second ago now found themselves with the same number as the humans they had surrounded.
If you counted Lin Sai and Hong.
The Revivers, who had originally besieged the humans, now found themselves besieged instead!
"If the battle drags on too long, we'll prioritize self-preservation and retreat."
Lin Sai, at the edge of the square, had originally planned to say this during the fight.
But seeing Hong's exaggerated killing posture, he swallowed back all his prepared orders.
Instead, he provided support with his shooting, taking down the remaining three Revivers.
After the battle, Lin Sai checked the map.
In just the blink of an eye,
In the distance, there were other Revivers preparing to reinforce their companions.
Lin Sai gestured to Hong, indicating their retreat.
As for the three Revivers with shocked expressions, they had just realized their predicament, rising from hell to heaven in an instant.
Lin Sai simply shouted, "Quick, follow us!"
"These zombies have other support. Let's leave this place first!"
