Chapter 889 Shock
"Wow, this skill is so cool! I wish I could learn it in the future~" Lena's eyes were full of envy.
After arriving not far from the village, everyone stopped to observe the situation in front of them. They saw several fully armed men trying to break through the simple defense circle formed by the villagers, and there were wounded people lying in pools of blood on both sides.
"We have to think of a way to save people quickly..." Melina said anxiously with a frown.
"Don't worry, follow my instructions and act according to the plan." Allen carefully arranged the tasks. "Asir will be responsible for protecting Melina; Lena, you and I will rush to the front line; Mei'er and the mysterious sister will follow at the end to provide support... and the new friend should also come with us, after all, we have strength in numbers."
Hearing this, Ilya just smiled and agreed without saying anything more. So the team quickly dispersed and each of them took up their own duties in the upcoming new battle...
Just as they were about to launch an attack, a loud shout of killing suddenly came from the village in the distance, accompanied by the sound of metal colliding. Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, wondering how strong the enemy's force was.
"It seems that time is running out, we can't delay any longer!" Allen gave the order decisively, "Act according to the plan!"
At this moment, several survivors in the village discovered the reinforcements. They were so surprised that they shouted for help: "Heroes, come and help us! We are almost dying!"
One of the villagers was even more shocked when he saw the mysterious girl next to Melina, "Oh my God... is that really the Saint? This is great, we are saved!"
“Lady Saint?” Lena glanced at her friend curiously, then waved her dagger and shouted, “Yes, we are here! Hold on!”
Instantly, the tense atmosphere in the air reached its peak. In the center of the village, the mysterious girl took a deep breath, then gently spread her arms, and a dazzling light shone around her...
Just as everyone was holding their breath waiting for the mysterious girl's move, the light gradually spread, as warm and bright as the dawn. The villagers' expressions changed from despair to surprise, and they all looked up at the sky, as if even the battle had temporarily stopped.
Suddenly, a voice rang out on the battlefield. It was Su Mei'er, who had been silent before. "Melina, are you really okay?" Her tone was uneasiness, but more trust and support. Faced with such a scene, no one knew what this gentle and powerful healer would do next.
"Don't worry." Melina responded to her friend softly, with a slight smile on her face. "This is the power given to us by the God of the Forest, to protect those innocent lives..." Before she finished speaking, she had already put her palms together, and as she chanted a low and powerful spell, a faint green light began to gather in the air, slowly flowing until it formed a soft but powerful energy ball. This energy seemed gentle and harmless, but in fact it was a powerful force that could dispel evil spirits and purify all things.
At the same time, at the entrance of the village, Allen and Lena had already made preparations for the assault. "Are you ready, Pepper?" The young warrior smiled and looked at his eager companions. "Of course, don't forget that I can fight much better than you!" The blonde girl retorted while showing off the short knife in her hand, which shone coldly in the sun.
The two smiled at each other and rushed out of the bushes at the same time, heading straight for the enemy camp. Just as they were approaching the enemy, Allen suddenly swung his right hand forward, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up, sweeping across the battlefield; and behind him, Lena took advantage of the momentum to accelerate, her body turned into a lightning in the gust of wind, and stabbed the target enemy's heart with incredible precision...
On the other side, Aser, who was in charge of the support mission, was also not idle. When he saw the situation in front of him getting tense, he immediately drew out the longbow behind him and quickly aimed the arrow at a bandit leader who was trying to escape in the distance. "Hey, where are you running!" There was a "whoosh" sound, and then the guy fell to the ground - hit in the right shoulder!
The villagers' morale was boosted when they saw this, and many of them began to shout: "The warriors are here! Let's work harder, brothers!" At this moment, the mysterious girl surrounded by light slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were extremely determined. She slightly separated her hands, and the energy ball that had been condensed before immediately broke into several streams and spread around. These rays of light that exuded vitality and energy not only allowed all the injured to recover quickly, but also seemed to regain their strength, and all of them were full of energy.
At this critical moment, the brother and sister who had been hiding and watching the battle for a long time finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Brother, should we do something too?" the girl asked excitedly as she watched the spectacular scene in front of her. "Okay, in that case... but you have to follow me closely, don't run around!" After saying that, the boy jumped out first, picked up the stick beside him and joined the melee; the sister followed closely behind and flexibly shuttled among the crowd, using the homemade slingshot in her hand to constantly cause trouble for the enemy...
As the situation was gradually improving, a man who looked like a leader suddenly roared: "Impossible! We have the help of orc allies... How could we lose to a bunch of weak little brats like you?!" Then he took out a strange whistle from his arms and blew it hard - a moment later, the ground shook violently...
Just as everyone was confused, deafening footsteps and the roar of a terrifying beast were heard from the depths of the dense forest in the distance... The originally slightly relaxed atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn. "What kind of monster is that?" someone screamed. Allen frowned and looked at his comrades beside him: "Are you ready, everyone? The real challenge may have just begun..."
"As long as you are by my side, I have nothing to fear!" Lena said firmly.
"Then let us face the new test together!" Alan gripped the hilt of the sword and looked sharply at the impending threat.
Just as everyone was preparing to take on a new challenge, a mysterious and ancient ruin suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. This ruin was hidden behind dense woods, and the tall stone pillars, mottled walls, and vaguely visible statues gave people a sense of long history. The sun shone through the clouds and illuminated this forgotten place, making it even more mysterious.
"What is that place?" Melina asked in surprise, pointing ahead. Everyone stopped and stared at this newly appeared area.
Soon, the surrounding villagers began to get excited. "That's the legendary ancient ruins!" an old man panted, "It contains countless treasures and artifacts that can grant supreme power to those who enter."
The news spread quickly, attracting countless greedy and curious eyes. Not only the remaining people in the village were eager to make a move, but also explorers from far away came one after another. The originally quiet little village suddenly became a noisy gathering place.
In order to compete for the limited number of admissions, an unprecedented melee inevitably broke out. People rushed to the ruins, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Some people even fought each other, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Alan made a quick judgment, "This is not a solution. We must find a way to resolve this problem peacefully." He turned to his friends for advice, "Mei'er, Melina, what do you think?"
Su Mei'er pondered for a while and said, "If we can find the key to entering the ruins, maybe we can calm everyone down temporarily."
Hearing this, Melina nodded and said, "I agree with Mei'er, but it may not be so easy to find the secret to open the ruins. But we have to try anyway!"
While they were discussing, a group of strange adventurers had already arrived at the entrance of the ruins and tried to force their way in. However, they were hit by something like a barrier and bounced back.
Lena clenched the hilt of the knife in her hand and said eagerly: "Let me deal with these guys! We can't always be on the defensive." Aser patted her shoulder gently to show his support.
At the same time, the mysterious girl closed her eyes as if she had realized something. "Wait... I can feel a very special fluctuation here. If my intuition is correct, the method to open the ruins may be hidden somewhere inconspicuous nearby."
After hearing what she said, everyone present immediately fell silent and looked around nervously for clues. After a while, the girl who usually spoke little opened her eyes and pointed her finger at an old tree trunk covered with moss. "The answer may be there - we need to find the correct password or mechanism to move forward."
The others in the team followed her instructions and began to carefully observe the situation around the tree. Sure enough, not long after, someone shouted in surprise: "There is a hidden handprint here!"
When the palm was placed on the mark, a miraculous scene appeared - the earth trembled, as if the whole world was cheering for this moment. As the light gradually faded, the road leading to the interior of the ruins finally opened.
"Success!" Everyone was excited but also did not forget to be alert to changes in the surrounding environment. After all, who knows what kind of test will come next?
However, just as everyone was about to enter, the group of people who wanted to monopolize the treasure started to stir again. They were unwilling to lose this opportunity, so they united and tried to force their way in. "Humph, what are you talking about sharing resources? In the end, don't you just want to own all the wealth?" One of them sneered.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Allen stood up decisively: "Everyone, please be patient! We can go into the ruins together and fight side by side, and find opportunities that belong to everyone there, instead of quarreling meaninglessly here. Only unity can overcome greater dangers!"
Under his call, many people who were originally hesitant or agitated by provocation calmed down, and finally most of them decided to accept Allen's proposal to move forward together to explore the unknown world.
Stepping into a dark and deep space yet full of infinite possibilities, the group began a new journey with nervous anticipation... "Okay, can we set off now? I can't wait to see what fun things are in there!" Lena urged her companions to speed up, while also looking around so as not to miss any details.
Allen smiled and shook his head, saying to everyone: "Keep in formation and don't be left alone. Who knows what secrets are hidden in here? Let's go in together." Just like that, under the leadership of this young leader, the team officially started their journey to the ruins...
Soon after entering, a strong air current hit us instantly. The surrounding scene changed rapidly, and the originally dark and narrow passage became open and bright. What we saw was simply an eye-opener for everyone - tall statues, exquisite reliefs, intricate corridors... everything showed the high prosperity and splendor that the ancient civilization had once reached.
"This is simply another world!" Mei'er exclaimed with a twinkle in her eyes. The girl next to her who had been silent all this time also showed a rare smile at this moment, and was obviously attracted by the scenery.
Just when everyone was immersed in the beautiful atmosphere, a disturbing voice came from the front - "Haha, welcome here! But remember: if you want to leave this place, you must pass me!" The speaker was a burly guard covered in iron armor, with a fierce look in his eyes, holding a huge war hammer to block the way. "Either defeat me and gain freedom, or stay here forever as a burial object - the choice is yours!"
The air suddenly became heavy and oppressive, and a life-and-death fight was about to break out. Allen gripped his sword tightly and took a step forward. "In that case, let's see who is stronger!"
Lena stood beside him and added: "Don't forget that you have me, an invincible female warrior. How can you handle so many opponents alone?" Then she rushed forward waving the broken knife. The battle was about to begin...
"It seems that this journey is more exciting than I imagined." Melina said with a smile, then she clasped her hands together and chanted a spell to provide support. "Come on, everyone, victory will definitely belong to the side of justice!" She encouraged her companions firmly.
In the fierce battle, Allen and Lena cooperated well, one wielding a sword and the other wielding a knife, and successfully repelled the armored guard. Just when everyone was relieved, a scornful laugh came from the depths of the corridor: "Haha, what a group of interesting little guys."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes appear in front of them. He was wearing a brocade robe, with long hair tied casually behind his head. He had a handsome face but an unsettling aura. Especially his eyes were shining with cunning light, as if they could see through everyone's heart.
Allen frowned and asked warily: "Who are you? Why are you in a place like this?" (End of this chapter)
