Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 21: The ensuing crises


The boulders came roaring, and the weak magician tried to build an ice wall before the boulders came. However, before the ice wall could condense, it was broken by the rolling boulders, and ice chips flew everywhere.

Faced with a boulder that was more than ten times taller than himself, Anderno did not flinch, and his outstretched hands did not tremble at all. Everyone's life hung on a thread. When the boulder and Anderno's arms connected, everyone's heart skipped a beat. It reaches the throat.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh-" Anderno shouted, and the rolling boulder was hugged by force and stopped rotating, but it did not stop completely. The powerful impact brought the adventurers together The triangle continues to translate backwards on the slope.

If the whole team makes a slight mistake, the round boulder will roll again, completely crushing everyone.

Yang Yu and Bai Jin stood in the last row. Yang Yu pushed forward with one hand without a shield, and released the interception with the hand with the shield. He used [Interception] to transform the illusory shield to alleviate obstacles. He did not forget to instruct Bai Jin, who was completely exhausted beside him, to use magic to clear the obstacles behind him as much as possible.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the boulder finally stopped.

No one breathed a sigh of relief, especially Anderno. He looked at the boulder in front of him, his vision was a little blurry, and he said with his remaining consciousness:

"Here, I'll carry it first, you move aside first, and then I'll let go."

No one objected, and one by one they let go of their hands and stood in the woods far away from the boulder. Seeing that no one was left behind, Anderno fell back weakly and lay down in front of the boulder.

Before leaving, several magicians left traces of magic on Anderno's body. As soon as Anderno fell, they panicked and used their magic power to move Anderno out of the dangerous area. Several priests rushed to greet him. He went up and used the power of holy light in his body to treat him.

No one expected that such a scene would occur not long after the rescue was carried out.

No one said anything, but every one of them knew that this rescue operation was probably going to be a disaster. Many of them looked pale and felt withdrawn.

"Enough is enough. We have encountered such danger at the beginning. Who knows what dangers are waiting for us in the future!"

When the first discordant voice sounds, other voices will be given inexplicable courage, and one by one they will express their dissatisfaction.

"There is definitely something in this forest, and it's not something we can handle."

"Yes, the best strategy now is to go back and regroup and mobilize top combat power."

Sadness spread among the team. There were people who were complaining, dissatisfied, and retreating. Naturally, there were also people who held different opinions.

"I object! Without our rescue, the captured adventurers will definitely encounter misfortune."

"I am also against it. They will use such huge rocks, which just proves that they are not strong enough and are trying to use this trick to annihilate us. We should take advantage of their plan to fail and rush forward to eliminate them in one fell swoop and rescue the captured adventurers. ”

"Who knew they would have no backup plan? It is absolutely impossible for Goblins to make such a giant stone. If they only relied on their own opinions, they would only let the team die in vain. Besides, they are so strong. The adventurers who were captured Maybe long ago..."

"Are you planning to die without saving your life?"

"I didn't say that we would not save anyone even if we die, but I said that we should do what we can within our capabilities!"

A conflict broke out in the adventure group. Yang Yu rubbed his shoulders and did not intend to get involved, calmly speaking out his guess without reservation.

"I think you should stop arguing. It seems that even if you really want to retreat, you can't retreat now."

"What did you say?"

The two quarreling factions looked at Yang Yu in unison. Yang Yu casually called a free priest to heal himself, and then said:

"It's not so much that the other side was prepared for us to come to the rescue. It's better to say that they captured those people to lure us to come for the rescue."

"Why are you so sure!"

Yang Yu did not answer their questions, but just looked at the tree crown, "Perhaps, every move we have made so far has been noticed by them. As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, there must be a last-ditch attack. Maybe there are already groups of people. Pairs of goblins have been ambushing us on the way back, and there are also groups of goblins that are attacking us. If we run away in panic, we will only fall into their trap. The best way now is to meet the enemy on the spot and wait. Reinforcements."

Reinforcements? Is there really such a thing?

Many people showed doubtful expressions.

"Didn't you all listen carefully to Anderno's speech this morning? The reason why we are here is because the application for high-level adventurer action has not been approved."

"But...how long will it take?"

"Should...should...can't wait long." Anderno's voice not far away was extremely weak, and the short treatment brought him back to consciousness, "I let, Terra The mentor has been monitoring our actions. If something like this happens, the union will definitely speed up the review and recall the high-level adventurers."

"When such a big thing happens, even if the surveillance is blocked, those high-level adventurers will come over to confirm the situation around this huge rock." Yang Yu continued on for Anderno, "Maybe they decided to Become a second trap to deal with those high-level adventurers..."

Before Yang Yu finished speaking, several scouts jumped up the tree again and interrupted him.

“A large number of tree canopies are jumping, as if something is surrounding them.”

When the horn sounded, everyone was startled and confused, and a hint of uneasiness rose in their hearts. The scouts continued to observe. Several scouts with sharp eyes were keenly aware of the green skin that was almost integrated with the canopy.

"It's Goblins! A large number of Goblins are coming towards us! There are at least five hundred of them, and they are coming from all directions."

When everyone heard the news, they were so panicked that they were at a loss. This was five times the number of the entire adventure group. Now the strongest combat force of the entire adventure group and several previous adventurers were in a state of extreme fatigue. After receiving treatment from the priests, they were unable to resist so many goblins.

"Am I right?" Yang Yu smiled faintly, "This is just a team that is driving us away. They are probably not very strong. Now that they believe that we are exhausted, they must not dare to fight and will only turn around and run away. But I What I want to say is that if we escape, we will definitely die. If we fight together, we may have a chance of survival when Anderno recovers. What do you think, should we fight or flee?"

You have already mentioned this, how can you still escape?

The two factions that had just quarreled immediately shook hands and made peace, and took up weapons one after another.

"Good look!"

After sweeping away the attributes of everyone, Yang Yu stood at the front of the team. Other warriors, swordsmen, and boxers also followed his lead to form a tough front row, surrounding the tired and wounded. Magicians and priests gathered in the rear, and according to the team Adjust your position to facilitate treatment and focus fire. The thieves are waiting for opportunities in the trees, ready to cut in at any time.

People who had only known each other for less than a day bonded together and formed a whole when faced with life-threatening threats.
