The demon corpses piled up like a mountain at the entrance of the cave.
But under the effect of the Bloodthirst Potion, the berserk demon army never stopped attacking. Fortunately, the duration of the Bloodthirst Potion was relatively limited, and it was not drunk into the body, but spread through the air, so the effective time was even shorter.
Half an hour later.
The demons gradually regained their senses. Apart from feeling weak all over, they also found that their companions had suffered heavy casualties. A terrifying god of death with a heavy sword stood in front of the formation, and any of their companions who charged forward would die. Under the swing of the heavy sword, anyone who came into contact with it would be injured, and anyone who came into contact with it would die. Those who fell to the ground had their heads separated from their bodies, and they couldn't help but be terrified. All of them couldn't help but let out terrified screams as they turned around and fled in all directions.
The demons supervising the battle could not control the situation and completely collapsed.
They could only follow the crowd and retreat.
They looked at Lin Dong, who was bathed in blood, with hatred in their eyes. They were sure that without this young man, even if they had ten times the number of demons, they would have been swallowed by the demon army.
"Retreat, I will cover the rear, everyone retreat in turn." Lin Dong waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat.
"Oh my god, can't you let us catch our breath before we leave? If I knew it would be this tiring, I would not have risked my life to come in! "Griffon felt like his legs were filled with lead, and it was very difficult to take even a small step. Relying on a single breath did not mean that Griffon still had the strength to run and retreat. In the battle just now, his physical strength had been repeatedly overdrawn, and he had long reached his limit. The fact that he could still stand was already a testament to his strong willpower.
"Griffin, let me carry you!" Jonathan was also very tired, but he bent down and expressed that he wanted to carry Griffon.
"You only have half your life left, and you still want to carry me?" Griffon refused.
"I'll carry you first, and when you recover, you can carry me!" Jonathan knew that Griffon wanted to save face, so he gave him a way out. In fact, Jonathan was grateful for Griffon's help. There had been a few dangerous situations just now, and Jonathan and Remiga had almost lost their lives. It was Griffon who had risked his life to save them.
"Scram! No matter how weak I am, I don't need you to carry me. I can walk!" Griffon insisted. He gritted his teeth and dragged himself towards the broken bridge.
On the other side, Arius and Hugo, who usually didn't see eye to eye, supported each other.
They supported each other as they retreated.
Amanda, the Shadow Witch, was seriously injured and passed out. Bord, who was seriously injured, coughed blood in pain as he carried her on his back.
Among the crowd, other than Lin Dong, only the two Ascetic Monks still had enough battle power. The two Ascetic Monks' fighting spirit was beyond everyone's expectations. They were usually quiet and kept a low profile, but when it came to defense, they were ten times more useful than others. If they hadn't helped in time, Arius might have lost an arm, and Amanda, the weakest Shadow Witch, might have lost her life. Bloody Mary was grateful to the two Ascetic Monks because they had helped Nelson, who had fallen into enemy territory. Otherwise, Nelson might not have been able to return in one piece.
It was about 12 to 13 kilometers from the cave entrance to the broken bridge.
It was such a short distance.
Usually, with Griffon's strength, they could easily finish the journey in an hour. If they were in a hurry, they could finish in half an hour or even less.
But now, they were exhausted, and it took them two hours to finish the journey.
Fortunately, the monsters were afraid of Lin Dong, who brought up the rear.
They didn't dare to get close.
"What a strong smell of blood! Sh * t! " When Jonathan saw the broken bridge, he felt relieved. However, the strong smell of blood that came with the wind made him feel alarmed.
"Corpses, they're our people. Oh my god, so many corpses!" Bloody Mary rushed forward and found corpses lying on the broken bridge. The Eye of God, the Templars of the Plantagenet Empire, and the elites of all sects. There were also some corpses of demons in the pile of corpses.
When they rushed to the broken bridge, they found that the entire river had experienced an indescribably fierce battle.
Below, the floating corpses filled most of the river.
Some were human, some were demon.
There were also Rock Toads and Crooked Short-Tailed Monsters. There were even some strange monsters that looked like bats but had the heads of jackals and wolves.
Corpses piled up on a few bridge piers. In order to fight for these footholds, both humans and demons paid a heavy price.
The ropes used to connect them were cut off, and they hung weakly under the broken bridge.
They swayed slowly with the water.
"It seems that Van Lundin ambushed Philip and Thomas here." Bloody Mary rummaged through the corpses and found the head of Monster Ness, who died with his eyes wide open, but not his body. Although Monster Ness was not the strongest, he was definitely not weak. To be able to kill him on the bridge instead of in the water, the opponent must be a super powerful fighter.
"I didn't find Parsons. I hope he's still alive." Narson found that almost all of his men who had retreated earlier were dead.
"Pierre, my brother!" Hugo found that the elder of Pierre's brothers died on the other side of the broken bridge. Half of his body was devoured by a monster. It was a horrible scene.
"I don't know how Clay and Victor are doing. Please don't let anything happen to the bishop …" Arius sincerely crossed himself and prayed to God.
"Bury them in water. We don't have time to waste. No matter what lies ahead, the rest of us must walk out alive and return to the Surface World alive! " Bloody Mary was very strong. She immediately made a decision and ordered her men to tie rocks or other heavy objects to the water to prevent the monsters from devouring their bodies. She patted Narson's shoulder and said, "We don't have time to mourn. We're in a critical situation right now. We don't know if most of them are still alive, and they might need our help. The monsters are chasing after us, so we shouldn't be sad now. Let's do it. We have ten minutes to solve this problem. "
The bodies of the dead explorers were sunk into the water.
Far away.
They could already see the shadow of the monster army.
Bord, Hugo, and Arius slid down the ropes cut off by the enemies and soaked in the cold water. They then gathered the bodies of their comrades on the first pier, tied them to a rock, and sank them into the water.
After passing through three piers, they finally swam back to the shore.
They looked back.
The demonic creature army crowded the Broken Bridge. Some of the demonic creatures that were not afraid of water could not wait for the Broken Bridge to be repaired and jumped into the water like dumplings.
"Let's go!" Fox saw that Griffon could not walk anymore, but he was still reluctant to part with his heavy backpack. He wanted to slap him. "Throw it away if you can't carry it, Mister Griffin. Are the things in the backpack more important than your life?"
"No, I can't go back empty-handed!" Griffon stubbornly refused. "This is my trophy and honor. No one can take it away from me! Not to mention one backpack, even if there were ten, I could still carry it back to the Surface World! Lord God, let me carry the backpack back. I can do it. I promise I won't be a burden to everyone! "
"Then hurry up and leave. Cut the crap!" Lin Dong kicked him.
"So comfortable!" Griffon was not angry at the kick. Instead, he yelled that it was comfortable.
"…" Jonathan was speechless. Can't you be more normal? How can you be like this? Don't tell anyone that you know me!
"What's with that look? It's really comfortable. I couldn't breathe just now. After being kicked by Lord God, my body instantly felt much better. If you don't believe me, you can let Lord God kick you too! " Griffon felt wronged. This was Lord God's unique secret. Don't make wild guesses if you don't understand it!
"Thanks. You can enjoy it yourself!" Remiga laughed.
They rushed all the way.
When Lin Dong arrived at the hole above where they first hid from the Stooped Short-Tailed Monster, he found that there was not even space for a needle.
Tens of thousands of Stooped Short-Tailed Monsters were frantically besieging the exploration team that had retreated to a corner.
Philip, Thomas, and Nero were standing at the front.
He resisted the endless waves of attacks.
The Shadow Warriors and the remaining elites of the Darkness Palace were desperately guarding their backs. The entire team was cowering in a small crater in the mountain, relying on the extremely limited terrain to resist tenaciously. If not for Lin Dong's timely arrival, they would have been in danger of being overwhelmed by the enemy at any time.
"Kill!"
Lin Dong jumped down.
The Sword Qi was like a chain. The space within ten meters was split in half. Countless Stooped Short-Tailed Monsters were cut in half …
Bloody Mary, Arius, and the rest rushed down. While slaughtering crazily, they shouted loudly, hoping that their companions would hear the sound of rescue and continue to persevere.
In the distance.
Fan Lundin, who was standing on a giant beast, had a drastic change of expression.
He had calculated many things before, but he had never expected such an outcome.
The team that was left in front to stop them had defeated the Demonic Creature Army and rushed back to rescue them? Could it be that the Demonic Creature Army had failed to go berserk? Otherwise, how could they have survived to rescue them?
In Valentine's plan, apart from the young man with the heavy sword, there shouldn't be anyone else who could escape.
Moreover.
Even if the young man could escape.
It was impossible for him to rush back to rescue them in just a few hours, not to mention leading the team back!
"Are the guys who besieged them stupid?" There was an inexplicable anger in Fan Lundin's heart. However, when he saw Lin Dong waving his sword and killing all the Stooped Short-Tailed Monsters along the way, easily rushing to the front of his trapped companions, he instantly understood. It was not that his subordinates were stupid, nor was it that they did not move fast enough. It was that this young man was too powerful!
He had miscalculated!
His previous estimation was completely wrong!
No wonder Čepes was like a coward and did not show his face along the way. It turned out that he already knew how powerful this young man was!
Previously, when he saw him kill the leader of the Ancientjaw Beasts with one sword, he thought that he had already shown his strength and reached his limit. He did not expect that the strength this young man showed was just the tip of the iceberg!
The heavy sword had no sharp edge, but when it was waved, the Sword Qi was everywhere.
Within ten meters, anyone who touched it would die.
Fan Lundin completely understood why his subordinates could not surround him even with tens of thousands of Demonic Creatures … This was not an opponent that could be defeated with numbers! Not to mention in the Surface World, even in the Purgatory World, he had the strength to dominate an area. No wonder Castellan Özy retracted his tail the moment he showed up. Encountering such a powerful opponent, if he was not careful, it was very likely that he would fail miserably. All his efforts would go down the drain, and he might even lose his life!
"Retreat!" Fan Lundin was very decisive. Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately waved his hand and ordered the Stooped Short-Tailed Monster army to retreat. He then raised his voice and shouted to Lin Dong who had just met up with Philip in the distance, "Although I do not know if your name is Blockhead, but I will call you that! Young Mr Wood, respected human powerhouse, as a member of the Purgatory, I would like to welcome you! I look forward to seeing you again in the future, respected opponent! Of course, Mr Philip and Mr Thomas who I almost killed, you guys are very lucky! "
"This grudge, I will return it to you one day!" Thomas had a terrifying wound on his forehead that went deep into his brow bone. His right eye was dripping with blood, but he ignored the danger of losing his sight. He suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted to Fan Lundin in the distance, "Mr Fan Lundin, please remember, that day will not be too far away!"
"I look forward to it very much." Valentine looked at his left hand. There was an obvious wound on it. "Mr. Thomas, in order to remember the wounds and pain you've brought me, I won't remove this scar until you've completely fallen by my feet! As for you, my dear Philip, if you wish, I can give you the position of an assistant at any time. My promise is forever valid! "
"Thanks, compared to the Purgatory, I prefer to live in the Surface World!" Philip replied without batting an eyelid.
As the Stooped Short-Tailed Monster army retreated.
Bloody Mary noticed that a familiar person was also retreating. That person turned out to be her subordinate, the previously missing mad scientist Parsons. She was instantly filled with anger like a volcano, "Parsons, you traitor!"
Parsons laughed out loud, "I am not one of your people, I have never been. If you will feel better if I tell you the secret, then I will tell you the truth! My father is from the Purgatory. In order to pass through the dimensional door of the Surface World, when my mother was pregnant, he asked her to bring me through the door, using the excuse that the female members of the team were returning from an adventure in the Holy Land. I dare say, in the Gorse Dynasty, among the major forces, there are many people like me lurking in the shadows. Before we reveal our identity, you will never know our background. "
"I will remember you, Parsons. You better pray to the heavens that you do not fall into my hands." Bloody Mary was completely enraged.
"The Purgatory only believes in strength!" Parsons could not stop laughing, "The next time we meet, you may not be my opponent! Besides, the next time I will not look like Parsons. I have a mature shape-shifting ability, I can easily change my appearance. When I appear in front of you with a new identity, you will not be able to recognize me at all. But, don't worry, when I pierce your heart with my dagger, I will tell you who I am! Goodbye, my former superior, the proud and fierce Duchess! "
Bloody Mary clenched her fists tightly.
She stared at Parsons who was riding away on the back of the giant beast, the blood in her eyes boiling.
Hugo found Reynold, who was squatting on the ground with his head lowered, among the wounded. This commander was extremely depressed. Under his leadership, the Knights Templar had suffered the most casualties. The Light Knight Pierre and his brother were all dead, the Heavy Knight Gerrard died in battle, and the other Andre was seriously injured. He did not know if he could make it back to the Surface World.
Even Father Jacques, who was not in charge of the battle, had his right arm broken at the shoulder.
Hugo was so angry that his eyes were filled with tears.
He really wanted to give this useless commander Reynold a slap.
But seeing Reynold's depressed look, and thinking about the promise he made to the previous commander, he could not do it, and could only sigh sadly!
In contrast, the Eastern European Grand Alliance was in a jubilant mood. Big Ivan and Zhao Daniu hugged Sergei Ariev, who was covered in blood. The two of them took turns kissing his forehead, shouting, "Hero, child, you are the hero of us Slavs! Good job, you are ten thousand times stronger than some useless commander! At least you have enough courage to stand at the front of the battlefield and fight the enemy, instead of staying behind to be injured by the mole. Haha, my child, we are proud of you! "
"We are all in the same boat, and after going through so many hardships and obstacles, we finally made it back alive. Let's not talk so much!" Philip was afraid that the team would break into internal strife, so he quickly dissuaded them.
"Rest for half an hour, then everyone return!" Lin Dong did not care who injured Reynold. After all, this guy was not a good person.
"Dig out the blood cores, I still have some space in my backpack!" Only the heartless Griffon was still in the mood to dig out the blood cores.
"Aren't you tired?" Don Quixote was convinced.
"Tired, but I'm not afraid no matter how tired I am. There are blood cores all over the ground!" Griffon's eyes lit up as he rushed forward. Apart from him, no one else was in the mood to dig out the blood cores of those stooped short-tailed monsters.
Five days later.
The exhausted exploration team finally returned to the Surface World with great difficulty under the support of the follow-up team members of the Palace of Darkness.
When they walked through the metal gate, everyone had lingering fears.
Inside there.
There was a nightmarish world, Purgatory!
"We are finally back. My god, I have never found the sun so lovely, so beautiful!" When Fox walked out and looked up at the sky, she was so excited that she was like an innocent little girl, running happily. She kept running under the sun, cheering as she ran. Her laughter filled up the entire sunny blue sky …
