Cheryl was almost embarrassed to death by Chen Zhao.
She'd promised nicely, but as soon as Yura instigated it, she rebelled.
Chen Zhao looked calm and gentle now, but who knew what he would do to her later.
"Let's go back to the room, okay?" Chen Zhao hugged Yura.
"No."
"Do you want to see those elves?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go back to the room?"
"Okay."
Girls like her were so easy to fool.
Chen Zhao sent Yura back to the room and locked the door.
If they still wanted to come out, they could only go out through the window.
But the window was covered in vines. The two didn't want to be hung outside for the whole night.
Chen Zhao went to the front yard. The cannon fodder team of underlings came to report the situation.
They'd blocked the mercenaries' path of retreat. They were still coming toward the villa.
There were many underlings, but they were too weak. They could only barely stop the mercenaries' path of retreat with Eugenice.
If the mercenaries had enough ammunition, they'd probably kill all the underlings.
Of course, they couldn't carry dozens of kilograms of ammunition for a mission.
Moreover, the mercenaries didn't know what they were facing, let alone how many there were.
Because of the uncertain situation, they were frightened.
Now, there were only around 30 mercenaries left.
"That's still too many," Chen Zhao said. "We need to reduce the number."
"Eugenice is strong, but his efficiency is too low," Blackie said.
Blackie couldn't do anything in this war. He couldn't participate in this war.
He couldn't even control the gargoyles. If he controlled the gargoyles to kill someone, it was the same as him killing someone.
However, he could pass through the battlefield unhindered and send information to Chen Zhao.
"Whatever, it's my turn," Chen Zhao said.
…
By now, the mercenaries were scared out of their wits. This was just a small forest.
These mercenaries had fought in a tropical rainforest. The danger level of that rainforest was more than ten times that of this small forest.
But this place was filled with strangeness. Even now, they still couldn't see what had attacked them.
"Haus, I think there's something even more dangerous waiting for us ahead."
"Of course I know … but we have no way out." Haus's tone was filled with pessimism.
This was the most dangerous moment of his career.
No, to be precise, it was the strangest one.
If he could do it all over again, he wouldn't have accepted this mission.
Although being a mercenary was dangerous, it wasn't so dangerous that a dozen people would die at once.
Generally speaking, as long as arrangements were made properly, no one would die in a mission.
Even if it was some extremely difficult and extremely dangerous missions, one or two people dying was already the most they could do.
If more than ten people died in every mission, then there would be no point in doing the mission. No one would want to be a mercenary anymore.
But this time, their target made them taste fear and despair.
Hu – hu –
At this moment, all the mercenaries stopped in their tracks.
"What's that sound?" Haus looked around but found nothing.
"The sound is coming from the sky!" Toby looked up, but in the dark night, he couldn't see anything.
At this moment, a black shadow descended from the sky.
It was a strange creature with wings, slightly larger than an adult human.
The creature grabbed a person and was about to fly up.
But in the process of flying, the other mercenaries opened fire.
Thud, thud, thud —
The creature was instantly shot full of holes and fell with a strange cry.
But when it landed, it turned into a stone statue riddled with holes.
The mercenary it had grabbed was also smashed into meat paste.
Of course, before he was smashed, he'd already been shot by his companions.
"What's this? A stone statue? "Haus went forward to check, puzzled.
Ding —
A bullet seeped out of the statue, and the hole disappeared.
"Don't go over, it's recovering!" Toby pulled Haus back. At the same time, he took out his gun and fired two shots at the statue.
Ding, ding —
The bullets hit the statue, but sparks flew. The statue was unharmed.
"No, we can't hurt it!" Haus shook his head. "It can only be hurt when it moves and turns into flesh."
"Luckily, there's only one. If there were a few more, our casualties would be …"
Just as Toby finished speaking, a dozen more gargoyles descended from the sky.
The strange cries of these gargoyles, along with gunshots and cries of despair, filled the entire battlefield.
Haus and Toby were filled with despair. Why?
What was going on?
Where did these monsters come from?
They didn't feel like they were attacking a villa, but more like they were on a punitive expedition against a ghost realm filled with these aberrations.
The gargoyles that were shot fell to the ground again. The ones that weren't attacked grabbed people and dropped them from the sky.
Alternatively, he could cut off the limbs of two Gargoyle Generals in mid-air and throw them down.
Da da da —
Bang, bang, bang —
The mercenaries were so scared that they didn't know what to do. Only the gunshots could temporarily alleviate their fear and despair.
Finally, the gunshots quieted down. There were only a dozen people left on the battlefield.
They were completely out of bullets, but the gargoyles stopped attacking too.
They fell to the ground one by one and turned back into stone statues.
But no one was happy because of this. There was only a deeper fear.
They vaguely felt that they were about to face true despair.
The smell of death permeated the air. They saw a figure.
Grim Reaper! That's right, the Grim Reaper was harvesting souls here.
Even though it was only for an instant, it was enough to make one shiver in fear.
Just then, heavy footsteps came from the other side of the forest.
They were two huge stone statues, just like the ones that had attacked them earlier, but taller and stronger.
Perhaps only cannons could be used to kill these monsters.
Their bodies were made of flesh and metal, but they only had one eye.
They looked like the legendary cyclops. They were filled with an oppressive aura that intimidated them.
But the two cyclops didn't attack them directly. Instead, they just stood there.
Just then, they heard another set of footsteps.
That Asian man finally appeared in front of them.
"Hello … My dear guests, welcome." Chen Zhao opened his arms and said in a warm and welcoming tone.
"The ones behind, don't think about running away. If you want to …"
