However, Connor's sinister smile quickly froze on his face. A hand appeared in front of the target that the crossbow bolts were about to hit, and the two rapid crossbow bolts were easily caught between his fingers, caught in that powerless human's hand.
In the blink of an eye, Connor felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his whole body fell to the ground. Before he could react, he was already trampled by that human's foot, and he couldn't even muster the slightest bit of strength to resist.
"Speak! How can I restore the barrier? "
"Damn it!" Connor had just cursed when he felt suffocated. A terrifying aura had already enveloped him, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
This was … the power of at least a higher rank demon! Connor was greatly shaken. This human who had always been regarded as powerless was actually hiding such a terrifying strength!
"Tell me how to restore the barrier! Also, tell me who your master is! This is your only chance to save your life! "
Connor struggled to no avail. He knew that the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, so he didn't beg for mercy. Instead, he revealed a ruthless smile, and his blue eyes suddenly turned silver. His seven apertures simultaneously emitted a silver radiance. A warning sign appeared in Chen Rui's heart. His figure flashed, and he saw Connor's body explode with a bang. Silver light erupted, and the stone walls above and below trembled violently, causing countless dust to fall.
With the power of this explosion, if not for Chen Rui's early reaction, even with his strength as a higher rank demon, it was inevitable that he would be injured. Connor's body had already been smashed to pieces, and nothing was left behind. It was very obvious that he was a death warrior, and in order to avoid revealing his secrets, he didn't hesitate to use a secret technique to self-destruct.
Now was not the time to investigate the origins of Connor's mysterious master. Chen Rui looked at the deep entrance, and then climbed down without hesitation.
So what if it was a one-way passage?
No matter what danger there was, he had to face it together with her.
Just like she said: You, are not alone.
Athena, hold on!
This passage was longer and more winding than he had imagined. It seemed that the distance between the upper and lower levels was far greater than he had imagined. The dim light of a magic lamp finally appeared at the bottom of the passage, and Chen Rui hastened his movements.
The moment he passed through the exit, Chen Rui felt as if his body had passed through a layer of water and was repelled to the exit below. He tried to climb back up the same way he came from, but no matter what method he used, he would always be bounced back by that ripple-like power. It seemed like what Connor said about the barrier being broken was true.
No matter what, he had to find Athena first.
The lighting in the lower levels was very dim, and the air was more humid. From time to time, there was a pungent smell. Many magic lamps had been destroyed, and skeletons could be seen on the ground. Chen Rui thought of Athena, and his heart suddenly jumped. Judging from the pickaxes nearby, they should be miners.
The Ring of Illumination in his hand emitted a strong light. Although it was very likely that he would become the target of the Magical Beasts, he did not care so much. He shouted with all his strength, "Athena! Athena! "
Just like that, Chen Rui ran forward quickly with the help of the magic compass. He constantly tried various paths and shouted Athena's name loudly. His voice echoed along the way.
There seemed to be a response from the front. Chen Rui hastened his footsteps. He saw a black shadow flashing in front of the passage, making a buzzing sound. Even the nearby magic lamps flickered under the continuous movement of a large number of black shadows. < Analytical Eyes > showed: bloodthirsty demonic flies, comprehensive strength E.
It turned out to be the voice of this group of demonic flies!
Comprehensive strength E is just Intermediate Demon, but the number is very shocking. < Analytical Eyes > was full of E, E, E, E … Chen Rui remembered Connor said that it was a strange fly-like creature that attacked the miners in the lower levels. It could suck all the flesh and blood of the body. It must be this bloodthirsty demonic fly.
The demonic flies were about the size of a fist. Under the light of the Ring of Illumination, they looked particularly ugly. They actually ignored the threat of the Higher Demon's aura that he deliberately released and swarmed over.
Chen Rui punched. He was currently equivalent to the peak of Higher Demon. When the power that he comprehended from the surfy sea was unleashed, waves of turbulent power surged. Wherever the fist wind went, the demonic flies of these Intermediate Demon fell down one after another. However, these demonic flies were extremely tough. They did not die or lose their combat power. After a while, they flew up from the ground again and continued to surround him. They were actually unable to be killed.
Since the demonic flies were flying in the air, it was difficult for Chen Rui's attack to hit the target. Unless he hit them directly or stomped them to death one by one on the ground, he could not completely eliminate this group of troublesome "flies".
Chen Rui tried to use < Analytical Eyes > to communicate with the bloodthirsty demonic flies, but to his surprise, < Analytical Eyes > failed! This magical skill that could communicate with demonic beasts had always been effective, but now it was completely ineffective against the bloodthirsty demonic flies. It was as if these terrible flies that devoured flesh and blood were not sentient beings.
Chen Rui was worried about Athena's safety. He was not in the mood to explore the reason why < Analytical Eyes > failed. He kept punching away the demonic flies along the way and rushed into the passage ahead.
After passing through this long passage, there was a three-way junction in front of him. Chen Rui did not know how to choose. There were many demonic flies in front of him, and the ones flying at the back were also catching up. He shouted Athena's name while forcing the demonic flies away.
The appearance of the demonic flies made Chen Rui even more anxious. When he thought that Athena might encounter an unknown great danger, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. If something really happened to her, Chen Rui would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Finally, there was a faint response from the right passage. Although it was very faint, Chen Rui's senses were very keen. He heard that it did not seem to be the voice of the demonic flies this time. He was immediately energized. He punched repeatedly and rushed to the right intersection at full speed.
The sound of fighting could be heard in front. Chen Rui shouted again, "Athena!"
"I'm here!" It was indeed Athena's voice. Chen Rui was energized. The Star Power in his body suddenly rose to the peak, and the demonic flies along the way were all blown away.
Chen Rui ran all the way and turned a few corners. Finally, he saw light in a relatively large hall. It was the light of the burning demonic fire.
In the demonic fire was Athena who had transformed into her combat form. The leather armor on her body was already damaged. The greatsword in her hand was constantly waving. She was fighting fiercely with three strange demonic flies about the size of a head. There was also a large group of gray shadows around. They should all be bloodthirsty demonic flies.
Luckily! She's fine!
Chen Rui's heart was finally at ease. He only felt a strong sense of joy and excitement surging in his heart. The Star Power in his body surged, and the demonic flies that approached were all pushed away by an invisible force.
There was also a fast-moving translucent shadow next to Athena, constantly brushing away the demonic flies that approached. It should be Dodo. Behind her, there were a few strange creatures, leaning against the wall behind her, forming a semicircle. They were also fighting against the demonic flies, and they seemed to be on the same front as Athena.
The upper body of these creatures was a female body wearing simple armor, and the lower body was a light green snake body. A few in front were holding stone knives and shields, dispersing the bloodthirsty demonic flies that approached. There was also one at the back holding a bow and arrow, shooting at the three larger demonic flies that were fighting with Athena from time to time. There were a few corpses lying on the ground. Some were Demons, and some were the snake women.
Medusa! Chen Rui thought of a legendary intelligent demonic beast. It had a female body and a snake body, and was good at using bows and arrows. Most Medusas also had the ability to petrify their enemies. This kind of demonic beast was also one of the underground demonic beasts that harmed the mine, but for some reason, it was on the same side as Athena. It was probably because they had a common enemy, the demonic flies, that they had formed a temporary alliance.
"Athena, hold on, I'm coming!" This thought only flashed in Chen Rui's mind. He did not stop at all, and he had already rushed over.
Athena's greatsword had already begun to stagnate, but when she heard Chen Rui's voice, she increased her strength for no reason, and became swift and powerful again.
The number of demonic flies in the hall was extremely large. When they noticed Chen Rui, they all surrounded him. The sky was filled with a creepy buzzing sound.
"Be careful!" Athena knew the power of these demonic flies. She was anxious, but she was entangled by the three big demonic flies. She couldn't get away for a while.
The Star Power surging in Chen Rui's body had been raised to the extreme. The newly realized peak Mizar power burst out instantly. With a thought, a faint light appeared in his palm. < Aura Blade > had been launched. He shouted, "< Destructive Aura Strike >!"
< Destructive Aura Strike > – a group attack skill in the state of < Aura Blade >. It could cause all hostile creatures within a radius of five meters to be instantly sliced by the high-speed sword aura. In addition to consuming Star Power, it also consumed an additional 100 auras.
In the blink of an eye, all the bloodthirsty demonic flies within a five-meter radius were being sliced by countless sharp forces at high speed. A faint blade light flashed on each of their bodies, like words. When the "words" disappeared, it was the end of their lives. These extremely tenacious bloodthirsty demonic flies were smashed into countless particles under the power of < Destructive Aura Strike >, and they fell like rain.
Other than dealing with Dodo's scattered body in the black rainforest, it was the first time for Chen Rui to use < Destructive Aura Strike >, a group attack skill, in an actual battle with a large number of enemies. The bloodthirsty demonic flies didn't have Dodo's immortal body. The body that was completely smashed could no longer be resurrected. It seemed to be quite effective.
The bloodthirsty demonic flies weren't afraid because of the death of their companions. They still rushed to surround him. < Destructive Aura Strike >'s prompt was to attack all hostile creatures within a five-meter radius. Chen Rui didn't know if this attack would intelligently identify allies, so he didn't dare to get too close to Athena. However, he naturally wouldn't be courteous to the demonic shadows that rushed over. He used his speed to gather the number of demonic flies to a certain extent, then he launched < Destructive Aura Strike > again.
< Destructive Aura Strike > consumed very little auras, only 100, but the Star Power consumed was several times that of < Aura Blade >. However, the effect of this powerful group attack skill was quite obvious. After several consecutive < Destructive Aura Strikes > after "attracting", only a small number of bloodthirsty demonic flies were left in the hall.
The three big demonic flies had already discovered this dangerous person. One of them abandoned Athena and rushed toward Chen Rui. Its speed was several times faster than those bloodthirsty demonic flies!
