The silver-white crossbow bolts, which contained amazing magic power, crisscrossed in the air, leaving bright lines in the air. Wherever the lines passed, be it the protective shields or the summoned walls, they were like paper, pierced and disintegrated in the blink of an eye. All kinds of offensive magic released by the Letta runes followed the path opened by the crossbow bolts as if they were free. Layer by layer, they destroyed the various defensive measures set up by the witches in the cemetery. As a group of people struggling to survive in this dark age, the witches certainly would not leave their nest unguarded. In fact, they had set up countless defensive measures here. The collapsed tombstones and twisted dead trees were all products of magic power. When the demon hunters attacked, they immediately moved to form layers of defense. But for the demon hunters, these things could only delay them for a short while.
The witches finally calmed down after the initial panic and fear. Madam Marie and Hessiana had become the backbone of these people. Their loud shouts stopped the other witches from doing anything stupid. Under the cover of the thick magic fog in the cemetery, the group of witches gradually retreated to a narrow space in the southwest corner of the cemetery. Witch Helen chanted a spell, and the tombstones around the open space immediately began to rumble and shake. Then, they turned into black stone guards covered in moss. These heavy guards formed another line of defense, blocking the long-range bombardment of the demon hunters.
"Boom!"
Almost as soon as these stone guards stood up, a dazzling silver-white fireball drew a parabola in the air and accurately landed on one of the stone guards. The supposedly indestructible and magic-resistant stone guard was blown to pieces in an instant. Most of the fragments were completely vaporized by the sacred flame before they hit the ground.
"These things can't stop them at all. At most, they can hold on for a few minutes," Hessiana said quickly. "Damn it … This is not an ordinary demon hunter team at all. Only the most elite demon hunters can do this kind of destructive power!"
Hao Ren glanced at Little Bat. "It seems that even if your previous plan succeeds, it is useless. These demon hunters have exceeded your expectations."
"I didn't expect the demon hunters to pay so much attention to this place. It seems that Lady Vivian's influence is too great, even when she's in hibernation." Hessiana admitted that she had misjudged the place.
While Hessiana said so, Hao Ren had another question in his mind.
Were these demon hunters really here to kill Vivian, who was in a state of hibernation? Didn't they say that Vivian had a different kind of "deterrent" among the demon hunters? Plus, the ancient Countess usually did not take the initiative to make trouble, so the demon hunters generally did not take the initiative to find trouble with her.
So what's with this group of elite hunters that suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
The demon hunters seemed to have made up their minds to besiege the witches and kill them by bombarding them with firepower. Or perhaps, their extreme discipline allowed them to remain vigilant even in the face of half-baked spellcasters like the human wizards. So, they were only using arrows and spells to suppress the resistance in the cemetery. This was a foolproof way to consume the physical and mental strength of the witches and wizards.
But this kind of consumption was coming to an end.
Hao Ren looked up at the west of the cemetery. His eyes pierced through the thick fog and saw a few swaying figures in the shadows. The demon hunters had crossed the fence and the animated tree men outside. Their entry meant that the official hunt was about to begin.
Hessiana raised her hand and threw out a few Festering Blood Balls. The Festering Blood Balls, which were full of corrosive power of death, fell on the path of the demon hunters and immediately exploded into a large swath of toxic fog. Even the demon hunters did not dare to approach such a toxic fog head-on, which somewhat slowed down their attack.
"We can only passively take a beating here. Those bastards are best at this kind of siege," Hessiana spat. "We have to find a way to break out. It's almost the full moon now. As long as we can break out, with the power of the moonlight, I'm confident that we can get rid of them. But there are two conditions …"
Madam Marie immediately asked, "What are the two conditions?"
"First, we don't have enough strength to break out. You half-baked people can't even protect yourselves. Who can break the demon hunters' defense? Secondly, we need someone to stay behind and stall the Demon Hunters, even if it's just for a short while. "
The witch and the wizard Bain looked at each other. But suddenly, an idea flashed through Hao Ren's mind.
"These are not a problem," Hao Ren said quickly. At the same time, he opened his Dimensional Pocket and took out a strange weapon from it. "Lily can be the vanguard. Lily, come over here. You don't have a weapon now, so these are for you …"
Lily watched as Hao Ren changed her equipment and muttered, "But I'm better at close combat …"
Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "This thing is much more useful than slashing people with a broadsword. What you need to do now is to break out of the encirclement, not face the demon hunters head-on. A round of bombardment is better than anything else..."
Lily groaned dizzily. When she came to her senses, she was carrying a huge ammunition chain box on her back and a six-barreled revolving machine gun in each hand. Hao Ren had made her look like a Terminator.
While hanging these things on Lily, Hao Ren leaned over and whispered, "You just need to rush out with your people. Don't get entangled with the demon hunters. I have a use for them."
Lily blinked. "Mr. Landlord, you're going to fool the demon hunters after fooling the witch?"
"I have something to ask them. I don't think it's right for a group of demon hunters to come looking for trouble with Vivian," Hao Ren said as he helped Lily turn off the safety of the revolving machine gun. At the same time, he made sure that the ammunition chain box was in good condition. "Leave a signal along the way. I'll catch up soon."
Hessiana watched curiously as Hao Ren hung a bunch of iron lumps on the half-witted werewolf. She could not help but ask, "What are these things? Can they be used to deal with the demon hunters? "
"It's going to be difficult to kill those guys, but it's not a problem to fight our way out." Hao Ren grinned at Little Bat, thinking that the little girl would still be an innocent girl who had never seen the power of guns. "You guys follow Lily. I'll stay behind."
"Are you sure?" Hessiana was surprised. "It's dangerous."
"I'm sure. Don't worry." Hao Ren gave Little Bat a confident look. "After all, I can get along with an ancient Blood Clan like Vivian. Do you think I'm weak?"
Hessiana bit her lip and stared at Hao Ren. After a long while, she nodded and said, "Be careful. It's rare for Lady Vivian to have a few friends."
Hao Ren was speechless.
Why was Little Bat so dumb back then?
The last few stone guards fell under the demon hunters' sacred flames, and the figures in the fog began to move faster. Feeling the magic in the air getting stronger, Hao Ren gave Little Bat a push. "Let's go, or it'll be too late!"
"I owe you one!"
Under Lily's lead, Hessiana and the witches found a direction and rushed out of the foggy cemetery. A moment later, they disappeared from Hao Ren's sight. A few seconds later, Hao Ren heard a burst of machine gun fire coming from the other side of the fog.
As expected, the demon hunters had set up a blockade on the periphery. But Hao Ren believed that it would not be a problem for Lily to break out of the encirclement with two Vulcan cannons.
While Lily and the witches rushed out, Hao Ren quickly got ready.
He quickly changed his clothes and put on the demon hunter's gear that Hasse gave him. Then, he took advantage of the chaos on Lily's side to shift his position. After confirming that the timing was right, he took out a badge from his pocket and infused his mental power into it.
It was a silver badge, only the size of a palm, engraved with the shape of a sword blade like a cross. After the mental power was infused into it, the silver badge immediately glowed brightly.
It was a talisman often equipped by the demon hunters. After being infused with power, it could dispel low-level magic erosion and enhance self-healing ability. In the chaotic battlefield, it could also be used as a remote identification tool between demon hunters. Hao Ren had learned how to activate this thing from Hasse.
Sure enough, as the badge released a special magical wave, Hao Ren sensed that some of the demon hunters in the cemetery who were about to rush out to chase after the witches had stopped. The other demon hunters also showed obvious hesitation. They did not expect that a strange 'ally' would suddenly appear in this' lair of evil. '
A moment later, a few demon hunters came through the thick fog. As soon as their signature black battle suits came into view, Hao Ren jumped out and shouted, "In the name of Coldpath, I'm going to kill you!" You have just ruined my half a month's work! "
It sounded particularly righteous and full of vigor, especially occupying the moral high ground. Mixed with 30% anger, 30% helplessness, and 40% irritation, Hao Ren felt that his voice was at least worth more than 20 Oscars.
When the demon hunters heard Hao Ren shouting in the name of Coldpath and sensed the magical wave of the badge, they immediately rushed over. Then they saw Hao Ren, who was dressed in a demon hunter's costume, leaning against a crooked tombstone, looking upset.
A demon hunter who looked like the leader came up to Hao Ren and looked him up and down. "You are …"
"A Stalker," Hao Ren said with his arms crossed. At the same time, he maintained the mental power of a few of his equipment to simulate the aura of a demon hunter. "I followed these witches for half a month, and then you guys ruined everything!"
