From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 431 - 288: Sudden Change
After they took care of the Horned Demon Undead Wizard, the skeleton sea that surged like a tide instantly lost its control and shattered into pieces on the ground.
Without the siege of the skeleton sea, the pressure on the escort team greatly reduced, and they turned to face the Bloodline Demons.
This group of Bloodline Demons were Abyss Summoners, each with strong combat power.
If there were only Elf Guards, facing such a regiment of Bloodline Demons, they might risk total annihilation.
But with the inclusion of human Superpower Users in the battle, they held off the attack of the Bloodline Demons.
Lu Heng drew his sword and charged into the midst of the Bloodline Demons, moving in and out seven times, as if entering a land uninhabited.
With every strike of his sword, he took a Bloodline Demon''s life.
Most Bloodline Demons, when critically wounded and dying, chose to self-destruct, releasing Crimson Blood that sprayed out several meters, and any who came into contact with it were eroded by the toxin.
Therefore, as the number of Bloodline Demons decreased, more Elves and Humans began to get injured.
Lu Heng repeatedly used Shadow Escape to dodge the Crimson Blood, killing so many Bloodline Demons that their heads rolled and their blood mist filled the sky.
A series of kill data appeared, scrolling energy figures.
[Kill Bloodline Demon Summoner, absorb 3000 points of Demon Energy.]
[Kill Bloodline Demon Summoner, absorb 3500 points of Demon Energy.]
In the midst of the slaughter, Lu Heng accumulated enough energy, a tide of energy stirring inside him, breaking through the level limit.
[Source Energy Level increased to 36, All Attributes +4, Agility Attribute additionally +1.2]
Rift Slash, Dragon Breath Slash, Wind Dragon Breathless Slash—he unleashed major skills consecutively, and the Bloodline Demons began to show signs of collapse.
More than twenty Bloodline Demons simultaneously activated their Defense Skills, but they couldn''t withstand the immense destructive power of Rift Slash and Dragon Breath Slash.
After Wind Dragon Breathless Slash swept more than a dozen Bloodline Demons into the sky, the Bloodline Demons faced total defeat and began to scatter and flee. S~ea??h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Human Superpower Users and Elf Guards continued to pursue the Bloodline Demons.
At this point, a human Superpower User quietly left the battle circle, moved towards the box on Eric''s mount, and revealed a greedy look in his eyes.
He quickly made up his mind, pressed his hand on the box, and was about to open it.
Just then,
Another human Superpower User pressed the box almost simultaneously, the two making eye contact, each seeing the greed in the other''s eyes.
The former forced the latter back with a swing of his knife, then smashed the box with a punch, intending to grab the Moon Well Spring Water inside.
At that moment,
Su Muyu, who had been keeping an eye on the battlefield, noticed their actions and shouted, "What are you doing!"
The two, realizing they had been exposed, stopped fighting each other and tried to grab the Moon Well Spring Water first.
Just as they reached into the box, a Chongming Bird swooped down and knocked them to the ground.
One of them cursed, "Who do you think you are playing so noble? Spring water that can enhance Skill Levels—who wouldn''t want it? Whoever gets it, it''s theirs."
The two rushed towards the box again, but before they could touch it, a figure flashed before them, and Lu Heng stood in front of them, sword in hand.
The two gritted their teeth and protested, "If you don''t want it, get out of the way. What right do you have to stop us?"
Lu Heng''s face was as calm as water, having already reminded these people in a previous meeting. Yet, someone still attempted the risky move.
Indeed, knowing that Moon Well Spring Water could enhance Skill Levels, anyone would be tempted.
Lu Heng was no exception.
Although he could upgrade skills using "Divine Evolution," it required the consumption of Divine Energy.
If he obtained the Moon Well Spring Water, he could directly upgrade his skills, equivalent to a large amount of Divine Energy.
Thus, Lu Heng was also tempted, but there was a line to be drawn on what could or couldn''t be taken.
Moreover, even if he wanted it, this was not the way to get it.
"Do you think just because I don''t stop you, you can get your hands on the Moon Well Spring Water?"
Lu Heng said, reaching into the box, pulling out a crystal bottle, and shaking it, shouting, "Look clearly! Is there anything in here? I already warned you, yet you still act. Why be so foolish?"
The two saw the empty crystal bottle in Lu Heng''s hand, their expressions froze, and they collapsed to the ground.
The crystal bottle was empty, not even filled with ordinary river water.
In fact, since the battle started, Eric hadn''t even glanced at the box, which was evident enough, yet some still fell for the trick.
After the battle, Fiona returned and commanded the Elf Guard to seize the two.
Lu Heng opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately held back.
These two who tried to snatch the Moon Well Spring Water were not among the team''s sixteen, but among the other four.
Superpower Soldiers of military lineage typically had good discipline and resisted their own greed.
Fiona ordered her men to take the two Superpower Users away and prepared to return them to Kolos City for disposition.
The attack by the Bloodline Demons had been repelled, and over thirty Bloodline Demons had been slain.
Since everyone had participated in the fight, they were judged to have contributed to the kills.
Thus, the Superpower Users participating in the mission had completed their first Challenge Task by killing twenty Abyss Summoners.
After the battle, the escort team continued on the road.
This time the team sped up a lot and arrived at Moonshadow Forest the next day.
Upon reaching the Moonshadow Forest, Fiona took out the Moon Well Spring Water and presented it to the Forest Elder, Seren.
Seren held the spring water, walked to the garden fence, and used the water to irrigate the seeds in the soil.
He used the Moon Well Spring Water very sparingly, dropping it drop by drop.
Fiona stood behind and asked, "Elder Seren, how are things progressing?"
