Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1059: Giant's Hall

The dark red flame clouds swirled up and down like a banner, sweeping across a patch of Shadow Devils. The shadow devils swept past by the fire clouds were all motionless. Then, their bodies scattered, and the part of their bodies that came into contact with the fire clouds instantly disappeared, directly turning into nothingness. The pressure in front of Allen diminished. The Shadow Demon fell and saw the shield wall formed by the Mountain King warriors. Seeing Alan, the warrior separated from him. Alan raised his saber and closed the shield wall. Then, the sharp claws of the formation scratched the shield.

After the line of defense, Alan saw Edward. He pointed at the enemy from time to time, and a whirlwind blew in the Shadow Demon. The Shadow Demons were brought out of balance by the whirlwind, and the infantry's guns would shoot at them. Edward did not directly participate in the battle, but used his ability to constantly interfere with the attack of the Shadow Demon, creating opportunities for his side's warriors. Another tornado was released, and more than a dozen Shadow Devils flew up into the air, causing a burst of chaos when they fell down. Edward sighed and said, "We won't be standing guard for long. They still have reinforcements."

"I just found out. I miscalculated. I thought I could eat them." Alan smiled bitterly and said resolutely, "Prepare to break out of the encirclement. I hope we can get rid of them."

Edward shook his head and said, "That would be even worse for us. I've just asked Ian about it. Apart from the Hundred Eyes Cave, there's no other place in the Arkabee Corridor to limit the number of Shadow Devils, at least not on the road today."

"But defending is still not the way."

"I know, so I have to think of another way. There are many natural grottoes here. Perhaps there are passageways connecting the grottoes."

"You mean, transfer from here to other grottoes?"

"That's probably what I meant."

As the two of them talked, whistling sounds could be heard from behind the defensive line. Alan raised his head and saw new Shadow Devils appearing on the cliffs on both sides of the Rift Valley Bend. They crawled on the cliff like lightning, like tides of ash coming from both sides of the cliff. Above the defensive line, the Inch Fire Archers began to shoot towards the cliff. Shadow Demons continued to fall from both sides of the grey tide. Unfortunately, the blank space created by the Flame Fighting Rifle would soon be filled by the other Shadow Demons.

It was as if all the Shadow Devils in the Shadow Land had poured into the Rift Valley. The amount of Shadow Devils was so large that one's scalp felt numb.

Alan immediately ordered the Inch Fire Sagittarius to leave the cave above. Otherwise, the moment the grey tide arrived, the small number of people would instantly be drowned. Fares roared as he began to retract the defensive line into the cave, intending to use the cave space to limit the Shadow Demon's attack. After the shooter came down, he retreated behind the line with Lucy and Adele, changed magazines quickly, and raised his gun to stand by. At this time, the Mountain King's shield wall had already retreated to the entrance of the cave. The grey tide of the Shadow Demon repeatedly assaulted the shield wall, but its efforts were in vain. Laura, Regis, and the others would occasionally cross the shield wall and charge into the Shadow Devil's ashes to relieve the pressure on the defensive line.

At this moment, strands of lime rose from the top of the cave. Alan Red King raised it and held his breath as he looked at the top of the cave entrance. Suddenly, a Shadow Demon poked its head out. Just as it stretched out its head, its head immediately blossomed and was shot to death by a shooter. Following that, the heads of the Shadow Demons popped out one after another. As expected, they attacked from above the cave. Red King waved and Alan shouted, "Fire!"

The Fierce Fire Rifle roared once again, and a rain of bullets swept over the cave. The Shadow Demon was constantly swept down. Even if the Shadow Demon didn't die, it would still be killed by the soldiers below. Alan had Lucy and the other two lead the shooters to defend against the Shadow Devils from above, while he pounced on the defensive line and stood at the front of the line with Regis and the others to defend against the Shadow Devils' attacks. The Shadow Demons continued to attack like crazy, and even Alan felt great pressure. All Alan could do was wield his saber mechanically, and Red King burst into flames. Every time he slashed, he would slash down a shadow devil. However, even so, the Shadow Demon seemed to be endless, and Origin Energy was rapidly depleting like a flood that had opened a sluice gate.

"Back! Back!" This was the third time Fares had ordered the line of defense to retreat, thus making room for nearly ten meters of space at the entrance of the cave. However, as they moved inward, the space in the cave gradually narrowed, causing the defense line to tighten further, making it difficult for the Shadow Demon to break through. The explosive flames on Allen's saber had disappeared. At this moment, even Red King, who had ignited the explosive flames in Origin Energy, had to be saved. He carefully used every bit of Origin Energy and squeezed every bit of his physical strength to defend his position for a few more seconds.

At this moment, the ground trembled slightly. Alan cut off a few heads and looked out of the cave. He instantly took a deep breath. The two trolls were dragging their hammers as they rushed over. The hammers plowed across the ground, lifting up the gray shadow demons on both sides. Alan pointed in the direction of the troll, "Adele!"

At the end of the scream, a troll on the left flew out of its thigh and knee. At the same time, a large portion of its skin and flesh was torn off. The sound of the sniper rifle echoed in the cave, causing the people's ears to rumble endlessly. The troll staggered and fell, suppressing the dozen or so Shadow Devils in front of him, exposing his large head at the same time. How could Adele be so courteous as to shoot the troll in the head again. That big fellow's head immediately exploded, and he didn't even scream as he died on the spot.

But at this time, another troll had already pounced at the entrance of the cave. The troll raised its war hammer and let out a muffled roar. A hammer struck the mountain wall at the entrance of the cave, causing the earth to shake. Large slabs of mountain wall rock were smashed into pieces, crashing down, crushing down the Shadow Demon that was still charging into the cave. The troll continued to smash into the cave. Rocks kept falling down. Stones of all sizes began to block the light outside the cave. Suddenly, blood splattered all over the troll's chest, and Adele fired another shot. The troll was pushed back by the sniper's kinetic energy, and its chest caved in. Seeing that he was about to fall, a red figure jumped onto the giant demon's head. It was another Crimson Shadow Demon. The Crimson Shadow Devil's fingers stabbed into both sides of the Giant Devil's head, and fierce light began to appear in the Giant Devil's eyes.

When an unnaturally scarlet red color appeared on his skin, the troll rushed to the entrance of the cave like a madman and smashed it fiercely. It was shot and blossomed one after another, but the troll did not die, and Adele even blew half of its head off. Seeing this, Alan could only ignore Origin Energy's consumption and sweep across the cave. A scarlet light streaked out of the cave. A large amount of Shadow Demons fell like straw, and the light streaked across the Giant Demon's waist. The troll was immediately sliced at the waist, and its body slid down. The remaining half of its head looked at Alan with one eye, and it stopped breathing with unwillingness.

Alan slashed out with his saber, causing his heart to beat faster. Finally, a burst of exhaustion surged in his body. He almost wanted to lie down on his back and sleep with it, but he didn't dare to let himself sit down like this. At this moment, the ground began to shake again. Alan saw that the third troll had no time to react as it slammed into the mountain wall at the entrance of the cave.

The entire cave shook violently. The cracks in the Grand Dao extended from the entrance of the cave to the inside, and countless sand and stones scattered down. Allen's eyes widened as he shouted, "Back! Back! Quick!"

Rumble! Under the continuous impact of the trolls, the cave finally collapsed. Large boulders fell like rain, killing the Shadow Demon and blocking the light. Alan followed the warriors and retreated until they reached the middle of the cave. Only then did the tremors finally stop. However, the surroundings were dim. Only when someone lit a torch did they finally let the people see the environment in the cave clearly. Allen casually slashed down the last Shadow Devil. He looked at the densely packed rocks blocking the exit and sighed, "We should be cavemen now."

Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "This joke isn't funny at all."

Fares walked over and knocked on the rocks. "Maybe we can blow them up," he said. josei

Alan touched a crack with his hand and shook his head, "That would only make things worse. The mountain in Hundred Eyes Cave is already fragile, and now it's even more loosened by the troll. If we blow it up again, the rocks won't explode, and we'll be buried alive."

"Then what should we do now?" Lucy asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way. Everyone, rest first." Alan pulled her back. Fortunately, the cave was large and deep enough to be surrounded by carriages and horses. In the middle of the field was a marching carpet with some wounded soldiers lying on it. Alan walked around the wounded soldiers without saying anything. He only tied the bandages on them and wiped away the bloodstains and other trivial tasks.

However, the soldier's gaze was a little different when he looked around. Alan patted Fares on the shoulder and said, "Let's eat and drink." He walked to Shawn and the other merchants. Shawn saw him come over and stand up. Alan swept past them and said, "We'll get out."

Shawn nodded.

"Sir! Sir!" Someone shouted from behind. Alan turned around, but Abel ran over. He panted heavily, but his face was filled with excitement as he pointed to the back of the cave, "There's wind, there's wind."

There is no doubt good news that there is air flow when there is time. Allen was refreshed and patted Abel on the shoulder. "Let's go, let's see."

In the depths of the cave, Abel held a torch and pressed it against a rough and uneven mountain wall. As expected, the flames started to shake as soon as the torch got close to this place. The Maritans were the most sensitive to air currents. Edward immediately sensed it carefully and nodded, "The wind comes from behind. I can feel it through the shock of the air currents. There's a huge space behind this wall. It's hard to say if we can get out, but at least we don't have to be buried alive here."

Ellen pulled out Red King and said, "Stay back. I'll try."

Apart from the explosive flames, Red King was also extremely sharp. After Allen activated his Origin Energy, three inches of vermilion light shot out from the edge of the blade, making it even sharper. He walked to the wall and stabbed it. Red King easily stabbed into the mountain wall. Allen drew his saber and connected a few sabers, cutting a square hole in the wall. Allen looked at the people behind him and gently pushed them. The rocks fell forward with a loud crash, and the sound of the rocks falling to the ground echoed continuously. Despite the darkness in front of him, as Edward had said, there was indeed a huge space behind the cave.

Abel raised his torch and threw it into the darkness. As the flames swept across the dark world, Alan saw towering pillars that supported the vast space in the mountains. This was like a stone hall where giants lived. Outside the cave, a stone path followed the mountain wall towards the underground stone hall. When the torch disappeared into the darkness, the crowd inside the wall still hadn't regained their senses.

At this time, Father Ian, who was standing behind him, squeezed out and muttered, "Is this … a big underground tunnel?"
