Joining the Battle
"Fight these invaders!"
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
The tunnel collapsed, but it did not attract the attention of anyone else.
Two beings at Sixth Stage were fighting, and the entire underground was filled with collapses and crumblings. Such things were everywhere, and only the sounds of the battle reached Linsey and Red's ears.
"..."
Linsey paused, then sighed softly.
The hissing sounds came from the Lizard Dragon, and the one fighting it was naturally the owner of the second wave of footsteps heard underground earlier— the Eyeless People.
The leaders of the two tribes fought a decisive battle.
These ordinary members could not remain uninvolved either; this was a corner where the battlefield extended.
After the small change, Hong picked up her Iron Pickaxe and prepared to continue digging.
But noticing Linsey's actions, she asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are we not continuing?"
Linsey nodded in reply:
"I encountered some trouble underground before, and these Eyeless People took the initiative to help me."
Red-handled Iron Pickaxe leaned against him, a slight smile playing on his lips, "So we're not digging a tunnel?"
Linsey put away his Meteorite Pickaxe, took out the Silent Edge, and rubbed it on his Iron Horn Great Bow: "We certainly shouldn't interfere in a battle at Sixth Stage, a war between two races. But in the battle happening right before our eyes, let's do what we can."
"..."
Hong's smile only deepened.
Without saying a word, she grabbed her Wood Poison Javelin and charged out.
Around the Crystal Valley cave, Lizard Dragon and Eyeless People are engaged in a bloody battle. The enormous lizard Lizard Dragon are like chariots, rampaging through the dark cave.
In contrast, the situation for Eyeless People is quite dangerous.
The underground inhabitants, caught off guard by the attack, could only hastily chase after the attackers and use soil and stones to form spears to fight these dangerous enemies.
Their only advantage is their hearing.
Their small size, combined with their keen senses, allows them to outmaneuver these Lizard Dragon with quick reflexes and agile movements.
But then a sharp, tearing sound rang out.
These Eyeless People who wanted to protect the forbidden area inevitably began to suffer casualties.
The Lizard Dragon's talent for controlling airflow can be extremely effective in underground spaces, posing a significant threat regardless of whether the airflow is hot or cold.
What prevented them from slaughtering the Eyeless People was, in fact, the Eyeless People's desperate struggle.
They were too close to the Lizard Dragon.
In this state, overly powerful attacks could easily injure their companions, so the Lizard Dragon reduced the frequency of its attacks.
Not long after, another Eyeless People was cornered.
The Lizard Dragon's massive body rammed directly into him, its green snake eyes filled with deadly malice.
Whoosh! In that instant, a jade-green javelin suddenly shot out.
The Lizard Dragon's open head was pierced horizontally, and the immense force sent its body crashing into the wall.
"..."
The Eyeless People, who was originally in dire straits, was completely stunned.
It heard a sharp tearing sound as the Lizard Dragon in front of it flew sideways, crashing directly into the cave wall, its head emitting strange sounds of flesh decaying.
"The first one!"
The red figure followed closely behind.
She pulled the Wood Poison Javelin from the Lizard Dragon's head, her aggressive eyes searching for her next target.
Not far away, Linsey also launched his attack.
Unlike He Hong, who entered the scene instantly like a thunderbolt and launched a massive attack.
Linsey's combat strategy was calm and indifferent.
He first used his enchanted Iron Horn Great Bow to fire Silent Arrow, killing a Lizard Dragon in a single sneak attack, before switching to his new weapon and continuing the fight.
After engaging in battle with the Eyeless People, none of the 14 Lizard Dragon suffered any losses.
But when Linsey and Red suddenly joined the battle, five of them died in the blink of an eye, and the remaining nine Lizard Dragon also noticed the change in the situation.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
"They've been ambushed! Kill them all!"
The next second, a chaotic and violent flow of air surged through the cave.
The air here is distorted by the high temperature, while the air over there may be so cold that it makes people shiver.
The Lizard Dragon's attacks were completely unpredictable.
Each of them attacks everything around them as much as possible, striving to ensure that there are no enemies—or even their own kind—around them.
When facing an enemy that threatens one's life.
These cold-blooded creatures have completely lost their previous 'caution' and only seek to ensure their own safety.
And the fact is, this kind of defense is also very effective.
If Linsey and Red were to launch an attack despite their own injuries, they could certainly kill one or two Lizard Dragon.
But this price is not something they can accept.
Red tried to throw the Wood Poison Javelin, but the turbulent air currents in the air affected the accuracy of the shot, not to mention the Lizard Dragon's own tough body.
The girl turned to look at Linsey:
"I'm going in to play with them. You keep an eye on them for me."
"Don't rush!" Linsey certainly couldn't let Red trade injuries for injuries. "Let me think..."
Just then.
The Eyeless People had just been suppressed, interrupted Linsey's train of thought.
Upon seeing the two who had offered assistance, they immediately understood that this was a turning point in the battle. These brave warriors, who dared to take the initiative to face the crisis during wartime, did not hesitate at all before taking action.
"They are the elder's guests!"
"Help! Fight them!"
Accompanied by shouts.
In the blink of an eye, a Eyeless People rushed toward the Lizard Dragon's defensive perimeter.
Although they are not as strong as these Lizard Dragon, their sense of responsibility and courage make them fearless of death.
Bang—boom!
A Eyeless People charged forward, its body instantly constricting in the scorching air. Enduring the agony of impending death, it used its Essence talent to push aside the surrounding earth and rocks.
"Ah!"
A mournful cry rang out.
It used its own body and the earth and rocks to carve out a gap in the dense airflow.
This is also a window of opportunity for an attack!
The same scene is playing out in different places.
They could be roasted alive by the scorching airflow, or frozen into corpses by the icy airflow.
At the cost of lives.
These Eyeless People are opening attack windows in each defensive perimeter.
"..."
Linsey was deeply moved by what she saw.
These Eyeless People's Essence talents are certainly no match for the earth-shaking scene of that Sixth Stage elder; they can only manipulate the soil and rocks around their bodies.
But it was this determination and reckless choice that made it possible.
They gave these intruders who launched the attack their final blow!
"Call--"
Linsey took a deep breath to calm herself down.
He knew very well that the gaps opening in the air currents before him were opportunities that Eyeless People had bought with their lives.
Even if she felt reluctant, she couldn't hesitate at this moment! Linsey immediately switched to her Iron Horn Great Bow, and as she fired, all her unspeakable emotions turned into a shout, "Red, do it!"
