"boom--!"
Unseen by the heroes outdoors, a streak of light flashed across the sky and crashed down in front of the stronghold.
The heroes' meeting was interrupted, and they immediately perked up.
However, what followed immediately was a message appearing in the chat group in front of us—
[The Dragon Warrior has joined the chat group!]
Dragon Warrior: Is anyone there?!
The moment Lana joined the chat group, she immediately asked a question in the public chat.
[Fighting Heroes: You're Back?]
Qiu and I are all on the second floor.
Immediately afterward, the heroes heard the sound of the door being forcefully opened, followed by the thumping of footsteps.
Covered in blood, Lana appeared before everyone's astonished eyes, carrying the Hero of Medicine and the Hero of Lightning.
"Save...come with me to save David!" she cried out in grief and indignation, tears welling in her eyes.
"Help...come with me to save David!"
He stayed there by himself! Come with me to rescue him!
Lana screamed, spitting out a mouthful of blood with each exhalation. Her own health had already dropped to a certain level and was still decreasing.
Not only Lana, but also the Thunder Hero Michael and the Medicine Hero Sne, whom she carried up, were on the verge of death.
"Calm down!" Blazer stood up. "Flandy!"
Franti immediately summoned a green bamboo flute and played a healing melody.
A green light rose from the three of them, and their health points began to slowly recover.
"Eat first."
The Moon Warrior Apollo happened to be carrying food he had brought back from human territory, so he quickly put down his backpack and unfolded the food inside.
"Who's in the mood to eat?!" Lana shouted angrily, her eyes bloodshot.
Immediately afterwards, the light in her eyes vanished, and her legs gave way, causing her to collapse to the ground.
It looks like he's fainted.
The group of heroes had already recovered from their astonishment and were watching this scene with serious expressions.
“Let’s heal them before they wake up,” said Seitz, the Halberd Warrior.
"Besides the Flute Heroine, the only one here who can heal wounds..."
"And there's also Miss Medicine Hero."
"She has medicine in her hair, do you know how to use it?"
"No...that won't happen."
John, the Ice Warrior, stepped forward: "First, stop the bleeding."
He stood in front of Lana, his hands emitting a chilling aura that froze Lana's bleeding wounds.
The heroes quickly sprang into action, finding several pieces of cloth to lay on the ground for them to lie down.
They didn't know what had happened to the Dragon Warriors team, and now they could only wait for the three of them to wake up.
"The Hero of Thought failed to return. Was he captured by a high-ranking demon?" Lion Hero Xingu asked in a deep voice from the side.
No one spoke.
Not only could they be captured, but there's also a possibility they could be killed.
However, no one wanted to say those words.
The Sky Heroes Squad was already in great danger, but judging from the current situation, the Dragon Heroes Squad is in even greater peril.
After examining the injuries, Lana's injuries were the most severe. Although she hadn't suffered any broken bones, the numerous wounds all over her body told everyone that she had taken almost all the damage.
The injuries on the Thunder Hero and the Medicine Hero were clearly caused by magic, indicating that the three of them must have been caught in some kind of wide-range attack magic.
Lana alone couldn't withstand that kind of damage, which is why things turned out this way.
After cleaning the blood off the three of them, they realized that neither Michael nor Sini had any obvious wounds.
It was as if blood was gushing from all over their bodies; the two heroes were turned into blood-soaked figures in a very short time, and the heroes couldn't even imagine what that scene was like.
"At your current level, you can only defeat level nine demons, right?"
The Dragon Warriors team left around the same time as us, so their levels should be quite similar to ours.
A clear, blue voice came from the side;
When a hero dies, his teammates in the same squad will know the news.
Since Miss Dragon Warrior asked us to rescue people, it means that the Hero of Thought is still alive.
But... only a level ten demon, or even a level eleven or twelfth demon, could have injured them like this.” Wu
"I'll report this situation and request assistance from the Hero Alliance," said Apollo, the Moon Hero.
"Who can help us?" Blazer, the Warrior of Battle, asked in a deep voice.
The heroes quickly found the answer in their minds.
They're nothing more than the warriors at Silvermoon Fortress who are frantically leveling up.
Their strategy prioritizes level and attributes, so their current level must be quite high, enough to deal with stronger demons.
And then... there's the Saintess Squad, who haven't returned yet. (Private)
The heroes didn't know the extent of the four's strength, but if they were there, they would surely be able to come up with a solution.
"Didn't Her Highness and the others send the intelligence back to human territory?"
"If we start from the human city over there and find the nearest demon city, we should have a chance to find them, right?" the Halberd Warrior Setz pondered.
"possible."
"They should be in some viscount's city. Once you get there, just keep trying to join the chat group and you'll be able to contact them."
“I’m more agile, so I’ll go find them,” Seitz said.
“No.” The Demon Warrior Rox shook her head. “Aren’t there other candidates who are even faster?”
There are also highly agile warriors in human territory, whose primary attribute is agility.
"The Swift Warrior is right here at the supply depot!" Apollo exclaimed excitedly.
Felia was considered reliable enough by everyone.
Blazer nodded: "Once the three members of the Dragon Warriors team wake up, we'll try to find a way to rescue them."
The task of informing the Saintess Squad is entrusted to the Agile Hero.
Lan said, "Then, we will stay behind as planned to be responsible for transporting supplies and transmitting intelligence."
All the heroes present glanced at her.
However, there was no objection.
Saying such things at this time sounds like a sign of cowardice.
In such an emergency, shouldn't everyone be brought together to do everything in their power to save lives?
Upon further reflection, the Sky Hero Squad had probably already used their special abilities in their previous encounter, and they did indeed need someone to stay behind, so they said no more.
Soon, Felia received the intelligence.
Without any hesitation, she immediately went back to inquire about the location of the Saintess Squad.
No matter how many floors she had to search, even if it meant returning to the Aldrich Theocracy, she was determined to find out about the Saintess Squad.
As for the heroes at Silvermoon Fortress, none of them requested their assistance.
Since Silvermoon Fortress can quickly level up by first killing ordinary demons, the heroes here can do the same.
If the situation truly becomes urgent enough, they can also employ this strategy.
Meanwhile, in a baron's city of the demon race—
C-Rank Dungeon: Spider City
Mission objective: Capture the city (0/1)
Killed the Corrupting Giant Spider (0/1)
Recommended by: 100+
Recommended level: Lv50~Lv100
When they first entered the surrounding baron city, all three of them except An Yi wondered if they had come to the wrong place.
Because this place is a dense rainforest that stretches as far as the eye can see.
If they hadn't received a notification upon entering Baron City, they wouldn't have known that there was a demon city here.
The trees here are towering into the clouds, but their branches are twisted and their leaves are dark red or deep purple.
The sky over the demon realm was already gray, with the scarce sunlight almost entirely blocked by the dense canopy of trees, making the entire rainforest appear dark and oppressive.
The air was thick with the smell of decay and damp stench, and swamps and underground rivers were randomly scattered in any place where one could or could not set foot.
Lycorina: "Let's go somewhere else!"
An Yi: "Since we're already here..."
Layton: "That's true. We're already here, and this is just the Baron's territory. Nothing can hurt us."
Miluko: "..."
I don't want to go in anymore!
Once inside the Baron's City, they searched for quite some time before finally finding a small settlement in the rainforest, a rare clearing in the rainforest.
I asked the local demons and learned that this place is not like a normal demon city, with traditional houses and walls. All the demons live hidden in the rainforest.
Aside from intelligence, their lifestyle is basically the same as that of wild beasts searching in the primeval forest.
