Chapter 66: Surprise attack (1)
Translator: 549690339
Just as the black beams were about to hit Zhao Hai and the others, an aqua blue Shield suddenly appeared around the alien. The shield looked thin and transparent, but the black beams didn’t do much to it.
As soon as the eight rays of black light disappeared, Grimm, who was standing on the head of the Xenomorphs, suddenly pounced in the direction of one of the rays of black light. Although Grimm was still wearing his armor, his body was surrounded by a light green combat energy. His speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from everyone’s sight.
At the same time, Merlin said to Zhao Hai in a deep voice, ” “Young master, step back.” Zhao Hai also knew that he had to listen to Merlin, so he immediately ordered the Xenomorphs to retreat.
At that moment, a few more beams of black light shot towards them. At the same time, Zhao Hai also noticed that the undead creatures he released had already annihilated the undead army of the undead mercenaries. Zhao Hai immediately commanded his undead creatures to rush towards the direction of the black light.
Zhao Hai and the others had already retreated to the back of the slope. The eight black magicians had also hidden in the forest. Therefore, Laura and the others could not see their movements at all.
When Zhao Hai released all the demonic beasts this time, he discovered something different. Previously, he only kept the demonic beasts and didn’t release all of them. Now that he released all of them, a projection of a screen suddenly appeared in front of him. On the projection, there were flashing small dots of different colors. The red dots represented them and the undead creatures that he had released, while the green dots represented the people of the makiddo trading company. There were also a few black dots that were hidden in the forest.
Zhao Hai tried to command the undead creatures to pounce toward a black spot. The undead creatures immediately moved and pounced toward one of the black spots.
Seeing that his command was working, Zhao Hai immediately ordered the undead creatures to stop. He counted the black dots and found that there were exactly eight of them. One of them seemed to be entangled with a red dot. Zhao Hai took a look and saw that it was the direction that green was heading towards. Another black dot was also heading in that direction while the other six black dots were pressing towards them. It seemed like they wanted to deal with them.
Zhao Hai immediately divided the undead creatures into seven teams. Six teams consisted of 200 undead creatures each and charged at the six black dots. The remaining 157 undead creatures were ordered to move closer to Zhao Hai. He was prepared to have the undead creatures protect him.
She softly chanted a few incantations, and a light barrier appeared around them, protecting the two of them. She didn’t cast it on Merlin because she believed that he could handle it. Her main task was to protect Zhao Hai.
As expected, the undead creatures split into seven teams immediately after Zhao Hai’s order. One team returned to their side and protected them while the other six teams pounced on the six black dots.
The six black dots also realized Zhao Hai’s intention. They immediately sped up and rushed toward Zhao Hai’s group. In their opinion, they only had a chance of winning if they were closer to Zhao Hai’s group. If they were surrounded by the undead creatures, they would be killed by Zhao Hai’s group sooner or later.
The undead mercenaries had gone through countless dangers, but the most dangerous one they had encountered was the pursuit of the Sinya family. When they were alive, each of them was a level Seven black magician. However, after being chased by the Sinya family, they had all become undead creatures. Now, their true level was only around that of a level six magician. If it wasn’t for the strange black magic, they wouldn’t have been able to run amuck on the continent.
The person who had chased them the last time was a level-eight expert. However, the level-eight expert had not fought them head-on at the beginning. Instead, he had used assassination techniques. He had killed the three of them first, then started chasing them.
If the other side hadn’t used assassination methods, they were confident that they could fight head-on with the other side and not lose. However, after losing three people, they didn’t have the confidence to fight head-on with the other side.
This time, the situation was even more dangerous because the enemy had two level-eight experts and so many undead creatures. It could be said that their chances of winning were low.
This time, they had taken the initiative to attack Zhao Hai and the others, not because they thought they had the ability to kill them, but because they wanted to see if they could escape from Zhao Hai and the others.
The few of them who had fought many enemies knew very well that if they turned around and ran at this time, they would most likely be chased down by Zhao Hai and the others. They would then be killed one by one. Therefore, they wanted to attack Zhao Hai and the others first to see what the result would be. Then, they would think of a way to escape.
However, they didn’t expect that Zhao Hai and the others were waiting for them to approach. If they had turned around and ran, it would have been a real problem for Zhao Hai and the others. However, by coming over, they had fallen into Zhao Hai and the others ‘trap.
Zhao Hai noticed that the black dots were not far from them. He quickly said to Merlin, ” “Grandma Merlin, they’re here.” Merlin nodded lightly. In fact, even without Zhao Hai’s reminder, Merlin knew that they were coming. Merlin was an 8th-level great mage, and he was very experienced in dealing with enemies. How could he not know that those guys were coming?
However, what Zhao Hai found strange was that even though the members of the immortal mercenary group were already approaching, he didn’t see their figures.
He could clearly see from the projection that those few people had already arrived at the periphery of the undead creatures that were protecting him. At this distance, he should be able to see the other party, but he didn’t even see a shadow. This was really strange.
Although Zhao Hai was curious, he also knew that now was not the time to ask. Moreover, he had just reminded Merlin. In addition, he now knew the location of those people, so he was not very worried.
The black dots were getting closer and closer to them. They were already in the middle of the undead creatures protecting them, but the undead creatures didn’t react.
Zhao Hai immediately understood the situation. Those people must have used some secret technique to make themselves invisible. That was why the undead creatures didn’t notice them and he couldn’t see them.
Zhao Hai did not make a move immediately. He trusted Merlin. If Merlin could not even discover this, then she would not have been able to become an 8th-tier great mage.
Furthermore, Zhao Hai still had one more trick up his sleeve, which was the alien.
The Xenomorph was an undead creature with a spiritual mutation. It was capable of spiritual attacks, and the thing that mages feared the most was naturally spiritual attacks. It was especially so for unexpected spiritual attacks, which no mage would be willing to encounter.
Zhao Hai stared at the projection in front of him, ready to strike at any moment. He looked more like a black magician. He could sit there without moving in such an environment, which was very strange.
In fact, Merlin had already sensed that those people had come in, but she did not move. A few 6th-level black Mages were nothing in her eyes. She just wanted them to get closer so that it would be more convenient for her to make a move. She had never worried about Zhao Hai’s safety because he had Merlin by his side. If things really went south, Zhao Hai could still enter the space. There was nothing for her to worry about.
At this moment, Zhao Hai suddenly realized that the black dots had stopped less than 10 meters away from him. Zhao Hai knew that the time had come. He shouted, ” “Attack!”
He was giving the alien an order. He didn’t need to shout, but he couldn’t help it. First, it was the simplest order, and second, it was to cheer himself up.
As soon as he spoke, Merlin was stunned. Just as he was casting the spell, he suddenly felt a strong burst of mind power from the Xenomorph on his body, which rushed toward the six people.
Merlin was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood Zhao Hai’s meaning. She immediately changed her spell. Originally, she was going to use an offensive spell to injure those guys first and then capture them into Zhao Hai’s space. However, she changed her mind now. She knew very well what the Xenomorph’s mental attack meant to a mage.
Although she didn’t know how Zhao Hai discovered those people, she didn’t have the time to think about it. She immediately chanted a few incantations and six water dragons appeared beside her, pouncing straight at the six people.
Just as Merlin’s water dragon took shape, six muffled groans were heard almost at the same time. Then, six figures appeared less than ten meters to the right of Zhao Hai’s group. These six people formed a semi-circle, surrounding them in the middle. It was obvious that they were preparing to use an offensive spell, but they were suddenly attacked by a mental attack. This had caused them to suffer serious injuries.
As soon as they appeared, the six water dragons had already reached them and wrapped themselves tightly around them. Zhao Hai immediately opened a spatial crack, and Merlin threw the six of them into the space as fast as he could.
Zhao Hai and Merlin finally heaved a sigh of relief. The timing of their attack had been perfect. Before the few of them could finish casting their spells, they had suddenly launched a mental attack, stunning them. Merlin had also seized the opportunity to trap them and send them into the space. Their cooperation was perfect.
The key to this was the projection that the dimension had released. The projection completely ignored the invisibility of the people. Their every move couldn’t escape Zhao Hai’s eyes. That was why Zhao Hai had the alien use a mental attack at the right time. If it hadn’t been for that, there would have been a huge battle.
