The warrior stood behind the bushes, holding an alloy bow and aiming an arrow at one of the demons.
The steel arrow accurately pierced the back of one demon, but the demon did not fall. It turned around and glared angrily at the direction the arrow came from, charging over with extremely awkward movements. The other two demons roared in anger and followed closely behind.
This time, the warriors of the second squad did not lure the three demons away. Instead, three native hunters in the squad charged at the demons like bulls, holding the square shields used by the second squad's warriors, and collided solidly with the three demons.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
A series of heavy collision sounds echoed.
Unexpectedly, the three native hunters were not at all inferior to the three demons in strength.
One of the demons tried to pierce through the square shield of the native hunter with its claw blades, but the five sharp claws got stuck in the shield. The native hunter seized this opportunity and, with all his might, flipped the shield, forcefully breaking the demon's claw blades at the wrist.
The demon let out a piercing scream, and its other claw blade lunged at the native hunter's head. The native hunter swung the shield again, colliding heavily with the demon's claw blade.
The claw blade pierced through the shield and stabbed five bloody holes in the native hunter's arm, but the native hunter seemed to feel no pain. He pulled the one-armed demon into his embrace and punched it hard on the head, producing a crisp sound of bone breaking from the demon's spine.
Suldaek and He Boqiang followed behind the native hunter. Seeing the demon entangled by the native hunter, Suldaek quickly thrust his Roman sword into the demon's body along the ribs, trying to press the hilt as low as possible to pierce the demon's heart.
At the same time He Boqiang jumped up and thrust his Roman sword into the back of the demon's neck.
This was the weak point He Boqiang had found on the demon. Only the back of the neck could be easily pierced by the Roman sword, and only by decapitating the demon could it be truly killed.
The demon's body collapsed like a skyscraper. Suldaek pulled out the Roman sword from the demon's heart, kneeled on the demon's chest, and swung the sword fiercely, chopping off the demon's head with several strikes.
When he looked up, he realized that the battle with the other two demons was not going well.
...
The situation for the other two native hunters was not good. After colliding with the demons, although the two demons had not yet adapted to the world's laws of this plane, this did not prevent them from stabbing their claw blades into the native hunters' bodies.
As soon as they engaged, the two native hunters were pierced through by the claw blades. Fortunately, the claw blades only caused through-and-through wounds, piercing through the shields, forearms, and upper arms directly into the native hunters' chests.
The two native hunters did not fall, and although blood gushed from their wounds, they did not show much pain.
The two hunters struggled to tightly embrace the demons in front of them and then fell to the ground, rolling continuously in the forest.
Several warriors held spears, intending to stab the demon with the broken wrist to the ground, hoping to kill it directly.
Their spears were very sharp, but with the demon entangled with the native hunter, the spears could not find an opportunity to strike, often sliding past the demon's body. Other warriors held Roman swords, trying to cut off the demon's head while it rolled on the ground with the native hunter, but they could not find an opportunity.
The two new recruits in the squad were even more at a loss, several times trying to rush forward to show their bravery, but failing to injure the demon and blocking their comrades' attack routes.
The scene became extremely chaotic.
Suldaek spat on the ground and shouted, "Let me handle it..."
With that, he charged forward with a Roman sword.
...
Bakary, the swordsman, rushed up from behind. He did not help the two native hunters.
Instead, he directly passed the three native hunters in the forest and pounced on the green-faced demon leaning against the stone wall, which had become the gateway for the demons.
As long as this green-faced demon was killed, the gateway on its body would naturally disappear, and no more demons would crawl out.
At this moment, a faint Crusader swordsman's shadow appeared behind Bakary, moving in unison with him. It seemed as if Bakary's body was filled with infinite strength, and with each step forward, his speed increased. After a few steps, his body actually left a trail of afterimages.
The green-faced demon, leaning against the stone wall, saw Bakary charging and smiled cruelly. It reached out and tore at the wound on its chest, and three ghostly hands emerged from the wound. Bakary increased his speed to the maximum, leaped high, and raised his large sword over his head, chopping down at the green-faced demon.
Although the green-faced demon could not move while leaning against the stone wall, it was not defenseless. It held a bone club and met Bakary's sword, producing a sharp metallic sound as the large sword struck the bone club.
The bone club failed to completely block the large sword, which left a cut on the demon's forehead.
A thread of purple blood trickled down the green-faced demon's forehead.
The green-faced demon let out a painful groan, and the three ghostly hands emerging from its chest continued to widen the wound, emitting green smoke. However, this did not affect their ability to fight, and the three hands simultaneously reached for Bakary. Bakary regretfully stepped back to avoid the ghostly hands.
Failing to kill the green-faced demon and destroy the gateway immediately, and with three more demons about to crawl out, Bakary became even more anxious. He swung his sword horizontally at the green-faced demon, who seemed powerless to resist but was blocked by the three ghostly hands.
One ghostly hand was cleanly severed by Bakary, and the other two were deeply wounded, but this did not stop the three demons from crawling out of the green-faced demon's body. Bakary used his large sword to push away the demon's bone club and, with a swift downward stroke, decapitated one of the struggling demons.
Before Bakary could pull back his sword, several ghostly hands from the green-faced demon's abdomen grabbed the blade tightly.
Bakary refused to let go of his sword, and the demon's bone club came down on his head.
At this moment, the Crusader swordsman's shadow behind Bakary moved, and the shadow used both hands to support the bone club held by the green-faced demon...
For a moment, the green-faced demon and Bakary were locked in a stalemate, but the situation was clearly unfavorable for Bakary, as a demon was about to crawl out of the gateway. Once a demon emerged, Bakary would have to abandon his sword and retreat.
He Boqiang, who was helping the native hunters kill the other two demons, saw this and immediately ran towards Bakary.
