Absolute Death Game-Chapter 534 - 21: No Way Forward, Pursuers Behind_2

The soldiers then retreated to the periphery, and used machine guns to sweep fire at the enemy, but even so, the battle remained largely one-sided. These elite melee fighters were equipped with top-tier defensive gear for the operation. Although the machine guns had much higher penetration and killing power than arrows, this was still a game after all. The script where getting shot once would leave one lying on the ground doesn't work here. As long as they had blood left, they could hold on, not to mention Xiao Buli was continuously healing them from behind, so they fought more and more valiantly.

Since the hunters were not of high level, the beasts here were all common ones like wolves, leopards, wild boars, and the like, with the occasional tiger at most. For these elite melee fighters, such threats were indeed no threat at all; it was almost like slicing vegetables and cleaving melons as they slaughtered them thoroughly.

They quickly rushed into the midst of the soldiers designed at the back, and those soldiers, realizing they had no chance in a direct fight, immediately scattered and fled. The players were at a loss whether to chase or not to chase.

Xiao Buli, noticing how easily this guard army was defeated, felt somewhat surprised. In theory, the forces guarding the Teleportation Portal should be elite troops; it made no sense for them to be dispersed by these men in just a few moments. It seemed there must be a follow-up move.

However, no matter what the follow-up was, Xiao Buli took three steps as if they were two and arrived in front of the Teleportation Portal. This portal was similar to those in the real world but was slightly smaller than the one he had seen at the Ancestral Dragon's place—it was roughly a dozen meters in radius. The ground was paved with Obsidian, forming a well-like circle, with a complicated teleportation array drawn on the ground outside the rim of the circle. From the center of the well, a white light curtain emerged, forming an arch-like gateway above the teleportation portal.

Considering the current luminosity of the portal's light curtain, it should be in an activated state, but it was unknown what lay beyond it. Xiao Buli approached the portal's front and stared at the dazzling light curtain, slightly losing himself in thought.

"Boss, what do we do now?" A soldier approached Xiao Buli from behind and asked. Although they knew their mission was to dismantle the Teleportation Portal, they were temporarily unsure of how to proceed upon seeing the portal now exposed in front of them. What to do with the gate, blast it with a Fireball, or smash it with an axe?

However, at that moment, Xiao Buli seemed to be in a daze, staring blankly at the light curtain of the Teleportation Portal, leaving everyone watching their leader unsure of what to do next.

Just then, Xiao Buli shuddered all over, abruptly turning his head to look at everyone, his eyes flashing with an unusual brilliance.

"Boss, what's going on??" The soldier behind couldn't help but speak up again and asked.

Xiao Buli turned to look at the Teleportation Portal, then at his hands and legs, and suddenly as if he had an epiphany, said, "Destroy this thing for me."

Everyone standing behind was already impatient. Although the soldiers' formation had been broken, they hadn't left; they stood far away, watching the situation unfold, and the idle ones occasionally shot a couple of arrows. After all, they were behind enemy lines, and everyone was anxious to complete the mission so they could retreat quickly.

When Xiao Buli shouted to destroy the Teleportation Portal, there was no time to think further. They took up their battle-axes and Bone Hammers and marched forward, hammering ferociously at the base of the portal.

The base of the Teleportation Portal was made of some unknown stone, extremely hard, and it seemed to be protected by some sort of magical protection. Despite the great efforts of the players, the hammering had no effect, and the recoil caused their health to drop rapidly.

Seeing this was not effective, one player told the others to back off a bit, and with a Fireball formed in hand, flung it over with a whoosh, only to find that this action seemed to have some effect as the portal suddenly burst forth with a jet of white light.

Just as everyone felt a glimmer of hope, the player who had just been Casting the spell seemed to be struck by something and was violently thrown from the spot, and the white light curtain of the Teleportation Portal dimmed at that moment. A towering figure in pitch-black armor stepped out from the portal.

The dark figure was three meters tall, clothed entirely in iron armor, and the helmet on its head featured two sharp, horn-like projections. In its hand, it held a massive bone, seemingly a leg bone of some creature, which looked extraordinarily sturdy.

"It's the Demon General of the Demon Clan!" someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Everyone was shocked, having long known about the collusion between the Ancestral Dragon and the Demon Clan, but they hadn't expected that this Demon General would be hiding behind the Teleportation Portal, and it seemed that there were more than one shadowy figure following him.

"Quick, kill him; don't let him escape," Xiao Buli seemed to find a bit of the captain's resolve at this time and hurriedly shouted loudly.

The others also knew they couldn't let them get out, so they rushed toward the Demon General. However, not only was this Demon General tall, but he also possessed extraordinary strength. Swinging the Bone Hammer in his hands, he easily knocked several warriors flying to the side with the tremendous force of the wind he created. He then stepped out of the Teleportation Portal, followed by another dozen, one by one. After twelve Demon Generals had stepped out, they automatically lined up, tightly surrounding the Teleportation Portal. At that moment, the soldiers they had scattered also began to gather behind them, forming ranks. Once in formation, they raised the muskets in their hands towards the players in the middle. Now things were troublesome, with no way forward and pursuers from behind.

However, these soldiers and the Demon General didn't seem to be in a rush to attack; they simply quietly surrounded the players.

Xiao Buli's expression changed several times: "FUCK, this doesn't bode well," he muttered quietly, then raised his voice slightly to address everyone, "Everybady, prepare your Town-Return Talismans. As soon as I give the command, everyone teleport back immediately."

"But the Teleportation Portal..." A player who was close to Xiao Buli obviously felt some regret about not completing the mission.

"Shut up!" Xiao Buli said sharply, "Nothing is more important than life."

"Hahahaha..." A boisterous laugh came from behind the soldiers. They promptly split into two rows, creating a gap in the middle through which a tall and distinguished figure appeared, walking forward.

"What's this, in a hurry to go home?" Xiao Buli looked closely and saw that this old man was none other than the supreme leader of the Ancestral Dragon, Huo Guangxiong. He couldn't believe that he could meet his actual person in the game.

He saw Huo Guangxiong donned in black and gold interwoven armor with a military cloak draped over it, fluttering with the wind, truly carrying the air of a warlord. At this moment, he was coldly sneering at Xiao Buli and the others.

Xiao Buli also wore a faint smile, meeting Huo Guangxiong's gaze without being overshadowed. Huo Guangxiong glared for a while, finding that he couldn't intimidate Xiao Buli, his expression turned vicious as he said, "Little boy, you've lost. I knew you would launch a surprise attack from the sky. How do you like my strategy of drawing the enemy deep into territory? Quite skillful, huh?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Buli didn't appear surprised, and with a slight smile on his face, he replied, "Anyway, even if you anticipated it, so what? The outcome is not yet decided. Do you think this is all the preparation I have? How about we wait a bit and see who will win in the end?"

Upon hearing Xiao Buli's words, Huo Guangxiong burst out laughing, as if Xiao Buli had said the most ignorant and laughable thing in the world. "Little boy, do you think I don't know what you're planning? You're just dragging out the time, trying to give your thieves who snuck into our headquarters a chance, huh? Haha, give up on that hope, I've already arranged for them to be dealt with."

"What!" Hearing Huo Guangxiong's words, everyone behind Xiao Buli's face changed greatly, "To be discovered in advance..."

An expression of surprise appeared on Xiao Buli's face as well, but it was so exaggerated it almost seemed deliberately performed.
