Ye Ling can't just leave these people alone, he can't do such a thing yet.
Zhao Tiancheng tried his best to protect them, just so that they could come here to conduct research and find a way to close the channel.
We have already reached the last step, how could we just retreat?
But next, what we have to face will be a huge amount of demonized monsters, which are gradually approaching here.
I'm afraid these monsters have already arrived here before they finish their research.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling felt a headache.
Right now, he has no way to have the best of both worlds, one that can both block the progress of these monsters and defend this place.
I can't think of it even if I try hard. If there are many ninth-level experts here, maybe they can do it.
But the problem is that there is simply no way to find so many ninth-level experts now, and there is not even one in the entire team.
Ye Ling is only at the eighth level, and his spiritual pet Long Yue is an exception.
But even relying on Hazy Moon, there is no way to stop the progress of these monsters.
Now that Zhao Tiancheng is no longer in the team, Li Ming is the acting captain of the escort team. At this time, he has rested for a while and recovered a lot.
Noticing that Ye Ling seemed to have a frown on his face, he also felt something bad in his heart.
Dragging his exhausted body to Ye Ling's side, Li Ming asked nervously.
"Ye Ling, looking at the frown on your face, you must have encountered some problem again, right? If you have any problems, just tell me and I will work out a solution together."
After coming back to his senses, Ye Ling turned his attention to Li Ming and sighed softly.
"well!"
Seeing Ye Ling just sighing and not saying anything, Li Ming felt as if a cat had scratched him.
"If you have any problems, just tell me. What's the use of just sighing?
If you tell me, I might be able to help you think of a solution. It's now a time like this, and we should all face the difficulties together."
Hearing this, Ye Ling shook his head helplessly and asked Li Ming a question.
"We encountered many demonized monsters along the way, but now there are none nearby. Do you know what that means?"
After hearing this question, Li Ming thought for a moment and finally shook his head.
"What does it mean?"
He is a practical type, and thinking about problems in advance is not what he is good at.
Even though everything was explained so clearly, I didn't expect that this guy couldn't figure it out yet. Ye Ling could only explain it a little bit.
"There must be a lot of demonized monsters. The fact that they are not here means that these demonized monsters have been sent to various places in Shiwan Mountain to guard them.
Remember those monsters we met along the way? Those are the guardians.
We just broke through a path. If nothing else, other places are also protected by demonized monsters.
Now that we are here, I am afraid that we have attracted the attention of these demonized monsters, and now maybe... they are rushing back."
When he learned the news, Li Ming was stunned on the spot.
Good guy!
If this is the case, the problem may be really troublesome.
It’s not clear how big the Hundred Thousand Mountains is. There are demonized monsters guarding each level. When you come here, you just break through a path. The total number of monsters in the remaining places must be very staggering.
After a while, Li Ming came back to his senses and asked Ye Ling nervously.
"Ye Ling, what should we do now? If we continue to stay here, won't we be surrounded by monsters?"
Originally, I wanted to help myself find a solution, but unexpectedly, I had to ask myself again.
If there was a solution, could I have such a headache?
"No, I don't know what to do now.
The research progress is very slow, and I don’t know when these monsters will come back. I just hope they can come back slower.”
The problem is clearly before our eyes, but there is no solution.
He knew that the threat was close at hand, but he could only watch helplessly as it approached step by step, unable to escape, or even have no plan to resist.
Li Ming's brows knitted together, and he also understood the seriousness of this matter.
With a forced smile on his face, Li Ming whispered.
"Don't tell them the news for the time being. Let them concentrate on rest and research. Maybe... they can succeed?
Captain Zhao sacrificed himself to save us just so that we could complete our mission.
This mission... must not fail!"
His tone became firmer, and Li Ming was ready to die.
He didn't know whether he could succeed or not, but now that he had come this far, there was no way he could give up.
Ye Ling nodded lightly. He had no plans to tell others about this matter now.
First of all, it is hard to say, and secondly, it may affect the research of these researchers.
Now that there is still a little time, will the traffic police know how to consume and be able to succeed?
Ye Ling can only place his hope on this research now. Whether it will succeed or not depends entirely on God's will.
The two of them agreed not to tell other members about this incident for the time being, so as not to cause fear to them.
Looking at the researchers working hard, Ye Ling could only wait patiently.
I hope there will be enough time. Ye Ling can only think so and be as optimistic as possible.
…
On the other side, the remaining defeated soldiers under Alan's command were almost resting and recuperating at this time.
He sent a scout out to explore the place where the previous battle was fought to see if there were any enemies still there, but the scout had been gone for a while and no news had been sent back.
He couldn't help but wonder, something must have gone wrong.
Just when he was about to send out scouts again, someone suddenly came to report.
"Commander Alan! Something bad has happened. We found the brother who went to explore the road outside."
"What?! Take me to see it!"
Suddenly feeling something bad in his heart, Alan quickly followed his men to the location of the incident.
When I arrived here, I saw an orc lying on the ground dying, his chest rising and falling, as if he was about to die.
There was a lot of blood on his body, which looked relatively fresh, and it was obvious that he had been injured not long ago.
Alan slowly knelt down and looked into the injured orc's cloudy eyes and asked quickly.
"what happened?!"
The seriously injured orc heard a vague voice coming from his ears, and it was very difficult to open his mouth.
"Commander...Commander, run...run...those guys...are...catching up again."
It was just such a sentence, but it took a lot of time to finally say it.
And when the seriously injured orc finished saying this, his head turned to the side weakly.
