These blasphemous, grotesque, and deformed creatures have sharp, inward-curving claws on their lower bodies that stick firmly into the cracks and indentations of the rock wall and quickly climb up the vertical cave walls.
From a distance, it looks like a large group of ants climbing up a tree trunk, which makes people's scalp tingle and their hearts feel scared.
The most striking feature of these blasphemous monsters is the mottled and dirty reddish-brown marks on their skin, which look like traces of rust...
"what……"
Hill's face was extremely ugly. She instantly recognized these crooked monsters. If the team members all had night vision, they would all be able to recognize them. Any citizen of the Last Kingdom would be able to recognize them...
They are the shadows that have enveloped this land for billions of years, they are the nightmares that terrify every member of the Last Kingdom, they are the direct embodiment of the eternal curse, and they are tireless killing machines...
They are...
"The demons are coming! Everyone prepare to fight!"
Julian's gloomy and cold voice pierced through the darkness filled with horrible cries:
"The situation has changed, retreat!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his arm and swung his palm towards the empty space diagonally above him:
"The Light of Insight!"
"brush!"
A bright and dazzling yellow ball of light shot up into the sky, and the light it released instantly illuminated the dark space deep in the abyss. The team members also used this light to see clearly what was attacking them from below.
"Clean up the parts I missed, and make sure you give it your all!"
Julian's face turned slightly grim, and he knelt on one knee, raised one hand and slapped the wooden board of the platform:
"Please, Holy White Gate, grant us the cunning of the blade! The killing of winter! The fluttering of the moth! The bewitching dance of the heart!"
A dazzling light mixed with dark green, snow-white, indigo, and pink penetrated the platform, like a burst dam, gushing towards the group of evil spirits approaching rapidly below!

Chapter 461 Take action
“Boom! Boom!—”
It was like the roar of a huge rock rolling down, echoing in the empty and dark abyss.
A dazzling ball of bright yellow light rose rapidly at the speed of an arrow. The blooming light created a circle of cylindrical marks on the rock wall, and countless pitted stones flew downward in the light.
"Damn! How can there be so many!"
"I swear to Pure White! I have never seen so many evil spirits in my life!"
"So fast!"
Below the bright yellow ball of light, a wooden platform followed closely, with angry roars and exclamations coming one after another.
A faint pink glow supported the bottom of the platform, pushing it upward at an extremely fast speed, and the air made a whistling sound.
As a non-combatant, Hill was surrounded by the team members near the center of the platform. He looked around with a pale face, his eyes alert and surprised.
Great Elder Julian was half-kneeling two steps away from her, with his right palm pressed firmly on the floor, releasing a stream of multi-colored light that continuously gushed downward through the gaps in the wooden boards.
The dark green light like rain penetrated the pink mist at the bottom of the platform and fell straight to the bottom of the abyss. After flying a distance of more than ten meters, it expanded rapidly and differentiated into arc-shaped sharp blades, attacking the rock walls on all sides as if they had life.
"Oh! Oh! ..."
"Brush it!"
The rock wall below was filled with those foul ghosts made up of humanoid lower limbs and fleshy tentacle upper bodies. They were crowded together and indistinguishable from each other, but there was no sign of being constrained by the crowd.
Instead, they climbed up in a very coordinated and close manner, with an agility that was no less than the rising speed of the platform, and there was no way they could be shaken off.
The dark green shining blade slammed into the ocean of rusty ghosts like a tide, making an extremely disgusting, sticky and slippery tearing sound, and the headache-inducing ghost howling became more ferocious.
Almost every stream of sharp blade can cut a demon in half, causing it to lose its ability to move and fall off a cliff. The killing efficiency is astonishingly high.
"Snap! Snap! Snap! ..."
In addition to the dark green light, "snowflakes" made of pale ice crystals occasionally bloom on the rock wall, dotted on the rough stone wall like snow lotus on the cliffs.
Once the evil spirits are touched by these seemingly delicate and transparent "snowflakes", a large number of white ice crystals will rapidly grow from them, instantly piercing, tearing and dismembering the bodies of these monsters, causing them to explode into a dark red blood mist on the spot.
"Whirring whirring……"
In addition, there is indigo mist filling the space below, forming a hazy and fluffy barrier.
If the evil spirits that were not killed by the sharp blades and snowflakes tried to pass through this layer of mist, they would lose their way like drunkards, rushing around and pushing their companions to the ground.
Some even accidentally fell off the rock wall and into the abyss, with no telling whether they were alive or dead.
The multi-colored light gushing out from Julian's palms never stopped for a moment. Every minute and every second, a large number of evil spirits were dismembered and killed under the attack of dark green blades, snow-white ice crystals, and indigo mist.
However, the number of evil spirits on the surrounding rock walls did not decrease at all.
Looking downward, one can see that every inch of the rock wall below is covered with these monsters, stretching all the way to the end of the sight, and it is impossible to tell how many there are.
Endless.
"Ho!"
There were too many enemies, so it was inevitable that some would slip through the net. As time went on, an evil ghost finally broke through the obstacles and climbed to a height that was relatively consistent with the platform.
"Watch out! Fight back!"
The team members knew that it was time for them to play their role. Several archers shot arrows imbued with spiritual power without hesitation. Suddenly, several spiritual lights pierced through the darkness and hit somewhere on the rock wall!
The evil ghost had just rushed out of the indigo mist when several arrows carrying the force of thunder pierced through its body.
"Bam! Boom! Bam!..."
The function of those arrows is not just piercing. The spiritual power contained in them will be released after hitting the target, causing an extremely powerful explosion.
There was a dull explosion and a flickering flame, and the evil ghost that had just appeared was blown to pieces on the spot, with disgusting sticky liquid and body tissues splashing everywhere.
After scoring in the first match, the players did not get carried away, but instead their faces became more solemn.
Because they all know that this is just the beginning...
The first evil spirit that broke through the "defense line" had just been eliminated when the creepy screams were heard again from the surrounding areas.
"Oh! Oh! ..."
Two more evil ghosts appeared! One on the left and one on the right, their deformed and recurved legs straightened almost at the same time, and their three or four meter long bodies leaped directly from the rock wall and rushed straight to the platform!
"Attack! Attack!"
Several more arrows carrying spiritual power shot out.
Every combatant of Team No. 3 is a carefully selected elite warrior. Their realm is not very high and they are just "disciples". However, they are all battle-hardened and experienced, and their arrows never miss their targets.
Each one accurately hit the body of the attacking evil spirit.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
The explosions continued in unison! The two demons were undoubtedly blown to pieces in mid-air, with broken limbs and body tissues falling like rain.
Some of it even fell onto the platform, and once it touched the ground it quickly evaporated and rose into wisps of rust-colored haze, emitting an unbearable stench.
"Ho-"
"Damn, there are too many!"
However, before the archers could reload their arrows or crossbows, two more demons broke through the indigo mist and leaped up, casting shadows that enveloped everyone on the platform.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!..."
Swords were unsheathed! Under the illumination of the yellow light ball, the sharp blades reflected dazzling golden light, and the sharp tips were all pointed at the ghosts that were about to smash onto the platform.
The second "line of defense" was broken and hand-to-hand combat began!
The team members were all ready to fight these fierce and fearless killing monsters, but suddenly they heard a low roar from behind them -
"boom!"
It was a sound similar to that of rising flames, short, powerful, and extremely penetrating.
Before anyone realized what was happening, a huge ball of fire passed over their heads, and then a huge spark suddenly exploded from the body of the evil ghost that was already close at hand!
"Boom!!!"
The scorching waves hit them in the face, and all the team members were stunned for a moment. The evil ghost, who was the first to be hit, was blown to pieces by the violent shock wave, and his body, which was rushing forward, was stopped by the recoil force.
This also made them lose their only chance to jump onto the platform.
"Ouch!!!"
The unwilling roar gradually faded away as he fell without a doubt.
"……who is it?"
"what happened?"
Doubts arose in the team members' hearts.
It was obvious that someone had just released some kind of long-range offensive witchcraft...but except for Great Elder Julian, everyone present was a "disciple" wizard and had no ability to perform long-range attacks.
Julian is now concentrating all his strength on killing as many of the evil spirits crawling up from below as possible. How can he have the energy to support them?
So, who else could it be?
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look behind them, wanting to see who had just launched the attack that shot down the evil ghost and prevented everyone from getting into an extremely disadvantageous close combat.
"what!?"
But the person they saw surprised everyone.
The girl named Hill was seen holding a handful of tinder-like fluffy substance in one hand. She was standing straight, her orange eyes revealing extreme nervousness and anxiety.
Around her, several clusters of flames like flames swirled around her as if they had life.
Seeing everyone's gazes on her, her expression became much uglier, but there was no regret in her eyes.
Chapter 462 Working together
"Is this really a good idea?"
Qi Ji floated beside Hill the whole time, rising along with the platform as it rose rapidly in height.
When the orange-haired girl saw the demon breaking through two layers of "defense" and rushing towards everyone, and resolutely chose to cast a spell to expose his own strength, she just watched silently and did not say anything to dissuade him.
After the flames rose from Hill's palm and knocked down the two evil spirits, and the eyes of the team were focused on her, Qi Ji looked at her calmly and asked in a very charming tone.
"I……"
Hill felt the gazes suddenly converging on him, his heart pounding wildly, but there was no regret in his eyes.
Although the girl did not respond, Qi Ji could still see her answer to the question from her eyes: I can't turn a blind eye to the danger of my compatriots' lives.
Seeing this, Qi Ji smiled meaningfully and said nothing more. It was impossible to tell what she thought about this.
Hill didn't look at Qi Ji beside him. His eyes swept across the shocked or surprised faces of the team members, and he pursed his lips nervously.
She slowly spread her hands in front of her, showing the handfuls of tinder in front of everyone, and her mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to explain many things.
But after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally uttered one sentence:
