I rely on myself

Chapter 394 Unexpected Rescuer

"Oh, should I say that you are amazing? Not only did you sense the danger, but you also calmed down in a short period of time and found the most feasible escape plan. Given time, you may become famous adventurers like the Brave, the Sword Princess, and the Heavy Hero. What a pity..."

A voice filled with praise and admiration came from one direction and reached the ears of the four people.

The moment they heard the voice, the four of them subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from and shouted, "Who is it?"
But when they looked in the direction where the sound came from, they saw a deserted street. Not to mention people, there was not even any debris. Just when they were thinking in their hearts, "There's nothing here," someone reacted.

That was Lao. He was the first to notice something was wrong around him after entering the street. He was also the first to react and realized that this was the opponent’s way of attracting attention. So what was the enemy’s back-up plan?

'Behind us!!!'

The answer suddenly appeared in Lao's mind like lightning. He quickly turned around and looked behind him, only to see two people wrapped in black robes, with no exposed figures, who appeared behind them at some point.

After all, he used some unknown means to quietly get to a very close distance behind them.

Seeing this scene, Lao was frightened and his face turned pale, but he did not forget to remind his companions, shouting: "Behind us! The enemy is behind us! They have been approaching us without knowing when!!!"

At such a close distance, and still shouting, Lao's words were of course heard by Anna, Dino, and Bisca. At the same time, they instantly realized what was going on and turned to look behind them.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the two men who had quietly approached Anna and the other three at some point were not too disappointed. After all, being this close, they thought that things were basically settled.

After all, they were just a few kids. Even if they showed good vigilance and reaction ability, that was all.

They didn't think that they, just a few children, could escape from the hands of these people who had done them favors.

You know, even if their levels are not very high, the ability improvement brought by grace is not something these little ghosts can resist.

So even though the matter seemed to have been exposed, neither the two people who had been exposed nor the other figures who had not yet appeared were worried at all.

And this is indeed the case. Among the group, Lao was at the end of the team, so he naturally became the primary target.

Looking at Lao who was closest to him, one of the two people whose figure was exposed did not hide any more and immediately burst out at an astonishing full speed. In a breath, he had approached Lao and stretched out an arm to capture him.

Although Lao really wanted to dodge and even avoid it, the huge gap in basic abilities made it impossible for his body to react. He could only watch the arm getting closer and closer to him.

Just before Lao was about to be caught, a cold light suddenly appeared and silently slashed towards the throat of the man who attacked Lao. It was obvious at a glance that this was intended to kill him with one blow.

Seeing the cold light coming from nowhere, the figure who was about to succeed did not care about Lao who was close to him and tried to avoid it quickly, but even so he could not completely avoid the cold light.

Although he avoided the throat, a vital part, a big wound was severely cut on the outstretched arm, and blood splattered directly from it, like a flower made of blood blooming in the air.

"Damn it, who is it!?"

The attacker who barely escaped the attack covered the wound on his arm and shouted in a panic. However, his question was not answered. The person who blocked him saw that the attack was not completely successful, so he did not make any advances and directly retreated to Anna and the others to take a defensive posture. Could it be that the cold light before revealed its true identity, that it was the sharp blade in his hand?

Seeing this sudden change, not only the people lurking in the dark, but also Anna and the others were caught off guard.

Looking at the person protecting them, Anna said hesitantly: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Although Anna was very grateful to the man in front of her for saving Lao, she couldn't be sure what the other party's plan was, so to be on the safe side, Anna asked about the other party's identity and was prepared for a quarrel.

The figure protecting them ignored Anna's caution and just said, "I am here to protect you secretly under the order of Lord Lin Yuan. The situation is not very good now. Please evacuate to the stronghold as soon as possible. As for the enemy, I will hold them back."

As he said this, the figure began to bend down slightly, gathering strength like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Hearing this, Anna and the others looked at each other and instantly exchanged their opinions.

Although it was not clear whether the other party was exactly as he said, the suggestions made by the other party were not bad for them, so they did not object to it and even accepted it directly.

The people lying in ambush around here will naturally not sit idly by and take no action.

"Hey, hey, hey, I think you are ignoring us too much."

In addition to the injured person, there was another guy who showed up. At this moment, seeing Anna and others trying to escape, he could no longer sit still, walked up to stand shoulder to shoulder with his companions and spoke in a low voice.

"This injury shouldn't be a problem, right? Let's go to each side, one of us will drag this guy, and the other will catch those four little devils."

"it is good!"

The injured man agreed to his companion's proposal without any hesitation.

Needless to say, the two of them burst out at astonishing speed, one on the left and one on the right, attacking Anna and the others from different directions.

Seeing this situation, the figure standing in front of Anna and the others rushed directly towards the injured figure without any hesitation, wanting to quickly deal with the injured one first and then deal with the other one.

The two attackers had already anticipated this situation. The one who was judged to be weaker due to his injury couldn't help but look gloomy when he saw this situation.

Although he had expected such a situation, he still couldn't help but feel a little angry when it really happened.

"You dare to look down on me like this? You're dead!"
