Chapter 404 Approaching Danger
Baihu led the instructors in charging toward Duan Zhenglin. Even though there was a considerable gap between their strength and Duan Zhenglin's, they believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome this adversary!
Duan Zhenglin laughed smugly as he looked at the people charging toward him.
"Hahaha, it's good that you all attack together. Let's end the battle quickly, so I don't waste my time!"
He said so arrogantly as he raised his right hand. The sickle that had fallen beside him floated up and flew into his hand.
He engaged the instructors too.
Duan Zhenglin charged into the crowd like a tiger charging into a pack of wolves. He swung his sickle wildly and attacked with unstoppable momentum!
For a time, they were caught in a chaotic battle.
The warrior-type instructors fought Duan Zhenglin in close combat while mages like Zhuque attacked from the back. There were also healers with strong healing skills who were constantly providing healing.
This was almost a perfect formation; they could easily take down many boss-level beasts with this team.
However, it was still difficult for them to fight Duan Zhenglin.
Even if all of them joined forces in close combat, it would still be hard to defeat Duan Zhenglin, who was brandishing his sickle.
Meanwhile, the magic attacks shot from afar were all absorbed by Duan Zhenglin, so they didn't cause any damage.
For a time, two fierce battles took place in the sky and on the ground.
The sea of fire around them was still burning, and it did not seem to be extinguishing.
The scene in front of him gave Lu Yu the feeling that he was in an apocalypse.
"Lu Yu, let's go. They're all fighting now, so we still have a chance to leave!"
As Xu Yuan spoke, he looked at the gate entrance in the distance.
There was a large sea of fire between them and the exit, and he was uncertain if he could make it out. But, of course, it was definitely better than waiting for death here!
"Let's go. Although there's a fire ahead, we should be able to escape!"
Xu Yuan urged frantically.
Han Xuefei and Wang Meng, standing beside him, were also hesitating. They were also considering whether they should escape or not.
The other students, on the other hand, had given up. They assumed they couldn't escape, so they might as well stay here and wait for the instructors to defeat the enemies.
Wang Meng also came to Lu Yu's side and asked, "Big Brother, what do you think? I think that this place is a bit too dangerous."
"Our Featherwing Club has just been established, and we still have friends waiting for us to go back. Besides, Aunty must be looking forward to your return too."
After Wang Meng finished speaking, Lu Yu froze in place, as he didn't want his aunt to worry about him. If he truly died here, it was difficult to imagine how his aunt would spend the rest of her life.
Lu Yu struggled internally for a moment before looking at the sky. "That Death Spirit Dragon is not a normal beast, and we have the duty to stop it here. Otherwise, more people will suffer after it has killed everyone here and escaped!"
Hearing this, the others felt that it made sense.
If even the upper house's highest combat power couldn't take it down, no one would be a match for the dragon in the city. Unless the higher-ups in the military made a move, disaster would befall the city.
"But the gap between our strengths is too vast. We can't help at all!" Xu Yuan said helplessly.
The difference in strength was enough to cause despair, as they didn't even know how to help, even if they wanted to.
"Indeed, with our strength, we will only be cannon fodder at most. There's no need to join the fight."
Lu Yu let out a long sigh. "Let's wait and see. It's hard to say what the result will be yet…"
Xu Yuan and the others nodded their heads helplessly. They did not know much about the upper house's strength, so it wasn't good to jump to conclusions so soon.
They stood on the spot and watched the battle between the instructors and Duan Zhenglin from afar, exclaiming at the intensity of their battle. If they were dragged into this battle, they would not even have the chance to make a move.
A few well-built instructors held their weapons and engaged in close combat with Duan Zhenglin. All sorts of elemental and magic attacks circled in the air around them; they were constantly looking for an opportunity to deal damage to Duan Zhenglin.
Meanwhile, the healers were doing their best to heal the close combatants.
It was only with the cooperation of these instructors that they were evenly matched. Although Duan Zhenglin was exhausted from dealing with so many people, he was still in an advantageous position.
The students were all paying close attention to the battle between the instructors. They were all praying silently in their hearts, hoping that the instructors would be able to defeat this enemy as soon as possible so that they could help Jiang Lengyue.
At that moment, Jiang Lengyue flew closely behind the Death Spirit Dragon.
Every time a fireball was charging in the maw of the Death Spirit Dragon and was ready to shoot, she would release her telekinesis to pull back on the dragon's neck, making it spit the fireballs at places that had already been destroyed.
After a few rounds, the effect was noticeable. The number of burning spots in the upper house did not increase. The fireballs would land on the ruins every time they were spat out.
Although this would effectively protect the remaining assets of the Upper House, it was exhausting for Jiang Lengyue; she was running out of steam.
But even so, she still tried her best to stop the Death Spirit Dragon from spewing out more flames.
On the ground, the battle was getting increasingly intense. At that moment, Baihu roared as he clawed at Duan Zhenglin's shoulder with his right claw.
"Bastard, die!"
A teammate beside him saw this and quickly shouted, "Baihu, don't be rash!"
This attack was indeed a rash act motivated by his anger.
Duan Zhenglin immediately turned around to counterattack. He pulled out his sickle and slashed diagonally upwards!
Baihu's right claw was completely cut off with a clang, and fresh blood immediately spurted out.
Having lost his right hand, Baihu was in intense pain as sweat poured from his forehead!
"Cover Baihu and stop the enemy!"
The other instructors continued to attack Duan Zhenglin, forcing him to parry their attacks.
Baihu picked up the severed arm and quickly retreated out of the battle; he started to reattach his arm.
The battle was getting rather intense and difficult. After fighting for a long time, they still did not gain any advantage over Duan Zhenglin.
The students were all focused on the battle and worried for the instructors.
Just then, Han Xuefei suddenly shouted in panic, "Look! There's a figure in the flames!
When Lu Yu heard this, he quickly looked over. He was surprised to see a figure slowly walking over from the burning flames.
More and more figures emerged from the flames and walked toward them.
Han Xuefei and the others were nervous as the silhouettes approached them.
Lu Yu hurriedly activated his Eye of the Dragon God and looked over.
[ Undead warrior ]
[ Persona attributes ]
[ Attack... ]
He looked at another figure.
[ Undead warrior… ]
Each silhouette was the same, representing an undead warrior.
