Dark Blood Path

Chapter 49: the Ogre’s Emergence

Han Kexin and the others unexpectedly returned, distracting Zhang Kais group and preventing their original plan of setting off the smoke inside the cave from being carried out.

Du Tao discovered the situation outside the cave with ecstasy. He and the others were becoming dizzy from all the smoke, so when he knew their teammates were coming back to rescue them, he became more energetic and informed the rest, Zhao Dahai. Prepare to fight alongside the others, everyone; lets get rid of these damned men!

Zhao Hai raised his two-handed sword and shouted loudly: Brothers, kill them all!

He took the lead and rushed out of the cave, waving his two-handed sword and chopping down the few people guarding the caves entrance. His movements were quick and fierce as he made his way toward the exit, leaving no one standing in his path. Du Tao and others rushed out one by one, and the two sides fought fiercely against one another.

As the sun gradually moved down, the entire woods got covered by nighttime as it felt unusually quiet, yet the bursts of shouting and killing were exceptionally sharp in this part of the forest. The two sides were having one of their fiercest battles since they came to this world, where everyone got involved, including Jiang Xiaowen.

The number of people from both sides was roughly equal, and each side suffered casualties, but Han Kexins fighting power was clearly far superior to Zhang Kais subordinates. The cave was their basis for survival. Once occupied, not only will they lose all their supplies, they will even be forced to find another shelter elsewhere. Which was tantamount to slow destruction; this war can only be won and not lost. With this mentality in mind, they fought off the enemy invading their homeland; each one of the cave dwellers bravely defended the underground cave with all their might.

The number of people brought by Zhang Kai was rapidly dwindling as the siege intensified. In less than five minutes, their manpower was reduced by a full third.

Damn it, why are these guys so powerful!

Zhang Kai was shocked and furious, especially when he saw some of his elites falling. He had carefully built his army to be the strongest in the region, and seeing them weakened so quickly was a massive blow to his pride. He became even more furious, but he was entangled tightly by Jin Shi and Wang Chao, so he could only watch helplessly as his subordinates died one by one. Nurturing this large number of elites came at the expense of many more cannon fodder sacrifices. It was hard to imagine that the people in front of him were stronger than them in every aspect.

If this goes on, even if the opponents vitality is seriously injured, few people will be left under my command. So this is totally not worth the effort.

Zhang Kai pondered for a while before gritting his teeth and shouting loudly: you guys are indeed vicious; Brothers, withdraw! Well come back another day to settle all accounts!

This one order of his caused the invaders to lose all morale and they left more than thirty corpses behind before fleeing, along with Zhang Kai himself. But how could Han Kexin, Du Tao, and others let such a hidden danger get away?

Kill them all, dont keep anyone alive!

Yun Yun shot and killed two people from afar, while Han Kexin, Jin Shi, and Wang Chao rushed forward with the whole group. Almost two hundred people were shuttling their way through the woods. Some of the escaping outsiders fell behind and were killed by those who chased them down with knives and spears in hand.

Zhang Kais stomach was churning with remorse; if he had known how difficult it would be to deal with this bunch, he would not have gnawed on this steel plate at the expense of his own forces. However, when he saw the opponent killing his weaker followers one by one, he became ruthless. As long as the elite part of the team survives, it is not difficult to rebuild a group of this size again he thought to himself.

To him, the majority of these people were nothing more than expendable cannon fodder. Therefore, he always ordered them to rush forward and attract the attention of high-level monsters when hunting. Since so many people were bound to die anyway, he thought of this incident as though they had merely encountered a high-level monster during one of their hunts.

Just as he was comforting himself, something that no one thought of suddenly happened.

Roar!

A roar that could only be described as earth-shattering echoed from nearby. It sounded like a shock wave as it rolled throughout the forest. The roars howling wind shook the long grass and trees in its path, and the enormous force even peeled off the bark of some large trees in the surroundings. Zhang Kais team was startled by the cry, and more than half of them collapsed instantly, their bodies twitching, bleeding from their seven orifices, struggling painfully as they completely lost their fighting power.

Zhang Kais vision also turned black, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Han Kexin and the others were far away, so they were the least affected, but they could still feel the shockwave of that howl, and everyone felt as if their chest had been smashed by a massive hammer, while a few people with weaker strength directly vomited blood as a result of the shock.

This is bad Han Kexin turned pale, Dont chase after them; everyone retreat!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by the dull sound of three consecutive loud footsteps, a huge monster appeared from the woods.

It stood 3.5 meters tall, had bluish-black skin, and appeared rough and primitive. The monster was dressed in jagged and torn animal hide and wielded a massive wooden mace covered with wolf teeth in its big hand. It burst out with incomparable ferocity and violence, and like a wild giant, its head was enormous, with half-fist-sized eyes, two huge curved fangs, and a single horn growing on its head.

Han Kexin had never seen anything like it before, but she knew exactly what it was right away. Her face was pale, and she swallowed slowly, her seductive red lips starting to tremble slightly as she mumbled, Ogre its the Ogre!

Zhang Kais legs trembled as he was enshrouded by the Ogres aura, making it difficult for him to stand straight. He was actually quite powerful, but he was merely a person at the peak of the elementary realm, not even in the first order. Facing the might of this monster at the peak first order, how could he resist?

Without it having to lift a finger, he already understood how terrifying this monster was.

Before anyone could react, the Ogre depicted a bloodthirsty expression as it swung that massive mace with both hands, bombarding the ground heavily. Then, they saw a huge force collapsing the ground in front of the Ogre before blood-red energy visible to the naked eye morphed into a straightforward shock wave, which swept toward everyone in an instant.

If Xiao Yu had been there, he would definitely recognize this attack. It was the signature skill of the ogre warriors, Fury wave!. The raging shock wave swept across the ground for fifty to sixty meters in the distance. Everywhere it passed, the trees toppled, getting instantly crushed into wooden dust as if they were paper instead, leaving behind a long gully more than one meter wide and half a meter deep underneath the ground. Everything in front of them was destroyed!

Zhang Kai turned his head with cold sweat all over his face and found that one of the team leaders beside him was standing there blankly. The left half of his body disappeared, and his other half was slowly falling down.

Damn what kind of monster is this?!

Zhang Kai was scared out of his wits. Finally, the threat of death forced him to escape from the aura of the Ogre; he instantly activated his ability, bent his body slightly, and jumped seven to eight meters away. At this moment, he could no longer care about other people; as long as he could escape in one piece, thats all that mattered!

Almost all at once, the other survivors also got up as if they had just awoken from a nightmare, uttered terrified screams, and began fleeing frantically in all directions.

The Ogres body flickered and appeared in front of one of them, and the wooden mace smashed on top of his head, turning him into meat paste. Then it rushed towards another person, and the mace hit him head-on. Under that huge impact, the unlucky guys body was torn apart into pieces that flew all over the sky.

After killing a few people, the Ogre shook its huge head and locked its eyes on Han Kexin and the others who were fleeing toward the cave. That huge figure, then, jumped towards them like wind and lightning.

They had no chance of winning, absolutely no chance of winning.

Even if Xiao Yu was here, nothing would change.

If anyone had doubts about Xiao Yus words before, they now fully understood that he never exaggerated the tale. Probably to avoid causing panic, he often mentioned the powers of the Ogre without giving them a detailed description. Now that this mysterious monster had finally appeared in front of them, everyone was deeply shocked.

What to do what to do Han Kexin felt a strong wind blowing from behind her, she clenched her red fists, and her attention was drawn suddenly by the blast flame ring in her hand, If there is anything that can threaten it, then it must be this ring. The blast flame spell can kill even goblin leaders, so it shouldnt be a problem to cause some damage to the Ogre!

When Han Kexin turned around, the monster had already rushed behind the crowd and was about to smash down with its massive mace. However, the ring in her hand shone brightly, and a ready-to-burst blast flame spell exploded on the Ogres chest.

Boom!

Dazzling flames bloomed, and scorching air waves swept across. The Ogre roared loudly, and as if it were a mountain that was pushed down to kneel, its massive body fell on its back with a plop. The surrounding trees had all been blown to bits and were engulfed in raging flames.

However, the Ogre had only been pummeled for less than two seconds before it stood up with its hands supporting its body and shook its head dizzily. It discovered that its invulnerable skin was burned and full of blood. Although this was only a minor injury, it was enough to enrage the irascible Ogre.

The monster spread its arms and roared to the sky, Roar! Its deep, booming sound echoed through the dark night, sending chills down the spine of everyone who heard it

Han Kexin was in despair. She never expected the Ogre, who was bombarded by the mighty powers of the blast flame ring, to sustain only minor injuries. No wonder it was so taboo for Xiao Yu. You must know that the blast flame spell is a second-rank magic attack. In theory, it should cause damage to second-order monsters, which was enough to kill most first-order monsters in one fell swoop. However, their immediate situation was dire; the monster in front of her was simply too powerful for anyone to confront at this stage!

The Ogres eyes suddenly turned blood red, and its skin turned crimson. Even the best painters in the world couldnt make out this kind of color. The red was pure, viscous, and brightlike nothing they had seen!

Bloodlust!

One of the most powerful abilities of the ogre tribe; only a small number of ogres with excellent blood and talent could possess it. It was actually quite rare to appear on a low-level ogre warrior.

The effect of the bloodlust skill is to greatly enhance the strength of the body in a short amount of time, whether it be speed, strength, or spiritual power, the strength of the increase is by no means any less than the Rampage ability!

When the Ogre was in the process of going berserk, a sharp, cold light tore through the void and struck at its body. Following that sharp tearing sound, a long wound was cut on the monsters body.

Xiao Yu appeared, his clothes torn and his mouth bloody, but his eyes were as bright and determined as ever. The moment his feet landed on the ground, he jumped again and slashed at the Ogres neck with his weapon. The cyan light of the luminous beast blade left another wound on the opponents body before he immediately retreated more than ten meters away.

Wang Chao exclaimed, Boss!

Leave!

Jiang Xiaowen stared at Xiao Yu, who was hurt badly but still wanted to protect them; her eyes were moist, and she shook her head stubbornly, I wont go; I want to fight with you!

Xiao Yu shouted loudly: Leave quickly; if you dont go, it will be too late!

As soon as he finished speaking, a creepy roar resounded from the depths of the woods. That was not the cry of an ogre, but its power was not much weaker than the latters.

Han Kexin stared in horror, wondering if it could possibly be a ghoul!

Those two strong and outrageous monsters, are they going to collide right here?

Han Kexins heart moved, and she raised her head to meet that pair of blood-red eyes. His eyes were devoid of panic as if nothing in the world could scare them, always oozing calm, wisdom, confidence, and composure That instant eye contact made Han Kexin calm down quickly.

All right, lets go! Han Kexin grabbed Jiang Xiaowens hand. Well only hold him back by staying here!

(TN: I think that the rampage, bloodlust and rage of the goblin leader all come under the berserk state skill, just different names with slightly different effects)
