Chapter 555 Lei Family Spies Retreat
After a great battle, the situation on the scene was extremely tragic.
The place where the battle took place and the surrounding buildings were extremely unlucky, because both sides were really angry and naturally could not care about so many things.
Therefore, all these buildings were affected by the elves' attack. There was a hole in the east, a collapsed wall in the west, a big crack in the south, and a fire in the north. There were many such situations.
The bodies or remains of the dead summoners, the remains of the dead elves, and the bloodstains were scattered all over the ground, and a faint evil aura permeated the battlefield.
If left unchecked, people passing by here for a long time will probably be infected by the evil spirit, causing greater damage and casualties.
As for the residents in the buildings affected by the attack, if Lido had not secretly helped to intercept some of the fatal attacks, I am afraid that several innocent people would have lost their lives.
The house was attacked for no reason when they were sleeping soundly. The people living inside were naturally furious, but at that time, the fighting outside was fierce, and the residents did not dare to joke with their lives.
From the noise of the battle and the intensity of the fluctuations of the magical elements, it was clear that it was not something they could interfere with, so no one showed up to check from beginning to end.
The brave ones stayed in the house listening to the noise outside, but stayed far away from the outer walls of the house. The timid ones, young and old, hid in the cellar or in a room far away from the battlefield, trembling in fear and extremely nervously worried about being attacked.
In fact, not only the residents of the buildings whose houses were affected by the attack, but most of the residents within a radius of one thousand meters, except for the people from the small mercenary group who were drugged by the Lei family's spies, were awakened. However, the battle was so fierce that everyone chose to stay out of it.
There is no other way. The Lei family chose this place as the location for the Elf Hunting Group's base. Not only is it located at the center of the triangle formed by the underground black market, underground auction house and underground arena, but it is also because the forces in this area are similar to or even worse than those of small mercenary groups.
These forces usually survive in the cracks between various forces in the outer city of Tianjing's main city. They are always timid and cautious.
Therefore, the residents were worried as long as the battle lasted. Fortunately, the battle did not last too long, only about an hour in total, and the sky was not yet fully bright.
But the remaining Lei family spies did not bother to clean up the battlefield carefully, and hurriedly collected the elves' legacy and retreated with the wounded and the three captured spies of the evil forces. The corpses and broken limbs left at the scene were ignited by them using the Red Lotus Elf's Flame Slash.
All corpses and broken limbs were instantly surrounded by magical flames, burning fiercely and would soon be burned to ashes. No one should be able to tell where they came from, so they retreated with peace of mind, but there were still some scattered remains of the elves on the scene.
In fact, the bodies of the elf hunting group had turned to ashes long before the Lei family spies arrived. They dug deep into the ground but couldn't find any clues, so when the battle broke out outside, they finally checked around and found nothing, so they all came out to help. This happened to discourage the remaining three spies of the evil forces from fighting and put an end to the battle.
This made the retreat easier as there was no need to send anyone to notify everyone and everyone could just retreat together. However, the retreat was not smooth at all and could even be described as embarrassing.
There must be a reason why the Lei family spies retreated so hastily.
Firstly, it was almost daybreak, and more people would be coming and going. Daybreak would also make the residents nearby bolder. Besides, now that the fighting had stopped, it would be hard to suppress the people's instinct to watch the fun. If they did not retreat, they would easily be blocked by the crowd. Even if they were not blocked, it would be difficult to hide their tracks in the busy daytime. What's more, most of the people in the team were in a state of combat damage.
Secondly, the battle has been going on for such a long time, and other forces and city guards that are farther away should also know that a battle between high-level summoners is taking place here, and the scale is not small. If they don’t retreat, they may collide with them, which would be bad.
You know, those large and medium-sized forces and the city guards are not like the small and micro forces around here who dare not intervene. They really dare to take action!
Lido had no good way to deal with the evil spirit remaining in the battlefield for the time being, and she didn't intend to destroy the scene. If she took action, wouldn't it be equivalent to helping the Lei family cover up the traces? She also hoped that the authorities would discover that something was wrong with the evil spirit and pay attention to it, thereby increasing the efforts to track down the elf hunting group and the underground arena.
The Lei family spies retreated in a timely manner. Almost ten minutes later, a large number of onlookers and spies from other forces arrived at the scene, and the city guards also arrived here a quarter of an hour later.
Originally, spies from several forces and the city guards wanted to send people to track the whereabouts of the Lei family spies. After all, the Lei family spies retreated in a hurry and failed to completely eliminate all traces.
However, an accident happened, forcing them to stay and deal with the chaos. This delay allowed the Lei family spies to evacuate much more smoothly, and ultimately allowed them to escape.
The problem lies in the evil spirit that remains at the scene.
It was okay that ordinary spectators only dared to point and talk outside the battlefield but did not dare to enter the battlefield. After all, the evil spirit was still some distance away from them, so they were not affected much.
However, those people and forces who claim to have a certain strength, as well as the city guards, will not care about this. What's more, there are still some elves' relics left in some corners of the battlefield that have not been taken away by the Lei family spies. After discovering this, they became even crazier and rushed into the battlefield to look for treasures. They even had to retreat a distance to investigate the truth of the incident.
It was this behavior that brought them into contact with evil spirits, and then they were infected. Although it was only a faint evil spirit, its infectious ability should not be underestimated.
People with strong willpower, strong spirit or firm beliefs are fine. They can still suppress bad thoughts when they arise in their minds. However, some people with weak willpower, who are usually weak and have no opinions, will quickly be confused.
They fought fiercely for the elves' relics left at the scene, without even distinguishing between friend and foe, and the scene fell into chaos again.
Therefore, the others had to calm down the current chaos first, allowing the group of spies from the Lei family and the three spies from the evil forces to evacuate successfully.
