Leo Ray nodded at everyone, then quickly flew out, rushing straight in the direction they ca from, and the strong ones followed closely by his side.
anwhile, on the other side of the Blocking Barrier, another scene unfolded.
"Moli, are you okay?"
In an inconspicuous alley corner, Helena cautiously sensed the surrounding movents while expressing concern to the petite figure beside her.
Her chest rose and fell, and her hanging hair was soaked with sweat and clumped together, looking quite disheveled. She had just experienced an intense battle not too long ago.
"I'm fine; those parasites can't hurt so easily!"
Moli patted her chest, looking as if she was unscathed.
However, her Energy Barrier was extrely weak, and her pink hood was further covered with scorched marks, making her appear even more disheveled than Helena.
Just like what Leo Ray and his team encountered, at the beginning, Moli and the strong Forest Elves faced a squad of parasites disguised as Market Guards.
Initially, Moli was imrsed in the joy of reuniting with Helena, chattering non-stop along the way, completely oblivious to any anomalies.
Although Helena and the strong Forest Elves realized sothing wasn't quite right, they ultimately chose to wait and see. After all, this was the Shadow Market, and they didn't truly believe anything abnormal would occur.
It didn't take long before Moli suddenly stopped, furrowing her brows tightly.
She finally sensed sothing unusual; the Market Guards leading the way walked unsteadily, with awkward steps, reminding her of the army of parasites she had seen in Observation City!
Though a bit careless, Moli wasn't stupid. She quickly realized there was an issue with these Market Guards and thus made a move similar to Leo Ray, pulling out a Communication Magic Stone from the Shadow Market.
Originally, this Communication Magic Stone was given by Leo Ray for Moli to contact Ice Stone City in ergencies, as she wasn't a subordinate and couldn't use Mind Talk for communication.
Perhaps because she was always by Leo Ray's side, this girl even mimicked his tone, feigning innocence and requesting the fake Guard Captain to verify the origin of the Communication Magic Stone.
Moli thought the opposing side would reveal their flaws, even pulled Helena and others to prepare to act.
Unexpectedly, the other side accurately stated that it was indeed a Communication Magic Stone from the Shadow Market, questioning instead where Moli had obtained it.
This sudden mont left Moli stunned and speechless for a while.
In fact, the reason the opposing side knew all this was because Leo Ray had already asked once before.
Due to the Ruins Returner's link, after a team of parasites revealed their flaw, the other parasites naturally received corresponding information to prevent making the sa mistake again.
With Leo Ray asking noticeably earlier than Moli, it was no surprise such a situation occurred.
Witnessing this, the accompanying Silver Maple Court Forest Guardian and Mirror Lake Singer cast Moli looks of disdain, thinking she was just showing off her Communication Magic Stone.
Fortunately, Moli acted shrewdly in a mont of desperation and insisted on asking how to activate the Communication Magic Stone. This ti the fake Guard Captain was left speechless.
The fake Guard Captain had only let her know it was a Communication Magic Stone, and though experienced from the hesitant predecessor with the second step, perfectly answered the first question, he was clueless about the specifics and was at a loss for words.
Seeing this, not only did Helena and the strong Forest Elves of the Ancient Tree Courtyard, but also Silver Maple Forest Guardian and Mirror Lake Singer, among other Forest Elves, frowned deeply.
Among them, many recognized the Communication Magic Stone, had seen ordinary Market Guards use it, and these guards served directly under the Bazaar Brotherhood; how could they not know the specifics?
Thus, along with the previous oddities, everyone present, including independent powerhouses and Leo Ray's strong n, realized sothing was amiss and instinctively beca vigilant.
Among them, Helena stepped forward, demanding an explanation from the fake Market Guards.
Seeing they couldn't keep pretending, the fake Guard Captain decided to attack first, suddenly striking at the Forest Elves.
Due to Moli's reminder, the strong Forest Elves in the front had preventive asures and weren't caught off guard, battling fiercely with the enemy.
Before long, they discovered the opposing side was composed of parasites immune to all attacks, with a large number of parasite ambushes surrounding them from all sides.
Feeling the enemy's aura even stronger than their own, the strong Forest Elves decisively chose to split up and break through, not planning to confront them head-on.
Among the five Great Forest Elf Kingdom strong n present, each had one or two Divine Stones, but none were the Chosen Son of God and couldn't share their strength to fight the parasites. Their few Divine Stone holders with Stone Spirits wouldn't overco so many parasites.
Witnessing this, the independent powerhouses and Leo Ray's strong n joined the breakout team, scattering along with the leading strong Forest Elves.
Their only goal was to unite with other guests to enhance their combat ability against the enemy.
During this process, Moli did her utmost to teleport all of Leo Ray's strong n to the Ancient Tree Courtyard's team, fleeing along with Helena.
Initially, the breakout went fairly smoothly, but it didn't take long before they noticed a Blocking Barrier, realizing they had been teleported into a carefully deployed trap from the start.
Shocked, Moli, Helena, and the strong Elves of the Ancient Tree Courtyard, along with Leo Ray's strong n, were surrounded by pursuing parasites, forced to engage in a fierce battle.
As a Divine Stone holder among the younger generation of the Ancient Tree Courtyard, Helena shone brightly, quickly teaming with the Stone Spirit to push back two parasite demigods, even severely injuring them.
Other strong n also did their best to restrain opponents, temporarily gaining the upper hand. Particularly Leo Ray's n, who took out Divine Stone Weapons causing considerable loss to those who thought themselves invincible.
However, the enemy reinforcents arrived quickly, causing the overall combat power to far exceed what Moli and the others could handle.
In this process, both Moli and Helena suffered so injuries, and Leo Ray's n along with other Ancient Tree Courtyard strong Elves were dispersed by the enemy, until Moli and Helena escaped to this alley for temporary refuge.
"Don't be stubborn; let check for any injuries,"
Helena asked with a deeply caring look.
"Don't worry; I already took a high-quality Healing Potion!"
Moli chuckled, asking, "How is it? Helena Sister, wasn't the Healing Potion I gave you excellent quality?"
"It's even better than the best I have; Moli, Healing Potions of such quality are extrely expensive. How did you get them?"
Helena furrowed her brows, questioning Moli: "Additionally, how were you able to inflict actual damage on the parasites just now?"
"Hehe, that's naturally because of that guy."
Moli lightly raised her brows, responding to Helena.
"You an that Emperor of the Human Race?"
Hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared on Helena's fair face.
