Chapter 402 The Villain Lady Arrives 231
Sarus, Malcolm and Arthur tried their best to resist the attack of the guardian spirit, but they still seemed powerless. They knew that if they continued, they would all die here.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded in their ears: "Everyone stop it! We are coming!"
Hearing this, the three turned their heads and saw Tariq, Alice and Ryan running towards them, their faces full of anxiety and worry.
"Why are you here?" Arthur asked in surprise.
Tariq explained: "We created the illusion to lure away the enemy, but we didn't expect to attract all of you. Now, we must join forces to fight the guardian spirit."
Sarus and Malcolm both looked puzzled when they heard this, but the current situation did not allow them to think too much, so they could only nod in agreement.
As a result, the three forces began to join forces to fight against the guardian spirit. With the addition of Tariq, Alice and Ryan, their strength was greatly enhanced. They cooperated with each other, displayed various powerful magic and martial arts, and launched a fierce battle with the guardian spirit.
Although the guardian spirit was extremely powerful, it seemed a little powerless under their joint attack. His attacks began to become slow and weak, while their counterattacks became more and more fierce.
Finally, after a fierce attack, the guardian spirit was successfully defeated. His body turned into a ray of light and merged back into the artifact. Under the illumination of this ray of light, the artifact also exuded a soft and mysterious aura.
Tariq, Alice and Ryan looked at the artifact in front of them, their hearts filled with emotion. They knew that the successful defeat of the guardian spirit this time was inseparable from the joint cooperation of the three forces.
Sarus and Malcolm also looked at the artifact, but their eyes were full of greed and desire. However, after experiencing the battle just now, they also knew that they could not snatch the artifact by their own strength.
So, Sarus was the first to speak and break the silence: "We, the Dark Organization, admit defeat in this matter. I will leave the artifact to you."
Malcolm was unwilling but could only nod in agreement. He knew that if they continued to fight now, they would only be drawn into another battle, and this time, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
Arthur looked at Salus and Malcolm, secretly feeling lucky. He knew that the crisis was resolved successfully this time thanks to the timely appearance of Tariq, Alice and Ryan. He looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, we would have been in great danger this time."
Tariq smiled and shook his head: "You're welcome. We are all here for the artifact. Now that the artifact has been found, we should protect it together."
Alice also nodded: "Yes, the artifact is the treasure of the world and cannot fall into the hands of any evil forces."
Ryan looked at the artifact with a determined light in his eyes: "We will definitely protect it and not let anyone harm it."
After discussing with everyone, they decided to jointly protect the artifact and bring it back to a safe place. This experience also deepened their friendship. They knew that in the days to come, no matter what difficulties and challenges they encountered, as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome everything.
However, just as they were about to leave, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in front of them. This figure was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his true face.
"Do you think you can protect the artifact in this way?" The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, full of threats.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the mysterious man with caution. They didn't know who this mysterious man was, nor did they know what his purpose was. But they knew that the appearance of this mysterious man would undoubtedly bring greater challenges to their plans.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Tariq asked.
The mysterious man sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I want the artifact, and you have to have it too."
After saying that, he waved his hand fiercely, and a powerful magical energy attacked everyone. Seeing this, everyone cast magic to resist. However, the power of this magical energy was too great, making them feel a little exhausted.
"Everyone be careful!" Arthur shouted loudly.
With Arthur's reminder, everyone was more careful in dealing with the mysterious man's attack. They cooperated with each other and used various powerful magic and martial arts to try to repel the mysterious man.
However, the mysterious man did not seem to give up easily. He continued to cast powerful magic and fought fiercely with everyone. This battle was extremely difficult and made everyone feel exhausted physically and mentally.
Just when everyone felt a little overwhelmed, Alice suddenly thought of a solution. She quietly told Tariq and Ryan: "Let's use the artifact to create a portal and leave here directly."
Tariq and Ryan were surprised when they heard this. But the situation before them did not allow them to think too much, so they could only nod in agreement. Then, under the leadership of Alice, they began to use the artifact to create a portal.
After some efforts, they finally succeeded in creating a portal. Under the cover of Arthur and others, they quickly entered the portal and disappeared from the sight of the mysterious man.
The mysterious man looked at the direction where the crowd disappeared, with an angry light in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would be fooled by this group of people. But he also knew that it was meaningless to continue chasing them now. He could only snort angrily and then turned around and left this place.
When Alice, Tariq, Ryan and others escaped through the portal, they found themselves in an unfamiliar forest. The tall trees around them blocked out the sun, and the sunlight could only shine through the sparse leaves, forming mottled light and shadows.
"Where are we?" Tariq looked around with a frown.
Alice shook her head, her expression solemn: "I don't know either, but at least we have gotten rid of that mysterious man for the time being."
Ryan was panting heavily, and it was obvious that the battle just now had consumed too much of his physical strength. He leaned against a tree and said tiredly: "We have to find a place to rest quickly, I can't hold on any longer."
Alice and Tariq nodded when they heard this. They knew that the most important thing now was to recover their strength and then find a way back.
So, they found a relatively open place and sat down to rest. Alice took out some food and water and distributed them to everyone. With the food, their strength gradually recovered.
However, just as they let down their guard, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Do you think you can escape like this?"
