This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 677, Section 676: Escape from the North
Where are you looking?!

Bardot swung his axe, but Eugene, regaining his senses, barely dodged it.

After the axe blow, Bardot, covered in wounds, did not pursue. Instead, he carried the giant axe and looked at the two small mountain-like giant puffs in the distance, laughing heartily.

"Wow, there are even such big poops! These poop-playing people have so many tricks up their sleeves!"

Then, he looked at Eugene with ill intent: "You dead bat, are you going to abandon the army and run away on your own?"

Bardot deliberately mocked Eugene for fear that Eugene would run away if things went wrong.

This guy, relying on his superior military strength, has been beating Bador down for quite a while.

If we don't fight back, even the delicious mushrooms in Bardo won't taste good!

However, Bardot was overthinking it.

Even if he hadn't abandoned those thousands of demons, Dean would have gone after Eugene to fight him to the death.

Eugene himself brought most of his wealth with him; he wouldn't run away alone unless absolutely necessary.

The giant Puji is indeed impressive, and being sandwiched between two sides is extremely dangerous, but we are far from being at our wits' end.

This was the first time he had ever seen a giant Puji. He had seen them before in Sigismund battle reports, but he never expected to see them in the North.

Moreover, the giant Puji in front of them was even larger than the giant Puji that blocked the passage in the Dragon Roar Valley battle report.

If it could explode, its power would probably be no less than high.

But this is not a valley with only one narrow pass like Dragon Roar Valley; it is a relatively open plain.

Its massive, cumbersome movements and visibly heavy weight mean you can simply stay away from it in time.

The dwarves currently engaged in battle pose little threat either. Bardol can hold them off, but the other dwarves are already exhausted from the previous attacks. Even if the dwarves wanted to pursue them when they retreat, they would probably be powerless to do so.

The real problem is the new force that came out of the giant poop's belly.

They weren't many in number, but they were more than capable of keeping them occupied.

Meanwhile, in the distance, after defeating the Imperial army there, Louisa had already organized her troops to rush towards this side.

If we get completely surrounded, then we're doomed.

Now, there is one last reserve force on the other side of the Luo River to deal with any unforeseen circumstances. The adjutant in charge reacted quickly and is already trying to bypass the damaged ice and come to his aid from the other side.

It is still a race against time.

The only change was that the objective had changed from defeating the dwarves in a short time to escaping the encirclement within a time limit.

He decisively abandoned the soldiers still engaged in combat and issued breakout orders to other units.

Faced with the combined attack of Bardol and the other two dwarves, he clenched his pale hand tightly.

The two dwarves let out a painful howl, blood mist seeping from their bodies, and collapsed weakly to the ground.

Those who dared to rush forward were all strong among the dwarves, and they wouldn't be killed directly by his forced bloodletting, but they were temporarily powerless.

As for Bardot.

He clenched his fist just as fiercely, and a cloud of blood mist burst from Bardo's wounds, but this did not stop him from roaring and chopping down his battle axe, slashing a wound across Eugene's chest.

Then came the relentless barrage of attacks from the giant axe, giving Eugene no further chance to draw blood.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Let's fight to the very last moment!"

However, taking advantage of the moment when he dodged, Eugene drew blood from all around and charged at Bardo in a simple and brutal manner, creating distance once again.

However, when he tried to force a blood draw again, Bardo's wounds only bled a little more.

Eugene turned his head sharply, and in mid-air, Louisa, who had arrived first, was there thanks to the high-speed flight capability of her Blood Crystal Wings.

At such close range, Eugene finally confirmed Louisa's rank.

It is a hall, but its ability to control blood is exceptionally strong.

However, what puzzled him was...

He actually felt the power of blood control from the "poof" flying creatures behind Louisa.

Absurd. While it's true that vampires can transform not only humans, and the success rate of transforming other races is lower, there are still occasional examples of vampire lizardmen, vampire dwarves, and the like.

But no matter how unorthodox it may be, at least it transforms into humanoid intelligent life forms!
What's with all this pooping?

Forget about human form, there's not even a drop of blood left!

Each of these Puji has weak blood control abilities, but when they come together, they can inexplicably integrate these abilities perfectly. Combined with Louisa's power, they actually managed to disrupt the Duke's blood control technique.

Eugene realized that they couldn't fight anymore!
"A dead rat trying to escape?" Bardot instantly realized Eugene's intention and threw out his axe without caring how he would fight without a weapon.

Runes lit up on the spinning giant axe, and wheel-shaped wind blades swirled around it, whistling as they hurtled toward Eugene's head.

Just as Eugene was about to unleash his full power to escape the battlefield, he dared not take the blow head-on and could only stop and dodge first.

Then, the little pig rushed down, wielding the activated red and black greatsword, and slashed down at its head.

Eugene could only draw out his own blood and condense it into a weapon to defend himself.

However, after just one exchange, part of his blood weapon was shattered.

"Magic Crystal Armor!"

He knew about this thing; after all, it appeared in the portrait that the spies brought back after risking their lives.

But he hadn't really paid much attention to it before.

This kind of set has at least dozens of magic crystal nodes all over the body. It not only requires a large number of magic crystals of the same level, but also requires the cutting and processing of precious magic crystals.

The high-end ones are too expensive, and the low-end ones aren't very effective; ultimately, they're just things that have been outdated for a long time.

A complete set of equipment is less threatening than a simple magic crystal armor with only one or two nodes.

Although that effect is much weaker, the startup requirements are significantly lower.

However, right now, he felt that the A-grade magic crystals embedded in Louisa's armor were almost blinding him.

The dwarf has gone mad; he's brought over all the stock from his inventory just to swindle him.

Why not use it to deal with Levi, who borders them?
Overwhelming in terms of equipment, or rather, overwhelming in terms of financial resources.

Eugene dared not fight head-on anymore and instead kept dodging.

But once Bardot retrieved his axe and rejoined the battle, the situation completely turned one-sided.

Moreover, the demons covering the rear were either dead or wounded, and they were about to be ganged up on. Eugene had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight back!

The pig chopped off Eugene's arm, and Bardot swung his axe and swept off one of his legs.

At the same time, blood gushed from Eugene's body, and he transformed into a crimson blood shadow, fleeing the battlefield at an extremely fast speed. He even overtook the troops that had just withdrawn and regrouped, flying south in a short period of time.

"hateful!"

Bardot slammed his axe into the ground, thought for a moment, then picked it up again and chased after the Eugene troops who hadn't gone far.

The little pig, on the other hand, remained much calmer, methodically directing the pursuit.

She wasn't worried that Eugene or his troops would escape.

This isn't the edge of the fungal carpet, but rather the heartland, a full circumference away from the edge—the territory of the boss.

The moment they stepped onto the fungal carpet, their fate was sealed.

All the soldiers in the mushroom fortress were excitedly chasing after these moving contribution points, except for Number Four, who was frantically yelling in the mushroom net—it was too heavy to catch up!
……

Blood Shadow was extremely fast. Although this method of escaping by consuming bloodline power came at a great cost, it was indeed very effective.

In just a few hours, Eugene covered a distance that would have taken four days to traverse.

After slowing down, Eugene didn't dare to delay and tried his best to fly south. As for his troops, he could only hope that more of them would escape.

From afar, Eugene saw Dean rushing over with his men after receiving the distress call.

Dean also saw him and was shocked by his miserable appearance.

However, before the two could speak, a dark shadow swept past, and Eugene, who had survived the ordeal, disappeared from the spot.
