207 Got I (1/2)

”Hey, what's the rest!?” Solomon was still puzzled as Lin Yun completed a dozen arrays.

”Look behind you!”

”What? Behind…” Solomon turned, feeling that this was all rather dubious, only to cry out in alarm. ”Fuck, how could there be so many!”

He saw a dozen Green-Faced Sly Monkeys scuttling through the bushes. These creatures were natural killers in this jungle. They moved at the speed of wind, and their venomous claws would even make a High Mage worried if they brushed past them.

These scuttling Green-Faced Sly Monkeys were yelling with shrill voices as they pounced towards Lin Yun with their sharp claws. Even in this darkness, Lin Yun could see a faint light.

”Badrack!”

”Got it, High Mage Solomon!” Badrack, the head of the Flash Arrow Mercenary Group, was skilled, but didn't have as much fighting experience as Sasu.

Just as the Green-Faced Sly Monkeys appeared, that 9th Rank Spirit Archer was already nocking his arrows. Three magic arrows flickering with golden light flashed between his fingers as he didn't even take the time to aim before three trails of light flew towards three jumping Green-Faced Sly Monkeys. They didn't even have time to scream before the arrows struck them.

An explosion followed as the fire spells sealed within the magic arrows burst. The three Green-Faced Sly Monkeys were burnt to charcoal before they even fell to the ground.

At that time, Lin Yun took a quick glance over before going back to writing, tuning out the jumping Green-Faced Sly Monkeys as well as the sounds echoing from the forest.

This was the reason Lin Yun had chosen Badrack. It couldn't be said that Badrack was the strongest in Thousand Sails City, as Cadgar and Lys were definitely stronger, yet Lin Yun didn't ask them.

He had asked Badrack to come because archers were experts at forest battles, especially someone like Badrack, who was a peak Spirit Archer and was very experienced. Solomon and Xiuban didn't even need to make a move as Badrack used his bow to suppress the dozen Green-Faced Sly Monkeys.

”Looks like I don't have to help,” Solomon said with a regretful tone.

But he quickly had to take those words back...

Because after Badrack shot down the dozen Green-Faced Sly Monkeys, fragmented sounds of footsteps had emerged from the other different sounds echoing in the forest. Only lights could be seen flickering among the bushes. These looked eerie and sinister in the dark forest.

After some time, some wolves could be heard howling one after the other, but their location was unclear. They could only see various shadows...

”Shadow Wolves!” Solomon was suddenly startled. He could detect a pack of several dozen Shadow Wolves...

Just thinking of the speed and strength of the Shadow Wolf that had ambushed Merlin at the entrance of the Four Seasons Canyon made Solomon feel worried. That had been a level 15 creature...

”Xiuban, go!” Lin Yun, who was still busy with the arrays, once again looked back.

”Eh?”

”Eh what? You are a Beastman Fighter, aren't you?”

'But… But I'm a Highland Beastman…'

Xiuban's face turned white. Highland Beastmen didn't have much experience in direct fights.

The Draconic Beastman looked pitifully at Lin Yun before drawing two curved blades from his waist and letting out a powerful battle roar to encourage himself as he rushed towards a group of Shadow Wolves...

Highland Beastmen were still Highland Beastmen...

The fighting instinct in their blood couldn't be altered. Xiuban's two curved blades quickly stopped the advance of the Shadow Wolves. Blood splattered as the blades flashed, making it hard to see if he was also bleeding or if it was just the color of his skin.
