Chapter 627 - Cooperation (1/2)

”Lorenzo, on your right,” Theo shouted.

Lorenzo glanced to the side and ducked down, barely avoiding a green lizard's long tongue.

After that, a small ice ball appeared on top of the tongue and exploded, freezing it. Lorenzo spun his body and took this chance to cut the lizard's tongue.

”Grek.” The lizard wailed in pain, but Theo already appeared on top of the lizard, crushing its head with his Magic Power Expansion.

He then assessed all directions from the top of the lizard. There were numerous monsters coming toward them as he clicked his tongue, ”There is no end. It's either we try to break through or stay here for another five minutes until Lorenzo can use his Teleportation again.”

”It's better to stay here. There are many giant corpses around, so we should use them as a wall to direct the monsters around. Theo, your Telekinesis will be useful for this.” Lorenzo shouted, offering another idea.

When Theo was about to nod his head, a sound echoed in his ears.

”!!!” The ground was shaking as if something big had hit the ground nearby.

”Theo!” Lorenzo panicked as he wondered whether Theo knew what it was, considering he looked stupefied on top of the corpse.

What Theo saw was none other than a humanoid figure. It looked like a human, but the creature didn't have any eyes, leaving only a grey-colored skin covering its body. With how it stood tall among the trees, he was confident that the monster's height was more than a hundred feet.

The monster had a long arm that could hit the ground without even lowering its body.

”What's that ominous monster?” Theo muttered as he clenched his fists.

”Another monster?” Lorenzo narrowed his eyes while Ana's expression turned grim.

'Everything doesn't seem right this whole time.' Ana frowned and looked at Theo. 'At first, the progress went smoothly, and we could reach the Poison King without any problem.

'However, it changed for the worse when we were about to get the Poison Fruits. A monster roared and messed up our plan. After that, we were chased by hundreds of monsters. If this continues, I'm afraid we will be too exhausted and hide somewhere for today.

'Does someone sabotage our group?' Ana gritted her teeth. 'If that's the case, I am going to kill that bastard. Anyway, our lives will depend on Theo's decision. Lorenzo seems to trust him that much, so he must be hiding his trump card.

Theo, on the contrary, frowned when he saw the monster. The creature slammed its hand a few times as if it was fighting something.

However, the one thing that shocked him the most was none other than a blue-colored beam that hit the monster's head.

”!!!” In that instant, Theo understood what was going on and shouted, ”Lorenzo, do you think we can teleport there?”

”Where?” He furrowed his eyebrows.

Since the giant couldn't be seen on the ground level, he pointed at the hill next to the monster. ”That hill.”

Lorenzo obviously wanted to reject since that hill was where the sound came from. But the words soon stuck in his throat as he realized what Theo wanted. He asked for confirmation. ”You sure?”

”As much as I hate it, this is the best way to escape this place.” Theo nodded.
