298 Tarzan the Ape Man, Whose Nose Was Hi (1/2)
Cerberus was like a wise and far-sighted old man, albeit one with exaggerated muscles all over his body. Its back faced the waterfall and its three heads faced three different directions on the opposite side of the waterfall.
The head on the left had a pair of blue eyes, which radiated with a flickering ominous light. Its gaze was fixated on an approaching Bowmaster in the distance, and from time to time, its gaze shifted to observe the second Bowmaster farther away. Its disposition revealed that it had a slight disdain for humans. Meanwhile, the eyes on the right head emitted a violent and cruel green ray of light. Its magical gaze tenaciously fixated on a pile of black shrubs 500 meters to the right of the forest. It would occasionally let out an oppressive snarl, which carried a warning, exposing half of its terrifying white teeth. That kept the 11 players, who were hiding behind the shrub, on their toes and made them exceptionally restless!
”Could it be that it's discovered us?” Bizarre Blade asked as he swallowed the spittle in his agitated throat with much effort.
Under normal circumstances, Brony and his group would not have paid any heed to the guy who had forced the allocation of things…Yet at that moment, Brony subconsciously replied, ”It should be… impossible… Plus, we specifically took a detour off the route…”
”So that was just a coincidence?” someone from the back echoed, feeling extremely uneasy.
While not many of them were actually convinced by what had been said, they all hoped that it was true. If the Boss was truly powerful enough to come over and kill them, none of them would survive.
”Look…what's the Boss' middle head looking at?” Bizarre Blade suddenly reminded.
Right after the reminder, one by one, Brony and his group members began to take notice of Cerberus' middle head. Its appearance and movement were somewhat abnormal, its eyes seemingly searching for something.
”Little Tiger,” Bizarre Blade called out, ”look at what the Boss is doing!”
Little Tiger, Hall of Heroes member, was a Level 45 Bowmaster.
Bowmasters had much better vision than players of other Classes. Having heard what was said, Little Tiger immediately focused his eyesight through a small crevice in the shrubs and observed Cerberus carefully.
”Strange!” The Bowmaster known as Little Tiger quickly discovered that the middle head's line of sight appeared to be chasing something as its scarlet gaze swept back and forth across the deep forest. Its gaze revealed a trace of vigilance and murderous intent.
What was it looking at?
Little Tiger's movements became slightly rigid; following the middle head's gaze, he turned to look in the same direction and actually saw the non-League players. His entire expression turned sluggish, and he thought to himself, 'It can't be that outrageous, right? Could it be that Boss is able to see those players who've hidden themselves more than 150 meters away?!'
While he was lost in thought, Cerberus suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar!
On the left, the first Bowmaster responsible for luring Cerberus was less than 60 m away from the Boss, and Cerberus could no longer tolerate the existence of these lowlifes who continued to provoke its majesty!
Roar!!!
It raised its three heads at the same time and produced a big, angry roar! With the Boss at the center, the surrounding air seemed to be shocked by some kind of violent soundwave, and it vibrated intensely! This actually gave it a certain terrifying aura as the king of magical beasts!
Almost everyone was taken aback by the mighty Cerberus right then! However, the occurrence did not affect the Bowmasters who were fully prepared...
The Bowmasters were also the only exceptions on the field—exchanging 5,000 gold coins for less than five million points of experience. It was a good deal, and the Bowmasters were not willing to mess up the assignment. Naturally forcing himself to move, the first Bowmaster did not allow the situation to affect his next movement.
He immediately turned around and rush into the depths of the forest, howling!
Three loud thunderous roars burst forth! Soon after, quick vibrations could be heard from the ground. With its huge black body, Cerberus was shockingly fast, like a high-speed bullet train. It had shortened the distance of 70 meters to less than 60 meters in an instant. At his speed, the Bowmaster running in front was like a newborn baby.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out all over the Bowmaster's back!
The shockwave from the beast's roar was rapidly closing in behind him. It seemed like Cerberus would be able to pounce and swallow him up any time now... At such a speed, it was about to catch up to the little baby.
Did Cerberus also have the skill of speed?
Qin Ruo furrowed his brows as his gaze suddenly turned to the right, where Brony and his group had started to act. However, after they witnessed the hellish speed of Cerberus, Brony and several Elementalists decided to stay behind. On the other hand, Bizarre Blade and four Netherspirit's Claw warriors rushed out together, led by the daring Bowmaster, who was the first to rush to the front.
”Wise choice.”
Qin Ruo smiled a little as he stood tall on the tree. A Water Element strip similar to the Vampire Leech's antenna nimbly shrunk back. However, unlike the former, Qin Ruo's ”antenna” was composed out of the Water Element, and it was transparent as well as colorless. In comparison to the Vampire Leech's antenna, his was thinner and less likely to be noticed.
