Chapter 121 (2/2)

“Don’t bother with the corpses. We’ll loot them later. It’s not like they’ll disappear.” ThornyRose said when she saw Ye Cang stop his steps and look at the body.

Ye Cang sighed. He activated his shoes’ speed boost and chased up to the rest. They left blazing flames everywhere they passed by. Any surviving trees were cut down by ThornyRose and FrozenBlood. Wherever Lin Le looked, flame flasks would fly. He was becoming a master arsonist.

The further in they went, the more fearful ThornyRose felt. If it weren’t for Lin Le breaking their defences and restraining them, this quest would be impossible. “Lele, how many more!?”

“Let me count. 1, 2, 3, 4…” Lin Le suddenly stopped and began counting one by one again.

Little Ye Tian helped him out again. “48!”

“We’re using them up so fast.” Ye Cang said, as he drew his bow into an arc. Precise Shot, Double Shot. His arrows penetrated the hard bark, and hit the soul wrapped inside it. Straight thrust combo. His mithril rapier screeched as if a bird had cried out, and the blade faintly vibrated. The special effect activated, and the sword stabbed through one of them, killing it. He pulled the sword out and sheathed it while at the same time, grabbing his longbow, entering long distance mode again. It was done in one smooth motion.

NalanMoon, SpyingBlade, and FrozenBlood were like butterflies fluttering around the flames, their weapons dancing about. GreenDew was controlling her mana usage. Little Ye Tian also stopped after using a few skills, in order to avoid using too much. Ye Cang assisted Zhang ZhengXiong, ThornyRose and FrozenCloud who were losing the most health.

ThornyRose sighed. The highest healing in the group was actually Ye Cang’s Healing Stream and Zhang ZhengXiong’s Healing Light. Originally she wanted to ask SpyingBlade if he could take Zhang ZhengXiong’s place, as his dodging ability was the highest. She then saw the jack-of-all-trades knight – Ye Cang and asked: “Damn lowlife, can you replace your brother, Shaking Bear, for a bit?”

Ye Cang knew what she wanted. He could save some mana, while Zhang ZhengXiong could use up his unneeded mana. Moreover, Zhang ZhengXiong’s heal was more effective; unlike the healing over time spells they possessed. However, to replace Zhang ZhengXiong, he needed a defensive item. Oh right, there’s that. He quickly shouted back: “Crazy Madam, I’ll try. A’Xiong, come back! Lele, summon your handcart…”

Zhang ZhengXiong nodded. He knocked a treant aside and leapt back. Lin Le quickly summoned his handcart.

Ye Cang reached in and took out the tonfa FrozenCloud had swapped out. Now in his left hand was a tonfa and in his right hand was a mithril rapier. Seeing the treant, that Zhang ZhengXiong had knocked away, making it’s way back, he charged over with a Dashing Straight Thrust. He was now in Zhang ZhengXiong’s previous position.

FrozenCloud raised an eyebrow. He’s swapping with Shaking Bear? Knights sure can use many different weapons, most grapple weapons and skills are useable by knights. She watched as he deflected an attack with the tonfa in his left hand while stabbing at the treant’s weak point with the rapier in his right, performing a straight thrust combo. He then turned, swishing his feathery robe, sending 5 feathers shooting out. With this, one treant was easily dealt with. Although, he didn’t have Zhang ZhengXiong’s ferocity, he still gave others a strange sense of security. She recalled the knight’s role in a party, the know it all that everyone looks down on. Although the description said they could tank, but no one really believed it until now. Even Ye Cang could only tank temporarily. Afterall, he wasn’t wearing defense specialized equipment. He took more damage than Zhang ZhengXiong, so could not afford to make any mistakes.
