Chapter 211: The Feral Guardian (1/2)

They arrived at where the creaking sounds originally originated.

Yman hid in a big chunk of rock, looking ahead of them, they saw the bees. All of them were facing a stone? Yman's initial thought when he saw the thing in front of the bees. But he changed his mind when he had a clear view of it.

(No!) It was a statue! A statute of a feral looking bird. It was spreading its wings that seemed ready to attack its enemy.

It was on top of what seemed like a stone that looks like a giant mug. Inside it, he noticed the mysterious water dripping in it.

The feral bird statue looked like it was scaring anyone who wanted to come near it.

Because of the night vision he could not come up with what color it was. But he guessed that the statue was emerald in color.

Anyway, the bees were surrounding it. Yman who was peeking from the chunk of rock was wondering what they were doing. And why his scout bee was together with them. Everything was surreal!

As he was watching he noticed the bees were staring at it warily. And he also noticed some cracks on the statue of the feral-looking bird.

The scout bee for some reason dove and landed on the edge of the giant stone mug.

But after it did it, the statue broke and the shattered pieces of its stone body scattered everywhere.

The bees and his scout bee flew away, trying to evade the scattered pieces.

Then it was followed by, ”KYAWWWW!!!” A wail that reverberated inside the cave. After the wailing voice, A semi-shockwave came next.

”A guardian?” He muttered and took the piece of paper in his position that was handed to him from Prof. Ronnie. He was trying to find if there were some details in it regarding the cave and about the statue.

But when he read it, he found nothing aside from the list of herbs he was about to gather.

He decided to store it back inside his Cyber Storage and returned his eyes ahead, to the bees and the statue with a puzzled face. Curiosity rose inside him.

There he noticed the bird statue turned into a living bird! Its gaping beak could easily gulp the bees if it wanted to do so. And its squinted eyes were in reddish color. Its claws were gleaming in sharpness.

It hovered on top of the mug-like stone. Then it flapped its wings and rose upward. It stopped in mid-air and stared at the bees below it.

Yman noticed his scout went to the front like a main character in the novel or movies.

He was wondering what his scout bee was doing. Still puzzled towards it.

The other bees hoarded behind him. Now it looks like his scout bee was protecting them. He didn't know what to feel at the current situation. It seemed like he was watching a movie.

Yman did not interfere and just silently watched them.

The feral bird did not waste time and immediately rushed to using an aerial attack. Its target was his scout bee. The other bees flew away while the scout bee glided to its right and evaded the attack, but an invisible force hit the scout bee and was thrown away.

Its body flipped and spun away, but it managed to spread its wings before it crashed on the ground. It didn't waste time and sent a sting attack to the feral-looking bird.

The bird's eyes gleamed. Then it opened its beak and sent another wail.

”KYAAWWWWWW!!!”

The pressure caused by it was able to divert the sting trajectory. Because of it, the sting attack was not able to hit the target.

But the scout bee didn't lose its hope and it spun in rotation around the feral-looking bird.

The speed of it was very agile. After all, it was an enhanced fire doll.

However, the feral bird wasn't an ordinary enemy as well. It seemed like an intelligent being. Must be a guardian of the place.

It flew away.

Maybe it perceived an unusual plan coming from the scout bee. As expected the scout bee was trying to rotate while trying to use the tactic of hitting the enemy while maintaining distance from it.

It was useful against slower and melee type enemies. Yman was gawking while watching their aerial fight.

As expected, the feral bird wasn't the type of enemy to be a good target of this tactic. It suddenly quickened its movement and even used its wings to generate a mini gust of wind towards the scout bee.

The scout bee dashes in and out to evade the gusts. The scout bee was losing the momentum of the fight before even their battle had started. The guardian feral bird was noticeably stronger compared to it.

Yman was so amused watching them.
