329 The Nest 1 (1/2)

Chapter 329: The Nest 1

A group of people silently waited in the forest. Vicky lighted a few torches and distributed them throughout the group. The crackling of the flames could be clearly heard.

The croaking of frogs one after another could be heard in the distance.

Croak, croak..

Garen fixated his gaze in the direction of the fortress. He abruptly stretched out his fingers and gestured in the air. Black flames emerged as a dot from his finger tips, leaving black strands in the air.

Very quickly with the formation of the gestures, his eyes dilated and lost its focus.

”Sight sharing tactic?!” Angel was slightly startled. ”So fast…” She stared at Garen in disbelief. Her complexion was complicated, seeming like she had thought of something.

After a whole ten minutes, a light roar came from the direction of the fortress. It seemed like the roar of a lion, but from a long way away.

”Let’s go. There is a problem here.” Garen took the first step and moved towards the fortress. He seemed slow but was actually quick and had a rhythm to his steps.

The rest of the party followed behind him, but only Reylan could keep up with him. Angel and the rest had difficulty in keeping up, and had to summon primitive totems to carry them.

In the dark night, the group cut through the vast plains from the dark forest, and quickly headed towards the fortress. Only three swiftly moving orange flames could be seen in the dark, whereas their shadows were completely not visible.

Garen took the lead, following the pathway of the fort to directly arrive at the main entrance. The iron-clad wooden door was wide open, and the keyhole had obvious traces of damage.

The roar of a lion could be continuously heard from behind the door.

Garen went straight into the entrance.

There was a wide stone plaza within. As the faint moonlight shone on the plaza, it seemed like it was plated with a white-greyish layer.

In the middle of the plaza, Leila was commanding his serpent-tailed lioness in a battle with two black shadows..

Whenever the lioness let out a fierce howl, she would emit a circle of expanding pale yellow light, which would only disappear after expanding three metres. Every single time, the light would send the two black shadows flying and rolling on the ground.

The black shadows would then persistently get back on their feet and continued their assault.

Garen walked closer, trying to see the true forms of the two shadows with the aid of the moonlight.

It was two black panthers with bull horns on their heads.

They bowed their heads and pawed on the ground with their hooves like a bull. Air was coming out from their nostrils and their eyes were glowing red.

”They are not silver totems?” Garen carefully identified. Suddenly there was a flash of light in his eyes. ”They are not totems, but mutated creatures who were infected. ”

”Chief! They are not powerful, just very resistant.” Leila shouted towards him. ”Their speed is too fast. Although they have weak attacks, but because I’m totally unable catch them, I can only passively counter attack.” A dejected expression could be seen on his face.

Moo!!!

One of the black bull panthers let out a roar, and directly dashed at the serpent-tailed lioness.

A dash like that might have been effective towards normal creatures, but not at all towards the serpent-tailed lioness with totem light.

The serpent-tailed lioness stood its ground and howled fiercely, emitting a circle of yellow light from its body, which immediately sent the black bull panther flying again.

With a bang, the black bull panther was savagely sent flying a long distance. Its four hooves left long black marks on the ground.

”Let me do it.” Angel finally arrived behind Garen and dismounted from her black panther. Looking at the two black bull panthers, there was some mild covetousness in her eyes.

”These are living mutated creatures, if only the unit factory could be used to replicate them as totems..”

Reylan laughed without saying a word.

Vicky from the hunting group stood out.

”Do we need miss to act for mere speedy types? Let me do it!”

Before she finished her sentence, a yellow line leapt out from behind her and headed directly towards the two black bull panthers.

After two light hisses, the yellow line flashed across the two black bull panthers, and flew back towards Vicky’s shoulder. It was a fully gold mink. It obediently crouched on its owner’s shoulder and continuously licked its blood-stained claw. Its two eyes had a wolf-like dark green glow, giving off a dark malevolent aura.

Both the two black-bull panther were wounded by their side abdomens. After wobbling for a few more steps, they couldn’t support themselves and fell to the ground.
