Chapter 655 A Special Squad
boom! ! ! ! ! !
Suddenly, a hundred-meter-long beam of light rose from the peaceful forest. The beam was as dazzling and intense as the sun, and it looked extraordinary.
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the beam of light lasted for about ten seconds, destroying everything around it.
Such a commotion was bound to attract attention. As the beam of light vibrated, a special team stopped in their tracks in a dense forest not far from it.
"We agreed to act together, but this guy..."
Seeing the towering pillar of light, Leant frowned. As another main combat class in the team, she disliked others showing off in front of her.
Especially that guy who looks a bit flashy...
boom! ! !
With a loud bang, Leant's giant hammer slammed heavily onto the ground. Because she had some dwarven blood, her height was quite imperfect, and the hammer, which was about one meter long, looked rather strange when she swung it.
It was like a child holding an adult's toy, but no one in the team dared to point fingers or laugh at it.
Although this team has only been formed recently, Leant's strength, as demonstrated at their first meeting, already surpassed that of most of the team members, making her the undisputed second strongest. Therefore, no one dares to comment on her height.
"I think the faster we act, the better. After all, this is our first operation, and if we perform poorly, people will look down on us!"
A gloomy man with a punk-style hairstyle slowly stepped forward. He was wearing a mage's robe and looked like a mage or some kind of support class.
When the punk man struck up a conversation, Leanne simply glanced at him, which made him flinch. Judging from the look in his eyes, the two seemed to have had some past conflict.
"Are you saying I'm not fast enough?!"
Seeing Leant's fierce eyes, which seemed ready to explode at any moment, the punk man choked and gave up on what he was about to say.
"Alright, let's hurry up and catch up. Something seems wrong in the forest. Judging from the attack just now, he seems to be in great danger. We need to get there as soon as possible."
The team consisted of six people. However, just as Leant and the punk man were about to start arguing, the other three remained silent. Only one clergyman wearing the robes of the Holy Light Church spoke up to stop the two.
Although his words were more composed than others, his voice sounded extremely young, suggesting he was not very old.
Upon hearing the clergyman speak, Leant snorted and the murderous intent in her eyes lessened somewhat. The punk man, not wanting to provoke the dwarf any further, wisely withdrew.
No one objected to what the priest said, because since entering the forest they had indeed discovered many things that were not right. They had come to provide support, and they could not let things get worse; their actions had to be expedited.
Without hesitation, after discussing it, they quickly headed towards the location where the pillar of light had shot into the sky. Because of the short distance, the group moved very quickly and soon arrived at the location where the battle had just taken place.
"Wait!! That's..."
As the group was on their way, a curly-haired man carrying many packages suddenly stopped. His gaze fell on a clearing in the woods not far away, where he saw a very conspicuous creature.
With its eagle's head and lion's body, sharp claws and feathered wings, the griffin is a testament to the existence of this fantastical creature.
However, the curly-haired man's strongest impression of this creature was that it was their boss's mount... well... and it had a rather bad temper.
The griffin was surrounded by a group of humans, so the curly-haired man subconsciously assumed that the group wanted to hunt the griffin. Upon seeing this, he instinctively wanted to call for his companions to help.
Don't get me wrong, he wasn't worried about the leader's griffin being killed, but rather the safety of the humans. After all, the griffin's strength was not something an ordinary person could handle...
"Hey! We..."
However, just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized that several of his teammates had already teleported to that open space, leaving him alone in the same spot.
"Holy crap, these monsters..."
Looking at these inhuman creatures, the curly-haired man subconsciously made a sarcastic remark, but just then, a very gentle voice suddenly rang in his ear:
"What did you say?"
Seemingly afraid of being discovered by others criticizing them, the curly-haired man tensed up when he heard the voice. He turned around and saw that it was the busty healer in the group, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I...didn't say anything, just hummed a few words, did you hear me?"
Someone is trying to get away with it.
Hmm... I don't think so....
The seemingly naive nanny appeared oblivious to the person's harsh words.
"That's great, let's go over there."
Someone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm... okay..."
The nanny agreed and walked forward with the lagging curly-haired man, but stopped halfway there.
"Hmm... you're saying they're monsters?"
The nanny, perhaps recalling something, spoke in her usual tone.
"Mom! I call you Mom! Please don't tell them!!!"
Someone slid to their knees at lightning speed, fearing that those monsters would settle scores with them afterward.
Those monsters are terrifying! They fight like monsters, they're not human at all. If they knew I was fighting them, a newbie like me would definitely get beaten to death!
It's worth mentioning that this monster said it in his mind...
As the two strolled toward the open space, the group that had arrived earlier had already finished their interrogation.
"You mean that guy told you to leave, and then stayed behind to cover our retreat?"
As the priest performed a healing spell, he asked the crowd questions, mainly about the man who was unable to move due to his severe injuries and the turbulent flight caused by the griffin.
His name is Red Fox.
"That's right, you're his comrades, aren't you? Hurry and save him! Being surrounded by so many enemies must be very dangerous, not to mention I just saw a huge commotion deep in the forest. I wonder if other enemies have intervened in the battle!"
Although the red fox was weak, his tone was extremely excited. Clearly, he had not forgotten the knight who had saved him and wanted to save him as soon as possible.
However, after he finished speaking, the other party did not react, but continued to treat him.
"You don't need to worry about him. Judging from your current situation, he's probably better off than you..."
"After all, he has reached that level."
"What rank? Gold? I've seen Gold-level experts before, but that kind of scene just now wasn't something a Gold-level expert could handle! I must..."
"Do not."
Before Red Fox could finish speaking, the other party suddenly interrupted him, and after a moment of silence, slowly said:
"He is...above Gold..."
"Named..."
"hero."
