Chapter 61 Extremely Fortunately
61 Extremely Fortunately
“The seven of you focus on the adult Thunder Lizards and harass the other Lizards at the same time.”
Seeing the seven of them rush over, Fang Ping looked at the crowd on the left. “Those are all large hunting dogs. Be careful.”
As Fang Ping spoke, he saw William take out an eye mask from the corner of his eye and put it on.
He whispered, “Kill them all!”
The three adult Thunder Lizards in front of William stopped in their tracks. The thin sword slashed at him. The thick armor was like a layer of thin paper, and the entire sword sank into the adult Thunder Lizard’s body.
The other six people’s attacks followed. The three huge adult Thunder Lizards were instantly beaten into a bloody mess like paper.
Was this William’s characteristic?
This thought flashed through his mind. There should be no problem here for the time being. Fang Ping looked to his left. Someone had lit a fire on a tree, illuminating the surroundings.
“Stay alert!”
A group of large hunting dogs slowly walked out of the forest. They were half the height of a person and had blue-purple manes all over their bodies. Their heads were lowered and their mouths were half open, revealing sharp teeth as they growled.
Fang Ping was a little glad that he had read Knight Sean’s Travels on the Continent. It introduced the characteristics of many races.
Beasts were different from Humans. They did not need Awakening Stones to awaken their characteristics. The same race would have the same characteristics through growth.
The number of large hunting dogs far exceeded Fang Ping’s estimation. There were more than thirty of them, but they only growled on the spot and did not attack.
Large hunting dogs had the characteristics of running and counterattacking. They were far stronger than Humans, but it was strange why they did not attack.
Characteristic Run: Increases movement speed by 50%.
Characteristic Counterattack: When attacked, counterattack the attacker.
Fang Ping glanced at the heavy-armored Lizards. They were also spewing air and making whooshing sounds. They did not move again.
Fang Ping raised his left hand and clenched it into a fist. “Stop. Retreat. Maintain vigilance.”
Their reactions were strange. What was going on?
The rest of Fang Ping’s team noticed the beast’s abnormality. They stopped attacking and confronted the beast.
On the other hand, Fang Ping continued to use Special Ability Enhancement towards the depths of the forest.
“Characteristics failed. Target Elf Longbowman Mendes, not himself.”
‘Name?’
3This was the first time that the characteristic had given him a name that was not Human. What was going on? Was this Elf special?
Fang Ping looked at Elsa, who was not far away. She and Commander Shockley continued to stand where they were without any special performance.
Seeing them like this, Fang Ping was relieved. At least it meant that there would be no threat.
Fang Ping glanced at Stacy. The green color on her body had faded. It seemed that the poison did not last long. Other than her pale face, she could already stand up and hold the bow. It should not affect her much.
Wuwu
The large hunting dog let out a low growl and retreated to both sides. A figure walked out of the darkness.
The dim firelight shone on his body. The most eye-catching thing was his long red hair and long ears.
He did not care about the adult Thunder Lizard that had fallen and the Poisonous Bat that had been cut in half. He looked past the beasts and people to Captain Shockley, who had been standing at the edge.
Smiling, he said, “Shockley, you’re here.”
They knew each other?
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Captain Shockley and the red-haired Elf.
Fang Ping also looked at Mendes. He seemed quite powerful. These beasts seemed to listen to his commands.
Captain Shockley also said, “Traitor Mendez, I didn’t expect you to still be alive after so many years.”
“Hahaha, of course I’m not dead. Look, these Elves and beasts are all under my command. The soldiers under me are much stronger than these children you brought along. Hahaha!”
Mendes laughed arrogantly, and his laughter echoed throughout the entire Dark Forest.
Whether it was Fang Ping’s team, the Lizards, or the hounds, they all stood quietly where they were.
Shockley said, “They’re all future elites. What’s the use of your soldiers? The Dark Forest has always kept to itself for protection. They never take the initiative to attack outside world.”
“Hahaha! So what?! As long as I’m here, don’t even think about entering the Dark Forest!”
Mendes, who was still smiling, suddenly had a ferocious expression. “You killed me back then. Now, I want Humans to pay the price!”
Fang Ping was stunned when he heard Mendez’s words. ‘Kill him? Then what are you now?’
“You betrayed the Humans first, Mendez.” Shockley looked at him, his voice firm, still unhurried.
“I’m not!” Mendez roared. “I’m doing this for humanity. You’re the ones who killed me! I was forced!”
Shockley shook his head. “I should have killed you back then. I shouldn’t have left you in Canaan.”
Canaan? Fang Ping heard a familiar word. This word was the name of the place he had just come from.
“Hahahaha.” Mendes looked up and laughed maniacally.
He glared at Shockley, his eyes bulging. “You didn’t expect this, did you? I actually survived. Not only did I not die, but I didn’t fuse into those monsters. I did it! I did it!”
Mendes swept his gaze across Fang Ping’s team, a strange smile on his face. “Die, die, all of you die! Hahahaha!”
He turned and walked into the Dark Forest, his arrogant laughter still echoing in the forest.
The large hound glared covetously and growled again.
“Everyone.”
Fang Ping heard Elsa’s voice and looked over. She raised her hand and gave him a thumbs up.
“Retreat!”
Densely packed arrows instantly flew out of the forest.
Fang Ping had just estimated with his special characteristics that there were not many Spirit Archers in the forest, but now? How could there be such a huge deviation?
However, now was not the time to think about this. The large hounds had already pounced on him. They were fast and there were many of them. Fortunately, the damage was not high.
However, the damage of the arrow was not low. Once entangled, it was no laughing matter.
Captain Shockley raised his mace. “Sanctum.”
A huge golden circle of light descended from the sky, and the Dark Forest immediately became golden.
Fang Ping also saw the large group of Sprite Archers in front of him clearly. Further away, there was still an endless stream of figures surging over.
“Retreat!”
Someone shouted again. The Warriors in front also saw the Elven Archers. They could not care less about being attacked by the large hunting dogs and turned to run.
Fang Ping cast a Forbidden Blessing Spell on himself. He did not run. He raised his staff and prepared to use the Forbidden Blessing Spell on those in danger.
However, Fang Ping had overestimated himself. He suddenly realized that many arrows were shooting at him.
“Instant Strike!”
One of the arrows was even faster and hit Fang Ping’s back. Fang Ping fell to the ground. With the protection of the Blessing Forbidden Spell, it did not cause much damage.
Instead, several arrows flew over from above.
“Retreat! Why are you standing there?!”
Someone shouted at him.
