156 Becoming a Scout
As William weaved through the Lizards, terrifying wounds were left behind. He swung his sword, and a Lizard’s head fell, and blood splattered.
He didn’t seem to be on the battlefield, but on the stage. He wasn’t doing it to kill the enemy. It was more like a performance. The Lizards were dancing with him used their bodies and blood to release gorgeous fireworks for this performance.
The others also entered the battlefield. Unlike William’s performance, the others’ attacks were more practical.
They attacked cautiously and retreated with a single strike.
The Lizards and Heavy Armored Lizards were sent flying, and the Thunder Lizards’ Electric breathed their last. This was no joke.
The Lizards still fell one after another.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Sharp cries came from the Gem Beast team at the back. Fang Ping thought that they were retreating and was about to give the order to chase after them. Unexpectedly, the Lizards’ eyes lit up with a ferocious glint. They took large strides and continued walking forward.
One skill after another, ferocious attacks and fireballs, regardless of whether there was anyone in front of them, smashed into the snow. They relied on their skills to open a path and push forward.
“Close combat retreat.”
Fang Ping was a little confused. What were they trying to do? The energy of wild beasts was not unlimited. How many skills could they smash like this? It was really meaningless.
Or did they know that they were going to die, that they couldn’t win, that their movement speed was slow, and that they couldn’t run away, so they resisted stubbornly in the end? It felt possible.
The Gem Beasts behind were also following. Most of them were Mages. They used Fireball, Weakening Spell, and Poison Mist. They even unleashed a ring of ice, freezing Andre in place. Fang Ping quickly purified him so Andre could escape.
“The situation is not right. Everyone! Retreat immediately! Immediately!”
Elsa’s voice sounded.
Hearing Elsa’s words, no one questioned why, and they all ran up the mountain.
Fang Ping could not care less. It must be a critical matter for Elsa to take over the command urgently.
He followed the ranged soldier and ran backward. He held the Life Forbidden Spell in his hand and prepared to use it immediately if there were any special circumstances.
As for the Warriors who had yet to retreat, he could only hope that they were lucky.
The most important thing was to survive.
Realizing that the Humans were retreating quickly, the Lizards behind them were roaring and roaring loudly. They could not catch up.
He had not run far when Fang Ping felt something strange. The clear and cloudless sky above his head cast a shadow, and black clouds quickly gathered.
Behind him, a Golden Gem Beast raised its wooden stick and pointed at the sky.
What kind of skill was this?
A white light flashed.
Silver-white lightning fell from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dense thunder came late.
The moment he saw the silver flash, Fang Ping immediately used his skill on himself.
“Life Forbidden Spell! Magic Armor Forbidden Spell!”
The moment he saw the dark clouds, Fang Ping guessed that it would be Lightning. He did not know where the target was, but he had to use the Protection Skill first and accumulate energy later.
Before he could finish thinking, a bolt of lightning struck Fang Ping’s head.
Fang Ping felt his mind go blank. His vision went blank. The muscles in his entire body stiffened and tightened. He fell headfirst onto the snow. The white world turned black and he lost consciousness.
“Wake up!”
Fang Ping opened his eyes and saw Xiang Yu. His head was spinning, and his face was burning with pain. He did not know what had happened.
“What’s wrong? What’s going on now?”
Xiang Yu stood up. “The battle isn’t over yet. You’re lucky to be alive.”
Fang Ping pushed against the snow and got up. The ground in the distance was littered with lizard corpses. Fang Ping’s team was chasing after the Gem Beast and had already run far away.
“You look fine.”
Only then did Fang Ping realize that Elsa was standing at the side.
Elsa continued, “This should be an Epic-grade Lightning Strike. That Golden Gem Beast is also very talented to be able to master such a skill.”
“Epic-grade Lightning Strike?”
“Yes. Deals random lightning damage of 10 to 100 points to enemies within 20 meters. His target is you, as the commander.”
Random damage of 10 to 100?
Fang Ping thought about it. His Life Forbidden Spell was Excellent-grade, which increased his attack power by 60 points. His Magic Armor Forbidden Spell increased his Magic Armor by 2 points. His Frost Set increased his attack power by 5 points and his Magic Shield by 1 point.
Even with such high support, he was still knocked out by a bolt of lightning?
Could it be that he had randomly been dealt with the highest 100 points?
He didn’t know if he was lucky or not.
“Right, what about the others? Did anything happen to any of them?”
He had such strong protection, but others did not.
“It’s fine. Three of them took 10 to 20 points of damage. They just need to drink a healing potion. The other one drank a Golden Body Potion, so he’s fine. This time, our luck is really good.”
Not a single player had died to a Class 4 Epic Skill, they were indeed lucky.
Fang Ping looked at the team chasing after the Gem Beast and could not quite understand. “Why did they suddenly attack us? I feel that other than that Golden Gem Beast, the rest of their strength is very ordinary. It feels like they’re here to die.”
Elsa glanced at Fang Ping. “Tell me your characteristics, and I’ll tell you why they’re here.”
...
“No need. I was just asking casually. Why they came has nothing to do with me. I’m just an ordinary working student.”
Elsa didn’t hesitate. She looked down the hill and said, “Elves believe in the Tree of Life, Orcs believe in totems, and wild beasts believe in Dragons.”
When Elsa said that, Fang Ping understood that it was because Ivan had just killed their god. They were here for revenge.
The pursuit at the foot of the hill was also coming to an end. The Gem Beasts were in a hurry because of the pine cones, and the frequency of their attacks had also slowed down. In addition, they were all mages. After being approached, they basically had no ability to resist. They fell one after another like stalks of wheat being cut down.
“Fang Ping, go and see how the feudal Lord’s Guards are doing.”
Elsa took a few steps forward and shouted down the hill, “Clean up the battlefield and get ready to leave.”
Fang Ping jogged forward. Why did he feel like he had become a scout again?
The Lord’s Guards were also cleaning up the battlefield. The snow was dyed red, along with some other colors.
Fang Ping walked closer as well.
Huge lizards lay on the ground with other creatures scattered around them.
It had three heads and a strange body structure.
...
Chimera.
A horse that looked like a warhorse had a long horn on its head.
A unicorn.
It seemed that there were more types of wild beasts here.
As the soldiers carried the items back into the carriage, Fang Ping saw something special.
From an open carriage, a huge blue claw reached out. Two soldiers grabbed it and stuffed it inside.
Dragon? The adult Lightning Wyvern?
A claw was like a spear. How big was its entire body?
The soldiers were still busy. It did not look like they would be leaving soon. Fang Ping returned to his team.
