Chapter 630: Chapter 440: Mysterious Cave_1
Feeling puzzled, Leo Ray slowly strolled through the territory while opening a mind talk.
Soon after, Sean, the captain of the Tier 3 Winged Dragon Knight Squad, spoke to Leo Ray with a panting, nervous voice: “My Lord, we have found something unusual here…”
“Unusual?”
Hearing this, a curious expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face, and he asked, “Aren’t you ten escorting the Azure Pterosaurs to build nests in the Hundred Ranges near our territory?”
“Yes, because the Azure Pterosaurs are massive, over sixty of them cannot fit together. So the ten of us found an excellent group of caves in a concealed area of a mountain peak, which met the nesting requirements.”
From the other side of the mind talk, Sean’s still unsteady voice continued: “We didn’t find anything unusual during the first five caves; everything went smoothly…”
At this point, Sean’s tone became more urgent: “But upon entering the sixth cave, a sudden change occurred.”
Then, swallowing his saliva, Sean continued: “Deep in the cave, we discovered a hidden path. Strangely enough, we organized some people and were about to go forward for a closer inspection.”
From that concealed passageway, over twenty Tier 3 Clay Soldiers charged out and initiated an attack on us.”
“These advanced magic puppets are very strange, no matter how hard we slash, they quickly recover and cannot be fatally injured.”
“Helplessly, after a bitter battle, we finally broke free from their entanglement and managed to retreat to the outside of the cave. Fortunately, they didn’t chase after us…”
“Oh?” Hearing this, Leo Ray’s face revealed a solemn expression.
By Sean’s description, it could be known that those sudden magic puppets were indeed dangerous, likely guarding something important.
And the location of Sean and his team’s nest-building site wasn’t far from the Lord’s territory, located in the Hundred Ranges to the north.
Therefore, they couldn’t ignore the existence of such an unknown dangerous place near the territory.
Realizing this, Leo Ray immediately asked, “Sean, how are you and your team doing?”
“My Lord, only three Winged Dragon Knights have suffered minor injuries, and the rest are fine.”
Then, Sean’s gradually calming voice once again reached Leo Ray’s ear: “And we’re guarding the entrance of this cave to prevent them from reappearing.”
“You’ve done well. Wait there, and I’ll bring more people.”
With that said, Leo Ray closed the mind talk and called Scarlett, Gideon Black, Serena, and Stella towards him.
In a short while, centered on Leo Ray, Taylor, Rose Night, Bianca White, and a few newly arrived Tier 4 Powerhouses gathered in front of the small gate on the western side of the territory.
“Everyone, this is the situation.”
Nodding at the seven subordinates in front of him, Leo Ray briefly described Sean’s affairs.
Having said that, Leo Ray mounted his white giant wolf and continued, “Alright, let’s go and see what secrets are hidden in that cave.”
“””Yes, my Lord!””” The two Tier 5 Powerhouses and the four Tier 4 Powerhouses on their side responded respectfully in unison.
Thus, under the guidance of the two Pterosaur Knights who came to show the way in the sky, they journeyed towards the scene.
It didn’t take long for the eight of them to penetrate deep into the Hundred Ranges in the northern part of the territory.
As they moved at a rapid pace, Leo Ray noticed that the terrain here was extremely complex.
Glancing around, amid the swirling mists, there were strange rock formations and overlapping mountain ranges everywhere.
Knife-like cliffs, along with uneven valleys, were in abundance, far more intricate than the Pine Sound Range they had crossed several times before.
Such treacherous terrain would be difficult for even an ordinary Tier 3 Powerhouse to traverse in a short time, let alone regular soldiers.
Moreover, aside from the dangerous environment, the mountain range was also home to a large number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 magical beasts, forming a double barrier with the mountains themselves.
“This Hundred Ranges is indeed a perfect natural barrier.” Noticing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
In the eight-person group, only Bianca White and Leo Ray himself remained at the Tier 3 Peak Level.
But having grown up in the mountains, Bianca was naturally adept at navigating them.
Even in her white giant wolf form, her speed was comparable to Serena and Stella.
Thus, the team’s overall efficiency was not significantly impacted.
So as the two suns’ light dimmed and twilight descended, Leo Ray and his party arrived, weary and dusty, meeting up with Sean and the other Pterosaur Knights.
“Greetings, my Lord!”
Seeing Leo Ray leap off his white giant wolf, Sean and the other knights in their uniforms approached and respectfully saluted.
At this moment, it was clear that Sean and the others looked relieved.
The arrival of Leo Ray and his party undoubtedly eased the tension they had been feeling all along.
