Chapter 351 - A Guarding Crow

Chapter 351: A Guarding Crow

In the Dark Society’s base.

Boom!

Mo Tao led the two master-level Sprite Trainers to search along the route and caught many Dark Society members who were running at a slower speed.

But most of them were just underlings.

They were entry-level Sprite Trainers, and some were even ordinary people.

These ordinary people were most likely people from the bottom class who were brainwashed or deceived and brought here to do some chores in the stronghold.

They didn’t know much.

Even if it was a leader member, unless they were related to the three officers in the stronghold, none of them understood anything about the core secrets of the stronghold.

But…

From the two master-level Sprite Trainers captured in front of him, Mo Tao was able to obtain more information about the three officers of the stronghold.

“Scarface Dragon…”

In Mo Tao’s hand was a photo. In it, there was a middle-aged man. The scar on his face went from his left eye to his chin. It was a ghastly sight, adding to his murderous aura!

The man’s characteristics were also very obvious!

Mo Tao immediately remembered a Sprite Trainer who was wanted by Dragon Nation a few years ago.

“Luo Yanglong! It must be him! A few years ago, he killed a team that was chasing after him! Among the team were a master-level trainer and four elite-level trainers. He later disappeared but I didn’t expect that he would actually become a Dark Society officer now!”

Mo Tao felt troubled.

The officers of the Dark Society were at least at a high master-level, but even within the master-level, the difference between the strong and the weak was huge. For example, Mo Tao and Su Hao were both master-level, but the difference…

“A few years ago, the scarface dragon was already not weak. Now, with the resources provided by the Dark Society, I wonder which stage he has reached? Even if he isn’t a quasi-Heavenly King, he shouldn’t be far off, right?!”

What made Mo Tao even more troubled was…

From the mouths of the other members of the Dark Society, they learned that among the three officers, Agumu was the one in charge. This also meant that Agumu was the strongest Sprite Trainer in the stronghold.

It also meant that he was stronger than the scarface dragon!

Could the inspector really handle them?

…

At the end of the narrow valley.

A large team moved forward quickly. In the team, some sprites such as the Mountain Moving Ape and Ground Wolf even carried some metal boxes that contained items meant to be transported out.

In the middle of the team, a man with a long and narrow scar on his face was riding on a Ground Wolf. His cold gaze swept across the others in the team.

“We have to transport this batch of items out!

“Without these Union prohibited items, we won’t be able to exchange for rare resources from the tribe. In fact… the higher-ups paid a huge price to get these items. If we lose them then… hmph, you know the consequences!”

He paused for a moment. “Hurry up. We have to leave this place before the Union completely locks down the mountain range!”

When they arrived at the end of the valley, the team stopped.

Scarface Dragon rode the Ground Wolf and got ahead of the crowd. He arrived at the front, looked around, and pressed a certain spot on the rock wall.

In an instant…

Amidst the rumbling sounds, the rock wall in front of him, which didn’t look much different from ordinary mountain walls, separated to the sides, revealing a passage more than ten meters long and seven to eight meters wide.

Outside, they saw blue sky and white clouds. The trees outside were also very lush.

There was no sign of any Union Sprite Trainers.

“We escaped!”

A Sprite Trainer of the Dark Society revealed a look of joy, but the next moment…

“Squawk…”

A loud cry came from behind. They looked back. A huge bird bathed in flames flew over from afar. Wherever it passed, it left a long flaming tail.

Many Dark Society members’ expressions changed.

“It’s the Union’s scouts!”

Scarface Dragon’s eyes became sharp. He said to the others, “Quickly transport the items out of the valley. There will be people waiting for you at the designated location. As for me…”

“I’ll get rid of this big hindrance of a bird! If we kill this scout, we’ll probably at least get an extra ten minutes to escape.”

He clenched his fist, and his bones made cracking sounds.

A Golden-Armored Overlord appeared and held a dazzling golden broadsword as its aura kept rising.

This sprite…

It was his trump card.

It was a powerful sprite cultivated by the Dark Society five years ago using its resources and channels.

As for Scarface Dragon’s initial sprite, the Ground Wolf, it was indeed already extraordinary five years ago, but its potential had long been exhausted. Now, even if he spent ten times the resources on it, the improvement it could achieve was very weak.

Scarface Dragon wouldn’t waste precious resources on a sprite that had already reached the end.

At this moment, the Golden-Armored Overlord was already ready to attack. The Dark Society team of more than ten people was also busy bringing the metal box to pass through the seven to eight-meter wide exit.

When the Dazed Crow saw this, it was immediately angered!

You are interfering with my investigation, Squawk!

It spread its wings and turned into a flaming stream of light. In an instant, it passed the Dark Society team and landed at the exit. It spread its wings and drew two dazzling lines of fire, as if it was saying, Whoever crosses the line will be slashed!

The raging flames were terrifying.

In the Dark Society team, many elite-level sprites couldn’t help but take a few steps back. Even the extraordinary-level sprites were trembling.

But…

The Golden-Armored Overlord couldn’t fly. If the Flaming Spiritcrow kept floating in the distance, it would also have trouble fighting it.

But now that it was blocking the exit…

It was stupid to block the exit that was seven to eight meters wide and only ten to twenty meters high.

Scarface Dragon revealed a sinister smile.

The instant the Dazed Crow flew over, the Golden-Armored Overlord’s entire body turned back. With a few steps, it stomped on the ground until it cracked. It held the handle of the saber and slashed down with its brilliant golden long saber, slashing out a dazzling golden blade light.

With a howl, it tore through the air and attacked the Flaming Spiritcrow who was blocking the exit.

Scarface Dragon thought that he saw the Flaming Spiritcrow, which was in a disadvantageous terrain, being cut in half by a single slash.

The corners of his lips curled up again. Together with the long and narrow scar on his face, he looked even more ferocious.

At this moment…

“Squawk…”

Amidst a loud and clear cry, a blazing flaming blade light slashed out, colliding with the dazzling golden blade light flying over.

Boom!

Red and gold energies of two different colors exploded with a boom.

Rings of aftershock spread outwards. Some of the Dark Society Sprite Trainers closest to them hurriedly commanded their sprites to block in front of them, but they were still sent tumbling by the air wave, and faint colored barriers appeared around their bodies.

In the middle of the team.

Scarface Dragon’s eyes widened slightly, revealing some surprise.

“But a Crusty Flaming Spiritcrow can’t possibly fight my Golden Armor Overlord head-on.”

He wanted to take this opportunity to kill the Flaming Spiritcrow, in case the crow’s trainer found out and directly summoned it back.

With a thought from its trainer…

The Golden Overlord, which had slashed out the saber light, continued to stride forward. Its aura kept rising. Brilliance flowed on the golden armor, shining brightly. The blade of the broadsword even blossomed with dazzling golden light, illuminating the surrounding one to two hundred meters.

The Golden-Armored Overlord rushed forward, its broadsword slashing down with terrifying sharp energy.

An explosion erupted!

At the same time…

The Dazed Crow, which was blocking the exit, had no intention of dodging at all. It looked at the Golden-Armored Overlord running over, its eyes burning with golden flames.

A sprite true in its spirit had to fight another sprite head-on!

A sharp aura spread out from the crow’s body, and raging flames emerged on its scarlet feathers. It was like a scarlet sun, emitting endless light and heat.

Its Flaming Feather Saber lengthened and stuck to its body. Then, it suddenly swung out!

Dazzling crimson saber light slashed out from behind, sweeping through the air…

Boom!!!

Smoke and dust filled the air, and a terrifying shock wave swept forward and backward. The solid stone wall was also shaken until gravel flew everywhere, and some cracks spread with cracking sounds.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the Golden-Armored Overlord roared and withstood the terrifying impact of the head-on collision before finally slashing down with its heavy saber!

The Dazed Crow did the same.

The Flaming Feather Saber retracted and slashed again. In an instant, it slashed out six times. The saber light merged and shot out a dazzling light, blasting forward.

Sword against sword!!

The two sprites didn’t retreat a step!

Cries and roars sounded continuously.

The impact of the explosion was like waves, affecting the surroundings.

Crimson flames and dazzling golden light constantly flew out of the smoke and dust.

After a long time…

No, it had only been a short while.

Accompanied by a bang, the golden figure flew out of the smoke and dust. It staggered and made a few holes in the ground, knocking down two sprites in the process. Then, it barely held onto its blade but was able to withstand the retreating momentum.

At this moment…

There were already deep saber marks on the Golden-Armored Overlord’s shiny armor. Around it, wisps of red light dissipated.

In just a few exchanges, it was injured.

Scarface Dragon revealed a look of disbelief.
