Chapter 55: The Beast Tide (I)
"Xiao Ao, I'll send you to Nalebus in a moment." Trantris took a sip of the soup, praised it, and said to Ophelia.
"No, Grandpa Trantris, you haven't taken a break from all the way from Galingbun, so I won't bother you."
"It's okay, old man, my body is still strong, this distance is nothing. It's really dangerous for you to stay here, and this time it's not a joke. ”
Seeing that Ophelia cared about herself, a smile of relief bloomed on the legendary old man's face. However, he still insisted, after all, this time the Beastmaster was infested, even if he was a warrior who slayed dragons, it was inevitable that accidents would happen, and he was indeed a little old.
"It's not like you're here, you're so powerful, Ophelia won't have an accident."
"No, grandpa is powerful, but grandpa is older, not as good as before, and when the time comes, he won't be able to take care of you when he fights with the beastmaster. There's no negotiable discussion on this matter, so you'll come with me in a moment. ”
Ophelia is Trentrice's most favored and favorite junior, and is praised by Ophelia for being very useful. But it's about Ophelia's safety, and he can't take any chances. If it's just protection, it's fine, but his mission this time is not to protect a person, but a city. It is also a group of brutal monsters, and the scene will definitely be chaotic at that time, and I am not sure if something will happen to Ophelia.
Hearing this, Ophelia's little face immediately collapsed, and she had to take out her Trantris Treasure.
"Grandpa~" Ophelia looked pitiful, her big eyes were full of grievances, and her small mouth was pouting. She knew that this coquettish appearance of Trantris would definitely not be able to resist.
Trantris has no heirs, so he has no descendants, and this is the most regrettable thing in his life. And when the previous Grand Duke and Trantris were sworn brothers, how could he not know his brother's helplessness, so he asked Trantris to be Ophelia's godfather, which was also a matter of old friends. Although there was a plan to keep Trantris in the principality, Transtris was also old and no longer liked to travel the continent as much as he did when he was younger, and he did like this whitewashed goddaughter, so he recognized it.
For more than ten years, Transtris, who has watched Ophelia grow up, has long regarded her as his own granddaughter, and Ophelia also likes this godfather who dotes on her, and the two are almost the same as normal grandchildren.
Because of this, although Kenseer didn't say anything, how could Transtris be willing to put Ophelia in such a dangerous place? When Ophelia wanted to travel, he was also reluctant, but he knew that it was beneficial to her, so he didn't stop her. But this time it really won't work.
Although he also knew that Ophelia was pretending, when it came to refusal, he really couldn't bear it, so he could only turn his head: "No, this time you have to go to Nalebus for everything." ”
"Grandpa~" Ophelia left her position and trotted over to Trantris, grabbing his hand and shaking it like she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Transtris finally couldn't resist it, his heart softened, and he was about to say something, but the golden light shone in from the window.
Both of them noticed this, and immediately walked to the window and looked at the light source.
To the south, the golden light was so dazzling that even from a distance, both of them could see it clearly.
Alas, forget it ...
Trantris sighed, it was the first level of light magic, flare, and the appearance at this time could only mean one thing.
Beast tide, ahead of schedule.
...
Twilight Forest
"Hurry, hurry! Get into that cave in front of you! ”
Yesa yelled, buying time for several of the team. They were supposed to go to Contesino, but they encountered a horde of monsters on the way. Normally, these dozens of Demonic Beasts with the highest strength of only bronze would not have caused much casualties to their team, but now half of their men had been lost, and the rest were all wounded. Although it is not impossible to force a breakthrough, it will make the rest of the brothers get in.
So he had to take the rest of the men around with him, and at last he reached the edge of the twilight forest, and faintly saw the lights on the towering walls of Conteseno, and just as he was relieved, the earth trembled violently.
He couldn't see what was behind him in time, but he knew what it was.
Beast tide!
Reluctantly glancing at the stars on the city walls, Yesa gritted his teeth and fled with his team into the depths of the Dusk Forest.
In their current state, it was impossible to reach Contesino before the beast tide, and forcibly rushing back would only cause them to be torn to pieces by the demonic beasts that were chasing after them.
Fortunately, they were not hopeless, he used to take commissions from the Twilight Forest, and he was more familiar with the area, and knew that there was a safe place. It was a hidden cave, and although the entrance was relatively large, there was a boulder in it that could be moved. It's a bit of a distance, but it's closer than going to Contesino, and they can enter the cave before the beast tide arrives, and then push the boulder together to seal the hole.
Now that the hiding place was in sight, they would be safe as soon as they entered.
The sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and Yesa subconsciously turned around.
A sturdy figure quickly passed through the herd and leaped high. The dark green eyes glistened with a fierce light, and a bloody mouth bit at the neck of the last team member.
Through the light of the three moons, Yesa could see clearly the lines on the figure, complex and beautiful.
Demonic leopard!
Yesa, who made a judgment, immediately turned around, drew out his spare short sword and threw it at the leopard's head, and rushed towards the demonic leopard with his long sword.
The sudden flight of the short sword made the demonic leopard have to change its posture, and the forelimbs were raised, and the short sword was slapped away, and the claws collided with the metal with a crisp sound, echoing in the night.
It wasn't until then that the team member knew that he had walked away from the Ghost Gate, and saw Yesa who had turned around, and the demonic leopard who was not far from him. He knew that if it weren't for Yesa, he was afraid that his neck would be bitten off just now!
Glancing at Yesa gratefully, the team member sped up and ran towards the cave, he had reached the limit, and there was no way to help Yesa, so he could only run towards the cave with the last of his strength. The other team members were hesitating to help when they saw the captain stop, but Yesa's resolute and loud voice exploded in their ears:
"Don't look back! Hurry inside, I'm fine! ”
The team hesitated for a moment, their eyes wandering between the captain and the demonic leopard, looking at Yesa, who was covered in wounds, and finally gritted his teeth and stood behind him. Even the team member who had just escaped death turned back after seeing the actions of the other partners
"What are you doing!" Sensing the actions of his companions, Yesa couldn't help but roar, and when the beast tide surrounded him, none of them could leave!
"Boss, let's die together!" One of the team members shouted, his tone full of determination.
"That's right! Die to die together! You can't let the boss be alone! ”
"Haha! Right! We're crazy knives! ”
The rest of the people also shouted together, and the resoluteness and friendship in it made Yesa's heart warm.
That's fine.
We're crazy knives!
"Haha! Kill these brutes, brothers! ”
Thinking of this, Ye Sahao smiled and rushed towards the demonic leopard with his sword.
