Chapter 18: Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With the addition of the Horned Scorpion Tigers, the group’s defense became more difficult. Even with the help of Lily and Noah’s magic, it was to no avail. After all, their spells could only deal with two or three Horned Scorpion Tigers at a time.

“Captain, I can’t hold on much longer!” Someone suddenly shouted.

Kane turned his head and saw a red wound on his team member’s arm. Blood was flowing out of the wound, and his face was pale.

One could imagine that if the Horned Scorpion Tiger launched another round of attacks, the injured member would become the breakthrough point, and their team would be scattered.

At this time, Kane made a prompt decision. “We can’t hold on any longer. Get ready to break out!”

“Miss, you must follow me closely later!” Kane reminded.

Lily nodded.

“David, come with me later. We’ll find a way out!”

“Understood!” David walked over and replied in a deep voice.

The Horned Scorpion Tiger leader let out a low roar again. It seemed to have discovered the group’s intentions. After receiving the order, all the Horned Scorpion Tigers increased their speed again.

“Brothers, let’s go!” Kane shouted, and everyone whipped and galloped out.

“Sir, I’ll protect you!” A young man with a long sword walked up to Noah and said.

Noah nodded and followed him out.

At this time, it could be seen why wind-chasing horses the favorite mounts of most adventurers were. Although they could not be compared with those fierce magic beasts, all wind-chasing foals were magical beasts by nature. Although they had been tamed by humans, they were not timid in the face of the fierce Horned Scorpion Tigers. All of them neighed and rushed forward.

The team of nearly ten people was quickly scattered by the large wave of Horned Scorpion Tigers. Kane and David protected Lily and led the way. The two were also heroes. The combat energy unique to knights in their bodies was running wildly, and the air around them seemed to be distorted by this energy. With the cooperation of the two, almost all the Horned Scorpion Tigers that pounced on them were smashed away with one strike. Occasionally, with Lily’s magic fireballs, they could even kill a Horned Scorpion Tigers directly.

On the other side, Noah followed the young adventurer and broke out of the encirclement. The young adventurer’s strength was somewhat beyond Noah’s expectations. He thought that Kane and David were the strongest in this group, but he did not expect that the young man next to him, who he had no impression of, was also not to be underestimated. Not a single Horned Scorpion Tiger could break through his defense.

Combined with Noah’s support, their speed was no different from Kane’s. They were even slightly faster, but in different directions.

Noah also noticed that the young man was moving further and further away, but he could not communicate with him and could not ask. He could only follow the young man forward.

Looking around, everyone had a short confrontation with the Horned Scorpion Tigers, but with their strength, they could basically escape. However, Noah still saw an adventurer being surrounded, and another adventurer on the way to help.

He did not know if they would be able to escape safely.

Gradually, the number of Horned Scorpion Tigers chasing after him decreased, but at the same time, there was a problem. There were no other adventurers around him, only Noah and the young adventurer.

Finally, after running for who knows how long, the Horned Scorpion Tigers behind him finally gave up and stopped chasing.

“To be on the safe side, let’s go a little further,” The young man said when he saw that the Horned Scorpion Tigers were no longer behind them.

Noah nodded.

After walking for a while, the young adventurer stopped and said, “Sir, please go a little further. I’ll stay here and observe the situation. If the Horned Scorpion Tigers don’t catch up, I’ll come to you.” The young adventurer suddenly suggested.

Although Noah was suspicious, he only thought that the other party was being cautious, so he did not care. He stepped on the stirrup and slowly walked past the young adventurer.

Suddenly, just as he walked past the young adventurer, Noah felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart. His body could not help but have goosebumps, as if something life-threatening was going to happen the next second.

Hence, Noah subconsciously turned his head to remind the young man because not long ago in the cave of the Ice Python, he had the same feeling, and thus reminded Lily and the others.

However, just as Noah turned his head, a cold light entered his eyes. If one looked carefully, they would see the sharp edge of a long sword slashing straight down at his face!

The young adventurer was trying to kill him.

Noah did not have time to think. He suddenly fell back, trying to avoid this fatal slash. The young man obviously did not expect Noah to suddenly turn his head and react so quickly. His arm, which had been restrained, instantly used all its strength. It was so fast that it even left an afterimage.

Noah’s pupils contracted as he stared at the blade that was slashing down at him. However, because the distance between the two was too close, even though Noah had already fallen back, the blade still cut through his chest, leaving a bloody mark.

Noah did not have time to check on his injuries. He quickly turned his head and kicked the stirrups, and the wind-chasing horse rushed out.

Seeing that his sneak attack was dodged by Noah, the young man’s face was full of frost, and he immediately chased after Noah. He did not dare to give Noah a chance to open up the distance. If a mage opened up the distance and hit him with a spell, he would not be able to lose his life even if he had ten lives. Although he was very confident in his strength, and even Kane was not his opponent, even an official knight would not dare to be so arrogant if a mage opened up the distance!

“Fortunately, I smeared poison on the blade just in case. You can’t run away!” He said. The young man smiled as he watched Noah escape.
