"Also, have you ever seen a Drow woman nad redith?"
The gazes of the three, led by Chris, turned towards the mage, Audu, as the question was asked.
They watched as his body underwent a massive transformation, morphing from an elderly mage into a monster with azure blue skin,
the three were left increasingly astonished by this sight!
....
anwhile.
Tessa and Weston, along with a group of eight, had arrived at the entrance of a main passage on the western side.
"Sir, after our investigation, we found that entering from here, the Wild Boar People’s defenses are relatively weaker."
"Hmm, let’s go in then!"
Soon, agile silhouettes swiftly filed in.
Ten minutes later.
After quickly dealing with a pair of Wild Boar People patrols, a group of five Wild Boar People in a patrol appeared ahead, causing the team to co to an imdiate halt.
Weston squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the five-mber patrol team led by a High-Tier Boarman Warrior, he turned to the subordinate beside him and said:
"Ezra, you’ll draw away this group of Wild Boar People, you have Invisibility Scrolls, right?"
The leader of the group, a High-Tier Boarman Warrior standing over two ters tall, would be difficult for them to kill instantly, and once the foe howled before dying, they would likely be surrounded by the Wild Boar People.
And Weston’s arrangent was straightforward, even... utterly cold-blooded.
That was to have his subordinate responsible for the diversion.
Though he provided each of them with an Invisibility Scroll, whether there was an opportunity to use it in the unfamiliar passage when chased by Wild Boar People remained a question.
And even if successfully used, whether one could escape from the keen senses of the Wild Boar People was another issue.
"Yes, Captain!"
Perhaps because they were all clan knights of Marquis Gareth, their personal, family, and honor were tightly bound to the Marquis family. Though there was fear in the knight’s eyes, it quickly transford into determination.
"Hmm! Go ahead."
"Yes!"
The young knight took the hand crossbow hanging from his waist, quickly approached the fork in the passage, and imdiately raised the crossbow to shoot at the Wild Boar People patrol not far away.
"Whoosh!"
"Damn it! There’s a human intruder!" Pulling the crossbow arrow from his shoulder, the High-Tier Boarman Warrior furiously charged with his n.
The young knight quickly fled towards the other side of the fork.
Seeing the Wild Boar People patrol diverted, Weston’s expression remained unchanged, he gestured, and the group sped through instantly.
But less than half a minute later, the sound of fierce tal clashing ca from behind, causing Tessa to look uneasy and say, "Sir Weston, that person...."
"Necessary sacrifices are unavoidable."
Weston’s words had barely left his lips.
The battle cries quickly faded into silence not far behind, and the triumphant grunts of the Wild Boar People could be heard.
Causing Tessa to shake her head slightly, remaining silent.
...
Elsewhere.
Raine’s group also arrived on the right side of the mountain.
As they gradually passed through the dense thornwood, soon, a hill still entwined with thorns but much less dense appeared before them.
However, at this mont on the right side not far away, a team of adventurers seed to be discussing tactics.
The others seed surprised to see Raine’s group arrive, and after a careful look at the five of them, the surprise on their faces grew.
Raine quickly scanned over the five of them.
Raine smiled and nodded, and the warrior leading the others also smiled, as the two completely unacquainted teams passed each other.
’Two shield bearers, should be warriors, one with a dagger and leather armor, should be a wanderer, two with bows, two rangers?’
’Judging from the intensity of their aura, they seem to be around level 3, though this team configuration seems...’
Of course, these thoughts were in Raine’s mind and wouldn’t be spoken aloud.
However, after Raine’s team walked a short distance, they heard the other team’s low whispers:
"Wow! Captain, did you see? Look at them, they have both a druid and a priest, two healers?"
"Yes, and they’re beautiful young girls too!"
"And that one holding a magic staff seems to be a caster," said another voice.
"Damn, compared to them, we look so poor! Forget about having healers and casters, we don’t even have a single young, pretty girl," ca the voice of the first speaker.
"Quit yapping! Alright, after we get back, why don’t you quit the team, and I’ll find us a girl," said a steady voice.
It was clear that the owner of this seemingly captain’s voice wasn’t genuinely mad.
"Don’t be like that, Captain, I was just suggesting, just suggesting, heh heh."
"I’m really jealous!"
Their words were not so low that they couldn’t be detected, and hearing this conversation, Elise and Sulfur Vine couldn’t help but stifle laughter.
Laisa couldn’t help but have the corners of her mouth curl a bit as well.
Several minutes later.
Raine’s group quietly continued along a winding, dimly lit passage.
Laisa, using her levitating boots, smoothly lured away two lone Wild Boar Warriors.
It was not that she couldn’t kill instantly, but once killed, other Wild Boar People, keen to the scent of blood, would be quickly drawn.
Therefore, the later they acted, the less likely they were to alert the Wild Boar People.
This was naturally most advantageous for the subsequent tasks.
Suddenly, Laisa’s graceful silhouette returned quickly from the front.
Her descent was silent, and her presence, almost like a gray shadow, would vanish completely once it entered the dim area, like a drop of water rging into the ocean.
