On the cliffside.
Five Land Birds leaped directly off, spreading their shorter wings to glide effortlessly from high in the air, landing steadily on the ground below.
Bi'an, riding on a Land Bird, blinked and perford a comprehensive scan of the surroundings.
"Look over there, soone fell from above, landed on the vines, and slid down to the pile of leaves along the tree trunk."
Under Bi'an's [Identification] ability, no trace could escape detection.
Of course, not everyone could do this. It requires mastery of traceology, proficiency in tracking techniques, and understanding the various changes that traces undergo in different circumstances.
These are essential knowledge for any Night Watcher Thief, and also vital for any Ranger to understand.
Only with solid knowledge as a foundation can the [Identification] ability instantly mark all information obtained.
"It should be the group being chased by rats." Yorndaren said, drawing a magic-powered gun from his waist.
He jumped off the Land Bird, gently patted the bird's head, and then tapped a specially-made pouch on his waist.
The Land Bird instantly shrunk and entered the pouch.
[Companion Backpack - Land Bird Style]
This was a product made long ago, capable of temporarily storing the Land Bird in a pouch, although this state can't be maintained for too long.
Although there is air supply inside the pouch, space is ultimately limited.
Most Night Watchers set up a simple arrangent inside, making it resemble a nest for the Land Bird.
If there is no continuous supply of magic power, the pouch will automatically open, and the Land Bird inside will run out on its own.
With magic power supplied, if the Land Bird is stored for more than four hours, it will throw a tantrum, unless it wants to sleep or rest.
Besides the Land Bird steed, various animal companions can also be stored inside. The price of the backpack varies according to the size of the animal stored.
After storing the Land Bird, the group quickly ford a simple formation and slowly advanced towards the target area.
"This team's mbers should be injured, their footsteps are uneven, four n and one woman, including an old man. They ca all the way here, hmm, it's a ruin."
After a brief exchange, the group almost simultaneously arrived at the ruins where Swade and his team were resting.
"The traces have been handled a bit roughly," Bi'an evaluated.
Tyr shrugged, stepped forward, and forcefully pried open a loose stone slab.
He said helplessly, "You can't demand others to et the Night Watcher's standards, after all, everything is exposed under the [Identification] ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly squatted down and sniffed close to the opening.
Without needing him to say more, all team mbers activated their [Identification] ability.
Vier imdiately said, "The magic power seems off, the magic power flowing out from inside is mixed with malice, carrying the aura of Chaos Power. Even if it's not a Chaos Force, it's definitely an intruder."
Upon hearing this, Tyr didn't hesitate at all, raising his shield, he directly jumped into the opening, and everyone else followed suit in sequence, according to the pre-established formation.
The group advanced quickly down the tunnel in a crouched position.
"Quick, quick, quick, I hear sounds of fighting," Tyr shouted loudly.
"Bi'an!" Yorndaren called out.
"I got it."
Bi'an responded, his figure instantly transforming into a shadow that disappeared with a "whoosh".
In the vast space.
Skeletons with eyes glowing in blood-red light, Zombie Knights riding what seed like desiccated warhorses, and giant nacing spiders with blood-red shells surrounded Swade's group.
At this mont, Toby was completely incapable of resistance, lying on the ground with his life uncertain.
Swade and the others were heavily surrounded, their injuries worsening, however, there wasn't a single enemy corpse at their feet.
Zahanu was engaging in a fierce battle with a skeleton warrior.
Others were firmly bogged down by a giant spider.
These creatures approached slowly without rush, seemingly in no hurry to deliver a fatal blow.
"Whoosh!"
A piercing sound echoed, a blood-colored spider silk shot diagonally from afar, sticking onto Toby in a flash.
The silk retracted swiftly.
Toby was yanked up forcefully.
"Damn it!" Swade swung his sword in an attempt to block, but the blade misdirected, getting deflected by the spider with a swing, sending him and his sword flying away.
A spider leg dangled down, pulling Toby in front of the spider. Its mouth unlike any ordinary insect, was like the teeth of a spiral at grinder, rotating slowly.
The silk wound around Toby with the spider's legs, wrapping him up slowly.
"What are you doing now?" Lisa Lisa hurriedly helped Swade up from the ground.
"I have to save him, I promised Grandma Jasmine."
The old man too temporarily abandoned the attack, stepping back a few steps with his short knife in hand.
"No worries, you're not going back anyway."
At this mont, the overhead spider scread sharply, the sound spreading like a golden wave.
Upon hearing this cry, all monsters around imdiately turned their focus upwards.
"What happened to it?!" the old man asked, face full of confusion.
The group quickly looked upwards.
In the shadow on the spider's back, a figure in a black robe erged.
The mont this person appeared, the spider's body was instantly chiseled into countless pieces, its scream turning into its final lant.
Toby, who was just wrapped up, fell from the sky, where a black shadow holding onto the silk swung down, securely catching him, and both landed steadily on the ground.
This ti, the actions of those creatures were incredibly swift.
In almost an instant, they surrounded them again.
The shadow held Toby with one hand and gripped the spider silk with the other hand, tearing it off, then waving it like a whip, lashing it out.
The few skeletons charging ahead shattered into pieces instantly, then a spider quickly leaped forward, only to have its head exploded by a fierce kick from the shadow.
Trendous power coursed through the spider's entire body, causing it to burst into disgusting fragnts, scattering all around.
Accompanied by the sound of iron hooves.
A previously motionless Zombie Knight slashed with its sword, charging rapidly towards the shadow.
"Watch out!" Lisa Lisa couldn't help but shout loudly.
At that mont, the shadow was preoccupied with holding Toby and fending off surrounding creatures, while the Zombie Knight had already charged behind him.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp piercing sound echoed again.
Two streaks of erald green light flashed by, halting the Zombie Knight's charge abruptly, sliding forward a short distance before collapsing to the ground.
Its head and the horse's head had vanished without a trace.
The shadow nonchalantly swung the silk it had swung down with, entangling the Zombie Knight's corpse, then like wielding a teor Hamr, spun it wildly.
The surrounding creatures couldn't withstand such an attack, scattering in pieces instantly.
Swade and his team stood where they were, gaping at the spectacle before them.
The sudden turn of events left them montarily unable to process.
Just then, several figures rushed out from the area they originally entered.
"Who are they?"
