Hearing the sudden faint screams, Leo Ray and his group standing on the other side of the brook, along with Solomon and Sylvia, couldn’t help but show their surprise on their faces.
Soon after, Taylor lowered his body and whispered to Leo Ray, “My Lord, after a detailed observation by your humble servant, the aura within the cave is extremely chaotic, indicating that a considerable number of people are inside.
Moreover, the vast majority of them are no different from ordinary people at the Tier 1 level, but due to the twists and turns inside the cave and the weak and complex auras of these people.”
Therefore, your humble servant is temporarily unable to determine the exact number and what exactly they have encountered.”
“Understood.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray rubbed his chin and thoughtfully said, “At this time, it’s unlikely that the people in this remote cave deep in the mountains are residents of Golin City.
It seems that few peace-loving lords did not abide by the agreement of one-on-one combat but went directly to explore.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Hearing this, Sylvia paused, and then a suddenly enlightened expression appeared on her fair and pretty face, “No wonder they set the time at 7 0’clock in the evening.
It must be that they planned to return early to prepare tools and then arrive here ahead of time.
Before we arrived, they would have fully explored this place and then made their escape.
After all, even though the opposing side was stronger at the time, we were not pushovers either.
If a fight started, they would have probably suffered heavy losses.”
“My sister is right. I always thought those guys were quite cunning, but I didn’t expect them to be this cunning.”
Hearing this, Solomon Rue pursed his lips and shook his head, “Fortunately, we didn’t agree to explore this place together with them, or the two of us might have been used as their pawns.”
After listening to their conversation, Leo Ray shrugged indifferently.
In any case, his goal for this trip was very clear—it was the treasure deep within the cave.
As for other matters, they naturally had nothing to do with him. The only difference was that the process was slightly varied.
“My Lord, those people have started to flee.”
On the other side, Taylor’s coarse voice sounded as he bowed and reported once again.
“Let’s go and have a look then.”
Having said that, Leo Ray skillfully drew a strand of pure energy from the energy vortex within his abdomen and completely covered his feet with it.
He then walked directly on the water as if he was on flat ground, easily crossing the several-meter-wide stream, only leaving shallow ripples on the surface of the water.
At the same time, the other powerful subordinates beside Leo Ray also made the same move, effortlessly walking across the water without getting wet.
“Walking… walking on water?!”
Seeing this scene, Solomon and Sylvia, who were preparing to wade across the stream while they were taking off their shoes and rolling up their trouser legs, couldn’t help but exchange glances again.
Without a doubt, the unintentional actions of Master Leo and his group had once again refreshed their worldview.
In this manner, they came directly to the thicket where the hidden cave was located.
They saw Bianca White, who was standing beside Leo Ray, bend down, lay on the ground and began sniffing around the cave.
Due to the Illusion Cloak worn by the werewolf girl, she appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary human villager.
Her actions left Solomon and Sylvia puzzled once more, their faces filled with confusion.
A moment later, Bianca White stood up, dusted off the dust on her body, and then returned to Leo Ray’s side and respectfully said, ‘My Lord, this should be the nest of the Sharp-Blade Land Beasts.””So it’s that kind of magical beast.”
Upon hearing this, Joshua Bingaman, who had just landed, gathered a strand of his loose hair and tucked it back into the hood of his illusion cloak.
He then thoughtfully commented, “This Tier 2 Magical Beast has bone plates that resemble sharp blades on its back, and it’s quite aggressive and lives in groups.”
“Its favorite pastime is to dig winding and twisting caves, disguising them as regular mountain caves. This attracts other magical beasts who seek refuge there and end up caught in their trap.”
“It seems that this time, they attracted not demon beasts, but a group of overconfident fellows. ”
Hearing this, Leo Ray chuckled and responded.
“Lord, we can now confirm that behind those people running out, there are five magical beasts with strengths ranging from Tier 2 one-star to three-star. These must be the sharp-blade land beasts that chased them here,” Taylor reported to Leo Ray from the cave entrance.
“Well, let’s take out those magical beasts at the entrance so that we don’t have to bother going in,” Leo Ray said with a casual wave of his hand, signaling his team to prepare themselves for the battle.
Hearing this, siblings Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore couldn’t help but swallow nervously and take a few steps back.
They knew that even when facing a single Tier-Second magical beast, without a dozen or two subordinates, they would never dare to approach it, let alone five of them appearing all at once.
That said, if it were any other Lord who displayed Leo Ray’s calm and dismissive attitude, the sibling duo would have scoffed at them.
However, they were among the few lords who had seen Leo Ray’s terrifying power firsthand.
As a result, the siblings even felt that Master Leo’s demeanor was exceptionally modest and approachable!
Soon enough, the sound of frantic, rushing footsteps filled their ears.
As the sounds grew louder, a large group of people appeared in the spacious depths of the cave, holding torches and running wildly.
Under the flickering firelight, Leo Ray squinted his eyes to see the figures within the cave.
The three people running in the front were two young men and a woman, all with panic-stricken faces – the young Lords.
While running, the trio noticed the silvery moonlight penetrating the cave entrance.
Gasping for breath, the three Lords couldn’t help but show a hint of delight on their faces.
However, when they spotted the calm and composed Leo Ray and their powerful teammates, their expressions turned to astonishment.
Since everyone in their group was clad in illusion cloaks, they appeared as ordinary villagers to the trio.
Leo Ray had only removed the hooded cap of his illusion cloak, still dressed in plain, ordinary attire.
“Run quickly, there are magical beasts behind us!” the female Lord, who appeared to be in her mid-twenties, blurted out first.
A moment later, upon seeing that Leo Ray hadn’t reacted, the astonishment on the trio’s faces deepened. Could it be that this unfamiliar male Lord, with only a few people accompanying him, intended to fight against the magical beasts? Were they seriously overestimating their abilities?
After all, they, as a group of three, had brought fifty people along and still almost lost their lives.
Shocked by this revelation, the trio’s faces revealed an expression of disdain once more.
If he didn’t heed their warnings, then let this guy find out just how terrifying these magical beasts could be.
However, what happened next left the trio completely dumbfounded..
