Chapter 653 The Strange Rat of the Forest
Just as Lin Tian was engaged in a fierce battle with the Big Tooth Monster King, a strange storm was also sweeping through the Titia Forest outside.
Deep in the forest, in response to the call of the Adventurers' Guild, the members of the Red Fox Adventurer Group are engaged in a fierce battle with a group of monsters, one of the most common monsters in the forest: the Monster Rat!
"Anker!!!"
*Pfft!*
With a loud shout, the leader of the Red Fox Adventurer Group witnessed his member Anke being knocked to the ground by a swift rat assassin.
Using the complex terrain, the swift rat assassin sneaked up to Anke and plunged his blood rat claws deep into him.
Anke is a Silver-tier support class with decent talent. Thanks to the advantages of the times, he recently reached Silver One Star and joined their adventure team.
Due to his limited combat experience, Anker was less aware of the dangers around him, and coupled with the chaos of the battlefield, he was even less likely to notice the Swift Rat's infiltration.
His non-combatant status meant his physical strength wasn't very high, and the Swift Rat was good at ambushes, so it easily pierced his neck.
Even though the young man reacted and knocked the Swift Mouse away, he was too badly injured and collapsed to the ground.
In a dangerous place like the battlefield, falling down could very well mean losing your life.
The moment Anke fell, several red-eyed Ratman warriors suddenly appeared around him, pouncing forward as if they wanted to kill him.
At the critical moment, Red Fox, the captain of the Red Fox Adventurer Group, reacted quickly and unleashed a crescent-shaped sword aura slash, instantly killing the onrushing Ratman warriors!
tread!!
After briefly repelling the Ratman, Red Fox didn't stand there dumbfounded. Instead, she used her combat skill, Gale Step, to quickly rush in front of Anke and then picked up the fallen young man.
"Retreat to that open space over there, don't fight in the forest!"
Red Fox's gruff voice echoed in the ears of all the team members. The Red Fox Adventure Team consisted of only seven people. As a B-rank adventure team, they followed an elite route. Almost every member had at least the strength of a Silver-rank one-star and rich combat experience.
Therefore, the moment Red Fox gave the order, the team members acted very quickly, and in just a few breaths, they had already retreated to that small open space.
"Treatment, treatment!"
Every adventure party has a healer, and the Red Fox Adventure Party is no exception. Although they are not as powerful as the priests of the Holy Light Church, they still know a few simple healing spells.
Anke was seriously injured. The team's healers could only keep him alive temporarily, but it was basically impossible for him to regain his fighting ability in a short period of time.
However, the Red Fox Adventurer Group doesn't have time to treat Anke's injuries right now; they're too busy taking care of themselves.
Although retreating to open ground effectively prevented them from being attacked by those strange rats, their crisis was not over.
The red fox could see that after they retreated here, the strange rats around them did not give up their attacks; on the contrary, their numbers increased.
In just a short time, he could feel hundreds of eyes filled with murderous intent staring at them, including many powerful individuals.
Damn it! How could this happen?!
Red Fox cursed these monsters in his heart, for this operation had completely exceeded their capabilities.
Actually, they didn't come out alone. After all, the Forest of Titia has become increasingly dangerous recently, so these adventure groups usually go out in groups of several people.
However, due to the recent attack by a horde of monsters, they were separated from several other groups. Now, let alone finding them, it's not even certain whether they are still alive.
Just as Red Fox was pondering what to do, the swarm of rats that had gathered together began to attack them. A large number of strange rats rushed towards their position, and for a time they could only do their best to resist.
However, the strength of this rat swarm still exceeded their expectations. In addition to countless mad rat warriors and swift rat assassins, there were also large units mixed in with the rat swarm.
Boom! ! ! !
Boom! ! ! !
Several tall figures emerged from the woods. These giant rats, each five meters long and with robust builds, were the largest units in the rat swarm and the last thing adventurers wanted to see among them.
boom! ! ! !
With just one heavy punch, he nearly knocked the shieldbearer of their team to his knees. Several giant rats charged at the same time, and even he, who was usually extremely confident, couldn't help but turn pale.
"Get away!!!"
Seeing his companion in danger, Red Fox shouted and used his signature move, Crescent Moon Spin, once again. This time, he put in even more power, slashing out three crescent moons at the attacking giant rats.
As the strongest member of the adventurer team, Red Fox is the only one in the current battle who has the time to help others, as everyone else is struggling to survive, let alone help others.
In such a large-scale melee, teamwork is especially important, but it is also more difficult to execute. Various variables put the Red Fox Adventurer Group at a disadvantage as the battle progressed. In the end, their living space was reduced to a very small area, and they had almost no chance of escaping.
“You bastards!!!”
Red Fox let out a roar of unwilling anger, but what followed was an overwhelming despair. His team members were already covered in wounds and had no chance of withstanding the monsters' attacks. Before long, they would be devoured by the monsters and wiped out.
Heh heh heh!!!
A giant rat approached him, and upon seeing the wounded red fox, it immediately smiled sinisterly, though the smile also carried a hint of anger.
In the battle just now, the Red Fox almost seriously injured and killed him. If he hadn't reacted in time and used another companion to take the fall, he would probably be dead by now.
But that doesn't matter anymore. This weak human is now in my hands, and I'm going to torture him to death, skin him alive, eat his flesh, and not even spare his bones!
Jie Jie Jie! !
Poor humans, blame your own weakness!
Uh-huh! ! ! !
With a ferocious expression, the giant rat swung its paw down, and the red fox knew that for it in its current state, this blow would be fatal.
Dying?
In the last second before his death, Red Fox's eyes suddenly turned extremely fierce. He gripped the sword in his hand, seemingly wanting to use his final Crescent Moon Spin.
But just as he was about to make his move, a figure clad in armor appeared in front of him as if by magic.
"I come!"
A young and captivating voice rang in his ears, and the next moment...
boom! ! ! ! ! !
