Chapter 263: Formidable Bird Beast, the Terrified Squad

Jiang Chen looked at this team and could only describe it with one word: chaos.

He didn't know what their grouping standards were; in a 20‑person team there were 8 healers, exceeding the usual standard.

Moreover, all the members were female professionals, making it a Nurse Team.

He never understood back then what use so many healers had.

A team like this only needed four healers, since senior healers can perform group healing.

Four healers would even be enough for a BOSS fight.

Now it seems having many healers does have advantages.

When besieged by over 50 Battlefield Wolves of at least level 61, if there weren't enough healers they would have collapsed long ago.

Jiang Chen noticed a female professional wielding a two‑handed Giant Hammer and asked curiously, "What class is this? She's holding a two‑handed Giant Hammer."

He saw Qiao Zhixin, who was releasing a Group Collect Skill; the skill looked like tiny fireworks and seemed to have little damage.

However, the monsters hated this skill and swarmed to attack her.

Huo Yuyao hadn't expected the situation to turn out like this.

Two points of starlight fell, exploding on both sides of her team, and over 50 Battlefield Wolves instantly surrounded the team.

The 20‑person team was besieged by over 50 Battlefield Wolves, almost caught off guard, but fortunately they later stabilized the situation.

However, the situation was far from optimistic.

The number of Battlefield Wolves was more than double theirs, and their attack power was extremely strong.

Even Level 60 Knights felt the strain, let alone the other classes.

'Hold on, the Rescue Signal has already been sent

, surely someone will come to rescue us!'

Huo Yuyao encouraged everyone, "Sisters, don't give up!"

She gripped her Shield and, together with another Knight in the team, strained to fend off the wolves' attacks.

There were also two Warriors in the team, now acting as meat shields.

The fragile mages, Archers, and support healers were tightly protected in the middle.

Qiao Zhixin swung her Platinum Great Hammer, which was completely at odds with her appearance, and drove back the charging Battlefield Wolves.

Although she wasn't a front‑line class, her strength wasn't inferior to a Warrior; she merely lacked powerful skills.

Suddenly a Warrior beside her was knocked back by a wolf, leaving a gap in the formation.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhixin let out a delicate shout, flung one hand upward, and detonated a burst of light points.

It resembled a small fireworks display.

Skill: Group Collect!

The light points fell like flowers on the eight surrounding wolves, whose eyes flashed Red Light, all turning toward Qiao Zhixin and launching a frenzied assault on her.

Her Collect Skill constantly provoked hatred.

"Heal Zhixin!" Huo Yuyao shouted.

"Healing!" the healer replied urgently.

Qiao Zhixin's body lit up with rays of light, and at least three Healing Techniques landed on her simultaneously.

Jiang Chen watched the scene and muttered, "Looks like the Nurse Team also has the Nurse Team's advantage."

As long as they don't face monsters or BOSS that can one‑shot, the Nurse Team's durability is indeed remarkable.

Jiang Chen watched for a few seconds, realized they were safe, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The worst thing in rescuing is that the rescuer arrives, but the person is already dead.

Wasting effort is the most annoying.

In the midst of the battle, Huo Yuyao suddenly received an invitation, someone inviting them to join Legion Mode.

"Reinforcements have arrived!

!

Huo Yuyao's hope surged instantly, and they accepted the invitation without hesitation.

Legion Mode activated, and they also saw the inviter.

Legion Leader: Jiang Chen, Level 33

In an instant, hope turned into disappointment.

The so‑called reinforcement was only one person.

What use is one person, and they're only Level 33.

Even if they're a super genius capable of challenging out of level, it's still useless.

At this point, they can only keep persisting, hoping someone else will come to rescue them.

Suddenly, they heard a flood of footsteps.

Clack clack rang.

Then the Battlefield Wolves' wails followed, one after another.

The pack of wolves that had been besieging them seemed to change target.

Their pressure suddenly lightened.

Immediately, a brilliance filled their view.

A massive barrage of spells rained down densely, focusing fire on the area they occupied.

Huo Yuyao and the others instantly felt the pressure lift.

All the monsters were taken over by Jiang Chen.

The wolves howled incessantly, one after another being slain.

Ten thousand points of starlight rose into the sky, the scene was extraordinarily beautiful.

"He's so impressive."

"Is he really only level 33?"

"There are so many Summoned Entities, and these Skeletons are so powerful."

"Skeletons should be terrifying, yet some of these Skeletons look cute to me."

Once these women were no longer under a life threat, they instantly relaxed.

Pairs of beautiful eyes glittered; they looked at the Skeletons, then at Jiang Chen, and kept praising.

Huo Yuyao also stopped fighting at this moment.

The fighting stopped, and there were no Battlefield Wolves in front of them any more.

She realized she had once again underestimated Jiang Chen.

He truly had the strength to act alone in the Core Area.

One person, compared to their whole team,

is even more powerful.

Qiao Zhixin slammed the hammer into the ground, panting.

A smile on her pretty face, "Yu Yao Jie, we're saved."

Huo Yuyao also smiled, "Hmm, we're saved."

She looked at Jiang Chen, her gaze filled with gratitude.

"Obtain Star Light Fragment"

"Obtain Star Light Fragment via Collecting Technique"

"Obtain Star Light Fragment"

"Obtain Star Light Fragment via Collecting Technique"

Among the continuously popping messages, a few caught Jiang Chen's attention.

Seeing the three characters 'Collecting Technique', Jiang Chen immediately understood.

And he linked it to the Qiao Zhixin he had seen earlier.

Mythic Tier Profession, Collector Master...

A very rare profession.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a Rare profession," Jiang Chen smiled faintly, but didn't mind.

Under the Undead Legion's slaughter blade, more than 50 Battlefield Wolves were swiftly cleared.

The damage taken wasn't great; fewer than ten Skeleton Warriors died.

With only single‑digit casualties, they eliminated 50 wolf monsters—a very good result.

Huo Yuyao and the others finally relaxed completely.

The battle truly ended.

That was really dangerous earlier; if Jiang Chen hadn't come, they wouldn't have known how long they could have held on.

Huo Yuyao let out a long sigh, sheathed her Long Sword, and thanked Jiang Chen, "Thank you..."

She didn't know how to address Jiang Chen.

Call him Senior Lin? Jiang Chen is only level 33 and so young.

Calling him by name directly seemed a bit impolite.

After thinking, Huo Yuyao said again, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for coming to rescue us."

On the battlefield, the Human Race are all brothers and sisters, so this address is fine.

Her teammates also came over, and said to Jiang Chen

"Thanks."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, "Let's go quickly, this place isn't safe."

"Not safe?"

Huo Yuyao was slightly startled.

"Weren't the wolves already eliminated?"

"There are no monsters nearby, how could it be unsafe?"

Huo Yuyao thought Jiang Chen meant the Core Area was unsafe; a slightly heroic smile appeared on her face, "We were just unlucky this time; we'll be careful in the future."

Obviously, the other side couldn't grasp her meaning.

Jiang Chen originally didn't want to explain further, but for the sake of the Blue Leaf Guild, he spoke again, "I wasn't talking about those..."

Before his words fell, a cry suddenly rang out in the distant sky.

The cry was high‑pitched and sharp, cutting through the heavens.

Even the eternal unchanging light twisted for a moment.

The moment he heard the cry, Jiang Chen's complexion changed dramatically.

He had only heard that call once, yet he would never forget it in his lifetime.

"Run!"

Jiang Chen shouted, and fled violently out of the Core Area.

Huo Yuyao quickly followed, asking hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

"A BOSS has arrived."

Huo Yuyao's complexion also changed drastically.

"Ordinary monsters are already this strong; the BOSS could be deadly."

"Run, run!" Huo Yuyao shouted loudly.

Everyone followed, running together at the fastest speed of their lives.

Jiang Chen was only level 33, the weakest in attributes among the crowd, and ran the slowest.

Before long, he fell to the very end.

Huo Yuyao and the others actually had to slow down to wait for him.

2,200 Skeleton Warriors and 1,100 Skeleton Mages densely shielded everyone in the middle.

Only half a minute after the scream, a colossal black spot had already appeared in the sky.

Among the group, the Archer with the best eyesight let out a scream,

"What a huge bird."

Jiang Chen also turned his head and glanced back, a chill running through his whole body.

Goddamn, what a huge bird— is this a bird?

No, it really is a bird!
