Chapter 235: Humanoid Danger Beast Sighted

"Leone, I heard you went to scout information on that mansion a while ago; how did it go?" In the Night Raid base, Najenda asked Leone.

Bringing up this matter, Leone couldn't help but bite her lip: "To be honest, I didn't even dare to get close to that mansion. Although I was only watching from afar, my intuition was warning me frantically that that place is even more dangerous than the Imperial Palace; I even had the feeling that once I stepped inside, I would never be able to come out. Moreover, Esdeath and the other two go there every night, which makes our rescue operation almost impossible to execute."

"Then there's no help for it; the rescue of Chelsea can only be postponed for now." Najenda rubbed her brow with some headache. "What I want to talk about now is another matter. Near the Imperial Capital, a new type of Danger Beast has appeared, and quite a few people and livestock have already been harmed. Although the Jaegers and the Imperial Army have already gone to suppress them, the results haven't been very good. It is said that one member of the Jaegers was even injured, and the Imperial Army has also suffered quite a few losses!" Najenda said.

"Are you kidding? Even a Teigu User was injured? Are those Danger Beasts that powerful?" Lubbock's tone held some disbelief.

"Although this matter sounds impossible, the facts are indeed so. It is said that at the beginning, these new types of Danger Beasts were still weak, but as time passed, they became more and more powerful. A portion of them even reached the strength of a Teigu User, and even vaguely possessed some of the regenerative abilities of a Biological Teigu!" Najenda's tone was somewhat grave. "Bringing this up here sounds like I'm helping the Empire, but you don't have any objections, right?"

"Rest assured, leave it to me. After all, who we are helping are those innocent civilians, not the Empire!" Tatsumi patted his own chest.

"The people from the Jaegers were injured, so it shouldn't be their trap. Given Esdeath's personality of caring for her subordinates, she would absolutely not do such a thing to lure us from Night Raid out," Bulat said.

"Then let's set off. We must eliminate these Danger Beasts as soon as possible. After all, for every day they exist, innocent civilians will be under threat for one more day!" Najenda stood up and said.

In a dense forest outside the Imperial Capital, Lingyun spoke to Sayo and Ieyasu standing before him: "This time, the rampaging of Danger Beasts around the Imperial Capital is also an excellent opportunity for your training. Let me see the results of your cultivation during this period!"

"Yes, I will not let you down, Young Master!" Ieyasu waved his hand.

Sayo, on the side, just smiled and quietly tightened her grip on the long bow in her hand.

"Ling-jun, this rampaging of Danger Beasts this time doesn't seem as simple as it looks. After all, in the original story, these Danger Beasts were not powerful to this extent at all!" Saeko Busujima, who was beside Lingyun, transmitted her voice to Lingyun.

"Nine times out of ten, that's the case!" Lingyun nodded slightly. "Otherwise, there is no way to explain why these Danger Beasts would actually evolve, and evolve so absurdly."

"By the way, you left Chelsea, that little cat, alone at home; will anything happen?" Saeko Busujima asked.

"If she is smart enough, she won't stir up any trouble on her own. After all, she really is just an ordinary little cat right now!" Lingyun said meaningfully.

"Hee hee hee, Chelsea really had bad luck running into you, Ling-jun!" Saeko Busujima said with a smile.

"Who told her to dare to come and assassinate me? I really can't do without giving her a little warning!" Lingyun said.

Suddenly, Lingyun turned his head in another direction: "The enemy is here!"

Lingyun's voice had just fallen when, hearing a whistle, several Humanoid Danger Beasts darted out from the forest and pounced toward the people present. Sayo instantly nocked a sharp arrow onto her bow and blasted the one in the lead away. Ieyasu had his long sword in hand and likewise slashed one Danger Beast away with a single strike. Saeko Busujima pressed her hand onto her Samurai Sword, and then one could see several cold glints flash before her; the remaining Danger Beasts on the scene were instantly torn to pieces.

"Is this Miss Saeko Busujima's Drawing Sword Technique? It's really so fast that you can't see it at all! If I used it, it would definitely be very cool, wouldn't it, Sayo?" Ieyasu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Ieyasu, stop thinking about learning this kind of high-level martial art all day long. I think you'd better just honestly take your sword and hack away. Someone like you isn't suited for this kind of martial art!" Sayo struck back without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, I know!" Ieyasu replied with a perfunctory look, while simultaneously hacking down a Danger Beast that was climbing up from the ground with one sword strike. "However, this kind of Danger Beast is really troublesome. I've already used eighty percent of my strength, and I still couldn't manage a one-hit kill."

"Roar!" A low roar came from the jungle. The large tree in front of Lingyun and the others suddenly flew up, and a tall Humanoid Danger Beast appeared before everyone. Behind it was a large group of Danger Beasts two to three meters tall.

"Charge!" Seeing so many opponents appear, Ieyasu couldn't help but lick his lips, gripped his sword, and charged straight up. When he was at Lingyun's house, he was either being suppressed or beaten up, and he had long been holding a belly full of fire. Now that there was a large group of guys in front of him to let him vent, this guy became excited all of a sudden.

"Don't charge so fast!" Sayo reminded him, then drew her long bow and began to support Ieyasu.

"We'll go look elsewhere. Leave the Danger Beasts here to you two; pay attention to your own safety!" Lingyun gave the two of them a word of caution, then left this place with Saeko Busujima. Although there were quite a few Humanoid Danger Beasts here, with the current strength of Sayo and the other, they could still handle it. Moreover, he had already left protective measures on the two of them, sufficient to ensure their lives were safe.

"There seems to be a powerful Danger Beast over there!" Lingyun released his perception and instantly captured a powerful aura.

Lingyun and the other soon appeared in front of this Danger Beast. Around this Danger Beast lay a ground full of corpses. Judging by the uniforms on them, they were likely the Imperial Army that had come to subjugate the Danger Beast, but unfortunately, they had been wiped out by this Danger Beast instead.

"It has already reached the strength of a Special Grade Danger Beast; no wonder the Imperial Army here was wiped out!" Lingyun's gaze landed on this massive Humanoid Danger Beast.

"There are scorch marks in this vicinity, but the soldiers here didn't have large-scale fire equipment; instead, they have burn injuries on their bodies. Could it be that this guy can use fire?" Saeko Busujima said, looking at the big guy in front of her.

"Hoo—" Seeing Lingyun and the other appear before it, this giant Danger Beast suddenly opened its mouth, and scorching flames sprayed out from its mouth, rushing straight at Lingyun and the other.

Facing the scorching flames rushing toward them, Lingyun waved one hand, and a gust of wind swept out, instantly scattering all the flames.

"It actually evolved to this extent?" Saeko Busujima's brows furrowed slightly. Several sword auras blasted onto this Danger Beast, but only several huge wounds appeared on its body, and it was still rapidly repairing itself. "No wonder that Teigu User was injured at the hands of these Danger Beasts. If one hadn't known about it beforehand, one would definitely suffer a great loss!"

"Behind these guys, there should be a most powerful leader. Let's finish this guy off first, then go find their leader!" Lingyun said.

"Good!" Saeko Busujima nodded slightly. The Samurai Sword in her hand transformed into a sheet of blade light, instantly mincing this Danger Beast into fragments.

"Let's go, we'll chase after it!" The moment the Danger Beast turned into fragments, Lingyun rapidly unleashed his Divine Sense, captured those wisps of gray-white airflow, and utilized his movement technique to chase after it.

Saeko Busujima followed closely behind Lingyun, and the two of them, one after the other, soon disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
