Chapter 116: Level 26 Knight

The Wildwind Mountains are vast, with numerous professionals entering and exiting daily.

Most teams consist of first-tier practitioners ranging from level 15 to 30.

Their activity zones are primarily along the mountain's periphery.

This activity zone naturally includes the area near the Dark Miasma Valley.

Therefore, besides Zhou Yi and the Qingyuan Squad,

there are actually quite a few teams stationed in the nearby jungle of the Dark Miasma Valley.

After the Flame Demons appeared, many human practitioner teams perished at their hands.

But similarly powerful teams, like the Qingyuan Squad, managed to break out and hide along the jungle's edge.

Among these hidden teams, there was a six-member squad from Ning'an University City called "Giant Eagle."

Unlike the Qingyuan Squad's damage-focused composition, this team's lineup was highly balanced.

Composed of a mage, priest, warrior, knight, mechanist, and martial artist.

All team members were young, around 22 or 23 years old.

Yet despite their youth, their experience was remarkably seasoned.

Their bodies were tightly concealed within tall shrubbery, with only their eyes peering through the gaps.

"Captain, we've been waiting here for nearly four hours—when will we prepare to break out?"

One of the team members asked quietly.

"Wait a bit longer—we have no way to handle this many '883' demons alone."

"Wait until another team makes the first move, then follow them."

Sun Hao, captain of the Giant Eagle Squad, was a knight at level 26.

From head to toe, he was shrouded in heavy armor.

The voice emerging from within was deep and resonant, rumbling.

Before him lay a massive shield, as large as a door!!

The shield's surface was engraved with intricate, arcane runes—dark and mysterious, exuding an overwhelming sense of weight.

"Understood."

The member who had spoken nodded and fell silent.

They were all students from Qingyuan University, one of the five major universities in Ning'an University City.

More precisely, they were graduates.

Their graduation ceremony had only recently taken place.

The Giant Eagle Squad was also the team they formed while still in school.
