Chapter 117

Now that graduation has arrived, everyone must go their separate ways, and someone suggested forming a final team to enter the Gale Mountain Range one last time.

After obtaining the captain Sun Hao's consent, the group eagerly entered the upper mountain range.

Who would have known...

Only a little over ten days after entering the mountain range, they encountered demons and became trapped here.

Fortunately, their squad's strength was quite good, allowing them to survive until now.

And they have come this far, seeking a method to break out.

Among them, the role played by the captain Sun Hao was irreplaceable.

Therefore, even now that they have reached this dangerous stage.

No one has voiced any complaints; they still follow the arrangements.

Time slowly slipped away; in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed.

When Zhou Yi and the Qingyuan squad's group burst out of the jungle.

A member of the Giant Eagle Team's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said:

"Captain, a team has broken out! Should we follow them?"

His tone carried a hint of excitement.

Although their team's strength was quite good, they still could not deal with the enormous demon legion on the plains.

Therefore, they chose to wait here for the other teams to launch their attacks first before breaking out together.

The wait of over four hours made them lose patience while also making them somewhat doubtful.

Could it be that only their team has broken out to this point?

And now, the appearance of Zhou Yi's group undoubtedly brought them hope of breaking out.

"Don't rush; let's first see how strong they are."

Sun Hao's voice remained steady.

"If their strength is too weak and they cannot even deal with a single demon squad, then there is no need to cooperate to break out."

What they needed was a professional squad capable of cooperating to share the pressure.

"True; let's first see what their levels are."

"One at level 24, one at level 23, three at level 22, and surprisingly, one at level 16..."

"This strength is far too weak; only the level 24 warrior is even worth noticing."

Looking at the information displayed by the Appraisal Technique, the Giant Eagle Team's group was instantly greatly disappointed.

They knew that in their own squad, the lowest level was around 24.

Even so, when breaking out from the jungle side, it was incredibly difficult, and they paid a considerable price.

Now, a six-person team with a maximum level of 24 actually dares to charge out directly; isn't that asking for death?

"Hiss, what are they thinking? At this time, they are still splitting up?"

"That level 16 Paladin must have a broken brain, right?"

"Tsk tsk, you guys boys are indeed creatures that think with your lower halves."

"..."

Watching Zhou Yi, who rode a Gale Wolf alone toward the other side, the Giant Eagle Team could not help but complain.

The black-haired, slender girl surrounded by eight Flame Demons, they had naturally seen long ago, but simply did not intervene.

After all, the opponent's level was too low, and her strength was insufficient.

Even if they saved her, it would expose their own presence and alert the demon legion.

Of course, they also admitted that the surrounded girl's appearance and figure were both absolutely stunning.

However, since they were all professionals walking between life and death, even if her appearance and figure were better, it was impossible to take risks for that reason.

"Don't get distracted; that Paladin might not be with this squad; we mainly need to observe the strength of the other five."

Sun Hao did not look sideways.

Generally speaking, the levels of members in a squad are roughly the same.

Such a large level gap would not appear.

Therefore, that Paladin is likely a member who joined separately midway.

Even if she leaves the squad, it doesn't matter; the other five professionals with levels above 22 are the focus of observation.

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Giant Eagle Squad nodded and fixed their gaze on the five people ahead.

When they saw Su Qinglian instantly kill a Flame Demon with a single sword strike, everyone instantly lost their composure and let out low exclamations.

"Holy crap!! Such high damage!"

"One sword, instant kill! How is this possible!"

"Too powerful! Captain, we have encountered a thigh!"

They knew that demons and magical beasts were completely different species.

Demons of the same level and rank could easily kill dozens of magical beasts of the same level and rank!

Plus that layer of skin as hard as armor, to achieve a one-sword instant kill.

Even if they crushed them by several levels, it would be very difficult to achieve!!

The battle continued; except for Su Qinglian.

The others were also extremely brave, almost to the point of chasing the Flame Demons around!

And after experiencing the initial shock, the Giant Eagle Team's group gradually became puzzled.

Warriors and mages being able to easily kill demons could still be explained as having extraordinary talents.

But you, a ranger summoned by a mechanic, effortlessly carving through demons? That's going too far.

"These demons seem to be afraid of something."

In the team, a girl with shoulder-length hair hesitated to say.

"Indeed, there seems to be something on these people that suppresses demons." Someone nodded in agreement.

"Could the demons be afraid of the blessed holy light the Holy Knight cast before he left...?"

The team's only priest said half-jokingly.

"Don't joke—what kind of blessing can a Level 16 Holy Knight cast?

Just getting a slight boost would be lucky; you expect it to suppress demons of Level 20 or higher? That's pure fantasy!

If it were your blessed holy light, Li Ge, maybe it'd have some effect."

At these words, everyone burst into laughter.

Holy light does suppress demons, but it depends on the person.

High-level Holy Knights—even a mere trace of holy light they accidentally release—can deal heavy damage to demons.

As for low-level Holy Knights, don't even dream of it; just getting a faint suppression effect is already a miracle.

"Look over there—the Level 16 Holy Knight is about to act."

"Where? Where? After waiting so long, finally something entertaining."

"Heh, I wonder if he'll get one-shot."

"Tsk tsk, beautiful girl or not, you can't be this reckless."

Although it was still unclear why Su Qinglian's group was so powerful,

the members of the Giant Eagle Team, now certain of the other side's strength, relaxed slightly and unconsciously turned their gaze toward Zhou Yi.

But the scene that followed left them utterly stunned.

On the back of the swiftly charging Stormwolf, the tall figure radiating divine aura raised his right hand.

A bolt of lightning crashed down, reducing the Flame Demon before the girl to ash!!

"Are you... kidding? That wasn't just a lucky lightning strike, was it?"

The team's priest, Li Jiawen, stared wide-eyed, incredulous.

The remaining members of the Giant Eagle Team also looked stunned, clearly not expecting such a scene.

Zizz!!

Zizz!!
