Angelina was a mage. She had used up quite a lot of energy during the battle with the Blazing Lion Gold Beast because she was the main force.
It was fortunate that the Blazing Lion Gold Beast’s ability was of the magic type as it gave Angelina the opportunity to use her superpowers.
Although Angelina’s superpower could target all types of monsters and special abilities, she was not very strong. Therefore, she was unable to absorb the monsters’ abilities in close combat or their purely physical attributes.
However, the team still benefited from her weakness. Angelina’s forte in magic has helped to enhance the magic elements in the team as a whole.
Although Vincent also used magic to attack, he could not fully display his superpower especially when he had just evolved.
Despite his strong combat strength, he still lacked AoE damage.
If Vincent used AoE damage at this stage, it would definitely result in mutual destruction.
He would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
“Found it, but it’s a bit far. The straight-line distance is 1,300 meters, and the curved distance is at least 3,000 meters,” said Vincent. His expression was solemn.
In the past, 3,000 meters was not an issue. However, in the present, it was likely that it would lead everyone to death.
Angelina knew the level of danger if they traveled such a distance. She did not speak.
Vincent’s gaze swept over everyone one by one before finally locking onto Chris.
Chris noticed that Vincent was looking at him. He immediately understood what Vincent meant. He stood up and walked in front of Vincent.
“I know what you want to do. Go do it. I’m here. Even if I die, I will definitely protect everyone until you come back,” said Chris.
Vincent looked at Chris’s determined face and nodded.
“Protect everyone and yourself. It will take me about five minutes to go back and forth. You only need to hold on for 25 minutes,” said Vincent.
Chris nodded.
As the vice-captain of the team, there were times when he needed to shoulder responsibilities that others could not. This was his responsibility as the vice-captain.
Angelina looked at the two of them talking. She was dumbfounded.
What were these two talking about? They did not understand what was going on.
“What are you two talking about? What five minutes? What do you mean by persisting for 25 minutes? Vincent! What are you doing?” asked Angelina.
Vincent looked at Angelina and shook his head slightly. He did not say anything.
“Nabil, you stay here with Chris. If there is a battle, provide Chris with what he needs,” said Vincent.
Although Nabil did not know what Vincent and Chris were talking about, it was obvious that following Chris meant that there was a risk of death. At the very least, it was a much greater risk than following Vincent. Nevertheless, he still nodded and agreed.
Nabil was afraid of death, but he was also very clear that Vincent would not let his teammates die so easily. After spending so much time together, he was certain of Vincent.
After promising Vincent, he proceeded to consume potion to speed up the recovery of his psionic power.
Vincent looked at Avril again and said, “If I remember correctly, you have yet to use your Fury today. Before I return, do not use it unless it is a matter of life or death.”
Avril did not speak much, to begin with. When she heard Vincent’s orders, she just nodded slightly.
After making the arrangements, Vincent walked in front of Swire.
“Vincent, what task do you have for me?” asked Swire.
“Follow me,” said Vincent.
“Ah?”
Swire initially thought that Vincent would ask him to stay. He did not expect Vincent to ask him to leave along with him.
“You have more important things to do.”
Vincent could see through Swire. He knew that he was confused.
He picked him up, spread his Flaming Wings, and flew into the sky towards the direction of the cave.
Everyone present was not stupid. After seeing where Vincent was heading, they immediately understood Vincent’s plan.
Vincent wanted to rely on his own strength to send his companions one by one to the campsite.
Chris was tasked with protecting everyone. He had to protect them even if he had to die in battle.
Of course, if there was actually a battle, everyone would not just stand by and watch.
Less than three minutes after Vincent left, a red-eyed yellow ox rushed out from the bushes. Its two earthy yellow horns were covered in blood and were gleaming in cold light.
It was obvious that it had just gone through a battle.
“Special-class monster, Brute Force Buffalo!” Angelina cried out in surprise.
Although she was not afraid of encountering monsters, she was afraid of encountering a special-class monster. Plus, everyone had not fully recovered. To encounter a special-class monster during this time was a matter of life and death.
The determination in Chris’s eyes grew stronger. He took out a spirit core and transformed into a special-class monster, the Multi-Colored Tiger.
Nabil ate the recovery potion while buffing Chris’s status.
It looked very funny, but no one present could laugh.
Chris’s body was flashing. All of Nabil’s buffs were buffed.
Chris roared and charged towards the Brute Force Buffalo.
He waved his left front claw and a few claw marks appeared in the air. He then flew towards the Brute Force Buffalo.
The Brute Force Buffalo shook its head. The sharp horn on its head collided with Chris’s claw marks and produced a muffled bang.
When the claw marks disappeared, a few white marks appeared on its sharp horn.
The Brute Force Buffalo cried out; its scarlet eyes were filled with anger.
Ever since it upgraded to a special-class monster, the sharp horns on its head had never been attacked in such a manner.
It was greatly humiliated after seeing the white marks.
Its four hooves flew upwards. Whoosh! It soon arrived in front of Chris. The sharp horns rammed into Chris’s eyes.
Chris immediately dodged its attack and began to fight with the Brute Force Buffalo. After about three minutes, Nabil seized the opportunity to use Holy Light Binding to control the Brute Force Buffalo.
At the same time, Avril could no longer lift her mountain-splitting ax. She could only use her psionic pistol and open fire at the Brute Force Buffalo. She was aiming for its eyes.
Angelina did the same. Her superpower had no effect on the Brute Force Buffalo.
One second may seem short, but in a battle, it felt very long. However, for everyone, it was enough to kill the Brute Force Buffalo.
The Brute Force Buffalo’s two eyes were pierced. Blood and white brain matter flowed out of its eyes, and it fell to the ground.
Before everyone could heave a sigh of relief, another special-class monster suddenly appeared. It was the Mandala Snake, and it was about to launch an attack at them.
It opened its mouth wide and was about to bite into Nabil’s neck from the back.
The Mandala Snake had never attacked any target from the front. It was also smart enough to observe and judge situations.
In fact, it had been hiding at the side the whole time. It was watching everyone fight the Brute Force Buffalo. When everyone was relaxed after killing the Brute Force Buffalo, the Mandala Snake seized the opportunity to launch an attack.
In the past, it had always work. However, the Mandala Snake was not as lucky that day.
The Mandala Snake was about to sink its poisonous teeth into Nabil. It could even feel the blood flowing in Nabil’s body.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a gray arrow that was burning with black flames flew down from the sky and struck the head of the Mandala Snake, nailing it to the ground.
