Chapter 873: I’ll Handle This Stitched Abomination
However, Chris also knew that Robb could resist charm and even make succubi fall in love with him. The current situation was still unclear, and it was impossible to determine whether it was strength or weakness. Well, in the absence of clarity, one shouldnt assume his strength to be too great.
Chris approached Robb, whispering, How about teaming up with me? I have more experience with adventures, and Im better at handling sudden problems. If youre in my team, there shouldnt be any major mishaps.
Uh, but Robb hesitated, I want to look after my two female teammates in my party, worried they might face danger.
Chris smirked, Are they looking after you, or are you looking after them?
After careful consideration, Robb responded, Um, its probably mutual care.
Chris thought to himself, [Is that just to save face? In your team, the strongest one should be the female assassin. You probably feel safer being with her.]
Nevertheless, Chris decided not to nitpick about such minor matters. For new adventurers, its quite normal to want to team up with the strongest member. He thought for a moment and proposed, How about this? We have a total of ten people, three of whom are ladies. Among these three, two are magic users, making them susceptible to ambushes. Lets have a larger group for the ladies. You and the three female adventurers will form a team: an assassin, a priest, and two magicians, making a total of four. The remaining six men will pair up into three teams.
This arrangement seemed reasonable given the premise that Robb is a new adventurer. Having more members in the female team would make it safer.
Surprisingly, Robb couldnt find any reason to object, and truth be told, he didnt want to oppose it either. Teaming up with girls sounded more fun.
So, everyone organized into groups and began to sleep and rest.
First, Chris and Jike stood guard for two hours while the others slept.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
Next were Gorda and the hunter, followed by the priest and the assassin.
Finally, it was Robb, Suofa, Xuelu, and the Fire Magicians turn.
The four sat at the cave entrance, gazing at the world of rifts glowing with crimson light outside.
The Fire Magician murmured, Hopefully, it wont come our way.
Suofa and Xuelu remained relatively calm, not saying a word. With Robb around, they feared nothing.
Robb couldnt help but ask, And if it does come our way?
The Fire Magician replied in hushed tones, It would detect us, and wed have to engage in a fierce battle. This isnt an easy foe to deal with. The combat would be loud and draw more monsters near, particularly in this vicinity close to the Demon Kings city. It would be quite perilous. So, its best to avoid a fight if we can.
Robb said, Oh, I see. So, if Suofa sneaks up behind it and stabs it with a dagger, wouldnt it be taken care of silently?
Stab a Stitched Abomination to death with just one hit? Youre being overly optimistic, the Fire Magician shook her head. With our strength, its not feasible. Once a fight starts, it will inevitably escalate into a large-scale battle.
Oh, alright! Robb had no choice but to feign agreement, saying, Lets hope it doesnt come over and just stays away.
However, events in this world tend to develop in the most inconvenient directions. The things you wish to avoid often end up happening.
The disgusting sound of the Stitched Abominations drooling and panting grew closer. Clearly, it was approaching in the direction where everyone was.
The Fire Magician couldnt help but feel nervous
Robb, on the other hand, muttered in a sarcastic tone, Dont come here, please!
Neither nervousness nor sarcasm proved effective. The sound quickly approached to a distance of less than fifty yards from the group. At this point, the likelihood of being noticed was quite high, as the Stitched Abomination could easily detect the scent of humans.
The Fire Magician whispered, No choice now, we have to wake everyone up and prepare for battle.
She was about to turn and call Chris when Robb suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered, Theyve had a tiring day. Let them rest properly. Ill handle this Stitched Abomination.
