54 Chapter 54

After leaving the Bernard manor, the eight teams scattered and acted separately.

“I will observe you in the dark and help whenever necessary, but only to prevent you from dying,”

After saying that, Director Nicholas waved his hand and disappeared using the concealing magic.

Andrew and Nason looked at each other.

For some reason, after the mission began, the two of them had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.

That was, they didn’t want to lose to their opponent.

The other teams left after discussing the countermeasures.

For example, where to attack, or how to avoid meeting other teams.

Because this commission was too difficult, no one dared to act rashly.

In addition, there were too many rewards. No one was willing to act with other teams in case of the rewards were divided up.

But after a brief discussion, Andrew and Nason came to a completely different conclusion.

That was having a breakthrough face to face.

Moonlight Lake District: Artemis lake.

Under the moonlight, the fluorescent seaweed gave out faint blue light, converging into a blue glow band on the clear Artemis lake.

The scene was as beautiful as the Milky Way.

Andrew and Nason walked along the bank of the lake towards the griffin habitat as indicated on the map.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

Under the night, the cries of vulture birds came from afar.

Andrew and Nason hurried to the woods nearby.

Through the strengthening of their eyesight, the two of them easily saw the messy lair of the griffin along the coast a kilometer away.

To make the environment more suitable for their living, the griffin group dug the land along the bank into pieces.

A large area of the forest collapsed, and mud was everywhere.

The whole area was as dilapidated as if it had been bombarded by a bomber.

At the edge of the area, two or three young griffins were playing with each other.

It was a giant monster with a lion’s head and wings on its back.

Even if it was a young body, it was five or six meters tall and almost two floors high.

The habitat stretched out, and thirty or forty adult griffins crawled in the nest of wood chips to breastfeed or lazily yawned.

Among them, three or four of them even stood guard at the edge of the habitat.

Each adult griffin was twenty meters tall, and its size was equivalent to a six-story residential building.

The habitat of the griffin was 1/3 of the size of a small town along the shore, covering an area of more than three thousand acres.

Griffins preferred to live in places with clear water, and their residence would cause irreversible damage to the water.

They usually wouldn’t live in a place for more than two years.

When they left, the water would have been completely contaminated by the sulfur in their excrement.

According to the commission, this group of griffins had only moved here for two months, and the damage to the Artemis lake had begun to show.

The air was full of the stench of sulfur.

The huge Artemis lake was still clear, but the water had a little sour.

This was Andrew’s home.

Artemis lake was Andrew’s favorite place to play when he was a child.

It was quiet here. The air was fresh. Sitting by the river in the evening, looking at the setting sun, he felt that his heart would be quiet.

He didn’t expect it to be destroyed like this.

A sentry griffin suddenly found something and turned around.

Andrew and Nason drew back their heads in a hurry.

The griffin could also use magic.

They were born to use this basic magic to strengthen their vision.

Besides, their wings were not decorations but can fly.

The strong adult griffin could easily fly at a semi-sound speed.

It would be bad if they were found at such a long distance.

“What should we do now?” Andrew asked Nason next to him, “If we get closer at this distance, we will be found. Griffins will be hiding.”

“We are not assassinating mages. With our bad hiding skill, we will be found if we continue to move forward.”

Nason thought for a while and said calmly, “Let’s move forward along the forest. As long as we don’t make any noise, we can at least get close to five hundred meters.”

Andrew looked at the thick forest and shook his head. “There is too much grass. It’s difficult not to make a sound.”

The two fell into silence.

Now the only way was to wait for other teams to attack and then get close to the habitat.

But on second thought, most of the other teams thought the same, so they didn’t make any move until now.

However, at this moment.

“How about we cooperate?” A familiar voice came from the dark jungle nearby.

Andrew and Nason were taken aback and hurried to prepare to fight.

But when they looked carefully.

It was none other than Signa out of the darkness.

Her four teammates also came out of the darkness one by one.

Including Taylor.

Andrew was shocked.

No wonder she was an assassinated mage.

The reason why he saw through her trace at the school last time was that it was daytime at that time.

At night, the hiding ability of the assassinating mage would be improved several times. As a result, even Andrew and Nason didn’t find her since Signa had come to their side.

She could even hide with her teammates.

There was still a typical smile on Signa’s face.

She approached Andrew with a bright red face and watery eyes shining like gemstones in the moonlight.

“Let me help you. My concealing magic can cover you so that you can get close to the nest within two hundred meters.”

Two hundred meters?

If he could launch an attack from this distance, Andrew was confident that he could reap a lot.

But Andrew didn’t let his guard down.

“Why do you help me?”

With her lips pouted, Signa said sheepishly, “No team dares to make the first move now. If you are willing to stand out, as a helper, I can naturally get the first share.”

“What’s more… “

As Signa said, she leaned on Andrew’s shoulder and said, “I didn’t investigate it last time, so I attacked you. I’m sorry for my fault.”

Andrew was stunned.

She still remembered that?

But Andrew felt something different.

Taylor was looking at him sadly.

“Ahem.”

Andrew quickly stepped back and said, “Don’t you mind the thing about Kaleb?”

When Signa heard this, her expression became complicated.

“It’s a lie that I don’t mind. I like this brother very much. After all, among the six brothers and sisters, only he is good to me.”

“But after I investigated, I found that he had done a lot of wrong things. Many people died because of him. One of my best friends in grade one was also raped and committed suicide.”

“That’s my best friend.”

“To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about my brother now.”

“You are right.”

After confirming this, Andrew felt relieved to some extent.

At least now he was sure that the change in her attitude was not to get close to him and plot against him.

In that case, they could cooperate.

Thinking of this, Andrew said to Nason, “The closer the distance is, the worse the anti-concealment effect will be. The number of people will also affect the concealment effect within the range.”

“Signa and I tried our best to get as close to the griffin habitat as possible, and I launched my first attack.”

“You just wait here. My first blow will release my most powerful magic, trying to weaken griffins to the greatest extent.”

“You’d better play it by ear and rush over to help me as soon as we fight.”

“Okay.”

Nason nodded and gathered his strength.

In this way, Andrew’s team was separated from that of Signa.

Led by Andrew and Signa, they continued to move towards the griffin habitat.
