1339 Fang Beast 1
The campsite, which was already extremely quiet due to the depressing atmosphere, soon became even quieter because of the faint smell in the wind.
Raymond turned his head and looked in the direction of a giant oak with a companion tree. The trunk that should have been straight became twisted and deformed because of the existence of the companion tree. The trunks of the two trees were like the arms of a desperate dead person.
Crystal, who had been leaning on Raymond's side waiting for dinner, turned her face because of his body rotation. However, before Raymond could see clearly what the existence in the shadow looked like, the hands holding his arms tightened, making Raymond realize that she was a little scared.
Raymond stretched out his right hand and patted the back of Crystal's hand to comfort her, and then turned his face to face the direction of the giant oak. After his eyes were raised up along the trunk for more than ten meters, he found the black shadow hidden in the branches and the pupils shining with green light!
The tooth beast approaching the transformation stage is fierce and powerful. Raymond, who retrieved the "Surface Plane Magical Beast Atlas" in the chip for inspection, soon let out a light exclamation.
Because according to the description in the atlas, the tooth beasts entering the transformation stage should not show up in the outside world, because they are the weakest at this time. Not only can they not exert their true strength, but any trauma they suffer will become a hidden disease in their life and is difficult to cure.
It seems that this tooth beast squatting on the first big branch of the giant oak tree has been watching the camping site dozens of meters away without taking any action, which makes Raymond very confused.
Since it has stolen some precious resources from the Fierce Beast Alliance, this tooth beast, which should be quite intelligent, should flee quickly. Instead of staying on the periphery of this Qinghaze Forest waiting to be surrounded and blocked.
It's a bit strange...
Thinking so in his heart, Raymond no longer had the previous vigilance when he turned his gaze to the pair of green eyes, so after carefully observing the eyes. It seemed that the fang beast was afraid of the campsite and was crouching on the tree branch because of indecision.
It was just because the campsite was in the downwind of the night wind, so even if many adventurers in the campsite could not find the fang beast, they all knew that the fang beast wanted by the Fierce Beast Alliance was approaching here.
Crystal, who was leaning against Raymond, had calmed down under Raymond's comfort, and Shariman, who was concentrating on grilling skewers, was too lazy to turn around and pay attention to the fang beast because it did not pose a threat to it.
Only old Mike, who was facing the forest, had a pale face. There were beads of sweat on his temples, but because Raymond did not take any action, he had to sit there honestly and motionless.
This stalemate lasted for a long time. When Shariman brought the grilled skewers to Crystal, the little fellow who had just enjoyed a sumptuous meal during the day no longer paid attention to the tusk beast in the forest. He picked up the sizzling skewers with one hand and began to feast on them!
But just as Crystal began to enjoy them. The pupils of the tusk beast suddenly shrank. Then it jumped down from the tree branch, avoiding Raymond and others' tents like a gust of wind, and jumped in from the south side of the camp!
The adventurers gathered in the center of the campsite screamed and scattered immediately, leaving the area illuminated by the bonfire in the center of the campsite.
Raymond, who was sitting at the outermost edge of the campsite, could see the whole appearance of the tusk beast at this time, but what happened next surprised him!
The tusk beast, which was dark as a black panther, actually had a very beautiful and soft long hair, and the four iconic fangs on the side of its mouth. It looked like it was cut off at the root, making its originally ferocious image become particularly funny!
It was more than five meters long. The long tail like a steel whip was not attached to its back as described in the illustration, but drooped behind it as if it was injured.
Raymond could see that the fang beast was injured from such a distance, and those adventurers who were scared away before naturally noticed it.
It was not known whether it was because the reward offered by the Fierce Beast Alliance was extremely high, or whether there were adventurers in the camp who were extremely confident in their own strength. Before the fang beast approached the grill next to the campfire, a fire snake suddenly appeared on the ground behind it, clinging to the ground very cleverly and suddenly jumped up when it approached the tail of the fang beast, as if it was ready to trap it!
Raymond, who was grabbing a skewer of barbecue and preparing to put it in his mouth, felt his left arm lighten and then he jumped up immediately!
Because Crystal, who was holding his left arm, let go without saying a word and ran towards the center of the campsite!
Raymond appeared beside Crystal with a slight shake of his body. Although it was unclear what she was going to do, she was heading straight for the fang beast, and she raised her hands and waved them crosswise, as if she wanted to express something.
Raymond was very discouraged because he could not communicate directly with Crystal. While calling out the girl Becky in the picture of the girl by the stream, he released his perception to cover the entire campsite and explored outside the campsite, fearing that Crystal would be exposed to any risks!
While Crystal was charging forward, the fire snake that attacked quietly had already tied up the back half of the fang beast tightly, and the two sturdy men who rushed out from the direction of the fire snake also used their shoulders to support the huge tower shield to establish the first line of defense, protecting the wizard who released the fire snake from the darkness.
The fang beast bound by the scorching fire snake shone with the luster of the innate force field, but it only made a whining sound, turned around and desperately scratched the bound fire snake with its front claws to get out of trouble, but did not take any counterattack measures.
"Catch it! Catch it! This tooth beast is not a high-level magic beast at all..."
"Go! Go! Deploy the attack formation, don't let it run away..."
"The Iron Shield Mercenary Group is here, anyone who dares to fight for it will be killed without mercy..."
The campsite, which had been in panic before, was suddenly in an uproar. All kinds of shouts, roars, and threatening words came from everywhere, and those adventurers who had just retreated to a distance also rushed up one after another, and became fanatical as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
But Raymond, who was rushing forward with Crystal, felt his heart sink, because Crystal, who was running all the way, actually passed through the gap between the crowd after approaching the center of the campsite, and rushed straight towards the tooth beast with his hands open as if to hug!
Raymond, who didn't understand what was going on, jumped up and released the pressure field at the moment when Crystal was about to approach the tooth beast, covering the entire central area illuminated by the bonfire!
The overwhelming and irresistible pressure made all creatures except Crystal feel like they were imprisoned and unable to move.
The struggling tooth beast instantly fell to the ground stiffly, and the fire snake that bound it naturally cut off the connection with the releaser due to Raymond's pressure, and completely dissipated with a puff.
Suppressed exclamations came one after another, but then they were completely silenced because Raymond strengthened the intensity of the pressure field, and the two strong men who inserted the tower shield into the soil to resist the attack knelt on the ground and could not move because they were closest to the tooth beast.
Crystal, the only one who was not suppressed by Raymond's pressure, came to the tooth beast, and her open arms directly embraced its neck, turned around and showed a pleading expression to Raymond!
Becky, the girl who came out from Raymond's fingertips after feeling Raymond's call, opened her mouth in astonishment after seeing everything clearly. She appeared in front of Crystal in a flash, as if she was communicating with her, and her expression became more and more strange!
Raymond, who controlled the entire camp, explored the area of several thousand meters to confirm that there was no abnormality, and then landed beside Crystal, looking at Becky and waiting for the result of her inquiry... (To be continued...)
