Green Monster Epic

Chapter 215: Underhanded Tactics

Allen couldn't understand what those people in civilized society were thinking. Since the other party had betrayed them first and even tried to kill them, why not seize the opportunity to take revenge instead of turning around and leaving?

In any case, Allen wouldn't let it go. It wasn't just because of his friendship with Salu these days, but also because Allen didn't like others competing with him for the same goal. Wouldn't it be great to have one less opponent searching for treasure with him?

Seeing Allen's stance, Salu's expression changed countless times. He wanted to leave immediately, but he was unwilling to give up Allen as an ally. Of course, deep down, he had also considered the idea of retaliating against the teammates who had betrayed him.

Finally, seeing Allen's figure about to disappear into the white mist, Salu ultimately couldn't let go of Allen as a partner, as well as the hatred in his heart for his old teammates. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and with daggers in both hands, he jogged after Allen's back.

Salu's former teammates were mainly humans, with two humans and one dwarf cooperating to fight a brown bear with an iron back. The brown bear's entire body was covered in a layer of khaki-colored stone armor. Except for the exposed joints, the opponents' weapons, when striking the armor, only caused some debris to fall off, and it was basically difficult to injure the brown bear's flesh. On the other hand, although the brown bear's movements were a bit slow, its power was astonishing. The three figures agilely dodged the brown bear's sweeping palm movements time and time again, but if they were not careful and the brown bear seized the opportunity, forcing the opponent to confront it head-on, they would often be sent flying, rolling far away.

Of course, as a magical beast, the brown bear's magic wasn't limited to the armor on its body. From time to time, the bear's paws would strike the ground, sometimes directly causing small-scale seismic waves, causing a piece of the ground to sink, or suddenly having several ground thorns protrude from the ground, causing the three figures to scramble to avoid them.

Allen quietly lurked aside, observing the movements in the field. Although he had already revealed his killing intent, he wasn't foolish enough to expose himself now, needlessly wasting his strength and anger. He was prepared to wait for the opportune moment, and only when one side showed signs of defeat would he consider taking action.

Beside him, Salu's expression was particularly complex. When he saw those two familiar faces appear in front of him again, the beautiful memories of the past, followed by the sudden betrayal and assassination, all flashed through Salu's mind.

The brown bear's defense was strong, and it also had magic to support it, making it difficult for the three adventurers to strike a fatal blow. However, the brown bear's figure was clumsy, and if the three adventurers wanted to escape, the brown bear would basically have difficulty catching up. But now it seemed that these three adventurers were planning to kill this brown bear by force. It seemed that there was something on this brown bear that could attract the three adventurers, making them entangle with it despite the trouble.

The dwarf adventurer held an iron shield almost as tall as himself, facing the brown bear's giant palms head-on. Whenever his teammates couldn't dodge the brown bear, he would always rush to support them at the first moment, using his shield to block the brown bear for his teammates. One of the two human adventurers ran far away, drawing the longbow in his hand into a crescent shape while running, shooting at the gaps exposed by the brown bear. When the feathered arrows tore through the air, making a sharp whistling sound as they shot towards the brown bear, they were always blocked by the opponent's armor. The few feathered arrows that shot towards the joints often failed to penetrate the brown bear's thick fur.

The other human held a long sword in each hand, moving agilely in the blind spot of the brown bear's vision. Whenever he found an opportunity, he would suddenly burst forward and thrust out his long sword, and then, regardless of the results, he would quickly retreat after the long sword hit the target, just in time to dodge the brown bear's counterattack.

The two sides were entangled in this way. Allen saw a dwarf, slightly taller than a goblin, for the first time, who could withstand the brown bear's palm strikes, which were several times his size, in terms of strength. Even if he was split several meters away by the opponent, he could quickly stand up and rejoin the battle, as if his body was made of iron.

Judging from the situation, the three adventurers seemed unable to cause significant damage to the brown bear, but in fact, they had been causing damage to the brown bear's exposed joints and other parts. In the long run, the brown bear would eventually be unable to hold on, and defeat was almost a foregone conclusion.

The brown bear obviously knew all of this. When the human swordsman once again caused damage to its hind leg joints, it finally went berserk, stood up on its hind legs, patted its chest with its two thick bear paws, and then pressed down on the ground like a huge boulder. A huge energy was transmitted from the brown bear's front paws to the ground. With the place where the brown bear stood as the center, the ground within a radius of ten meters completely collapsed amidst the earth shaking and mountains swaying, and roots of ground thorns rose from the ground along the brown bear's gaze, chasing after the three figures.

Allen and Salu were caught off guard and were also implicated in this earthquake, staggering to avoid the movement of the surrounding trees falling down. By the time they regained their footing, they had already been discovered by three embarrassed figures.

"Salu, you're not dead yet?"

The human archer was the first to discover the green-skinned Salu, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Mark, you guys are not dead yet, how could I possibly take a step before you guys!!"

Salu's weak side had already been put away in the deepest part of his heart. At this time, the face revealed in front of the humans was full of sarcasm and ridicule, as well as undisguised hatred.

The dwarf shield warrior on the other side looked puzzled, looking at the swordsman companion beside him, hoping he could explain the relationship between them. It seemed that he hadn't spent much time with Mark and the other human companion.

Taking advantage of the other party's daze, Allen suddenly launched an attack, the first to bear the brunt was the human archer who looked very agile. The other party had been grazed by a ground thorn when dodging the earthquake and ground thorns before, and his movements were already a bit slow at this time.

"Who are you?"

Mark questioned sharply, while at the same time raising his hand without hesitation and firing an arrow, trying to shoot the attacker dead on the spot.

Allen crouched down, just avoiding the arrow that was shot, while at the same time his figure did not stop, quickly closing the distance with the target.

"You dare!!"

The dwarf didn't wait for the human companion's reply, but seeing someone attacking his teammate in front of him, he also shouted loudly, raising the shield in his left hand and about to launch a charge towards Allen, but the brown bear next to him, which had released a big move in one breath, slapped it over, interrupting the dwarf's movements.

Magical beasts that can awaken their talents are more intelligent than their peers. Although they may still be inferior to intelligent races in terms of common sense, they can still judge the situation that is most beneficial to them. The two figures that suddenly appeared made the brown bear stunned at first, and it thought they were companions of these three adventurers, but now seeing Allen attacking one of the humans, and the other dwarf was going to stop him, the brown bear slapped it over without thinking.

With the brown bear's support, Allen had once again closed the distance between himself and the human archer. Although Mark had already begun to stagger towards the other human companion, dragging his injured leg, the distance of only a few meters was only a breath or two for Allen.
