Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 716 - 679 Abandoned Beastmen

Chapter 716: Chapter 679: Abandoned Beastmen Chapter 716: Chapter 679: Abandoned Beastmen There are other Void Magic Warriors here?

This discovery immediately made Rocky tense up, and it wasn’t without reason. Given the enemies he was facing and the environment he was in, it was only natural for him to be on edge.

At this time, Rocky was essentially isolated, with Thunderhawk City not by his side and Backhill Village several days’ journey away. If Rick and his people chose this moment to send a troop to ambush him, Rocky’s situation could become dire. He might not even have the chance to escape.

So upon spotting the others, Rocky immediately took Liliya and the rest with him as they flew towards the forest. He had to ascertain their identities.

“Rocky, could there be an ambush?”

At first, Liliya and the others didn’t know what was happening. But after learning that there were other unknown Void Magic Warriors present, they too became alert. This was no joking matter; an actual enemy ambush could cause them serious trouble.

“I don’t know, that’s why I brought you few. If it turns out to be an ambush, you all must head back immediately, don’t worry about me, understand?”

While flying in the sky, Rocky spoke. In fact, the moment he noticed the others, he had considered the possibility of an ambush. That’s why he had brought only Liliya, Sandro, and Dusa—three individuals whose combat strength was top-notch and whose armors’ mobility was second only to that of the White Demon. If they indeed fell into an enemy’s trap, Rocky believed they could definitely make their escape.

“Understood.”

After agreeing, Liliya and the others prepared for battle. By this time, they had already arrived above the forest. However, looking around, they found that the Void Magic Warriors they had spotted earlier had disappeared.

“Let’s go down.”

Realizing the Void Magic Warriors were gone, they looked downward, but now that it was night, all they could see were dark branches. With no other choice, Rocky ordered them to descend, and they all landed within the forest.

The forest, which didn’t seem very large from above, revealed its considerable size once they entered. Moreover, it was now night; thus, when they looked around, it seemed as if the forest was boundlessly vast, with no visible end in sight.

“Rocky, something isn’t right here…”

After looking around, Liliya spoke up.

“Yeah, I’ve noticed.”

Nodding, Rocky too became guarded, for indeed there was something off about this place. Although it looked like a normal forest, just larger, something made it feel abnormal.

“Everyone be careful.”

“Understood.”

“Got it.”

After responding, Sandro and Dusa activated the lighting on their shoulders. The light from the Magic Energy Lamps shot out in two beams, dispelling the darkness ahead. Then they followed behind Rocky, moving deeper into the forest.

Crack…

Crack…

Crack…

Walking in the forest, every step crunched on the leaves and twigs on the ground, making sharp, crisp noises, and apart from that, the entire forest seemed eerily quiet.

“It’s so quiet here… Why are there no demons?”

After walking in the forest for a while, Dusa had begun to feel something was off about this place. Outside, the sound of artillery was incessant, and the nearby demons should have been drawn to the commotion, but this forest was frighteningly tranquil. Aside from the distant booms of artillery, only their own footsteps and breaths could be heard, with almost no other sounds.

This was incredibly strange, and Dusa found it unbelievable.

Though Dusa was the youngest among them, her familiarity with the land was unparalleled because before she and Monte had joined forces with Rocky, she and her father were demon hunters who specialized in hunting the tail-end of demons. According to Dusa’s experience, a forest like this would inevitably be a demons’ lair, perhaps not many, but certainly some.

However, as they had walked along, she saw no demon, nor did she hear any sounds indicative of them, which was peculiar indeed.

“Dusa, take a close look at our surroundings. Is there anything unusual?”

Hearing Dusa’s remark, Rocky turned back to her and said, only Dusa had the necessary skills for this job among them, and she immediately nodded, then ran ahead of Rocky and crouched to examine the ground.

After studying the ground for a while, Dusa didn’t speak but stood up and ran forward a few steps. Seeing this, Rocky and the others hurriedly followed. Only after running deep into the forest for several tens of meters did Dusa stop again.

“My lord, there are footprints here, but… they’re not from demons.”

Crouched on the ground, gently brushing the fallen leaves with her hand, Dusa slowly said.

The forest floor, covered in a thick layer of leaves, seemed to contain nothing else to Rocky and the others. To Dusa, however, it was different; she could discern footprints from the shape of the leaves, and she had indeed found some—just not from demons…

“These are…”

Staring at the footprints on the ground, Dusa’s brows first drew together in confusion, but then she suddenly stood up, “We’re surrounded!”

And it was precisely at the moment she uttered these words that several dark shadows whooshed and leaped from the surrounding area. By the time Rocky and the others realized what was happening, they were already encircled!

“Prepare for battle!”

Realizing their surroundings had suddenly filled with many figures, Rocky instantly held the Magic Fang Scythe in his hands, then stood back to back with Liliya, Sandro, and Dusa, the four of them facing outwards in four directions, ready to defend themselves.

“They are…”

As all four of them drew their respective weapons, standing back to back in a defensive stance, they were taken aback.

For they discovered that those who had trapped them were neither demons nor Void Magic Warriors, but a group of… Beastmen?!

The Beastmen who appeared were numerous, easily in the dozens. They wore the most primitive leather clothes and held a variety of weapons. Some were on the ground, others perched on tree branches. Each one was clearly prepared for battle, as if the slightest impulse from Rocky and his companions would trigger an immediate and relentless attack from these Beastmen.

This turn of events was beyond Rocky’s expectations, for he had never imagined encountering The Forsaken People here!

Clearly, these Beastmen were The Forsaken People who lived on the land!
