Suddenly, a strong airflow dissipated towards the Forest of Darkness. Immediately, mountains and forests roared. Countless wild beasts and monsters fled crazily. Countless birds emerged crazily from the forest and swept through the world.
Countless people looked at the source of the disaster and the phenomenon, their hearts filled with fear.
With a dragon roar, they immediately trembled in fear.
"That's the cry of a dragon. Every single one of them is at least a powerful Legendary creature. Why are they here?"
"What level of monster is it to have such a huge commotion?"
"Captain, run! The Forest of Darkness is no longer a place we can stay."
"Full retreat!"
…
As the aura created by the Skeleton Dragon spread, countless explorers in the Forest of Darkness hurriedly retreated. They were all experienced adventurers, so they naturally cherished their lives.
Facing a powerful existence, they naturally would not advance rashly.
At this moment, the two teams were looking in the direction of the Forest of Darkness from afar, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding people who were fleeing in panic.
More than twenty people, fully armed, split into two teams and stood on both sides.
Countless leaves flew over hitting them, but they could not shake them at all.
The leader on the left was a tall middle-aged man. He was wearing half-body armor and a black riding coat. The man's exposed muscles were as hard as steel. On his weathered face was a pair of sharp eyes.
The man was holding a two-handed sword with mysterious runes engraved on it. It was a Gold-grade equipment.
The teammates behind the man were all well-equipped and had unfathomable strength.
The man's name was Swift Barlow. He was a Level 49 Sword Warrior. Sword Warrior was a hidden class for Warriors. Its powerful attributes were not inferior to Epic-ranked creatures. It also had a special skill called Sword Combat Aura.
The sword squad led by the man was an extremely famous mercenary squad in Aulburg. Their powerful strength allowed their quest completion rate to reach 100%.
At that moment, behind the man, the Vice Commander of the Sword Squad slowly spoke.
"Captain, this aura is definitely not from a Dark Mage. It must be a powerful dragon-type creature. We don't know its level, but it must be far stronger than us."
"The difficulty of the quest has changed drastically. Are we still going forward?"
This time, the Sword Squad was hired for a quest. The Dark Mages captured their employer's only son. After searching for a few days, they finally found the position of the Dark Mages.
He was just about to make a move when he encountered such a situation.
That dragon-type creature was definitely the companion of a Dark Mage. Dark Mages were extremely difficult to deal with to begin with. Coupled with this terrifying dragon-type creature, the Sword Squad was far from having the strength to deal with it.
"Sword Squad will never back down!"
A deep voice rang out. It was Swift Barlow. The Vice Commander of the Sword Squad let out a sigh. Without saying anything else, he could already hear the determination in the captain's words.
Then, he took a step back, his face filled with determination.
After Swift Barlow finished speaking, he looked at a handsome man in a gorgeous robe beside him.
The staff in the man's hand was more than two meters tall, far taller than the man.
At this moment, a golden staff—Whisper of the Wind—was as famous as the man's strength!
The Wind Whisperer, Faraday Dylan, was a famous expert in the Gale Guild. It was rumored that the Wind Whisperer's spell could destroy a town, and he was in noway inferior to the captain at all.
However, Faraday Dylan's powerful strength gave him a trace of confidence.
Swift Barlow turned his head slightly and looked at Faraday Dylan, who had a pair of green curls on his hair and was dignified and elegant.
"Faraday Dylan, your Wind Whisper Squad's quest is also that Dark Mage, right? How about we form a team?"
Swift Barlow's forehead was wrinkled, his deep eyes thoughtful.
If not for the fact that the Vice Commander had personally entrusted him with this quest, he would have given up long ago. The might of that terrifying dragon-type creature was not something they could deal with.
He did not want his team to die in vain.
But now, all that was left was to join forces with the Sword Squad. With the two teams joining forces, his powerful wind-elemental field control spells and Swift Barlow's terrifying melee ability would not put the entire team in a desperate situation.
Then, Faraday Dylan raised his staff and turned to meet Swift Barlow's sharp gaze. He was not at a disadvantage at all.
"Sure!"
The two teams agreed and began to carefully probe forward.
The two teams ranked among the top three in the Dark Forest's exploration team. If others knew that the Sword Squad and Wind Whisper teams had joined forces, they would naturally be shocked.
What kind of existence could make the Sword Squad and Wind Whisper Squad team up?
…
At this moment, a dragon breath had already severely injured the Dark Mage.
Half of his black robe was already burnt, revealing the charred skin underneath.
Looking at the Skeleton Dragon surrounded by red Hellfire in midair, the Dark Mage felt powerless.
This Skeleton Dragon was a mythical creature. It severely injured him with a single strike and he could not even escape.
Especially after seeing the young and handsome man on the neck of the Skeleton Dragon, his face under the black robe was already extremely shocked.
"Who is it that can make the mythical creature, the Skeleton Dragon, willing to be a mount? Moreover, it's such a young person."
The Dark Mage understood that the key to his survival lies with the young man.
Then, he took off his hood, revealing a man's face covered in tattoos. His skin was as black as charcoal.
His facial features were distinct, but there were many abnormalities. Clearly, he was not Human.
The Dark Mage looked at Daniel Davis respectfully. After a slight hesitation, he remembered the Human language that he had not used for a long time.
"Respected Knight, please forgive my rudeness. I think we must have some misunderstanding. The three esteemed guests are unharmed under my protection. I will return them to you now."
The Dark Mage had long understood why he had attracted this disaster. It was because of the three Humans he had recently captured.
Then, the black robe opened again, and three unconscious Human figures appeared on the ground.
Daniel Davis, who was sitting on the Skeleton Dragon, instantly looked at the beautiful girl with short silver hair in the middle. Her weak face was filled with stubbornness, and she was wearing soft armor.
It was his mentor's daughter, his Senior—Lvy Boris.
Senior's clothes were intact. Other than being a little weak, she was not injured.
After all, Dark Mages did not like stupid Kobolds. They were only interested in the corpses of powerful creatures. In their eyes, Humans were no different from pigs and dogs.
The Dark Mage saw the surprise on Daniel Davis's face and said quickly:
"Sir, I definitely didn't hurt them. You can choose one and take it with you."
And then, with wary eyes, he glanced at Daniel Davis.
A smile appeared on Daniel Davis's lips. He said slowly:
"Sorry, I want all three, including you!"
