Chapter 888

"We're finally here …."

The girl wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at the castle ruins not far away.

"I say … .are we really going there?"

"We can't not go, can we? This is an order from the guild … .they want us to investigate the situation of the first layer lord …."

Hearing the girl's question, a heavy axe-wielding warrior in leather armour replied in a low voice.

"But didn't the Survival Handbook suggest that we should at least reach level 20 before going? We're only level 16 now, isn't that a little too low? "

"We can't help it. This is an order from Her Highness the Princess. Besides, we're only going to investigate, not fight. We just have to avoid those monsters … .what's that called again …."

"Search range!"

"Yes, the range of searching for the enemy."

The heavy axe-wielding warrior couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and smiled helplessly.

"I'm getting old, I really can't keep up with you youngsters anymore."

"Anyway, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to take a look …."

While speaking in a low voice, the girl lowered her body and quietly passed through the bushes. She peeked her head out and looked in the direction of the castle ruins. Then, the girl's eyes widened in surprise.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong? Are there a lot of monsters? "

"No …."

The young lady shook her head. Then, she rubbed her eyes and gazed ahead.

"There are no monsters."

"No?? Are you sure? "

The heavy axe-wielding warrior hurriedly peeked his head out and looked forward. Sure enough, the wilderness outside the gate of the huge abandoned castle was empty, not even the shadow of a single monster could be seen. The two of them looked at each other in dismay. After a while, the heavy axe-wielding warrior asked.

"What should we do?"

"We …."

"Look over there!"

But before the girl finished her sentence, a bright light suddenly flashed in the distance. The heavy axe-wielding warrior lifted his head in surprise and looked into the castle gate.

"It seems like someone is fighting!"

"You mean someone is planning to raid the overlord?"

The girl immediately perked up. She peeked her head out and looked ahead. As expected, a sharp cross-shaped light appeared in the distance. This was the unique sign of a player using a sword skill.

"Someone has started to raid the first floor's core area?!"

"What should we do?"

"…."

Staring at the castle gate, the girl hesitated for a moment and made a decision.

"Let's go take a look."

"Wait, are you really going?"

The heavy axe-wielding warrior was taken aback.

"This is the core area where the overlord is! What if we get trapped in there? "

"But now that someone has started to raid the overlord, we can't just sit back and watch, right?"

The girl said and stood up.

"I want to see. If they succeed, won't we be the first to witness the overlord's defeat? If they encounter any danger, we can also go and help them. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The monsters will spawn soon! If we can't find them, we can just use the Teleportation Crystal. "

The girl hurriedly leaped out of the bushes and sprinted toward the castle. The heavy axe-wielding warrior sighed helplessly and hurriedly followed her.

"Clang! Clang clang clang! "

Since they didn't encounter any enemies, they quickly passed through the wilderness and entered the castle. Following the sounds of weapons clashing, the girl and the heavy axe-wielding warrior arrived at the battlefield without much effort.

"Wah …"

The girl leaned against the corner of the wall and peeked at the other side of the battlefield. Then, she widened her eyes and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the girl's expression, the heavy axe-wielding warrior also peeked his head out curiously. Then, he couldn't help but be surprised.

In an open space not far ahead, several figures were fighting against a group of Cynocephalus Guards. They wore pitch-black capes and windbreakers, and they brandished their weapons as they fought against the Cynocephalus Guards. However, the reason why the two of them were so surprised wasn't only because of these people's uniforms, but also because of their fighting style.

The girl and the heavy axe-wielding warrior had also joined the guild. Usually, they would train with the others and fight monsters together, so they weren't unfamiliar with fighting monsters together. However, when they fought monsters, most of the time, it was very chaotic. After all, players were still players, and they didn't have much discipline to speak of. So, when they fought, they basically fought on their own.

However, this group of players was completely different.

They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and they had a special temperament that other players didn't have at all. Even when facing the siege of dozens of Cynocephalus Guards, these players easily blocked their attacks and killed them in two or three moves. Their movements were crisp, agile, and skillful as if they were scenes that only appeared in movies.

"Hey, hey, hey. Are these really players?"

Staring at this scene, the heavy axe-wielding warrior's eyes widened in shock. He didn't even know what to say. If it weren't for the lock icon in his eyes indicating that the other party was indeed a player, the heavy axe-wielding warrior would have even thought that they were NPCs in this game, and that what he had triggered was likely a game event.

"Lifa! You're too slow! Jia Baili, pay attention to the right wing! Ying Lili! On my command, three, two, one … Asuna, Black Cat, now! Charge! "

Along with this command, the girl and the heavy axe-wielding warrior saw a figure jump out from behind the Cynocephalus Archers as if out of thin air. She swung the dagger in her hand with a dazzling intersecting brilliance, which instantly enveloped three Cynocephalus Archers holding bows at the back of the team. Although the attack power of the dagger was not enough to kill the Cynocephalus Archers instantly, the attack still quickly broke up the Cynocephalus Archers' formation.

At that moment, two figures shot out from the team like arrows released from a bow. They charged straight ahead, and wherever they went, the Cynocephalus Archers screamed and disappeared. The two figures were like a sharp sword that pierced through the entire Cynocephalus Formation, completely disrupting their rhythm and direction. The others immediately took action. It did not take long for the Cynocephalus Monsters to be completely wiped out.

"So … so powerful!!"

Seeing the last Cynocephalus Monster being wiped out, the girl clenched her fists in excitement and almost shouted out loud. Fortunately, she remembered that she was scouting, so she hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Who are these people … Why haven't I heard of such a party before?"

The heavy axe-wielding warrior obviously thought more. He reached out and pulled the girl back.

"I say, let's go. These people are too strong, and we don't even know if they're good guys or bad guys. If they discover us, we won't be able to explain ourselves …"

"What are you talking about? They're willing to risk their lives to attack the Overlord for everyone. How can they be bad guys?"

The girl obviously disagreed with the heavy axe-wielding warrior. She protested while peeking her head out again and looked ahead.

"Ahhh …"

Ying Lili put down her short sword and kicked a rock in dissatisfaction.

"Why is this game so shameless? We can only use melee weapons, but these monsters can shoot arrows? Can't they be reasonable? "

"Why are you trying to reason with monsters?"

Fangzheng shook his head helplessly and scanned his surroundings.

"Let's recover here and move on."

Fangzheng paused for a moment and looked at the girls in front of him. He then randomly pointed at one of them.

"Aoyee."

"Ah, yes, Mr. Fangzheng! What's the matter?! "

Hearing Fangzheng's voice, Aoyee, who was resting at the side, jumped up in horror as if he was caught by the teacher in class. His eyes stared at Fangzheng without blinking.

"How many monsters have we encountered since we entered the castle?"

"Woo … … Ruin Kobold Guards, Ruin Kobold Guards, Ruin Kobold Archers … …"

"What weapons do they use? How many in a group? "

"The guards use axes, the guards use spears and shields, and the archers use bows and arrows … … They are all in groups of three … …"

"Very good … … Lifa!"

"Yes!"

This time, Lifa also hurriedly stood up.

"Which has a larger attack range, the guards or the guards? Which is faster? Which one should we attack first? "

"The guards have a larger attack range, and the guards are faster. We should attack the guards first … …"

"Don't forget next time."

Fangzheng nodded at Lifa. Lifa let out a long sigh of relief. Then, Fangzheng's line of sight swept past Lifa, then immediately retracted it. At the same time, he gave Astor and Lestia an undetectable look.

"Okay, let's move on."
