Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 127: Monster Stampede - 4

"I hope the city lord and guild master use some big AOE skills; it will be much more useful," Li Wei muttered to himself as he observed the fight between adventurers and monsters.

There were also evil monsters in it, but high-level adventurers intervened if they saw someone in trouble.

This confrontation continued for ten minutes when the high-level monsters from levels 21-30 finally arrived from behind.

"Group two, join the fight immediately, and group one, retreat now!" Karina commanded, watching the arrival of high-level monsters.

The adventurers didn't hesitate and followed her commands immediately.

"Let's go; it's time to fight," Li Wei said to his party members as he took out a sword from the item box and followed to the battlefield with everyone.

They changed places with a low-level party and started to kill monsters.

The monsters above level 20 were still a little away, so it wasn't a problem for them as they took care of monsters easily while collecting the corpses so it wouldn't affect their movements.

As they joined the frontline, others too did, and the same was for Bai Feng, who was looking at Li Wei coldly.

'Just wait; your days will be over soon,' he snorted and focused on fighting with monsters.

As everything was going smoothly, Daniel and his companions were a little away from the North Gate watching everything sneakily.

However, their attention was focused behind the fight of Irene and Pride where a few tens of people in cloaks stood there.

"Bastard! He is controlling them," William cursed with an ugly expression.

"Sir William, you mean the Lord of Pride is controlling them, but aren't we together also it was decided it will be only us to attack the city so why did he came?" David asked with a frown.

In response, William shook his head.

"I don't know, but it's certain we can't trust him, or we will end up like those guys. They might even end up dead if the Lord of Pride keeps sucking their strength," he replied with a black face and turned his attention towards Bai Feng.

"Anyway, leave him alone and focus on what we are supposed to do. It's a great thing that the hero is only protected by some low-level knights."

"So as long as we kidnap the hero, our higher-ups will brainwash him later to use his blessings for leveling up and amassing money," he explained, looking around to find the chance.

Soon his attention was attracted by the trolls who were eager to attack.

"Get ready; when the trolls engage in a fight with Priestess Irene's legion, we will have a chance soon," he reminded them.

Daniel, Mark, and Zek nodded, keeping an eye on every movement.

While a similar scene unfolded just a little away from them, where three women got ready to take action while hiding their faces and figures with black cloaks.

"No matter what, don't reveal your identity," the leader women warned them.

"Yes, Madam, don't worry, we will not reveal our identities even if we are caught," her two subordinates replied firmly.

"That's good, then," the leader women nodded and turned her gaze towards the battlefield.

"As long as we complete this bounty, we will be rich," she muttered, thinking of the money she was going to receive.

While in the frontline battle, everyone now started facing monsters from level 21.

With the evil monsters involved, it was a little hard for the newbies, but with the help of senior adventurers, everything was going smoothly.

But soon, the trolls started to move towards the city as they received a command from the Lord of Pride, who was busy confronting Irene in a heated battle.

However, they were only attacking with basic skills as they wanted to save MP for later situations; after all, they didn't have a lot of MP pool like Li Wei.

"Priestess, just give up; I can recover indefinitely with my special ability, and so is my MP. You are just here wasting my time," Pride snorted, blocking her attack and dodging the kick with black face.

"Humph, there is no such thing as recovering indefinitely," Irene replied, launching an attack again.

As their confrontation continued, the adventurers in the frontline panicked a little after watching the five trolls coming towards the city with their height of a three-story building.

"Everyone, calm down; the legion of priestess Irene will take care of them, so just focus on the fight," Karina assured the adventurers after watching their panicked look.

But after her voice, the adventurers calmed down a lot and focused on fighting while staying alert.

"Miss Lyla, do you need my help?" Maurice, the guild master, inquired to her.

However, Lyla shook her head.

"You don't need to worry about the trolls; we can take care of them, but it will take time as we have to divide ourselves into five groups," she replied with an explanation and looked at her companions.

"Let's go; it's time to fight," she announced and directly used the teleportation skill on her companions, arriving in front of the five trolls.

"Divide into groups of four and fight; also, remember safety is first, so if you can't kill it, just stall them," she instructed.

"Yes, Miss Lyla," her companions nodded and soon engaged in a fight with trolls with her included.

The sight of twenty maidens fighting five three-story-tall trolls attracted everyone's attention.

"They are really great at fighting even the big monsters," Li Wei muttered with a soft sigh.

"Brother Li, it's because they are trained to fight, and we will be there too if we train ourselves," Alice replied, her eyes shining at the thought of it.

"Alice, focus on the current task, or you will get injured," Elva reminded her as she blocked an attack of a monster heading towards her.

"Oh, sorry, Elva, I was distracted," Alice replied with a chuckle and started to fight with monsters with ease.

'Looks like they all got used to their levels,' Li Wei nodded with thoughtful look, watching them fighting with ease.

"Brother, are you not going to learn their skills?" Li Xin asked in a low voice and a puzzled face after seeing him not focusing on the legion of Priestess.

"XinXin, they are currently using the basic skills, and if I use it here, maybe I wouldn't have enough MP later to learn the special ones."

"Not to mention, I have to keep a portion of MP reserved for critical situations," Li Wei explained to her.

Hearing him, Li Xin nodded and resumed the fight with monsters while Li Wei too did the same, killing monsters around them with ease.

However, he didn't know that their easy fight with monsters attracted a lot of attention from everyone.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't give a shit as he didn't want to see anyone in his party hurt just because he wanted to hide his strength.

"This fella is really interesting," the city lord muttered as he stood on top of Valeria Terrace, the tallest building in the city, also the main power source of the protective shield.

When a voice suddenly rang behind him.

"Is he the one who you talked about being the excellent hero candidate?" an old man in the attire of the priest inquired.

"Haha, Old Priest, you came here too. Also, it's not me who talked about him; it was Maurice. Looks like your brain is rotting with your body," the city lord replied with a laugh.

"Humph, what kind of city lord you are who doesn't even respect the priest of the church. It's a good thing that I know you from childhood; if not, you wouldn't be sitting on the city lord position till now," the priest replied with cold eyes but didn't care too much.

He then turned his attention towards the frontline.

"Are you ready? They will need your help," he asked with a serious expression.

"Haha, Priest, don't worry; I am always ready, but let's wait first; those snakes will be coming out soon," the city lord replied as his eyes flashed coldly.

But it was just as he expected; some people from dark factions started to make a move, slowly approaching the hero Bai Feng.

With the bounty placed on him, there were many people who wanted to kidnap him while some came to kill him for fun and earn a name.

However, Bai Feng was oblivious to it and was busy killing monsters while thinking how to kill Li Wei when suddenly the two knights protecting him from the dark appeared.

"Be careful, Hero Bai Feng; some people are coming here with ill intentions," a knight informed him while looking at the group of four people who were approaching them.

"What do you mean by ill intentions? Is someone looking for trouble?" Bai Feng asked with a black face.

He already had enough of the people looking down on him, and now there are other people targeting him; how could he not feel angry.

"Hero Bai Feng, they are from dark factions, and they have come here to kidnap you or kill you, so be careful of sneak attacks," the knight replied while keeping an eye on the suspicious group who were busy killing monsters.
