Chapter 216: Beast Roar

Chapter 216: Beast Roar

The afternoon sun was quite strong. The knights transformed themselves into strong men, carrying bundles of firewood on their backs and placing them in front of the cave.

Luo Ning poured out all the firewood from the space ring and threw it inside the cave.

He casually cast a few elementary fire magic spells, and the dry wood at the cave entrance was directly ignited, burning at an extremely fast speed.

"Jenny, get some water, we need smoke."

"At your service, my Lord!"

Jenny skillfully used the water gathering technique, a basic magic, to wet some of the firewood. Suddenly, the smoke thickened, some of it even rushing out of the cave.

Roning then used the Wind Clearing Technique, which not only supplied enough air but also blew all the rising black smoke into the cave.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.

It's good to have a magician. Look, he can make fire, water, and even wind.

Although some fighting skills have similar effects, they are generally more violent and might directly disperse all the firewood.

With the help of the Wind Clearing Technique, all the smoke drifted into the cave passage.

At first, no one could hear any response from inside the cave.

But soon, they faintly heard roars and shouts coming from inside.

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows and curled his lips slightly: "Throw in dry firewood, one bundle at a time."

"Jenny, keep using the water gathering technique to create smoke."

Everyone worked together to make the fire burn brightly and the smoke thick. Everyone felt like a child who had done something naughty, and they were very excited.

"Why is there no movement in there?"

"Will they be suffocated to death by us?"

"It's possible; even we can't withstand such smoke."

Everyone started talking at once. The roar they heard at the beginning had stopped, which made them speculate such a possibility.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and then a roar seeped out from the mountain.

This was not the roar of a human, but of animals, unlike the roars of wolves or howls of other beasts.

This cry was deep and majestic, as if it came from the depths of the earth, shaking everything around it, making people unconsciously feel a chill in their spines and a tingling scalp!

Whether it was Roning, Redal, or anyone else, their expressions changed.

Just when everyone was in doubt, a second roar was heard. This time it seemed a bit closer, and the sound was a little clearer.

"What is this?"

Joffrey's face changed. He had lived in the mountains for a long time and had never heard such a cry.

The only two ladies in the field, Jenny and Kurami, both looked a bit pale.

"Everyone step back and stay away from the cave entrance!"

Originally, Roning had planned to surround and attack those who came out, but the changing situation made him feel that this arrangement was inappropriate.

When everyone heard Roning's order, they immediately retreated.

Before leaving, Redar and McKeon threw all the remaining firewood into the cave, regardless of what was inside, and burned it first.

The flames were blazing. Although Jenny was still performing the water gathering technique, the distance was a bit far and the effect was greatly reduced. The smoke produced was much weaker.

At this moment, a third roar was heard, and the ground shook faintly, as if a giant beast was slowly approaching, making the ground tremble unconsciously, which was frightening.

"This is not an ordinary monster!"

Luo Ning's face changed slightly. He was already prepared. If the situation went wrong, he would directly take out the Fire Dragon Swallowing the Sky Scroll.

He couldn't help but wonder if it was his imagination, but he felt that the deep and majestic roar of the beast seemed to be mixed with sorrow and fatigue?

Before he could ponder too much, a fourth roar was heard. This time, it was accompanied not only by a roar but also by endless cold and violent winds.

Boom! The surging energy directly dispersed all the firewood piled at the entrance of the cave, and the smoke also surged out, exploding from the cave and spreading outside.

"Back off!" Roning shouted loudly.

The crowd, which had already retreated a hundred meters, retreated again in a hurry.

At the same time, to combat the smoke, Roning directly used the roaring wind magic. The violent gale mixed with dense small wind blades fought against the rushing smoke, creating a chaotic roar.

Redar, McKen, and others also used their fighting skills and attacked the cave entrance. After a roar, the world became quiet.

When the smoke cleared, the cave entrance had been bombed beyond recognition, with earth that had collapsed from the mountain covering half of the cave entrance.

Everyone's pupils contracted as they saw a shocking scene.

The entrance of the cave was completely frozen, like an ice crystal passage!

The ice crystals refracted the sunlight and sparkled brightly, and everyone seemed to feel that the temperature of the air around them had dropped significantly.

Roning frowned. What level of monster could cast such a large-scale frost spell?

But after this wave, the beast's roar seemed to have completely disappeared.

No one knew whether it was preparing for a big move in the cave or doing something else, but everyone just felt that this was the calm before the storm.

"Be alert and be on guard!"

Commander Riedal spoke out a reminder, bringing back the thoughts of everyone who was shocked by the ice crystal passage.

Tom, David, and other knights swallowed their saliva unconsciously. They felt that they should not be present in the upcoming battle.

Fortunately, it seemed that the lord asked them to come here just to learn more and see more, and had no intention of letting them participate in the battle.

"Who is it!"

"Who dares to trespass into the master's territory!"

A powerful voice, accompanied by angry roars and messy and rapid footsteps, quickly approached the cave entrance.

Roning raised his hand, "Prepare for a long-range attack!"

They didn't need to care about the other party's identity or role. Since they were in a hostile state, they could attack as soon as the other party showed up.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! At that moment, five figures rushed out of the cave at an extremely fast speed.

"Attack!"

Roning roared loudly and released the Roaring Wind first.

As his order was given, Redar, McKeon, and Elrond took the lead, and Joffrey, Kurami, and others quickly followed.

The five people rushing out from the opposite side seemed to have prepared themselves for being bombarded by fighting skills and magic. As soon as they came out, they used their own methods.

Suddenly, a massive skill showdown began in front of the cave.

There were more people on Roning's side who took action, but the result of the fight was evenly matched.

"Be careful, there might be a gold level on the other side!"

The smoke and energy from the collision dissipated, revealing the men and horses of both sides.

There were five people on the opposite side, led by the white-haired female knight in the middle, with four people on the left and right sides. Their strength was estimated to be at least high-level knights; in addition, when the aftermath of the skill bombardment dissipated, eight people ran out of the cave.

These eight people were all dressed in gray. They are the ones who patrol every day. Their strength is estimated to be at the beginner or intermediate level.

Roning looked past these people into the cave. At this moment, both sides had deployed their troops, but he still did not see any trace of magical beasts.

The other party still has hidden power?

"Is it you?"

The burly knight beside the white-haired woman pointed his sword at Ridal with a look of surprise.

"I remember you, the guy whose arm I stabbed that night. How did your injury heal so quickly?"

He thought that he could not kill an opponent of the same level with just one sword, but he believed that it would take at least a month or two for Redar's left arm to heal.

But at this moment, Redal was standing in front of him intact.

"Who are you anyway?"

Luo Ning asked: "Why are you hiding in this cave?"

"Haha, you fair little devil."

The woman licked her bright red lips. "I am very pleased with your appearance. How about surrendering to me? I will treat you well."

"You guys are not bad, how about you all submit to me?"
