56: Is this considered a qualified bodyguard?

East Ferry Forest.

Countless adventurers were crying out.

Originally, today was sunny and clear, a perfect day for leveling up.

But this sudden anomaly caught everyone off guard.

"Damn it! What does this mean?! Why is East Ferry Forest so unusual today? If I had run slower, I might have died in there!"

"This looks a bit like high-tier magic?! How could such immense magical power emerge in a place like ours? Could it be that some secret treasure has appeared? Is that why such a strange phenomenon is occurring?!"

"I just saw with my own eyes a Third-Tier Magical Beast whose body was slightly pierced, and then it was instantly killed by those vines. This terrifying damage means we'd be injured by a brush and killed by a touch!"

...Hundreds of thousands of adventurers continuously poured out of the dense forest.

If they didn't run now, they would truly become souls under the blade.

In the distance, Han Xueyuan watched this sudden anomaly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her slender jade fingers caressing the life-saving item in her storage ring.

Once that Eighth-Turn Expert discovered her whereabouts, she would choose to flee immediately.

"Where did that guy go?!"

"Damn it!"

"I've been searching for so long, how can there be no trace of him?!"

Han Xueyuan's tone carried a hint of anger.

She had thought the task her teacher gave her this time would be extremely easy.

It was just protecting some wet-behind-the-ears kids... but this situation occurred on the very first day of contact.

This was truly a bit hard to handle!

As a bodyguard, if she couldn't even find the person to protect, then she was truly derelict in her duty!

Han Xueyuan's previous conjectures had not come true at all.

She had thought Su Feng would be hunted by various forces, and at that time, she would step forward to secretly deal with all the enemies, thus completing the mission perfectly.

But now, Su Feng was nowhere to be found, like a divine dragon whose head is seen but not its tail.

In the current situation, even if something happened to Su Feng, she would have no way of knowing!

..."A Fifth-Tier Magical Beast actually escaped?"

"And its speed is so fast. It seems I still knew too little before. This Fifth-Tier Magical Beast must die!"

Su Feng felt the continuous surge of magical power within his body, his level already reaching two hundred and twenty-two.

But it was still a tiny bit short of using the Level Fruit.

This Fifth-Tier Magical Beast was a huge boost for him, how could he let it go at a time like this?!

The Crimson Gold Sub-Dragon Boa immediately bowed, then transformed into a several-meter-long appearance, awaiting Su Feng's command.

But Su Feng merely stood with his hands behind his back, taking a step forward.

He softly said, "That magical beast is too fast and too small. Going after it like this might allow it to escape..."

The entire Crimson Gold Sub-Dragon Boa was a bit confused.

Does its master have a better way?!

After all, it was a Seventh-Tier Magical Beast!

It could dig three feet deep to find it for its master!

"Get on!"

The Crimson Gold Sub-Dragon Boa obediently transformed into a beautiful small snake, coiling around Su Feng's strong arm.

Immediately after, it felt a continuous surge of magical power emanating from the ground, seemingly still gushing out non-stop.

The ground beneath Su Feng's feet had already cracked inch by inch, and it seemed unable to hold on much longer!

The Crimson Gold Sub-Dragon Boa was inwardly shocked beyond belief; such a method was truly astonishing!

Today, it had truly opened its eyes!

It turned out Su Feng still had so many moves he hadn't used... Bang!

Su Feng stomped his foot, and his figure shot up abruptly, piercing straight into the clouds.

He sped towards the distance.

Boom!

The moment Su Feng left, the massive mountain could no longer withstand the immense pressure and actually collapsed.

The people hiding in the distance saw the collapsing mountain and secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, they ran fast enough!

Otherwise, even if they hadn't died among those strange vines, they would have been buried by the collapsing mountain.

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

Everyone had originally wanted to see if any secret treasure had appeared, but after witnessing the collapse of the mountain with their own eyes, they all dispelled that notion.

They hurriedly returned to the city.

After all, there was a protective Magic Formation there, no matter what!

..."Should I inform Teacher about this situation or not?!"

Han Xueyuan's gaze was indifferent, and when she came to her senses, she found her palms covered in sweat.

"Hehe... Is the pressure really too great?"

Han Xueyuan mocked herself helplessly, never expecting that by simply taking on such a straightforward mission, she would simultaneously encounter two Eighth-Turn Experts!

This was simply incredible!

Eighth-Turn Experts were as rare as morning stars... yet today she had actually seen two of them.

Especially the second one, who could silently shatter an entire mountain.

That person hadn't shown any elemental fluctuations at all!

The first one, at least, used wood element to control plants for attacks.

But this second one's strength was clearly greater!

To achieve such a feat without the aid of elements themselves.

One can only say... terrifying!

"Forget it, I'll wait a bit longer!"

"Otherwise... I'd really disappoint Teacher!"

...On the ground, a crimson fox with two tails was running non-stop.

Its eyes were filled with terror, and the light from its fiery red body had dimmed considerably.

"Damn it!"

"How could such a powerful expert appear in this place? If I hadn't severed one of my tails to barely save my life, I'd probably be like those pieces of trash now!"

...The Three-Tailed Crimson Fox kept running, its survival instinct telling it never to stop.

Otherwise, there was only death!

"Run!"

"If I ever reach this realm, I will slaughter them all to avenge this hatred!"

The Three-Tailed Crimson Fox's face was pale.

The power of that last attack was truly terrifying!

It almost turned to dust!

Even if its racial talent was resurrection, it probably couldn't be used again in a short period.

"What is this feeling?!"

The Three-Tailed Crimson Fox suddenly felt enveloped by an inexplicable terror, making its entire body tremble.

But it just couldn't pinpoint where the danger was coming from!

It could only try to shout into the empty air, "If I have inadvertently entered your territory, please forgive me, Senior. I will leave immediately and will not linger!"

The trembling body of the Three-Tailed Fire Fox could no longer maintain its forward momentum.

It was now on the verge of tears!

Move!

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground above it collapsed.

Its already exhausted body was directly pierced by sharp gravel.

The terrifying magical power even directly crushed it into dust.

Boom!

After Su Feng landed, he found that the brown earth around him, centered on himself, had transformed into a massive crater.

And everything inside had turned to ashes.

"Holy crap!"

"It seems I should be careful when using Great Desolate Starfall in the future!"

"The destructive power is truly immense. A mountain collapsed when I left, and now a huge deep pit has formed, oh dear..."

...
