Volume 1 Chapter 408

Chapter 408: It Is Lolth’s Favorite Hero-Saving-the-Damsel Moment

Even though the leader of their group died right in front of them, the members on both sides did not dare to move.

Not all mercenaries are selfish, cold, or without feelings.

However, a legendary-level monster is enough to make these mercenaries, who only barely touched the bottom of the superlative level, feel nothing but despair.

They did not even dare to run away, standing still, trembling and shaking.

They prayed to the gods, hoping to escape this disaster.

Even for professional priests, such prayers do not get a response from the gods.

However, even though their prayers were useless, they were still somewhat lucky.

Because at least, after killing two leaders, this giant snake stopped paying attention to them.

Instead, it turned its head, coldly and slowly scanning all the mercenaries present.

On some mercenaries, it will linger for a while, making the targeted area of mercenaries go quiet with fear.

But soon, some mercenaries looked at the area where it had focused, thinking about the two people who had just been eaten, and showed expressions of realization.

"I understand… it seems to be hostile towards those who just showed a tendency to ‘fight each other’!"

"And the two guys that were eaten really did start a fight!"

One mercenary said this, and everyone was momentarily surprised, re-confirming the route of the giant snake.

Each stay and every place of intense conflict…

Matches up!

Although they were unwilling to believe it, this seemed to be the most reasonable answer at the moment.

This creature is warning everyone not to kill each other!

But everyone suddenly felt a little disillusioned.

The monster that drove everyone here is now acting as a sheriff and peacekeeper?

Any monster that fights will eat the other?

This is too ridiculous!

Only Lolth and the others, who knew this possibility from the beginning, remained calm.

After all, those who control the monsters do not want to see any fighting happen.

Since they couldn’t find out who was stirring things up, scaring this group of mercenaries was a good choice.

From the way these mercenaries are staying still…

This trick really works and can even be said to be quite good.

"This way of doing things is indeed very royal," Krado said while stroking his chin, "When Miss Raven said these were royal people, I was a bit skeptical, but now seeing their first reaction to a problem is to kill to show their power, I’m having my doubts…"

"The South Sotua people…"

Florence sighed.

"Looking on the bright side, at least they are taking charge," Hood said thoughtfully, then looked at the giant snake, "But if that’s the case, isn’t the ‘Julie’ lady who just killed in danger?"

Hood casually mentioned this, and everyone was momentarily stunned, looking towards Julie.

The girl seemed to realize her danger and gripped her dagger tightly again.

"Stay away from me!"

She shouted at the team members around her, waving her hands to disperse them.

The mercenaries of the "Fish Eye" group hesitated when they heard Julie’s words.

But Julie shouted at them eagerly again.

"Don’t worry about me… I’m fine—you’re too weak to help me."

Saying this, Julie looked up at the sky.

The giant serpent’s head was slowly turning in her direction.

She gritted her teeth.

She was an epic-level Middle Level ranger.

That monster was a legend-level Middle Level creature…

Although she couldn’t win, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Julie comforted herself like this.

But deep down, Julie knows.

She is most likely doomed!

And it’s not just Julie.

Lolth understands even better that there is a huge gap between epic and legend levels, which leads to overwhelming strength.

If that giant serpent truly wants to wipe out anyone who just attacked…

Then this little girl is as good as dead.

So, Lolth watched the giant serpent turn its head, caught in a dilemma.

Although most of the mercenaries deserve their fate… from the reactions of the "Fish Eye" mercenaries, it seems that this little girl is not so bad in how she treats others.

The "Fish Eye" group has gone from glory to decline, but its reputation has always been decent; it is well-known for not taking "dishonorable black contracts" and is a righteous mercenary group.

Before coming here, Lolth inquired about it, and learned that in recent years, the "Victory" and "Fish Eye" teams are rare "good-hearted" mercenary groups among many in the United Kingdom of South Sotua.

She always felt that this little girl could make a difference.

Moreover, whether or not she was from the Royal Agency of the United Kingdom of South Sotua, she found it uneasy about the way the other side controlled monsters to kill without mercy.

After a brief moment of thought, Lolth made a decision.

"I will help as much as I can…"

She was still a kind person at heart.

At that moment, the giant snake also turned its head towards Julie.

Just a moment later, the giant snake moved again.

But this time, it seemed to realize that its opponent was "epic," so the giant snake did not charge directly.

The giant snake opened its wide mouth, and two streams of yellow-green poison, filled with powerful magic, shot out from its poisonous fangs!

"Hiss—"

The two streams of yellow-green poison, like arrows, shot straight towards the spot where Julie stood!

However, Julie, as the legendary ranger Sneaker, was not completely defenseless; the moment the giant snake looked at her, she tensed up completely!

So, even though the giant snake’s poison attack surprised her, she was not caught off guard!

Although the poison was extremely fast, Julie managed to shift her body just in time to dodge it.

The poison splashed onto the stone, making a sizzling sound as if it were going to eat through the rock.

Suddenly, greenish smoke began to rise above the stone.

Caught off guard, Julie hadn’t steadied herself yet when the greenish smoke wrapped around her, causing her to cough, "Cough, cough."

She had a look of pain on her face, and blood was oozing from her mouth and nose; it was clear that she was affected by the poisonous mist created by the venom.

Although she quickly wrapped herself in magic and did not get hit directly by the venom, the poison from the legendary giant snake… even a little was enough to harm her!

Moreover, the giant snake did not stop after spraying the venom—this was not a turn-based game!

While Julie was distracted by the poisonous mist, the giant snake moved again.

The enormous snake head struck towards Julie like lightning, its open mouth ready to swallow her whole.

In this critical moment…

On the rock where Lolth and the others were, two figures suddenly vanished!

Behind Julie, a small pale hand reached out, pulling her out of the poisonous mist and dragging her back a long way!

Before the snake head could come down, Julie had already escaped its attack range.

But…

The snake’s head wouldn’t come down!
