Chapter 185: Midnight Beach
Chapter 185: Midnight Beach
“Use all my strength…explode everything for me aaaaaaaa!!”
As he roared, the dark magic turned into a huge shock wave, blasting towards the vast area ahead with tremendous force.
Of course, Xu Zhen and the others were also caught up in it. Thanks to the help of Lopur and Lati, they barely avoided a direct hit, but the situation was still bad.
They were blown away violently and were falling off the cliff in front of them, screaming as they fell, along with trees, rocks and soil, and rushed straight towards the river flowing below.
As the dust cleared, Russell adjusted his heavy breathing and looked around. He walked slowly across the desolate ground, trying to feel the surrounding atmosphere. But there was no one. In this way, the result was obvious.
"Really? They fell down... At this height, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive."
He felt a surge of excitement. Finally, he was free of those annoying enemies. This made Russell smile, and soon, he laughed out loud.
“…Huh, hahahaha, hahahaha!!”
His figure, with his arms outstretched and laughing loudly towards the sky, looked like a symbol of madness to others, and his laughter seemed to echo in the forest endlessly.

In a quiet river beach southwest of the Elven village, a young man in a dark blue robe and a black hood is talking to a killer eagle.
Monster researcher Jacklen showed a surprised expression and said to Killer Eagle: "I understand, please rescue them immediately."
The killer eagle nodded in agreement and flew away immediately. Looking at the direction it flew, Jacklen narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "I actually let Lesak do what he wanted... I was so careless."
By the time he realized it, it was too late. The trap had already been activated, resulting in the loss of Xu Zhen and his group.
He felt like he had been looking for a way out, and he felt really stupid. But that was all in the past. There were more important things to do now.
As Jacklon thought this, he began to prepare the bonfire.
(Xu Zhen, I will definitely come to save you. Don’t die in a place like this.)
He lit the firewood, and the flames blazed brightly above the neatly stacked logs. Soon the orange flames began to crackle. Soon the call of the killer eagle could be heard from the river upstream.

Brenda fell in the forest and was taken care of by Courtney and others who happened to pass by. Although she was in a terrible state, she was finally treated and the worst situation was avoided.
Lying on the ground, Brenda whispered, "Thank you... I was saved thanks to you."
"You're welcome. I'm glad you're safe. You should have a good rest." Courtney smiled as she wrung out the wet towel.
Next to him, Alicia, Oliver and Jill were preparing food. At this moment, Jill came back from picking up some fruits and sighed.
"Even Miss Brenda can't do anything about him. He's too powerful."
"Indeed, I'm afraid our words won't have any effect."
"If it's a head-on confrontation, we might not be able to escape... but we must find a way." Alicia said firmly as she split the nut with a knife. Oliver smiled bitterly and threw more firewood into the campfire.
"Yes, that's right. It's our responsibility as partners to wake her up."
"Yeah. I agree." Jill nodded after hearing Oliver's words. Courtney came over while twisting the towel: "But first, we have to send Miss Brenda back to the village."
Courtney's words made Alicia nod first: "Well, we should also tell Mr. Sergio about this. Do you two have any objections?"
"No objection. When I have finished my meal I will carry Miss Brenda on my back."
"It's not okay to leave her here."
Oliver and Jill also agreed, and the next move of the four was officially determined. At this time, Alicia looked towards the direction of the forest and prayed silently in her heart.
(I feel like this is a bad omen. Xu Zhen... I hope you are safe.)
At that moment, laughter floated in the wind, but Alicia and others did not notice it.
————————————————————
The sound of flowing water could be heard. There was also a crackling sound. At this moment, Xu Zhen was lying on the ground.
After gradually waking up, Xu Zhen thought so.
What on earth am I doing?
Closing his eyes and recalling, he remembered the battle in the forest. And how they fell off the cliff. How he was completely unable to defeat Russell, who was obsessed with darkness.
(It seems that I am lying on the grass. I can feel the touch of the grass. But why did I survive?)
Thinking of getting up to check first, Xu Zhen slowly opened his eyes and saw Slakic's face.
"Tweet!"
Before their eyes made contact, Slakic made a joyful cry. Thanks to it, although Xu Zhen did not shout out, he was stunned at the moment.
Noticing the sound, Lim and Lopur also approached Slakic. Then they both happily pounced on Xu Zhen's face.
"Chirp!"
“Coo-coo!”
"Hey... stop and leave me alone."
After trying to break free from Kailopur, Xu Zhen sat up. There was a bonfire next to him, and the river was flowing peacefully. Behind the bonfire, a figure was eating a lot of nuts and fruits.
“Hoohahaha, Ahahahaha! (Master, it’s great that you’re awake!)”
"…I don't understand what you're saying. Wait until you swallow it."
Although it was a little creepy, Xu Zhen was not particularly surprised because after experiencing the battle, he already realized that it would turn out like this.
At the same time, Xu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief deep in his heart. At least everyone was safe and sound, there was no doubt about that. Just then, the grass rustled and a young man appeared.
"Oh, Xu Zhen, it seems you are awake."
The young man in a dark blue robe and a black hood said with a smile. This person was not unfamiliar to Xu Zhen.
"Jacklen...Did you save me?"
"Well. I'm glad that you are safe. But the greatest credit should go to those monsters." Jacklon turned and looked behind, where there were wild monsters such as the killer eagle.
Although it was not clear in the dark, they were obviously waiting quietly. It was unclear whether Jacklun was leading them or they were temporary allies, but at least for now, they had no hostility towards Xu Zhen and his men.
“I see. Thank you. It’s all thanks to you.”
Although Xu Zhen thanked the monsters, they did not react. Just when he was wondering if they hated him, Jacklun spoke.
"Don't worry about it. They have completed their mission and there is no need to contact them. That's all. Compared to this-"
