Chapter 245: Diversion of Trouble

After traveling for four days, Lugh barely managed to enter Hepeng Valley.

In the past four days, the main attacker was still the Stormhawk.

“Screech!”

The Stormhawk screeched.

“Have you found the situation?” Lugh nodded. “Then let’s go and take a look.”

In the high sky, Lugh did not see anything.

The Stormhawk immediately turned to the right and flew forward.

After a while, the forest gradually decreased. Lugh saw a volcanic crater that was emitting thick smoke.

From a distance, he could smell a pungent smell of sulfur.

Then, he saw a large amount of flames and smoke not far from the crater. Occasionally, a powerful pillar of fire would be shot up into the sky.

Not long after, Lugh saw the scene below clearly.

Over a hundred Blazing Flame Lizards went on a rampage, madly chasing after a team of Beast Masters.

The Blazing Flame Lizards continued to shoot out flames, igniting all the trees and grass nearby.

Apart from that, there were five Red Flame Lizards in the sky. They were also crazily attacking the two Platinum-level pet beasts.

On the back of one of the Platinum-level pet beasts stood a tall woman.

That woman had used her ice-type skills to assist the two Platinum-tier pet beasts. Dealing with the five Red Flame Lizards seemed to be a little strenuous.

However, if it weren’t for the fact that she was dealing with the five adult Red Flame Lizards, the remaining Gold-tier Beast Masters would have all died.

The adult Blazing Flame Lizards couldn’t fly. They had Gold-tier strength and powerful fire-type attack power.

The adult Red Flame Lizard was a flying type Platinum-grade beast. It did not fly fast, but it had thick skin and was very difficult to deal with.

The two types of beasts had a certain degree of kinship. They were able to coexist peacefully and liked to live near the crater.

This group of adventurers had actually provoked the Red Flame Lizards and the Blazing Flame Lizards. They were really unlucky.

Lugh stood in the distance, observing this group of adventurers. He did not make a move.

In the wild, adventurers and mercenary groups weren’t necessarily good people.

Besides, this place was too close to the crater.

He wanted to take down five Platinum-grade Red Flame Lizards and hundreds of Blazing Flame Lizards.

It was in Lugh’s interest to let these unlucky fellows help lure the Red Flame Lizards and Blazing Flame Lizards further away.

According to the books, the Red Flame Lizards and Blazing Flame Lizards liked to bathe in the lava.

If they ran into the lava and hid, Lugh wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

As for whether or not these people would die, Lugh didn’t really care.

Adventurers and mercenary groups were mostly risking their lives for profit.

If they were from the military, Lugh would have attacked without a second thought.

Not long after, the female Platinum-tier Beast Master who was fighting glanced in Lugh’s direction.

Lugh, who was watching the battle from the side, heard her shout, “Sir, is it really okay to just stand by and watch?”

When she looked at Lugh, Lugh also saw her face.

She was tall and had exquisite features. She also had a head of snow-white long hair, looking extremely cold and elegant.

Even Lugh was stunned by her beauty at first glance.

She was indeed a beauty.

Sitting on the Stormhawk’s back, Lugh waved his hand and laughed. “Aiya, I’m just passing by. The Red Flame Lizard is too strong. I can’t beat it, I can’t beat it.”

As he spoke, he was about to order the Stormhawk to soar into the sky.

Now wasn’t the time for him to make a move.

He would only consider making a move after the Platinum-tier Beast Master left and the Red Flame Lizards and Blazing Flame Lizards were lured further away.

In any case, he believed that this Platinum-tier female Beast Master would definitely not die.

Just as Lugh was about to leave, the Platinum-tier female Beast Master sneered and said, “Since you’re here, help me share some of the pressure. Just buy me some time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she commanded a pale blue eagle to lead two Red Flame Lizards towards Lugh.

The three Platinum-tier Beast Masters flew at an extremely fast speed.

They were attracting trouble from the east.

Lugh’s pupils constricted.

He didn’t expect the other party to be so ruthless.

As expected, any Beast Master who dared to enter the depths of Hepeng Valley wouldn’t be a kind person.

Originally, Lugh wanted to leave.

But now, he didn’t want to leave.

Didn’t he enter Hepeng Valley to look for Platinum-tier Fierce Beasts to level up?

Now that things were good, he was going to give them an extra one.

Why did he have to leave?

“Stormhawk, kill them all!”

Lugh pointed at the Azure Eagle and the two Red Flame Lizards that were charging over.

With a flash of white light, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly appeared.

It was lying on the back of the Stormhawk, spreading its beautiful, colorful wings. It was as quiet as a lady.

“Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, cooperate with the Stormhawk to attack.”

In the distance, the female Beast Master cooperated with her Wind Cloud Eagle to deal with the three Red Flame Lizards. She quickly gained the upper hand.

She didn’t look in Lugh’s direction. Instead, she looked at her remaining six subordinates. They were still being chased by over a hundred blazing flame lizards.

It wasn’t that they didn’t have flying-type pet beasts. Instead, their flying-type pet beasts were either dead or seriously injured.

“You guys hold on a little longer. I’ll come and save you guys right away.”

She thought very simply. When the two Red Flame Lizards had their eyes on that unlucky guy, she would withdraw the Azure Eagle.

As long as she was seriously injured or defeated the three Red Flame Lizards in front of her, she would be able to free up her hands and leave with all six of her subordinates.

As for that unlucky guy, whether he could hold off the two Red Flame Lizards or not, she still had some confidence in him.

The Stormhawk had the potential to grow at the Star Glory-tier, and its speed was extremely fast.

Even if it was only Top-tier Gold, its combat strength should still be quite impressive.

Under the siege of the two Platinum-tier Red Flame Lizards, it would not be a problem for it to struggle for a period of time.

As for whether the other party would die, of course, it would be best if he died.

“I understand, Miss Lucy.”

Just as Lucy was about to deal with the three Red Flame Lizards in front of her, she suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the Azure Eagle in the distance.

Because just now, the Azure Eagle’s spiritual connection with her had been cut off.

There were only three possibilities for such a situation.

One was that the Azure Eagle had died.

One was that it had defected.

The other was that it had been controlled.

What Lucy saw was that the Azure Eagle did not listen to her orders. It led the two Red Flame Lizards and charged at the unlucky guy. Instead, it changed its direction and directly engaged in close combat with the two Red Flame Lizards.

In a melee battle with the two Red Flame Lizards, she would never give such a brainless order.

Mind control?

A very bad premonition arose in Lucy’s mind.

Right at this moment, countless green wind blades crazily attacked the three Platinum-tier beasts.

Lucy originally wanted to mock the Gold-tier Beast Master for overestimating his own abilities. He still didn’t know how to run at this moment.

He actually took out a Gold-tier beast to attack the three Platinum-tier beasts?

However, when she saw the Azure Eagle and the Red Flame Lizards’ flesh split open from the attack of the green wind blades, their blood splattering in the air, she was completely dumbfounded.

Right at this moment, a pillar of fire attacked her.

She barely dodged the pillar of fire, but she smelled the smell of burnt feathers.

Her beautiful long hair was on fire.

She put out the fire in a sorry state and commanded the Wind Cloud Eagle to shake off the three Red Flame Lizards. When she looked in the direction of the Azure Eagle, her eyes were bloodshot with anger.

The Azure Eagle landed on the ground, dying the nearby grass red.

Its head and one of its wings had flown off to god knows where.

It was dead!

Her Azure Eagle was dead.

This Azure Eagle was her first pet beast.

She looked into the sky and saw a Platinum-tier Red Flame Lizard falling from the sky. Its abdomen, which was covered in hard scales, had been broken open by some unknown attack, and all of its internal organs were exposed.

The remaining Platinum-tier Red Flame Lizard was using its sharp claws to stab its big mouth full of fangs.

A Fierce Beast committed suicide?

No!

This was definitely controlled.

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Stormhawk, has been upgraded to Top-Tier Gold.]

Hearing the upgrade notification of the Stormhawk, Lugh decisively ordered the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly to kill one of the Red Flame Lizard.

Looking at Lugh’s military uniform, Lucy felt that she had caused huge trouble.

Terrifying frost gushed out from her hands. The three Red Flame Lizards were instantly covered in a layer of frost. Then, they fell straight to the ground.

After using this move, Lucy’s face turned extremely pale.

“Wind Cloud Eagle, bring them and run quickly.”

The Wind Cloud Eagle received the order, and with a dive, it grabbed the six gold-tier Beast Masters running on the ground with its claws, escaping into the distance.

Lucy turned to look at the Gold-tier Beast Master of the emergency team. “Wind Cloud Eagle, run away from here as fast as you can.”

Of course, she knew that killing the other party was the best choice.

However, she felt that she wasn’t the other party’s match.

She didn’t even have the ability to kill three Platinum-tier Fierce Beasts in less than three minutes.
