Chapter 719: Escape or Not

'Really?...what are those?'

While transmitting the message, Avis suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance as if he sensed something.

From the horizon as far as the eye can see, there seems to be a group of vague black spots flying towards this side.

"…These are just minor problems, not dangerous, and they will be fine! Also, I can now control some of my bad luck traits, so they won't be indiscriminate like before."

She was making assurances one second, but something suddenly went wrong the next. Claire's expression was a little stiff, but she still cheered herself up and tried to defend herself.

"It seems that your condition has indeed improved a lot, Senior Claire."

However, after seeing the flying being clearly, Avis nodded, acknowledging Claire's words.

"What are those things?"

As Avis and Claire turned their heads, the rest of the team also noticed the black spots approaching in the sky.

"The Nightmare Ravens are a group of third-level gregarious monsters, but there are usually several fourth-level leader ravens among them. Once the group becomes large, even sixth-level monsters will not dare to provoke them easily.

It is said that once someone is touched by their black feathers that condense the power of curse, they will die in agony in an endless nightmare, and it is said that even their souls cannot escape!"

The experienced middle-aged leader quickly recognized the identity of the incoming flock of birds and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Run, find a place to hide in the forest over there! Although the Nightmare Ravens are dangerous, they are nocturnal bird monsters with average vision during the day. As long as we don't make too much noise, they shouldn't be able to spot us."

Hearing this, the travelers immediately began to desperately run towards the distant forest area. Any magic items that could speed up their escape were used without hesitation.

Although it looks far away, the other party is flying in the sky. If you are stingy now, you may end up leaving it to be buried with you later.

"But why would a Nightmare Raven, a nocturnal monster, appear during the day?!"

While running desperately, the leader was still wondering about the origin of the crows.

"I'm afraid that the Nightmare Ravens living in their original territory were disturbed by something and appeared during the day."

At this time, a voice from far behind answered the leader's question.

"What are you waiting for?! Run for your lives!"

After reluctantly turning his head to take a look, the team leader's expression changed drastically.

Behind them, both the half-elf girl who had traveled with them before, and the mysterious blue-eyed handsome boy who came later, were now standing where they were, with no intention of escaping.

"Run, Miss Claire!"

The young man in leather armor also changed color. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stopped and then rushed back desperately, as if he was planning to escape with Claire.

The other travelers did not look back, but ran faster.

After all, if there were a few decoys behind them, their chances of escape would be a little greater.

"Are you familiar with him?"

Looking at the young man who rushed back in fear, and the other members of the team who escaped, Avis looked at Claire with some confusion.

"Everyone in the brigade is usually very enthusiastic. Since I'm always prone to getting into trouble when traveling alone, it's better to hide my strength and join a team."

Nodding slightly, Claire explained her current situation.

"I can now actively gather some of the 'bad luck' that is entangled with me. So, although I still encounter accidents, the degree of danger of these accidents is usually not beyond the handling range of my companions.

This way, I will encounter much less trouble. As long as I don't actively expose my power, the level of doom will not become too high, and they alone will be enough to deal with it..."

Looking at the team running in all directions, Claire's voice sounded a little unsure.

"In short, even if there is a danger that cannot be resisted, escape is still possible. And in return, I am also prepared to send them safely to the royal capital, which is our original destination of the journey."

"I see."

With a look of understanding, Avis nodded.

"Well then, let's send them to the capital first and then continue our conversation."

"Hey, are you crazy?! You don't want to chat in this kind of place?!"

At this time, the young man in leather armor finally ran to the side of the two men. After roaring, he suddenly grasped the amulet on his chest with his right hand, and the light blue magic brilliance of the wind element immediately attached to the bodies of Avis and the other man.

“Run!”

The young man looked at the amulet that had completely dimmed with pain, and suddenly grabbed Claire's hand, ready to pull her away to run away.

However, before he touched the girl, he suddenly realized that his body was out of control!

"What the hell is going on!?"

He was not the only one. Several members of the temporary brigade who had escaped earlier were horrified to find that their bodies seemed to be fixed in mid-air by some unknown force, completely unable to move.

Without waiting for them to continue thinking about it, after locking everyone's position, Avis snapped his fingers lightly.

Therefore, everyone in the brigade only felt a flash before their eyes, and the next moment, they found themselves in front of the city gate of the royal capital.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“What… is going on?”

Everyone was stunned at the sight of the grand city gate that suddenly appeared before their eyes, and the pedestrians around them looking at them in surprise.

"That Miss Claire and her friends are probably not ordinary professionals..."

After a moment's silence, the leader looked in the distance in the direction where they were previously, and spoke in a low voice.

"Wait, when Miss Claire greeted me just now, she mentioned the name Anvis. I seem to have heard it somewhere before!"

Listening to the leader's words, a professional next to him suddenly scratched his head in confusion.

"I used to live in the province of Karlas. As far as I can remember, a celebration was held one year to celebrate the birth of a descendant of the Duke named Anvis..."

Another professional introduced himself mutteringly, and at the end, everyone fell silent.

"Okay, stop discussing the affairs of those big shots, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself!"

Finally, the older team leader personally put an end to the incident.

Since they had arrived at their destination, everyone said goodbye to each other and then went their separate ways.

Walking in the broad streets of the capital with a somewhat depressed mood, the young man in leather armor suddenly felt that there seemed to be something extra in his pocket.

"ring?"

He instinctively reached out and touched it, and the moment his fingers touched the object, a brief message was transmitted into his mind.

"This is a thank you gift for the two light body techniques."

At the same time, a miniature projection of Avis suddenly condensed, put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly to the young man, and then turned into mist and dispersed again.

"…Avis?"

Gently holding the ring, sensing the wind attribute magic in it, which was obviously much more abundant than his own amulet, the young man looked up at the sky, silent. . ….….On the other side, after seeing off the group, Avis and Claire sat down on the soft grass again. Their eyes unconsciously crossed, and they smiled knowingly at each other, everything was said without words.

Neither of them paid any attention to the flock of Nightmare Ravens approaching from a distance.

"Claire, can you tell me about your journey?"

"Of course, actually..."

As Claire narrated the story calmly, a thrilling adventure gradually took shape in Anvis' mind.
