Chapter 178: Fell Beast Encounter
"Boss Hal, we’re close!" Rocky stated, staring into the near distance, where some of their targets should be roaming.
It seemed that the redwood forest extended far past the valley and would be the biome of the small war in the southeast.
"Shh! Would it kill you not to shout?!" reprimanded the timid squad leader, Yhohan.
"Then why are you shouting yourself, wuss?!"
Rocky was not one to be outdone in a battle of tongues.
Fortunately, Hao had already predicted that such a dumb thing would happen and had activated the sound isolation device he brought with him, deactivating it soon after the argument.
It was running on a limited mana crystal battery, after all.
"Now let’s stop fighting. Just accept that both of you are idiots and follow me. Let Boss Hal and his squad take care of a marked area as planned." mediated Hao, adjusting his combat goggles and momentarily activating the sound isolation device once more...
"You’re the idiot!! Short nerd!!" sharply retorted the two in unison.
...before deactivating it again.
Meanwhile, Hal’s eyes were closed, his vision focused on the Spirit Sparrow.
He hadn’t encountered Fell Beasts before, so he took extra caution by activating his summon’s invisibility, spending a few more mana for sustenance in exchange for safety.
