Chapter 458: Neither Serpent Nor Fish
On the Green Sea Grasslands, practically every monster possessed the ability to change its color, making it impossible to detect with the naked eye.
But the one before them was an exception.
Lin Moyu could spot it from afar—a faint lantern dangled from the top of its head, its dim yellow glow stubbornly unchanged even as the creature’s body shifted hues to blend with the surroundings.
Jialan Lieyang spoke up, “Brother Lin, you should fall back. Once the fight begins, I’m afraid you’ll get caught in the crossfire. This thing’s AoE attacks aren’t something to take lightly.”
Without a word, Lin Moyu retreated several hundred meters.
Jialan Lieyang’s ten-man party had a distinctive composition: two Healers, two supports, and five Mages.
It wasn’t a typical setup, clearly tailored for the lantern-bearing monster ahead.
The supports quickly cast status buffs, while the Healers readied themselves.
“Let’s go! Stay sharp, everyone!” With a low shout, Jialan Lieyang surged forward.
It seemed he’d locked onto the monster’s position, descending from the sky like a meteor and crashing into it with tremendous force.
Lin Moyu was slightly surprised. As a level 82 Sacred Word Knight, Jialan Lieyang’s combat strength spoke for itself.
Such a direct, full-powered strike was bound to provoke a counterattack from the Sword Grass.
