Chapter 94: Rank 4 Poison Toad
The poison toad, seeing that its attack didn’t kill anyone, let out a loud croak in frustration. However, everyone had already spread out far beyond the reach of its tongue.
The man with the severed arm had taught all of them a lesson. None of them wanted to be the next example. Before, they had been a bit lazy and overconfident.
Why shouldn’t they be? They were travelling with the Young Mistress of the Vyre family. One of the twelve great families on the continent. They weren’t stupid.
They knew that someone of her standing would surely have a protector. And they were right. They all believed that the Elder standing next to her wasn’t just there for guidance.
They believed that as long as they stuck close to her, they would be safe. However, reality slapped them in the face.
Barely a few seconds into facing their first challenge, and they had almost lost a man. There were about twenty individuals in their group, including Belladonna and Elder Glenda.
Half of them were cultivators from the Vyre family who accompanied Belladonna on this trip as her entourage and protectors.
The other half were warriors provided by City Lord Richards as a token of respect from him. When they heard that they would be accompanying the Young Mistress of the Vyre family, they were immensely excited.
Some of them even had faint dreams of using this chance to join the Vyre family. As long as they could impress the Young Miss on this trip, there was a chance she would take them back with them.
It was the equivalent of rising to the heavens in a single step. Now it seemed that their dreams were just that... dreams. It was only the first challenge, yet they were in such bad shape.
Some of them could even see the faint glimmer of disappointment in her eyes. The man who lost his arm was one of the warriors provided by City Lord Richards.
