Chapter 853: Chapter 515: Deputy Legion Commander Yalvis, the Rapids Tribe’s Response

The reason for Zong Shen’s tension was simple.

It was because of Yalvis’s Lion Skeleton Knight, suspected to be a Deputy Legion Commander.

It also possessed the ability to tame other Skeleton Knights.

If they ran, it was one thing, but running west and running east led to different outcomes.

If they went west, there was a high chance they would encounter the Lion Skeleton Knights he left behind.

At that time, there was a significant probability that they would all be led away.

Going east, however, was somewhat better.

These Overlord Level undead were powerful, and wherever they went, they would be despots.

Later, Zong Shen could use the Guide Module to track them.

They couldn’t escape.

For now, he could only watch helplessly as these guys entered the eastern forest, soon disappearing without a trace.

Eating has to be done bit by bit; it’s quite ambitious to try to have it all at once 555[].

Mainly because Zong Shen hadn’t anticipated there being another powerhouse nearly as strong as Richardson here.

Just as he was sighing by the trap.

Baron Bezos also arrived with the warriors.

"Are you okay, Younger Brother Zong?"

"What happened to the Lion Skeleton Knight just now?"

He asked with concern, also inquiring about the destination of the Skeleton Knights.

Zong Shen raised his hand and pointed towards the eastern forest, making a discreet gesture.

"They all went into the eastern woods."

"Everyone, stay away from the trap."

"When those Skeleton Knights emerged earlier, they alerted the Fishman Sentinels."

"Their attention is still focused on the east."

"If too many people come out, it will draw attention."

Zong Shen reminded them, better safe than sorry.

Especially since those Fishmen’s attention was all directed to the east.

Those guys were wary of this place, and even though they watched a unit of Skeleton Knights run out, they had no intention of investigating.

This was a good thing for Bezos and Zong Shen.

However, it didn’t mean they could all leave the ruins and stand here conspicuously.

Hearing Zong Shen’s words, Baron Bezos nodded and led the warriors back the way they came.

Zong Shen and Reese remained in place, and when only two people were speaking at such a distance, it was indeed safe.

He observed a bit longer and confirmed that those Lion Skeleton Knights had indeed moved away. Then he had Reese use Flash to take him back to the underground ruin.

The underground space was very special and could be located only after being reached.

After the blue light flashed, Zong Shen and Reese Ulysses appeared beside Baron Bezos.

"Younger Brother Zong..."

"Why did the Lion Skeleton Knights suddenly retreat just now?"

It seemed Baron Bezos was tormented by this question.

When Zong Shen appeared, he immediately voiced his query.

To this, Zong Shen just chuckled.

His next response made Baron Bezos a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe, why would Baron Bezos think I would know the reason?"

"Uh..."

Baron Bezos was speechless; for the first time, he realized Zong Shen’s presence completely overshadowed his own.

Just as he was about to mutter something and find an excuse.

Zong Shen spoke again to elaborate.

"Because of the Knightly Spirit."

"Remember that guy with the shield who created a Golden Shield?"

Hearing this, Baron Bezos thought carefully and quickly nodded.

"I remember; its battle helmet was very distinctive."

"Usually, those who use feathers as adornments are high-tier commanders of the legion."

"At least at the level of a Legion Commander, including deputies."

With this in mind, Baron Bezos also realized some key points.

Combining the information he knew, he thought of a few things.

Zong Shen nodded, his tone once again calm.

"That guy just now was the Deputy Legion Commander."

"The reason it didn’t attack us was entirely due to the influence of Knightly Spirit."

"This influence is limited, not excluding the possibility of their return."

"So I suggest we proceed with the excavation immediately."

"Once we solve this last passage, let’s return right away."

It was rare to see Zong Shen urging proactively.

In fact, he had already achieved his purpose for this trip.

He could completely withdraw safely.

However, based on the principle of not leaving any detail missed.

He would wait until the last channel exploration was complete.

After all, those ancient standard equipment pieces were quite good.

The worst was still Rare Level.

Even opening a Silver Treasure Chest would, at most, contain Rare Level equipment.

Baron Bezos shared the same thought.

"I understand, so let’s begin excavation now."

He nodded in agreement without further probing.

Zong Shen made it clear.

Even though Knightly Spirit is a nebulous thing.

It is an inseparable part of the will.

Baron Bezos quickly left to arrange the workers for excavation.

The two Rodok soldiers in charge of driving the Drilling Machine also received Zong Shen’s permission.

They entered the Drilling Machine to assist with the excavation.

Only Zong Shen remained standing there, an inexplicable gloom emerging in his heart, lingering on.

This feeling was intense, similar to the oppressive sensation before a thunderstorm.

"What’s going on?"

"Could Yalvis’s departure be a trap?"

He paced back and forth, his steps not fast but heavy.

The soil mixed with gravel lightly scraped against the sole of his war boots.

This vague worry became increasingly apparent, prompting Zong Shen to consult the Guide.
