Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 121 Canoes

"There's nothing we can do."

Guo Chen's face looked bitter after hearing his answer. Other members looked the same, they had gloomy expressions on their faces. They could not bear to witness their leader being eaten alive. The worst thing was that they couldn't do anything about it.

However, luck was still on Ling Tian's side.

In the midst of that hopeless situation, from above the sky, dozens of fire arrows suddenly fell and pierced the crocodiles. Instantly, the cold-blooded monsters screamed as the burning arrows stabbed into their bodies. Some of them died, some quickly dived into the water.

The Golden Dragon members cheered happily. Their leader finally escaped from the grip of the death.

Meanwhile, Isaac smiled broadly. On the other side of the forest, he saw dozens of hunters with various colored armor riding in canoes. In one of the canoes, there was an old man with grey hair and a grumpy look. That old man raised his sword while saying, "Slaughter those goddamn monsters!"

The crocodile monsters scattered in the face of the surprise attack. They let go of Ling Tian and fled. The canoe-borne troops repulsed them in a matter of minutes.

Isaac naturally seized the opportunity. After they stopped shooting fiery arrows, he called for his men to dive into the strait.

"Secure Ling Tian! Kill the injured crocodile monsters!"

"Aye!"

With fervor, both Nine Sky and Golden Dragon threw themselves into the water and attacked the cold-blooded monsters.

This decision was a bit dangerous, but it was a golden opportunity to boost the hunter's morale. What's more, with their leader in critical condition, their morale must be high.

And Isaac's decision was right.

In an unfavorable terrain, his men were able to finish off the crocodile monsters. They fought ferociously, without hesitation coming at them, and brutally killing each crocodile monster. There were even one or two monsters that tried to escape that were chased down and killed on the spot.

The murky water turned red. Crocodile corpses floated in the river.

"Save the leader!"

Of course not all were drowning in madness and anger. There were still some sensible people who prioritized Ling Tian's safety. Four Golden Dragon members pulled that man to the edge.

The man's face still looked calm even though he was almost eaten alive by hundreds of crocodiles. His leg was torn and continued to bleed. The people who saw him looked worried.

In order to look humanized, Isaac played his role. He examined the man's near-death condition. His hands inspected the injured leg, then deftly wrapped it in a clean clot. This was first aid.

"How does it feel after swimming among crocodiles?" Isaac asked in a joking tone, trying to break the ice.

Ling Tian hissed. "It was an amazing experience. I won't forget it." Then the man winced widely. The looks on people's faces were relieved.

"At least our search wasn't in vain. We managed to find them," Ling Tian added.

Isaac turned to the saviors with their canoes. They seemed to be helping Golden Dragon and Nine Sky fight against the monster.

Among them, there was a familiar figure in his eyes, a short-haired woman with dual blade weapons. It had been a long time since he had last seen her.

[Name: Wang Mei]

[Race: Human]

[Type: N/A]

[Class: A]

[Level: 56]

Wang Mei helped her men by shooting arrows at the crocodiles. All the members of Nine Sky were excited by that woman's arrival.

"Wow! None Wang Mei!"

"Chief! She's safe!"

Joy could be seen in their smiles. Wang Mei, however, looked the opposite.

"Focus on the battle!"

For a moment, the faces of that female subordinates looked surprised, then they put on serene faces. "Yes, ma'am."

Isaac smiled at their actions. His expression fell flat again when he saw one of the canoes pull over.

A forty-year-old man with a stern gaze stood at the front of the canoe. His face was covered in scratches that showed how much battle experience he had. The old man puffed out his chest as he stepped off the canoe.

Isaac's attention turned to Ling Tian. That charismatic man asked his members to help him up. The arrival of the old man forced him to look dignified.

A sigh escaped his mouth when he saw Ling Tian struggling to stand.

"The boring charade is about to begin," Isaac muttered.

Arriving before Isaac and Ling Tian, the old man smiled broadly. His hand patted Ling Tian's shoulder as if meeting an old friend.

"I didn't expect to see the Golden Dragon and its leader here. It must be the government that sent you," said the old man.

"Yes, as you can see, Senior Cheng Ho. We were sent to save you, but the opposite happened." Ling Tiap replied humbly.

Seeing Ling Tian trying to smile even though his leg was in excruciating pain made Isaac laugh inwardly. He knew how burdensome being a leader was. No matter what the situation was, a leader had to look strong; and Ling Tian was doing that right now.

Besides, Isaac was a little interested in Cheng Ho after seeing his status.

<Information>

[Name: Cheng Ho]

[Race: Human]

[Type: N/A]

[Class: C] 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

[Level: 49]

In his eyes, Cheng Ho was neither weak nor strong. You could say he was average. Nevertheless, the old man was able to lead a raid so far, that mean his talent as a leader could not be underestimated. Only a few people were able to make it to this stage.

"This human is pretty good."

Isaac tried to hold back a grin.

Cheng Ho frowned. The old man noticed the wound on Ling Tian's leg. "You're injured, didn't you bring a healer?"

"They're helping other members," Ling Tian replied. "I always ordered them to prioritize the battle first."

"A wise decision." Cheng Ho nodded, as if the old man agreed. Although the look in his eyes said otherwise.

The Phoenix Armda Guild Leader ordered one of his men to get off the ship. A healer arrived and quickly treated the wound on Ling Tian's leg. Green light illuminated the torn skin of the leg, instantly closing the wound.

A relieved expression was shown on Ling Tian's face. "Thank you."

"It's our duty to help others." Cheng He once again smiled. The old man's attention turned to Isaac, his eyes looking up and down.

Isaac just smiled while squinting. He didn't like himself being judged. Under ordinary circumstances, he would have cut his head in half. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

"Judging from the characteristics of your combat gear, you're from Nine Sky. I've never met you before." Cheng Ho made a curious face.

Isaac smiled in response to the old man's response. "My name is Isaac Constantine. I've only been with Nine Sky for a few months, as a new member instructor."

Cheng HO simply nodded. Upon hearing his position, the interest vanished from the eyes of the bearded man. This was enough to make Isaac raise one of his eyebrows. He was annoyed, but still managed to hold it in.

"You're lucky to work under Wang Mei. That woman is quite good."

Cheng Ho's words sounded like nonsense to his ears. Isaac just huffed.

The old man's attention returned to Ling Tian who was already able to stand up well. "You can already stand up, right? I'm sorry to rush you, but we'd better get out of here. There's something we need to discuss."

Ling Tian raised one of his eyebrows. "Of course. This place isn't."

Cheng Ho looked at Isaac and the Golden Dragon members. "You guys are coming too. Wang Mei left many of her men at the camp. I think there should still be some room left in the canoe."

Cheng Ho and Ling Tian then boarded the canoe. At the same time, the battle on the water was also over. The group of hunters with the 10-meter long canoes pulled up to them.

On one of the canoes, a short-haired woman stood at the end of the boat. Her light brown eyes were glued on Isaac. It was as if she had something to tell him.

Wang Mei got off the canoe. She walked over to Isaac. For a moment, the woman was silent. Then words emerged from her mouth.

"After all this time, I can finally see you."

All attention was then focused on the two of them. Ling Tian and Cheng Ho were no exception. The old man thought that Isaac was a nobody, but he was wrong.

Isaac once again had to put on a smile to face this woman.
