Chương 929: 929 Ready, Get Set, Go!

There it was! Standing tall in front of them was another hill hive!

Luna zoomed towards the hill hive, followed by the ten wyverns flapping their wings majestically.

And as the group neared the hill hive, the second thing also came into their view, the hundreds and thousands of isons swarming around the hill hive!

Each and every single one of these insect-like creatures was the same as they had faced before with their bizarre characteristics. The very sight of it was enough to shake everyone's confidence.

The entire guild tensed up as they knew that a tough battle was imminent.

The sheer number of these things was enough to scare the living daylights out of the most experienced fighters. They were simply endless. Not to mention the wounds of the last battle were still fresh.

Determination and resolve were one thing, but to actually overcome the fear and dive into the battle once again with their lives on the line was an entirely different thing.

"Before we start, let me remind you all about something. This time I won't intervene. So proceed at your own risk. If you guys don't want to do this, we can turn back right here and now."

Liam shrugged as his voice loudly resounded amidst the silence.

From the looks of it, they also had some time to make a decision as the swarm seemed to be only swirling around the pyramid, not moving here and there, away from the structure.

However, as soon as Liam spoke, a bold voice immediately shouted back.

"Of course, we are going in." Alex jumped down from her wyvern first, followed by Rey, Lan Deming, and Shin Soo.

After that, one by one, all the other guild members also started making their moves. They hardened their wavering resolve and charged toward the hive hill.

Was Liam really not going to help? Though their guild leader had said something like this, no one was really surprised by this right now.

After all, they were already familiar with Liam, and when he had talked about training and the swarm, they had already expected something like this.

So everyone knew very well that they were stepping into the death zone at their own risk, and yet they charged forward with full vigor.

After a certain point, if one did not adapt, one simply died!

And it was time for them to adapt!

Next to Liam, Shen Yue and Mei Mei also climbed down from Luna.

Mei Mei already started casting all her buffs one after the other. The young girl who should have been attending school and happily enjoying her childhood right now instead had a serious look on her face as she fluently cast multiple mana spells.

Liam's heart tugged a little at this sight, but he was more proud than sad. When he wasn't looking, his little sister was growing to be a capable and skilled fighter every day.

Though this might look forced and pitiful, he would rather prefer that his sister was strong than how both of them had been helpless and insignificant in his last life.

No matter how much he was around to protect her, the self-confidence and peace of mind that came with one's personal growth were irreplaceable.

So instead of being a protected, sheltered little girl, he wanted her to shine on her own a little and work hard for herself.

Liam's gaze then shifted from his sister to other members of the group as everyone charged toward the swarm one after another.

One important thing he immediately noticed right off the bat was the fact that the swarm did not disperse at all, not even to greet them.

When they appeared near the hivehill, not a single one of the isons had moved away from the pyramid structure to greet them. It was only when the guild charged into the vicinity that the isons started fighting back.

Also, their numbers seemed to be slightly less than the previous time.

Judging from all of this, Liam couldn't help but think of the obvious. Was this the whole group, or was this just a part of the swarm that hung around the pyramid to protect the structure?

If so, what were these ones protecting?

And what was the other half searching for?

Liam silently pondered while standing back safely along with Luna. He did not know the answer to the first question, but he could roughly guess the answer to the second question.

What was the objective of these creatures to come here, to land on earth?

To kill and destroy and gather the resources from their planet. So the half of the swarm that was not here was probably out there doing this exact thing.

As for why the other half was guarding this structure… were they perhaps safe-keeping the eggs so that more could hatch? Or was something else present in the pyramid that was worth guarding?

Hmmm… Liam hummed as he had absolutely no idea. This was the first time he was also facing these mysterious creatures, so he tried not to be biased right from the get-go and kept his mind open.

He leaned back and relaxed as he thought about this. Right now, he did not know the answers to his questions, but that was okay. When the guild finished off the swarm, the answer to these questions would automatically be clarified.

"Well, let's just wait then." He yawned as he was still quite tired and hadn't recovered completely. He lazily laid next to Luna, who curled up on the ground to form a comfortable fluffy bed for him.

Next to this duo, the ten wyverns also stood idly as they watched and waited without anything else to do. Their master hadn't given any instructions to them whatsoever. So they copied Luna as each of the soul minions also curled up on the ground.

The ten fearsome draconic beasts and the elegant, mysterious white fox, all lying on the ground side by side, was a dramatic scene to see and behold.

And in the meantime, a few feet ahead of this chilling zone, a bloody battle was unfolding rather quickly.
