AI Doctor : From Slave to Beast King

Damien didn't let the team walk around the forest. They hid behind the lush leaves and waited for Lexiel and his team to arrive. With Claw flying above in the sky, they did not have to worry about circling the area where they were hiding.

Claw relayed Lexiel's attempts to walk past the Whipping Wisps.

Boom!

The sound of something exploding echoed, followed by the ground shaking.

"I hope he didn't destroy a century-old tree," Serena muttered. She turned to look at Damien and asked, "Please tell me he didn't."

Damien smiled at her question before whispering, "I am sorry to tell you this but he is not much of a heritage protector."

"That fucking —" she caught herself in time before turning to look in front.

[They are heading towards the northwest side of the forest.]

Among Lexiel's team, there were three warriors and one tactician. It was one of the best balanced groups, and despite being outnumbered by a bunch of defender teams, they were still able to rise to the top.

"Are you sure that they are here, Eli?" Jasper asked the woman walking beside Lexiel.

"Are you doubting my skills?" Eli turned and scowled at the man. "Did I make a mistake with the rest? I assure you that we are on the right path."

"I hope that you are right," Landon stared around the surroundings before muttering, "There are only twenty-two minutes left for the game to end. If we do not find them, then all our hard work will be down the drain."

"Don't worry —"

"Are you saying that we will be defeated by a group led by a pathetic man who can't even be considered a beastman?" Before Eli could finish speaking, Lexiel turned and looked at Landon.

His gaze was so terrifying that Landon immediately lowered his head.

"I apologise."

"Humph!" Lexiel sneered as he said to the rest of the team. "You all better open your senses. There is no room to make a mistake."

Their team moved towards the northwest again and Damien asked the group to go hide further.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Twenty more minutes," Dom quaked. "Why couldn't the other teams stay on guard for a few more minutes? How could they go down so easily?"

"Calm down; even though they are headed in this direction, they are still a bit off," said Sam. "I don't think that they will succeed in finding us."

"Shh!"

The two men turned silent as they waited for Lexiel's team to walk by their hiding spot. When only twelve minutes were left in the end of the game, Lexiel's team headed over to the mist-covered ground, looking for Damien and the rest of the team.

"They are doubling back," Damien relayed. "They are almost here."

Dom squeaked behind him and hid even further in the plumage of leaves.

While Serena and Sam prepared themselves for the attack.

Lexiel arrived at the centre of the mist-covered ground. He looked around and saw that the grass had been disturbed and stepped on. He crouched down and whiffed the land before letting out a frustrating groan, "Whats going on!? I can't smell their scents at all."

"Are you sure that they headed this way?" Lan asked.

"There could be a possibility that they walked past this ground already. Though this ground is covered with mist, the fog is neither poisonous nor dangerous. It could be easily waded through."

"Stay on guard. It seems like they are playing with our senses; there could be a possibility that they are hiding and waiting for us to fall in their trap."

Eli turned to look at the man and questioned, "Do you think that those low-ranking beastmen can really do something like this? Serena, yes but what about the rest?"

"There is nothing wrong with being careful."

They walked past the ground cautiously and headed towards the spot where Damien and the rest were hiding.

Damien glanced at Serena and the rest, and they all stopped moving at once. They had walked a bit further in the deep foliage and crouched closer to the ground.

With Claw helping them, they were able to find the most advantageous position.

[Claw, try to stay as far away as possible in case the fight starts. I am not sure what kind of beastmen Lexiel is; we cannot take risks. So try to use long-range attacks this time around and don't try to grab him.]

[My claws are the most effective defensive measure.]

[I know but we cannot use those measures for the time being.]

He then turned to look at the rest of the team and said to them, "Once they get closer, try to engage them in a battle. But don't get caught; just try to drag this fight as long as possible. Go for the warriors first."

"No," Serena refused. "We need to stun Eli first. That woman is dangerous; one look at her eyes and we will turn into a statue for the next three hours. We have to take her out first."

Lexil's team came into sight and they all rose to their feet. Enjoy exclusive content from mvl

"They actually hid here; do they think that they can take us down?" Lan joked while looking at the four dark silhouettes.

Jacob rubbed his fingers; he had mastered a skill that would allow him to control and create beasts closer to his own kind. Though the range was only four creatures for the time being, it was enough to deal with these people.

Damien had no idea about the skills of the four beastmen in front of him. He could only think of tactics that would delay this game as long as possible.

"Attack!" Lexiel shouted as he and his team charged at the group in front of them.

Damien narrowed his eyes when he saw Eli pulling down the glasses that she was wearing.

It seemed like they were indeed trying to turn them into statues.

[Claw distract that woman.]

Since they wanted to use dirty tricks, don't blame him for matching their energy.
