Reincarnated As The Heroine?! I refuse!

130: Confrontation

Anyone who saw Elder Bo slap their precious Admiral across his face, they would all be so shock to utter a word. A legendary figure being mistreated in public was nothing but an insult to a person's pride as well as trumping down their personal achievements.

However, the person himself that was slapped did not say anything, neither did his expression turn black nor white. His head remained bowed under the piercing gaze of Elder Bo. This was a sign of total respect and subservience. The militants close by could only extinguish the blooming anger in their hearts, flipping it over with deeper respect for their Admiral.

Not everyone possesses that kind of patience, and they give their salute to such an astute man. As expected of their Admiral!

As soon as Purge Team A entered the jungle simultaneously, they immediately sensed something amiss. In all corners, they could not find any wild animals, not a bird nor a minuscule snake. This caused First to frown, increasing his level of alertness.

They sped up towards the direction of the strange loud stampede, only to be obstructed by humongous beasts with draconian features as tall as a hundred feet. There were more of its kind and even scarier that were of different species, or a mixture of sorts. Nevertheless, they all looked terrifying and not even their current firearms could damage the outer skin as Four tested her machinegun on one of them beasts.

"Danger!!"

"Thanks Captain Obvious!" Cried Four to Three's panicked shout.

They were highly trained elites that have also encountered beasts before, but the levels between them were as wide as a town! If what they fought before was level five that required six experienced military men and women equipped with all knowledge on how to use all firearms available and killer martial arts, then the ones before them now were level nine. A whole four levels of higher difficulty that would at least require a hundred people to kill, if not more.

Third was the first one to turn around and run, but First grabbed his arm, not looking at him. Then First said as he continued observing the running beasts: "They are not chasing us, not even a glance. Let's follow them!"

Although extremely reluctant, Third obeyed. Others then followed, learning later that their route was the same as where the beasts were going.

A few kilometres away from the red burial grounds, the beasts were remaining at bay, all of them looking docile. Even with their current good behaviour, their appearance could still scare most people. But they did not seem to notice the many militants giving reactions to their presence. Not a peep even when a militant was beside one of them beasts. Of course none of the militants remained beside any beast, for what if perchance the beast suddenly changes its mind and eats them in one mouthful, it will be too late to regret then.

So alongside the beasts and militants, silence ensued, as if something was being waited upon.

This was the unusual scene the Purge Team A saw upon their arrival. Determined that the beasts would not attack, First and his companions walked fearlessly forward.

What greeted them were five people, which one of them strangely had fox ears and tail. One of the five looked vaguely familiar to First, Third, Four and Five. But they could not determine who she was because they have never seen Lea's face.

What this group of five were doing was incomprehensible to the rest of Purge Team A, for the scene unfolding was of three people sitting calmly on the red soil as if meditating. They strangely felt they should not disturb the three.

Aside from the three in meditation, the other two, man and woman, were looking very frightened as their faces were pale and their eyes nervous. They appeared more human than the other three.
