A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The few remaining people also fled to the other team, which was the team with the largest number of people.

The team that Robin of Loxley was in.

The forest in early spring is quieter than expected.

The screams and the half-whistle in the forest traveled much farther than anyone imagined.

So it wasn't just Harald's team that heard the sound, but Robin's team as well.

"what sound!?"

Robin stopped and everyone's face was gloomy.

Although the outbreak of fighting had been anticipated, the situation was somewhat different from what was expected.

The author says:

Author's words: Thank you to reader Feisheng for the reward.

Chapter 265 Adventurer 5

His visit this time was naturally different from others.

That is carrying special weapons.

Furthermore, the personnel were different; everyone had made special preparations. Even if they couldn't be said to be as strong as regular troops, at least they were disciplined and not like the mob of improvisational troops.

They have the capital to fight against the remnants of the old times.

As soon as he thought of this, a sharp light flashed in Robin's eyes.

The entire team did not rush forward, but chose a relatively open terrain to deploy, line up, and head towards the direction where the sound came from.

In addition, the sound also alarmed other teams.

Just now everyone dispersed and explored in different directions, but now they instinctively gathered here.

Thomas blended in among the crowd that had gathered, yet remained inconspicuous.

He also looked in that direction, thoughtfully.

In the woods, trees are natural obstacles, so even in relatively open areas, the field of vision is only a few dozen meters.

In other words, in this environment, vision is not as useful as mental field range.

And in the spiritual field, one can feel that thing approaching here rapidly.

Thomas slowly grasped his sword, his expression slightly grim as he prepared to strike.

He had chosen to retreat just now, but now he could try to fight.

Fighting is not about reckless recklessness, but about calmly choosing the most advantageous strategy based on the situation.

The most important thing is not to be afraid of losing face. The dead no longer need honor.

According to intelligence, the number of people involved in the previous exploration activities was not small, but they were all useless. This means that the remnants of the past are likely not able to be subdued by numbers.

Over there, there were footsteps.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the direction where the footsteps came from.

Soon, Harald appeared, and there were two other people besides him.

Of the team of more than ten people, only three are left.

The three men looked terrified, looking back from time to time as they ran, as if they were avoiding something.

As the three of them got closer, everyone was finally able to see clearly what the person chasing them was.

That's a tree man.

The evil tree people were faster than humans, and even Harald couldn't outrun them. But fortunately, although Harald's escape speed was slower than the evil tree people, it was faster than his two companions.

In the blink of an eye, one person was caught up by the evil tree man. The evil tree man swung his branch-like limbs and hit the unfortunate guy hard on the back.

The man was knocked flying and stopped only after hitting a tree.

The evil tree man took a step forward, caught up with the unlucky guy, and stomped him down hard.

By the time it raised its foot, the man's upper body had turned into meat paste.

However, because of chasing this unlucky guy just now, Harald successfully distanced himself from the evil tree man.

He rushed into the ranks of friendly troops.

Everyone separated their ranks to allow the two frightened deserters to pass through and allowed them to escape to the back of the line.

"Finally I see you... It turns out you are really a remnant of the old times! Take the thing!" Robin's eyes were stern, and he reached out to take the wrapped thing from behind.

Those who were carrying packages took out the equipment on their backs.

When Thomas looked at it, he recognized it as a grenade.

This was not the hand grenade from his previous life. The hand grenade now was a cast iron ball filled with black gunpowder and attached with a fuse. Due to the weak explosive power of black gunpowder, it had only limited killing effect.

Moreover, this early grenade was very difficult to operate. It required using a fire starter to ignite the fuse first, and then approaching the enemy formation to throw it.

Therefore, when using it, you have to hold the fire in one hand and the grenade in the other.

But even so, it has attracted people's attention as a new weapon.

I don’t know if this world has appeared, but in Thomas’ previous life, there was a special type of soldier in modern times called “grenadiers”, who specialized in throwing grenades.

Over there, the evil tree people were approaching, and over here, the archers with long-range weapons had already taken action.

Bullets and arrows cut through the air and hit the evil tree man.

But it seemed completely ineffective. The evil tree people continued to approach.

Suddenly, the evil tree man paused and stopped, looking quietly towards everyone.

The hidden sight, hidden between the branches of trees high above, fell straight down on the group of people.

For some reason, Thomas felt that the evil tree man's gaze suddenly fell on him.

The evil tree man paused for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and left.

Before anyone could react, it was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Still want to escape!?" Robin shouted and chased after him with a grenade.

But it was no use. After chasing for a while, there was no trace of the other party at all.

Only then did he return to his original place in disappointment.

"What a shame, this remnant of the old days escaped. It seems our preparations were effective this time, scaring them off immediately."

After returning, everyone started discussing this issue.

"Everyone, since our grenades are effective, why don't we take this opportunity to completely eradicate this evil?" someone suggested loudly.

"No rush. This monster is easy to hide in the forest, and it's incredibly fast. We can't catch up. Now's not the time to fight. We have to force it into a head-on fight," Robin said. "Besides, our priority right now is saving lives. As for exterminating this evil, we'll make plans after we've saved them."

"What we have to do now is to be more careful to avoid being ambushed."

Robin's analysis was clear and logical, and no one objected.

"Thank you, Lord Robin, for saving my life." On the other side, Harald hurried over to express his gratitude.

If it weren't for Robin and the others, even though he was the last one to die, he was destined to die!

After some discussion, Robin and the others continued forward, but the others didn't dare to stray too far. After all, as they had just seen, the monster's power was beyond the reach of a small group.

Thomas was at the back, still thinking about the look he had just received.

The monster must have seen me and then chose to leave... What does this mean?

Feeling strong?

He had just thought about it and knew that once the battle started, he would take action.

By then, with grenades flying and swords waving, there will be at least a 70% chance of killing this evil tree man.

Although killing the evil tree man is not Thomas's mission, eliminating an enemy of humanity is also the duty of a Christian knight.

Unfortunately, the other side did not launch an attack, but suddenly retreated.

Are you aware of yourself?

Or maybe there were too many people here and they were scared away?

He came here this time with the intention of hiding his identity and finding out the situation here without attracting attention.

Everything else is secondary.

These adventurers and mercenaries could be considered helpers, saving him manpower in exploring the way.

It doesn't matter if you're not here, it's just a little troublesome.

Chapter 266 Adventurer 6

At this time, Robin and others had already withdrawn their combat formation and planned to continue searching.

But a scream was heard from another direction.

"Be careful when you go there!" Robin's face changed.

When everyone passed by, they saw seven or eight people stumbling towards this side and running for their lives.

"Everyone be careful!" As they spoke, everyone took out the grenades they had just put back.

Everyone rushed towards the person who was fleeing.

Robin and his group took the lead, and the other small teams and individual people were also in high spirits, and no one ran away.

Thomas followed closely behind, catching up quickly.

Sure enough, there was another battlefield over there.

The evil tree man who had just left did not run far, but made a small detour and intercepted another temporary team in a sparse open space in the forest.

However, this time there was not much time, and the evil tree people did not have time to chase and kill them, so they just killed all those who dared to resist.

But when everyone arrived, there were five or six bodies lying on the open ground.

The evil tree people are chasing two humans.

These two were trying to be clever. Instead of following the main group to escape in the direction of Robin and the others, they fled in another direction.

But it cost Qingqing her life.

The evil tree man had caught up and slapped the guy who was trying to escape in front of him.

This blow directly caused the man's neck to bend abnormally. He continued to rush forward two steps and fell uncontrollably.

Then the evil tree man suddenly looked up at everyone.

High up on its body, hidden beneath the bark, was a face that was impossible to discern without close inspection. That face also had a pair of eyes.

But his eyes were fixed on Thomas.

"It's really me!" This time, Thomas was more certain.

The other party is watching him!

That gaze was filled with coldness, giving goose bumps to one's skin.

"Interesting...but why me?"

Thomas took a stealthy step forward.

Then the evil tree man turned around and ran away again, disappearing into the distance of the woods.

Robin and the others tried to chase again, but they couldn't catch up. Each of them had a face full of resentment and anger.

"Damn it! You've got a sneak attack like that!" Robin's face was filled with rage. "Don't let me catch you, or I'll chop you into pieces, you monster!"

Seeing the monster run away, the few people who had just successfully escaped breathed a sigh of relief.

This monster is very powerful.

Its body is as tough and strong as an ancient tree, and ordinary swords and knives cannot cause any damage to it.

Long-range weapons were no match for them. Bullets wouldn't penetrate the tree's defenses at all, simply embedding themselves in the bark.
