These Familiars Are Strange

Chapter 44: Cicada, mantis, oriole (2)



The way that this person commanded the different monsters, it wasn't something that Tie Gang had ever seen before.

It wasn't even something that Tie Gang had heard of before and Tie Gang was someone with quite a bit of experience.

He had done quite a few things in his time as the leader of this group.

He had also done quite a few things before his time as the leader of this group.

He could be considered quite the veteran in matters regarding familiars.

But even then, Tie Gang had never seen or heard of something like this before.

He really couldn't stop the bad feeling from filling him.

There was a part of him that strongly told him to stop this now and avoid this person…but it was already too late for that. His people were already in position and it didn't seem like they would listen to him if he told them to retreat.

Tie Gang didn't even need to think about it to know that it was because of Xiang Chun.

So in the end, he had no choice but to go through with this matter.

But that was on his own terms.

When he came back to his senses, Tie Gang said to the others, "No one makes a move until I give an order." In a colder and more serious voice, he added, "I'm serious about this. We'll all die if you make a move before I tell you to."

The others were shocked to hear this, but they slowly nodded in agreement.

After all, it was rare for them to see Tie Gang act like this.

He was not someone that would act this way unless it was absolutely necessary.

So they knew that it wasn't the time to act up.

Tie Gang was the leader that had led them through many dangerous situations, so there was a level of trust that he had built up with his subordinates.

After giving this order, Tie Gang focused his mind and paid attention to every move that Lin Fan was making.

The way that he was watching him was as if he was trying to find every little thing that he could about Lin Fan.

But Lin Fan didn't seem to notice that he was being watched.

It seemed that Lin Fan was completely focused on fighting the Boss Monster.

The Boss Monster of this dungeon was a deer monster called the Thunder Deer.

During this time, the Thunder Deer had only been using physical attacks against the monsters that Lin Fan controlled to attack it. It didn't seem to do anything that lived up to its name as a Thunder Deer.

Because it only used physical attacks, Lin Fan was able to wear it down with the monsters that he controlled to the point where it was covered in wounds.

It seemed like it was very injured by the time that its horns suddenly lit up.

There was electricity that ran through the horns of the Thunder Deer all of a sudden.

It was as if this Boss Monster had reached its second phase.

Once the electricity filled the horns of the Thunder Deer, it lived up to its name as the Thunder Deer. There was a moment where it gathered the power inside of its horns before it suddenly released that power, shooting it at the monsters that were around it.

Different from the physical attacks that it used, since this was an attack that used mana, it couldn't be frozen like before. The lightning that the Thunder Deer released suddenly streaked out and hit three of the monsters that were around it.

It would have hit more if not for the fast reactions of the monsters that allowed them to dodge out of the way in time.

But the three that were hit were pierced by the bolts of lightning and fell to the ground while still smoking.

That was more than enough to show the power of these bolts of lightning that the Thunder Deer shot out.

The Thunder Deer seemed to recover some of its power when it killed these three monsters. 

It gathered even more of its electricity and it started shooting the bolts of lightning out indiscriminately. It was as if the Thunder Deer just wanted to take out as many enemies as possible at this point.

There were several more monsters that were hit by these bolts of lightning and were turned into smoking corpses, but that didn't stop the others from attacking the Thunder Deer.

It was as if the monsters felt no fear from the might of the Thunder Deer's lightning bolts.

This just didn't make any sense for the Thunder Deer who lived in a world where power meant everything.

Those that were weaker should have naturally feared it and wouldn't have dared to attack it like this.

So it just couldn't understand why they were grouping up against it.

But during this, Lin Fan suddenly showed signs of exhaustion.

It was a sudden change, but it seemed like he was running out of energy.

The moment that Tie Gang saw this, his expression changed.

It was as if he saw his opportunity.

But he didn't push forward right away, he just continued watching Lin Fan fight.

After seeing Lin Fan becoming more and more exhausted, he finally gave the order to his men.

"Move forward and surround him. I want him dead first before we take down the Boss Monster." Tie Gang said in a serious voice.

His subordinates were surprised by this since normally their plan was to split in half to take down the target and the Boss Monster at the same time. But now it seemed like their boss was going against his own rules to attack the target first.

While they were confused by this, they didn't complain since they knew that this wasn't the time for that.

But as they approached, Tie Gang couldn't help feeling the bad feeling fill him again.

"Just what is this feeling?"
