Chapter 346 Surrounded

These were the following tasks that Shin had issued:

1] Aella - being the temporary head of the clan.

He proclaimed her as the Vice-Leader of the clan.

2] Blanca was given the authority right after Aella. Shin asked him to protect Aella and help her in taking vice-decisions.

3] Kaily, Terran and Raka were asked to partake in the decision-making process and protect the Lower and Central Plaza.

4] The Goblins were asked to protect the upper Plaza - since the upper plaza was a place, especially for Shin, no other beasts or monsters lived there. Hence, Shin thought that there was no need to waste the strength of strong beings in protecting that area. So, he assigned goblins.

5] The Arb Elves were asked to scout and guard the surroundings.

6] Dark Elves were asked to protect the moles and dwarves who were going to continue their work of building many more houses, especially one for Shin.

7] Weaker beasts like Alira, baby goblins, and Mo were asked to remain near the houses built or the habitats that were provided to them.

8] Finally, the rest of the swamp residents were asked to guard all five swamps and the nearby areas.

As started walking away - towards the gate - as soon as everyone was handed some tasks.

"Alright, stay safe everyone.", Shin said as he made the gesture of leaving by nodding his head.

"We will be awaiting your return, your highness.", many of them said simultaneously.

Aella was still sad from the inside, but she didn't show it. She remained calm and in fact, smiled as she bid him farewell.

Without any further delay, Shin left with the shadow wolves and head towards the west of the forest.

The west terrain - that's where they were supposed to go.

They had to first exit the forest and then pass through 2 human kingdoms. After that, they would be reaching the Great Desert of Lies.

The West Terrain consists of three areas - the Desert Of Lies, the Desolate Land, and the Death Valley.

It was an extremely dangerous place. Needless to say, no one even knew if the Heavenly family really resided there.

Kira did mention about the west terrain but he never mentioned the exact place among these three.

Therefore, Shin would have to go through the trouble of finding the Heavenly Wolf family even after reaching the West terrain.

While the west terrain had many dangers, the path that had to be taken to reach the said terrain was equally, if not, more dangerous!

For now, Shin and the gang had to get out of the forest.

As mentioned earlier, the center of the forest was supposed to have strong monsters - that would be above level 70 at least.

However, Shin had already chased them away from the center. The town now replaced their homes. So, needless to say, those beasts held grudges.

As Shin and the gang walked slowly towards the region that was a little away from the town, slight chills ran down everyone's spine.

First of all, the entire forest seemed silent. It was so quiet that it made everyone tense.

Shin and the shadow wolves continuously looked all around them to make sure that there were no dangers but they found no signs of any potential threat.

However, the situation was quite dangerous! Everyone's instinct made them aware of the incoming danger.

Five gigantic beasts, who had now occupied this land, targeted Shin and his gang.

Two appeared from the front and two from the back, which then spread to form a square-shaped boundary. Following them, an Eagle beast came flying and started flapping its wings right above them, as if it was levitating in the same position.

Indeed, it was as if all the beasts were announcing that Shin and his gang were surrounded and had no place to escape.

Deoras was just above level 70 and was strong, but in front of 5 other level 70s, he couldn't possibly stand his ground. Also, he had a great disadvantage against the flying-type Eagle beast.

Adding the fact that other shadow wolves were below level 60, it only made him worry even more. It made him realize what Blanca had said earlier.

'Against these many strong beasts, I doubt if I can escape...'

'But if I really use all my strength in running away, perhaps...'

'Perhaps I might survive with a small wound or injury...', Deoras said to himself.

'But what about my subordinates...?', Deoras looked at other shadow wolves.

Even the great shadow Wolf general, right now, was way weaker than Deoras and even he was a dead weight.

'Was this the reason why his highness was hesitant to bring other shadow wolves with him?', Deoras questioned himself.

He started to regret his decision of bringing his subordinates too and wondered what his master, Shin had in his mind.

How would he get out of this situation? How would he save everyone?

He thought that Shin also might have a hard time dealing with all these beasts.

Despite knowing Shin's strength - especially after witnessing it in the clan wars - Deoras was still questioning. Either he was just too nervous or he merely couldn't tell the power difference between an Lv.70 and an Lv.90.

He wondered continuously if Shin had some plans to get out of the situation. He thought it could be a tough fight and blood could be shed, however, contrary to what he was thinking, Shin started laughing loudly!

"Haha..."

"Hahaha..."

"HAHAHAHA!"

Shin's laugh only grew louder as each second passed.

Deoras and other shadow wolves were surprised when he started laughing and even now, as he continued to laugh, they merely kept staring at him.

'What is his highness doing?'

'Why is he laughing...?'

'Is he alright?'

All these questions flooded everyone's head.

And as they were puzzled, Shin spoke, "You punks…"

"Have you not learned your lesson yet?", the silence in the forest only made his voice sound louder and much more dominant than usual.
