My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 223 - 154: Treasure Can Never Be More Important Than Brothers_3
Reid subtly adjusted his direction in an instant, sprinting towards the designated meeting point.
But after merely a few steps, he heard a distant, familiar roar from the first retreat point.
’It’s Malok!’
The distance was quite far, and the roar was somewhat faint and unclear.
However, it seemed to carry not anger, but fear and unwillingness?
Reid had no time to discern.
For it was enough to indicate that the other party was caught in some fierce battle.
According to the team’s prior agreement, faced with a strong enemy pursuit, he could immediately head to the second retreat point, while Captain Freddy, Malok, and Archer would draw attention at the first retreat point.
Without hesitation.
Reid once again adjusted the tip of his toes, changing direction and sprinting away.
"Huff~huff~"
Due to his injuries and continuous sprinting, even though Reid’s Classes Level as a Wanderer had reached Level 5, he was almost at his limit.
Luckily, less than a few hundred meters ahead lay the second retreat point.
This brought a slight relief to Reid’s heart.
But suddenly!
A black cloud of smoke appeared not far behind him, quickly transforming into a slender black hound that snapped at his calf.
’It’s a Shadow Hound!’ 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
’Damn! They’ve chased so fast!’
Reid tried desperately to twist his body, but it was almost too late!
"Swoosh!"
At the critical moment!
A silver sword blade swept an arc from top to bottom, beheading the Shadow Hound.
The blade imbued with some special energy caused the wound of the Shadow Hound, which was supposed to heal quickly, to sizzle with a burning sound.
Its body made of black smoke began to rapidly fade.
’That’s the captain’s Silver Sword!’
Reid’s eyes widened slightly, a thought immediately popping into his mind.
His steps slowed down at once.
Because he saw a familiar figure appearing to the side.
If not Captain Freddy, then who else could it be?
"Captain!"
Reid murmured, an unexpected look flashing in his eyes.
Because from the distant battle sounds at the first retreat point just now, it was clear the battle was in full swing, so how could his captain have the leisure to appear here?
"How are you, alright?"
Before Reid could think it through, Freddy showed a concerned smile, gently asking with care.
Perhaps due to previous thoughts of privately seizing the treasure, feeling a faint guilt, Reid dared not meet his captain’s eyes in response to Freddy’s concern. Instead, he quickly nodded and said:
"Just a small injury, I’m fine."
"Mm, that’s good. I don’t want anything to happen to my brothers."
"Treasure isn’t more important than brothers."
Hearing his captain’s words, Reid’s guilt deepened in his heart, touched by the sentiment.
"By the way, did you get the item?"
Freddy asked seemingly casually.
"Yes, got it."
Reid nodded.
As he spoke, Reid hesitated internally about whether to hand over the real miniature model.
But after a brief consideration, he decided to hand over the real one.
After all, even if handed over, although far from full possession, he could still take a fifth, which was a windfall.
Just as he reached into his left waist pouch to retrieve the real miniature model, suddenly!
Reid felt a sharp pain in his chest, incredulously looking down.
He saw a familiar silver long sword piercing through his heart.
Tracing back along the blood-stained blade.
Gripping the sword hilt was none other than his previously kind-faced captain, Freddy.
Only now, the face bore no trace of kindness.
There was only malice!
"Captain! You!"
Reid never expected, just as he abandoned the thought of hoarding the treasure, guilt in his heart, that his captain Freddy would be more ruthless and greedy than he ever imagined.
"Don’t blame me, Reid..."
"Blame the treasure for being too tempting."
Freddy said softly.
Amidst what felt like the devil’s whispering, Reid’s fingers had touched the bottom of the pouch.
Mm?
At the brink of death.
Reid’s perception was extraordinarily keen.
His fingertips discovered a large hole.
A hole definitely large enough for the miniature model to fall out.
This left Reid, after shock, fear, and astonishment, with a final, serene smile fixed on his face.
