"It's already five o 'clock."
After escaping the pursuit of the Fire Cloud Lion, Lin Feng finally let out a sigh of relief. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already five o 'clock. It was already late, and he had overdrawn his physical strength, so he decided to return.
The Forest Sea at night was much more dangerous than during the day!
Lin Feng was alone, and without the help of a team, he couldn't guarantee his safety. After all, his true strength was only at the 8th stage of Physique Cultivator.
On the way back, Lin Feng would occasionally encounter some adventurer teams. These teams curiously sized up Lin Feng, and their gazes paused slightly on his huge bag. Some were very calm, and some had a flash of greed, but they were rational and didn't make a move.
To dare to adventure alone in the central region of the Forest Sea, and to be an archer, Lin Feng might have suffered some injuries, but his limbs were still intact. This was enough to prove his strength.
Moreover, greedy adventurers were in the minority, and most of them had a sense of justice. Of course, there were also those who didn't have eyes. There was a three-man team that saw Lin Feng was alone and prepared to extort him. However, after Lin Feng's arrow pierced through one of their thighs, the other two instantly became well-behaved.
Such a powerful archer!
They really couldn't afford to offend him!
Although Lin Feng didn't take their lives, he took away all their valuables.
This was because he felt that the other party didn't have any killing intent, and was purely extorting, so he was merciful.
If it was a hunter who hunted adventurers and made a fortune, Lin Feng hated those scumbags. If he found them, he would aim for their hearts.
"Eh?"
Lin Feng was returning the way he came. When he was about to pass by the pool, he vaguely heard the sounds of fighting and crying from the roaring of the waterfall. The crying sounds were somewhat sharp and familiar, as if it was the voice of Xie Lingling from Xie Bing's team.
"There are no sounds of demon beasts. It's a battle with someone. Why haven't they left?"
Lin Feng frowned. It had been more than an hour since they separated. Logically speaking, Xie Bing should have left the Forest Sea long ago. Why did she return to the pool?
Why was she fighting with someone?
With a bad premonition in his heart, Linfeng took a step forward and sprinted towards the pool!
As he approached the pool, Linfeng smelled a faint scent of blood.
Linfeng stopped and hid behind a large tree. He stuck his head out and saw that Xie Bing and the others were covered in wounds and their clothes were dyed red with blood.
They were standing back to back. Around them were four people wearing black masks that only revealed their eyes, mouths, and noses. Judging from their physiques, they seemed to be men. They were attacking them continuously. On the floor, other than the original broken limbs, there were three more corpses.
Two of the corpses belonged to a male and female. Their ages were around the same as Xie Bing and the rest. There was a bloody hole in their left chest. Lin Feng didn't recognize these two. As for the other corpse, Lin Feng was very familiar with it. It was Ah Wen, the short thief that refined the Long-nosed Beast's demon spirit.
At this moment, A Wen was lying motionless on the ground. His eyes were bulging and bloodshot. There was also a fist-sized bloody hole in his neck. Dark red blood was flowing out of it. He was clearly dead.
"There's an archer!"
Although Linfeng didn't see any arrows, as an archer, Linfeng was very familiar with the wounds.
At this moment, the four men on the battlefield weren't using their bows. Clearly, there was one or more archers hiding in the shadows.
"Go die!"
Xie Bing, who was on the battlefield, let out a furious roar. After refining the Rank 4 Wind Fox, he was currently in a demon transformation state.
His cheeks became long and narrow, and his pupils became golden. His small face had a lot of thin yellow hair, and he had a pair of furry triangular ears. He also had a yellow tail. His left hand was emitting a faint green light, and green wind blades appeared from his left hand. They flew towards the masked man and exploded in midair.
Triple Shot!
This was Xie Bing's Wind Fox's first skill!
Unfortunately, the four masked men were already prepared. Before Xie Bing could raise his left hand, they had already retreated. They weren't in a hurry to attack. It was as if they were intentionally exhausting Xie Bing and the others' stamina and soul power while waiting for the best opportunity.
"Captain, what do we do?"
Lin Xuan, who was also in a demon transformation state, asked anxiously.
Lin Xuan, who had refined the Rank 3 Heavy Armored Rhinoceros, was now like a giant. His entire body was covered with grey muscles. The muscles on his arms and thighs were like pythons. He held a huge shield and carefully protected everyone. At the same time, his eyes were cautiously looking into the distance. A trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
"Captain, I don't want to die!"
Xie Lingling looked at Ah Wen who was lying in a pool of blood and trembled.
She was holding an exquisite longsword, but she felt weak all over. She couldn't help but collapse to the ground.
She knew that she no longer had any stamina.
"Hang in there. Soon, an adventurer team will pass by!"
Xie Bing's voice was a little hoarse. He had also fallen into despair. He had never felt so regretful before.
Feng Lin had already reminded them that they couldn't do anything about this matter!
They had already left the pool. They had already obtained some rewards and were preparing to leave the Forest Sea.
But on the way back, they met a guy and a girl. They were the two people lying in a pool of blood. They were second-year students from Yunwu University. They were looking for their classmates, which was a five-man team.
According to their description and the direction they were heading, Xie Bing and the others judged that it was very likely to be the five people in the pool. He had a moment of kindness in exchange for the death of his classmates. Now, even the four of them would die!
He regretted it, really regretted it.
If possible, he wouldn't have meddled in other people's business. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be so reckless.
Self-blame and regret seemed to want to devour him. He, who had overdrawn his soul force, exited the demon transformation state.
"Are we going to die?"
Seeing Xie Bing exiting the demon transformation state, Xie Lingling's face turned pale. With a clang, her weapon fell to the ground. Clearly, she had given up on resisting.
Their strength wasn't comparable to the four people in front of them. There was also a powerful archer hiding in the dark. They already had no hope of escaping!
"Hang in there!"
Lin Xuan was still trying his best to overdraw his soul force. He held the shield and seemed to be hypnotizing himself as he bitterly held on.
"Hehe, they can't hold on any longer!"
Someone let out a mocking voice that contained a trace of cruelty.
"Where are they?"
Lin Feng hid behind a large tree. His eyes quickly scanned the area, but he didn't find any traces of the archer.
If assassins were the elves of the night, then an archer hiding in the dark was even more terrifying than an assassin.
Assassins were close range killers. They could only attack when they were close to their target.
However, an archer could take the enemy's head from ten thousand meters away. Compared to an assassin, an archer was actually more of a threat. This was because you didn't know when they would attack, from what angle, or where they would aim at.
Lin Feng held the war bow in his hand. An arrow was nocked on the string. He was waiting, quietly waiting.
Although he was confident that he could kill the four masked men, he didn't know the archer's position or how many archers there were. If he acted rashly, he might even be in danger.
Just as Lin Feng was searching, two hundred meters away, on a lush tree branch, a middle-aged man held a longbow in his left hand and an arrow in his right. Just like Lin Feng, he was also in an attacking state. His eyes were cold as he stared at Xie Bing's group.
The moment Xie Bing exited the demon transformation state, he raised the war bow and pulled back his right hand. Suddenly, the bow was pulled back into a full moon. A pitch-black arrow flew out from the bow with a mournful whistle. The hundred meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye.
