"Kill?"
I looked at Ling Xue.
Ling Xue bit her lips and slowly shook her head, "No!"
My heart sank. I understood Ling Xue's plan. The two of us hid in the forest and waited for two minutes.
As expected, the two players riding the Fire Cloud Leopards turned back!
As expected, the people of Holy Helm City were too shrewd.
This wasn't a blind search, but a spider web search. Many squads of cavalry were sent out to cover the entire Barbarian Wasteland like a giant spider web. If we had attacked them just now, it would be the same as touching one of the threads in the spider web. The information of the prey would be sent to the person in charge of Holy Helm City within a minute and the next step would be to hunt them down.
Thinking up to this point, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Luckily, Ling Xue was calm enough.
"What should we do?"
Ling Xue was a bit confused. She murmured, "Attack, or continue to run?"
I said, "If I knew this would happen, I would have hidden in the bushes and eaten fruits until the 12 hours were up. That place is well-connected and the cavalry can't get in, and it's not easy to find them …"
Ling Xue couldn't help but smile, "What if I get a stomachache? Let's talk about what we should do next."
I thought for a moment and said, "Hiding is not a solution. They will find us sooner or later. How about … we take the initiative and kill the two patrolling cavalrymen, then immediately turn back and leave at full speed?"
Ling Xue nodded, "That's the only solution. Attack!
I'll take one on the left, you take the right! "
"Okay!"
The two of us waited quietly. Half a minute later, we heard the sound of hooves. The two Fire Cloud Leopard Cavalrymen had come!
Wild Charge!
I dashed toward them and swung my Scarlet Heaven Sword, Total Annihilation!
"Bang bang bang …"
The sharp sword energy bombarded the target's body. The Fire Cloud Leopard Cavalryman let out a groan and was killed before he could even survive the Total Annihilation.
On the other side, Ling Xue's Frozen Slash + Total Annihilation Combo also killed her opponent. She picked up the leggings and some high-level potions that her opponent dropped, turned around, and ran towards the southeast at full speed!
In the dense forest, Ling Xue and I used the cover of the dense foliage to sneak across the forest. From afar, we could see a large group of Holy Helm City Cavalrymen galloping towards the location where we killed the enemy. In a way, we had already escaped the first blockade of the American region.
Hiding behind a towering tree, I panted heavily and sat down on the root.
Ling Xue looked at the roots of the tree that were covered with centimeter long ants. She was so scared that she didn't dare to sit down. She squatted down next to me and said, "It seems like the people of Holy Helm City are determined to get us.
What are they after by sending out so many people at once? "
I couldn't help but smile. "They probably still hold a grudge. Last time, we attacked Fire Dragon City and almost took it down. Those American players must be holding a grudge against us. This time, the flames of war have spread to the Barbarian Lands. There's no reason for them not to come after us."
Ling Xue nodded. "Last night, the American players took over the Wildlands' County City of Golden City. Now that Golden City and Heavenly Key City are at loggerheads with each other, they've dispatched their troops much faster. This must be the reason why there are so many American players here."
"Yeah!"
I thought for a moment. The situation in the Barbarian Lands had become even more complicated. Heavenly Key City and Earth Tooth City were in the hands of China, Golden City was taken over by the American region, and Silver Spear City became the base of the Fierce Tiger Alliance under the Barbaric Throne. Only Mysterious Rain City was left without a leader.
"So tired …" Ling Xue wiped the sweat off her forehead and said with a smile, "Thank goodness I ate a lot during lunch. Otherwise, I'd be starving for 12 hours straight …"
I couldn't help but laugh. I reached out and hugged this cute little girlfriend. "Here, then sit on my lap and rest for a while?"
"Are they clean?" Ling Xue looked at my legs with a questioning expression.
I slapped my thighs. "What a joke. Eternal Legguards, God Tier equipment. I didn't mistreat you, right?"
"Okay then …"
Ling Xue stood up and jumped into my arms. She wrapped her arms around my neck and smiled deviously. "Oi, people are chasing us everywhere outside and we're being so intimate here. If they find out, won't they spit blood?"
I hugged her waist and smiled. "Who cares? If they want to chase us, that's their own business. We don't need to care."
"En."
But at that moment, my Starry Eyes reacted. It seemed that a high-level expert had appeared!
In the blink of an eye, there was a crack. Blood-red light flashed and my vision turned black.
Not good, it was Blind!
It was obvious that we had been targeted by an assassin in the darkness. Even with [Eyes of Stars] activated, we still hadn't been able to see through his invisibility. How terrifying. This was an assassin on the same level as Peerless Little Qian!
[Eyes of the Star] couldn't be used continuously, so its detection effect was greatly reduced. If it was an assassin on the level of Paralyzing Wind of Sorrow trying to assassinate me, then I wouldn't be able to detect it at all!
The blinding effect only lasted for two seconds. The moment I was hit, Ling Xue had already left my embrace. I didn't hear anything else but the rustling sound of snowflakes drifting in the air.
Puchi!
The sound of a sword piercing flesh rang out. I opened my eyes and saw a high-level assassin frozen in ice. Ling Xue's movements were elusive, and she floated behind her opponent like a snow butterfly. Her Eternal Ice Blade slashed out with Total Annihilation!
Whoosh!
There was a flash of white light. The assassin threw a bunch of potions and returned to the city. He was a Holy Helm City player, a Level 254 Holy Domain assassin. He was very strong!
After killing the assassin, Ling Xue looked around and said softly, "There's one more, in the grass to the right …"
I immediately used Star Eyes. As expected, there was an archer hiding in the grass. He was a Level 256 Holy Domain archer with S5 equipment and a Green Dragon Longbow in his hand. He looked even stronger than Nangong Yuexi and the Magic Cube of Fate!
Damn, I was targeted by someone like this!
I groaned inwardly. The attack of a super archer was like a poisonous snake. I had to kill him in time. Otherwise, he would follow us from a distance until we were cornered and then kill us!
I glanced to the side and Ling Xue immediately signaled me. She flashed into the grass to the side like a beautiful rabbit, fast as lightning.
At the same time, I let out a low roar and condensed a cyclone of energy, activating the skill — — [Fierce Thunder Gale]!
Whoosh!
A white feather floated up and my speed increased explosively!
"Go!"
Scarlet Heaven Sword flashed and I charged out. My entire body was like a sharp sword as I shot toward the Archer in the bushes. That Archer was probably a famous figure in the American server. Seeing that I had already seen through his disguise, he quickly retreated. At the same time, he nocked an arrow on his bow and shot a Storm Arrow at me!
Suddenly, I made a turn and drew a perfect zigzag as I charged at my opponent without slowing down at all!
“oh，shit！”
The archer sensed that something was amiss. He cursed in a low voice and leapt backwards, disappearing into the bushes!
I rushed into the grass without a care for anything. At the same time, I felt a chill under my feet and my speed decreased. I was shocked. Shadow Trap?
This archer was so smart. He had dug a hole for me by retreating.
"Hah!"
Five consecutive shots came!
I hurriedly raised my shield. "Peng peng peng peng peng", the iron arrows smashed into my shield and created dazzling cyclones. My HP dropped rapidly!
“203848！”
“183477！”
“219487！”
“236464！”
“213346！”
What a powerful archer! This attack power had definitely surpassed the Magic Cube of Fate!
At this time, I finally looked at the archer's name —
ID: Lone Hero LV-256 Magic Archer
Faction: Apocalypse
Position: Guild Leader
… …
Apocalypse?!
I remembered. This guild was one of the top five super guilds in the American server. I did not expect that they would give me so much face. In order to kill me and Ling Xue, even the guild leader of the American server's Wind and Cloud Guild had personally come to attack us!
Lone Brave Hero was truly skilled and daring. The moment the Archer hid, he actually pulled out a dagger from his waist and charged over. His weapon was extremely fast and when he got close, he suddenly switched to his longbow and shot a Stun Arrow!
I quickly raised my shield and activated the skill — Shield Bash!
Weng!
The [Ice Barrier] perfectly turned into an energy shadow and scattered the enemy's Stun Arrow. The super archer, Lone Hero, did not hesitate and appeared on my right side.
The dagger was like a snake biting me. With a "puchi" sound, a flower of blood bloomed on my shoulder. It was also coated in poison!
For 10 seconds, movement speed was reduced by 25%, attack speed was reduced by 40%, and HP recovery was reduced to 0!
In a fight between experts, victory was decided in a matter of seconds!
I dodged to the side and swapped my Scarlet Heaven Sword to my left hand. I pulled horizontally and the blade flew past the lonely hero's neck!
“752947！”
That one attack had taken away more than half of his HP. Lone Hero was so shocked that he threw an arrow behind him while he moved!
Ice Arrow?!
"Pa!"
A layer of frost formed on my body, and I was slowed. Ice Arrow was a low-level skill, but it saved the Hero of the Lonely Grave's life. This person's awareness and mechanics were almost at the pinnacle.
"Let's fight another day!"
Lone Hero buffed his speed and turned into a wisp of smoke as he flew into the bushes.
Unfortunately, a beautiful god of slaughter appeared in the bushes!
Ling Xue, dressed in the War God set, rushed out with her sword and collided with Lone Hero. She smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Boom!
Sword light rose and a Profound Ice Sword Energy came at his head!
Lone Hero's face was full of despair. He had no way to dodge. Ling Xue's sword swept over at a diagonal angle, leaving no room for the opponent to dodge!
"Bang!"
“miss！”
Miraculously, Lone Hero did not die. A miss saved his life. The savior of Agility-type players, the dodging rate, was now effective!
Ling Xue was also stunned. She rushed forward and used another Ice Sealing Slash!
Whoosh!
“miss！”
Once again, the Lone Hero's luck was too good!
