"Take your equipment, food, and water. Then, let's go!"
The next morning, under the golden sunlight, the sea of trees gathered into a golden crown. The lakes were decorated with jewels. As for the Silver Winter Mountains, they were a ring of silver on the crown. On this pleasant morning, there were all kinds of shouts in the camp. Teams left the camp and scattered into the forest, each rushing to their designated hunting grounds. Soon, the teams would encounter each other, and then there would be fierce conflicts. It was like this every year.
After Julian's hunting team entered the forest, Allen's team gradually sped up and finally left the second prince. Julian's team stayed at the edge of the forest and didn't go deeper. Seeing Allen's team go further and further away, the second prince could only pray in his heart that they could finally cut off Vanishing Shadow's head. But he didn't want to waste time. Not long after, they found a wild forest boar in Berlin. Its two tusks were worth ten points!
The shadows of the trees kept retreating.
Allen urged his horse to gallop. Their team had a clear goal, and they headed straight for the Silver Winter Mountains. They passed through the forest, galloped up the hills, and went around the lakes. The Silver Winter Mountains grew larger and larger in Allen's eyes.
At noon, the team stopped to rest. Allen gave them ten minutes to get information. Yali left to scout, and the others seized the time to eat and rehydrate.
Allen tore a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth as he thought about Vanishing Shadow's information. Vanishing Shadow was a wolf-like creature. Ever since it was discovered, it had been living in the Silver Winter Mountains. The imperial scholars called it the King of Night because it liked to move at night. Based on Julian's description, Allen could roughly piece together an image of Vanishing Shadow in his mind. This demon wolf was seven or eight meters long, and its body was like a small mountain. There was a bony bulge on its head that looked like a mask. In the middle of the bony surface were three vertical eyeballs. Julian described them as the compound eyes of a spider, with many web-like lattices.
Vanishing Shadow's snow-white fur was the best camouflage it could muster. This Demon Wolf was very agile. Its claws were like sharp icicles. Prey that were injured by its claws would be invaded by the chill and eventually be unable to move. Many hunters had discovered dead wild beasts with stiff bodies in the Silver Winter Mountains. If they found something like that, the hunters wouldn't dare to bring it back because it would become Vanishing Shadow's food.
Vanishing Shadow was also protected by what looked like an exoskeleton armor. Its roar could cause avalanches, and there was a large oval crystal on each side of its back. They looked like pupils, but their function was unknown.
From the information provided by Julian, it was not hard to see that Vanishing Shadow had extraordinary speed and defense. Moreover, it was able to drive ice origin energy, and it was probably involved in high-frequency sound waves. Apart from that, it should also have some unknown abilities, such as the two unknown crystals on its back. But overall, Vanishing Shadow shouldn't be as difficult to deal with as Bing Feng. At the very least, he had never heard of Vanishing Shadow being able to command other lifeforms as her guards. If he could control the Subterrane Dwellers like Frost Wind, then it would be a headache.
Soon, the rest time was almost over. Allen frowned. Yali seemed to have been gone for too long. Suddenly, a short horn sounded in the forest ahead. It was Yali's warning. Allen immediately placed his hand on the hilt of Gojoseon's saber. He gestured, and everyone immediately moved.
Lola swept up the mud and sand to cover up the traces left behind by the crowd. Adele carried Li Xiao on her back and nimbly climbed up an ancient tree, hiding in the canopy to prepare for sniping. Gao Hu raised his battle axe and drank a mouthful of liquor before leaving. His beard was wet as he cursed behind Allen. Regis and Fares tacitly spread out and followed Allen in the direction of the horn.
Allen had just climbed over a huge rock when an arrow immediately flew into his line of sight. The triangular arrow was wrapped in a layer of misty green light as it flew towards him. Alan immediately dodged to the side and casually tugged at the Highbeard's beard, pulling the burly man down onto a rock. The arrow flew past the Highbeard's thick back and nailed itself to an ancient tree three meters away. While the tail of the arrow was still swaying, a fist-sized shallow pit suddenly exploded in the ancient tree. The arrowhead of the arrow was completely shattered, and the flying fragments tore countless holes around the gap.
One arrow after another chased after Yali.
Yali moved high and low like a ranger. He turned around and shot an arrow back, but it was difficult to hide his sorry state. Behind Yali, seven or eight black-clothed men chased after him. They divided into two groups, one to shoot, the other to pursue. Under the repeated attacks, the sharp arrows did not stop for a moment.
Seeing this, Allen let go of Gao Hu and rushed forward. Feeling his powerful pressure, the archers chasing after Yali began to greet Allen. Allen did not draw his saber. He just blocked left and right with his saber in its sheath, deflecting the arrows. At this moment, the other party rushed up with a powerful aura. One of them suddenly stopped and fell behind his companions. He pulled the bowstring in his hand like a full moon, and his entire body glowed with an astonishing green light.
He aimed at Allen and released his fingers. A crisp bow immediately rang out in the forest. The fallen leaves on the ground floated up crazily, and an arrow wrapped in green light instantly flew over.
Allen let out a muffled groan, his eyes burning with flames. Suddenly, a curtain of fire rushed up from the space three meters in front of him. The curtain of fire pulled out an inverted arc and collided with the arrow. The Origin Energy of both sides collided in midair without any fuss, producing crackling noises. The arrow exploded into pieces, and the ball of green flames dispersed.
The longbowman felt as if he had been smashed in the chest by an invisible sledgehammer. He flew backwards with a muffled shout and spat out blood. After landing on the ground, his aura was dispirited and listless. However, he ignored everything and turned around to flee.
The other archers let go of Yali and greeted Allen together. Immediately, the arrows fell like rain. Instead of retreating, Allen advanced. The arc-shaped curtain of fire pushed forward as he moved, igniting all the arrows in the air and burning them to ashes!
After another rain of arrows, someone whistled, and everyone immediately retreated into the depths of the forest. Allen narrowed his eyes and dispersed the Heavenly Flame Origin Energy, causing the curtain of fire to descend. However, at this moment, another change occurred. An ancient tree crown above Allen's head suddenly shot out leaves. A figure shot down from the crown like black lightning and clawed at Allen. A sharp whistling sound rang out in the air, and a half-meter-long, deathly gray claw mark covered the sky.
