The spear glinted coldly, and Acamas was overjoyed. "Although the Bearman is not a Medusa, and a mortal would turn into a lifeless boulder with just one look at her, she has a similar breath."
'I can kill him now!'
Even so, the five spears still fell mercilessly.
These five men were Acamas' men. Ever since Pei Zi Yun had left the dormitory, they had been following him.
Pei Zi Yun had been sending out soldiers and slaves to search for the Bearman, especially after they had entered the mountains. His men had expanded their search radius, and they had not dared to get too close.
Acamas had been looking for a chance to assassinate Pei Zi Yun, but he had not found a suitable opportunity to do so.
Finally, the Bearman had given Acamas a chance of a lifetime, and he did not hesitate to grab it.
'What great teamwork!'
'I've lured it out.' At this point, it seemed that the numbing effect had passed. Pei Zi Yun rolled on the ground, and rolled down from a high vantage point.
The slaves were flustered and didn't know what to do. However, the five of them didn't hesitate and pounced forward. They were all experienced warriors, especially Acamas, who was also a hero of Greece.
The five of them wielded their spears, and once again stabbed towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun continued to rush forward, and with a point of his sword, two sounds were heard, and two spears were deflected.
The moment the spears were deflected, Acamas moved his hands, and the spear drew an arc in the air, and with a forceful push, it stabbed towards Pei Zi Yun's back.
Pei Zi Yun leapt up, and with one foot on a huge rock, he bounced off. At this point, the others gave chase again.
A few more spears stabbed towards Pei Zi Yun. Looking over, he saw the five men pouncing on him like wolves and tigers. Seeing that Paris was only running away, he thought that he was nothing more than that.
Both sides exchanged blows, and in the blink of an eye, they had separated from each other by a large distance.
"Who are you, and why do you want to assassinate me?" Pei Zi Yun asked the assassins, even though he already knew who they were.
The five of them had a tacit understanding, and none of them answered the question. Instead, they attacked even more ferociously.
"Zeus's eyes are following us, and they're all focused on me and Akamas." Pei Zi Yun was secretly delighted, and ran towards the forest at an even faster speed.
"Prince Paris was born in the year of the rabbit? How can he run so fast? Hurry up and kill him. We can't let him leave. "
Since they had already met, King Menastos would know who Pei Zi Yun was. Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was getting further and further away, Akamas could no longer hold it in and said in a hoarse voice.
The weary werebear man finally breathed his last breath. A werebear man's soul floated up and was guided by the Underworld Earth, disappearing in a flash.
No one noticed this at all, because everyone thought that the Bearman was already dead.
"Success!" Pei Zi Yun could feel the werebear's spirit disappearing, and his gaze not wavering. He heaved a sigh of relief. This fight had come at the right time. For the first time in his life, he felt like thanking the assassin.
However, the entire process was like walking on a tightrope. A slight carelessness could cause all the previous efforts to go to waste. But in order to improve, he had to do this.
Before he reached Sparta, he had to hunt for monsters to kill. There were risks, but the rewards were great. This time, he had made the right gamble. He had managed to take the werebear man's soul under Zeus's nose.
Now that the threat was gone, he showed no mercy. His figure, which was originally charging forward, suddenly bent and turned. The person behind him could not stop running, and with a flash of his sword, his neck was cut in half. He screamed and blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground. Pei Zi Yun pounced again, and grabbed the man's spear, and threw it at him.
"Pu!" Another scream was heard. The man who had been charging forward had been pierced by the spear, and it went straight through him.
"Paris!" Akamas finally could not hold it in any longer, and called out his name, waving his spear at him.
"Hmph, you bunch of assassins have finally revealed yourselves. Speak, who are you?" Pei Zi Yun's body flashed, and he dodged Akamas, rushing towards another person.
"Woo!" This person was also a warrior, and he gathered his strength. But unexpectedly, Pei Zi Yun bent down, grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it at him.
The sand flew everywhere, and this person subconsciously raised his arm to block, but the long sword came flying at him.
"Pu!" The sound of a long sword piercing through a person's body was always creepy and exciting.
When the remaining two people flanked him from the left and right, they saw their friend slowly slipping down. His eyes were filled with anger and despair.
"No!"
"You despicable person, you don't deserve to be a hero."
"Five people plotting against one, and you call me a hero?" Pei Zi Yun said expressionlessly. At this time, the slaves had already rushed over.
"You guys kill that one, leave this one to me." Pei Zi Yun ordered. Akamas was angry and frustrated. He did not expect Prince Paris to be so difficult to deal with. With a loud shout, he pounced towards Pei Zi Yun again.
Five people were no match for him, and now there was only one left. Akamas's attacks were all easily countered by Pei Zi Yun.
In Akamas's eyes, Prince Paris was like a cat playing with a mouse, mocking it. It felt like its dignity had been severely violated. It roared in anger, and with bloodshot eyes, it continued to stab Pei Zi Yun, as if it had the urge to bite Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun smiled, and in a flash, he lifted his right leg slightly. Akamas tripped, and fell to the ground.
Because it was too forceful, Akamas rolled a few times on the ground before it finally stopped.
At this time, he heard a scream. Pei Zi Yun turned around and saw the corpses of two slaves lying on the ground. Four or five spears had pierced through one of them, and he fell heavily to the ground, his mouth full of blood.
In order to verify his guess, Pei Zi Yun picked up a spear from the ground and threw it at Akamas, who had just climbed out of the ground.
He had calculated that the spear would hit, but when it neared, it missed and only grazed Akamas.
Pei Zi Yun immediately knew that he would not be able to kill Akamas for now. The gods did not like heroes dying before the Battle of Troy, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Pei Zi Yun walked towards Akamas, but he did not take out his sword. Instead, he started punching and kicking him.
Sure enough, he would not be stopped.
Akamas was beaten until his face was swollen, and he cried out in pain. Pei Zi Yun stopped and pointed his sword at Akamas. "Who are you?"
Seeing Acamas's eyes darting around, Pei Zi Yun knew that he was lying. He shook his head and pointed at the items on the floor, "Warriors, spears, shields, armor. These are not things that just anyone can have."
"I'll tell you, I'm a noble from the city who sent me to assassinate you. As for why they want to assassinate you, I really have no idea."
Akamas said 'sincerely'. If Pei Zi Yun did not know it was him, he might have been fooled.
"You're lying, but it doesn't matter. When I drag these four corpses and you into the city, I guarantee that people will recognize you," Pei Zi Yun said coldly.
Akamas knew that if he did not say anything, Prince Paris might really do it. Their appearances were not a secret. If that happened, the whole city would know, and he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Many people in Athens were unhappy with Theseus and forced him to leave. However, there were also people who sympathized with him. Otherwise, how could Demophon have been able to seize the throne of Athens? However, if something like this happened, King Menastos could take the opportunity to smear Prince Paris' reputation. Prince Paris was killing monsters for Athens, while Theseus' son was assassinating them!
This would destroy half of Theseus' inheritance. Thinking of this, Akamas regretted it. He said, "I am Theseus' son, Akamas. Kill me!"
"Theseus' son?" Pei Zi Yun pretended to be surprised. "But you and I have no grudge. Why do you want to kill me?"
Akamas was speechless. He could not possibly say that Pei Zi Yun wanted to kill the monster, which prevented him from obtaining the throne of Menastos.
If he said that, he could not guarantee that Pei Zi Yun would not take him to Menastos to claim credit.
Seeing that Akamas was speechless, Pei Zi Yun kept his sword and said, "For the sake of your father, the great Theseus, I will give you two options."
When Akamas heard that Pei Zi Yun would give him two options, his heart sank. He was filled with bitterness. Until now, he was still relying on Theseus' reputation.
"First, I will bring you to Athens. I believe that the king will be very interested in the son of Theseus who assassinated a prince."
Hearing this, Akamas' heart sank.
"Second, I will let you go. You can bring the bodies of your friends and subordinates with you, but you have to swear to the gods that you will pay the ransom yourself." Pei Zi Yun said.
Choosing the first option was impossible. How could he let himself fall into the hands of Menastos? Akamas chose the second option without a doubt.
Akamas knelt on the ground and raised his hands high. He said, "Respected Zeus, your people, Akamas, swear to you that I will pay the ransom to Prince Paris. If I break this promise, I hope that you will punish me."
"Since you have already sworn to the gods, you can leave with your friends and subordinates." Pei Zi Yun said as he sheathed his sword. He felt a little pity in his heart.
"After killing a hero, he must be as strong as the monster. Maybe even stronger." Pei Zi Yun ordered his slaves to cut off the bear-man's head. He then organized his troops and left the mountain.
Seeing that Prince Paris was leaving, Akamas shouted, "Aren't you afraid that I won't pay the ransom?"
"As long as you are not afraid of the gods' punishment." Pei Zi Yun replied. Compared to gold, he actually hoped that Akamas would break his promise. He wanted to see how the gods would punish him.
After leaving the forest, Pei Zi Yun got on his horse and sank his consciousness into the dimension.
He saw a small palace floating in the air above the dark dimension. The entire dimension had expanded a little. Although it was very small, he could still feel it.
On one side of the palace, between the two pillars, there was a new one. Under the new pillar, there was an iron statue of a bear-man. It looked very lifelike, and at this moment, there was a mist seeping out of the statue.
"System."
A Plum Blossom appeared in front of him and quickly grew bigger. It turned into an information interface with a faint light. On it, Pei Zi Yun's current level was displayed.
"Hero Bloodline: Second Tier (95.7%)"
In such a short period of time, it had grown so much. This was not because of the bear-man, but because of the reputation he had gained from passing through many cities. Now, as the mist seeped out of the statue, the statistics would jump. He would be able to level up soon enough.
