The forest was silent.
The paper fan in Class One Hall's Chief Promise Clouds' hand had already been replaced by a high-grade masterpiece, Profound Green Sword, which shone with a green light. The first-echelon Profound Green Sword's attack was 600 points, and its attributes were not something a normal player could have.
But …
The first-echelon Profound Green Sword was held tightly in Promise Clouds' hands, but it did not give him any sense of security.
Thud …
Thud!
Behind Promise Clouds was a young man in his twenties. He held a sword in one hand and pressed against the wound on his abdomen with the other. His face was pale and filled with terror as he stared at the forest around him. Blood swiftly flowed out of the gaps between his fingers and slowly dripped to the ground.
There were also nine Class One Hall elites with great equipment around Promise Clouds. However, each of them had a similar expression of fear on their faces. They had their weapons drawn, and they nervously formed a circle while they stared at the forest around them. These people all had wounds on their bodies to varying degrees.
More than ten corpses were scattered all over the ground outside the circle formation. Based on their equipment, these people should not be any weaker than those who were standing.
"Damn it …"
Promise Clouds maintained his defensive posture while being wary of his surroundings. He gritted his teeth, but his gaze never relaxed. His palms had long since been drenched in sweat.
The group had chosen to set up an ambush based on Beautiful Robes Faction's progress. There were a total of twenty-five Class One Hall core members, and their combat prowess was only slightly inferior to Evil Wolf's. Each of them could fight on their own.
With such a lineup, they should have been able to easily pierce through and destroy a large group of Beautiful Robes Faction members, but when they heard the noise and were prepared to take action, they were ambushed from all directions in the forest.
The hidden weapons came very suddenly! They were incredibly fast! They could not see the trajectory of the attacks, and the first wave of attacks killed five people! They were instantly killed!
When they activated their body fortifications and were prepared to pounce into the forest to drag out the ambushers, they discovered to their terror and despair that the hidden weapons had the effect of breaking defenses. Eleven people were killed on the way. They did not even have the chance to cry out for help. One dart that could break defenses destroyed their body fortifications, then pierced through their bodies, and they died on the ground.
How many enemies were there?
They did not know!
Who were the enemies?
They did not know!
Even the people who were attacked did not receive any notifications from the system.
It was the first time Promise Clouds ran into such a situation. Even though he was stunned by the two rounds of rapid attacks, he still instinctively chose to protect himself. Once he formed a circular formation and saw that no more hidden weapons appeared in the forest, he calmed down the anger and humiliation in his heart. Without batting an eyelid, he ordered his people softly, "Be on high alert and maintain the formation. We're leaving the forest."
He was right.
Leaving the forest was their only option at the moment. They didn't know what method the enemy had used to avoid the prompts, and they even used the forest to hide themselves. If this continued, they wouldn't know the enemy's name until they died.
What was worse was …
With the passage of time, a dazzling rocket signal exploded from another part of the forest in the distance. This was a distress signal that they had agreed to use in an emergency.
This meant that something unexpected had happened on the main battlefield, and they couldn't hold on any longer!
If they continued fighting in the forest, there was a high possibility that the four hundred people on the other side would be completely wiped out. After all, Beautiful Robes Faction had quite a number of Mystical Realm elites with great equipment.
Whoosh!
Right when the circular formation moved, a black arc tore through the air and tore through the silence in the forest. It cut through their path like a bolt of lightning.
The attack was stopped, and right when Promise Clouds and the others were on guard, several sounds of air being sliced through appeared beside them.
Blood gushed into the air.
"Go!"
"Charge out!"
This was the sign that the intensity of the ambush was about to increase. Promise Clouds panicked. He circulated his qi madly, and the group jumped into the air at the same time. At the fastest speed possible, they charged to the edge of the forest.
Their robes fluttered in the air.
"Urk!"
The sounds of hidden weapons slicing through the air had indeed increased. Under the cover of the forest, they were like black threads that accurately stabbed into two people's bodies.
They lost two people …
Eight!
They were Class One Hall's core disciples. They had yet to make a name for themselves in the game, but they were definitely very valuable in Class One Hall. Right then, when they saw their companions fall to the ground, Promise Clouds felt his heart bleed. He did not have the time to check whether his dead companions had dropped anything. The group did not stop and endured the pain in their hearts as they continued charging into the distance.
However …
Their hatred toward the enemy hiding in the forest became even stronger!
More attacks came one after another.
The attacks in the forest were even fiercer than the previous two waves!
The continuous sounds of air being sliced through became more frequent. They came wave after wave, and their speed was astonishing. They were so fast that Promise Clouds and the others broke out in cold sweat. They felt as if a very powerful nightmare was approaching them madly.
One … two … three …
Their companions fell behind and died nonstop.
But!
They had already reached the end of the forest.
The sudden brightness of the forest caused the remaining five people to be incredibly excited. The attacks behind them seemed to have suddenly stopped because they were about to leave the forest.
"We're saved!"
Before Promise Clouds and the others could smile because they had just survived a desperate situation, they were blocked by a person not too far away from them, and their expressions froze.
Not too far away in front of them was a person who held swords with both hands. He stood there quietly, and his cold eyes stared at the five people's faces through the incomplete silver mask.
The cold and familiar killing intent and the row of boomerangs that landed in front of the person caused the five people to freeze. They sucked in sharp breaths, and they subconsciously stopped.
Parting hooks!
Boomerangs!
Promise Clouds' gaze focused, and he suddenly stopped moving. He remembered a person Evil Wolf had mentioned to him in private not too long ago.
The mysterious elite who had fought on equal grounds against Lu Mingyue in an unknown town but had lost contact with him afterward seemed to be the person in front of him.
"Silver Wolf!"
Promise Clouds called out to the person in front of him in a tentative manner. He was still not certain that Silver Wolf was the one who did what happened just now. To be more specific, he could not believe that twenty of his companions had died alone!
Silver Wolf looked up and cast a faint glance at Promise Clouds before he said slowly, "You're right.
He said slowly, "Take a step forward, and you will die."
"It's you! You're the one who killed my brothers!" Before Promise Clouds could say anything, the four people behind him rushed forward. They did not know Silver Wolf, and when they saw the enemy appear, they were prepared to vent all their anger without hesitation. There was only one thought in their minds — revenge.
Silver Wolf moved his hands at the same time and agilely picked up two boomerangs. The two boomerangs looked as if they had left his hands, and they shot into the forest from a spot that was several feet away from Promise Clouds and the others.
The four people from Class One Hall laughed savagely at the same time. They thought that Silver Wolf had been scared silly by them.
Only Promise Clouds suddenly remembered something when he saw it, and his expression changed drastically.
"Careful!"
But it was too late!
He swept his leg.
The ten throwing knives were sent flying into the air by Silver Wolf.
He swung his parting hooks, and the ten boomerangs drew strange arcs in the air as if they were scattered by a goddess. They went to the four people.
