"We ran into mountain bandits with an archer squad?!"
Eleventh Crane was forced back to the back of the carriage by the arrow shower that came from the forest. He felt gloomy. Even though the damage of the arrows that came from the forest had not reached Grandmaster Realm, they were still in the eighth or ninth realm. Their arrows were powerful, and they were not soft and useless arrows.
With their advantage in numbers and geographical advantage, they suppressed Eleventh Crane, who was a veteran archer, so much so that he could not even lift his head!
"Damn it! Young 'Worry! Lure the firepower away! The escorts can't hold on anymore! "
Eleventh Crane leaned against the back of the carriage and shouted loudly.
Ghost's Worry turned his head around and cast a glance at the armed escorts beside him. Two of them had already been shot down. There were at least four arrows in their thighs and arms, and they could only use one arm to block the arrows. They were in a perilous situation.
Orchid Researcher and Dawn Lotus were terrified by the arrow shower that came from the forest. They did not dare show their faces. Xu Lang was also a useless follower, so if they did not shout for Ghost's Worry, who else could they shout for?
"We can't leave! If the horses die, how are we supposed to complete the quest?! "
When Ghost's Worry answered, he was distracted, and an arrow struck his chest!
"Ah!"
Before Ghost's Worry could shout, Orchid Researcher saw the terrifying scene behind him and cried out in surprise. Dawn Lotus's pretty face was pale. She grabbed her sword and rushed out to block the two armed escorts.
In just an instant, a few wounds appeared on her arms.
Orchid Researcher nearly cried when she saw this. She bit her bottom lip and pounced forward as well.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Her angry voice quivered as if she was crying, as if she had been bullied by someone.
The two women's interference finally turned the dangerous situation in front of the carriage slightly. The four armed escorts' lives were temporarily saved, and the horses pulling the carriages were not injured!
But …
The mountain bandits in the forest seemed to have decided to end the fight with an arrow shower. When they saw that the people under them continued to fight back stubbornly and that the arrow showers did not stop, a few of them chose to focus on suppressing the only long-range threat behind the carriage — Eleventh Crane.
"Damn it! The bandits in the mountain stronghold have all turned into fucking monsters! "
Eleventh Crane was incredibly angry.
If it were not for Xu Lang following behind him, he would have rushed out of the carriage with his Grandmaster Realm bow a long time ago and killed them. But since Xu Lang's safety could not be guaranteed, he could only suppress this crazy thought and place his hopes on Happy, who had disappeared for some time.
He firmly believed.
Happy should have sensed the abnormality in the forest beforehand.
Just hold on for a while longer, and the rain of arrows will definitely stop.
As long as he was given a moment to catch his breath, it would be the death of these people!
Just as he thought of this, panicked screams suddenly rang out in the forest.
Immediately after, the originally dense rain of arrows became much sparser, and the threat was not as great as before.
"Xiao Chou, you're injured. Stay here!"
Dawn Lotus felt the pressure on her lessen. She easily pushed aside the two arrows and rushed into the forest beside the road without looking back.
"Sister Fu, wait for me."
Orchid Researcher did not want to be outdone. She lifted her sword and chased after him. She did not even hear Eleventh Crane's shouts from behind her.
"Come back … these two girls!"
Eleventh Crane put down the bow and arrow in his hands. He felt incredibly gloomy. The two girls had clearly forgotten that Xu Lang was with him, even though his fighting abilities were weak. He had been hoping that the two girls could protect Xu Lang so that he could do whatever he wanted, but now that they were gone, if Eleventh Crane recklessly rushed into the forest with Xu Lang, Xu Lang's life would be in danger.
Furthermore …
The two girls did not have much experience. If they rashly entered the forest, they might encounter danger.
…
When they were less than sixty-five feet into the forest, an empty space appeared in front of them. Weapons clashed against each other, and the place was filled with corpses dressed in tight white robes. They did not look like mountain bandits.
Happy chased after the people in white with a murderous aura. The frequency at which he threw his lancet knives was incredibly fast, and every time he threw them, he would take away two lives.
"Heaven Domination Sect disciples?!"
Orchid Researcher stopped moving and looked around. Shock quickly appeared on her face.
The emblem of Heaven Domination Sect could still be vaguely seen on the chests of the corpses in white. The two girls instantly understood what was going on. It was no wonder why they did not receive a notification from the system for the quest to protect the tributes. They had also been surrounded by arrow showers from the start to the end.
"Damn it!"
When they thought about how they had nearly died under the arrow showers from Heaven Domination Sect disciples, the two girls were instantly enraged.
"Those bastards!"
Happy arrived in front of the two girls with a dark expression.
In truth, when he passed by the area while scouting, he had sensed that there was something off about the atmosphere. There were too many footprints and signs of people stepping on the road. These were things that mountain bandits would not leave behind.
That was why he secretly activated Cloud Treading Steps and entered the forest with the intention to see what was going on.
But what he did not expect was that right when he moved, Eleventh Crane would alarm the ambushers in the forest. Arrows rained down, and they nearly killed the four escorts and horses beside the carriage.
In his anger, Happy became even more certain that the people hiding in the forest were players and not mountain bandits.
Even though he was shocked, Happy did not expect that the people who stole the tributes would be his old enemy, Gusu City's Heaven Domination Sect.
When he noticed the group of archers in the forest firing arrows madly and the guards protecting them by the side, the negative emotions Happy had suppressed for an entire night turned into boundless anger, and it instantly erupted from his body!
His lancet knives attacked continuously, and in an instant, he killed four people.
While they were panicking, he jumped into the crowd from the tree and threw the twenty or so archers into chaos. More than ten people died under his Green Jade Heavenly Silkworm's hands.
When the people from Heaven Domination Sect saw that Happy had died, they burst into commotion.
Happy had actually charged into their midst alone, and the group quickly switched to their weapons in preparation to surround and kill him! But they could not surround and kill him. With a leap, Happy vanished from the crowd. Once the throwing knives reached them, they would definitely die.
The throwing knives came without a sound!
When the eighth person died at the perimeter, the people from Heaven Domination Sect finally noticed it, and they panicked and fled.
If it were in the past, Happy would have found it beneath him to chase after them!
But this time …
They were already far away from Gusu City, but the people from Heaven Domination Sect were still lurking in the dark and plotting against him. They had nearly killed his people, and no matter what, Happy would not let them go so easily.
If he let this group of people escape, the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect might think that he was a good-tempered person who could be bullied easily!
Whoosh!
He tapped against the ground and activated Cloud Treading Steps at full speed to chase after them.
The lancet knives became the best soul harvesting tool in Happy's hands. Wherever the throwing knives went, the Heaven Domination Sect members fell to the ground with grunts, and no one knew if they were still alive or dead.
In their panic, no one thought about splitting up and fleeing. They just kept fleeing.
There was no way the Heaven Domination Sect members could outrun Happy, whose lightness skill was at its peak. From the start to the end, they could not escape the range of Happy's throwing knives, and Happy chased after them smoothly. That was why Orchid Researcher and Dawn Lotus saw the corpses of the people in white all along the way.
"You killed all of them so quickly? Why didn't you leave a few for us? "
"Silly girl, these are all players. Did you think that they're NPCs with low intelligence?" Dawn Lotus cast Orchid Researcher a resigned glance. Once she finished speaking, she turned to Happy and asked, "Did they come for you, or did they come to steal the tribute?"
"They should have come for me."
Happy cast a glance at the wounds on the two women, and his heart tensed. 'The danger brought by players is indeed greater than that of NPCs. Looks like I'll have to be more careful in the future!'
At the same time, he swore in his heart that the day I return will be the day I destroy Heaven Domination Sect's headquarters!
