Chapter 405 [Mastery of the Legendary Staff]
Elf Forest, Akara Valley,
The arrow shot by Wilbur disappeared directly into the shadow of the forest, silently.
"Don't panic, the enemy is at most one person."
Wilbur shouted, stabilizing the panic of his men.
His bad premonition came true, but the best news now may be that the attackers were not those annoying Elf Guards.
Wilbur, who had dealt with the Elf Guards many times, was very clear about the rules of those elves' actions. They could not act independently, and at least they were a team of three.
And the current situation, the person who attacked secretly was quite powerful, at least a gold-level existence.
Such a strong man in the Elf Guard must be followed by a silver-level elf team.
Be careful, there is still a chance!
Wilbur glanced at his nervous and alert men, and a plan came to his mind.
But he had to hurry up, he didn't know who the attackers were, and if it was an elf, it was very likely that they had the means to contact the Elf Guards.
If the Elf Guards really got entangled, it would be very troublesome.
Time is very tight. If the person who attacked him cannot be dealt with in a short time, he can only abandon these men and flee.
At this time, even the two elf slaves Wilbur will give up without hesitation.
Wilbur knows that if he is not decisive at this time, there is a high possibility that there will be no next time.
This is his experience of successfully escaping from the Elf Forest many times.
Now.
Wilbur is highly focused and observes the situation around him.
The arrows shot from the dark just now really exceeded his expectations, so that he did not notice anything unusual.
Is the person who attacked him a hunter or a ranger?
Wilbur glanced at the surrounding forest. He didn't think that the attack he had just returned would really work.
Now the man may still be lurking in the dark, waiting for him to reveal a flaw.
After waiting for a long time without any movement, Wilbur knew that the other party was delaying time, but he couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, the men recruited by Wilbur came into play.
"Jason, take that elf with you, we'll leave now."
"Everyone be careful."
Wilbur ordered his men to take the elf next to the companion who was killed by the hidden arrow, and it seemed that they were preparing to leave this place quickly.
Although he said so, he did not take any action directly, but focused on observing the movements around him.
The person lurking in the dark noticed that they were leaving and would definitely take action.
Bang!
The same bowstring sound came from another part of the forest.
Along with the bowstring sound, another companion who was carrying an elf fell to the ground with a thud, and an arrow also pierced his forehead.
Seeing his companion's miserable state, Jason, who was ordered by Wilbur to carry the elf, quickly withdrew his hand and stepped back several steps in succession to avoid it.
He saw that anyone who touched the elf would be attacked by the sneak attacker.
At least for them, silver-level professionals, there was no way to resist the attack of this arrow with inexplicable power.
See it clearly!
Wilbur was secretly shocked.
He noticed that the arrows shot at him had a dark grey special power attached to them.
He was very familiar with this power and was sure that it was the shadow power used by the gold-level assassin!
No wonder the attack happened so secretly. Even he, a gold-level hunter, did not react when the arrows were shot for the first time.
Wilbur stood up and ran in the direction where the arrows came from, but he was a little confused.
There are assassins who use bows and arrows, but they are really rare.
Thanks to the special effects of the shadow power, assassins can get extra stealth bonuses when using weapons for long-range attacks, but assassins are more likely to use short blades, daggers and other throwing weapons, and it is rare to use bows and arrows.
However, judging from the arrow attack just now, it is indeed the power of the gold level.
In the jungle, hunters are still more advantageous when facing assassins. The strong perception allows hunters to often discover the hidden assassins first.
Pah!
When Wilbur stood up and ran into the jungle, he put his hands together, and a faint white light gathered behind him.
"Cry~"
As the scream sounded, a pale blue gray forest owl emerged from the pale white light and appeared behind Wilbur.
This is Wilbur's domesticated pet, and also a good helper for him in the Elf Forest.
The sharp eyes of the gray forest owl can see extremely subtle movements in the distance, and can even detect the flow of extraordinary power.
Wilbur summoned the pet to prevent the target from escaping.
No matter who attacked, it would be bad if he escaped and notified the Elf Guard. It is better to let this person stay here forever.
When the man attacked just now, Wilbur's hunter instinct had already locked the target.
Telepathically controlling the gray forest owl to fly into the sky, overlooking the situation below, Wilbur quickly attacked the target.
What surprised him a little was that no matter his own induction or the feedback of the gray forest owl, the enemy looked at him rushing towards him without any action, but just stood there quietly.
He didn't choose to dodge, shouldn't he?
You know, the most important thing for an assassin is to hide your body and launch powerful attacks from the dark.
Once they lose the initiative, except for some special professions, assassins' frontal combat capabilities are far weaker than those of normal extraordinary professionals.
Although hunters are not very strong in frontal combat, they are much better than assassins.
Wilbur was confused, but he had to shoot the arrow on the string, so he drew the dagger at his waist and stabbed at the target.
After getting close, Wilbur had seen the target clearly.
It was a handsome human youth, and the longbow in his hand flashing with dark gray light confirmed that it was him who had just attacked.
Not an elf?
Wilbur was confused, and the dagger in his hand did not hesitate at all, stabbing at the opponent's neck.
Suddenly, Wilbur saw the opponent's eyes.
That look, relaxed with a hint of ridicule?
Before Wilbur could react to what happened, he felt that the dagger stabbed out by his right hand seemed to hit an unshakable iron wall.
At this time, Wilbur saw that the young man just raised his left hand and relied on the black gauntlet on his left hand to resist his attack.
How could this be possible?
This was his full-strength attack!
Wilbur was even a little dazed for a moment, and couldn't believe what he saw.
He took his attack with just one hand, and there was no sense of reluctance, which meant that the opponent had completely surpassed him in terms of strength attributes.
This shouldn't be the case. The assassin profession, like the hunter, is a profession with enhanced agility.
How did this young man do it? Is it the effect of some special equipment or props?
Although he was shocked, Wilbur's movements did not stop. After missing the attack, he retreated and kept his distance, looking at the young man in front of him cautiously.
Li Si smiled and looked at the golden hunter Wilbur standing not far in front of him.
Really confident, this is easy!
Putting away the longbow in his right hand, Li Si's consciousness moved, and his body suddenly turned into a dark gray shadow and disappeared on the spot.
"Not good!"
Wilbur saw this scene, and he was ready to continue to test it. He quickly turned back to look at where his companions were.
Li Si appeared beside the two fainted elves, and his figure turned into a shadow and quickly approached the two companions under him. After a moment, he returned to the original place, and a few drops of bright red blood dripped from the dagger in his hand.
In Wilbur's eyes, the last two companions covered their necks with horror, but the blood gushing out could not be stopped. After struggling, they could only fall to the ground powerlessly.
At this point, Wilbur was the only one left in the [Black Panther] slave hunting group.
"Damn it!"
Wilbur looked gloomy, looking at Li Si waving a dagger in the distance to remove the blood on it.
At this time, how could he not know the purpose of the person in front of him.
He used a bow and arrow to shoot the two companions who controlled the elves from a distance, and at the same time led himself out, and finally used the [Shadow Shuttle] skill to quickly approach the remaining two companions and kill them.
Everything this person did was to save the two captured elves.
Worried that he would kill the two elves directly when he saw that the situation was not right.
Although he figured out the other party's purpose, Wilbur had no other way.
The two elves were already under the control of the other party, and he had completely lost the bargaining chips in his hands.
As for defeating the young man in front of him, Wilbur had no confidence.
In the short fight with Li Si just now, Li Si showed strength and weirdness, which made Wilbur have no confidence in defeating Li Si in a short time.
Li Si's skillful and rapid use of [Shadow Shuttle] also made Wilbur clear that although Li Si in front of him was young, he was experienced and did not look like a person who had just broken through to the gold level.
There was no way!
Wilbur looked at Li Si angrily, and chose to turn around and enter the forest immediately and leave here.
"Wow, so decisive?"
Li Si was originally prepared to wait for this gold-level hunter to come over and take him down, but he did not expect that the other party did not hesitate at all and directly chose to give up the elves in hand and left the scene.
He cast a few protective spells to protect the two elves lying on the ground, and sent a message to Cecil to let her come over. Li Si flashed and chased after the fleeing Wilbur.
He did not have the idea of leaving a way out when doing things.
The dead are still the most trustworthy!
Anyway, the two elves have been protected, and Li Si is not worried about the other party's dying struggle.
"Is this man sick?"
Wilbur felt the huge pressure from behind him and couldn't help cursing.
I even gave up those two high-level guys, why are you chasing me?
Wilbur felt that the young man in front of him was just trying to rob the thieves, so he attacked him and snatched the elf slaves.
He had seen this kind of thing before, and he had done it himself.
We are already a slave hunting group, what rules are there?
This is also one of the reasons why Wilbur gave up the elf slaves so decisively.
I've given you everything, you have to let me go, right?
But Li Si in front of him followed him like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Even with his strength as a gold-level hunter and rich experience in the Elf Forest, he couldn't get rid of Li Si.
Even the distance is getting closer and closer!
Can't run away!
Wilbur felt the breath of Li Si behind him, and he knew this in his heart, and gritted his teeth and stopped.
With a wave of his right hand, several dim spiritual lights flew out of his hand and landed on the ground and tree trunks in front of him. He took out his longbow and pointed it at the back.
Hunter's advanced combat skill [Arrow Rain Storm]!
Wilbur's right hand turned into a series of phantoms and quickly swung the longbow. Countless arrows containing light blue light flew straight ahead, like a violent storm.
Countless arrows destroyed everything in front of him. The branches and green leaves of the trees were turned into dust and blown away in the wind in this powerful attack.
After a while, Wilbur's right hand couldn't stop shaking. He stopped attacking and looked at the clouds of dust in front of him that were rolled up by the rain of arrows.
"It's amazing. Even this skill has been mastered."
"No wonder you dare to catch elves in the forest of elves."
Hearing the voice coming from the smoke and dust, Wilbur's face turned pale.
Li Si waved his hand, and a breeze swept away the smoke and dust in front of him. Wilbur could see Li Si's situation clearly.
The young man in front of him was holding an emerald staff in his hand, his body was covered by several layers of pale white barriers, and he was looking at him with a smile.
If it weren't for the open space around Li Si, which was different from the forest, and the exposed black soil and the traces of the sharp blade, Wilbur would have thought that his attack just now had not happened.
But this situation really exceeded his expectations.
This young man is a mage?
The fact that was like a fairy tale was placed in front of Wilbur, making him a little confused.
How could this be possible? Whether it was the assassin skills used just now, or the power far beyond his, it was not close to the mage anyway?
"You have a twin brother?"
Wilbur looked at Li Si with a confused face and asked suddenly.
What the hell?
Li Si looked at Wilbur with amusement. Was he hit and lost his mind?
He hadn't hit hard yet!
The staff moved, and several dark blue fireballs flew from Li Si to the open space and trees in front of Wilbur.
Crack!
The dark blue flame spread, and a special sound sounded, as if it hit something.
Wilbur's face changed and instantly became gloomy.
This was too cautious. The traps he set up temporarily were discovered by the other party.
So experienced, the person opposite must be an old monster, right?
Just when Wilbur opened his mouth to say something, he saw Li Si's violent spell attack flying towards him.
Li Si was too lazy to say anything to this person. He was just a "poaching" leader. He didn't even want to recruit him.
Not long after, Li Si stepped on Wilbur's body that turned into rags and opened the system panel.
