Xia Feng retracted his spear and turned to leave, preparing to carry out the second step of his plan.
There were basically no safe places in the wilderness of Ain Grand, and this forest was no exception.
On the other side.
"Boss, it's bad. Team C has been wiped out.”An Assassin subordinate said to the Assassin leader.
The Assassin leader was shocked. He pulled out the team name list and looked at it. As expected, three of the names had already turned gray.
"I didn't expect that I still underestimated him. A team of three people is not his match.”The assassin leader's voice was very solemn. "At first, when I saw the traces left behind by the crossroads, I thought he was just trying to disrupt our vision. Now it seems that he simply wants to defeat us one by one. Humph! How bold. Let's go back immediately and meet up with Team B. I don't believe that he's a match for six people.”
After saying that, the assassin leader led his two subordinates and ran back. Before he split up, he requested that they return to the crossroad if anything happened.
"Will Xia Feng attack us or Team B before we meet up?”As they ran, the Assassin who had discovered the death of his teammate asked.
"Impossible, we don't have enough time.”the Assassin leader said with certainty.
That's right, there wasn't enough time, so Xia Feng couldn't use the same trick again. If they went back to the crossroad to intercept the Assassins, they might run into the Assassins at the crossroad. If one were to take a straight path from the tree to intercept the Assassins on the other branches, not only would the speed be a problem, but the path would also be unstable. One could not expect to jump all the trees in a straight line. Moreover, Xia Feng might not be able to accurately locate the assassin. That was why he had a second plan.
Soon, the assassins successfully met up at the crossroad.
"Boss, what should we do now?" an assassin asked.
"Chase this way." The Assassin leader pointed at the fork that Team C had taken. "His movement speed is about the same as ours. Since we didn't meet him here, it means that he hasn't returned and is still there.”
His judgment was correct.
The six assassins immediately set off and chased after him. Very quickly, they caught up to the place where Xia Feng had ambushed Team C's assassins.
"Based on Team C's movement speed and the time they were killed, they should have arrived around here and encountered Xia Feng's attack.”The Assassin leader analyzed. "Use the Enemy Searching skill to search carefully in this area. We should be able to find traces of Xia Feng.”
The assassins easily discovered Xia Feng's footprints.
"Strange, why is there only so little?”Looking at the footprints on the ground, the assassin leader fell into confusion.
There was only one person's footprint on the ground. It was definitely Xia Feng's because assassins had learned stealth skills and would not leave footprints. Strangely, these footprints were all gathered in the middle of the road, but there was no beginning or end.
"If nothing goes wrong, this is the battlefield.”The Assassin leader looked at Xia Feng's footprints on the ground. "But why are there only footprints here and no footprints coming and going? Could it be that the other party fell from the sky?”
As the Assassin leader thought about it, he raised his head in confusion, wanting to see if Xia Feng had really descended from the sky. Then, he saw the trunk of a tree. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
"I see. I finally understand his trick. Hahaha!" The assassin leader felt that everything made sense. "When we first entered the forest and found that his footprints had disappeared, I thought that our intelligence was wrong. He had learned a stealth skill to cover his footprints. Now, it seemed that the information was right. He did not have any learning support.”
"Then how did he hide his traces?”an Assassin asked.
"He's hiding in a tree." The Assassin leader was full of confidence as he pointed at a tree.
In fact, he was right.
The five assassins looked at the leader of the assassins with admiration. Although they were all wearing masks, the leader of the assassins couldn't see their expressions.
"Come out!" The leader of the assassins suddenly shouted to the surroundings. "I know you're lying in ambush nearby. Since you set up such a trap to kill the three of them, you can't just give up after killing three. You want to kill all of us, right?”
For a long time, everything in the forest was normal. There was no movement. The five assassins looked at the leader of the assassins, not knowing what he was up to. The assassin leader's expression remained unchanged. Although the others couldn't see it, it was still because he was wearing a mask.
"I was just tricking him. He definitely wants to kill us all, so he might be lying in ambush nearby.”As he spoke, the Assassin leader's voice revealed a hint of cruelty. "You want to kill us? It seemed that prey did not have the self-awareness of being prey!”
However, the prey in his eyes had already killed four hunters. Even so, the five assassins did regain some confidence after hearing his words. One had to know that Xia Feng's previous series of methods had shaken them to a large extent.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz ~"
"What's that sound?" An Assassin who heard the voice first asked in confusion. The other assassins also pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"It sounds like bees." Another assassin said uncertainly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, which was the direction of the road. A figure rushed towards them. When the figure approached, the assassins finally saw that it was Xia Feng. Everyone was dumbfounded. Although they were all covered by masks, they were not surprised that Xia Feng had " walked right into the trap ", but that a red bear the size of a truck was chasing after him. Above the man and bear, there was a swarm of bees that looked like a black cloud.
The leader of the assassins felt that something was wrong, so he made a prompt decision and gave up on taking the opportunity to kill Xia Feng. He directly ordered to turn around and escape. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Seeing the few of them turn around and run, Xia Feng thought to himself that the heavens were helping him. He directly took out a bottle and threw it at the assassins. If the assassins hadn't turned around and fled, they would have been able to see Xia Feng's movements. With their skills, it would have been easy for them to dodge the bottle. Unfortunately, their backs were facing Xia Feng, so they didn't see this scene. Moreover, the sound of the bees flapping their wings as they flew covered the subtle sound of the bottle flying past. Thus, the bottle accurately hit the back of an assassin and broke. The sticky liquid inside almost splashed all over the assassin's body. The Assassin who felt his back being hit was shocked, but seeing that his HP was not reduced, he did not have the mood to see what was going on.
Seeing the bottle hit, Xia Feng jumped into the bushes beside him. Then, something that shocked the assassins happened. The Stinging Bees and Violent Bear that were chasing after Xia Feng seemed to have ignored him and directly chased after the assassins.
At this moment, another assassin recognized the liquid on the assassin's back.
"Honey! That's honey on your back!" He was shocked.
That's right, it was honey, and it was a rare ingredient with a rarity of A/grade. Occasionally, there would be beehives of stinging bees on some trees in this forest, and the beehives would produce this kind of honey. Of course, it would be very dangerous to harvest directly. However, there was a normal quest on this floor. One could obtain a kind of bewitching fragrance from an NPC. By using that bewitching fragrance to stun the queen bee, one could safely harvest honey.
Xia Feng did not have this kind of intoxicating fragrance on him. He had taken the risk to directly collect the honey and then attacked the most dangerous monster in the forest, the Violent Bear. This was his real goal. The Stinging Bees were only attracted by him. Violent Bears liked to feed on the honey of the Stinging Bees and would be attracted to them. This was why the Stinging Bees and Violent Bears 'aggro would be transferred to the Assassins.
From the sound, he knew that the Stinging Bees and Violent Bear had already run over. Xia Feng poked his head out from the bushes. Looking at the black swarm of bees and the unstoppable Violent Bear, as well as the fleeing Assassins, Xia Feng sneered. He knew that these people were finished. The reason why he could escape with the Bees and Violent Bear was because he had used the Speed Crystal. With the speed of these Assassins, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the monsters.
Soon, the assassins were surrounded by the swarm of bees. Countless stinging bees " wrapped " around them, turning them into six mosaics that kept screaming.
Although the sting attack did not deal much damage, it was almost pervasive. The frequency was extremely high, and the damage was accumulated into a tower. The Assassins looked at their rapidly decreasing HP in horror. What was worse was that Wild Bear had caught up and killed an Assassin with a single slap. Violent Bear, who had killed an Assassin, probably felt that it was a good slap, so he used both his hands to slap the other Assassins who were surrounded by the swarm of bees and could not escape. He also killed many Stinger Bees.
The bees that had lost their original target also attacked Violent Bear. Unfortunately, the bees 'stingers could not pierce through Violent Bear's skin. Violent Bear stood in the middle of the bees and endured the Stinger Bees' attacks as he licked the honey that fell to the ground.
After confirming that all the Assassins were dead, Xia Feng hurriedly ran away. Who knew if Wild Bear would turn around and kill him as well?
