Chapter 95: Surround and Kill
Chapter 95: Surround and Kill
Xu Feng was walking in the tunnel of the mine cave when he suddenly heard some noise from behind. He frowned slightly—it sounded like footsteps.
“There are so many ores here, my task is complete…”
“Lots of ores, but the monsters are tough too. That Three-Star monster smashing rocks earlier had really high attack power. It hit Xiao Feng once and nearly put him in a Near-Death State…”
“Brother Peng, your Fireball Technique was amazing earlier; it made that monster run around wildly.”
“Xiao Peng, do you have any energy-restoring potions left?”
The voices of several humans sounded clearly from behind, seeming very close to Xu Feng.
“Hey, there’s a plaza here…”
Xu Feng turned around and saw a group of people appearing before him.
Suddenly, the people who had been talking stopped and looked at Xu Feng in surprise.
“There’s actually someone here…”
“Hey, he looks familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere…”
The group sized Xu Feng up from head to toe.
“Xu Feng?” a man in cloth hooded clothing suddenly spoke.
Xu Feng turned to look, scrutinized him, and grinned. “Wang Zhipeng!”
“He’s the one who caused trouble at the entrance of Nüwa Village,” a man in Leather Armor pointed at Xu Feng and shouted loudly.
Xu Feng looked over—it was a small world indeed. The people across from him were actually from the Doomsday Ark Alliance. The two in front were the very ones who had been guarding the gate at Nüwa Village. Xu Feng had used the rules against them, and Earth’s Will had directly struck them into a Near-Death State, reducing their attributes by 90% for a month.
“Why is Wang Zhipeng hanging out with people from the Doomsday Ark Alliance?” Xu Feng frowned slightly. In his previous life, Wang Zhipeng had stayed in Linhai City and never joined the Doomsday Ark Alliance.
“Kid, you tricked us last time. Didn’t expect to run into you here again, huh? Surprised? Ha ha!”
“Brother Jun, why waste words on him? Let’s get him.”
When Wang Jun and Zhou Dayong saw Xu Feng, their eyes turned fierce with hatred. It was supposed to be a simple gate-guarding task, but they almost died. Thinking back on it still made them shudder with fear.
If the higher-ups of the Doomsday Ark Alliance hadn’t taken pity on them and arranged for a few people to help them kill monsters, shortening their punishment time, these two would probably still be hiding in Nüwa Village, too scared to move.
Wang Jun and Zhou Dayong drew their weapons and charged at Xu Feng. Finally, they could get their revenge.
Roar~
The Giant Lizard Beast stood up and let out a roar at the two.
“M-monster…”
The two scrambled back in panic, hiding behind the crowd and not daring to show their faces.
“Xu Feng, it’s been a while, and his strength has grown again,” Wang Zhipeng thought to himself, his expression complex as he looked at the Giant Lizard Beast behind Xu Feng.
“So he’s the one who caused trouble at Nüwa Village and disrespected our Doomsday Ark Alliance?” a man holding dual blades asked coldly.
“Captain, it’s him, that guy,” Zhou Dayong answered, glancing back at Xu Feng with lingering fear.
“Let’s attack together and kill him. Da Peng, you deal with the monster beside him. Can you handle that?”
“No problem,” Wang Zhipeng gritted his teeth and said.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Three long arrows shot toward Xu Feng in a triangular formation.
This team had an archer, a healer, Wang Zhipeng as the Mage, Zhou Dayong and Wang Jun as Warriors, and Captain Su Yun, who wielded dual blades and followed the path of an Agility-based melee fighter, like an assassin.
Except for Su Yun, who was Three-Star, the others all had Two-Star Strength.
Xu Feng swung his long sword, deflecting the three arrows aimed at him, and ordered the Giant Lizard Beast to pounce on Su Yun.
Boom~
A Fireball the size of a fist hit the Giant Lizard Beast, scorching a patch of skin as large as a basin on its side.
The Giant Lizard Beast roared in pain and turned to charge at Wang Zhipeng.
“Come back. Your target is him,” Xu Feng frowned slightly and commanded the Giant Lizard Beast, controlling its actions.
The Giant Lizard Beast seemed somewhat displeased but still firmly followed Xu Feng’s order and charged at Su Yun.
“Dammit, Wang Zhipeng, what are you doing?”
Seeing the Giant Lizard Beast coming at him, Su Yun quickly waved his dual blades to block its attacks.
The moment the man and the beast clashed, Su Yun’s Health Points dropped by a third. The Giant Lizard Beast was a Three-Star Elite—how could Su Yun handle it alone?
Boom~
Another Fireball struck the Giant Lizard Beast. Though in pain, it did not dare disobey Xu Feng’s command and continued to attack Su Yun desperately.
“Da Peng, stop attacking the monster and target that guy instead. He’s the master; this monster is just his summoned creature. Take him out, and the summon will disappear,” Su Yun shouted. In just over ten seconds, he had already lost the strength to attack and could only defend passively—he wasn’t a defensive-type Warrior.
Drizzle Sword Technique.
Xu Feng wielded his long sword like a continuous drizzle, clashing with the weapons of Zhou Dayong and Wang Jun, sparking countless tiny sparks.
Whoosh, whoosh~
Every time Xu Feng pushed the two back and tried to deal a heavy blow, a cunningly angled long arrow would shoot at him, forcing him to retreat.
After a glance at Xu Feng, Wang Zhipeng gritted his teeth, locked onto Xu Feng, and cast the Fireball Technique.
He knew that once he launched this Fireball, any friendship between him and Xu Feng would be severed forever—from then on, they would be enemies.
“There are six of us, and the captain is Three-Star. Besides, the Doomsday Ark Alliance is a major force. If I perform well this time, I can definitely become an official member.”
Thinking this, Wang Zhipeng hesitated no more and hurled the Fireball he had just formed in his palm at Xu Feng.
Swift Wind Thrust!
Ignoring an incoming arrow, Xu Feng leaped forward, his long sword striking like a venomous snake, instantly thrusting toward Zhou Dayong.
Three consecutive strikes directly put Zhou Dayong into a Near-Death State. Sheathing his sword to block Wang Jun’s attack, Xu Feng pointed his left hand at the archer in the distance.
A white light flashed. The archer only saw a blur before his eyes, then suddenly felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground.
The white light drilled into the archer’s forehead, passed straight through, and emerged from the back of his head. It then spun around, aimed at the already collapsed archer, and plunged down.
Thud~ The archer, already in a Near-Death State from the first strike, was instantly killed.
Boom~
With a loud explosion, Zhou Dayong, who was kneeling on the ground struggling and already in a Near-Death State, had his chest violently torn apart. The force of the blast sent him flying backward.
After tumbling twice in the air, Zhou Dayong landed on the ground as a corpse.
Two kills in an instant.
Boom~
The Fireball hit Xu Feng’s back, directly reducing his Health Points by a third.
Turning his head to look at Wang Zhipeng, Xu Feng’s eyes were filled with cold indifference.
Seeing Xu Feng kill two people in an instant, Wang Zhipeng suddenly felt regret. Fear and unease surged within him. Even with the advantage in numbers, he couldn’t feel any sense of safety.
