Chapter 118: Gale Archer

Page (1/3)

Dou Wenle raised his staff and released a dense black mist.

The black mist blocked the Gale Archers’ vision.

They immediately lost sight of their targets, nocking their arrows but having no idea where to shoot.

At that moment, two figures burst out of the black mist.

It was Qiao Chao and Wang Mo!

The two men charged into the ranks of the Gale Archers with their weapons in hand, hacking and slashing like ferocious tigers.

The audience immediately erupted in astonishment.

“Dou Wenle actually had a move like that? That guy was hiding his true abilities too.”

“Qiao Chao’s team prepared far too perfectly. They even anticipated this move.”

“Archers are so fragile once they’re caught in close combat. They should be doomed. They ought to clear this stage easily.”

Just as everyone was discussing the situation, two flashes of white light swept through the Gale Archers.

Behind Dou Wenle and the others, two more flashes of white light appeared.

When the light faded, two heavily wounded men gasping for breath appeared before everyone.

It was Qiao Chao and Wang Mo.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

“Qiao Chao and Wang Mo were killed?”

“That can’t be right. If warriors charge into a mass of archers, shouldn’t they be able to slaughter them effortlessly? How were they killed instead? Not a single Gale Archer died!”

“You’re mistaken. In theory, warriors who break through to the back line can indeed wreak havoc, but accidents can happen when the difference in strength is simply too great.”

“Exactly. Although Qiao Chao and Wang Mo are quite strong, they were facing Level 26 elite magical beasts. The gap was simply too large. It’s only natural that they couldn’t win.”

…

Qiao Chao clenched his teeth and stared unwillingly at the Gale Archers.

He had never expected that he and Wang Mo would be completely unable to threaten those Gale Archers.

Dong Yan and the others stared at Qiao Chao in shock.

For a moment, they had no idea what to do.

The Gale Archers had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows, preparing their second attack.

Dong Yan and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

The Earth Elemental Giant had already been riddled with holes by the barrage of attacks.

It absolutely could not withstand a second volley.

Once the Earth Elemental Giant disappeared, they would have to rely on their own bodies to block the arrows.

Although they would not truly die, the excruciating pain caused by their injuries would affect their nerves.

They might even be left with psychological scars that would hinder their future development.

Qiao Chao gritted his teeth and said, “We give up!”

The next second, everyone transformed into streaks of white light and was teleported out of the Magical Beast Tower.

Dozens of arrows stood embedded in the floor like nails.

Afterward, the Gale Archers gradually faded away as well.

When Qiao Chao regained his vision, he discovered that he was standing in the plaza.

The injuries on his body had already been completely healed.

However, the agony of death remained etched into his heart like knife marks.

The two men were still pale.

Zheng Gang looked at them and sighed softly.

He knew that this was already the limit of Qiao Chao and the others.

Even if they gritted their teeth and held on, they would only be repeatedly shot to death by the Gale Archers. There would be no point.

Still, they had gained quite a few benefits.

Their levels had increased.

Everyone had reached Level 19.

They could soon claim their advancement quests and undergo their class advancements.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward the large screen.

At that moment, only Xu Han remained on it.

The thirty-second countdown ended.

A group of Gale Archers appeared in the center of the arena.

They were identical to the ones Qiao Chao and the others had faced.

The moment they appeared, the Gale Archers drew their bows and nocked their arrows, preparing to attack.

Xu Han raised an eyebrow and activated the Eye of Truth to inspect their attributes.

[Name: Gale Archer (Elite)]

[Race: Windfolk]

[Level: 26]

[Skill 1: Lock-On Lv. 3 (Passive Skill. Once a Gale Archer locks onto a target, the target cannot evade the Gale Archer’s attacks.)]

[Skill 2: Wind-Rending Arrow Lv. 2 (Gathers the power of the wind element into an arrow, granting it greater speed and piercing power. Ignores 30% of the target’s defense. Cooldown: 1 minute.)]

[Skill 3: Arrow Rain Lv. 1 (Summons a rain of arrows to attack the target’s location. The falling arrows inflict multiple instances of damage and can carry attack effects. Cooldown: 5 minutes.)]

[Skill 4: Coordinated Volley Lv. 1 (Passive Skill. All Gale Archers fire at the target simultaneously. The greater their number, the higher the damage dealt.)]

Xu Han raised an eyebrow.

An elite archer?

That was somewhat interesting.

Soon, he felt streams of energy lock onto him.

This was the Gale Archers’ Lock-On skill.

The next moment, dozens of arrows shot toward Xu Han like drops of rain!

The spectators immediately cried out in alarm.

“What the heck? Xu Han isn’t even planning to dodge?”

“Dodge? Go ahead and try. Do you really think the Gale Archers are harmless? Their arrows are infused with the power of the wind element, and with their Lock-On skill, there’s simply no way to evade them.”

“This time, Xu Han is finished. He’ll have to stop here too. But he lasted longer than Qiao Chao and the others, so he should rank second.”

At the back of the crowd, Shen Meng watched Xu Han anxiously, unconsciously tightening her fists.

“This is bad. Junior Xu Han has no way to dodge the Gale Archers’ arrows.”

“These Gale Archers’ abilities are far too absurd.”

She had once entered the second floor of the Magical Beast Tower as well.

And she had been over Level 50 at the time.

She had already been close to reaching her third class advancement.

Even with her teammates’ cooperation, she had only barely managed to deal with the group of Gale Archers.

It was easy to imagine how powerful these Gale Archers were.

Beside her, Yan Hu sneered. “Making it this far is already surprising enough.”

“Unless he gives up immediately, he’ll definitely be turned into a pincushion by the Gale Archers.”

“People who overestimate themselves always have to die a few times before they understand just how strong they really are.”

Shen Meng frowned unhappily. “Why are you hoping so badly for Junior Xu Han to fail?”

Yan Hu put on an innocent expression. “I’m not. I’m merely analyzing the situation objectively.”

Shen Meng’s brows drew together slightly.

She stared at Xu Han and said firmly, “I believe Junior Xu Han won’t fail so easily!”

“He’ll definitely surprise us!”

Yan Hu let out a cold laugh and fixed his eyes on the screen.

A surprise?

More like a shock.

Zheng Gang gazed at the large screen and slowly shook his head.

It was over.

No matter how strong Xu Han was, facing so many arrows at once meant certain death.

He had no means of countering them.

It was about time to announce the result.

The next second, however, he froze when he saw the scene on the large screen.

Xu Han raised his palm, and a pitch-black vortex appeared in it.

It was none other than Damage Devour.

Countless arrows shot into the vortex and vanished without a trace.

Xu Han did not suffer a single injury.

In practically the blink of an eye, every incoming arrow had been completely devoured by the black vortex.

Xu Han grinned.

It felt good to shoot others with arrows, didn’t it?

Now it was their turn.

The black vortex did not disappear.

The arrows it had just devoured shot back out of the vortex at even greater speed.

Their target was none other than the Gale Archers!
