“Swirling Blades!” With squeamish voices, the four female Hunters made their move almost simultaneously. The moon-shaped glaives spiraled in the air after being thrown towards Xiao Yu with a swoosh.
Perfect! Xiao Yu was not nervous at all as he suddenly raised the staff in his hand—Wind Barrier!
Immediately, a violent surge of air started spiraling around him with him as the center. The glaives were obviously blown away, and one of them nearly flew back and sliced the head of one of the female Hunters.
“Hahaha, this Wind Barrier is indeed good to use!” After seeing what happened, Xiao Yu was instantly more confident in winning this battle.
Xiao Yu struck while the iron was hot and immediately started channeling to release an ultimate skill.
Flame Missile Storm! Flames gathered around Xiao Yu and fireballs appeared one after the other, floating in the air. Meanwhile, his first target was that female Hunter named Kaya.
The Hunters’ reaction was really quick. A mocking smile appearing on Kaya•Shadow Hunter’s face, then she suddenly pulled the reins of her mount and actually ran away.
“Just what is going on?”
Xiao Yu turned around and realized that the other three female Hunters had also run far away, hiding in the distance, which was outside of the range of Flame Missile Storm. They looked at Xiao Yu from afar between the gaps of the trees.
“They actually know how to dodge skills. Do these NPCs have high intelligence? How do I even fight them, then?”
Xiao Yu knew the situation was bad, as it was obvious that the opponents knew that the Wind Barrier had a time limit, thus they seemed to be planning to wait for the Wind Barrier effect to disappear before attacking. Xiao Yu would not stay and just wait for his death. Without the protection from the Wind Barrier, he did not have the confidence to fight in close combat with those four female Hunters.
Once he thought about this he suddenly waved his staff and the Flame Missile Storm was shot towards that female Hunter that was in front of him and blocking him. Without caring if it had hit, he bravely charged towards that road created by the flame missiles.
As he ran, the whirlwind also advanced with him. Xiao Yu was like a human-shaped tornado. Fallen leaves were stirred up and flew everywhere; his aura was astounding. However, the female Hunters were not influenced at all—they seemed to be used to killing Mage-type enemies. They followed Xiao Yu from afar, waiting for the Wind Barrier to disappear. Then they would rush up and throw their glaives.
Seeing that the 30 seconds was about to be up, Xiao Yu thought that it was the end for him. Was it possible that he was going to die here today? Just at that moment, his line of sight instantly opened up and the dense forest disappeared. What replaced it was open woodland, He had actually run out of Night Whisper Forest.
In front of him was a land full of sand and trees were thinly scattered. From what he could see, the greenery was gradually replaced by yellow. Harvested stubble could be seen clearly—it was a desolate sight.
After opening the map to take a look, Xiao Yu realized that he was actually at the boundary of Night Whisper Forest and West Wild.
West Wild was originally Xiao Yu’s target destination as it was the area where level 15-25 monsters gathered. The land was even a few times bigger than Night Whisper Forest. The Monster Forces here were complicated, so it was the most suitable place to escape to when being hunted down. He originally had decided to join a Monster Force here, taking advantage of the Monster Force to escape. However, now it seemed like it was no use even though he had reached this place, as he would be killed before he even had the chance to join a Monster Force. Well, it looked like he would probably die here.
At that moment, the Wind Barrier ended and the four female Hunters had caught up to him. Kaya•Shadow Hunter looked at him with a cold smile. “What? Aren’t you going to run anymore? Then prepare to die.”
“Wait, you’re a player?”
“So what if I am?”
“I’ll give you money if you let me go. How about $1,000?”
Anger flashed in Kaya’s eyes. “I hate you bast*rds who use money to play games. The atmosphere of the game is corrupted by people like you. Do you think you’re so great just because you have some money? I am Kaya•Shadow Hunter, the leader of the guards of the Cenarius Council. I won’t betray my people just for that bit of filthy money. Today, I will eradicate you scum for nature.”
Xiao Yu commented in his heart, “That’s it, I’m definitely dead meat. She’s actually a Role Player.”
The term Role Player referred to those players that play a role in the game. These players could be said to be the most immersed in playing games. They would act and speak according to the background of their character, giving people the impression that they were just like the NPCs in the game. Who would have thought that Xiao Yu would meet one today and in such a situation. Now there was no room for discussion anymore.
Just as they seemed like they were about to begin fighting…
A black figure swooped down from Xiao Yu’s head and pounced onto the ground. The resulting surge of wind stirred up the sand, then Kaya•Shadow Hunter suddenly pulled the reins of the Moonsaber Leopard.
At the same time, a voice that sounded chuunibyou could be heard from the sky. “The rays of twilight shine forever. We decide your fate. Those who submit will prosper, those who resist shall perish! Night Elf trash, you won’t be able to succeed tonight.”
Xiao Yu was puzzled at what was said. Everyone raised their heads. After they saw what that shadow looked like, they were instantly astonished. That dark figure was just hovering in the air. It was actually a Twillight Dragon, and someone was riding on that dragon’s back. That voice was from a Dragon Knight.
Angmar (Twilight Dragon Slayer)—level 27 Rare Elite.
“It’s Twilight’s Hammer! Darn it, it can’t be that this Goblin is from Twilight’s Hammer! Then all the more reason we can’t let him escape!” A shred of decisiveness flashed in the eyes of Kaya•Shadow Hunter. “Sisters, we still have the advantage in numbers, attack now!”
Swoosh! An arrow appeared out of thin air and pierced the ground in front of the Moonsaber Leopard’s paw.
“I wouldn’t be this impulsive if I were you. You probably don’t have the advantage even if only numbers are taken into account.” The air in front of them suddenly distorted, then a dark shadow appeared in the distance. That person was wearing black Leather Armor and his face was half covered with a black face mask.
Dakar Rhodes (Shadow King)—level 25 Boss.
He looked like he was alone, but since he had appeared from stealth mode, who knows how many of his underlings were in stealth mode, so Kaya instantly did not dare to advance anymore.
“Dakar Rhodes! Are you the leader of the Shadow Brotherhood?” Kaya glared at the man in black. “Your resentment with Storm City has nothing to do with us, so it’s best you don’t obstruct my mission.”
“That’s right, our grudge with Storm City indeed has nothing to do with you, but this person is related to us! So…” Dakar Rhode shrugged. “Sorry, but I can’t be a bystander.”
Kaya•Shadow Hunter looked at Angmar in the sky, then at the man in black in front of her. She knew that she was not their opponent, so she snorted. “I hope you know what you are doing. Night Elves never let their enemies go. Sisters… let’s go!” After finishing, she abruptly pulled the reins and the four female Hunters instantly disappeared within the dense forest.
“Phew, finally safe.” Seeing that he had finally gotten rid of them, Xiao Yu heaved a long sigh of relief. But then he was in doubt. Just what was this situation now?
