Chapter 18?
After Ace entered the forest, his body seemed to melt into the shadows, and every time he appeared, people mistakenly thought he was using space spells.
But this is just a visual deception caused by magic, using light and shadow to hide itself, used to distract enemies when moving at high speed.
Those who can use this technique must have undergone strict assassin training.
In the division of professionals, they can basically be divided into four categories: spellcasters, warriors, assassins, and scholars.
According to the different functions, there are many branch lines in each occupation category.
There are three branches of assassins, regular assassins who specialize in killing, hunters who face monsters, and thieves who do information collection and certain stealing tasks.
At this moment, Ace turned into an imperceptible figure, holding a dark but sharp dagger and moving quickly in the woods.
His eyes were full of excitement for the hunt, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. After a while, he caught up with several professionals who were not as fast as him.
Those people were all fled into the forest after being knocked down by the fireball. They were more or less injured, and they didn't move fast.
In addition, they kept looking back and found no pursuers, so they became more relaxed. The two people walking side by side even chatted while running away.
"Gang, just who are those people?"
"Don't you know that flag?! Are you from Greystone City!"
"If you are from Greystone City, you must know him!"
"That's the Midarda family..."
Pooh!
One person's words stopped abruptly, his throat was cut open by a sharp dagger, his eyes were filled with bewilderment and fear, his body staggered and ran a few more steps, and then he fell to the ground.
"Hello?!!" The other person didn't hear the words behind and felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and saw only Ace's sinister smile in the shadows.
Pooh!
Another person was dealt with.
call out!
Before Ace had time to enjoy the one-hit thrill of slicing his throat, he caught a slender thing flying rapidly out of the corner of his eye. When he turned sideways, his other hand quickly reached out and grabbed a Flying arrows.
The magic power attached to the arrow dissipated, and Ace also looked in the direction of the arrow.
Beside a tree more than 60 meters away, a man with dark green hair exchanged glances with Ace, then quickly put away his hunting bow and turned to run away.
"Hunter! Hehe... Now I'm the prey!"
After pinching the arrow in his hand, Ace turned into an unpredictable shadow again, chasing after the fleeing hunter.
The dark green-haired hunter had a bad expression on his face. He had a keen sense and had already spotted him when Ace made a move. The arrow he turned around let him know that the opponent's strength would never be lower than the silver intermediate!
He is just a professional hunter who has been stuck at the Bronze level for a long time, and he will definitely not be able to fight an assassin who is good at assassination. If he still has a short knife, he may be able to use his familiarity with the forest to get around...
But his knife was taken away by some bastard!
Whoosh!
When jumping between the tree trunks, the hunter also shoots an arrow towards the shadow behind from time to time, which is used to delay the opponent's speed.
A fast-moving assassin is very conspicuous in front of a professional hunter with keen perception. Hunters of the same level should restrain assassins, but this subtle restraint relationship is not worth mentioning in the face of a big gap in realm.
Higher levels represent more magic power, and more magic power equals higher battery life and richer skills!
Between Hunter and Ace, there are several people who are running away.
They noticed the movement between the hunter and Ace, and knew that there was an enemy chasing behind, so they fled faster.
As Ace walked, he reaped the lives of the fleeing people, and the smile on his face became more and more playful.
The hunter's bows and arrows are running out, but the distance between Ace and him behind him is still getting closer, and he no longer has hope in his heart to deal with Ace.
After a brief confrontation, the gap in combat power between the two sides became apparent. Ace was stronger than the hunter thought at first, at least senior silver. If he stopped and circled, within three encounters, he might be blocked by a dagger.
The hunter can only run while shooting arrows backwards, and run faster than the few people around him!
But why did the two people in front run so fast?
Xiang En and Andrea ran all the way. After having a life-and-death experience, they ran in the forest with ease this time.
The movement not far behind naturally caught the attention of the two of them. Looking back, they saw the dark green-haired professional hunter fighting an erratic assassin.
Xiang En and Andrea felt heavy pressure when Ace raised the knife and fell, and ended up with those people who were also running into the forest.
The opponent is at least a silver-ranked assassin!
The pursuit of a silver-ranked assassin brought them more pressure than the eighth-level forbidden technique in D'Aer City. Flood would treat everyone equally, but this assassin would specifically target them.
Blessing of the wind!
Xiang En cast the Blessing of the Wind twice again, then turned sideways to the right side of the forest, changing the direction of escape, and Andrea on the side followed silently.
Whether it was Ace behind him or the hunter, both of them saw their turn, but neither of them had time to pay attention to it.
Because the contest between them is still going on, Ace wants to turn the hunter into a prey, and the hunter is using his brains to survive.
But the gap in hard power is hard to make up after all.
After the hunter shoots the last arrows that can be used, there are only five reserved arrows left in the quiver. These five arrows are the poisoned arrows that he will not use unless he has to. If he cannot use these five arrows The arrow killed Ace, and he explained it here today.
At this moment, he was thinking that his family members far away in the town might have turned into corpses, the hunter's desire to survive was filled with hatred, and finally slowed down...
In a chase-and-run cat-and-mouse game, Ace has killed every "mouse" that's not as fast as him, and now there's only one left.
He stopped, looked at the hunter who also stopped in front with a playful look, and joked: "Run, why don't you run? I haven't played enough yet!"
The hunter fixed his eyes on Ace, and asked with determination: "Did the people in Fusen Town be killed by you?"
"Oh?" Ace, who looked calm, really thought about it, but he finally shook his head and said with a smile: "Who knows, all towns are going to be destroyed anyway, who would remember that they are destined to disappear? Things! You reminded me, time, I don't want to be nagged..."
After saying these words, Ace's body suddenly disappeared into the deep forest, and the rustling sound caused the hunter to call for the police.
The smell of blood!
The hunter's pupils shrank, and the smell of blood that was close at hand made his tense body suddenly flash, and he rolled forward.
Swish!
The dark dagger slashed across the back of his neck, cutting a wound that was neither deep nor shallow.
Ace, who had exited the stealth, showed a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to have some skills, it's a pity!"
As the voice fell, Ace's figure disappeared again. Unlike the last time when there were small voices everywhere, after this time, all the surrounding sounds disappeared, adding a terrifying silence to the forest.
After the hunter who rolled out stood up, even though the target had been lost in sight, the sense of smell acquired from years of hunting made him aware of the abnormality.
Quickly bent the bow and set the arrow, the poisoned arrow shot towards the upper left.
A handful of faint white mist splashed in the void, and the arrow passed through, piercing a branch of a tree.
Pooh!
Once again, Ace's figure flashed from the void, and the dagger slid across the hunter's chin, bringing out a small amount of blood.
"Tsk!"
After missing a blow, Ace once again showed the cautiousness of an assassin, his figure disappeared, and he drew back.
After narrowly dodging Ace's attack again, the hunter bent his bow and set his arrow again, and shot an arrow in the direction of the strong smell of blood.
The moment the arrow flew out, the hunter's hand quickly drew out the arrow again like an afterimage, kicked his foot on the ground, and his body jumped forward like a spring.
The man turned around in the air, the hunter gritted his teeth, aimed the arrow in his hand at the dagger that had just appeared from behind, and shot an arrow.
Ace didn't seem to expect the hunter's movements to respond so quickly. The dark dagger stained with blood was shot down by the arrow, and his figure also escaped from the invisible state, with a shocked expression on his face.
After the hunter landed, he quickly bent his bow and set an arrow, trying to shoot another arrow at Ace.
Pooh!
Just when he was about to implement it, the phantom in front turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared, and a dagger pierced his heart from behind.
The hand holding the dagger that appeared behind the hunter stirred back and forth, with a playful tone, "Old hunter! You are so clever!"
Feeling the colic in the heart, the bow and arrow in the hunter's hand fell weakly, his body trembled slightly, but a comfortable smile appeared on the face that Ace couldn't see, with blood in his throat, he spit out a few words softly: "I, will let You are buried with..."
Ace had received professional training, and even though the hunter's voice was faint, he still heard him.
Instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to pull back, but noticed a strange sound coming from the back of my head!
Turning his head, he saw an arrow approaching rapidly. It was the poisoned arrow shot by the hunter just now.
That's it?
Seeing this arrow, Ace felt disdainful in his heart, thinking it was some powerful means, this person wouldn't be able to pull him to death with this little trick, right?
It's ridiculous!
Just when Ace's attention was attracted by the arrow, a small gray snake shot out from the hunter's collar, biting Ace at a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye.
The arrow is just a cover, the real killing move is actually a high-grade bronze poisonous snake raised on the body of the hunter!
When the poisonous snake ejected, Ace was really shocked this time. Even he didn't expect that this hunter had a high-grade bronze poisonous snake, and he dared to hide it on his body.
After hastily dodging, the magic power on Ace's body exploded. He stepped on the ground and wanted to dodge to the side, but found that it was too late!
He had no choice but to flip his wrist and eject the dagger that had pulled out the hunter's heart with a lot of magic power. The dagger pierced the little snake's body without a moment's pause, killing the little snake that was only deadly with poison.
The recovered poisoned arrows arrived at this moment, piercing the hunter's back.
After this thrilling operation, Ace got up from the ground in a little embarrassment, but there was still a tingling feeling on his face.
Stretching out his hand to touch it, two tiny pinholes appeared on his face, bleeding continuously...
"damn it……"
Ace with an ugly face got up, kicked the hunter's body a few meters away, then took out a potion contained in a crystal bottle from his pocket and drank it, looked at the hunter's body angrily, and then turned towards En and Ender Leah chased after her in the direction she was fleeing from.
He had to make a quick decision. If his arms and legs were bitten by poisonous snakes, he could calmly kill the last man and woman.
But the place where the poisonous snake bites is the face, which is very close to the brain. The potion can only suppress the toxins close to the brain. If he does not want to damage the brain or facial features, Ace has to go back and ask the therapist to help him clean up the toxins!
This time he was careless!
