Chapter 148: A divine archer never misses (1/2)

Alex immediately went back to report his findings.

”I think the ghost king might be in...the clouds,” Alex proclaimed with a straight face.

Hou Yi glared at him and replied, ”Of course he is.”

Hermes and Zhong Kui also stared at him incredulously and the latter asked, ”How did you come to that conclusion?”

”I found an area with a high concentration of yin qi, but it seemed to move westwards, and the only movement in that direction was in the cloud cover,” Alex realized that this was strange, but he tried his best to explain his reasoning.

”Hou Yi, let's go on the dragon to verify this, we aren't losing anything, are we?”

”Other than my time and patience, no, you're not losing anything,” Hou Yi ultimately gave them the benefit of the doubt once again.

The group of 4 climbed onto the dragon's back, and Alex was the one taking care of the riding this time.

Those specific clouds must have moved more west than earlier, yet that actually provided them with a good lead.

The dragon followed that direction and flew right underneath the thick clouds.

Soon enough, Alex perceived a similar cloud formation to the one from earlier.

”Dragon, fly above the clouds, please!”

The dragon followed his orders and pierced through the white mass of water vapor.

Now, they were over the clouds.

Putting aside the ghost king, they all appreciated the ethereal scenery.

The area below them was a dense congregation of white clouds, while the sky above them was the clearest they could ever see it.

However, in the midst of this idyllic location, lightning bolts suddenly zigzagged through the pearly clouds.

”Doesn't the air feel more humid than bef-

A blinding lightning bolt made its way for Hou Yi.

However, Alex redirected the bolt using Prometheus, and only felt a small brunt of the impact.

Hou Yi stared at him with a bittersweet expression and said, ”Thank you.”

”I think you have your proof, Hou Yi!” Zhong Kui pointed below them.

From the clouds, humanoid water creatures flew towards them.

Hou Yi harrumphed and took out an arrow from his quiver.

”We'll talk later, now, I'll show you the might of the greatest archer.”

”But, Artemis isn't here....” Hermes mockingly stated before he also got ready for battle.

Only Alex understood his reference and burst out into laughter.

Meanwhile, Hou Yi drew out his bowstring and swiftly placed an arrow on there.

Strangely, the arrow gradually turned into a red color and began emitting vapor.

”Observe the prowess of the archer who vanquished the fire demon!”

The searing arrow pierced through the water ghosts and vaporized them.

”Nice work,” Alex praised his strength.

”Wait, it's not over,” Hou Yi slanted his eyes.

The water vapor that escaped from the ghost slowly gathered again and formed into a gaseous form.

The gas ghost flew at a breakneck speed towards them, and specifically towards Hou Yi.

However, a spear was smoothly inserted into the gas body and when the red ruby of the spear touched the gas, the gas turned into black smoke that floated away.

”What a strong weapon....” Hou Yi's eyes glued themselves to Prometheus.

”Show me the might of an archer with my own weapon!” Alex smiled and passed him the weapon.

Hou Yi did not understand, but as soon as his hands touched the spear, it began morphing again.

The weapon of the god of humanity was an adaptive one, and in the grasp of an archer, it turned into a gorgeous curved longbow.
