Chapter 382 The Hunt of Outer Island Part 2 (2/2)

The rest of the group followed right after, and when they reappeared around fifty meters from the crater, they finally noticed them A row of heavily armored archers that stood on the borders of the volcano's crater, and right in the al clothes, and a crown on his head

The archers iroup, but contrary to the oceanic warriors, they did not seem to care for their presence Instead, their attention was directed at the woods that surrounded the volcano, from which they seeiventen thousand of these blue-skinned cultivators was not the only requirement? What if the number indicated howdifferent? So, or somebody

This idea was supported by the siht against the that their first priority had to be so completely different

These archers were placed in a protective circle around the edge of the crater, and from the power they eer than any of the humans or blue-skinned cultivators present on the island However, just like the humanoid race that had coht process, and were co them to attack anyone that appeared within a specific area around the force

What forced Nilo's group to take a sharp breathe in, was the fact that there were only a hundred archers, while according to the floating number, the test would sendthat these archers were tasked with protecting

The test had put the a weak party from a massive assault

While worried, none of them let himself fall into panic Fro, it would take them five hours to reach the middle of the crater, and that h time to share this discovery with the rest of the cultivators and organize a plan

Unfortunately, this theory was quickly proven wrong by one of the archers, who nocked an arrow, drew it to the anchor point next to the corner of his eye, and released the string The arroas extremely quiet, and traveled past what Nilo and the others could sense, landing directly into a patch of the woods that surrounded the base of the volcano

Before the arrow could land, however, the group turned to look up at the number in the sky, that had decreased by around fifty more, and noticed that immediately after the arrow disappeared, the nuain

”It hit” Said Finn before approaching the archer that had just shot the arrow, and looked at the patch of wood in which the arrow had disappeared What he saw next made a cold shi+ver run down his back

While the oceanic warriors had not reacted to the death of their companions when Nilo and the rest had killed them, that was not the case for the Royal archers When one of the blue-skinned warriors was killed by one of them, every oceanic warrior that ithin a radius of fifty ed, and dashed towards the volcano with aonly a few seconds of tiroup

To s worse, while the royal archers were extrele arrow, they were placed there not only to defend the king, but to taunt the oceanic warriors, and push the participants into a more difficult, and even desperate defensive attempt

Nilo and the others observed orry as a path was for that the more than ten thousand participants would notice that so After all, they were only seven

What they did not knoas that the three groups had now foruarding it fro oceanic warriors that, due to the size of the area that the participants were occupying, were killed at a rapid rate that roup, and the royal archers

Ivan and Sigg had been sent into the One Above All just to deter the suspicion of the leading figures of the Hiel Academy and Golden Karma company, after all, anyone would have found it odd if one of the ive up five tokens for a group that wasn't even one of their co the two sacrifices who, unaware of the conglomerate's real plans, had been sent into a coes of immortality, ay above their reach

However, that did not mean that Nilo and the others would leave them to die

”You two, stay behind us, and warn us if any other archer loves back on, and turning to look at the bottom of the volcano with a serious and focused expression Yet, just as the incoht, from the corner of his eye, Nilo noticed that one more Royal archer had reached for one of the arrows in his quiver
