Chapter 48 (1/2)

“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?”
