Chapter 2337

A black leopard was moving through the forest like a ghost.

Its body was vigorous, and its nose was trembling as it looked around vigilantly.

After this black leopard passed through the forest quickly, a green snake was shuttling through the forest at a very fast speed.

After the green snake left, another big bird flew past silently in the sky …

In this forest, four types of pseudo-divine beasts had passed by in a short period of time.

If one looked carefully, they would find that they were a distance away from each other, and were constantly wandering around as if they were searching for something.

Outside this forest, there were two carriages moving forward, one in front and one behind. The four pseudo-divine beasts always kept a certain distance from the carriages.

Every once in a while, the big bird would soar into the sky and circle around the nearby area to check if there were any abnormalities.

It was because of the existence of these pseudo-divine beasts that Dun Li and the others were not as vigilant as mercenaries should be, and seemed very relaxed.

Of course, this was all thanks to Lin Sai.

With such a beastmaster, they could save a lot of trouble and be less vigilant.

They only needed to be alert and make a move at the critical moment.

Zi Chen got into the carriage, and chatted with Steward Mack. Of course, most of the time, it was Old Man Mack asking questions, and Zi Chen listening and answering.

During this time, Zi Chen secretly released his perception. He was still very curious about the items in the carriage.

However, he could not sense anything in the carriage, as if there was something magical blocking his perception.

"Zi Chen, how long have you been in this world?" Steward Mack asked casually on the carriage.

"Almost a year."

Zi Chen thought for a while and said. He did not have much concept of time, and did not calculate it carefully.

"Oh, you have achieved so much in such a short time. That's really amazing," Steward Mack praised sincerely.

Zi Chen could sense the kindness of the old man, so he did not hide these unimportant things from him. Steward Mack seemed to be praising sincerely, but in fact, there were huge waves in his heart.

In less than a year, how many people in this world were able to achieve such a feat?

No one knew the exact number, but Steward Mack believed that none of the geniuses he knew had such an achievement.

Previously, his evaluation of Zi Chen was already very high. At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Zi Chen in a new light.

When Dun Li and the others woke up from their drowsiness, they found that Zi Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, they didn't think that Zi Chen would run away just like that. When they looked at the carriage in front of them, a strange light flashed in their eyes.

This Steward Mack was definitely their regular customer. During this period, the five of them had visited many places along the way. Tuhr had joined them later.

However, Steward Mack had never let Tuhr, who was walking, into a carriage. He had never even spoken to Tuhr.

However, they hadn't expected that when it came to Zi Chen, not only would Steward Mack become more talkative, he even invited Zi Chen into the carriage.

However, the rude and unreasonable owner of the carriage didn't react at all.

They remembered that the owner of the carriage had caused Tuhr quite a bit of trouble back then. That rude and unreasonable personality of his had given them quite a headache.

Ya Ge and the others also perked up. They were also very surprised by this scene.

After their surprise, they felt proud. It was obvious that they had invited a pretty good teammate. Perhaps there were some flaws in his battle prowess, but there were no problems with his character.

After traveling for a day, the group stopped to rest at night.

Menta went to find some dry branches to start a fire, while Dun Li took out some raw meat from the cart and roasted it over the fire.

Yuan Hong waved the wine in his hand at Zi Chen. How was this a mission? This was clearly an excursion.

Zi Chen shook his head, refusing the other party's good intentions.

"Drink some. You'll be fine."

Yuan Hong smiled, indicating that Zi Chen didn't need to be nervous. This wasn't the first time they'd gone out, and they'd never run into any danger.

Even if there was danger, there would be people on guard in advance, so there wouldn't be any accidents.

Zi Chen shook his head again. He wasn't used to drinking while on a mission. It was irresponsible to his employer. Of course, the most important reason was that Zi Chen felt that there was some sort of danger here.

Of course, this was just his feeling. He didn't sense anything out of the ordinary within the range of his senses.

"Don't be so nervous. There shouldn't be any danger on this road. It's good to relax appropriately," Steward Mack said to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen smiled, but didn't say anything.

The others busied themselves.

"Something's wrong!"

Lindsay's voice suddenly rang out at that moment.

As for the four people who had a lazy look on their faces earlier, they instantly became alert.

Dun Li picked up the weapon next to him and turned to look at Lindsay. "What's the situation?"

"There's a group heading this way.

Their target should be us! "Lindsay quickly said.

"How many people?"

"It's unknown at the moment."

Yuan Hong put down the things in his hands and walked towards the handcart. Ya Ge and Menta had already taken quite a few things from the cart.

Menta was clad in heavy black armour, and he held a heavy axe in his hand.

Beside him, a mechanism clicked as a humanoid puppet appeared. It was like a door god, holding two heavy hammers in its hands.

Yuan Hong took out a long blade from the handcart. The blade flickered with a black light, and one could tell at a glance that it was made of Sacred Black Crystal. Its quality was extraordinary, and it was abnormally sharp.

Their movements were quick and nimble, and they weren't panicked at all.

"Twenty people!

Realm unknown! "Lindsay's voice rang out once more.

"You two little fellows, back off. Leave the rest to us." Dun Li walked forward with a large sword in hand.

The earth trembled as Menta and the humanoid puppet appeared in front of the carriage.

Lindsay took the initiative to back off, at the same time telling Zi Chen, "Back to the carriage. We won't be participating in this battle!"

Zi Chen nodded his head. Even though he still did not sense anything, the sense of danger in his heart had become increasingly intense.

Old Man Mai had returned to his seat at some point in time. He watched their actions silently, his expression calm.

A head popped out of the carriage. It was a beautiful young girl. She was standing behind Steward Mack, and not only was she not nervous at all, she seemed abnormally excited instead. "There's a good show to watch."

"Safety is of the utmost importance," Old Man Mai said softly.

The young girl stuck out her tongue and went back into the carriage.

Zi Chen and Lindsay returned to guard the carriage, while Dun Li and the others stood ten metres away, guarding the carriage in four directions.

A blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out in the quiet forest. When it rang out, Lindsay said indifferently, "There's a rank 9 hunter in the group!"

At this moment, in the forest, a green snake was cut in half. Beside the green snake, a person fell down, dead from the poison.

Black Panther hid in the distance and stared closely at the rapidly advancing group. At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded. An arrow pierced through the air and pierced through Black Panther's forehead.

Beside the carriage, Lindsay said in a low voice, "There's a powerful archer, at least rank 8!"

"Pfft!"

Another arrow soared into the sky, hitting a large bird. The bird flapped its wings and struggled for a while before falling to the ground.

"The archer's ability is close to rank 9!"

After losing another Beast Tamer, Lindsay came to a positive conclusion.

At this moment, all of Lindsay's backup was disappearing one by one, leaving only a palm-sized rat hiding in the weeds, its intelligent little eyes watching the group closely.

"Pfft!"

Just then, the rat's vision darkened, and it lost consciousness. It had been crushed by a large foot.

"There's an assassin in the dark!" This was Lindsay's last message. All of his surveillance methods had disappeared at this moment.

According to Lindsay's information, there was definitely a powerful enemy attacking this time. However, Dun Li's group wasn't nervous at all, and even seemed a bit excited.

"It's been a long time since someone made a move against the Dragon Slayer. How nostalgic." Dun Li licked his lips, his eyes flashing.

"I hope it's a worthy opponent this time, or we won't be able to display the prestige of the Dragon Slayer!" Menta sneered, clad in heavy armour.

The people in the dark appeared in Zi Chen's perception. There were twenty of them.

Nineteen of them were in one direction, and in another direction, there was one person who was like the night, closing in on them.

The other's figure was almost impossible to see, blending into the night. This should be the assassin that Lindsay had spoken of.

However, Zi Chen's perception was able to see all of his movements.

Out of the nineteen, one of them left halfway through the journey, leaving only eighteen.

That person had a robust figure, holding a dark longbow in his hands and carrying a row of arrows on his back. It was the archer.

The archer leapt about in the dark, searching for a suitable position to attack. He didn't continue forward.

These eighteen people quickly charged forward, appearing in everyone's line of sight.

"Haha, we really did find a big fish!"

The leader held a large blade, the blade still stained with the blood of the Green Snake. When he saw Dun Li's group on guard, he laughed heartily.

"You're courting death!"

Menta roared and charged forward without the slightest hesitation.

He was clad in heavy armour, his figure like a mountain. The earth trembled with every step he took, as if he was a moving mountain. He made a beeline for the eighteen people.

"Kill him!"

The leader with the large blade shouted, indicating for the others to charge forward.

"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!" … …

These people immediately charged forward, but were sent flying in a single exchange. The sound of bones shattering rang out continuously, most of them injured, while the rest died on the spot.

"Rank 9 hunters!"

The leader with the large blade was clearly shocked when he saw this.

It was at this moment that the humanoid puppet charged forward, the two heavy hammers in its hands dancing like a cutting machine as it rapidly reaped the lives of the injured hunters.

"Damn it, a rank 9 puppet!"

The leader cursed, his expression extremely ugly. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the seventeen people under him had died, while the rest were injured. They were almost completely wiped out.

"Someone's coming from behind!"
