Chapter 2338

As soon as Zi Chen called out, Yuan Hong, who'd been on guard, turned around and dashed in the direction behind them.

Although they did not see any enemies, nor did they hear the slightest movement, at this moment, they had absolute trust in Zi Chen, who had just joined them.

In the carriage, Steward Mack's calm gaze held a hint of curiosity towards Zi Chen.

The head that had poked out once more was also curiously sizing up Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was completely on guard at the moment, so he didn't notice the situation in the carriage.

When he saw Yuan Hong go to guard the area behind them, he immediately said, "Yuan Hong, come back. Humanoid puppets, go over!"

Zi Chen's words were calm, but there was an irrefutable tone to them. Beside him, Lindsey was taken aback, and found it rather funny.

The weakest existence in the group was actually giving orders at this moment?

How was a rank four hunter supposed to act?

Even Yuan Hong himself was stunned, and stopped in his tracks. Hidden within the humanoid puppets, Ya Ge also turned back to look at Dun Li.

It seemed that he was the one giving the orders in the group.

Yuan Hong, who'd stopped, turned back to look at Dun Li with a questioning gaze.

Dun Li hadn't participated in the battle. He turned back to look at Zi Chen, only to see Zi Chen's solemn expression and furrowed brow. Zi Chen didn't look at him.

"Switch!"

Dun Li grit his teeth and said decisively, evidently choosing to believe in Zi Chen.

Within the humanoid puppets, Ya Ge immediately turned around and retreated without hesitation. His footsteps were very heavy, and the ground thudded as he passed.

Although they'd reacted quickly, they'd still been distracted for a while. By the time Ya Ge reached the designated position, there were already shadows charging in their direction.

These shadows were all very tall, and each one was a colossus.

"Puppets!"

With Ya Ge's eyesight, he could naturally see that these were all puppets charging forward. The force of their charge definitely wasn't something that Yuan Hong could withstand.

In the entire team, only he and Menta could withstand such an impact.

Although Menta's defence was strong, his weapon of choice was an axe. It was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage against these defensive puppets, so he could only be the most suitable candidate.

While he was secretly surprised by Zi Chen's choice, Ya Ge didn't hesitate to charge forward. The two large hammers in his hands began to dance. They were like high-speed rotating boulders that collided with the puppets.

"Peng!" "Peng!"

The two sides collided, and a muffled sound of impact echoed. One puppet after another was sent flying by Ya Ge.

However, even more puppets rushed forward and pounced on Ya Ge. During this time, the number of Violent Bears was the largest. Their defense was very strong, their speed was slightly slower, and their strength was moderate.

The most important thing was that he could withstand Ya Ge's powerful attacks.

The others admired Zi Chen's choice when Ya Ge blocked these attacks. At the same time, they were also trying to guess what method Zi Chen had used to determine the opponent's strength in advance.

It looked like Ya Ge had blocked this wave of attacks, but Zi Chen didn't look happy at all. On the contrary, he became even more solemn. He didn't understand what was going on with this team, nor did he know about his employer's situation.

However, he could guess that this wasn't an ordinary ambush, but rather a premeditated one.

This was because he could sense that an enemy had appeared on his left. The enemy's aura was very strong, and he was a powerful enemy.

"Yuan Hong, to the left!" Zi Chen called out once more, his tone even colder and more unquestionable than before.

This time, Yuan Hong didn't look at Dun Li, directly charging to the left with his blade in hand.

Then, he saw a person charge out from the forest on his left. The person in the lead held a long blade in his hand as he charged at Yuan Hong with extreme speed.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

Two blades clashed, sparks flying everywhere as the two became entangled …

On the battlefield, Yuan Hong clearly had the upper hand, but he didn't have an overwhelming advantage. It was clear that his opponent was also a rank 9 hunter.

Immediately afterwards, another person charged out from behind and joined the fray.

Two against one, Yuan Hong was suppressed.

The newcomer was also a rank 9!

In an instant, two of the four rank 9 hunters on Menta's side were entangled by their opponents, while the remaining two didn't have time to rescue them. Another rank 9 hunter rushed out from Menta's direction. He was similarly skilled in defence, and was tall and clad in heavy armour. He began to exchange blows with Menta.

"There's an enemy in the last direction as well!"

There was no time for Dun Li to help. Zi Chen's voice rang out once more, and he could sense that a powerful enemy had appeared on his right.

With so many rank 9s coming at once, it wasn't hard to see that this was a premeditated ambush.

Dun Li didn't hesitate to stand on the right side of the carriage. Someone had charged out from there, and although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly in the dark, Dun Li recognised him with a single glance. He exclaimed in shock, "Edgar, it's you!"

"Haha, Dun Li, long time no see!" The black figure who'd charged out smiled coldly at Dun Li.

"Has your 'Dragon Mountain' eaten the guts of a leopard?

You actually have the guts to come here and target our 'Dragon Destroyer'? Do you want to see your 'Dragon Mountain' destroyed? "Dun Li said coldly.

When Steward Mack heard Dun Li's words, his calm expression changed slightly. He understood the organisation 'Dragon Mountain' very well. It was the only organisation in Dragon Mountain Town that could be mentioned in the same breath as the 'Dragon Destroyer'.

When he'd first made his choice, he'd considered 'Dragon Mountain', but in the end he'd chosen the more reputable 'Dragon Destroyer'.

He didn't expect to meet Dragon Mountain here today. They were supposed to be mercenaries, but today they'd become bandits.

"Dun Li, you don't have to be so absolute. As long as we kill you, only the heavens will know what happened today …" The Level 9 hunter named Edgar sneered and charged towards Dun Li.

Dun Li's expression was extremely serious. In this area, only Dragon Mountain would dare to attack the 'Dragon Destroyer'.

And if Dragon Mountain were to attack, they'd definitely be fully prepared.

Along the way, they hadn't encountered any danger. That was because Dragon Mountain had been secretly observing and understanding their team.

At this moment, Zi Chen had made the best arrangements so that everyone could unleash their full strength. However, they were already at a disadvantage against Dragon Mountain, who was fully prepared.

A few thousand meters away from the battlefield, there was a mound. At this moment, there were two figures in black standing on top of the mound. They were staring at the battlefield in the distance.

"We've been preparing for this attack for half a year. This time, he'll definitely die!" A hoarse voice was heard.

"This time, we're fully prepared. Mai Xun will definitely die!

But I don't understand. Why did we keep hiding instead of attacking with force? "The person next to him asked.

"No one knows how strong Mai Xun is, but there's always a rumor that he's very strong. He's suspected to be at Level 1!

This time, we're targeting him to find out how strong he is.

Although the guards around him aren't much, they're still a problem. Let's get rid of them first. "

At this moment on the battlefield, Dun Li and the other three were all surrounded by the other Level 9 hunters. It would be difficult for them to escape for the time being.

Only Zi Chen and Lindsey were left on the battlefield. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they weren't in a good situation.

Lindsey had already lost his biggest reliance. The only beast he had left was the saber-toothed tiger beside him. He'd always been the scout in the team and had never encountered a situation like this.

Although he appeared calm at the moment, one could still see that he was nervous at the moment.

Zi Chen was still silent, but he spread out his perception. He was getting more and more pessimistic about the situation in front of him.

Because in addition to these strong existences, there were other people in the forest in the distance. These people were rushing towards them. Perhaps they weren't Level 9, but there were many of them. They were more difficult to deal with.

At this moment, in Zi Chen's perception, a black shadow was moving quickly towards Yuan Hong.

It was the assassin. He was one with the night and moved silently.

Yuan Hong was fighting with two Level 9 hunters at the moment, so he didn't notice the assassin.

"Yuan Hong!"

The black shadow began to accelerate. Zi Chen didn't even have time to finish his words before the black shadow was already behind Yuan Hong.

Clang!

Yuan Hong turned around in an instant, and the large saber in his hand slashed forward. Following a clanging sound, the black figure appeared from the darkness and was forced to retreat from the impact.

In Zi Chen's perception, the black figure was still as agile as before. He could tell that the opponent was a Level 9 Hunter who specialized in assassination and not a Level 8 Hunter. Otherwise, with Yuan Hong's strength, this attack alone would have caused the opponent to cough up blood.

"Good job, Zi Chen!"

Yuan Hong's voice rang out. Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. If it wasn't for Zi Chen's shout, he would have really fallen into the trap this time.

A Level 9 hunter who specialized in assassination. Just thinking about it was terrifying.

"Yuan Hong, behind you!"

Right at this moment, Zi Chen shouted once more, and he spoke even faster.

"Go to hell!"

Yuan Hong tapped his foot and retreated between the two attacks. He jumped up and turned around in midair, holding his sword with both hands, and slashed at the black shadow who appeared again with a shocked expression.

Clang!

The long sword came down. The black shadow tried his best to block it and knelt on the ground.

He used the force to roll backward. While he was rolling, Yuan Hong's powerful attack made him cough up blood.

"Trying to run?"

A cold light flashed in Yuan Hong's eyes. He wanted to chase after the black shadow, but two blades slashed at him from the side, forcing him to turn around and block.

The black shadow who specialized in assassination flashed quickly and merged with the darkness.

Two failed assassination attempts. It was obvious that his movements could be accurately captured. Fortunately, the black shadow didn't attack and hid in the darkness.

However, Zi Chen could see his position clearly.

"This is a problem. Get rid of him!"

On the hill in the distance, the hoarse voice sounded again.

"He's only a Level 8 hunter. Killing him is a piece of cake."
