Chapter 2523

As soon as Zi Chen called out, Yuan Hong, who had been on guard, turned around and dashed in that direction.

[Quick update. The website is refreshing and has few advertisements. I love this kind of website. Make sure to give it a good review.]

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

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

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

At the moment, Zi Chen was completely on guard and didn't notice the situation in the carriage.

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

Zi Chen's tone was calm, but there was an undeniable meaning in his words. This stunned Lindsey, who was beside him, and he found it a little funny.

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

How was a rank 9 hunter supposed to go?

Even Yuan Hong himself was stunned and stopped moving. Ya Ge, who was hiding in the humanoid puppet, also turned around to look at Dun Li.

It seemed like he was the one giving orders in the team.

Yuan Hong, who had stopped moving, turned around and looked at Dun Li with a questioning gaze.

Dun Li didn't participate in the battle. He turned around to look at Zi Chen and saw Zi Chen's serious expression and furrowed brows. Zi Chen didn't look at him.

"Switch!"

Dun Li clenched his teeth and said decisively, clearly choosing to believe in Zi Chen.

Ya Ge, who was in the humanoid puppet, immediately turned around and walked back without hesitation. His footsteps were very heavy, making thumping sounds wherever he passed.

Although they reacted quickly, they were still a little distracted and wasted some time. By the time Ya Ge reached the designated position, there were already black figures charging in their direction.

Every single one of these shadows was very tall, and every single one of them was a colossus.

"Puppets!"

With Ya Ge's eyesight, he naturally saw that these were all puppets. The force of their impact was definitely not something that Yuan Hong could block.

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.

Ya Ge blocked these attacks. The others admired Zi Chen's choice very much, but at the same time, they were also guessing what method Zi Chen had used to know 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, his expression grew even more solemn. He didn't understand what was going on with this team, nor did he understand 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, 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 wielded a long blade as he charged at Yuan Hong at an extremely fast speed.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

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

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

Immediately after, 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 their side had been entangled by their opponents. The remaining two didn't even have time to rescue them. Another rank 9 hunter charged out from Menta's direction. He was similarly proficient in defence, with a tall figure and heavy armour on his body. He began to clash with Menta.

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

There was no time for Dun Li to rescue him. 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 9 hunters 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 make out the person's appearance in the dark, Dun Li recognised him at first glance. He exclaimed in shock, "Edgar, it's you!"

"Haha, Dun Li, long time no see!" The black figure that had charged out smiled coldly at Dun Li.

"Has your Dragonmountain eaten the guts of a leopard?

You actually have the guts to come here and attack us, the Dragon of Destruction. Do you want your Dragonmountain to be destroyed? "Dun Li said coldly.

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

When he'd first made his choice, he'd considered Dragonmountain as well, but in the end he'd chosen the more reputable Dragon of Destruction.

He didn't expect to meet Dragonmountain 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 I 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 Dragonmountain would dare to attack the Dragon of Destruction.

And Dragonmountain would definitely be fully prepared if they were to attack.

They hadn't encountered any danger along the way because Dragonmountain had been secretly observing them and understanding their team.

Although Zi Chen had made the best arrangements at this moment to allow everyone to maximize their strength, they were already at a disadvantage when they met Dragonmountain, who was fully prepared.

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

"This is an ambush we've been preparing for half a year. This time, he'll definitely die!" A hoarse voice sounded.

"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 full force? "The person next to him asked.

"No one knows how strong Mai Xun is, but there have always been rumors that he's very strong, suspected to be 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, Dun Li and the other three were surrounded by the other Level 9 Hunters. It would be difficult for them to escape at this moment.

Only Zi Chen and Lindsey were left. 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 could control now was the saber-toothed tiger beside him. He had always been the scout in the team and had never encountered a situation like this.

Although he appeared calm, it was obvious that he was nervous at this moment.

Zi Chen remained silent. He spread out his perception in all directions. He was getting more and more pessimistic about the situation.

Because other than these strong existences, there were other people in the distant forest. These people were rushing towards them. Perhaps they weren't Level 9, but there were many of them. They would be 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 currently fighting with two Level 9 Hunters and didn't notice the assassin's appearance.

"Yuan Hong!"

The black shadow began to speed up. Zi Chen shouted. Before he could say anything else, the black shadow was already behind Yuan Hong.

"Clang!"

Yuan Hong turned around in an instant and slashed forward with his sword. With a clang, the black shadow appeared from the darkness and was forced to retreat.

In Zi Chen's perception, the black figure was still as agile as before. He could tell that the opponent was a fourth level Hunter who specialized in assassination and not a third level. Otherwise, with Yuan Hong's strength, this attack alone would have shaken the opponent to the point of coughing 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 the thought of 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 in the middle of the two attacks. He jumped up and turned around in midair. Holding his sword with both hands, he slashed down at the black shadow who appeared again with a shocked expression.

"Clang!"

The long sword slashed down. The black shadow tried his best to block it and knelt on one knee.

He used the force to roll backward. As he rolled, he coughed up blood from Yuan Hong's powerful attack.

"Trying to run?"

Yuan Hong's eyes flashed coldly. He wanted to chase after the black shadow, but two blades slashed at him from the side. He had no choice but to turn around and block.

The black shadow who specialized in assassination flashed quickly and blended into the darkness.

His two assassination attempts had ended in failure. It was obvious that his movements could be accurately captured. Fortunately, his opponent 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."

The person beside him took out a transmission stone. After the order to kill was given, the Hunters who were standing outside the battlefield walked out of the forest.
