Chapter 30 - Shadow Counterattacks!

Chapter 30

Shadow Counterattacks!

System prompt came through.

“Dispatch!”

Su Xiaobai didn’t hesitate at all.

This was exactly the effect he was after!

With a substantial boost in strength, the level of the monsters he faced also increased.

This meant the materials from these monsters would be more precious and valuable… With money, he could continue upgrading his system functions and further enhance his power, thus completing a perfectly virtuous cycle!

“Dispatch complete!”

As soon as Su Xiaobai gave the order, the system quickly carried it out.

The two auto hunting shadows were still tirelessly slaughtering the monsters.

A casual punch, and the monster’s brain exploded.

A quick kick, and the monster’s internal organs were shattered.

A flame palm strike from a distance, and the monster was instantly pierced through!

The surrounding monsters, attracted by the strong scent of blood in the air, couldn’t help but show fear in their eyes upon witnessing this. They turned tail and fled!

These were fierce monsters, not fools.

In the face of a strong opponent, they instinctively feared!

The two shadows were about to pursue, but suddenly, it seemed they received some signal and stopped moving, standing still.

In the next moment, the two shadows disappeared on the spot.

The retreating monsters, noticing the change in presence, paused cautiously and turned back to look…

The two shadows had been teleported to an even more desolate area full of monsters!

Here, most of the monsters were C-rank and vicious, and occasionally, B-rank monsters could be seen wandering around…

“Hmm? Did someone appear over there?”

“A person in black clothes!”

“From the energy fluctuations… an intermediate warrior?”

“Heh heh… An intermediate warrior dares to enter the Dark Forest. Is he seeking death?”

“Rather than let him die by the monsters, why not let us take care of him… Let’s go!”

Unlike the previous teleportation location, this new monster-hunting area had other warrior teams present. They hadn’t encountered anyone before because the monsters there were a bit lower-level, and there were many places to hunt them.

In contrast, areas dominated by powerful monsters were far fewer.

In such circumstances, it wasn’t surprising to run into other warrior teams.

And in wild monster zones, with no rules or regulations like those in the bases, the darker sides of human nature were magnified infinitely… Killing and robbing? Just the basics!

If they encountered more extreme individuals, even cannibalism could happen!

This warrior team discovered the shadow that had been teleported. Since it was night, and everything was dark, they couldn’t see the situation clearly… But the energy fluctuations coming from the shadow unmistakably indicated that it was an intermediate warrior. Thus, they instinctively assumed the shadow was a human hunting the monsters and had evil intentions!

“Boss, should we interrogate him? He dares to come here. Maybe another team arrived, and we can get some valuable info!”

“Interrogate? What nonsense! We’ve been stuck in this cursed place for almost half a month, and we just finished our task. Why waste time? Just kill him and go enjoy ourselves!”

“All right, he’s out of luck. Let’s kill him directly!”

This team of eight warriors were all advanced warriors, and even in the 18th Base, they were a well-known hunting team.

Dealing with a mere intermediate warrior was no trouble at all for them.

If it weren’t for the concern that the intermediate warrior might sense something and send a distress signal, they wouldn’t even bother to be so flashy; one of them could easily kill him!

“Kill!”

The eight of them surrounded the shadow from eight different directions, leaving no chance for escape. Their powerful aura exploded, and in a flash, they launched a lightning-fast attack, enveloping the shadow!

Blades, swords, and cold gleams.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they were in front of the shadow!

The shadow suddenly raised its head. The dark figure with no face made all of them unconsciously widen their eyes.

“What is that thing?!”

…

At the same time.

“Ding! Host, the shadow is under human attack. Would you like to counterattack?”

The system prompted.

“Hmm? Under human attack?”

Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

He had been so focused on slaying monsters and collecting materials that he forgot the shadow might encounter a strong enemy attack in the wild… Now that the map changed, it immediately showed up.

“Since they attacked first, no need to ask. It must be those blind bandits in the wild!”

“These people aren’t even human. Just kill them all!”

Su Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Understood!”

With the system receiving Su Xiaobai’s command, on the other side, in the Dark Forest…

“How is this intermediate warrior so agile? He managed to dodge all eight of us… We are all advanced warriors!”

“Normal! Some warriors specialize in training agility and reflexes… Didn’t you see? He doesn’t even dare to fight back!”

“But his movements are too fast! And it seems like he’s not trying to escape, just avoiding attacks!”

“Could it be that he sent a distress signal?”

“Enough talking, let’s finish him off! The longer we wait, the more trouble we might face!”

“Wait! Take a closer look. What is this? It doesn’t look like a human. It looks more like… a shadow?”

As the eight attacked and became suspicious, they frantically tried to land hits on the shadow, but the shadow continued to dodge, and they couldn’t touch it…

Suddenly, the shadow seemed to receive a command, and it raised its head.

Boom!

In an instant, the aura of an intermediate warrior exploded.

“He’s finally going to counterattack!”

“Kill him!”

However, the shadow stepped forward and disappeared from their sight in a flash!

Swish!

Before they could react, a cold gleam cut through the night, and all eight of them froze in place!

In the next moment, all their necks tilted back at impossible angles, and blood spurted out from gaping wounds!

“Fast… too fast…”

This was their final thought before they died.
