Chen Fei and the other three moved forward, but the person behind them didn’t join in. Instead, they continued towards the entrance of the Stone Forest
Canyon.
However, that person quickly sensed the aura of six monsters ahead, paused, slowly retreated, and then disappeared from Chen Fei’s sight.
“How is it?” Zhao Ruizheng looked at Chen Fei and asked.
“They’ve left,” Chen Fei replied.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. From the current situation, it seemed that the other party was indeed just scouting, intending to return to the depths of the Stone Forest Canyon rather than deliberately following them.
Of course, it could also be that the other party1 s perception was on par with
Chen Fei’s. When Chen Fei noticed them, they noticed Chen Fei as well, so they decided to play along with this act.
Zhao Ruizheng pondered. The losses suffered by Xiao Qiping’s team yesterday were severe, but overall, their strength still surpa.s.sed theirs.
Engaging in a fight with the other party for a mere speculation seemed particularly unwise.
At least for now, it appeared that only one person from Xiao Piping’s team had come to investigate the situation on the way to the Stone Forest Canyon.
“Keep a distance and let’s take out those six monsters first.”
After some consideration, Zhao Ruizheng decided to proceed at their own pace. As for Xiao piping’s team, considering the similar perception distance between them and Chen Fei, there was no need to worry about any ambushes from them.
Chen Fei nodded in agreement, not objecting.
The person from Xiao piping’s team currently had a vision range almost identical to his own, but once night fell, Chen Fei’s vision would surpa.s.s theirs.
And as time pa.s.sed, this gap would only widen.
The only thing Chen Fei was curious about now was the secret technique used by that person just now, which could see so far within the Black Divine’s Barrier.
Indeed, the Middle Continent boasted numerous extraordinary techniques.
Chen Fei and the other three moved laterally for several miles, approaching the six monsters from another direction.
It was certain that they couldn’t bypa.s.s them; otherwise, if they encountered any situations in the Stone Forest Canyon and needed to retreat, they could easily be trapped.
It was better to eliminate these six monsters now and gradually push forward.
A beam of light radiated from Chen Fei’s brow as he gazed ahead, readying his bow and arrow.
Zhao Ruizheng stood at the forefront, ready to act when the monsters appeared; he would be the first line of defense.
Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang stood in the middle, while Chen Fei took the rear.
Tang Shouchang wielded the Cloud Breaker Blade and glanced back at Chen Fei, admiring his versatility.
Tang Shouchang still remembered vividly how Chen Fei sealed a monster by pressing both hands together.
That scene was unforgettable!
Yet now, Chen Fei stood at the back.
“Bang!”
With a dull thud, the arrow in Chen Fei’s hand pierced through the air. Just as one of the monsters raised its head, the arrow found its mark, lodging itself in the creature’s forehead.
In an instant, the trajectory of the arrow connected Chen Fei and the monster.
“Boom!”
The monster’s head shattered, creating a loud commotion that immediately drew the attention of the other five monsters nearby.
Leaving afterimages in their wake, the five monsters dashed towards Chen Fei and his companions.
Zhao Ruizheng and the others hadn’t even seen the monsters yet, but a sense of dread inexplicably surged from the depths of their souls.
Their instincts warned them of danger—run!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Chen Fei’s right hand turned into a blur as arrows arced through the air, bypa.s.sing the five monsters and finishing off the initial one completely.
The five monsters instinctively wanted to intercept the arrows, but the distance was too great, hindering their movements, so they eventually gave up altogether.
This was the difference between monsters and sentient beings. If it were humans or beasts, they would surely protect their injured comrades to maintain sufficient strength on their side.
But monsters, upon realizing the distance was too far, simply gave up without any intention of protecting their companions. Their hearts harbored nothing but the desire for slaughter.
“Bang!”
One arrow was deflected by a monster’s swipe, shattering it, and leaving a gash on the back of its claw.
With this caution, the monsters’ reaction speed became incredibly fast. Lacking sentience, they seemed somewhat dull-witted, but in battle, this also made them extremely keen.
Chen Fei remained unfazed as several arrows swarmed towards the monster.
After blocking two arrows with its arms, the monster was finally struck in the chest by the fourth arrow.
Chen Fei’s bow and arrows, though called arrows, felt more like a direct blow from a club.
The monster’s chest instantly bore a gaping hole, causing its movements to uncontrollably pause for a moment.
Surrounded by swirling black mist, the monster attempted to mend its wounds continuously. However, with the onslaught of several more arrows, it was instantly reduced to pieces.
With this, Chen Fei had used his bow and arrows to snipe two early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters. The remaining two mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters and two early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters had now arrived before Zhao Ruizheng.
As a brutal aura confronted him, Zhao Ruizheng’s eyes slightly widened. In the next moment, a round moon rose behind him, and boundless waves surged below.
The Moon Rises Over the Sea!
This technique was similar to the one Zhao Tianyue practiced, but compared to Zhao Tianyue, Zhao Ruizheng’s mastery of this technique was undoubtedly far superior.
A chill seemed to emanate as the speed of the four approaching monsters involuntarily slowed down.
Zhao Ruizheng wielded the Broken Moon Sword, its blade swirling, directly encircling the two mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters within.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang each dealt with one of the remaining two early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters, preventing them from impacting Zhao Ruizheng and Chen Fei.
