Chapter 18 Shadow Hunt: Defeat Them One by One

"Boss, I have a feeling that little brat is nearby!"

"The other surviving robber said through gritted teeth."

Jiang Yiqiang suppressed his anger and looked around at the dark woods. His previous contempt had vanished, replaced by a fear and malice as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.

"He can't go far!"

Jiang Yi's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth:

"We'll just wait here and wait for them to run into our trap! Don't you dare split up!"

The three of them immediately formed a circle back to back, warily watching for any movement around them.

Ye Feng had already returned to the tree hollow, coldly watching the three frightened birds below.

These three people are together, and there is currently no opportunity to make a move.

Especially Jiang Yi, the leader, whose soul power fluctuations were significantly stronger than the others. If he were to face any one of them alone, he would be nothing but cannon fodder and would surely die.

Then... let's just wait it out.

Time was on his side once again.

As night deepened, the chill in the forest grew stronger.

The three men, who had been waiting patiently for the rabbit to run into their trap, gradually became anxious and restless, instead of initially being furious.

I was cold and hungry, and my mind was on edge. Every minute and every second was torture.

Finally, one of them couldn't hold back any longer.

"Boss, we can't keep waiting like this. We didn't bring any food or water."

Jiang Yi was well aware of this principle. After pondering for a moment, he made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Fourth brother, you stay here and keep watch."

He pointed to another man:

"Second brother, come with me to find some food and water nearby, and be quick!"

"good!"

Ye Feng, inside the tree hollow, witnessed everything.

The opportunity has arrived!

After Jiang Yi and the second brother had gone far away and Ye Feng was sure they couldn't hear the commotion, he drew his bowstring again.

This time, his target was the lone robber codenamed "Old Fourth".

"call out!"

The arrow pierced the air!

Perhaps because he was on guard, the fourth brother subconsciously shifted his body to the side the moment the arrow was shot.

"Pfft!"

The arrow missed its vital point and instead embedded itself firmly in his left shoulder!

"Ugh!"

The fourth brother let out a painful groan, wincing in pain.

Clutching his shoulder, his bloodshot eyes blazing as he roared at the surrounding darkness:

"You little brat! If you've got the guts, get out here!"

Ye Feng did not fire a second arrow.

The sneak attack has failed, so hiding any longer is pointless.

Take a deep breath and crawl out of the tree hole.

"Hmph, so what if you succeeded in ambushing me?"

When the fourth brother saw Ye Feng appear, he was first stunned, then a ferocious laugh appeared on his face:

"I'm a level 29 Great Soul Master! Not like those two good-for-nothings, the third and fifth brothers!"

Despite the excruciating pain in his shoulder, his soul power surged, and a ferocious lone wolf phantom appeared behind him.

One white and one yellow spirit ring rose from beneath his feet!

"Then let's give it a try!"

Ye Feng was not afraid at all. With a thought, the light of his first spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.

"First Soul Skill, Radiant Body!"

A dazzling golden halo instantly covered his entire body, and a powerful sense of strength filled his limbs and bones.

"kill!"

The fourth brother roared, his right hand transforming into a sharp wolf claw, carrying a force that tore through the air, as he viciously grabbed at Ye Feng's face!

Ye Feng neither dodged nor evaded, and threw out a punch as well!

Fists and claws clashed!

"Bang!"

A tremendous force came, and the absolute crushing power of his soul force caused Ye Feng to uncontrollably slide backward more than half a meter!

What incredible strength!

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat. This guy was seriously injured, yet his strength was still so terrifying!

Absolutely do not engage in a direct confrontation!

With this thought in mind, Ye Feng did not linger in the fight. He gathered his soul power in his hands, instantly forming two golden light blades half a foot long.

"Focusing light into a blade!"

He hurled two beams of light at the big man's face, then turned and ran at top speed!

If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave!

The burly man was forced back a step by the light blade, then stretched out his wolf claws and shattered the light blade with two clangs. When he looked up again, Ye Feng had already darted more than ten meters away.

"You little brat, where do you think you're going!"

With a ferocious expression, he let out a furious roar, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Boss! Come quick! That brat has shown up!"

Ye Feng didn't care about anything else and plunged headlong into the deeper, darker outer edge of the forest.

Soon, Jiang Yi and the second brother arrived at the scene. When they saw the fourth brother clutching his shoulder and bleeding profusely, their anger reached its peak.

"Chase him! I, Jiang Yi, swear I will not rest until I have reduced him to ashes!"

The three of them stared at the dark direction where Ye Feng had disappeared, and hesitated for a moment.

The outer perimeter of the Starry Sky Forest at night is also fraught with danger!

"Boss, what are you afraid of!"

The second brother roared, his eyes red:

"If that brat dares to go in, why shouldn't we!"

"Alright! Let's chase!"

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and led the two into the boundless darkness.

Ye Feng plunged into the forest and hadn't gone more than twenty meters when he quickly spotted an exceptionally thick ancient tree. In no time, he climbed up it using both his hands and feet.

The ground is the most dangerous place at night.

He dared not stay down there for even a second longer.

After climbing onto a sturdy tree branch, he immediately took out a powder to repel insects and snakes from his pocket and carefully applied it to his body. Then, he suppressed all his aura, obediently lay on the branch, and stared down.

Soon, three hurried footsteps approached from afar.

Jiang Yi and his two companions chased after them to the foot of the tree.

"Damn it, we lost them again!"

The second brother cursed, panting heavily.

Jiang Yi's face was so dark it could drip water. He glanced at his fourth brother, who was sweating profusely from the pain beside him, and said in a deep voice:

"Fourth brother, you rest here. Your injuries are too severe. Second brother and I will split up and search!"

"good……"

The fourth brother gritted his teeth and plopped down under the tree.

The maple leaves on the tree laughed silently in the darkness.

You choose not to take the path to heaven, but barge into the gates of hell when there are none.

They waited quietly until Jiang Yi and the second brother's figures disappeared on the other side of the jungle.

Then, he raised the bow again.

"call out!"

Another arrow!

This time, the unsuspecting fourth brother was unable to dodge.

The arrow struck him hard in the chest!

"Ugh!"

He let out a panicked and angry scream, completely unaware of where the arrow had come from, and looked around in terror.

Just as he looked around, Ye Feng fired his second arrow!

"puff!"

The arrow struck him squarely in the right leg!

"ah--!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the silent woods.

Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine, sensing something was amiss.

The screams, coupled with the strong smell of blood, will soon bring real trouble!

Without lingering, they silently leaped from one tree to another, and in a few leaps, prepared to leave this place of trouble.

Sure enough, less than half a minute after they left, Jiang Yi and the second brother's anxious shouts came from afar.
