The night was filled with twinkling stars, and the moonlight was gentle, accompanied by a light breeze.
Yi Tianchen dared not make a sound as he hid in the bushes, enduring the discomfort. The corpse of the Death Knight lay just four meters away from him, emitting a foul stench that made him feel nauseous. However, this was nothing compared to the sudden appearance of two figures.
Soon, the two figures had completely emerged from the dense forest. Due to the dim lighting, Yi Tianchen could not clearly see their true faces at first. To his surprise, he recognized them; they were people he had encountered before!
Upon closer inspection, their features remained unclear. However, it was easy to identify their weapons: one was a knight and the other an archer. Therefore, they could not be The Terminator of Regrets and Not a Master, whom he had parted ways with just hours earlier.
If it wasn't them, then who could it be?
As Yi Tianchen pondered this, he heard the archer speak: “I clearly heard something here just now; why is it so quiet all around?”
“Look! There are signs of a struggle here. It seems he must have fought with some monsters!” This time it was the knight who spoke.
At these words, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but be startled and immediately clenched his fists. Although he still couldn't see their faces clearly, that voice was deeply etched in his memory. Coupled with the knight and archer professions, their identities became glaringly obvious—
Archer: Proud Dragon; Knight: One Hand Rides the Sky!
“Damn! Why are they together?” Yi Tianchen thought to himself, sweating nervously. “Are they both here for me?”
Proud Dragon said, “Do you think this could be a conspiracy? Falling Leaves might have deliberately left a mark on that tree to mislead those chasing him!”
One Hand Rides the Sky stroked his chin and nodded. “That possibility can't be ruled out. But even if there's just a sliver of hope, we must give it our all. In a few hours, Falling Leaves' server-wide bounty will be lifted. By then, even if we find him, it will be of no use.”
Yi Tianchen suddenly froze, recalling the impulsive act of leaving the words "Falling Leaves was here" on a tree trunk when he entered the Misty Forest. Speechless, he never expected that this would become a crucial clue in their pursuit.
What a failure!
Soon, the two began to investigate the grassy area where Yi Tianchen had previously battled the Death Knight. One Hand Rides the Sky scanned the surroundings, his gaze abruptly sweeping toward the bush where Yi Tianchen was hiding. His sharp eyes sparkled like those of a night vision device.
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but hold his breath; he must not let these two discover him!
He had faced both of them before. Their skill levels were impressive; while he could hold his own in a one-on-one fight, he didn't dare to claim victory if they teamed up. Therefore, it was unwise to take risks before the bounty was lifted.
"Look over there!"
Suddenly, One Hand Rides the Sky pointed at the bush where Yi Tianchen was hiding and exclaimed with unexpected excitement, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Proud Dragon fiddled with his crossbow, his eyes lighting up as he shouted, "Let's go check it out!"
At these words, Yi Tianchen's heart skipped a beat. He immediately tightened his grip on the Wild Fury, ready to launch an attack and escape at a moment's notice if discovered!
Before long, they reached the spot and stared in shock at the corpse of the Death Knight lying on the ground.
One Hand Rides the Sky sighed slightly and shook his head. "It seems we arrived too late!"
"Indeed! However, it has been less than five minutes since we heard the noise. If Falling Leaves was responsible for this kill, he should still be nearby. The problem is that it's dark now, and finding someone skilled at hiding in such dense woods is quite challenging!"
As Proud Dragon analyzed the situation, he scanned the area. Several times his gaze swept over the bush where Yi Tianchen was concealed, nearly prompting Yi Tianchen to leap out and fight for his life.
"Let's go and see if we can discover anything over there!" One Hand Rides the Sky pointed in the direction where Evil Alchemist Zazali was located, not responding to Proud Dragon's words.
"Alright!" Proud Dragon nodded in agreement.
However, at that moment, an unexpected scene unfolded that took all three of them, including Yi Tianchen, by surprise. A loud commotion erupted from the dense forest they had just exited, and it was intense. Judging by the sound, there were definitely a considerable number of people approaching.
"Damn it, it's Owl Dragon's people!" One Hand Rides the Sky tightened his grip on the spear he held.
"Shit, what terrible luck to run into Owl Dragon's people here!" Proud Dragon immediately crouched down, saying, "I have a grudge with Owl Dragon; we shouldn't stay here long!"
"Oh? You also have a grudge with Owl Dragon?" One Hand Rides the Sky crouched down as well and explained, "I killed a few of Owl Dragon's members before and stole some equipment. Last time, I had no choice but to hide in Venom Valley because they forced me into a corner, and that's how I ended up running into Falling Leaves."
Yi Tianchen was taken aback; this was unexpected!
Given this situation, should Yi Tianchen create some signal indicating "they are here" to take revenge on Owl Dragon through their hands?
But upon further thought, Yi Tianchen felt uneasy. His own grievances with Owl Dragon seemed no less than theirs, and he was also a target wanted by the System. If discovered, it was hard to say whether Owl Dragon's people would first deal with One Hand Rides the Sky and Proud Dragon or come after Yi Tianchen himself!
However, what happened next nearly made all three of them scream in shock...
As the advance team of Owl Dragon emerged from the forest, One Hand Rides the Sky pulled Proud Dragon aside and whispered, "Let's hide for now!"
With a rustle...
Under the night sky, as the bushes shook, the two of them crouched down and slipped inside, instantly locking eyes with Yi Tianchen!
"Ah..."
"Uh..."
"Clang..."
One Hand Rides the Sky decisively made a move, but due to the length of the gun, it ultimately failed. Proud Dragon quickly switched to a dagger and swung it towards Yi Tianchen.
Yi Tianchen's gaze sharpened; the Fury of the Wilderness was too long, and there was no time for a counterattack. Without hesitation, he swiftly extended one hand and firmly grasped Proud Dragon's wrist.
In an instant, the scene became quite strange and surreal!
The atmosphere froze for a moment. Feeling Yi Tianchen's unwavering gaze, One Hand Rides the Sky also held onto Proud Dragon's arm, shaking his head to signal him not to make a move.
At this moment, all three were acutely aware that if they were discovered, it would be the group outside who would benefit!
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly. "Hey, long time no see!"
