Chapter 145

Just at this critical moment.

A green swift shadow suddenly flashed by!

Xiao Ning'er and Tang Qianqian felt a sudden gust of urgent wind sweep past them; the biting wind was like a sharp blade, scraping their cheeks until they stung, and they instinctively closed their eyes.

"This... this is..."

Meanwhile, Li Mengying's beautiful eyes widened.

She helplessly watched as that green arrow flew straight toward her, precisely striking the Shadow Tiger that was crouching to pounce; the immense power sent it flying instantly, its massive body tumbling and rolling.

"Roar..."

The Shadow Tiger rolling on the ground seemed to want to struggle, but the Wind Arrow that struck its forehead directly took away all its life; under the gaze of Li Mengying and the others, its health value instantly emptied!

"ROAR!!!"

Seeing this scene.

The other Shadow Tiger, which was attacking Tang Qianqian, immediately let out a roar of grief.

Hearing this roar,

Tang Qianqian immediately came to her senses, shouldered her large shield, and executed a fatal charge.

Xiao Ning'er also quickly regained her composure.

Although she did not know who had fired this arrow.

She knew.

Li Mengying was now out of danger, so the only one needing assistance was Tang Qianqian...

"Fire Dragon Spell!!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Ning'er released the powerful spell she had just finished chanting; a thick fire dragon roared out immediately, its target... pointing straight at the Shadow Tiger Tang Qianqian was facing!

"Boom!!"

At this moment, the Shadow Tiger seemed still immersed in the pain of its companion's death; when it noticed the rising temperature around it, the scorching fire dragon had already crashed hard into its body.

"-3121!!!"

The power of the Fire Dragon Spell was extremely strong.

A large damage number leaped out.

Seeing that the Shadow Tiger's health value was only a hair's breadth away from being completely emptied, Tang Qianqian immediately stomped her foot, let out a sharp cry, raised the knight's lance in her hand, and thrust it out with a fully charged lunge.

With a "Pfft!" sound.

"-1021 (Critical Hit)!!"

The lance stabbed hard into the Shadow Tiger's eye socket.

When the critical hit damage leaped out.

The Shadow Tiger immediately let out a wail, crashed heavily to the ground, staggered a few times, and then fell completely silent.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations to you...】

"It's dead..."

Upon seeing the prompt that appeared before their eyes.

Xiao Ning'er and Tang Qianqian both breathed a sigh of relief, while Li Mengying gradually came back to her senses.

But immediately.

They thought of something again and quickly looked toward the direction from which the arrow had been fired.

However.

By this time, Jiang Li had already used Shadow Stealth to retreat into the Shadow World.

Even if Li Mengying and the others came up above, they could not find him hidden within the shadows.

"A thousand li away, one arrow targets the enemy."

"Being an archer seems pretty good..."

Recalling the scene just now of killing the Shadow Tiger, Jiang Li couldn't help but nod.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

Killing monsters with a ranged weapon like the Bow of Natural Wind felt different from using a long blade.

Although it wasn't as simple and crude as melee combat.

But when hitting the target precisely, especially a headshot, it gave a sense of satisfaction and exhilaration.

Jiang Li satisfiedly sheathed the Bow of Natural Wind.

He glanced up at Li Mengying and the others who were trying to find him.

Smiled slightly, did not choose to reveal himself before them, and instead departed directly.

For him.

This was just a casual attack after seeing a classmate in danger.

Beyond that, it held no meaning.

"It seems he has already left."

And up above.

Li Mengying, Xiao Ning'er, and Tang Qianqian carefully searched the surroundings.

To their disappointment.

They had scoured the area down to the last inch, yet found not a single trace.

It seemed as if no one had ever been in this direction before.

The group felt somewhat disheartened.

They returned to the location of the Shadow Tigers.

While collecting the dropped items, they surprisingly discovered that one of the Shadow Tigers had dropped a Natural Crystal.

"You say..."

"Who could have intervened to help us just now?"

The three gathered together, and while resting briefly, Tang Qianqian couldn't help but ask.

"Judging by the arrow attack just now..."

"The one who intervened must be an Archer," Xiao Ning'er analyzed. "And as far as I know..."

"Among this year's students in the East Sea Base City, those who awakened a high-star Archer class number no more than the fingers on one hand, and those with a four-star Archer class number only one."

Hearing her analysis.

Li Mengying and Tang Qianqian nodded thoughtfully.

Then Li Mengying said, "A four-star Archer... then it must be him, right?"
