Chapter 656: Machine Gun? Gatling!

"Focus Fire!"

After Lin Huan fired a Detection Arrow, he immediately turned and drew his bow.

Swish swish swish~

Arrows and magical skills rained down in waves.

Being in the same guild, they didn't have to worry about friendly fire.

Although the Cotton Guard had some skill, he wasn't Su Sheng, and his profession was merely that of an ordinary assassin.

Against such an attack, he couldn't match Su Sheng's level.

Leap Attack!

Swish~

The Cotton Guard directly activated the assassin's Hidden Skill, leaping out of the area covered by these skills.

Just...

Just as he leapt up, a yellow talisman flew straight into his face; following that trajectory, when he jumped to that spot he happened to smack into that talisman.

"***"

But being mid‑air, he couldn't push off to change direction; he could only watch helplessly as he crashed into it, and the Cotton Guard involuntarily muttered a blessing.

Then the Cotton Guard slammed into that yellow talisman.

Pop~

The yellow talisman exploded, an earth‑yellow shield instantly enveloped the Cotton Guard, and then he flopped against the earth‑yellow barrier and fell down.

His Leap Attack was intercepted halfway through.

Naturally, it was Su Ba!

Su Ba waved his horsetail whisk, looking at the Cotton Guard, feigning, "Still want to run?"

Lin Huan nocked an arrow.

Swish swish~

Elemental arrows directly covered the Cotton Guard trapped within the Prison Cage Talisman.

The output of an Elf Ranger can surpass that of an ordinary mage.

A regular assassin with low HP, even with decent gear, still gets his health drained to zero.

But at the moment the Cotton Guard was killed, the Detection Arrow on Lin Huan's head also expired.

Immediately after, a Cold Ray burst forth!

Here it comes again!

This time Lin Huan had prepared, but turning or dodging was already too late.

But Lin Huan didn't panic; he simply loosed the bowstring empty!

Pfft~

Stun Club!

Lin Huan was stunned again!

But Lin Huan's skill also came out!

Elemental Bowstring Tremor!

Swish swish swish~

A circle of colorful magical elements formed, centered on Lin Huan, spreading outward in all directions.

The figure that had just appeared behind Lin Huan, before it could follow up with another strike, was shoved a short distance away by an arc of elemental energy.

Knockback!

This is one of the few melee counters available to the Elf Ranger, similar in effect to a mage's Fire Resistance Ring; ordinary ranger professions do not have this skill.

The figure that was knocked back turned out to be the ever‑hidden Du Juan!

After being shoved back, the Du Juan resentfully gazed at the stunned Lin Huan; earlier, during the assault on the Yan Huang Base, Lin Huan had shot her dead, and now she had naturally come for revenge.

However, unlike the Cotton Guard, who is an assassin, the Du Juan is a Chasing Wind Thief!

Northwind Step!

Two seconds of invincibility!

Now the Du Juan happens to be level 45, and Northwind Step is a level‑45 skill; her level is right at the limit. During this period, Qiancheng Muxue's failures caused the Du Juan to drop several levels, but fortunately she managed to climb back to 45—if she had fallen another level, she couldn't use Northwind Step.

Swish~

Relying on those two seconds of invincibility frames, the Du Juan directly pierced through the Elemental Bowstring Tremor skill and charged at Lin Huan again!

At the same time, a Purification fell, dispelling Lin Huan's dizziness once more!

On the city walls of the Universe Base behind him stood an entire Yan Huang Priest Guild!

"Holy Words! Accelerate!"

"Holy Words! Immunity to Control!"

"Holy Words! Heal!"

"Holy Words!..."

Swish swish swish~ rays of light rained down, instantly granting Lin Huan a bunch of temporary buffs—each short‑lived, but many in number—turns out these are the buffs of the younger sister of the two siblings Su Sheng brought in… the Hidden Class Holy Words Priest's buffs.

Feeling the airflow behind him, Lin Huan knew he didn't have time to turn; although his technique wasn't great, he was still among the 800+ Hall of Fame players, the sole Hall of Fame player from the former Huakai Studio, and his instincts were still sound.

Instantly, while shooting an arrow at his feet, he stepped forward!

"Don't intervene, let me handle this!"

At the same time, Lin Huan sent a message directly in the guild channel.

Through the battle prompt, she knew the one who sneak-attacked her was that wild fox that betrayed her childhood fiancé!

I still wanted to keep letting out a breath!

What? Lin Huan having the Holy Word buff is unfair!

Lin Huan didn't say it had to be fair; he just wanted to shoot that wild fox dead!

With the Holy Word speed buff, Lin Huan stepped out and even was a bit faster than Du Xue, the Chasing Wind Thief.

At the same time, the blue ice elemental arrows on the ground exploded; Du Xue, who had just rushed in, took the skill effect head-on, but the invincibility from the Swift Wind Step was still active, so the ice elemental's slowdown didn't take effect.

But seeing Lin Huan, whose speed was a bit faster than hers, Du Xue was obviously a bit dazed.

No way?!

Although archers are also agility-based professions, the Chasing Wind Thief is the pinnacle of agility.

How can a scout like her be faster than me?

Although it's a hidden class, you can tell at a glance it's a hidden class geared toward damage output.

After stepping out a distance and slightly widening the gap, Lin Huan then drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and turned around.

Wind-breaking Arrow!

The green wind element condensed into an arrow, which was shot out!

Lin Huan's feet were surrounded by a green wind elemental aura, his speed increased a bit more! His retreat speed increased again! Lin Huan still had his awareness; although as an abnormal profession he had some advantage, he clearly knew that no matter how much advantage, an archer cannot engage in close combat with an assassin!

Widen the distance! That's the top priority!

Du Xue directly ignored that green wind elemental arrow; invincibility still had half a second left!

Charge!

But at that moment, Du Xue, ignoring the wind elemental arrow, suddenly exploded; green wind elemental energy surrounded the whole field.

Du Xue's eyes narrowed; he had originally planned to directly Leap Attack and catch up, but thinking of the fate of the Imperial Dynasty's Cotton Guard just now, Du Xue gritted his teeth and directly used Strong Hide.

The other Yanhuang Archers, seeing this, hesitated, wondering whether to help shoot Detection Arrows.

After all, Lin Huan's Detection Arrow had just been used and was still on cooldown.

But the Deputy President had just said not to let them act.

Du Xue went into stealth, but Lin Huan wasn't the slightest bit panicked.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower!

Elemental switch!

Wind Spirit!

A cyan little sprite appeared on Lin Huan's shoulder, and the pet he had previously obtained also appeared beside him; as his level increased, the gold-skinned rhinoceros's build had already surpassed Lin Huan.

Its defense is also quite good, almost equivalent to a defender knight wearing a full set of green gear of the same level.

After the wind spirit appeared, it directly turned into a stream of green wind elemental energy that wrapped around Lin Huan's hands and long bow!

Swish swish swish~

Then Lin Huan frantically pulled the bow and shot arrows, his speed even producing afterimages!

Pfft pfft~

A dense rain of arrows fell upon that area.

Chen Guan, who had just arrived, saw this scene, clicked his tongue and said: "Sheng bro, Huan sis, this is a machine gun!"

After becoming familiar, Chen Guan followed Su Sheng in calling Lin Huan "Huan sis"... that's fine, but Chen Guan actually wanted to call her "sister-in-law"; after becoming familiar, he naturally knew Su Sheng and Lin Huan weren't blood siblings, and moreover Chen Guan is somewhat of a playboy, so he could tell at a glance that something was off between Su Sheng and Lin Huan.

"Nonsense, it's clearly a Gatling!" Shen Yang muttered on the side.
