Chapter 445: A Mysterious Person

"What on earth is going on here?"

Xu Yinhe's brow furrowed tighter and tighter, and the doubt in his heart grew ever deeper.

The death of the Intermediate Fierce Beast was clearly caused by the mouth of an Advanced Fierce Beast.

But how did these Advanced Fierce Beasts die? This wound doesn't look like it was caused by a Fierce Beast at all.

"Uncle Xu, this wound looks like it was caused by an arrow, doesn't it?"

"Really? An arrow the size of a fist?"

"Even a javelin isn't that big, is it?"

The others also gathered around one after another, discussing it in a flurry of voices.

"I was only guessing."

Hearing everyone say this, the young woman's tone became less confident.

Indeed, where would such a thick arrow come from? Could it be the work of an Awakened?

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the distance, followed by a faint, mournful cry.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Several more sounds of Explosion rang out in succession, and at the same time, the movements of the Fierce Beasts became increasingly chaotic.

"Uncle Xu?"

The group was startled, looking at Xu Yinhe with suspicious and uneasy gazes, a trace of fear showing in their eyes.

"I will go take a look; you all had best stay here and wait for my return."

"Uncle Xu, let us go with you."

"Uncle Xu, we promise we won't hold you back."

The group requested one after another.

"Fine, but everyone must be careful." Xu Yinhe thought for a moment and finally agreed.

On one hand, this was a good opportunity to cultivate their ability to handle emergencies; on the other hand, there is strength in numbers, a saying that is even more evident among the Awakened.

Thus, the group cautiously headed in the direction the sound came from.

Along the way, corpses of Fierce Beasts could be seen everywhere, and the scene was quite tragic.

After more than ten sounds of Explosion rang out in succession, the atmosphere around them gradually quieted down again.

The hearts of Xu Yinhe and his party rose to their throats involuntarily; they knew well that while this commotion wasn't particularly large, it wasn't small either, and if they accidentally disturbed that Commander-level Fierce Beast, it would be disastrous.

Curiosity still drove them to continue forward.

Just then, a figure suddenly landed on the street and simultaneously caught their eyes.

It was a mysterious person wearing a ghost mask, with a strong and tall build; judging by the physique, it should be a man.

His left hand held a Long Bow taller than himself steadily, a Arrow Quiver was slung across his back, and his right hand pulled something resembling a large javelin from the ground before placing it into the Arrow Quiver on his back.

"It's a person!"

Someone in the team couldn't help but exclaim softly.

The next moment, the mysterious person seemed to notice something, slowly turning around to look in their direction.

"What a terrifying aura."

The moment Xu Yinhe was stared at by the mysterious person's gaze, he felt as if the blood in his entire body had frozen, and an invisible pressure rushed toward him.

The other young men and women were even more terrified, not daring to breathe, their bodies trembling slightly.

The mysterious person just looked at them silently, then withdrew his gaze, turned, and walked to the other side, pulling up a second large javelin to place into the Arrow Quiver on his back before walking off into the distance.

Not until the mysterious person's figure completely disappeared did the group react as if waking from a dream.

"U-Uncle Xu, w-what is going on here?"

Xu Yinhe took a deep breath and said slowly, "If I am not mistaken, that person should be the one who has been killing those Advanced Fierce Beasts along the way."

"It's him!"

"It was actually him?"

The group widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

"You all remember the wounds on those Advanced Fierce Beasts, right?" Xu Yinhe said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded one after another.

"At the time, Gao Yun said those wounds looked like arrow wounds. To be honest, even I didn't quite believe it then, because where would you find such a thick arrow? But just now, when I saw that person pull a long spear from the ground, I suddenly understood—that wasn't a long spear at all, but an arrow!"

"You all should have seen it just now; he was holding a bow in his left hand and carrying an Arrow Quiver on his back, so those Advanced Fierce Beasts were shot and killed by him using those arrows that look like large javelins."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Good heavens, there really are arrows as thick as a fist? Never mind Advanced Fierce Beasts, even if they were hit by such an arrow, they would lose a layer of skin if they didn't die.

Of course, they were also secretly confident in their hearts that they were all carrying an Amulet, so even if they were hit, they shouldn't suffer any damage.

"Uncle Xu, does that mean that guy is an archer?"

"Hmm."

"Then is he a Martial Artist? Or an Awakened?"

"I am not too sure about that." Xu Yinhe shook his head.

After all, in this world, many B-Class Awakened, besides being proficient in using abilities, also use cold weapons to fight; they are both Awakened and Martial Artists.

"Who cares if he is an Awakened or a Martial Artist? It has nothing to do with us anyway. Besides, seeing him only able to shoot Advanced Fierce Beasts here, his strength shouldn't be that great, so we don't need to worry about him," a young man said indifferently.

It was mainly because he had been rendered speechless by the mysterious person's glance earlier, and he felt a bit embarrassed, so he wanted to regain some face.

"That's right, we didn't come here to find trouble with those Advanced Fierce Beasts; our target is the Wild Bull in the city."

"Uncle Xu, let's continue moving forward."

"Mm."

Intuition told him that the archer was likely not that simple; their strength should not be limited to merely dealing with Advanced Fierce Beasts.

However, it is better to avoid extra trouble; since there is an astonishing number of Advanced Fierce Beasts here anyway, if that person likes shooting Advanced Fierce Beasts, let them shoot.

"How about this, we will look for those berserk Wild Bulls from another direction. Remember, once we encounter them, everyone must listen to my orders. Do not act rashly; if we attract that Commander-level Fierce Beast, it will be troublesome."

"Rest assured, Uncle Xu, how many times have you said this? Our ears are almost calloused from hearing it."

"Exactly, didn't we manage not to alert it the last two times?"

"Let's go, Uncle Xu, my broadsword can't wait any longer."

The group rubbed their hands and rolled up their sleeves, eager to give it a try.

"Mm."

Xu Yinhe turned to leave, but before departing, he could not help but glance once more in the direction the mysterious person had left, his brows knitted tightly together.

He pondered to himself, wondering just how many Advanced Fierce Beasts this person had actually killed.

Logically speaking, with such a huge commotion, even if it couldn't alert that Commander-level Fierce Beast, it should at least have attracted quite a few Elite-level Fierce Beasts, right?

Yet he observed his surroundings carefully and did not discover any traces of Elite-level Fierce Beasts, not even their corpses.

What kind of situation is this?

Furthermore, with these corpses of Intermediate-level Fierce Beasts all over the ground and such a heavy stench of blood, it is truly strange that it did not alert that Commander-level Fierce Beast.
