Chapter 234: Mysterious Visitor (Major Revision Rewrite)

That person wore silver armor, held a long spear with a cold, glinting light, and from under the helmet revealed a pair of sharp eyes, coldly staring at Lin Yifan and Su Xiao xi.

Lin Yifan's heart tightened, he instinctively stepped in front of Su Xiao xi, his hand already on the hilt of his waist knife. He whispered: 'Be careful, the one who comes means harm.'

Although I don't know who this person is, nor why they appeared here, or what their purpose is.

But the malice emanating from this person, however, is not even a trace demonstrated.

So it's clear: this person is coming for him, Lin Yifan.

Su Xiao xi behind him gripped the Dark Night Dagger tightly; although a little nervous, her eyes were unusually firm: 'Yifan brother, you don't need to worry about me, I can protect myself.'

The tiger approached slowly, each step as if stepping on their heartbeats.

The person riding on the tiger's back spoke down from above, voice icy and hoarse: 'Are you the District's survivors?'

Lin Yifan narrowed his eyes and countered: 'Who are you? You came looking for me—what exactly is your purpose?'

'I am the District's Tiger Rider, Zhao Tianba.' He snorted coldly, 'As for why I'm looking for you, isn't it ridiculous that you'd ask that?'

'After the district merger, resources are limited; the weak don't deserve to survive, they only deserve to become nutrients for my growth.'

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Tianba squeezed the tiger's belly; the fierce tiger roared and lunged at the two!

'Fall back!' Lin Yifan shoved Su Xiao xi aside, then quickly drew his blade to meet him. The blade and spear collided in the air, scattering sparks.

Su Xiao xi was shoved and staggered a few steps; after steadying herself, she immediately observed the battle.

She noticed Zhao Tianba's assault was fierce, but the tiger's movements were somewhat sluggish, as if injured.

She had an idea, circled to the side, raised the Dark Night Dagger, and aimed at the tiger's hind leg.

'Yifan brother, hold him back!' Su Xiao xi shouted, then lunged forward and stabbed the dagger hard into the tiger's hind leg.

The tiger winced in pain, let out a earth-shaking roar, and its body shook violently.

Su Xiao xi was directly shaken off by the tiger and fell flat on her back!

Her physique was already weak, and her talent came at the cost of sacrificing all physique; one could say she is now purely a weakling.

Lin Yifan truly hadn't expected this little girl to be so bold; knowing full well that the man named Zhao Tianba was extremely dangerous, she still dared to charge forward.

Fortunately, although Zhao Tianba's tiger looked extremely ferocious, it wasn't as strong as imagined.

Indeed, the tiger was actually ambushed by this little girl Su Xiao xi; at this moment the tiger was injured and instantly began to rage and struggle.

Zhao Tianba momentarily lost balance, almost falling from the tiger's back, but because the injured, enraged tiger now fixed its gaze directly on Su Xiao xi.

Without regard for the overturned Zhao Tianba on the ground, it lunged straight at Su Xiao xi.

Lin Yifan felt both moved and angry, but at this critical moment he had no leisure to consider anything else, nor the mind to hide his strength.

He directly activated the Eternal Freeze Domain; an Ultrafast Ice Flash swiftly came to Su Xiao xi's front, pulling her up and hiding her behind him.

At the same time he flung out the Bloodsucking Vine that had been coiled around his wrist; the low blood vine, upon hitting the ground, instantly grew into a slender vine.

But don't be fooled by the Bloodsucking Vine being only thumb-thick; it directly entangled the whole tiger, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free in the slightest.

Moreover, the thorns on the Bloodsucking Vine had already deeply pierced the tiger's skin, beginning to rapidly suck its blood.

However, the tiger's Life Tier should be high; facing the Bloodsucking Vine's entanglement and paralyzing effect, it did not completely lose combat ability, but instead tangled with the vine, frantically gnawing at it.

However, the Bloodsucking Vine can be called a special species, naturally not easy to deal with; even if one strand is torn apart, it will quickly grow another to replace it.

Thus, for a moment, the tiger and the vine were actually indistinguishable in victory or defeat!

And this scene left Zhao Tianba staring wide-eyed, his face full of not daring to believe the passage:

'How is this possible? Xiao Bai is a Transcendent Life-tier beast; how could it not handle a single tree stem?'

Lin Yifan didn't have time to explain to him; instead he seized the opportunity and slashed a blade at Zhao Tianba's chest!

Zhao Tianba suddenly turned back, hastily blocked, but was still shaken back several steps.

He steadied his stance, face grim: 'Not bad… it seems the news was correct, you are indeed the District's strongest, Lin Yifan, you really do have some skill, but the game has only just begun—don't get too excited too soon!'

Lin Yifan was somewhat speechless, and annoyed, he rolled his eyes and said:

'Which of your eyes saw me being happy? However, I'm more curious: how did you find your way here?'

Actually, wanting to find his location is not without a method!

Since the regional map will appear, each person's Shelter is also marked with coordinates, which is enough to show that others can find him through these coordinates.

However, Li Yifan still had a doubt in his heart.

The district merger has only just been completed, and it's only been a few minutes!

Even the 'Resource Challenge Tournament' is set for three months later; just what ability does this person have to be able to show up at this exact moment?

However, Lin Yifan didn't really expect to get an answer so easily; after casually asking the question, he then used that machete to frenziedly attack Zhao Tianba.

Lin Yifan had no fixed moves; all his current attacks relied solely on instinct.

But precisely this lack of fixed patterns ended up exhausting Zhao Tianba in trying to cope.

However, just as his face turned livid with anger, a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke in an extremely venomous tone:

'Lin Yifan, I already told you before, the game has only just begun; now, your ending is coming!'

As his words fell, he whistled, and suddenly more than a dozen black shadows appeared in the surrounding mist.

These black shadows were all well-equipped, not only wearing masks on their faces but also leather armor on their bodies; however, judging by their level and appearance, they still couldn't compare to the beer on Lin Yifan's body.

Nevertheless, this is enough to prove that these people's origins are not simple; at least among this batch of survivors, it's absolutely impossible for anyone to obtain so much leather armor.

Moreover, although these black shadows look like humans at first glance, Lin Yifan always feels they are probably not humans!

But the time left for Lin Yifan to think is really too short!

These people wielded weapons and quickly surrounded Lin Yifan and Su Xiao xi, their faces showing strong killing intent.

Lin Yifan's heart sank; previously only Zhao Tianba had been okay, and he hadn't felt much pressure.

But now, the pressure these people brought upon him was truly not light!

If one were to compare, only the pressure from the werewolves during the earlier fight over the Boundary Stone could be comparable.
