Chapter 235: Confrontation

Facing such a strong enemy, Lin Yifan didn't dare to relax in the slightest, his whole body's muscles tensed together, always ready to fight to the death.

Su Xiao xi leaned against Lin Yifan, whispering: "Yifan brother, what should we do? We're surrounded!"

Lin Yifan took a deep breath, asked softly: "Can you see these people's information? They probably aren't humans, right?"

Su Xiao xi nodded: "They indeed aren't humans; from their information, they are a race called 'Dark Night Elves'. Although I can't see their life tier, I feel they're not low!"

"Among so many people I've seen, only Yifan brother, you and Princess Airuilinya have information similar to theirs."

"So Yifan brother, one-on-one you can definitely beat them, but there are too many of them, you're no match."

Lin Yifan's expression was equally grim: "Again Dark Night Elves, again Dark Black Alliance, these people really never quit!"

And Zhao Tianba walked up to him at this moment, with a smug smile, mocking:

"Lin Yifan, I've already investigated thoroughly—you are the strongest person in this district, but from today on, I am the strongest person in this district, you! You must die today!"

Lin Yifan slowly lifted his eyes, his expression icy, he said:

"As fellow humans, you serve other races as a dog, leading them to massacre humans—you are nothing but a traitor!"

"Traitor?" Zhao Tianba laughed wildly, "Earth Star has long been finished; in this world, only the strong have the right to survive, and only the strong have the right to live better."

"The Dark Night Alliance are strong; what's wrong with me joining them? Someone as weak as you simply isn't fit to survive in this world—I'm willing to personally finish you today; you should feel fortunate."

"After all, dying by my hand is far more pleasant than dying at the hands of alien races—you should thank me! Oh, right, remember to hand over all your supplies; of course, if you don't, it doesn't matter—my alien allies can lock onto your spatial equipment, so even if you die, I can still get your spatial equipment!"

Lin Yifan's expression was extremely grim; he really hadn't expected a traitor to appear among humans so quickly.

But the most important thing now is how to break out.

"The Resource Competition hasn't even started yet—he can't die here."

Lin Yifan took a deep breath, softly instructed Su Xiao xi behind him:

"Later I'll create chaos; you find a chance to break out, immediately return to the Shelter—as long as you're inside the Shelter, you can trigger its Protection Mechanism, and no one can forcefully break through the Shelter."

"This Protection Mechanism has actually existed all along!"

"Only Lin Yifan hadn't noticed it before, but actually, as long as someone is inside the Shelter, no one can enter the Shelter."

"Unless it's forcibly breached, but even breaching the lowest-level Shelter takes time."

"And Su Xiao xi's Shelter has already reached level three; Lin Yifan tried before—even with his attack power, obtaining a level-three Shelter is no easy feat."

"No! I can't abandon you!" Su Xiao xi firmly shook her head, quickly saying: "Yifan brother, as long as we can escape back to the Shelter, holding out for three hours is definitely no problem."

"After three hours you can enter the Resource Competition; if you can get a good ranking inside, the rewards might make you stronger, and by then dealing with these people won't be a problem!"

Lin Yifan actually had this idea too, but Su Xiao xi's Shelter is behind her; breaking through to send her in isn't difficult.

"But his Shelter is ten meters away, and the encirclement has about ten people—he wants to break out, but that's truly not easy!"

However, just as the two sides were stalemated, a sharp tearing sound suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately after, an arrow descended from the sky, precisely striking Zhao Tianba's shoulder!

"Ah! Who!" Zhao Tianba cried out in pain, angrily looking up.

Not far away on the roof stood a woman wearing Leather Armor and holding a longbow; she coldly said:

"I haven't even left the Initial Domain yet! You actually dare to attack my friend—seek death!"

Lin Yifan blinked: "Is it her?"

Su Xiao xi exclaimed in delight: "It's Princess Airuilinya! The princess is back!"

Airuilinya leapt lightly, landing beside the two. She glanced at Lin Yifan, half-smiling, and said:

"I didn't expect that just after I left for a moment, your little life would be targeted; fortunately I got news on the way, otherwise I'd only be able to clean up after you!"

Lin Yifan gave a wry smile, helplessly saying:

"I don't know why, but lately I've constantly been targeted."

"It's normal for you to be targeted." Airuilinya shrugged, turned her head to look at those few Dark Night Elves fully wrapped up, and sneered:

"These dirty, fallen elves love nothing more than stealing chickens and dogs; they can't stand others excelling, and whenever someone outshines them, they want to kill that person."

"But today, with me here, nobody dare lay a finger on you!"

At that moment, the leader of the masked men pulled down his headscarf, revealing a dark face, his hoarse voice speaking:

"Airuilinya, this is a matter between our Dark Night Alliance and humanity; it has nothing to do with your Natural Elf Clan. Currently our two peoples keep to themselves—I advise you not to meddle!"

"Who says it's unrelated to my Natural Elf Clan!" Airuilinya snorted, "Kaduomengqi, you are one of the Holy Sons of the Dark Night Elf Clan—you should know my Natural Elf Clan's 'Species Protection' plan; do you still think it's unrelated to me?"

"You mean Lin Yifan is the seed you chose?" Kaduomengqi furrowed his brows, glanced critically at Lin Yifan, slightly puzzled:

"This human may have some talent, but I just don't feel he could become a seed!"

"And even if he is the seed you chose, so what?" Kaduomengqi raised his eyebrows, indifferent:

"He's merely a newborn Survivor who hasn't left the Initial Domain yet—such a seed has absolutely no value."

"And he actually dared to wound Lainen—Lainen's identity is unknown to others, I don't believe you don't know either; since he wounded Lainen, he must die!"

"But I will protect him today!" Airuilinya raised her bow, expression stern:

"If you're capable, go past me and kill him; otherwise, I advise you not to re-elect a Holy Son for your Dark Night Elf Clan!"
