Chapter 195: Natural Born Assassin

Gu Han.

Gu Chen quickly stepped to Gu Han's side, his gaze stern, and said,

"This elusive killer is probably that white shadow that earlier chased and killed the wounded outside Cold Valley Town."

Furthermore, the White Crane Mercenary Group led by Jiang Baihe that was previously hunted down also appears to be this monster!

Gu Han nodded lightly and took out a brand‑new middle‑grade earth‑rank black spear.

His Silver Dragon Spear had already been buried under the avalanche.

Although this black spear is not pleasing to the eye, it can only be used once.

Xiao Qing likewise reacted, letting out a loud shout,

"Iron Blood Mercenary Group, form up!"

The Iron Blood Mercenary Group had not mastered any profound formations.

Their formation was simply to stand back‑to‑back and use crossbow bolts to intimidate enemies lurking in the dark!

The originally panicked Iron Blood Mercenary Group members, under Xiao Qing's command, immediately began to cover each other.

Xiao Qing himself then came to Gu Han's side and said in a low voice,

"Gu Han, little brother, we have entered the Thousand Year Cold Valley this time."

"Besides accepting the commission, we also have another reason: to avenge our brothers who died at the monster's hands."

Xiao Qing originally thought that the elite force he brought this time would surely be enough to handle almost any situation.

But he never imagined that what they would encounter this time were precisely those rare cases!

Whether it was the earlier white bear, giant boar, white tiger, or the mysterious monster they face now.

None of them are something they can deal with.

Xiao Qing could only lay out all the information he knew, hoping to work together with Gu Han to find a way to deal with the monster.

After hearing this, Gu Han furrowed his brow.

Apart from knowing that the mysterious monster lives in an area with tombstones,

there is almost nothing of value.

Moreover, the monster is extremely cautious and dare not approach him.

This leaves Gu Han completely unable to exert his strength!

Gu Han looked at the strongest among the Phantom Night Snow Fox pack.

It, at the moment the first Phantom Night Snow Fox was injured, lunged toward the disappearing white shadow.

But it grasped at air, failing to capture or kill the assassin who had slain the Phantom Night Snow Fox.

Meanwhile, the Snow Fox King was constantly patrolling the pack, trying to force the newly invisible assassin out.

But without other restrictions, it would be hard to compel the assassin to reveal himself.

What troubled Gu Han most was that the monster seemed to have no substance at all.

Snowflakes fell endlessly across the sky, yet wherever the eye could see, there was not a single gap!

Invisibility techniques merely prevent the enemy from seeing one with the naked eye; they do not truly make one disappear.

Theoretically, even in an invisible state, the body remains substantial.

If snowflakes landed on one's body, they would surely reveal a trace.

But this monster's invisibility seems truly to come and go without a trace.

Even snowflakes cannot land on it!

Unless at extremely close range, Gu Han can only detect a faint trace.

But the opponent would certainly not be so foolish as to deliberately walk into death.

Gu Han thought for a moment, then shouted at the Snow Fox King,

"Snow Fox King, this only wastes your strength and lets the enemy rest while you toil."

"I heard from Little White that your clan has long been feuding with that foe; surely you have some countermeasure?"

The Phantom Night Snow Fox King seemed very displeased that a mere human dared to question him.

Upon hearing Gu Han's inquiry, it immediately snorted contemptuously at him.

It paid no heed to Gu Han's idea and continued searching for the enemy's traces.

Faced with the Phantom Night Snow Fox King's arrogant attitude, Gu Han felt a terrible headache.

The Snow Fox King is indeed powerful; even if he truly went all out, he might not be sure to win.

But the Snow Fox King can buy time, while the other Phantom Night Snow Foxes cannot hold out!

Given enough time, the other Phantom Night Snow Foxes are very likely to die at the hands of that mysterious monster!

Just as Gu Han had that thought, a miserable scream rang out not far away!

Gu Han hurriedly followed the sound and saw another Phantom Night Snow Fox collapsed in a pool of blood!

He made a snap decision, instantly erupting with terrifying power and hurling the black spear in his hand.

Swish!

The black spear grazed the invisible monster's flesh, leaving a bloodstain on it!

Blood dripped onto the snow, melting a large patch of it.

The Phantom Night Snow Fox King seized the opportunity, let out a furious roar, and that white shadow was forced to halt its steps, unable to move.

The Snow Fox King surged forward, swiping with a claw that sent the white shadow's head flying!

Bang!

Only when the monster's head smashed to the ground and it died completely did Gu Han finally recognize what kind of creature it was.

Judging by its form, the monster should belong to the wolf clan.

However, its build was not like that of other wolf tribe demons, which are streamlined; instead, it was skin and bone.

Moreover, its white wolf fur was extremely short and clung tightly to its body.

It seemed that by this means, plus the aid of its innate skill, it blended with the surrounding environment.

In Gu Han's memory, there was no record of such a monster for a while.

"Forget it, let's just call it an Invisible Wolf for now."

However, just as Gu Han and the Phantom Night Snow Fox King each let out a sigh of relief.

Another burst of tragic cries suddenly rang out.

Gu Han's face suddenly changed dramatically.

"There are still Invisible Wolves?"

As soon as the surprised voice left his mouth, Gu Han realized his mistake.

The Phantom Night Snow Fox clan always acts as a group.

Even if the Invisible Wolf possesses an innate invisibility skill.

But those who dare to hunt the Phantom Night Snow Fox clan, the Invisible Wolves will certainly act as a group as well!

How could it possibly be a single Invisible Wolf coming to hunt the Phantom Night Snow Fox?

The Phantom Night Snow Fox King also seemed to realize this, and instantly flew into a rage.

With a roar, it madly lunged toward the position where the Invisible Wolf had appeared.

But naturally, it lunged at nothing.

The enraged Phantom Night Snow Fox King continuously let out low growls at the surrounding air, as if threatening the Invisible Wolf lurking in the darkness.

However, the Invisible Wolf is a natural assassin, extremely patient.

No matter how the Phantom Night Snow Fox King howls, threats.

These Invisible Wolves remained unmoved, waiting for the Phantom Night Snow Fox King's patience to run out.

By then, this place will be their hunting paradise!

"Wuu!"

The Phantom Night Snow Fox King's reason gradually overcame its anger, and it began to direct the clan in an orderly retreat.

As long as all the snow foxes keep their distance not too far, it can manage to look after them.

Gu Han nodded to Gu Chen and Xiao Qing, signaling everyone to follow the Phantom Night Snow Fox in retreat.

Because of the affection for Little White and the three snow fox cubs, the Phantom Night Snow Fox clan will absolutely not abandon them.

But just then, Gu Han's gaze fell upon the corpse of the dead Invisible Wolf.

He left the formation and quickly touched the Invisible Wolf's corpse.

Xiao Qing, upon seeing this, was suddenly startled,

"Little Brother Gu, be careful!"
