Escape Through the Dense Forest

"Lugan, hurry up and keep up!"

A loud shout rang out from deep within the forest.

The Female Hunter was running towards the town with another awakened one and three hunters under her command.

Behind them, a horde of Corrupted Poison Spider and other Devil Beast beasts followed closely.

Since last night, the seven-person Distant Hunt party that set off has lost two members.

Last night, we were blocked by Corrupted Poison Spider in front and pursued by Devil Beast from behind.

In such a crisis situation.

Despite the Female Hunter's best efforts to rescue them, two ordinary hunters still died in the crossfire of these ferocious beasts.

In fact, even Dan himself was injured in the battle.

For a Fourth Stage hunter, this injury was completely unexpected.

With Dan's own abilities, escaping safely would be a piece of cake.

However, she could not abandon her companions and leave alone, so she remained at the back of the group.

"Sister Dan, don't worry about me!"

At this moment, one of the other three hunters spoke up, "Doing this is clearly just dragging you down, so why put yourself in danger for the sake of us good-for-nothings?"

The other two ordinary hunters remained silent.

But the resolute look in their eyes clearly conveyed the same meaning.

Dan is usually a qualified hunter leader.

They also receive a lot of care in their daily lives.

The hunters witnessed Dan's fearless escape last night, and their observations have continued until now.

The dangers involved are self-evident.

As partners who have followed Dan for so many years, how could they not know the Female Hunter's abilities? If it weren't for being dragged down by them.

Dan has probably already escaped back to town with another Awakened One!

"Shut up, we're almost safe!" Danze had no intention of abandoning the three of them. She shouted wearily, "Shut up and keep running!"

In just a few words.

The rustling sound came from the woods behind them again.

A small, Corrupted Poison Spider burst out of the forest almost instantly and pounced on one of the hunters in the group.

Whoosh! In an instant, an arrow flew from the Female Hunter's hand.

During its swooping attack, the spider was pierced by an arrow and pinned to a birch tree behind it. It didn't even have time to struggle before it lost its life.

But then, even larger spiders rushed out.

Dan remained calm and continued to hold off the Devil Beast.

However, from her hunter's perspective, further out in the forest, there were other Devil Beast observing the battlefield, emanating a similarly menacing aura.

If we're not careful, these guys will definitely seize the opportunity to attack! "Run!"

Dan shouted and urged his companions to run forward.

He stayed behind, firing arrows in rapid succession, instantly pinning another large Corrupted Poison Spider to the ground.

However, there were simply too many of these Devil Beast.

Dan touched his quiver; now there were only two arrows left inside.

She had been using her resources sparingly, but after this escape, she was indeed out of ammunition and food.

After that, all we could do was pull out our Hunter Knife and fight these Devil Beast in close combat!

Thinking of this, the Female Hunter gritted her teeth and ran a few more steps forward with the group.

The image of her son, who had argued with her before the Distant Hunt, flashed through her mind, and her determination to go back became even stronger.

Dan no longer hesitated.

She held the remaining two arrows in her hand and drew the bowstring again.

Thud! Suddenly, the sound of a bowstring twanging like thunder echoed through the forest.

Dan could see clearly that an arrow, as fast as lightning, shot out from the forest ahead.

In a flash, it passed through the fleeing crowd.

A Corrupted Poison Spider was instantly pinned to the ground.

Moreover, the body tissues of this Corrupted Poison Spider immediately rotted and decayed at the wound pierced by the arrow, demonstrating a lethality unlike that of a regular arrow!

"Who?"

Dan looked confused.

The owner of the arrow was undoubtedly the reinforcements.

Judging from the trajectory of this arrow, the Female Hunter was confident that her archery skills were superior to her opponent's.

But she couldn't find any Awakened individual in the entire Hidden Borderlands who could match the special abilities of these arrows.

Dan was filled with doubts.

But this arrow clearly gave her an opportunity. The Female Hunter dared not hesitate and put away her longbow to follow the group to the back.

They continued their escape forward.

After seeing several more arrows fly by, the members of the Distant Hunt party finally saw the person who would come to their aid.

"Linsey, it's you?"

"Why are you here!"

The person who lends a helping hand to the Hunting Team.

It was Linsey happened to be hunting in the forest today.

He sensed the problem through his prey and rushed to provide support as quickly as possible.

With his upgraded archery skills and Iron Horn Great Bow, he rhythmically fired Armor-Piercing Arrow backward.

Each time, the thunderous sound of the bowstring rang out.

One of the Corrupted Poison Spider that was chasing them from behind collapsed to the ground, having lost its life.

When the Hunting Team arrived, Linsey explained to the astonished Female Hunter:

"I was hunting in the forest when I heard what was going on here."

"Dan, what's with these spiders and Devil Beast? Where are the others?"

"Let's talk as we go," Dan's eyes darkened. She called Linsey, and the two of them covered their companions' retreat before speaking, "On the way back, we were attacked by a wave of Devil Beast, and during our escape, we were stopped by these spiders, resulting in the loss of two of our members."

Two hunters died...

Upon hearing this news, Linsey's gaze darkened once again.

He also frequently joined Hunting Team and had a good relationship with these hunters.

As a result, this supposedly safe and worry- Distant Hunt turned into a nightmare in which he would never see his two friends again!

Thinking about this, Linsey was speechless.

He noticed that the Female Hunter's quiver only had two arrows left, so he immediately took out an arrow from his bag and handed it to her.

The two men took turns firing, covering the team's continued retreat.

With Linsey's arrow support, the Female Hunter's threat to the Devil Beast returned to its peak, and the pressure on the team was reduced accordingly.

Although it was impossible to kill all the pursuing Devil Beast, they managed to maintain a stable retreat rhythm.

Before long, they approached the Border Town.

At this distance, the pursuing Devil Beast began to hesitate.

Linsey wanted to kill a few more.

However, he knew very well that the most urgent task was to get the hunters back safely.

The moment Devil Beast hesitated, it was an opportunity not to be missed! The next second, Linsey took out the Wind Whistle without hesitation, put it to his lips and blew hard.

Woohoo—

The deep growls of the wild beasts echoed through the forest in an instant.

The moment the flute sounded.

Ordinary wild beasts immediately scattered and fled, and even the originally persistent horde of Devil Beast beasts chose to leave under the shock of the sound.

Only the Corrupted Poison Spider remained unaffected by the power of the Wind Whistle.

They remained in place, menacingly continuing their ferocious pursuit.

But not long after.

Finally, as if noticing some change, these spiders immediately retreated like a tide, disappearing into the forest.

Why did they leave?

The Female Hunter was still confused.

Linsey glanced at the map and immediately understood.

In the direction of the Border Town, several Green Marker symbolizing support are approaching from two directions.

The Corrupted Poison Spider will not retreat.

Instead, they will be surrounded by human reinforcements!
