Elite Monster

Lin Feng lay in wait in the grass, keeping a close eye on the valley entrance.

When he saw that only seven Jackalmen had entered the valley, his brows furrowed slightly.

According to Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang's information, there should have been thirteen Jackalmen!

That meant they hadn't all entered the valley.

These Jackalmen were much more cautious than he'd expected.

"Archers, fire! The level 3 players keep hiding. Everyone else, charge!"

Lin Feng shouted.

After several days of hard work, eleven of the thirty players had already reached level 3.

The other nineteen players had all reached level 2.

He'd kept the level 3 players out of sight to make the humans seem weaker and lure the Jackalmen outside into the valley.

There was no reason for thirteen Jackalmen to fear nineteen humans.

When the Jackalmen outside saw so few humans lying in ambush in the valley, they'd definitely charge in to help.

That was why he'd loudly ordered the level 3 players to stay hidden.

He wasn't worried the Jackalmen would hear him. They couldn't understand him anyway.

From the grass on either side of the Jackalmen, twelve players stood up with bows in hand, drew their bows, and fired.

Twelve arrows flew toward the seven Jackalmen.

"Dodge!"

The Jackalman named Suiya reacted fastest, rolling away from where he stood.

The other Jackalmen were a beat slower. By the time they tried to dodge, the arrows were already right in front of them.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

One arrow after another whizzed past them.

Fortunately, the arrows weren't very accurate. They flew past the Jackalmen's sides and over their heads, but not one hit.

The Jackalmen let out a long breath, secretly relieved.

"Ah... I've been hit!"

Just then, a shrill scream rang out.

Suiya had rolled out of the way, but an arrow was stuck in his butt. He howled in pain.

"Haha, I hit one!"

I Shoot You Innocent, the only player to hit an enemy, couldn't help cheering loudly.

At the same time, he didn't forget to mock the other players. "You bunch of noobs couldn't even hit one of them! You're terrible."

The other players weren't happy to hear that.

"If that Jackalman hadn't dodged, you wouldn't have hit him either. You just got lucky!"

I Shoot You Innocent curled his lip dismissively. "What do you know? That's called predicting their movement! You know what that means?"

"Kill these humans!"

Suiya had already gotten back to his feet. Seeing I Shoot You Innocent looking so pleased with himself, he roared and charged at him.

The other six Jackalmen also attacked the players on either side.

"Brothers, help me!"

When I Shoot You Innocent saw the Jackalmen charging at him, his face turned pale. Memories of having his throat bitten through by a Jackalman flashed through his mind.

He hurriedly shouted for help from a nearby Strength Class player.

The Strength Class player was annoyed by his bragging, but couldn't bear to leave him to die. He tossed his bow aside, gripped a stone axe, and charged at Suiya.

Several more players sprang up from the grass and attacked the Jackalmen.

Of the thirty players, the eleven who had reached level 3 remained hidden in the grass without moving. All the others began surrounding the Jackalmen.

Lin Feng didn't hurry out either.

Nineteen level 2 players could handle seven Jackalmen. They didn't need his help yet.

Outside the valley.

When Suihou heard the sounds of fighting inside the valley, his expression shifted.

There really was an ambush in the valley!

Those cunning humans!

"Suijiao, go in and see how many humans are in there!"

Suihou ordered the Jackalman beside him.

Suijiao was the fastest member of their squad.

"Yes!"

Suijiao answered, set down the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand, and ran into the valley on all fours.

Despite the continuous sounds of fighting inside, he wasn't afraid.

He had absolute confidence in his speed. No one in the tribe was faster than him!

Even if humans attacked him, he was sure he could escape unscathed with his speed.

A minute later, Suijiao had assessed the situation inside the valley and returned.

"How many are in there?"

Suihou asked urgently.

"About twenty humans. They're surrounding Suiya and the others. But they're not very strong, and our people can hold out for now."

Suijiao replied.

"Only twenty, and they dared to ambush us? These humans really don't know their place."

A fierce glint flashed in Suihou's eyes.

He wouldn't fear twenty humans, let alone thirty.

"Follow me!"

Suihou brought his Jackalman brothers and charged into the valley.

Their seven companions were fighting the humans inside. If they attacked from behind, the Jackalmen inside could attack from the front, and together they could rout the humans in one fell swoop!

Halfway there, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Suijiao, who was following close behind.

"Suijiao, don't go in. Wait outside the valley. If the fighting stops and we haven't come out, return to the tribe at once and report what happened!"

Suihou instructed him.

Although he was confident they could rout the humans in the valley, he decided to keep a precaution in reserve.

If something unexpected happened, at least one of their companions could carry the news back.

"Yes!"

Suijiao accepted the order with a serious expression, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

There was nothing better than avoiding the risk of going in.

Inside the valley, nineteen players and seven Jackalmen fought in a tangled melee.

The players were all level 2, and were still somewhat weaker than the Jackalmen. But they had the advantage in numbers and were pressing the Jackalmen hard.

The problem was that their weapons, whether stone spears or stone axes, could hardly inflict fatal wounds on the Jackalmen.

After a fierce fight, not one of the surrounded Jackalmen had died. Instead, three or four players had been badly wounded by them.

Just then, Suihou charged into the valley with four more Jackalmen.

"Kill!"

"Tear these humans apart!"

With a savage expression, Suihou roared as he charged at the players on the outer edge.

When the players on the perimeter saw more Jackalmen rush into the valley, they were thrilled and eagerly charged to meet them.

"My spear thrusts like a dragon, my heart and gall are true!"

A Strength Class player shouted, raising his stone spear and thrusting it at Suihou, who was leading the charge.

Suihou sneered and swung his Wolf Tooth Club, smashing it against the shaft.

With a sharp crack, the stone spear broke.

The Strength Class player froze. In the next instant, Suihou's Wolf Tooth Club smashed into his head.

With a thud, it burst like a smashed watermelon.

Seeing how powerful Suihou was, the nearby players turned pale.

"Holy crap, he's strong!"

"That's an Elite Monster!"

"Everyone, watch out!"

The players cried out in alarm.

Lin Feng, still hidden in the grass, also showed a flicker of surprise.

This Jackalman leading them really was much stronger than the ordinary ones.

That was only natural.

Even among humans, who were known for their frail bodies, powerful warriors appeared from time to time—warriors who could even match the Yao and the Witch Tribe.

It was no surprise that some Elite Monsters among the Jackalmen were stronger than ordinary ones.

"Attack!"

At Lin Feng's shout, he and the eleven level 3 players hidden nearby sprang from the grass and charged at the Jackalmen.

He headed straight for Suihou.

At the players' current level, they couldn't take down this Elite Monster.

He would have to deal with him personally.
