Killing the Red-Eyed Rabbit

"Holy crap! You couldn't hit it from this close? You learned absolutely nothing with that archery of yours!"

Swift as Wind couldn't help but complain.

"Watch closely, I'm going in!"

Swift as Wind gripped his longsword tightly, eager to give it a try.

"Hey, don't do anything reckless—"

Xiao Fan hurriedly tried to stop him, but before he could finish his sentence, Swift as Wind had already bolted like an arrow released from a bow, his speed leaving nothing but a blur behind.

"Fierce Beast! Taste my blade!"

Xiao Fan felt his heart jolt.

Swift as Wind truly lived up to his name; his speed was astonishing!

Seeing Swift as Wind close the distance to the Red-Eyed Rabbit in the blink of an eye, his movements clean and decisive.

"There's a chance!"

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on him.

"You beast! Pay with your life!"

Swift as Wind held his longsword high, the tip pointed straight at the Red-Eyed Rabbit, his face filled with excitement and confidence.

However.

Before his words had even faded, Swift as Wind felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been struck by a giant boulder. Immediately after, he was sent flying backward, completely out of control.

Seeing this, Han the Person and the other two rushed forward to catch Swift as Wind. As a result, impacted by the sheer force, Swift as Wind and the three of them all tumbled to the ground, instantly becoming a tangled mess.

Watching the Red-Eyed Rabbit in the distance cast a mocking glance at them, Xiao Fan felt his vision go dark, then dark again.

At this moment, he finally understood the true weight of Zone 18 in the Novice Village.

"Cough, cough... this Fierce Beast is actually this powerful!"

Swift as Wind scrambled up from the ground, his face showing signs of terror.

Xiao Fan: ...

The strength of a Red-Eyed Rabbit was already at the bottom of the barrel among Level 1 Fierce Beasts, only slightly stronger than the Level 1 Fierce Beasts in the Cloud Sea Forest of the Trial Land.

Furthermore, it was a "glass cannon" with only 120 HP; any Level 1 Player could kill it solo if they were just a little careful.

But the Red-Eyed Rabbit had a skill where it would jump up and glare at people, which was why Xiao Fan had chosen to have the Archer Garfield Without Fat attack from a distance.

Yet he never imagined his teammates would be so unreliable!

Fortunately, the Red-Eyed Rabbit didn't deal much damage, and the four of them weren't injured.

"Brothers, listen to my command! Let's surround and kill this Red-Eyed Rabbit together!"

Han the Person climbed up from the ground, raised his broadsword, and shouted.

"Jiu Chen, you go wait on the side and try your best not to get hurt. If you see anyone get injured, find an opportunity to go in and heal them."

Han the Person commanded calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded and stood to the side; there was nothing wrong with Han the Person's order.

"It seems Han the Person's command is actually quite decent."

No sooner had this thought crossed Xiao Fan's mind than he saw Han the Person wave his arm.

"Everyone else, charge with me!"

After shouting, he raised his broadsword and was the first to rush out.

Xiao Fan patted his forehead, his vision going dark again; how could he have possibly had the illusion that Han the Person was reliable?

For the next while, the four of them chased the Red-Eyed Rabbit, running back and forth in a chaotic mess.

Ten minutes passed, and they hadn't even touched a single hair on the Red-Eyed Rabbit, while they themselves were exhausted to the point of collapse.

The Red-Eyed Rabbit seemed to be toying with them, not running far, just leading the four of them in circles.

Garfield Without Fat had the worst stamina; by now, he was drenched in sweat, hunched over and panting: "I... I can't do it anymore... I can't run..."

Xiao Fan: ...

He truly didn't understand why a ranged Archer was running along with them.

"If this keeps up, we won't even kill one Fierce Beast in a day."

Xiao Fan watched as the three of them grew slower and slower, their stamina clearly nearing its limit.

Once their stamina was exhausted, if they encountered a Fierce Beast, they wouldn't even be able to run away.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan couldn't just stand there. He ran up to help Garfield Without Fat up: "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Garfield Without Fat instinctively replied, but when he turned around and saw it was Xiao Fan, he instantly said anxiously: "Why are you running over here, Doctor? Don't get in the way of our monster hunting!"

Xiao Fan: ...

"Do you see that tree?" Xiao Fan pointed at a large tree not far away.

"The tree? What's wrong with that tree?" Garfield Without Fat's eyes sparkled with pure, unadulterated stupidity.

"Aim at that tree. When I say fire, you fire immediately," Xiao Fan instructed.

"Why on earth would you make me shoot a tree?" Garfield Without Fat didn't understand.

"I told you to shoot, so shoot! Don't ask why!" Xiao Fan's tone suddenly turned serious, and his face went cold.

Seeing Xiao Fan like this, Garfield Without Fat was so startled that he immediately raised his bow and arrow, aiming at the large tree.

Jiu Chen was really scary just now, Garfield Without Fat muttered to himself.

Seeing that Garfield Without Fat was ready, Xiao Fan finally spoke.

"Now listen to my command: Zai Zai, attack from the right; Han the Person, attack from the left; Swift as Wind, attack from the front."

The three of them, Han the Person and the others, were already feeling somewhat numb; the Red-Eyed Rabbit was too fast, and they simply couldn't keep up.

Just as the three were feeling bewildered, Xiao Fan's voice suddenly rang out.

Perhaps because Xiao Fan's voice was so stern, the three of them instinctively followed his instructions, immediately changing their formation and closing in on the Red-Eyed Rabbit from three directions.

With people coming from three directions, the Red-Eyed Rabbit's range of movement suddenly shrank significantly.

Seeing this, the eyes of Han the Person and the others lit up.

This method was working!

"Surround it, don't let it run!" Han the Person shouted excitedly.

The Red-Eyed Rabbit looked left and right; given its strength, if it let the three of them get close, it would be a dead end.

Seeing the three of them getting closer and closer, the Red-Eyed Rabbit turned around, intending to escape from the rear.

"It's trying to run! Go! Don't let it get away!"

Seeing the Red-Eyed Rabbit about to flee, Han the Person became anxious, and the three of them accelerated even more.

Xiao Fan stared fixedly at the Red-Eyed Rabbit's movement, calculating rapidly in his mind.

"It's over. It's going to get away," came the frustrated voice of Han the Person from over there.

"Now!" Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fire!"

As soon as the words fell, Garfield Without Fat, who had been ready for a long time, released his fingers. The arrow left the string, flying out with a whistling sound as it cut through the air.

The Red-Eyed Rabbit leaped and landed in front of that large tree. Just as it jumped again, preparing to escape, a long arrow struck it right in its thick, powerful thigh.

The Red-Eyed Rabbit's body, having lost strength in its leg, fell to the ground.

Han the Person and the others had already been in despair, but they hadn't expected that at the critical moment, Garfield Without Fat's arrow would hold the Red-Eyed Rabbit back.

At this moment, even if the three of them were slow or foolish, they knew exactly what to do.

Strike while the iron is hot!

"Brothers, let's go, kill it together."

Following a loud shout from Han the Person, Zai Zai and Swift as Wind attacked simultaneously.

A sword, a spear, and a blade all landed on the Red-Eyed Rabbit. In an instant, the Red-Eyed Rabbit's health bar was wiped clean, and it was dead as a doornail.

"We actually killed the Red-Eyed Rabbit!"

"Awesome! Let this beast toy with us; in the end, didn't it still die under my blade?"

"Still wanted to escape from the palm of your grandfather Swift as Wind! Keep dreaming."

Swift as Wind and the others were yelling with excitement.

"I... I actually hit it?" Garfield Without Fat looked at his own hands in disbelief.
