At this moment, it seemed as if the air had frozen. Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them. The strongest and most reckless pugilist in their team was dead?
Carlos roared in anger, once again using his Charge Skill. He slaughtered all the demonic beasts blocking his path and went straight to Theodor. Initially, he wanted to call for Timms to save him, but upon seeing the guy's exposed skull, his heart sank. Such an injury was beyond saving unless a high-level Healing Mage used resurrection magic.
"Damn it, what the hell happened here?!"
Carlos was both shocked and furious. They were all level 20 adventurers, and yet, in this novice area, they had lost a teammate. Who could have done this?
The only ones capable of shooting arrows here were the goblins. But given a goblin's strength, it was impossible for them to break through Theodor's defense. That left only one possibility!
Carlos suddenly looked at the archer, Ronald. "Ronald, what the hell happened?" Carlos asked angrily.
"What do you mean, what happened?" Ronald rushed over, and upon seeing Theodor's corpse, he couldn't help but gasp. "What happened? How did he die?"
"You should be the one to tell me!" Carlos shouted, "You're the only one with the skill here, was it you?"
Ronald was both shocked and angry, "Bullshit!"
"Why would I target Theodor? Use your brain for a second!"
"But aside from you, who else has that kind of skill?"
Ronald quickly used Long Sight to scout the surrounding area. He finally focused on the mountain top. "There's an archer up there..."
Carlos saw it too, but he couldn't believe a goblin could kill a level 20 Theodor. Before they could react, they heard the sound of three arrows whistling through the air. Three Feather Arrows were shot straight at them.
Having learned from the previous incident, the two were naturally on high alert. Carlos immediately raised his shield in front of him. With three loud bangs, he was forced back a step.
"F*ck!"
"What immense power, that's the skill Rapid Arrows!" Carlos was utterly shocked. Ronald was even more stunned because he clearly saw that the arrows were shot by that goblin.
Oh my God! A goblin had learned an archer skill?! How was this possible?!
"Kill him!" Carlos roared, charging toward the mountain wall. Ronald, filled with murderous intent, had already drawn his bow.
Archer Skill. Multi-Shot!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Three arrows were fired simultaneously, aiming straight at Chen Yao.
Chen Yao didn't get complacent after killing one person. He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly; it must have been because the opponent was careless and didn't dodge. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to easily kill a high-level adventurer. So he quickly fired three more arrows, watching as the opponent easily blocked them. Then Chen Yao turned and ran.
Knowing that there was a powerful archer among the opponents, staying exposed would be suicidal.
Boom, boom, boom! Three loud explosions. Dust and debris flew everywhere. The mountain top was left with three large gaps, spewing countless stone fragments. The goblins who hadn't escaped in time were turned into minced meat, their blood staining the entire mountain top red.
Rumbling... The collapsing rocks tumbled down the cliff, blocking Carlos's pursuit and buying Chen Yao some time. If there was one thing Chen Yao excelled at, it was running away. Seeing that so many demonic beasts couldn't stop the opponent, why would he stay and get himself killed?
"Don't let him get away, chase him!"
Carlos was already furious, swinging his sword to kill all the demonic beasts in his way. But Chen Yao, being small and agile, used Shadow Step. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dense forest, out of sight. This made Carlos even angrier, recklessly charging in that direction.
"Let me handle this!"
Camia quickly shook off two Demon Wolves, her figure like a phantom, heading straight for Chen Yao. Chen Yao, using Shadow Step, was becoming more adept at it now that he was level 10. Camia, who was a step behind, couldn't catch up for a moment.
"Is this goblin cheating or something? How is it so fast!" Camia cursed, speeding up until she could finally see Chen Yao's figure.
"That's... a scout skill, Shadow Step?"
Camia was instantly dumbfounded. What on earth was going on with this goblin? Not only could it use the archer skill Rapid Arrows, but it also knew Shadow Step. What was happening?
Could it be...
Camia suddenly thought of something unbelievable and sped up even more. "Let's see where you can run to!"
Camia sneered, flashing several times to get close behind Chen Yao. Chen Yao, with his keen hearing, was alarmed by the sound of the wind. These high-level adventurers were a real pain in the ass, so he turned and fired three arrows.
Another Multi-Shot!
"Again!"
This time, Camia was prepared. Seeing the three arrows coming, she swung her dagger, cutting them down instantly. Then she suddenly appeared beside Chen Yao, forcing him to stop with a stab.
"Let's see where you can run to!"
"To think that something as unlikely as finding a needle in a haystack actually happened, now die!"
Camia sneered coldly, mercilessly stabbing at Chen Yao. Chen Yao knew he couldn't dodge, so he didn't even try.
"Thud!"
The dagger mercilessly pierced through Chen Yao's shoulder, pinning him to a tree. The intense pain made him grunt, but he didn't scream.
Camia looked surprised, then chuckled, "I didn't expect a little goblin like you to have such endurance..."

As she spoke, she twisted the dagger in her hand, gouging into Chen Yao's flesh. The dagger continued to sink deeper until it was fully embedded in Chen Yao's body.
"Hahaha, I really don't know what the person who issued the bounty was thinking, spending so much money to buy your life!"
Now Camia understood. The other party went to such great lengths to eliminate all the goblins in the Great Forest. Their target must have been this guy. Because this goblin was too special, knowing two human skills. If not killed, it would grow into a major threat to humans.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you right away. I'll torture you to death bit by bit, to avenge my teammate!"
"To think Theodor would die at the hands of a goblin like you, it's just not worth it!"
Camia's face twisted in anger, losing all her previous charm. Chen Yao, drenched in cold sweat, stared at Camia's twisted face and suddenly let out a strange laugh.
"Hehehe!"
"If you think this will kill me, you're gravely mistaken!"
"Oh?"
"I really can't see what escape trick you have left. Go ahead and show me!"
"Then I'm sorry!"
Chen Yao suddenly reached out, grabbing Camia's wrist that was within reach.
"You..."
Camia was about to mock him when her eyes widened in shock.
