David and the others stood beside the road as the arrow came from somewhere inside the forest. He looked at Sebastian and communicated with his eyes, asking if he had any idea where the archer was.
While they were communicating, the voice of the woman sounded again, clearer this time.
"Don't try to act smart; it will only take one arrow of mine to blast your skull into bits and pieces. Place your storage rings on the ground and move a hundred meters back," the unknown attacker warned in a frigid tone, noticing their subtle communication attempts.
At this time, a small whisper resounded in Mary's head, causing her eyes to flash.
"Two hundred meters directly in front of us," she whispered. Her Crystallization of Life wasn't just for show; it gave her the ability to charm and control any living being in existence. Right now, she had communicated with the trees around her and found out the location of the attacker.
As soon as the word left her mouth, the air around them screamed, and tens of arrows appeared in front of them. This time, however, they were prepared. Sebastian moved to the front and muttered while raising his hands.
"Darkheaven transformation."
With those words, Sebastian's body glowed with a black light, and the air in front of them solidified, forming a huge wall.
Thud! Thud!
The arrows struck the wall and fell to the ground.
"Damn! This bitch. How was she able to find my location so quickly?"
"Leader, my location is exposed. I am moving; you take care of the rest," a petite woman holding an unranked-grade bow muttered to herself, standing on a tree branch.
"Useless! How was your location exposed? Now support us from the back. I will take care of them," a male voice filled with ridicule sounded in her ears. She gritted her teeth and took her position on one of the tallest trees. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Huff!
Sebastian's face turned red as he took a deep breath to calm his raging heart. Although his Crystallization was powerful, it consumed too much mana and was almost unusable at the Body Refining Realm. It was only at the Foundation Building Realm that he could fully showcase its powers.
Suddenly, eight men appeared from the forest, surrounding them from all sides. The one leading them was a man in his early thirties. All of them were dressed in shabby clothes, looking at David's group greedily, especially at the two girls.
However, David wasn't worried; in fact, he sighed with relief. None of them were at the Foundation Building Realm.
David suddenly felt pity for the group of bandits. They had eyes but couldn't see the ten-foot-tall Mount Tai covered in full body armor. But that didn't mean he wasn't going to take revenge.
Completely ignoring the threat in front of him, he looked at Sebastian and ordered, "Find and capture that woman for me while I deal with these idiots."
Sebastian nodded and disappeared into the forest before the eight bandits could understand anything.
Crackle!
"Now let me deal with you first." David thought and appeared in front of the nearest bandit, kicking him. His kick, filled with unprecedented power, killed the bandit almost instantly.
Before his comrades could register his death, David moved like a god of death, killing four bandits consecutively. When the four bloodied bodies fell to the ground, the remaining four finally reacted.
Two of them immediately tried to run. David didn't chase after them; instead, he threw two empty cups of coffee. The cups squarely hit the people on the back of their heads, and they fell to the ground.
The remaining two were frozen in shock.
"P~Please let me go. I will do whatever you want," the bandit leader stuttered, drenched in cold sweat.
"Oh! Really? Then kill this guy beside you." David looked at the bandit leader with interest and smiled.
David had just finished his words when the bandit leader suddenly moved and stabbed the man standing beside him without hesitation.
"Bos~" The underling wasn't even able to express his disbelief before falling to the ground, eyes filled with dread and shock.
"Can I go now?" The bandit leader looked at David fearfully, without a shred of guilt on his face as if the person he had killed wasn't one of his men.
"Yeah! Why not, but before that, let me give you something. You wanted my money, right? I'm in a generous mood today. Just sign this agreement, and you can leave," David said, holding a scroll in his hand.
Mary watched the scene with interest from the sidelines. Ruby had closed her eyes, meditating as if the fight had nothing to do with her.
"Tell me how much you want," David asked, raising one eyebrow.
"Really?" The bandit leader uttered in disbelief. "100,000. I want a hundred thousand spirit stones," he said, quoting a random number.
Hearing his words, David smiled even more generously and flicked his wrist. A mid-grade spirit stone appeared in his hand.
"Oh! My heavens, a mid-grade spirit stone. Just sign this agreement, and it's yours," David said, showing him the spiritual agreement.
Ecstatic, the bandit leader hurriedly signed the agreement without bothering to read it.
"I've signed it. Now give me the stone," he said, greedily eyeing the stone.
However, at this time, the generous smile had completely disappeared from David's face.
He moved like flash, and smashed the Bandit leader's head with his leg.
"You!" With those words bandit leader lifeless body fell to he ground.
As soon as the bandit leader died, a window popped in front of him.
[Warning! Killing banks client is unacceptable without a suitable reasons.]
David face turned ugly, after reading the notification, his attempt to exploit banks abilities had failed.
But he didn't had intention to give up, David to planned to experiment.
After sighing! He started moving once again, and searched through the bodies of bandits laying on the ground.
In total, he found three storage rings, all of them on the bandits leaders body, and rest of them were dirt poor.
