Chapter 16: The Phantom

Template for a hero.

These people have been receiving extra attention from the creator since the moment of awakening.

They have a lot of room to grow, and with some outstanding expertise, they have the strength to reach higher and stronger realms, even the mythical supreme level.

Chen Feng doesn't really like to be around these people. Although he doesn't want to admit it, spending too much time with these guys can lead to some feelings of inferiority, as if he is just a supporting role.

Especially...

These guys have an equal ability and strength to stir up trouble.

Halo of misfortune.

Wherever they go, trouble follows. It starts with their family, then friends, and then their established power. Without extraordinary luck and strong vitality, few can accompany them to the end.

(It is rumored that, aside from the care, these people have also been cursed by the heavens.)

...

At close range.

Chen Feng saw the face of the woman clearly. She was young, not even over twenty. Her left hand was clenched into a fist, and her right hand was holding a long knife, with delicate fingers gripping the blade like holding a fresh flower branch. With handsome eyes and a sad look on her cherry lips, she effortlessly killed the enemies, leaving a clean and neat impression.

The girl successfully broke into the nursing home, and Chen Feng missed the best opportunity to kill her.

Chen Feng's strategy had to change, focusing on the ground dragon behind her.

The ground dragon had formidable defensive power. Given its current rampage state, collapsing the nursing home would hardly harm it.

But Chen Feng couldn't do that. Besides, even if he managed to escape safely once the building collapses, he would still have to face the rampaging ground dragon.

Summoner versus the ground dragon head-on?

Chen Feng was far from having that kind of strength.

In that case, he could only settle the battlefield outside.

"Shoot its eye!"

Chen Feng's low voice rang in the ear of the dark elf, making her shiver. As a servant, she clearly felt her master's killing intent and anger.

The dark elf trembled and bit her lip.

Conquest.

Chen Feng's commands and reprimands.

Tilted his head, a touch of helplessness flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. He raised his right hand and slapped, "If you fail again, I will give you to the inferior demon!"

Pain.

The dark elf opened her mouth, her legs trembling, her eyes filled with resentment, sorrow, and a hint of faint anticipation.

Even to an inferior demon...?

If it weren't for the present use of her, Chen Feng would really consider getting another summoned creature...

After all, the taste is a bit too heavy, isn't it?

...

"Just a little more..."

Xu Hongzhuang gritted her teeth and ran forward, but the roar from before had seriously injured her. Her chest was hurting, and every step felt like being cut by a knife.

The ground dragon was closely pursuing her. In this close range, Xu Hongzhuang even felt the heat from the dragon's nostrils.

She would soon run into this building, but what did that matter? Concrete and bricks could not stop the ground dragon's charge. She would die sooner or later...

Knowing it was death, why run?

Xu Hongzhuang stiffened, her face turning paler. Even though she had a strong heart and excellent swordsmanship, she was still a young girl. She felt a hint of fear, torment, and a desire to end her own life, but she had sworn to her deceased relatives that she would slay all monsters in her lifetime.

"I can't give up... I can't give up until the very end. Even if it's only a one percent chance, no, even if it's a one-thousandth or a one-ten-thousandth chance, as long as I can still breathe, I can't let these guys look down on me..."

Xu Hongzhuang barely forced a smile. At this moment, a determined look appeared on her face, even though she was exhausted. Her belief in her heart made her never give up.

The ground dragon made a move. It had obviously realized that Xu Hongzhuang was at her weakest, and it was panting and showing a fierce expression. Dragons, proud and arrogant creatures, even though it had only inherited a little of the bloodline, it still had its principles.

It was infuriated by being injured by such a weak creature. The pain in its chest made the ground dragon feel inexplicably angry. It must kill this creature, no! It wanted to slowly crush her bones and let her die in pain!

The ground dragon's speed increased...

It stretched its neck, about to bite through Xu Hongzhuang's body when suddenly, a change occurred...

"Whoosh!"

In the silent darkness, a cold wind suddenly swept in like a flash, with an unstoppable force, arriving at this moment!

...

Xu Hongzhuang widened her eyes. This feeling was unmistakably the same as the arrow that had attacked her before. Who on earth wanted to kill her with just a bow and arrow?

Just blocking the arrow before made her arm now a little numb, and she couldn't defend herself against this blow...

But Xu Hongzhuang couldn't say anything because she only heard a "thud," a crisp sound of impact, and then she felt a sudden warmth on her back.

Blood.

Xu Hongzhuang looked back involuntarily, and her pupils dilated instantly.

The ground dragon's eye was pierced!

A dark arrow was stuck in its left eye!

Too fast!

Everything was too fast!

So fast that even the ground dragon hadn't reacted. Its eyeball was burst, and the blood spraying from its eye socket was from the arrow that had just hit her.

An arrow?!

In this moment, Xu Hongzhuang even forgot the pain in her body. She thought that playing with knives was already quite unusual in this modern city, and now... someone had pierced the ground dragon's eye with just a bow and arrow!

The creature behind her was no ordinary cat or dog, but a monster whose skin she had barely managed to graze with her surprise attack!

Was I seeing things?

How could the arrow be so fast, so accurate, and hit the eye of the ground dragon from such a distance?

Venting her anger!

Xu Hongzhuang had taken refuge in a factory, but the ground dragon had breached the factory, slaughtering over thirty people. She had been entangled with it all the way, narrowly escaping being killed by it.

And now...

This once arrogant monster had met such a miserable end, truly satisfying!

Following that, a new suspicion arose in Xu Hongzhuang's mind.

Who exactly is this master?!
