Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint

Chapter 458 - 277: Arrow Shot at the Cyan Dragon (Part 2)

Xu Xiang let out a cry of anguish.

Blood sprayed everywhere!

The arrow actually penetrated his body.

Keep in mind, he’s at full power now!

His defense is incredibly high.

"Hmm? He has companions?"

The man looked at Xu Xiang falling from the sky, not only did he not rejoice, but his brows furrowed deeply.

Although Wang Hao’s strike did not stop the arrow, it slightly altered its course, resulting in it not hitting Xu Xiang’s vital point.

While it still severely injured Xu Xiang, it didn’t kill him.

"What do we do now?"

"Let’s go! Find the Fire-Swallowing Bird as soon as possible, kill it, and leave."

The man slung the bow back over his shoulder and cast a deep glance at the place where the Cyan Dragon fell:

"Xu Xiang is so badly wounded, he’s basically lost his combat ability; they should choose to retreat to the Settlement Camp."

He paused as he spoke: "Of course, if they choose to come and seek death, then we’ll just kill them then."

...

In the snow, Xu Xiang transformed into human form; below his heart, there was a hole.

Blood gushed continuously.

He desperately pressed his hand against it, but he couldn’t stop the bleeding.

Wang Hao rushed over, taking off his backpack, searching for medicine inside.

Chen Lingxue followed, a chill froze Xu Xiang’s wound, temporarily stopping the bleed.

After taking painkillers, his pale face looked a little better.

"Damn! There’s a surge of violent energy rampaging in my body."

Xu Xiang gritted his teeth and said.

He had the Cyan Dragon superpower, boasting strong recovery ability.

Yet inside him, there was a foreign energy, frantically wrecking havoc, worsening his injuries.

"Oh?"

Wang Hao placed his fingertips on Xu Xiang’s wrist, injecting a trace of Spiritual Power into him, soon finding the foreign energy.

"Get out!"

With a light shout, Wang Hao forcibly expelled that energy.

Xu Xiang gasped for air, feeling much relieved.

"Damn it, what was that thing just now, why is it so powerful, Brother Hao! If it weren’t for you, I might already be dead. I owe you one; I, Xu Xiang, will remember this favor."

Xu Xiang said seriously.

If it weren’t for Wang Hao’s intervention, that arrow could have pierced his heart.

He would’ve been a dead man by now.

"Send a distress signal."

Wang Hao turned to Chen Lingxue.

Chen Lingxue took out a signal flare and fired it into the sky.

"I’m going to see who these people are."

Wang Hao looked in the direction the arrow had come from.

Spiritual Artifact!

The opponent probably used a Spiritual Artifact, and a very powerful one at that.

Could they perhaps be cultivators?

If they were cultivators, their value would be quite significant.

They might have some spells and such with them.

Wang Hao could also utilize their Spiritual Artifacts.

If nothing else, killing them could still allow him to absorb their Spiritual Power.

"Lingxue, you should go with Brother Hao!"

Xu Xiang suggested.

"But you..."

Chen Lingxue hesitated.

She wanted to go with Wang Hao, especially since the Fire-Swallowing Bird was still over there.

But Xu Xiang was severely injured and needed care.

"I’m fine, the bleeding has stopped, the rampant energy was also expelled by Brother Hao, and rescue is on the way, I’ll be alright."

Xu Xiang waved his hand.

Although Wang Hao was very strong, the opponent didn’t seem weak either.

Plus, they didn’t know how many there were on the opponent’s side.

It would be dangerous for Wang Hao to go alone.

Chen Lingxue: "Okay! Just be careful."

Wang Hao didn’t waste words and quickly pursued the direction from which the arrow had been shot.

Chen Lingxue followed closely behind.

"Judging by the footprints, there should be six people."

After finding the opponent’s tracks, Wang Hao crouched down to inspect them and furrowed his brows deeply.

He glanced at Chen Lingxue next to him.

"I...."

She wanted to say she was fine.

But remembering Xu Xiang’s miserable state, she hesitated.

Six people?

She couldn’t promise herself she could handle three at once.

"Suppress your energy, follow them, and see what’s going on; they should be here for the Fire-Swallowing Bird too.

Once they start fighting, we can judge their strength and decide what to do then."

Wang Hao chose the more conservative plan.

See their strength before anything.

Rushing in directly was indeed reckless.

"I’ll follow your lead!"

Chen Lingxue nodded.

A sense of frustration welled up in her heart.

She never thought of herself as weaker than anyone.

Yet Wang Hao’s earlier impact struck her.

Now she felt like she was dragging Wang Hao down.

Get stronger!

She wanted to become stronger, to be stronger than Wang Hao.

No matter what, she had to get the gall of the Fire-Swallowing Bird!

A resolute glow flashed in Chen Lingxue’s eyes.

...

In the depths of the mountains

Outside an unknown cave, all the snow had melted, and the ground was even scorched dry.

Red light flickered intermittently inside the cave.

A searing aura occasionally burst forth from it.

"The Fire-Swallowing Bird must be hiding in there."

Several silhouettes landed at the cave entrance.

"It’s a bit troublesome! Inside the cave, we can’t display our full strength. Once the Fire-Swallowing Bird goes all out, the flames will instantly fill the cave; it’s difficult to escape unharmed."

A subordinate said in a deep voice.

"The Fire-Swallowing Bird is so heavily injured now, it’s already a spent force, shouldn’t be a big issue, right?"

"After all, it’s an ancient spirit beast; if it fights to the death, it won’t be easily blocked."

...

They whispered among themselves.

If it were in an open, flat place, they could arrange their formation, and together with the man’s bow and arrow, killing the dying Fire-Swallowing Bird wouldn’t be too difficult.

But in this narrow cave, they couldn’t set up a battle formation; if the Fire-Swallowing Bird attacked them, they had nowhere to hide and could only withstand it directly.

"Why don’t we wait? Guard this place; if it comes out, we’ll get it, and if not, let it exhaust itself to death."

Someone suggested.

This was the safest approach.

"No way! Xu Xiang is severely wounded; he won’t just let this go, and he’ll definitely gather experts from the Settlement Camp to encircle us.

We must fight quickly and finish this!"

The man decisively refused.

"The master also can’t wait too long; the Soul-Devouring Ring is the master’s cherished item; we must help her repair it before she wakes up."

The woman also spoke up.

Everyone fell silent momentarily, then a ruthless gleam flashed in their eyes.

"Then let’s fight! Charge in and fight; at worst, we pay some price; I want to see how much strength a dying Fire-Swallowing Bird can muster."

They eventually reached a unanimous decision.

Charge!

All six of them, fully guarded, entered the cave.

Meanwhile, in a hidden spot not far away, Wang Hao and Chen Lingxue lay quietly.

Wang Hao used Spiritual Power to enhance his hearing, barely catching their earlier conversation.

Master?

Soul-Devouring Ring?

What’s going on?

These seemingly formidable people are servants of some great person?

And what is this Soul-Devouring Ring?

What’s its relation with the Fire-Swallowing Bird?

But anyway, their brainless decision to charge straight in is a great advantage for Wang Hao.

If they fight the Fire-Swallowing Bird to the death, it’d be best if they both perish together.

Wang Hao glanced at Chen Lingxue by his side, furrowing his brows slightly.

If only she were Xiaoyueyue.

In that case, he could ask Xiaoyueyue to bring out the Anti-tank Sniper Rifle and shoot at the people coming out.

A bullet infused with Spiritual Power would have tremendous power too.

If luck’s on his side, it might even be a one-shot kill.

"Lingxue, I’ll go in; you provide support!"

"Alright!"

Wang Hao took out the Blade of Plunder, switching to its Golden Threaded Blade form.

Golden threads shot out, wrapping around a protruding rock; with a flick of his wrist, Wang Hao soared directly over.

Watching his dashing figure, Chen Lingxue’s eyes became somewhat dazed.

She could never have expected the once ordinary boy, apart from his looks, could grow to this extent.
