Chapter 491: Chapter 492: Finally Taking Action_1

Seeing both sides continuously probing each other, Agunas’s phantom looked at Feng Yuan with some puzzlement and asked

"You actually have the patience not to take action until now?"

Glancing at the phantom of Agunas, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"Didn’t I say I wouldn’t take action? How could I not hold back?"

"Really?"

Doubtfully eyeing Feng Yuan, as Hua Yiyou gradually adapted to the power of the Longbow, the tide of battle slowly tilted in Mo Li’s favor. Noticing something amiss, the black-clad men exchanged glances and nodded before pulling out a round object that seemed to be a pill. Seeing this, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Why bother..."

"Xiao Ji, stop them!"

At Feng Yuan’s command, Xiao Ji and Hua Yiyou swiftly attacked the black-clad men. Seeing Hua Yiyou use multiple arrows, Feng Yuan said with a hint of emotion,

"Didn’t expect you to be quite strong, huh~"

Hua Yiyou, seeing the pills all being shot away, relaxed and replied,

"We often need to assist the village’s Hunters with hunting, so being adept with a bow isn’t strange."

"A normal person wouldn’t be able to handle it as easily as you do now; after all, energy arrows are different from regular ones."

"Just make sure they don’t transform, huh~"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s reminder, everyone’s expression changed. Mo Li abruptly lunged forward; the spear in her hand turned into a purple dragon that wove in and out among the enemies. The guards, unable to keep up with Mo Li’s pace, could only provide cover from the sidelines. Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Sickle!"

"Greatsword not working?"

Although Feng Yuan was puzzled, he still took out the pitch-black Sickle and tossed it over. Watching the Sickle rotate in the air, Guo Huai dodged the flying Sickle with some speechlessness. The Sickle whistled past Guo Huai’s ear when he heard a noise like the Sickle piercing something.

Guo Huai gaped at the black-clad man impaled by the Sickle, looking surprised. Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"That guy’s luck is really bad."

Pulling out the Sickle, Guo Huai swept Feng Yuan a speechless glance. Feng Yuan spread his hands innocently and said,

"I didn’t do it on purpose."

Seeing Guo Huai flailing with the Sickle without any technique, Feng Yuan asked with some confusion,

"You’ve never used a Sickle before, have you?"

"Of course not."

"Then why do you want the Sickle..."

"It’s at least a long-handled weapon. The Greatsword is too heavy and hard to swing."

Hearing Guo Huai’s unapologetic reply, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"I see."

Although Mo Li and the others had already launched their offense, it seemed not very effective. Noticing the black-clad men attempting to pick up the pills again, Feng Yuan didn’t need to speak before Hua Yiyou shouted,

"Don’t hide your skills any longer! A prolonged defense inevitably leads to a defeat; I trust you understand that."

Hearing Hua Yiyou’s shout, Mo Li smiled slightly as her spear movements became more intense. The weapons of the black-clad men couldn’t get close to Mo Li, blocked by her spear, while the guards swung their Longknives watertight, making it impossible for the black-clad men to strike them.

Feng Yuan looked curiously at a previously injured Guard and asked,

"What’s going on with you?"

With a red face, the Guard said embarrassingly,

"A moment of carelessness..."

The group of black-clad men, overwhelmed by the onslaught from Mo Li and the others, kept retreating. Guo Huai, feeling somewhat dejected, returned to Feng Yuan’s side and said,

"I thought we were all about the same, but it turns out I’m the only loser here."

Glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan said with some surprise,

"Why would you think you were strong?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said irritably,

"Can’t you just comfort me a bit?"

"Go ask your Iron Ruler for comfort. Are the wandering practitioners really that bad?"

Meeting Feng Yuan’s peculiar gaze, Guo Huai said with a guilty conscience,

"I’ve always practiced boxing, and I’m not used to suddenly using weapons."

"Is that really so?"

Meanwhile, Feng Yuan noticed that the black-clad men had sneakily picked up and swallowed the pills again. He rubbed his forehead, somewhat helplessly saying,

"Really... can’t even slack off."

Snatching the Sickle back, just as Feng Yuan was about to speak, Hua Yiyou shouted at Mo Li,

"Fall back!"

Hearing Hua Yiyou’s shout, Mo Li hesitated slightly before saying to the Guard beside her,

"Retreat!"

The black-clad people let out beast-like howls as they gradually transformed into strange creatures resembling purple slime, and thick layers of fallen leaves on the ground emitted billows of white smoke as they were corroded by the purple liquid dripping from the purple slime creatures.

At that moment, Feng Yuan, holding Sickle, stepped forward. With a sweeping motion, dark columns of fire surged from the ground, and the purple slime creatures within the flames let out piercing shrieks. Feng Yuan, covering his ears with one hand and frowning in disgust, said,

"Why do they always like to create such things!"

Waving Sickle as if performing an ancient sacrificial dance, Feng Yuan made the purple slime creatures that had barely escaped the columns of fire engulfed once again. At this point, the purple slime creatures were too busy dodging the flames to launch any effective attacks on Mo Li and the others.

Hua Yiyou noticed that apart from the Guards, neither Mo Li nor Guo Huai showed any signs of surprise. He tapped his chin with Iron Ruler and said thoughtfully,

"It seems you are both quite aware of his abilities."

"But that’s also right, he must have told you about my purpose."

Noticing Hua Yiyou’s gaze, Mo Li nodded and said,

"He didn’t say, but I can guess. Hope you don’t mind."

With a slight smile, Hua Yiyou said,

"Choices are mutual, it seems you’ve recognized my capabilities."

Extending his hand with a smile towards Hua Yiyou, Mo Li said,

"Then what’s your choice?"

Grasping Mo Li’s hand, Hua Yiyou chuckled and replied,

"Is there any better choice at the moment?"

Gripping Hua Yiyou’s hand firmly, Mo Li said with a smile,

"Then I’ll be counting on you."

The two released their hands, and Mo Li turned to look at the raging dark fire columns, saying,

"You seem to have seen these things before?"

"They used similar tactics when they attacked our village."

While speaking, Hua Yiyou’s gaze swept toward Feng Yuan, who was still waving Sickle, and said,

"He was the one who helped us resolve the crisis."

"So you imply they are tough to deal with?"

Mo Li squinted at the purple slime creatures, pondering something, and Hua Yiyou waved his hand, unfurling his fan to cover his mouth and whispered,

"You should know the information about these things."

"I know? Indeed... If it’s that kind of creature..."

Muttering, Mo Li revealed a cold smile and said,

"Double front battle? They really are confident."

"It might not be a battle on two fronts. Although I’m not entirely sure what the Fifth Prince has done, their current primary target seems to be only him."

"Fifth Brother, eh... I’m not familiar with him. I don’t really know what exactly..."

"Anyone with a brain wouldn’t lay all their cards out in front of strangers."

"Strangers... Indeed..."

Mo Li said somewhat despondently, while Guo Huai, growing impatient with the dark flames, said,

"Isn’t it over yet?"

Closing his fan, Hua Yiyou calmly stated,

"This thing isn’t so easily dealt with."

"If you’re in a hurry, you can go back on your own. As his friend, I believe you have the ability to traverse this forest alone."

Guo Huai looked at Hua Yiyou curiously and asked,

"How do you know I’m his friend and not his subordinate?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, with a slight smile Hua Yiyou answered,

"He’s not one to willingly serve under others. Even if he does become someone’s subordinate, it’s merely a temporary strategy."

"And your relationship with him is good; even the prince didn’t borrow weapons from him."

Not understanding, Mo Li looked towards Hua Yiyou and said,

"Isn’t it that only one’s own weapons feel most familiar? Your reasoning is a bit..."

Hua Yiyou glanced at Longbow, which he had propped against a tree trunk, and said,

"This isn’t always the case. Some divine weapons cannot be compared to ordinary ones."

Mo Li, somewhat puzzled, walked over, picked up Longbow and, trying it, said in astonishment,

"This..."

"Should be a divine weapon. Although I don’t know its origins, it’s not simple. If possible, you really should foster a good relationship with him,"

suggested Hua Yiyou as he waved his opened fan across most of his face and added,

"I think he will be of great help to you, and moreover, I see that he’s not of a disagreeable nature."
