Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 246 Archers
Ji Fuyou, the leader of the Rainbow City team, had witnessed their strength.

Strictly speaking, they are not as good as them.

Since the Rainbow Sun City team was able to retreat after exploring Blood Moon Canyon, they could naturally do the same.

and……

He was different from the members of the Rainbow City team.

They only went to the outer perimeter of Blood Moon Canyon to search for the Snowmen of the Snowfield, and would not actually go deep into Blood Moon Canyon, so their safety was undoubtedly well guaranteed.

At that moment, the group headed towards Blood Moon Canyon, a place they had never been before.

The outer perimeter of Blood Moon Canyon is shrouded in dense jungle.

The closer you get to the jungle, the weaker the influence of the bright sunlight becomes.

As we approached the jungle on the outskirts of the canyon, the effects of the daylight decreased by at least 20-30%.

Because there was no sunlight to suppress it, Ji Fuyou could still sense the dangers hidden in the jungle even before he entered it.

"Captain, it seems... this jungle is the gathering point for the monsters when they leave Blood Moon Canyon. They will use the dense trees as cover to gather, and then march at full speed, resisting the sunlight, to rush to the foot of Rainbow Sun City. With a do-or-die determination, they will either break through Rainbow Sun City or die under its walls."

Liu Yiren observed for a moment before speaking.

Ji Fuyou nodded, agreeing with this statement.

He glanced once more into the jungle…

There are definitely far more mutated tarantulas in this jungle than in other areas.

There may even be other mutated spider species.

He personally, however, was not afraid.

but……

If they encounter danger, Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, and others may not be able to escape unscathed.

"It seems that this area is indeed not something we can easily break into right now. Let's try to challenge Blood Moon Canyon after our equipment and strength have improved, and we even become a Martial Saint team."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he made a hand gesture.

The group abandoned their plan to enter the jungle.

But at that moment, from another direction, a figure gradually emerged from the mist.

Despite the figure's disguise as a strange beast, the group immediately recognized it as the Snowman they were looking for, thanks to their Mind's Eye.

This coincidence surprised everyone slightly.

Immediately afterward, Ji Fuyou gave the order without hesitation: "Attack!"

The next moment, he focused his mind, transforming it into sword intent, which, along with his strength, was poured into the Wuji Sword and shot towards the Snowman of the Snowfield.

While using the Wuji Sword to interfere with the Snowmen of the Snowfield, he simultaneously activated his Overlord True Body and Heavenly Demon Disintegration, his figure resembling a cannonball that crashed through the fog.

As for the protective force field...

He had already started the process as he approached the jungle.

Ji Fuyou charged headlong into the Snowman of the Snowfield, while the others...

Without needing further command from him, the four of them had already formed a formation and were closely guarding Ji Fuyou's perimeter, ensuring that if any mutated tarantulas appeared, they could intercept them immediately if other spiders surrounded them, so as not to interfere with Ji Fuyou's battle with the Snowman.

"Oh!"

Ji Fuyou, charging at full speed as if he were invincible, suddenly collided with the snowmen of the snowy region.

Having learned from the previous example of the Snowman, Ji Fuyou's attack was not the Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi, but the Crescent Moon Blade Qi.

The Crescent Moon Blade's damage is relatively low, but when the two forces collide, it can control the dissipating energy to tear and cut the Snowman's body, ripping off his outer layer of disguise.

Once the disguise is gone, he will be directly exposed to the bright sunlight.

In this way, even minor injuries can cause him several times, ten times, or even more than ten times the damage.

"Roar!"

The snowman instantly realized its disadvantage and uttered a syllable that Ji Fuyou could not understand. After fighting back and forcing Ji Fuyou to retreat, it moved and rushed straight towards the dense forest.

They clearly wanted to use the dense forest to block out the sunlight.

However, his speed was clearly inferior to Ji Fuyou's.

Relying on his Overlord True Form to dominate the world, combined with the Crescent Moon Blade Aura, the Snowman's wounds rapidly multiplied.

During this time, the Snowman of the Snowfield also risked being exposed to the sunlight to unleash his cold power and fight back. However, the force he unleashed was weakened by the sunlight, and Ji Fuyou, who was exposed to the deflecting force field, was not afraid at all.

Under these circumstances, the Snowman charged into the jungle for hundreds of meters before finally running out of steam and was brutally killed by Ji Fuyou.

After slaying the Snowman, Ji Fuyou didn't pause at all and quickly picked up the purple Body Source Crystal and the green gem that had also fallen from his body.

"Squeak!"

At this time, many calls could be heard coming from the depths of the jungle.

The entire jungle seemed to awaken from a deep sleep, exuding an unsettling aura.

Ji Fuyou could see not only a considerable number of mutated tarantulas, but also a completely new species with sharp fangs.

"go!"

Ji Fuyou gave the order.

The others also left without hesitation, at full speed.

Just then, Liu Yiren seemed to notice something and suddenly said, "Someone's here."

Upon hearing her voice, Ji Fuyou scanned the area with his mind, and soon, a figure wearing orange leather armor and carrying a bow and arrows appeared in his field of vision.

There really is someone there!?
"People from Rainbow Sun City?"

Ji Fuyou quickly connected the dots to that force.

soon……

He felt something was wrong again.

The figure's eyes were unfocused, like a walking corpse, filled with numbness and sluggishness.

In particular, there were mutated wolf spiders not far from him, but the mutated wolf spiders did not attack him.

Instead, upon seeing the group, he immediately drew his arrow and bent his longbow...

"careful!"

Ji Fuyou gave a low shout. The next moment, his figure shot forward to block the way.

"call out!"

The arrow pierced the sky!

With a sharp whistling sound that tore through the mist, the arrow struck Ji Fuyou, who was charging forward, and was deflected to the ground by the deflection field on his body.

Although the deflection field blocked the arrow, the force contained in the arrow still made him sway.

"This damage... is probably around 4 or 50 points!"

In other words, apart from him, no one in their team could stop him.

"You guys retreat first!"

Ji Fuyou let out a low shout.

This monster is armed with a bow and arrow, making it a ranged attacker. If everyone retreats without regard for the consequences, he'll be alright, but the others will become easy targets.

That's why, even though there were quite a few mutated spiders ahead, he still charged forward without hesitation, heading straight for the figure with the bow.

"Squeak!"

As Ji Fuyou rushed toward the figure, the mutated wolf spiders beside him, as well as the mutated spiders with sharp teeth, all pounced on him.

These spiders individually posed little threat to him, but their sheer number was overwhelming, especially...

"call out!"

An arrow flew!

With the archery skills of that figure keeping him occupied, there was a strong possibility that he would be surrounded by these monsters.

"team leader!"

This scene made Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, Xiao Hanxue and others anxious.

“We’ll hold off these spiders for you, you go and deal with that delirious archer.”

Yang Kaitai immediately replied.

As Ji Fuyou heard the increasing hissing of mutated spiders coming from the depths of the jungle, he realized that if they didn't make a decision soon, their group would likely be trapped here.

He could use the teleportation ability to leave, but what about the others...?

Who can guarantee that these mutated spiders and that archer won't chase them out of this dense jungle?
"it is good!"

Ji Fuyou responded with a nod, bent his feet slightly, and in the next moment, he unleashed his power, leaping into the air and quickly flying out of the encirclement of spiders.

"call out!"

Arrows came flying.

But Ji Fuyou, who was prepared, had already used the Wuji Sword to intercept the arrow, shattering it in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the flying sword pierced the air and continued its trajectory toward the archer with undiminished force.

However, the flying sword, which had always been invincible, seemed to have lost its power at this moment.

This archer seemed to possess an incredible sense of perception, and his movements were unbelievably agile.

He dodged the shattered arrows and the slower-moving flying sword with a leap, then flashed away, creating distance. The speed he displayed in that instant was astonishing...

He could probably be compared to the cult leader Fengwo.

"That speed!?"

Ji Fuyou's heart sank immediately.

How do you fight against someone with the speed of a Fiery Master?
Even Ji Fuyou felt helpless, let alone Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, Xiao Hanxue and others.

The situation becomes increasingly perilous as more and more mutated spiders emerge from the depths of the jungle.

But at that moment, Liu Yiren seemed to have discovered something: "Captain, that archer is human, but he seems to have been corrupted by some kind of force, causing him to lose his mind..."

"You mean... he was corrupted and controlled by a mysterious force... or rather, the power of the Blood Moon Demon King?"

Ji Fuyou quickly understood her meaning: "But none of us have learned purification techniques..."

"I'll try the Beast Taming Technique!"

After Liu Yiren finished speaking, she strode forward.

His spirit, which had already reached the divine level, emanated from him and instantly resonated with the archer.

At that moment, the archer, who was about to continue drawing his bow and shooting, suddenly stopped, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

efficient!?
This scene caught Ji Fuyou's eye.

Beast Taming is a mysterious art that allows one to communicate with, establish connections with, and even control exotic beasts. Theoretically, it is only effective against exotic beasts that are intellectually deficient and easily driven by instinct.

Humans are highly intelligent life forms, yet they somehow managed to influence this archer in such a bizarre way...

"Ah!"

As Liu Yiren continued to use her beast-taming technique, the archer let out a painful roar.

This pain compelled him to bend his bow and shoot again, but...

This time, however, the target of the attack was no longer Ji Fuyou.

Instead, they were the mutated spiders that were closest to them.

Judging from his appearance...

It was clearly engulfed in a rage, attacking anything in its path.

"It's okay, it's okay... it's all over..."

Liu Yiren's spiritual energy continued to emanate, constantly establishing a connection with the archer whose mind was being corrupted, and her figure was getting closer and closer to the archer...

"Be careful……"

Ji Fuyou reminded him.

Liu Yiren gave him a reassuring look and gradually approached the archer's side.

As she drew closer, the frenzied archer calmed down again, and gradually, the pain in his eyes faded, replaced by emptiness and bewilderment.

This scene left not only Ji Fuyou speechless, but also Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, and Xiao Hanxue with disbelief.
