Chapter 40: The Tense Atmosphere (Please continue reading)

As soon as the other party entered the rock wall, Richard's lips curled into a cold smile. He knew you would hide here!

With a soft "thud," the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out!

In an instant, the tall figure leaped out of the rock wall again, but his abdomen had been pierced by a half-sword!

My steps are no longer as light, carefree, and relaxed as before!

"ποξδζτθυ" the other party seemed to growl through gritted teeth.

Because the other person was wearing a hood, Richard couldn't see their face clearly, but he was secretly amused, guessing that the other person's expression must be quite interesting.

"Huh! I don't understand any of this!"

do not care!

Richard had originally planned to take advantage of his illness to kill him, so regardless of whether he understood or not, he had no intention of showing any mercy!

Taking advantage of the opponent's stagger, Richard immediately fired three consecutive shots. The figure on the other side was still able to dodge with all his might, and with a twist of his body, he basically avoided vital organs, but was hit by another arrow in the arm.

Suddenly, something was thrown on the ground, and a thick smoke rose up. The other person's figure disappeared into the thick fog!

"Huh, you even brought smoke grenades! But if you manage to escape, then all my efforts will have been for nothing!" Richard immediately spared no effort and fired multiple shots in quick succession. The twelve arrows formed a large net, hitting different locations in the thick smoke area.

"Thud!" Sure enough, an arrow struck the opponent!

Now, the other party could no longer hold on and could barely stand! The thick smoke had also thinned considerably, and Richard could vaguely see the other party's tall and thin figure!

Richard immediately unleashed his trump card, casting [Secondary Mental Upgrade] on the figure. Instantly, an invisible mental energy cone shot straight towards the opponent's head!

The next moment, the opponent was stunned for a moment, and Richard seized the opportunity to add three more penetrating wounds to the opponent!

Now, the tall figure could no longer hold on and collapsed to her knees with a "thud!" slumped to the ground like a snake whose spine had been removed.

Richard wanted to go forward immediately to check, but suddenly his heart sank, and he dared not risk going forward. Instead, he controlled the gray-robed skeleton to go forward and check.

The skeleton slowly walked up and came to the other party's "corpse".

Suddenly, the "corpse" lying on the ground sprang up and, with all its might, plunged a dark dagger into the skeleton's body!

When he used all his strength to stab it in, he realized that the feeling in front of him was wrong. It didn't feel like piercing flesh. Instead, it felt very weak and unsupported!

Still wondering what was going on?

Richard was startled and immediately manipulated the skeleton to smash the other man's Adam's apple and groin. With a "crack" and the sound of something breaking, the other man fell to the ground again!

"Damn, this kid is really cunning. If I hadn't been more careful, I'd be crippled or dead!"

"Insidious!" At this moment, the other party finally realized that what had struck his Adam's apple was a bare white bone. Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side and he never moved again!

"Huh! They can speak the Common Language? What were they mumbling about just now?"

Richard was still uneasy, so he manipulated the skeleton to hammer the other party twice more. Seeing that it was indeed dead, he was relieved and went forward to check on it.

He was stunned at first glance!

Pointed ears, dark skin, and a handsome face!

This... this could be an elf? A dark-skinned elf, could it be a night elf, also called a drow elf? Richard finally matched the face in front of him with the common knowledge book he had just read a couple of days ago.

This is an intelligent being! Although Richard had killed so many monsters before, in his mind, it was no different from killing pigs or chickens. But now the other party was clearly a humanoid intelligent being, just like him, so he felt a moment of disorientation.

However, Richard quickly realized what was happening and glanced at the other team members who had died tragically. At that moment, his resolve grew even stronger!

If Richard used to be somewhat soft-hearted, his character has gradually begun to change after experiencing two consecutive killings.

Richard searched the body and found nothing of value except a dark plaque engraved with unfamiliar characters and two bottles of unknown medicine.

However, the giant bow caught Richard's attention!

Richard picked up the giant bow, which was at least 1.5 meters long, and it felt incredibly light, as if he were holding a short bow made of gray wood!

Richard tried it, and sure enough, even with all his strength, he could only pull the unusually taut bowstring six-tenths of the way open!

No wonder this bow can shoot such powerful arrows!

Four people died this time. Going back empty-handed is definitely not an option. We can't explain it to the Ignis School's security department!

Recalling the last time Nicklo died, he and Senior Sister Meiluo went to the school's security office to give statements for quite a while, but this time, he was all alone, without even a witness!

Without hesitation, Richard chopped off the elf's head with a single stroke and carefully wrapped it with strips of cloth!

With the head, the nameplate, and the giant bow as evidence, he could basically explain to the school what had happened.

The recording crystal used for the school's mission was with Stephena, but it hadn't been used since before she performed that strange ritual, so forget about any video footage or other evidence to prove it!

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from all directions.

Richard immediately realized that the spiders coming to his aid from all directions had arrived, so he turned around and ran towards the passage, but after only two steps, he immediately turned back and ran towards the center of the field!

It turns out that Richard's target was that mysterious white egg!

Li realized that he should still take it, because the fact that Stephania spent so many magic stones and effort to organize a small team and try to hatch it as soon as possible was enough to prove that it was very valuable!

So Richard's idea was simple: even if he didn't need it, he could sell it and exchange it for potions or other things to improve his strength.

He grabbed the already dull white egg and stuffed it into his arms. With the help of the Elegance of the Wind potion, Richard sped towards the passage!

But this round trip took a lot of time, and in a short time, Richard encountered three groups of spiders led by crystal web spiders.

On a whim, Richard immediately manipulated the skeleton to either kill or defend!

In the end, Richard used the skull as bait and managed to escape the cave before being completely blocked by the spider swarm!

Once out of the cave, Richard didn't dare to linger for a moment. Without hesitation, he continued running towards the school's headquarters, while maintaining high concentration, observing both sides for fear of being ambushed by monsters.

Half a day later, Richard, who had a close call with the school, finally returned to the school's headquarters, exhausted.

When Richard returned to the school, he took the initiative to report the whole incident to the school's security department as required. However, he still kept one thing in mind and asked a freshman he met when he entered to pass on a message to Senior Sister Meiluo.

The two level-two wizard apprentices on duty at the security office were utterly horrified when they saw the night elf head Richard had produced. This instantly made Richard realize that the seriousness of the matter was probably much greater than he had anticipated!

Immediately, one of the apprentices staggered and ran to report to his superiors, breaking two tables and chairs along the way!
