On the fourth level of Tree Shade City, a group moved at an extremely fast pace. (Google search reading)

The team consisted of only nine people, six men and three women. Among them was Kidman, the silver-haired vice-commander of the Dragon Riders, accompanied by Zanpu, who sported a mohawk.

Besides the two of them, there were two other well-equipped male adventurers, each wearing a badge of the Mad Dragon class on their chests.

These four men were following behind a tall man wielding a chain hammer.

The one who could make so many experts willingly follow him was naturally Ryan, the leader of the largest guild in Tree Shade City, the Dragon Knight Adventurer Guild.

Beside the five members of the Dragon Riders, there was another group of four, led by a beautiful blonde woman holding a magnificent staff. Behind her followed two women and a man. One of the couples appeared to be lovers; the woman was a petite forest elf carrying a bow and arrow, while the man had an Eastern face, a tall and handsome figure, and a longsword at his waist.

As for the last woman, she was tall and aloof, with mechanical legs below her hips that moved quickly, though a faint mechanical whirring could be heard.

These four individuals all wore the insignia of the Mad Dragon rank. They belonged to the Red Moon Adventurer Group, a grand adventurer group second only to the Dragon Knights. The leader, a blonde female mage named Jessica, was a Life Archmage. The forest elf was named Violet, nicknamed the Spirit Hunter, an excellent archer. The Eastern man was her boyfriend, Xun Yiming, a powerful and mysterious swordsman. As for the aloof beauty with the mechanical leg, she was named Jueying, a formidable scout.

When Kidman reported the situation to Lane, the Grand Master was with Jessica, the leader of the Red Moon Grand Master.

The two were actually husband and wife; even Kidman's position as vice-captain was originally Jessica's. However, they later had a falling out and divorced. Jessica left the group and started her own all-female adventure team, which became the Red Moon crew we know today.

However, it is said that after the World Tree Fruit quest a year ago, the relationship between the two has eased, and recently there seems to be a plan to reconcile. There are even rumors that the two major groups are inclined to merge.

Regardless of the truth of the rumors, the Dragon Knights and the Red Moon Order do indeed have a close relationship now, and they have completed many high-difficulty missions together. Upon hearing that someone was challenging the fifth floor's boss, they didn't bother to gather their own forces; several elite members from both orders rushed over immediately.

Each layer of the World Tree's canopy is connected only by the central trunk. Normally, one would climb up from the trunk, but because the fifth layer is entirely a large lake with a sealed lakebed near the trunk, one can only ascend from the edge.

To facilitate adventurers' movement, the guild built several cableways at the edge of the fourth floor, connecting to the lakeside on the fifth floor. Adventurers can use the cableway-pulled gondolas to go directly to the fifth floor.

The group soon arrived at a cable car. The cable car was made of the vines of the World Tree, which was tough and thick. The cabin was like a large bus lying there, and it could fit not only nine people, but also ninety people.

However, for most adventurers, reaching the fourth floor is a major hurdle, so this cable car is not used very frequently.

The group entered the elevator car, and Jessica channeled her magic into the device. Soon, the cable car started operating, pulling them towards the fifth floor.

"You mean that guy's already up there? Is he really as good as you guys say?"

Xun Yiming, the swordsman from the East, was very curious about this "hunter". He came from the mysterious Hermit Island and had extremely high talent since childhood. He became a first-class master at a young age. After going out to train, he had many adventures. Apart from the King of Adventurers who picked the fruit of the World Tree, he had never really admired anyone.

Everyone looked at Zanpu, after all, he was the only one who had ever seen Zhang Lang in action.

"Let me put it this way..." Zanpu cleared his throat, "Compared to you all, my strength may be so-so, but when it comes to discernment, I've never been inferior to anyone."

"I haven't seen the Martial God of the Eastern Great Zhou, and I'm not exactly a professional in magic, but speaking purely of martial prowess, among all the people I've seen fight, the only one stronger than that hunter is probably the King of Adventurers!"

The group gasped in shock. Zanpu continued, "Of course, the hunter only killed one Demon Tiger Armor in an instant. I reckon he wasn't even using his full strength. So, judging from that..."

"A master comparable to Old Zhao?" Xun Yiming's shock turned to excitement: "I really want to see for myself!"

As they spoke, the sedan chair arrived at the fifth floor. After everyone got off, they began to search for the hunter's figure along the lake.

The group consisted of top-notch experts with impressive speed and, with the assistance of Kidman, an elemental mage, who provided wind magic, it wouldn't take them long to circle the fifth floor.

"Look, there it is!"

The first to spot the target was the sharp-eyed Zanpu. Following his pointing finger, everyone saw a tall man standing motionless on a thick tree branch protruding from the water in the middle of the lake, his eyes fixed on the surface.

"What is he doing?" Ryan frowned. "The water in the World Tree's lake is invisible to the naked eye!"

"He's fishing!" Jessica pointed to the lake surface a few dozen meters in front of Zhang Lang, where a white thing was floating with a thin black stick stuck in it.

"It's shrimp meat," Zanpu recognized it. "That's the meat of a high-backed lobster, and the arrow stuck in it is a hunter's arrow. That guy's bow and arrows are enchanted weapons; the arrows can be retrieved after being fired. He must have used that ability to replace the sling!"

"Trying to hook the original poster?" Xun Yiming chuckled. "That's a pretty creative idea. I'll go check it out!"

As he spoke, the man picked up his longsword and was about to move forward. Although there was a lake several hundred meters away, as an expert from the East, walking on water was just a basic skill for him.

But before he could even take a step, a black beam shot out and struck right under his feet.

"It's a hunter's arrow; he's warning us not to come any closer!" Zanpu seemed somewhat afraid of Zhang Lang. "Why don't we just watch from here..."

Xun Yiming frowned slightly and nodded: "Indeed, it's not simple."

"This scares you?" The speaker was one of Ryan's subordinates, a Berserker-level adventurer named Rachel, a skilled swordsman who always wanted to test his skills against Xun Yiming, but was always outmatched. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to mock him.

"This arrow is indeed quite fast. I estimate the bow's draw weight to be around two thousand pounds, but that's about it... It's not surprising that a fourth-tier warrior can use this kind of bow."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xun Yiming's girlfriend, the forest elf Violet: "Miss Violet is an expert with a bow, am I right?"

Violet scoffed, "Your calculations are fairly accurate, but do you think Armin only saw the arrow's speed?"

Rachel paused, then frowned slightly. "What else?"

"The maximum speed of an arrow depends on the bow..." Violet looked at Zhang Lang, who remained motionless, staring at the lake in the distance, "but the speed at which the bow is drawn depends on the person!"

"Just now, did anyone see clearly how he drew the bow?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Zanpu nodded, "It was the same in the Shadowlands. This guy's attacks are frighteningly fast. Before we could even react, the battle was over!"

"This arrow is far from his limit, isn't it?" Dragon Knight Commander Ryan took a deep breath. "Let's just stay here and watch him perform!"
