Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

A whooshing sound suddenly erupted from the endless darkness and ruins below without warning.

Chapter 281 Light Arrow

The sound was so fast that there was no time to think; it was as if even the air itself was torn apart by some terrifying force in that instant.

Everyone felt a sudden blur before their eyes, and a black shadow, whose outline was completely indistinct and only a blurry afterimage remained, shot directly into the sky from the depths of the dilapidated teaching building below.

The black shadow was moving so fast that it defied all logic.

In just a fraction of a blink of an eye, the figure, carrying a chilling aura and a strong, fishy smell, had already broken through the hundreds of meters in mid-air and was about to arrive in front of Xu Tian's face.

"Such a fast speed."

Xu Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

He didn't have time to think about what it was; his body's instincts acted before his brain could process it.

Xu Tian gripped his mount tightly with both legs and immediately controlled the Ice Shadow Eagle, which had reached level 40, to perform a dangerous side somersault in mid-air.

"Shh!"

The dark shadow carrying terrifying power barely grazed the Ice Shadow Eagle's icy blue wings as it flew past.

Xu Tian quickly steadied himself in mid-air, then hurriedly turned his head and stared intently at the void in the direction the black shadow had rushed past.

However, what was incredibly chilling was that it was completely empty.

There was nothing in the sky anymore. The terrifying black shadow that had almost hit him seemed to have evaporated into thin air, completely disappearing into the dimly lit dungeon space.

At this moment, Xu Tian was still in shock from this bizarre situation.

"boom!"

A muffled thud suddenly came from the air not far away.

"what!"

A gasp came from the team channel.

Winter, who was hovering in mid-air, ready to throw explosives with Xu Tian, ​​suddenly seemed to have been hit.

His massive body was knocked off the pet's back and fell uncontrollably into the ruins below.

Fortunately, having learned from his previous experience on the rooftop, he quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air and used the blocks to cushion his fall, thus avoiding a fatal crash. However, he was still left in a sorry state by this sudden and bizarre attack.

At this moment, Xu Tian looked down from his high vantage point, his brows furrowed tightly, his heart filled with doubt and solemnity.

"What on earth is going on? Is this just a visual illusion caused by absolute speed, or is this monster not only abnormally fast, but also possesses the same invisibility ability as the monsters on the rooftop before?"

Xu Tian's brain was racing, frantically analyzing the current battle situation.

He glanced at the direction where winter had fallen, and then recalled the dark figure that had attacked him earlier.

He remembered clearly that there was a distance of nearly 100 meters between himself and winter in mid-air.

After his attack failed and was dodged by his control of the Ice Shadow Eagle, the unknown monster managed to escape in the tiny gap before he could even turn his head to check.

It covered a distance of over a hundred meters and hit winter with perfect accuracy.

"To be able to react so quickly and launch such a wide-ranging attack..."

Xu Tian took a deep breath.

"It seems that this cannot be explained simply by speed. This boss hidden in the shadows must have perfect stealth, coupled with its super high movement speed. The combination of these two factors has led to our current situation of being completely on the defensive."

Then, Xu Tian glanced at the majestic Ice Shadow Eagle beneath him and sighed helplessly.

Although the Ice Shadow Eagle's Frost Tide Domain covers a vast area and its control ability is considered divine, it also has a fatal flaw: the spread of the cold air takes time.

Faced with such a top-tier assassin who moves as fast as lightning, can instantly escape if a strike misses, and is constantly moving at high speed in all directions.

Even if the domain is activated now, the speed at which the cold air spreads is probably not enough to keep up with the opponent's pace, and it would only waste the pet's skill cooldown time.

"Since a wide-range magical cleansing can't catch you, I'll have to resort to some old-fashioned methods."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Tian. He thought of a special item that, although uncommon in this blocky world, could have miraculous effects under certain circumstances.

Without any hesitation, Xu Tian immediately focused his consciousness into his backpack, quickly rummaging through a pile of messy rare materials.

Soon, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and he took out a neat set of arrows that emitted a faint fluorescent glow from his backpack.

This is the Light Spirit Arrow.

These arrows themselves don't have much killing power, nor do they have any armor-piercing or explosive effects, but they do have a unique mechanic that is unique in the entire game.

Any creature struck by the Light Arrow, even if it only scratches the skin, will be forcibly subjected to a state called "glowing" for the next ten seconds.

This state will create a dazzling outline around the target's body that cannot be concealed by any stealth skill.

At this moment, Xu Tian was not stingy at all. He swung his arm and divided the set of Light Spirit Arrows in his hand into three parts, throwing them precisely to the wind and snow below, the winter that had just climbed back up, and the summer not far away.

At this moment, everyone reached out and steadily caught the faintly glowing arrows thrown by the captain. Looking at the strangely shaped props in their hands, with some kind of glowing powder on the arrowheads, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you going to do with this? We can't even catch a glimpse of the monster, are you going to shoot arrows at thin air?"

He asked, completely bewildered, in winter.

Xu Tian immediately said in the team channel.

"Do not nock this arrow and shoot it. Now, immediately turn this arrow upside down and place it densely, or rather, stick it into various parts of your own bodies."

"Especially the arms, back, and shoulders—areas with large vulnerable areas—make sure that no matter which blind spot the invisible monster attacks from, as long as it dares to get close and attack any part of your body, it will inevitably be hit or grazed by this Light Spirit Arrow."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's command, everyone was slightly taken aback at first. Then, looking at the glowing arrow in their hands, a flash of insight struck them, and they instantly understood the true hidden function of the Light Spirit Arrow.

"Holy crap, Captain, your thought process is absolutely amazing."

Winter couldn't help but swear, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Are you trying to use our own bodies as bait to force him to be marked by the Light Arrow?"

Chapter 282 Got you?

Feng Xue's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in admiration.

"Since this monster is fast, can turn invisible, and hasn't used any ranged attacks, it will definitely hit these light arrows whenever it attacks us. Brilliant!"

Everyone nodded without hesitation and immediately began to execute Xu Tian's tactics.

They took the Light Arrows and began frantically stabbing and pulling them into the gaps in their heavy armor and even into their cloaks.

In the tense atmosphere, within ten seconds, everyone was made to look ridiculous, like a hedgehog covered in shiny spikes.

From the top of the helmet to the sides of the shoulders, and then to the back and legs, the body was densely covered with glowing light arrows.

At this moment, Xu Tian was also covered in arrows. He looked around to make sure everyone was fully armed, and then said in a deep voice.

"Very good, preparations complete. In the sky, we are passive sitting ducks. Now let's go down and land on that open playground. Stand back to back and no one should move. Let him come to us on his own."

"understand".

Then, the four of them put away their flying pets and jumped down the outer wall of the teaching building towards the playground below.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four dull thuds echoed as the four landed steadily in the center of the abandoned playground filled with the monster's corpses.

After landing, the four immediately followed the tactical plan, standing back to back in a tight circle, forming a perfect circle with no blind spots. They stood still, quietly waiting for their prey to arrive.

Meanwhile, in Xu Tian's live stream room, which was always open.

Those casual gamers who were initially engrossed in watching this challenging raid and anticipating an epic battle were immediately met with puzzled comments as they watched the sudden change in the scene on their screens.

What happened? Why did the top player suddenly jump down from the sky and stop moving? Did the game headset glitch?

[Yeah, yeah, why are all four of them standing there like statues? Did the server crash again?]

[Are you cloud-eating players ahead? The server is lagging, and those monster corpses are still floating in the wind? Didn't you see those glowing things stuck in their bodies?]

That's a special item called the Light Arrow. Targets hit or touched by it will be forcibly marked with a highlighted outline. Tianxia is using his own body as bait to lure the unseen monster on the other side to attack.

[Holy crap, so that's how it is! No wonder I ended up prickly as a hedgehog!]

[The combat intelligence and adaptability of this top player are truly impressive. Indeed, if this monster wants to kill, it needs to get close. As long as the monster punches this Light Spirit Arrow, it will be 100% exposed.]

[Wow, is that even possible? I've learned something new! I'm going to go and fill myself with arrows and try to catch the invisible monster.]

Ignoring the buzzing comments in the live stream, Xu Tian and his three companions on the playground held their breath and focused all their attention on their hearing and intuition.

Soon, time passed by, minute by minute, in this desolate, abandoned campus.

suddenly!

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

A loud sprinting sound suddenly rang out from directly behind Xu Tian.

Xu Tian clearly heard and sensed that something was coming from behind him.

However, the opponent was simply too fast.

Even though Xu Tian had prepared himself mentally and his muscles were already tense, he was still shaken.

"boom!"

Instantly, Xu Tian felt an enormous fist slam solidly into the thick armor on his back.

An overwhelming force surged forth.

Xu Tian's health bar dropped sharply, and then he was blasted backward by the enormous force.

"Brother Tian".

Feng Xue and the others exclaimed in surprise.

However, Xu Tian, ​​who was flying upside down in mid-air, showed no sign of panic.

He forcefully twisted his waist and abdomen in mid-air, turned his head sharply, and looked behind him in the direction from which the force came.

In the center of the previously empty playground, he discovered a truly awe-inspiring sight behind him.

The hunter hidden in the darkness, with his powerful punch that struck Xu Tian's back, inevitably shattered the dozen or so light spirit arrows embedded in Xu Tian's back.

Instantly, a terrifying creature several meters tall and enormous was struck and marked by the fluorescent light of the Light Spirit Arrow.
