37: I, Wang Chen, would like to call you Langmie!

“What should I do?”

Wang Chen touched his nose, silently pondering as he watched the approaching light in the distance.

At this moment, changing campsites was definitely unrealistic.

It was almost completely dark, and wandering around the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range at this time was akin to dancing on a knife's edge.

But if they didn't move, those guys coming over from a distance would likely bring trouble again.

After all, in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, the only thing any Awakener could truly trust was their own weapon; everyone else, including companions, had to be regarded with caution.

As he silently pondered, Wang Chen gradually made a decision.

“Let’s wait and see the situation first. If they’re just ordinary Awakeners adventuring in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, we’ll ignore them.”

“If not, then prepare for battle.”

He turned his head and said to Situ Yu.

Hearing this, the girl was a little nervous.

“Wouldn’t that be bad?”

Situ Yu hesitated and said, “Although there are no laws in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, we can’t just kill people casually, can we?”

“…”

Wang Chen looked at Situ Yu with a strange expression, appearing very unsettled.

I just said ‘battle’, and you’re talking about ‘killing people’?

Tsk tsk!

Oh, girl!

Your perspective is truly broad!

I, Wang Chen, am willing to call you a ruthless one.

“What’s wrong?”

Situ Yu was a little confused, being stared at by Wang Chen.

“Nothing!”

Seeing that the girl didn't find anything inappropriate about her words, Wang Chen shook his head, turned to look into the distance, and said nothing more.

This woman is too ruthless; I must offend her less in the future.

…

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

The Hyena Squad, a group of four, walked heavily through the jungle.

“Boss, there are people in the trees ahead.”

Just then, the third member of the squad suddenly stopped.

He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then said excitedly, “There are two of them, they should be those two fat sheep!”

Hearing his words, the other two simultaneously looked at Hyena Boss.

They had no doubt about the third member's words; after all, as a Level 40 Druid, he could already communicate a little with the plants in the forest.

“Boss, what do we do now? Do we just charge up and kill them?”

The second member, an Assassin Awakener, licked his lips and asked excitedly.

“No!”

Hearing this, Hyena Boss shook his head, a cunning look flashing across his face.

“These two kids were able to deal with so many Fallen Ones before, so they must have powerful equipment in their hands, and definitely no shortage of magic skill scrolls.”

“We’ll approach them first and greet them, then try to catch them off guard and take them out.”

“Third member, you go into stealth immediately. Wait for my command to act.”

Looking around at his three teammates, Hyena Boss instructed.

“Okay, Boss is brilliant!”

The three around him nodded, and the second member, without another word, shimmered and disappeared.

If one observed carefully, a faint outline could be seen in the shadows on the ground.

“Move out!”

Seeing this, Hyena Boss did not hesitate and immediately strode towards the target direction.

Soon.

The three of them arrived at the base of the large tree where Wang Chen and Situ Yu were located.

Upon reaching here, Hyena Boss waved his hand, and the group stopped.

“Friends in the tree, it’s getting dark. Do you mind if we set up camp nearby?”

He looked at the shadows in the big tree and called out loudly.

In the tree.

Wang Chen's eyes flashed with a strange look upon hearing this.

When did these guys discover him and Situ Yu?

Thinking to himself, he cautiously poked his head out of the tree and looked at the three below: “Sorry, it’s not very convenient. You’d better find another place.”

Hearing his words, Hyena Third and Fourth members' faces flushed with anger, about to retort.

However, at this moment, a large hand clapped their shoulders; it was Hyena Boss.

“Understandable. In a place like the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, a little more vigilance might just save your life.”

As he spoke, his gaze constantly lingered on Wang Chen’s handsome face, and intense greed welled up in his eyes.

Masculine, handsome…

He’s my type!

Hyena Boss stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

At the same time, he subtly wiggled his fingers, giving the second member a command.

On the other side.

Being stared at with that gaze, Wang Chen felt a chill shoot from his tailbone straight to his brain.

Good heavens!

You're not right!

“Since you understand, that’s great. Please leave and don’t let the door hit you on the way out!”

However, Wang Chen was not a bloodthirsty person after all. He silently gripped his long sword and issued an eviction notice.

Yet, just as he finished speaking, a strong sense of threat suddenly arose in his heart.

Whoosh!

The next second, a violent whooshing sound rang in his ears.

…

When Hyena Boss gave the command to attack, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the base of the big tree. He moved up the tree like a snake, silently and lightning-fast, rushing to Wang Chen’s side.

“This kid is really handsome. Looks like I’ll have to leave him a complete corpse, otherwise Boss will scold me again!”

This dark shadow was the second member of the Hyena Squad. He held a dagger, and a hint of regret was in his cold eyes.

The skill he used at this moment was the Assassin’s exclusive skill from the first advancement, Shadow Ambush!

It allowed him to silently approach his target through shadows and then deliver a fatal blow.

In just a few breaths, Hyena Second approached Wang Chen.

When he saw Wang Chen opening his mouth to speak, with his attention entirely on the Boss, a cold light flashed in his icy eyes.

“Good opportunity!”

Without hesitation, he suddenly leaped out of the shadows, his dagger striking towards Wang Chen’s chest like a venomous snake.

After launching the attack, Hyena Second’s expression was somewhat excited.

He was already impatient to feel the wonderful sensation of a dagger piercing into a human body.

However.

Just as the dagger in his hand was about to hit its target, his pupils suddenly constricted.

…

Whoosh!

A violent gust of wind sounded in his ears.

Wang Chen was startled. At this moment, he had no time to think and instinctively swung his sword.

To increase its power, he even directly used a skill.

Instant Sword!!

Swish!

A fierce whooshing sound echoed as Wang Chen’s long sword struck out as if teleporting.

Hyena Second, who was about to succeed, his pupils constricted.

A rapidly descending long sword appeared in his field of vision.

The next second.

Clang!

A violent clang of metal on metal rang out, and dazzling sparks erupted from the collision of the two weapons.

Using the suddenly bright light, Wang Chen clearly saw the appearance of the attacker.

In an instant, a peculiar look flashed in his eyes.

And on the other side.

“Damn it!”

“How can this guy’s speed be so fast?”

Just as surprise managed to surface in his mind, Hyena Third felt a powerful force emanating from the descending long sword.

Being in mid-air, he had nowhere to dissipate the force, and he was directly sent flying.
