Of course, there was more to the sneak attack from the shadows than just the arrow that had hit the guard's side face a second earlier.

The veteran adventurers of the three regiments of Oyama Copper, Shaving, and Hummingbird quickly maintained their combat discipline, but the few dozen or so guards on the scene were in a state of panic like the helpless scattered adventurers when they lost their command for a while.

The attacking enemy then poked out their crossbows from the shadows of the trees that served as cover around them, and slightly raised the angle of the projectile to make up for a full shot at the adventurers. The swishing sounds made a deadly arc in the air, knocking down a group of adventurers and guards on the outskirts of the clearing in Logging Village, some of whom were pierced through the throat by the sharp end of the arrow on the spot, and their pupils dilated and lay on the ground, most of them not survive.

Many of the hapless fellows were scattered adventurers who didn't belong to any of the group, and one of them, a thin dwarf mage, was snapped back and nailed to the leg of another adventurer behind him by a ferocious crossbow bolt piercing the head.

With the god of magic Majik on top, this unknown dwarf apprentice of magic is actually just one step away from becoming a full-fledged mage, but unfortunately his story is never known again with the call of death, except for the human warrior companion who hangs from his lap behind him.

"Damn bastards! You killed my friends! The warrior let out a tearful roar, and in anger, ignoring the sharp pain in his leg, he forcibly threw a one-handed battle axe in his hand as a larger throwing axe.

The tomahawk he threw swirled into the darkness not far away, and soon a muffled creature snort echoed. His luck didn't seem to be bad, but he lost his weapons and his limited risk funds didn't allow him to have a spare weapon.

A village guard with a halberd next to him noticed his predicament in time, and hurriedly took off the spare long sword from his waist and threw it at him, shouting, "Catch it!" ”

"Thanks!" The adventurer warrior, who also had an arrow and a dwarf corpse pinned to his leg, gratefully raised his hand to catch the sword, only to be followed by a second round of enemy fire. The equally unknown warrior adventurer was caught off guard by several arrows, and his chin was raised and he fell backwards.

With the sacrifice of the first group, Carlos Loew, the bearded mage leader, under the cover of the shields of several shield warrior companions around him, decisively twisted a small handful of mica powder from his waist bag as a spell casting material, opened and closed his mouth to match the movements of his hands to perform a spell chanting, and then pointed the staff in his hand towards the distance in front of the Oyama Bronze Adventure Group, and countless particles of light shining with blinding white light immediately descended on the place designated by him, illuminating a large area of trees there.

The effect of this spell is even more significant than the Ring 0's Plastic Energy Apprentice spell "Flash", which is called "Flash Dust".

Mage 2 Ring Spell - Glitter Dust (Spell System): Summons shining particles of light to cover the target area, blinding multiple target creatures affected by the spell and exposing them to stealth in the spell area.

Castaño's mages can choose one of the eight schools of magic knowledge, and the bearded mage leader is a spell master, so the Flashdust spells that belong to the spell school will receive an additional 2 cast level in his hands.

The fierce glare suddenly succeeded in exposing several crossbowmen who subconsciously raised their arms to protect their eyes from the bushes that his staff was aiming at, making him immediately realize that the enemy attacking everyone at this moment was indeed not the demonic beasts in the forest, but a group of unidentified humans!

There were also several mage members in the teams of Shaving Blade and Hummingbird, and those spellcasters with a lower overall level than Carlos were also casting 0 rings of "Dancing Light" or "Light Magic" under the command of each group leader to illuminate the surrounding area, allowing everyone to find out the location and general number of enemies.

The enemy's formation was roughly divided into four squadrons, which surrounded the clearing of the logging village from four directions around it, and the total number of people was roughly the same as before the adventurers present were reduced.

The perspective of the scene pulls back to where the five members of the team are-

The orc monk named Stonefist fulfilled his promise and grabbed an arrow that flew towards Groleiden's face with his bare hand when the enemy's crossbow pulled the trigger on the young man's squad, and at the same time stepped forward to block the jay, and in a hurry, he raised his other arm and used the dark green muscles bulging from his arm to take a long-range shot that should have belonged to the black-robed Miss Drow Poet.

The dark purple eyes of the dark elf looked at his wide back, and they couldn't help but froze slightly.

"Mr. Stonefist!" Xia raised the iris shield in her right hand in time to block the arrows that fell on her, and turned her head to see the arm of the orc monk who was hit by the arrow, and exclaimed.

Fortunately, Castaño's warrior monk has been able to master the use of "qi" since the official class level 3, and thus begins to develop resistance to toxin damage. The arrow that hit the arm of the Stone Fist seemed to have a poison-quenching effect, but the green-skinned orc monk gritted his teeth with a calm face, and with a few strands of flesh that had been hooked upside down by the arrow, he reached out and pulled out the poisoned arrow, and tensed the muscles of the arm to force a pool of inky black bruises out from under the wound.

Gloriden took a breath of cold air and witnessed the terrifying scene just now, and hurriedly picked up the sour tooth crossbow in his hand and prepared to fight back.

Urs's hands had also lifted the black greatsword called the Cursed Blade by this time. The young man knew that Stone Fist's health must have been taken away by the arrow just now, but instead of immediately instructing the wolf-eared girl in the team who was a priest to perform a healing spell on him, he reminded her with his past combat experience: "Quick, Xia, put a resistance fear on everyone!" ”

"Understood!" The girl glanced apprehensively at her fellow orcs in the group, then nodded firmly at Urs's prompting, and then lifted the emblem bracelet she had wrapped around her left wrist.

Casting the 1-ring level priest magic technique of "Resisting Fear" was a breeze for her.

The Priest Maiden with Wolf Ears is a high-sense character who is suspected of having the characteristics of a "Sixth Sense" character, and it took less than a second for the Priest Divine Technique to Resist Fear to complete the chanting process in her mouth, instilling the power of courage in many adventurers around her, including several members of Urs' team.

This courage inspired by the hearts of the people quickly calmed the minds of the village guards and scattered adventurers who had been in a state of panic not long ago.

The Shaved Blade Adventure Troupe, which was closer to the young man's side, seemed to notice the wolf-eared girl's move, and the loud halfling thief leader named Sawyer Boots immediately turned his head approvingly and shouted at them, "Well done, Thorn Squad!" ”
