Newbie Guardians

Chapter 26 Jungle Courier

This group of people were not in a hurry to kill Huang Xin. They just kept driving him deeper into the dense forest. When the prey could no longer run, they would catch him, slowly torture him to death, cut off his head, throw it into a pot to cook, eat it, string it up and hang it around their necks.

However, they didn't know that Huang Xin thought the same thing. He staggered backward, looking extremely "disheveled," while cursing under his breath.

"I'll show you what a jungle deliveryman is like in a minute!"

Finally, someone noticed something was wrong and shouted, "This guy is suspicious! Kill him!" Instantly, the area covered by the spears increased significantly. Huang Xin turned and charged, his speed becoming unbelievable thanks to his ability to ignore the terrain.

"It's time to fight back!" Huang Shen quickly took down his longbow, skillfully drew the bow, and shot an arrow. Whoosh! A scream rang out as one of the men, who only had one left eye left, had an arrow lodged in his left eye, the arrowhead piercing straight through his skull. With a thud, propelled by the arrow, the man was thrown backward and crashed heavily to the ground, his body still convulsing.

Whoosh! Another person fell down.

"Scatter! Encircle them!"

Huang Xin couldn't understand a word they were saying, and he was completely unfazed by their encirclement. In the jungle, who could outrun him? He dragged his enemies along while looking for opportunities to counterattack. Five minutes later, more than a dozen had fallen, but the group remained fearless and continued to pursue him relentlessly. As they chased, they whistled, startling many small animals that scattered in all directions. Those unlucky enough to run in the wrong direction were trampled to death.

Three more minutes passed, and only seven of the enemy remained. However, Huang Xin's quiver was empty. Just as he was about to run forward and shake off his pursuers, he suddenly heard a whistle not far away, followed by a second and a third. Dense footsteps approached, some from the left, some from the right, and even from behind.

Huang Xin could only rely on his instincts and ran wildly in one direction. A dozen or so people dressed in the same way rushed towards him. Whoosh! Five or six spears flew over. Huang Xin rolled to avoid the attack, then grabbed one and threw it at one of them with all his might. Without even checking if it hit, he sprinted, broke through the encirclement, and disappeared into the jungle.

Once the target was gone, the other side cursed and walked back, ignoring even the corpse of their companion.

Huang Xin realized this was no good; he couldn't let them go back. Hanna was still in the tree hollow. He had to think of a way. He was out of arrows, and not good at melee combat. What to do? That's it! Carlo! He checked his skills and found that Summon Carlo was already off cooldown. Huang Xin ran towards the group, and when he was about 30 or 40 meters away, he summoned Carlo and gave the order to kill all the enemies. He followed behind, observing the battle. Once Carlo was defeated, he would then come out to lure the monsters.

Suddenly, there was a soft thud behind him, as if something had hit the ground. Turning around, he was startled to see a whole bundle of arrows, probably dozens or even hundreds. "Who could be helping me?" Huang Shen looked around for a long time but couldn't find anyone. He could only shout loudly,

"Thank you so much for your help!"

Then, hoisting his arrows, he charged towards the enemy. Seeing Carlo confronting the group, who seemed wary of the skeleton man and hesitant to attack, Huang Xin didn't care. He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and whoosh! One person fell! This arrow was like igniting a powder keg; the group rushed towards Carlo and Huang Xin like madmen.

Huang Xin shouted, "Carlo, improvise!"

Then she turned and ran, fighting back as she ran, dragging them deeper into the dense forest, further and further away. By the time they got back, Hannah would probably have already recovered!

After defeating the last enemy, Huang Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was finally over. It was time to go back and reunite with Hanna.

However, after running around aimlessly, she couldn't remember which direction led back, and could only keep walking in one direction by instinct. Fortunately, there was no need to worry about Carlo, as she could summon him again every half hour.

Looking up at the sky, he realized it was already dark. Thanks to the passive buff of the Night Archer, he could still see clearly. As he walked, a pool of water appeared before him. The water was crystal clear, a deep green hue, and its depths were unfathomable. Huang Xin first tried throwing a dry twig into the pool, but after a long while, there was no movement.

He squatted down and washed his hands first. They felt icy cold. After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to drink them. The pool was so calm that it probably wasn't flowing water. If he got sick from drinking it, it would be a big problem.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, I suddenly heard a woman's voice faintly.

"Be careful!"

Huang Xin felt a huge crisis approaching, and hurriedly rolled to the side twice, then leaped away from the pool.

With a loud splash, water sprayed twenty or thirty meters high, and a giant monster that looked like a salamander leaped out of the water and slammed heavily onto the spot where Huang Xin had just been standing.

The monster's body was half in the water and half on the shore, with the part above the water measuring seven or eight meters in length. Its head was flat and more than two meters wide, with two tentacles hanging down to the ground. Its eyes were pale yellow, like two soccer balls, and stared straight at Huang Xin.

Huang Shen instinctively took two steps back and realized that although the monster was very large, it was obviously unable to climb up and probably posed no threat. So he found a large rock three or four meters high and tried to climb up to take a closer look.

"Be careful!"

The woman's voice rang in his ears again! Huang Xin hurriedly looked up and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

A giant snake was coiled on the rock, its large triangular head sticking out and its tongue, which was two or three meters long, constantly flicking out!

The giant snake and the monster faced off for a while before the snake turned and left, leaving behind a dense, teeth-grinding sound of scales rubbing together as it gradually faded into the distance. Then, the monster slowly retreated back into the water, and the surface gradually returned to calm.

"This place is too dangerous! Let's leave right away!"

Huang Shen hurried a few steps before remembering the woman's voice. He seemed to have heard it twice, but he never noticed anyone around him.

"Am I hallucinating? Both times it warned me of danger, it can't be such a coincidence! And that bundle of arrows just now! Someone must be helping me! Who could it be? The Elf Goddess? Hannah said the Elf Goddess protects everyone. Thank you for your protection, Goddess! Thank you for your protection, Goddess!"

As Huang Xin walked, he thanked the goddess, and his figure gradually disappeared.

A slender figure veiled in black slowly emerged from the shadows, murmuring to herself,

"Not bad! He's willing to use himself as bait to save Hannah! He's getting more and more pleasing to the eye!"

The girl walked to the edge of the pool, took out her emerald green bone staff, pointed it at the water, and chanted a strange incantation. With a splash, the monster surfaced, wriggling its enormous body, twenty or thirty meters long, swimming merrily towards the girl. The girl knelt down, reached out, and gently stroked the monster's head.

"Sweetie! I scared that little black-scaled snake away, and it's never dared to come back. Be a good girl and wait here, I'll definitely help you find your mommy!"
