Su Can whispered a few words into the Heart Crossbowman's ear.
The Crossbowman's expression turned solemn,
signaling he would carry out the City Lord's order without fail!
Su Can nodded with satisfaction, a ruthless gleam in his eyes.
If he could kill Lin Chen...
he would no longer worry about this great enemy and could rise by seizing the opportunity!
In recent days, Lin Chen had been trading food and exchanging Magic Crystals in the market.
His resources and wealth must be enormous.
If Su Can could seize those resources,
he would instantly soar ahead!
Moreover, Su Can was in hiding, Lin Chen was out in the open.
Even if the plan failed, he could choose to flee.
Such a win-win deal, only a fool wouldn't do it!
While Su Can pondered, a clatter of footsteps came ahead.
He quickly lowered his head and concealed himself.
Through a bush gap, he peered forward.
A line of soldiers slowly emerged from the camp.
They all rode tall, fierce, black dragon-like beasts.
Clad in black armor, wielding two-meter spears, exuding killing intent.
Their sharp, murderous eyes!
Each one was at least Level 3!
The sight terrified Su Can, nearly making him cry out.
What troop was this?
Their imposing appearance and overwhelming aura made hearts tremble.
Among the knights, a young man strode out of the camp.
He smiled broadly, with a dirty barbarian following him.
"Lin Chen!"
Su Can's eyes locked onto the young man.
He was sure—that was Lin Chen!
Seeing the terrifying knights beside Lin Chen, Su Can's face paled.
This power was on another level!
If discovered or if the plan failed, his fate was predictable!
But the strength of the Demonic Dragon Knights didn't deter Su Can.
Instead, it made him more determined to kill Lin Chen!
He held the initiative and could strike first!
If he waited until Lin Chen became strong,
he would be forced to choose between submission or destruction.
"If I can get his troops, why worry about dominating Myriad Clans Continent!"
Su Can's expression hardened.
He gave the prearranged signal to the Heart Crossbowman.
The Crossbowman slowly raised his crossbow,
locked onto the very conspicuous young man's heart,
and quietly waited.
The City Lord's order was a guaranteed kill—no misses allowed!
...
Leaving Tauren Camp, Lin Chen breathed deeply the fresh air.
His mood was greatly uplifted!
This trip yielded rich rewards.
System rewards, Tauren treasures, all in hand!
Plus a stunning maid.
Lin Chen stretched lazily.
He hadn't rested since last night.
When he returned, he could convert the gains into Morning Song City's power!
He no longer feared the newbie trial.
He could relax a while.
Just as Lin Chen spread his arms, a sudden change occurred!
Whoosh!
A sharp gust sounded!
A green arrow shot through the air like lightning.
Holy Knight, Sky Knight, and Earth Knight's faces changed drastically!
An attack!
Holy Knight reflexively reached out to grab it-
but caught only air!
Ding!
A Feather Arrow pierced Lin Chen's heart!
His smile vanished instantly; his face twisted in pain.
He looked down, incredulous at the arrow in his chest!
Everyone's faces turned pale at the sight!
"City Lord!" Holy Knight let out a heart-wrenching roar.
Far away, Su Can almost leapt for joy!
Success!
The Heart Crossbowman had killed Lin Chen!
But Su Can's smile froze quickly.
He was horrified to see Lin Chen's body did not fall.
No blood flowed from the wound.
Lin Chen, who should have been pierced through the heart, was still alive.
His face was painful as he grabbed the Feather Arrow and threw it away!
"Impossible... this can't be!"
Su Can's heart was tossed by a storm of shock.
His Heart Crossbowman was Level 3—how could Lin Chen withstand that?!
Their group's starting strength was "None"!
Lin Chen should have died from that arrow!
Su Can's joy evaporated instantly, replaced by dread and fear.
The huge psychological blow almost overwhelmed him.
But Su Can was a capable man.
He took several deep breaths and regained composure.
The plan failed; this place was no longer safe!
If Lin Chen found him now, death was certain!
Just then, a rider's furious gaze shot over from afar.
A roar!
The Demonic Dragon Knight bellowed and charged forward.
Su Can did not hesitate and shouted to the two sides, "Run!"
