Chapter 106: The Terrifying Enemy

After hearing that this man was Tranks, the other five adventurers who had rushed over immediately made a rash move, only cautiously watching Han Shuo. Who would have thought that what they feared would come true? Han Shuo actually really took action.

Tranks, who had dodged this crossbow arrow, his face suddenly cooled down. His sharp pupils instantly gathered on Han Shuo, he nodded and said, "You have guts!"

Without continuing to act to take the poison tooth from the other mouth of the two-headed dragon, Tranks held a broadsword in his right hand, walking unhurriedly towards Han Shuo, his expression clearly not good.

"Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding. I think my friend definitely shot this crossbow arrow because he was nervous!" Odysseus suddenly shouted, with a bitter smile on his face as he explained to Tranks.

At this moment, the paused crossbow was suddenly loaded with another crossbow arrow again. While Odysseus was frantically explaining, Han Shuo aimed at the slowly walking Tranks and shot another arrow out.

Like being slapped hard in the face on the spot, Odysseus's expression was stunned. The explanation in his mouth seemed powerless and pale, he forcibly stopped.

Tranks's walking steps staggered, once again miraculously evaded the crossbow arrow's attack, still slowly walking towards Han Shuo, his two eyes tightly staring at Han Shuo, without a trace of relaxation.

After taking a deep breath, since the distance had closed and the crossbow had lost its effect, after Han Shuo put away the crossbow, he drew out the Demon Slaughtering Blade, ready to respond to Tranks's attack at any time.

"You will have to pay the price!" Tranks's body that was walking suddenly stopped, then coldly said in his mouth.

"Uh, I... we?" The water system high-level mage Afra, her face cold, muttered this sentence.

"It seems we have run into trouble. Since that's the case, we might as well not be polite." Odysseus, who had always avoided fighting with Tranks, seeing that the situation had reached this point where it was hard to escape, sighed lightly and said this sentence.

Odysseus, as the captain, this sentence of his opening, the five adventurers who were originally still somewhat hesitant immediately quickly took their positions, preparing their weapons. Planning to deal with this notorious troublesome guy who appeared in the dark forest.

Tranks, who was about to approach Han Shuo, who had been holding the wide sword in his hand, suddenly drew it out, milky white fighting spirit wrapping around the broadsword, a white light grazing the ground towards the direction where Han Shuo was located.

The shrubs on the ground suddenly turned into a sky full of powder. Wherever the white fighting spirit passed, the ground seemed to crack open with a gap. The power contained in the fighting spirit made people feel horrified. As a fellow swordsman, Feibi, Han Shuo had fought with her several times together. Han Shuo clearly felt that Tranks's fighting spirit seemed even more domineering in killing power.

The Profound Ice Demon Flame Technique started operating. The surging magic energy was all infused into the Demon Slaughtering Blade. The Demon Slaughtering Blade that absorbed the surging magic energy immediately spread out scorching red light to the surroundings. Just as the white fighting spirit was wildly approaching grazing the ground, the Demon Slaughtering Blade was tightly gripped by Han Shuo and suddenly slashed towards the ground.

A loud explosion rang out, the milky white fighting spirit collided with the red light blooming Demon Slaughtering Blade, suddenly a circular pit over a meter deep appeared out of nowhere, some shrub powder inside it rose with charred thick smoke.

Tranks stood in place without moving. His sharp pupils were still looking forward. Han Shuo holding the Demon Slaughtering Blade, after retreating five or six steps in a row, suddenly sat down. The right arm holding the Demon Slaughtering Blade was a mess of bloody flesh, looking very scary.

"He actually didn't die. He still has some mad capital." Tranks looked at Han Shuo, seeming a bit puzzled and said.

Shaking his right arm, the blood droplets seeping out fell out. Han Shuo moved his body that was numb all over. The magic energy circulated through his body at an unprecedented high speed. Then with both feet exerting force, he finally stood up again.

Last time facing Lawrence, Han Shuo tested that his strength was indeed higher than that of a mid-level swordsman. Facing Tranks who had already reached the swordsman realm and was a legendary figure, Han Shuo immediately used his full strength, infusing ten-tenths of his magic energy into the Demon Slaughtering Blade, hard-blocking one of Tranks's attacks.

The facts proved that the strength of the swordsman level was indeed far beyond Han Shuo's expectations. Tranks perhaps didn't use his full power in one attack, but it seemed to have already caused Han Shuo no small injury. If it weren't for Han Shuo's magical power being miraculous and his body tough, probably with this one strike, most people would have their entire right arm shattered and could never recover in their lifetime.

"Protect our companion!" Odysseus shouted calmly, then the group of six adventurers instantly surrounded Han Shuo.

Before Tranks could continue his action, the archer Niya and the two mages' attacks were already launched, shooting straight at Tranks who was still strangely looking at Han Shuo. The three warriors did not leave Han Shuo's side, dividing into three directions to surround Han Shuo, firmly protecting him.

The attacks of Niya and the two mages were quickly evaded by Tranks, then before these people could continue, the Scorpion-tailed Lion suddenly leaped out, carrying Tranks on its back.

"Friends, I'll go get something to eat first. You guys prepare well. I'll play with you slowly." Unexpectedly, Tranks did not continue attacking, instead sitting on the Scorpion-tailed Lion and said this sentence coldly, then patted the Scorpion-tailed Lion, and the Scorpion-tailed Lion obediently quickly left this place.

One person and one beast, in the watchful gaze of Odysseus and the others who were nervously on edge, calmly crossed the dense shrubbery and left. Until everyone discovered that Tranks really disappeared, only then did they all let out a sigh of relief, after the tension appearing somewhat tired and then sitting down heavily on the ground.

"What's wrong? Why did you act so impulsively?" Only at this moment did Odysseus look at Han Shuo strangely and say.

With a bitter smile, Han Shuo shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry. I have some eccentric personality, sometimes I do things that I can't control myself."

According to Han Shuo's usual personality, he absolutely would not have chosen to fight such a powerful expert right then. But I don't know why, in Han Shuo's heart now he can no longer tolerate being threatened, even if behind the threat there was indeed strong killing power, Han Shuo would resist at all costs.

Actually, after Odysseus proposed the name Tranks, Han Shuo who learned what this name meant in terms of strength had some hesitation, even planning to immediately put down the crossbow in his hand, let him take the two-headed dragon away, unwilling to provoke such a strong enemy.

But in the end, Han Shuo still took action, and it was very decisive action, without considering the painful revenge that would come later at all. This change in personality made Han Shuo himself feel a bit unbelievable. It could only be classified under the effect of the magical technique.

"Perhaps we are too weak. Actually your approach is really admirable, but I think we will encounter great trouble later." Odysseus nodded and said, his gaze radiant looking at Han Shuo, revealing sincere admiration in his eyes.

"You were able to hard-block one of his attacks without dying, which already shows you are powerful enough. Has your injury on the body improved?" The elf archer Niya walked to Han Shuo's side and asked with some concern.

Taking out the bandage from the spatial ring, simply bandaging his right arm, after Han Shuo put the weapon away, he opened his mouth to say to the group: "Sorry for bringing trouble to everyone, and very grateful for everyone's actions just now. Tranks won't let it go, I think after we take the remaining things from the two-headed dragon, we should discuss how to deal with Tranks."

Although suddenly having an additional enemy made everyone's mood a bit heavy, but the two-headed dragon was finally protected. Now Han Shuo mentioned the spoils of the two-headed dragon, everyone became even more spirited, laughing as they took out daggers and went to the two-headed dragon, taking out the remaining poison teeth and magic beast crystal cores of the two-headed dragon.

The two-headed dragon's poison teeth are important materials for refining some highly poisonous powder. If modified by alchemists, they could also be used as magic arrows, then exploding and spraying poison water in the middle to cause fatal damage to enemies in a small range. As a level 2 magic beast, the two-headed dragon's magic beast crystal core is also very precious. At least it could be sold for over a thousand gold coins.

Under Han Shuo's insistence, the magic beast crystal core was given by Han Shuo to Odysseus, as a return for their help just now. The two poison teeth of the two-headed dragon were taken by Han Shuo into the spatial ring, planning to use them later when there was an opportunity.

After finishing these things, the sky was already slightly bright, the group packed up their luggage and continued heading deeper into the southern dark forest.

While walking, everyone discussed, trying to find a way to deal with Tranks.

"This Tranks has been regarded as a terrifying existence since he appeared in the dark forest. The beastmen that appear in the deeper parts of the dark forest are all very powerful. Adventurers there often get involved in desperate fights for some spoils, and even companions who came together might betray you at critical moments, so that place is full of chaos and killings. People who can adapt to the environment there, in addition to having super strength, also need a cold heart.

Tranks is precisely the outstanding figure of such a person. In addition, he is very familiar with some environments inside, and very good at using the environment in the dark forest to give enemies cruel blows. Since we have provoked him this time, I think we will definitely be attacked by him later when we enter the dark forest, so we need to stay alert, don't be suddenly attacked by him." Odysseus explained the chaos deeper inside and Tranks's terror, making everyone cautious.

"Don't worry, he won't have the chance to sneak attack us!" After Odysseus finished all this, Han Shuo said with a confident smile.

Once this was said, everyone was stunned in expression. However, the few people who had seen Han Shuo's miracles did not immediately doubt Han Shuo's words. Gordon looked at Han Shuo full of interest and asked, "Why?"

With a mysterious smile, Han Shuo scanned the group and said, "The two-headed dragon is 500 meters away from us, I can already detect its traces. Tranks wanting to sneak attack us is simply impossible. You can just rest assure, Tranks wanting to use his familiarity with the dark forest to sneak attack us is absolutely impossible."

With the existence of three yuan demons, Han Shuo could clearly detect any person or magic beast approaching. No matter how familiar Tranks is with the environment, with the existence of yuan demons he won't be able to succeed in sneaking attack. This point Han Shuo is not boasting.

"I think the reason he chose to suddenly leave earlier was because he didn't have complete certainty to wipe us out in one go, so he definitely planned to use his familiar methods to deal with us slowly. If he can't sneak attack, with our seven working together, Tranks even with the Scorpion-tailed Lion might not completely have the upper hand, we really don't need to fear him." Odysseus said with some joy in his face seeing Han Shuo so certain.

"I guarantee it!" Han Shuo said affirmatively.

Afterwards, for two consecutive days, everyone continued heading south into the dark forest. Under the surprised gazes of Odysseus and the others, Han Shuo removed the bandage from his right arm, the originally cracked wound had completely healed, with no traces of injury visible.

"Too miraculous, it actually healed!" Gordon's huge mouth opened wide, staring in disbelief at Han Shuo's right arm while observing, trying to find the secret of how Han Shuo's injury healed so quickly.

The other five adventurers also looked at Han Shuo with eyes of looking at a monster, seemingly not expecting that in just two days, the injury to his right arm had completely healed, such unbelievable fact placed before them, they couldn't help but be surprised.

The magical technique's repeated forging and tempering, the toughness and miracle of the body they couldn't understand at all. Han Shuo also didn't open his mouth to explain this matter, found a magical excuse with some powder and casually covered it up.

When everyone was about to enter the tent at night, Han Shuo suddenly said, "Tranks wants to act. I think he will come over to attack us tonight. We need to make simple arrangements, then you follow my orders to attack. This time I will let Tranks understand how ridiculous his sneak attack is!"
