I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

When Li Wu stepped into that vast jungle, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

The towering trees blocked out the sun, cutting the sunlight into fragmented spots that dappled the damp ground. The air was filled with the pungent smell of decaying plants and earthy soil, and the occasional chirping of unknown insects and birds drifted from the depths of the dense forest.

The terrain became more complex, and visibility was greatly limited.

This is not an ideal combat environment for archers.

But Li Wu didn't care.

For him, any place is his hunting ground, as long as there is enough space for him to draw his bow.

As he moved forward, he used "Eagle Eye" to survey his surroundings.

There are far fewer players in the jungle than in the wasteland, but those who remain are clearly hunters who know better how to survive.

Using the cover of trees and bushes, they moved silently, like ghosts, searching for their prey.

Li Wu's eagle eyes spotted several groups of players lying in ambush.

There were thieves hiding in the treetops, ready to ambush.

There are hunters who disguise themselves as bushes and set traps.

But he did not actively attack these people.

His targets are the apex predators who are also hunting others.

After walking for about ten minutes, Li Wu suddenly stopped.

He stood under a giant tree, looked up, and gazed at a thick branch diagonally above him.

There was nothing there.

However, in his [perception of fate], the "probability" there was undergoing extremely subtle and abnormal fluctuations.

It was as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the darkness.

"interesting."

Li Wu didn't make a sound, but pretended to know nothing and continued walking forward.

He deliberately slowed his pace, and even stopped to pretend to observe the terrain when passing an open area, revealing what appeared to be a flaw in his back.

This is a trap.

A trap to lure the hunter out of the darkness.

really.

Just three seconds after he stopped walking.

The air not far behind him suddenly distorted like ripples on water.

A blurry black shadow, like a ghost, slipped out from the shadows of the trees without making a sound.

His speed was extreme, and the two poisoned daggers in his hands gleamed with a deadly light in the dim light.

His target was Li Wu's back!

This is a top-tier assassin!

Moreover, he is a top assassin who has mastered advanced stealth techniques and may even possess rare skills such as shadow movement.

This strike was perfect in terms of timing, angle, and speed.

Any other archer, or even some top mages, would have met their demise if caught off guard and attacked at such close range.

However, just a fraction of a second before the two daggers touched Li Wu's back...

Li Wu moved.

He didn't turn around.

He didn't even turn around.

He simply shifted his body half a meter to the left in an inexplicable posture that completely defied human biomechanics.

[Flash Arrow]!

It's that skill again!

But this time, the distance of his release was extremely short, almost like "moving" in place.

"Whoosh!"

Two deadly daggers grazed his clothes and missed.

The assassin who emerged from the shadows showed a hint of utter astonishment in his eyes.

He couldn't understand how his opponent had dodged that fatal blow.

This is no longer a matter of reaction speed.

This was a prediction!

No, it's even more outrageous than predicted; it's practically like... prophecy!

The assassin, having missed his target, showed no reluctance to continue the fight and immediately tried to retreat, disappearing back into the shadows.

As a top assassin, he knew the principle of "if one strike fails, flee a thousand miles away".

But will Li Wu give him that opportunity?

of course not.

The instant Li Wuping moved aside, the arcane bow in his hand was already drawn to its full extent.

An arrow flashing with lightning was already on the bowstring, waiting.

The moment the assassin's figure was fully exposed to the air.

Li Wusong released her hand.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow leaves the bowstring.

The distance between the two was less than five meters.

At this distance, no one could dodge Li Wu's arrow.

The assassin's pupils contracted sharply. He only had time to cross his arms in front of his chest, attempting to parry with his dagger.

"boom!"

The lightning arrow struck the assassin precisely in the chest.

-18977! (Critical Hit) (Weakness)

Another overwhelming damage number.

The assassin's leather armor and his two fine daggers were as fragile as paper in the face of this violent lightning power.

His body was blasted away by the immense force, crashing heavily into the tree trunk behind him, his health bar instantly dropping to zero.

"you……"

The assassin's face still held a deep sense of disbelief.

He struggled to lift his head, looking at the archer slowly approaching him, a hoarse sound escaping his throat.

"...How...did you find me?"

This was his final question.

Li Wu walked up to him, looking down at him with an expressionless gaze.

"The murderous aura emanating from you is too strong."

Li Wu said calmly.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

What he truly relied on was his "sense of destiny".

As long as the other party harbors murderous intent towards him, it will trigger a fluctuation in probability, and this fluctuation is as conspicuous to him as a campfire in the dark night.

Therefore, from the moment the assassin set his sights on him, all his actions were exposed to Li Wu.

The assassin seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing at all.

His eyes finally dimmed and turned into a white light.

[Player 'Seeing Through the Fog' from District 21 defeated player 'Nightmare' from District 12, earning 10 points.]

Another once-famous name in its server has fallen.

"Nightmare! It's Nightmare, the 'Jungle Ghost' from District 12!"

"My God, even he got wiped out in seconds? What kind of monster is this 'Seeing Through the Fog'?"

"Isn't he an archer? Why isn't he afraid of assassins getting close?"

The public chat channel was once again shaken by this kill announcement.

If the previous annihilation of the [Blazing Fang] demonstrated Li Wu's terrifying ability in direct combat.

This time, his counterattack against the top assassin "Nightmare" proves that he also possesses unfathomable strength in counter-surveillance and close combat.

He seems to have no weaknesses.

Li Wu picked up the points badge that Ye Mei had dropped and crushed it.

Then, he raised his head and looked again at the empty branch he had seen before.

He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet it carried clearly throughout the surrounding jungle.

"You've been watching for so long, aren't you going to come out and say hello?"

The air was completely silent.

The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Li Wu wasn't in a hurry. He just stood there quietly, drawing the bow in his hand once more.

This time, what condensed on the bowstring was a dark red energy singularity that exuded an ominous aura.

【Burning Star Returns to Ruins Arrow】.

He aimed the energy singularity at the tree branch.

I'll count to three.

"three."

"two."

Just as he was about to count to "one".

A melodious female voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness and admiration, drifted down from that tree branch.

"Alright, alright, I'll come out. Your senses are as sharp as a monster."

As the voice spoke, a slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the tree branches.
