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

Black Rock Mountains.

At the foot of the mountain, on the only road leading to the summit.

Blood Wolf Guild leader, Blood Wolf War Soul, stood here with a gloomy expression.

Behind him was a vast, dark mass of over three hundred elite members of the Blood Wolf Guild.

They were all well-equipped and exuded a murderous aura, completely blocking the mountain road.

On the high ground on both sides of the mountain road, dozens of archers and hunters had already drawn their bows and aimed their arrows at the mountaintop, forming an impenetrable network of fire.

Further away, more solo players and small to medium-sized guilds, having heard the news, gathered around like vultures, waiting to grab a share of the spoils.

The entire Blackrock Mountain Range has been completely enveloped by a vast net woven from greed and murderous intent.

"Guild Master, everything is arranged." A rogue player emerged from the shadows and reported to Blood Wolf War Soul, "They're still on the mountaintop and show no signs of coming down."

"Very well." Blood Wolf War Soul sneered, "If they won't come down the mountain, we'll force them to!"

He turned around, facing the dark mass of people behind him, and raised the long sword in his hand.

"All squads! Heed my command!"

His voice, amplified through the guild channel, resounded throughout the entire mountain range.

"Begin the process!"

"Starting from the foot of the mountain, step by step, press it up!"

"I'd like to see where those two can hide!"

"yes!"

A thunderous roar of response rose into the sky.

Three hundred players from the Blood Wolf Guild formed a massive, bulldozing-like formation and began marching in unison along the mountain path, slowly advancing towards the summit.

Their footsteps were synchronized, forming a deep, booming sound like war drums, which made the entire mountain range seem to tremble slightly.

An unprecedented, unequal encirclement and suppression operation has officially begun.

As the targets of this siege, Li Wu and Hua Zitong are currently standing quietly side by side on the highest peak of the Black Stone Mountains.

The mountain breeze stirred the hems of their clothes and the tips of their hair.

They looked down at the massive formation that was slowly approaching them like a black tide, their expressions eerily calm.

"They're here," Li Wu said calmly.

"Mm," Hua Zitong replied.

"Are you ready?"

"Anytime is fine."

Li Wu stopped speaking.

He simply raised the Arcane Bow in his hand silently.

Then, the bowstring was drawn.

The moment the bowstring was drawn, an indescribable energy fluctuation rippled outwards from him.

He did not immediately condense an arrow, but maintained the posture of drawing the bow. His gaze, like that of a hawk, pierced through hundreds of meters and locked onto the figure on the mountainside, who stood out conspicuously in the center surrounded by the crowd.

Blood Wolf Warrior!

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

He understands this principle better than anyone else.

Once this commander is dealt with, this army of three hundred men will be nothing more than a disorganized mess.

"Are you aiming at the Blood Wolf Battle Soul?" Hua Zitong seemed to have seen through his intentions, and her voice carried a hint of surprise.

"The distance is too far, exceeding the maximum range of most skills. Moreover, he has many guards around him, and your arrows will likely be blocked."

Although she knew Li Wu was very strong, the idea of ​​him directly sniping the enemy leader halfway up the mountain from the mountaintop still sounded too far-fetched.

"Is it far?" A very subtle smile appeared on Li Wu's lips.

His gaze did not waver even slightly.

In his view, the whole world seemed to have become a model composed of countless data streams.

Wind speed, humidity, gravity, distance...

He even included the dust particles floating in the air in his calculations.

He could clearly "see" that there were four well-equipped shield warriors around Blood Wolf War Soul, protecting him firmly in the center, forming a defensive circle with almost no blind spots.

He could "see" that around the four shield warriors, there were several priest players whose staffs were glowing faintly, ready to cast healing and shields at any moment.

This is a perfect, impenetrable formation.

It is almost impossible to break through from the front.

but……

Li Wu's gaze shifted slightly upwards.

What he saw was the empty sky above the four shield warriors' heads...

"I don't need to break through their defenses." Li Wu's voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable confidence. "I just need to make my arrow fall from a place they would never expect."

From...the sky?

Hua Zitong was stunned; she didn't understand what Li Wu meant at all.

Can arrows change direction?

Meanwhile, on the mountainside...

Blood Wolf Warrior was in high spirits, commanding his army to advance step by step.

He enjoyed the feeling of being in control.

In his view, the two people on the mountaintop were already trapped, unable to escape.

"Boss, we're less than 500 meters from the summit," an adjutant reported beside him. "Those two at the top seem to be making no move. Are they preparing to surrender?"

"Surrender?" Blood Wolf War Soul sneered disdainfully. "Too late! Today, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save them!"

He looked up at the distant mountaintop, where two tiny, ant-like figures were faintly visible in his field of vision.

"Pass on my order! All ranged units, prepare for the first volley! Bomb them off the mountaintop!" he commanded fiercely.

However, at the very moment he gave the order.

An indescribable, profound sense of crisis, originating from the depths of his soul, suddenly enveloped his entire body!

The feeling was like being watched intently by a sleeping, ancient beast.

In an instant, every hair on his body stood on end!

"What's going on?!" He looked around in shock, but found nothing.

The team members around him continued to carry out his orders in an orderly manner.

The two people on the mountaintop remained standing there quietly, without making any move.

Is it just an illusion?

He frowned, trying to suppress the ominous feeling.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed hunter player next to him pointed to the sky and let out a terrified scream.

"Heavens...heavens! What's that?!"

Everyone instinctively looked up.
