Shortly after Fors and Xio entered the apartment building, Varina emerged from the shadows.

He glanced at the dim sky covered with dark clouds and thought it was a good sign.

It's daytime now, and the most suitable environment for him to perform is at night. The dark and stormy weather like this is already the best environment he can encounter during the day.

Withdrawing his gaze, Varina also walked into the entrance of the apartment building.

This is a small old apartment building with only 2 relatively narrow suites on each floor. The entrances are on the left and right sides of the stairs.

Forsi and Xio walked on the wooden stairs, rising step by step.

As they approached the residence on the fourth floor, they quickly reviewed the analysis hypotheses and countermeasures Varina told them.

The enemy is most likely a "Hunter".

If he hasn't left yet, there is a high probability that there will be traps in the room. In addition, "Hunters" are good at hunting and fighting, so they must get out of the prey's thinking mode and avoid the enemy's strengths.

This time, the three of them are the hunters.

Warina told them a truth, "Excellent hunters often appear as prey."

Soon, the 4th floor arrived.

Forsi nodded to Xio, stretched out his hand to open the door on the wall, and entered the suite next door on the right;

Xio stopped at the door and no longer covered up the broken three-pointed thorn in his hand;

She estimated the preparation time Forsi needed, and when she felt it was about the same, she opened the door and walked in. She left the door open, held the three-pointed thorn in front of her, and carefully searched the room.

Xio found that some furniture in the room had indeed changed positions. This did not look like signs of searching for property, so he became more vigilant.

Soon, Xio determined that the living room looked fine.

Then, she carefully walked around the sofa and coffee table on the road, preparing to search the bathroom.

As soon as she opened the door with one hand, a two-handed sword struck her head!



Forsi entered the suite next door and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the owner was not there.

She didn't want to be thought of as a burglar.

The suites on both sides were symmetrical. Fors quickly found the kitchen and got a vegetable cutting knife inside.

Then, she returned to the living room and waited at a suitable location for Xio's signal.

As soon as she heard Xio's call, she would immediately "open the door" and go over to help. With just a little delay, Varina will be here.

Of course, she hoped that there was no danger. The last thing she heard was Xio tapping on the wall to indicate safety.

However, she didn't wait long before she heard Xio's urgent call.

Without thinking much, Forsi "opened the door" as quickly as possible and walked through the wall. He saw Xio using a three-edged thorn to barely block the enemy's sword slash. He lost his balance, took two steps back and tripped over the coffee table.

Forsi shouted hurriedly and threw the cutting knife in his hand towards the enemy.

She wanted to run over and help Xio up, but she fell to the ground within two steps because she encountered an inconspicuous trip rope.

These traps...he is indeed a "hunter"!

Only then did the "Hunter" walk out of the darkness of the bathroom, allowing Xio and Forsi to see his whole face.

This is a slender man with short black hair, a ringed beard, wearing a black coat, and holding a simple two-handed sword in his right hand.

"I never thought you would dare to come back," he sneered and mocked, "Women are just stupid..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness, and then he felt a strong wind piercing the back of his heart.



After Varina entered the apartment building, he stopped on the third floor.

He used his gray vision to confirm that the owner of the suite on the right was not at home, so he took out a piece of wire - a tool he specially prepared after getting the "Prisoner's Ring", and pried open the door.

After entering, Varina closed the door, went straight to the balcony in the bedroom, and jumped from there to the balcony of the suite on the left on the fourth floor - where Xio and Forsi lived.

Through the gray vision, he easily discovered the enemy's location.

It was obvious that besides him, there were three other people on the fourth floor. The one standing against the wall next door must be Forsi, and the one still moving slowly at the door was obviously Xio.

Then, the one hiding motionless in the bathroom can only be the enemy.

Varina thought for a while and decided to carry out a sneak attack as originally planned.

To do this, he needs to target the enemy's location and move to a more suitable location - the ventilation window near the bathroom is very good.

Soon, Xio searched the door of the bathroom and received a blow to the head.

The sword struck down, and Varina's heartstrings tightened.

Although he believed that Xio wouldn't be knocked down in one blow, he couldn't help but worry, especially if he had the ability to stop the blow in advance.

Fortunately, Xio lived up to his expectations. He quickly raised the three-pointed thorn in his hand and blocked the path of the sword.

"when!"

After the crisp sound of metal clashing, the incomplete triangular thorn broke into pieces again.

The two-handed sword continued to strike, but the speed and power were not as good as before.

Xiu shouted, taking a few steps back to avoid the edge of the sword, but tripped over the coffee table——

This is the "Hunter" trap, simple but effective.

At this time, Forsi came through the wall, threw the cutting knife in vain and tripped down——

In terms of physical fitness, the "apprentice" was the worst among the people present.

It was only then that the "hunter", who felt he had a chance to win, walked into the hunting ground and planned to harvest the prey. Of course, before that, he instinctively wanted to say something sarcastic.

Varina struck at the perfect moment.

A full blow, a full blow using the "Charged Explosion" technique.

Hit, but not quite.

Varina aimed at the back of the body, intending to hit the target with a fatal blow. Unexpectedly, the "Hunter" actually twisted his body at the last moment and avoided the vital point.

The dagger slashed across the "Hunter's" back, dragging out a deep wound.

Varina landed in front of the "Hunter" and saw his iconic ringed beard. He was shocked to realize that he had seen him before at the Extraordinary gathering of Mr. "Eye of Wisdom".

He sold a magical item corresponding to the "Sleepless One";

That two-handed sword is an extraordinary weapon with a "warrior" ability!

There was no time to be surprised. After landing, Varina adjusted his posture as quickly as possible and attacked again.

He wants to drive the "hunters" out of the hunting ground full of traps and eliminate the opponent's geographical advantages.

The injury on his back greatly reduced the speed and power of the ring-hued "Hunter"'s sword swing. Varina skillfully ducked to avoid it, bumped into his arms, pierced his abdomen with the dagger, and carried him to the window. Fell outside.

"Boom."

Luo Huanhu's body fell to the ground, making a dull impact sound.

Falling from the height of the fourth floor is definitely not that easy to bear even with the physical fitness of a "hunter".

Luo Huanhu knelt down on one knee, put his big sword on the ground, covered the wound on his abdomen with his left hand, looked up at Varina who was falling in an attacking posture in the air, and let out an unwilling roar.

When he fell out of the window, he fell straight down, and his injuries were even aggravated by the landing.

But this guy who sneak-attacked me could actually stay in the air like a feather, wait for him to adjust his attack posture, and then fall down to attack him who had just landed?

This is so unfair!

At this time, he has not yet realized that he himself has never given his prey a fair chance to fight.

Warinar descended from the sky with a blade, piercing the "Hunter"'s throat, ending his roar.
