The thick leather boots stained with blood stomped heavily on the soft, moist grassland, splattering bits of mud.

“Damn…

how could there be a professional!”

The fierce-looking man with a flat top was panting heavily, his arms swinging like pendulums as the dense bushes on both sides swiftly receded behind him.

“I damn well shouldn’t have trusted that old man’s words.

This business deal nearly cost my life!”

“Boss, what do we do now?”

Running alongside the fierce man was a burly man whose features had a sowhat dull expression.

Yet at this mont, his face was marked by not only dullness but also a deep fear.

“What do we do?

Do you even see what we’re doing right now?”

“Run!”

“That kid has a complicated background, this River Valley Town…

no, we probably can’t stay in any town near Neum.”

Whizz—

A rapidly spinning arrow tore through the air, piercing instantly into the ground beside the man’s feet.

From the shadows of the forest not far away ca a terrifying sound of sothing moving quickly.

The two n shivered instantly, and their already panicked steps turned even more chaotic, as if a horrifying monster was chasing them.

“Creak!”

Grass clippings and fallen leaves danced in the air.

The fierce man suddenly felt that the intrusive resistance of the annoying bushes in front of him vanished in an instant;

The sunlight that should have been blocked by the tree canopy suddenly beca intense.

The view ahead opened wide.

An open space!?

“Boss, there’s an ambush!”

A frightened shout ca from the dull man’s side.

Following his gaze, a sharp-featured black-haired youth ca into view.

Although the fierce man vaguely felt that he looked familiar, at this mont, he couldn’t care less.

With blood surging and eyes flashing golden, the thrilling emotion at the boundary of life and death prompted him to make a decision in an instant.

“Damn it, just one, take him down!

Even if I die, I’m taking soone with !”

…

Xia Nan heard two hurried footsteps suddenly co from the woods not far away from him.

He stood up and turned his head.

Two n, covered in broken leaves and grass clippings, had already rushed out instantly.

Ti seed to montarily press the pause button at this mont.

The slightly pungent sll of the Firefly Garlic Vine poured into his nose with each breath, and the rustling sound of swaying branches filled his ears.

His brain raced.

[0.1 seconds]

Upon seeing the two n appear, the first thought that flashed through Xia Nan’s mind was—

Run.

The suddenly appearing clearing in the dense forest, the deliberately conspicuous and expensive plants, the search results with no anomalies, even the timing when he had just completed the Firefly Garlic Vine harvest.

All told him that these two were waiting here deliberately to ambush him.

But then he realized that if he wanted to escape, the heavy backpack loaded with Firefly Garlic Vine, valued at over thirty Gold Coins, must be discarded.

“Profit” and “risk,” like an invisible scale, were gradually weighed against each other in his mind.

[0.2 seconds]

“Is it possible to avoid the battle?”

A thought flashed through his mind.

“Convince them verbally, or offer to give up so benefits?”

No, that won’t work!

He was outnumbered, while the other side had two people.

Before demonstrating certain strength, he completely lacked the leverage to negotiate.

And by the determined posture these two showcased, they didn’t seem like they could be negotiated with either.

Therefore…

[0.3 seconds]

The feeling of the sword blade unsheathing was sluggish in his hand.

The heavy backpack, once so cherished and worth dozens of Gold Coins, was now rcilessly thrown aside.

Battle intent surged beneath the surface.

At this mont, Xia Nan had already made his decision.

[0.5 seconds]

Xia Nan stood in place, watching the two n quickly split and spread to both sides.

Were they planning to flank him and attack simultaneously?

Reality isn’t a ga.

Being cut by swords wouldn’t just drop a health bar.

If a limb is severed, you’ll beco crippled for life;

If stabbed in the throat, you’ll truly die.

Even with Healing Potions, they couldn’t regenerate limbs or bring the dead back to life.

At this mont, Xia Nan didn’t know what he was up against.

Driven purely by the instincts of survival, he frantically analyzed the situation for the upcoming battle.

It’s hard for two fists to take on four hands.

Throughout history, those who faced group fights, able to fend off and even counterattacks from multiple directions, were all master-level experts in Fighting Skills.

In the face of multiple attackers, even in those “fantasy” martial arts movies from the past life, the protagonists often were dividing the battlefield and tackling enemies one by one.
