Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Encounter with the Mad God Guild’s Powerhouses

Lin Ye searched the forest for over three hours, yet still found nothing.

“This is ridiculous… it’s really well hidden.”

Lin Ye was speechless.

Despite his vigorous efforts, there were no results.

“No wonder even though there’s known to be treasure here, few of the Third and Fourth Transformation experts come…”

“They probably already know that the treasure here isn’t easy to find.”

The truly strong always have very sharp intelligence.

They must have known long ago that the treasure in this forest isn’t easy to obtain.

Over the years, countless Professionals have died in the forest, but there will always be some strong ones who tread as if on flat ground inside the forest.

And these people have not been able to find the treasure.

This indicates that without special means, the treasure cannot be found.

Therefore, most people with self-awareness naturally won’t waste their time coming here.

The rest are those who are out of touch but have blind confidence in their strength, entering the forest for a chance.

As for Lin Ye, as a Holy Professional, he didn’t particularly understand Shadowless Forest in his previous life, and now he entered relying on his True Sight Talent.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected for him…

The ’Shadow Treasure Pearl’ didn’t seem to care about his abilities, stubbornly refusing to reveal itself under his penetrating gaze.

This left him puzzled.

How did Yuan Danqing find the Shadow Treasure Pearl in his previous life?

Lin Ye frowned slightly…

At this moment, he suddenly looked up.

“It’s that guy again…”

Lin Ye frowned, somewhat displeased.

Someone was attacking his crows, and it wasn’t the first time!

This was the twentieth crow he had lost since entering the forest.

And all at the hands of the same person.

But this act by the other person can’t be said to be unreasonable.

After all, those crows are the eyes Lin Ye sent out…

Who wants to be under someone else’s surveillance all the time?

It’s understandable for the other person to shoot down your crows.

However, this person was somewhat excessive.

It even made Lin Ye feel he was deliberately targeting his crows.

After thinking it over, Lin Ye decided it was better to have a frank discussion with the other party.

…

“Another Mechanical Crow!”

A guy with a scar on his face put down his longbow, sneering as he spoke.

“Captain, controlling that many Mechanical Crows, they must not be any weaker than you…” someone next to him said.

Obviously, in the eyes of many, the strength of professions like Mechanic and Puppet Master is proportional to the number of puppets they can control.

A powerful Mechanic can surely control more puppets!

“What are you worried about? Anyone who comes in here isn’t dumb—I just want to lure him out for cooperation,” the Archer said dismissively.

“That’s right! This forest is so vast, why not cooperate with us?”

“A Mechanic’s combat power isn’t strong, cooperating with us would be complementary!”

Hearing their teammates’ words, the guy said again, “But what if they also have a team?”

Upon hearing this, his teammates laughed.

As if finding his question somewhat ridiculous.

“What nonsense are you talking about? If they have a team, all the more I need to take down their crows; in the wilderness, there’s no logic you’ll hear about?” the captain said dismissively.

“Right! I always say, taking care of newcomers is the worst!”

“If you’re so timid, don’t be a Professional, just go home and sleep!”

The other team members also started to jeer.

The guy stopped speaking.

“Here they come again!”

At this moment, their captain seemed to have sensed something, quickly turned around, drew his bow and aimed in a certain direction with a swift, smooth motion.

“Hold on! I’m here to negotiate.”

Just then, a crow landed on a tree branch, and a voice came through.

This voice was somewhat hoarse and deep.

“Finally willing to show yourself!” The captain sneered a few times and said, “I have only one request, which is for you to cooperate with me to find the Dark Treasure Pearl, otherwise, I will destroy every one of your Puppet Crows I see!”

“Forget it, you can die now.”

The crow’s red eyes flickered as the hoarse voice came again.

“You dare!”

The Archer seemed surprised by the firm attitude of the other party and immediately said, “I’m with the Mad God Guild, do you dare to oppose me?”

In the distant forest, Lin Ye slightly raised his eyebrows.

The Mad God Guild, the strongest guild of the present time, led by a legendary Hundred-level Professional, incredibly powerful.

No wonder this Archer is so arrogant.

After all, the reputation of the Mad God Guild is enough to scare away most adventurers.

But this Archer obviously overestimated the influence of Mad God, or rather, he had become reliant on the benefits he previously reaped under the guild’s name, addicted to the false prestige the ’Mad God’ aura afforded him.

“Come out!”

The Archer was still bragging, but he suddenly raised his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

The arrow shot out like a dragon, aimed straight at the heavens!

But this menacing arrow halted in mid-air in an instant, seemingly frozen.

And in front of the arrow appeared a human figure.

Lin Ye couldn’t help but be amazed that this Archer truly lived up to being from such a top-tier guild; his strength was indeed formidable.

He had just moved over, yet the Archer immediately sensed it!

If Lin Ye hadn’t used the Rule Coin before coming, this would have been a truly life-and-death situation.

As it stands now, it is the Archer who should die.

Seeing his arrow stopped in mid-air, the Archer was also somewhat astonished.

He finally realized that he seemed to have provoked someone he shouldn’t have.

“Let’s say it was all a misunderstanding…”

He immediately softened, trying to ease the tension.

However, the other party just made a gesture, and the arrow immediately flew back toward him.

The Archer reacted quickly, his body turning into an afterimage, swiftly dodging away, and the arrow that flew back sank into where he had stood, vanishing without a trace.

In the sky, Lin Ye watched everything and couldn’t help but commend it.

Such Body Technique is indeed top-notch.

But the stronger this Archer is, the less he can be left alone!

The Archer dodged the arrow and knew very well now that the other party came with the intent to kill, leaving no chance for reconciliation.

He thought about running away directly.

But at this moment, he felt the space around him tremble slightly, and his current position suddenly seemed to be crushed by a massive force, collapsing abruptly.

And like that, the Archer disappeared from everyone’s view.

All of this happened in a flash, and the surrounding onlookers instinctively looked towards the collapsed area, only to find the Archer crushed into an unrecognizable mix of blood and flesh, colors of red, white, yellow, black, and green mingling together.

He was killed with a single blow!

As they looked up at the figure in the sky, everyone couldn’t help but swallow hard.

This guy…

Is unreasonably strong!
