The height difference from the ground to the steps was about one and a half meters.
Zong Shen stepped forward on the simple wooden stairs.
He aimed the flashlight inside the house, just as he was about to step in.
The light in front of him suddenly showed a noticeable twist.
As if something had swiftly passed by.
A sense of warning rose in Zong Shen’s heart, his right hand gripping the [Hammer of Intracranial Roar] barring in front of him.
He sensed two subtle air currents blowing from left and right,
One air current came from the right, targeting his battle-helmeted head.
The other air current surged from the left-front, seemingly aiming at his chest.
Zong Shen instinctively tilted his head slightly.
"Ding!"
"Clang!"
[-136]
Two crisp sounds, one light and one heavy, echoed.
Simultaneously causing over a hundred points of damage.
A sharp black spike jabbed into his battle helmet and quickly withdrew.
Zong Shen felt a coolness on his cheek, as though blood was flowing.
This should be the source of the air current on the right,
Black spikes about 50 centimeters long, sharp at the front, appeared somewhat sinister.
Its original target was to attack Zong Shen’s eyes through the helmet’s eye slit.
If he hadn’t sensed it, tilted his head, he might have truly ended up blinded.
Even so, this impact almost penetrated the battle helmet, making him feel some shock to his head.
The other attack was also a black spike, but it didn’t attack Zong Shen himself.
Instead, it swiftly pierced the [Magic Power Flashlight] in his hand.
The light dimmed again.
Zong Shen instinctively swung the nail-head hammer in his hand but struck only air.
Indicating the two assailants have agility and reaction abilities superior to his perception.
Once the flashlight was damaged, Zong Shen fell into darkness.
The warriors behind him surged into the house at that moment.
Zong Shen squinted his eyes slightly, activating the Guide Module to change targets, locking onto the hostile targets inside the house.
Doris raised her hand, chanting, casting a Small Fireball toward one side of the house’s wall.
The fireball’s glow briefly dispelled the darkness inside.
Zong Shen had already locked onto two stealth targets according to the guide.
The situation inside the house was more complicated than they anticipated.
This house surprisingly had partitions, about one-third of the space was sectioned off by wooden walls.
There was even a simple wooden door.
Compared to other small wooden houses, there were many oddities here.
"Ji ji ji..."
In this tense moment, similar to little mice’s "ji ji" sound came from the partition.
The sound wasn’t very evident, but the highly alert Zong Shen still noticed it.
The Golden Circle Mark’s exact location was inside the partition.
However, at this moment, Zong Shen wasn’t concerned with the partition.
The two stealthy figures were still pacing inside the house.
Their speed was swift, at least Tier Four Assassin level mobility.
Not making any sound.
Only faint air currents proved they were still moving.
If Zong Shen couldn’t directly lock on using the Guide Module, determining their positions wouldn’t be an easy task.
Just as Doris’s fireball hit the wall, it exploded into a spark and extinguished.
The house and walls were covered with a lot of slime, dreaming of igniting it with just a small fireball.
Doris’s reaction was fast, already started chanting Flame Claw.
Others dared not make a reckless move.
Especially the Mages.
Magic Arrow or Magic Bullet was hard to target the elusive figures.
This wooden house was not suited for powerful magic attacks.
Zong Shen focused on locking onto those two rapidly moving figures.
This house was too large, they could always find suitable footholds.
Even more so when Zong Shen consciously approached.
"Open the door, enter the partition."
He decisively issued the order; securing the items inside this house was most crucial.
Everyone left, heading toward the partition’s wooden door.
Zong Shen remained in place, continuously rotating, locking onto those two figures’ positions.
As the group reached the partition door, the two figures suddenly stopped.
Ignoring everything, they rushed toward the wooden door, seemingly trying to prevent them from opening it.
At that moment, Zong Shen seemed to understand something.
His figure moved accordingly.
Previously, these two had no clear targets, capturing them was difficult.
Now knowing their motivation allowed Zong Shen to easily counterattack.
His steps moved lightly, his body swiftly sidestepping several meters.
The nail-head hammer in his hand viciously smashed toward one of the stealth targets.
"Puff!"
"Ji ji ji..."
A spray of bright red blood, the figure was directly knocked airborne.
[-192]
Zong Shen’s one-handed nail-head hammer was not easily endured.
The other stealth target circled from the side.
At this moment, the four Rodok soldiers had long prepared,
Raising square Great Shields assembling an un-tight Shield Wall.
Targets like these Assassin types, their greatest fear would be Heavy Infantry.
The figure Zong Shen knocked airborne took damage, fell to the ground several meters away.
Gradually revealing a not-so-clear black figure.
Undoubtedly, it was another Fishman.
However, of a high tier, reaching Commander Level.
The other black Fishman also couldn’t break through the Rodok soldiers’ defensive circle.
Helplessly retreated, revealing itself to support the injured Fishman.
Zong Shen held the nail-head hammer, choosing not to pursue.
The warriors behind him had already smashed open the wooden door with brute force.
To this, the two black Fishmen could only feel powerless.
This was simply an unequal fight.
"Ji ji ji!"
The other Fishman assisted the injured Fishman, simultaneously issuing unpleasant "ji ji" sounds to Zong Shen.
Apologies, Mr. Zong truly couldn’t understand!
He stepped forward, his gaze sharpened.
The two black Fishmen were also startled,
Retreating repeatedly, their foot fins pattering loudly against the ground.
