Dragon's Origin

Chapter 772: Snowfield Pursuit (Part 1)

"We?" There's more than one of them!

Wang Sheng's senses, combined with the spirit energy probing of the Seven Word Incantation, failed to detect a second person nearby. He only discovered the first one when they spoke. From the aura alone, Wang Sheng knew that the opponent was at least a legendary expert.

The opponent was a bit overconfident. In this icy and snowy environment, wanting to intimidate Wang Sheng from at least a hundred yards away? Did they think Wang Sheng would fall for that?

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely stop to be vigilant and prepare for battle, but Wang Sheng wasn't like that. Upon discovering the enemy's location, he turned the snowmobile around, activated his spirit energy, and spun the array stones to their maximum speed, driving frantically in the opposite direction.

The opponent didn't expect Wang Sheng to run without even a greeting. Everything they had planned was useless. Even the ambushers had to move quickly, otherwise, Wang Sheng would escape, and their ambush would be meaningless even if they waited another hundred or eighty days.

"Chase!" The first expert who spoke couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly ordered loudly, "Block them ahead!"

Following his command, more than a dozen snow holes suddenly appeared on the previously white snowfield, and more than a dozen figures shot out from below, chasing after Wang Sheng.

Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng instantly understood. Double-layered ice houses in the glacier basin could shield the aura of people inside, preventing powerful monsters outside from discovering them. This was originally a unique skill Wang Sheng taught to the various families. He didn't expect these bastards to use it against him instead.

They must have arrived long in advance, setting everything up early. They even used some unknown methods to smooth out the tracks on the snow, presumably to block him.

What Wang Sheng found strange was, who were these guys, and how did they know he was coming here? After all, that guy said they had been waiting for a long time as soon as he opened his mouth. Whether from his words or their actions, it showed that this was a premeditated action, not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Did he reveal his whereabouts in Song State? Wang Sheng thought about his experiences these days and shook his head secretly. He had been very careful along the way, using many of the infiltration and disguise techniques from Earth, so it was impossible for him to expose his identity. Otherwise, someone would have taken action in the Song family's capital, instead of waiting until here.

Of course, it was also possible that these guys wanted to take all the credit, so they saw through his disguise but didn't take action, judging his destination based on his route and ambushing him here in advance.

If that were the case, these people were definitely not from the Song family. The Song family would never give up their home advantage and come to this godforsaken place. As for the opponent's identity, it was nothing more than one or two of the other seven of the eight great families.

Right in front of Wang Sheng's snowmobile was a snow hole where an expert was lurking. Having just heard the leader's order, he rushed out directly.

However, Wang Sheng had already fully activated his Seven Word Incantation radar. The moment this person showed his head, Wang Sheng discovered his trace. He reached out, and the heavy sniper crossbow appeared in his hand. At such a close distance, Wang Sheng raised his hand and fired an arrow, not even needing to aim, treating the heavy sniper crossbow like a pistol.

Even though the opponent was prepared, he was still startled when he was greeted by a heavy arrow as soon as he emerged from the snow. He didn't care about blocking Wang Sheng and leaped to the side. The heavy sniper crossbow and heavy arrows were famous, and even legendary experts didn't dare to easily take an arrow.

Fortunately, he dodged quickly, and the heavy arrow grazed the bottom of the expert's boot, the arrowhead slicing the soft leather of the boot in half, and also detonating the array formation on the arrow.

Boom, the explosion at his feet blasted the expert several meters away, slamming heavily into the snow. Even though most of the explosive power had been absorbed by the boot padded with eighth-level monster bones, the shockwave couldn't be eliminated. For a moment, the expert couldn't get up to pursue.

In that short moment, Wang Sheng's snowmobile had quickly passed the expert, heading north and leaving more than a dozen experts behind.

Watching Wang Sheng and A'Qi ride away on a snowmobile, the dozen or so experts looked at each other. The leader who spoke first was furious and gave an order: "Chase!" He took out two skis and strapped them to his feet, holding two ski poles and quickly pushing himself to chase after them.

The Song family had seen Wang Sheng's snowmobiles and dirt bikes, but the other families hadn't. However, these people were also well-prepared. They must have learned how to survive and move in the snow before entering the glacier basin, even obtaining skis used by the northerners, one pair for each person.

With the legendary experts sliding desperately, their speed was not to be underestimated. In a short while, they caught up a lot, trailing behind by about a hundred yards. Wang Sheng's snowmobile, however, could no longer increase the distance.

"His heavy arrows can't hurt us!" The expert who had been hit by an arrow earlier also reacted at this time, and after catching up, he directly informed his companions. Although the arrow allowed Wang Sheng to escape, its power also made the expert completely understand that this level of damage couldn't do anything to experts of their level. As long as they continued to inject spirit energy into their protective suits, Wang Sheng couldn't do anything to them.

Wang Sheng certainly heard their words. In response, Wang Sheng simply had A'Qi steer while he sat behind the snowmobile, leisurely drawing the heavy sniper crossbow in front of the pursuing experts, loading a heavy arrow, and aiming directly at the fastest-chasing expert.

You guys said heavy arrows can't hurt you? Now let's test it and see if they can really hurt you. A hundred yards was exactly within the range where the heavy sniper crossbow was most powerful.

Swoosh, a heavy arrow flew out. The leading expert didn't say a word and immediately threw away a ski pole, a large metal square shield appearing in his free hand, firmly protecting his body.

Clang, as they felt the square shield in their hands vibrate violently, everyone heard the sound of the bowstring. The speed of this heavy arrow was even faster than the sound?

The arrowhead easily penetrated the metal square shield, which was a full inch thick, but before it touched the expert's body, the arrowhead exploded. Boom, another expert was knocked over by the explosive shockwave.

Due to the material, it was impossible to engrave protective formations on the metal shield, but it effectively blocked the explosion of the heavy arrow. However, this level of explosion was far from comparable to the power of the same explosion inside the body. The expert who was hit by the arrow was only knocked over, and immediately jumped up, full of energy. It really didn't hurt.

However, Wang Sheng's purpose was never to hurt people, but to block and reduce their speed, which he had now successfully achieved.
