Chapter 89: Ambush!

Alvis, with his two companions, reached the second floor and confirmed that Li Wei and his team were still there.

"I told you there was no problem. At the speed we followed, they couldn't have cleared all the monsters so quickly. Let's keep moving up. Everyone, be careful and don't get discovered prematurely. It's best to wait until they're in the midst of a tough battle, then suddenly attack, catching them off guard!" Alvis explained his plan.

There was nothing special about it, but often, the simplest methods were the most effective.

Attacking when the target was engaged with other enemies, at the most intense and dangerous moment, could cause enough damage in an instant to crush a small team.

After reaching the second floor and seeing the aftermath of the battle, they did not linger and continued on to the third floor.

The fourth floor was also cleared, so they proceeded to the fifth floor.

As they advanced towards the fifth floor of the building, at the corner of the staircase, they heard a noise.

Although the sound was very faint, as high-level monster hunters, they still caught it.

"That's the sound of a gun with a silencer." Alvis instantly made a judgment.

Wang Lang said confidently, "That's right! They're clearing the monsters in the building, so they can't make too much noise to avoid attracting more enemies. That's why they're being so careful."

Boyan also said, "Looks like it's stable! We shouldn't delay. Judging from their current situation, they probably haven't finished the battle yet. Let's hurry over and we might still be able to ambush them from behind!"

"Then let's go quickly."

The three of them quickened their pace and soon reached the end of the stairs.

The door in the stairwell was open, which reassured them. They didn't have to push the door, nor worry about making any noise to alert the enemy. This was excellent.

Wang Lang took the lead, with Alvis right behind him and Boyan at the rear. The team's combat skills were still good. Even in this situation, they maintained their formation well, without any chaos.

Exiting the stairwell, they followed the sound of the battle towards a clothing store on the south side of the building.

All three of them were a little impatient. Another hunt was about to begin, and they were even imagining the desperate look in the eyes of those ignorant Four-Leaf Clover hunters as they faced death, which was enough to make them excited and bloodthirsty.

But as the leader, Alvis still harbored some vigilance in his heart.

"Something's not right." Alvis stopped his two companions from advancing further.

"What else could be wrong? Let's go up quickly! If we don't hurry, they'll finish the fight!" Wang Lang said unconcernedly.

He was about to continue forward when Alvis stopped him. "Something's off about the situation. There are too few gunshots..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden rush of wind came from behind them!

It was a Red Lotus Arrow from Ban De Rui!

Alvis, who was already alert, reacted the fastest. As soon as he sensed something was wrong, he became cautious. When the disturbance occurred, he immediately dodged.

However, his other two companions were not as quick in their reflexes as he was.

At the moment of the attack, they were completely unable to dodge and could only withstand the impact in place.

Boyan urgently constructed an orange-red light band around him, while Wang Lang, using force chain evolution, had no choice but to protect his face with his hands and brace for impact.

The Red Lotus Arrow exploded.

The thunderous explosion swept over the area where the three of them were. Alvis, who had dodged out, rolled on the ground. Although he was pushed and hit the wall by the shockwave, he was not seriously injured. With a slight effort, he adjusted his body balance and entered a state of alertness for battle.

The other two didn't look as comfortable.

Ban De Rui's Red Lotus Arrow was indeed a range-type bombing skill. However, his initial target was Boyan, the Evolver with the chain evolution, who was the easiest to kill and the most threatening.

The arrow, prepared for a long time, could not have missed its target with Ban De Rui's skill level. If it weren't for the orange-red light band, Boyan would probably have been hit directly by the arrow, then blown to pieces by the subsequent energy explosion.

But even now, his condition was not good.

The orange-red light band shattered in the instant of the explosion. Behind the light band, Boyan himself was in an extremely miserable state.

He was blasted several meters away in mid-air and stopped only when he hit the wall. The intense burning sensation and the physical damage from the explosion made him very painful. He felt that his upper body was severely burned, and even several ribs might have been broken.

It was already difficult for him to stand up now.

On the other hand, Wang Lang's situation was much better. His resistance to impact was already stronger than Boyan's, and since the core of the attack was not aimed at him, although he did not manage to dodge the damage completely, he only took a few steps back from the force of the explosion and stabilized his posture.

Although his arms and the exposed parts of his body were burning from the power of the Red Lotus Arrow, leaving him soot-covered, his combat strength remained.

"Damn it! We've been tricked!"

Wang Lang roared, the smoke had not yet dissipated, and he was already looking around for the movements of the enemies who had attacked them.

He saw Ban De Rui, who had reloaded another arrow, but he didn't have the energy to deal with the archer, because Will, wielding his iron fists, was already closing in.

The iron fist gleamed with a metallic light as Will ran, stretching his body to its fullest, and delivered a heavy blow directly towards Wang Lang!

Wang Lang's combat experience was certainly richer than Will's, and he had opened his genetic lock for a longer time. Will's punch was not enough to pose a fatal threat to him. He grabbed the handle of the large sword behind him, pulled it out forcefully, and slashed directly at Will's waist.

Will turned his fist downwards, clashing it against the spine of the sword, blocking the blow. At the same time, he moved his body to the side, evading the force of the horizontal slash, and his iron claws grabbed towards Wang Lang's throat.

"Dream on!" Wang Lang's eyes were filled with madness! Unable to retrieve his heavy sword in time, he tucked his head and charged straight into Will's arms!
