◎Selna's Arrow◎

Everything makes sense now.

Why is he so good at archery and so agile? Because he is the child of the demon hunter Selna.

Why does he always seem absent-minded every time he fights with him? Because he inherited Selna's will to stop the war.

And why he was able to survive when he was thrown onto the Scarlet Island as an infant? Because the merciful Skeleton Mage Van Arnold picked him up and raised him.

"Collins." Xia Li felt her pronunciation was clear.

The guardian was stunned. "Collins, you said his name is Collins?"

Perhaps the guardian had never expected that Selna's child would ever see the light of day again. Suddenly learning that Collins was still alive, he couldn't believe it and held Xia Li's wrist tightly, fearing that she was just an illusion.

Xia Li understood the guardian's excitement about regaining his lost item, so she comforted him with a few words. After he calmed down, she told him about Collins' appearance, figure, and outstanding archery skills.

The guardian who had experienced many vicissitudes of life was fascinated by the story, as if he could never hear enough in his lifetime.

After saying the last sentence, the Guardian was still immersed in his thoughts of Collins. Xia Li didn't want to interrupt, but thinking about the players outside the temple still fighting the Rotten Elf King, and the Rotten Elf King was getting closer and closer to the royal city, she finally changed the subject.

"You mean that gigantic Elf King?" The Guardian's expression was filled with surprise, but then he chuckled in disdain. "It was merely a defeated foe of Selna. If it weren't for the kindness of Selna who spared it, how could it still be alive today? Child, in recognition of the great news you've brought me today, I grant you the mighty Arrow of Selna."

After saying that, he turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Soon, a bow and an arrow were taken out by the guardian.

At the same time, Xia Li also heard the system prompt sound.

[The temple guardian wants to give you the Arrow of Selna as a gift. Would you like to accept it?]

Accept it! You must accept it! Isn't this the purpose of her trip?

The bow and arrow in the guardian's hand disappeared instantly, and two more weapons immediately appeared in Xia Li's backpack.

There was no time to waste here any longer. After thanking him, Xia Li turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I heard several loud rumbling noises behind me.

The temple collapsed!

The towering temple collapsed layer by layer like a Lego toy without support. Accompanied by roars and raised dust, Xia Li saw the guardian standing in the center of the temple, smiling and waving at her.

Everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the battlefield.

The Rotten Elf King had more wounds on his body than before, which was obviously the result of the players fighting hard. However, this was far from enough. The health bar above the Elf King's head was still at more than 50%, and his movement speed was basically not affected by the wounds.

The most difficult thing is that they are only more than 10 kilometers away from the royal city.

It only takes a few minutes to travel more than 10 kilometers. What Xia Li has to do now is to shoot Selna's arrow into the Elf King's heart as the guardian said before the Elf King flattens the royal city.

It's easier said than done. But when Xia Li chased the Elf King all the way to his feet, she once again felt the gap between her and the monster.

There is a height difference of more than 100 meters. Even if she successfully flies to the sky with the flying scroll, the scroll can only help her reach a height of more than 50 meters at most. The heart of the Elf King is at a position of 70 or 80 meters. This means that she not only has to avoid the attack of the Elf King, but also has to shoot Selna's arrow with a 100% hit rate before the scroll expires!

Once they fail to seize the opportunity to shoot the arrow and there is a deviation in the angle, it will be difficult for them to turn the tide.

Although this was the outcome Xia Li least wanted to see, she was well aware of the Elf King's strength. If the Elf King released another wave of corpse poison while she was mid-air, using the flying scroll to bring her to such a high altitude, it would be difficult for her to find a chance to escape.

Well, it's just a death. At most, they can take away some of her things and gold coins. As long as she makes up her mind, she can completely imply that nothing happened.

She took the flying scroll and tore it open on the spot.

The floating light quickly gathered at her feet, and a thin and light scroll slowly pulled her up.

"Brother Xi, look, isn't that the boss's sister?" Steamed Fish spotted her with sharp eyes and pointed at Xia Li and shouted.

Baili Xi stared intently. What a guts! A fragile alchemist actually wanted to go up in the sky and fight monsters! Did he think he was immortal?

"Fool, you're really courting death." Baili Xi's face darkened, and he immediately turned on the headsets of several teammates, "Ice cream, cones, follow me!"

The two priests responded instantly and followed Baili Xi towards Xia Li.

After fighting the boss for such a long time, the players were already exhausted. In order to save their lives, they gradually distanced themselves from the Elf King and hid in the corner to fight guerrilla warfare. At this time, anyone who rushed to get close to the boss would become particularly conspicuous.

Xia Li became the most conspicuous person at the moment.

People say she is crazy. Now warriors and paladins dare not get too close to her for fear that they will be unable to escape when the Elf King releases his corpse poison. Where does she, a fragile alchemist, get the courage?

So more players teased her behind her back, mocking her for being so ungrateful, and some even turned on the video camera and pointed it at her with the mentality of watching the show.

The Elf King mainly attacks with spells, among which corpse poison has the greatest damage, but in addition to that, it also has some traditional physical attacks, such as directly hitting with its hands.

Despite its huge size, it was very fast. When a palm swung downwards, Xia Li almost couldn't dodge it.

She jumped from the scroll, and the Elf King's palm hit nothing under her feet. When the palm passed by, she immediately landed on the scroll and continued to fly upwards.

Baili Xi couldn't help but worry for her. He had originally planned to use his divine protection skills to protect her like he did in the dragon-slaying scene, but when he saw that she had escaped without any danger, he put down the priest's staff in his hand.

Naturally, the others were also terrified, thinking that she would be killed by that palm strike, but they didn't expect that she escaped by jumping. A group of players who were watching the excitement exclaimed that it was exciting and extremely enjoyable to watch.

The Elf King didn't expect his palm to miss, and his eyes were bloodshot. "You damned ant, you've angered me. I'm going to beat you into a pulp!"

As he said this, he slapped him again in the chest.

At this time, Xia Li had already flown high into the sky. The scroll under her feet could only keep her in the air for 10 seconds, after which she would begin to descend.

So what she has to do now is to seize the short 10 seconds to strike!

However, with a whoosh, a huge palm like an iron fan swooped down from above again.

The speed of her hand swinging was faster and more violent than before. The watching players were all worried for her, thinking that she might not be able to dodge it this time.

Baili Xi couldn't think of any other way for her to escape, so he waved his hand and said, "Prepare for divine protection!"

As soon as the order was given, the team members including Qingzhengyu who followed him raised their staffs at the same time.

Divine Protection is a powerful skill that protects teammates from any physical and spell damage, and the effect lasts for 8 seconds.

Baili Xi is very clear about her own strength. Under normal circumstances, her skills can guarantee a 95% hit rate, but it is different now. She is in the sky, and there is still a considerable distance between her and them on the ground. Distance affects the hit rate, so there is no doubt that the hit rates of several of them will decrease.

Once her skills miss, she will die at the hands of the boss.

He would not allow such a thing to happen, so everyone including him and the others had to activate their skills at the same time. With multiple insurances, her survival rate would be greatly improved.

However, he underestimated the effect of distance on the hit rate. Not to mention Ice Cream and the others, even he and Steamed Fish, who were both high-level players, all missed!

"President, we all missed!" Ice Cream turned his head hurriedly to look at him.

Baili Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and pick up the equipment she dropped."

At her current level, the cost of dying was high. They were powerless to stop the system draining away their gold and experience points, but if items were to be discovered, they would have a chance to retrieve them for her and return them to her as gifts, which would at least compensate her for the loss.

But just as he ran a few steps, he heard overwhelming shouts from behind him.

Looking up, she saw a transparent spherical shield protecting her.

"It's the big sister's protective brooch!" Qing Zhengyu knew what it was at a glance. She also used this prop when she slayed the dragon.

She saved her own life, but Qingzhengyu didn't expect that after such a long time since she slayed the dragon, she still hadn't used up the three chances of the brooch.

Qingzhengyu couldn't help but sigh. It was true that only people like the big brother's sister could keep the brooch. If it were him, he would probably have used it up in countless previous battles and explorations.

In the sky, the spherical shield directly blocked the Elf King's slap. A bright red number 0 appeared above Xia Li's head. Except for being a little shaky, Xia Li was protected in the light shield and was unharmed.

The scroll timer on the personal panel also enters a 3-second countdown.

She stepped on the soft scroll, pressed her body down slightly, and the moment she felt the scroll under her feet sinking, she leaped towards the Elf King's chest amid the exclamations of the players!

Screams erupted from the ground again.

But this time, the screams were not about how brave she was in leaping over 50 meters in the air, but about the fact that she actually grabbed a bow and an arrow while leaping!

What the hell is this?! The players were horrified. An alchemist was actually planning to use archery to attack the boss? This was too much.

It only took a short moment to fly forward, but even in that short moment, Xia Li brought herself closer to the Elf King's chest.

A little higher, a little closer! That way her arrow would have a better chance of hitting the Elf King!

Her body shot out in an upward arc in the sky, her posture was light, but the muscles on the strings had already been tensed, and her brain was highly tense at this moment. Xia Li quickly calculated the distance between herself and the Elf King, and she blocked out all the shouts and screams from below.

The feeling of falling brought by gravity was transmitted to her legs at some point, and Xia Li knew that her best chance had come!

The fingers that were holding the string loosened instantly, and Selna's arrow burst out like a holy light.

The next moment, Xia Li began to fall, and a system notification sounded in her ears: [Selna's arrow has hit the Rotten Elf King. Please protect your arrow, it will be destroyed in 10 seconds.]

Even the arrow needed to be protected? Xia Li was stunned. The temple guardian hadn't told her about this at all. She thought she'd win by simply shooting the arrow into the Elf King's heart, but she hadn't expected there to be a protective step.

What happened? The last flight scroll had been used up, and there were no more flying items in her backpack. She had finally worked so hard to get to this point, was she going to watch herself fail now?

No way! Xia Li took a deep breath. She would never give up until the last moment!
