Li Qiuzhi also retreated. There was no other way. If he was any later, he would become a meat paste.

Li Qiuzhi and his group who suddenly appeared were also discovered by the treasure-stealing group. Aoun said:

"Boss, there are other people here!"

"I see. I'm not blind." Johnick stroked the stubble on his chin, thought for a moment and said, "Come on, let's follow them. We can't let others know what's happening here."

"Yes, boss!"

After Li Qiuzhi and the other two ran to a higher place, they breathed a sigh of relief. They were out of the perception range of the ruins guards and they should not be attacked here.

What on earth were the treasure-stealing group doing in there? Why did the Wutai Ruins Guards show up?

".Wow, that's terrible!"

After being put down by Noelle, Wei'er patted her chest with lingering fear.

"I'm sorry, Miss Weier, my actions were a bit rude," Noelle said a little embarrassedly.

She was talking about her action of carrying Wei'er and retreating due to an emergency situation. From Li Qiuzhi's perspective, Wei'er's posture at that time was indeed not very elegant.

“I almost became Weil-chan, why should I care about my image? It’s better to say that you saved me again, Noelle!”

Weier tried to wipe away the non-existent tears from her eyes to prove that what she said was true. She was really moved.

"Pfft."

Hearing what Weier said, Noelle covered her lips with her hands and couldn't help but smile.

Li Qiuzhi shifted his gaze from the two of them and looked towards the bottom of the Thousand Winds Temple. At this moment, the Ruins Guardian stopped rotating and sweeping its body after losing its target, and instead wandered below.

Gradually his eyes lit up. Li Qiuzhi was very familiar with the ruins guards. The "eyes" on their heads were their core. They could be paralyzed by simply blowing them up.

These are all experience points.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the wooden hunting bow in his hand, and was a little unsure whether it had the power to break the core of the ruins guard. Moreover, there were five of them, and if he attacked one of them, he might be locked by the other four.

He didn't want to try their missiles.

In the game, the background setting of the Ruins Guard is actually Kanreya's tiller. Well, the "tillage" that opens up the borders and territories, but what lies ahead of it is blood and fire.

I really don't know what to say about this.

When Li Qiuzhi was complaining in his heart, he suddenly realized that the treasure-stealing group had disappeared and they ran away so quickly.

Looking at these Ruins Guards, even Noelle's shield wouldn't last long if they were attacked at the same time. For safety's sake, it would be better not to attack them for now.

Just as he turned around to look at the two girls, he caught a glimpse of a sharp cold light shooting towards his leg out of the corner of his eye.

Time seemed to have stopped, or his thoughts were speeding up. He only felt his body stiffen out of his control.

Damn it, it’s over!

Li Qiuzhi watched helplessly as he was about to be shot by a crossbow arrow.

"Danger, be careful!"

A sweet voice that could give people a sense of security just by hearing it came into Li Qiuzhi's ears.

Noelle's soft lips opened slightly, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness. She was just talking to Wei'er when she realized that Li Qiuzhi was in danger. She instinctively opened her arms, and the elemental power of rock surged, opening her heart armor to block Li Qiuzhi.

Bang!

The sharp crossbow arrow collided with the semi-transparent breastplate like an egg hitting a stone, and was bounced away as if in a joke, falling on the grass.

Huh~ Li Qiuzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation.

Fortunately, Noel was there. If he was injured, he wouldn't even have Mora to treat him. He looked past Noel in front of him and looked in the direction where the crossbow arrow was coming from.

They were dressed as ordinary vagrants, and there were six of them in the group. They must be the treasure-stealing group from before!

"Boss, it's the Eye of God!"

There was a slight tremor in the voice of the person who spoke.

Ornn followed Jonnick. The boss had asked him to shoot the crossbow arrow just now. In Jonnick's opinion, Li Qiuzhi, as the only male among the three, was probably the strongest person in the group.

Get rid of him first, and the rest will be easier.

But he didn't expect that the girl in maid costume was actually the owner of the Eye of God! Ornn admitted that he was a little panicked.

Jonnick shouted angrily:

"Idiot! What's there to be afraid of? She's just a little girl. So what if she has divine eyes?"

Johnny is a middle-aged man with brown hair parted on both sides, a tanned complexion, and a rather serious expression.

Although he said that there was nothing to be afraid of, his years of experience in the martial arts world made him realize that no matter how young he was, he needed to be cautious when facing the owner of the God's Eye who could control elemental power.

If you are not careful and get hit by the powerful elemental force, you will be finished. How can the human body withstand the power of the elements?

However, when he thought about what he got from the ruins, Jonnick's nervous mood relaxed a lot.

"Hey! Who are you? Why are you here? Are you following us?!"

Jonnick asked Li Qiuzhi and the other three with a fierce momentum.

"Huh?" Wei'er was so amused that she was pissed. She had failed in her sneak attack but he actually bit back, "It's none of your business. The Thousand Winds Temple is owned by your family. You can't take risks here, right?"

"Who would risk hiding aside and secretly watching others? You must be planning something!"

Buck is a young man with short yellow hair. He is a pharmacist in the treasure-stealing group and is good at using and making powerful fire element potions.

Li Qiuzhi lowered his eyes slightly, frowned and thought.

The current situation is probably that the treasure-stealing group is wary of Noelle, but they are not afraid of her, which shows that they have some confidence to deal with her.

According to the information provided by Weier, this group of treasure thieves are all ordinary people.

The two with feather ornaments on their hats are crossbowmen, the two standing a little further back are pharmacists using elemental potions, and the fatter one holding a shovel is a gravedigger.

Their purpose was to find the holy relics. Li Qiuzhi glanced at the leader of the treasure-stealing group. Could it be that they really found it?

What kind of holy relic gave them the confidence to face the Eye of God that controls the power of elements?

Li Qiuzhi felt that they were bluffing. Based on his understanding of the holy relics from the game, the holy relics did provide significant bonuses to the holders, but the prerequisite was that the holders' own basic strength was very good.

Otherwise, you are a weakling. Even if you are given a five-star fully enhanced relic with nearly half the attack power, wouldn't you still be a weakling?

"So what do you want?" Li Qiuzhi, who was hiding behind Noel, looked at the treasure-stealing group with dissatisfaction.

Please collect, vote, and read! Please! (Hey!)

Chapter 18 Difficulties for Both Sides

In the Thousand Winds Temple, on top of the hill, Li Qiuzhi and his men were confronting the members of the treasure-stealing group.

Jonnick felt like they were stuck in a dilemma. The holy relic was already in their hands, and they could have just evacuated, but they found something more valuable inside the ruins.

If he took this news back to tell Lord Monster Bird, he could at least become the second-in-command of the treasure-stealing group in the Mond area.

But they happened to be seen by these adventurers. If they go back and report the abnormal situation here to the Adventurer's Association, there is a high possibility that the ruins will be exposed.

It will be difficult to get the benefits then.

Therefore, these people must be kept, so Jonnick raised his strong arms and said:

"Everyone, we can't let anyone know that we found the ruins. How about you guys leave after we finish dealing with things here?"

"You want to restrict our actions? You may be overthinking it."

Li Qiuzhi looked at him strangely.

His strength might be a little lacking, but with Noelle here, she can easily take these guys down!

"Boss, why are you still talking? I don't believe that the Eye of God alone can stop us!"

Vig raised the crossbow and aimed at Li Qiuzhi and the others, speaking impatiently.

Wei'er, whose knee was injured, quickly hid behind Li Qiuzhi. She couldn't help much in her situation.

Li Qiuzhi frowned and held the bow and arrow cautiously, ready to fight at any time.

If he had not been ambushed just now and had not had the lack of combat experience to sense the danger instinctively, it would not have been difficult for him to dodge the crossbow arrows if he was prepared, relying on his enhanced physical fitness.

Jonnick stretched out his hand to block the direction that Vig was aiming. He also knew that these adventurers would not agree so easily, so he persuaded them again:

"You should see the situation clearly. There are six of us, all of us have powerful weapons. If we really start fighting, the result is self-evident!"

What nonsense are these treasure-stealing gangs talking about? They really think they can fight Noel... Li Qiuzhi was speechless.

Noelle's fair face looked rather solemn. She had summoned the gorgeous West Wind Greatsword and was holding it in her hand. She would not simply believe the nonsense of the treasure-stealing group.

Although Noelle is powerful, there are six people on the opposite side after all, and she may not be able to protect him and Weir.

Li Qiuzhi silently invested 98 experience points in the skill [West Wind Archery·Basics] to raise it to Lv.2.

At the same time, some knowledge about using archery appeared in my mind, as if I had practiced it for a long time. I didn't feel unfamiliar at all and could exert the maximum power of the current level at any time.

The remaining experience on the character panel is only enough to improve [West Wind Archery·Basics]. Any improvement in strength is better, so that if a fight really comes, at least I will have a better chance of success.

Although he was very confident in Noelle's ability, he still had to make some preparations.

"In that case, don't blame us for not giving you face!" Jonnick's eyes were sharp. He waved his hand and said, "Catch them!"

"It's the boss!"

Vig couldn't wait to shoot the crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows cut through the air and hit Noel's rock element shield one by one, but they were all bounced off and had no effect.

"It's no use, Boss. This turtle shell is too hard!"

Vig said dejectedly.

Li Qiuzhi and Wei'er were both behind Noel. The treasure-stealing group could not attack them at all, so they were not afraid of their crossbows.

Before Noel's shield was broken, the treasure-stealing group didn't dare to come closer. Didn't they see that terrifying sword? Daring to get close would be tantamount to seeking death.

But this is also very passive.

After all, Noel was also concerned that if he took the initiative to rush forward to attack, then Weir, who had a knee injury and was a little inconvenient to move, might become the target of the treasure thieves.

So Li Qiuzhi had to create an opportunity to take Weir away from the battlefield, and then let Noel use the invincible sweep.

Therefore, taking advantage of the gap in the treasure-stealing group's attack, Li Qiuzhi used the newly upgraded level 2 West Wind Archery to shoot arrows at them continuously!

"asshole!"

The treasure-hunting group had no choice but to step back slightly to avoid the arrows, as their bodies were not able to withstand the arrows.

Time passed quickly.

Li Qiuzhi continued to attack them with arrows. He stretched out his right hand to the quiver on his back, but unexpectedly he caught nothing. It seemed that he had run out of arrows.

He put his hand down helplessly. This was the problem with bows and arrows: arrows were consumables and were limited.

The Thousand Winds Temple suffered a lot of losses on the way here, so the limited number of arrows were used up.

It seems that I have to practice swordsmanship as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to resort to hand-to-hand combat when I run out of arrows. Of course, with my strengthened body, even if I don't have any fighting skills, I can still not lose to these treasure-stealing guys in front of me in a one-on-one situation.

It can be said that even without weapons, Li Qiuzhi has considerable combat effectiveness simply relying on his excellent physical fitness.

Excellent physical fitness will naturally make people run faster.

Now those members of the treasure-stealing group have retreated a considerable distance in order to avoid Li Qiuzhi's attack, and they cannot attack him for a while. This is a good opportunity to escape!

Thinking of this, Li Qiuzhi quickly carried Wei'er on his shoulders, stepped back at an extremely fast speed and said:

"Ms. Noelle, I'll leave it to you now. Beat them up!"

……

"You guy, you are too arrogant!"

Hearing Li Qiuzhi's words, the blond Vig raised the crossbow and shot again. The crossbow arrows kept hitting Noel's chest armor, but were still bounced away meaninglessly.

The other crossbowman saw his companion attacking again, so he had to attack as well, trying to break the shield with the combined power of the two.

Unfortunately, they failed until they ran out of crossbow arrows.

"Mr. Adventurer, please leave it to me!" Noel nodded, kicked off his over-the-knee armored boots, and rushed towards the treasure-hunting group at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Seeing this situation, the treasure-stealing group was shocked and quickly dispersed. They had just seen how strong the girl's shield was.

Even the most powerful crossbow arrows are useless. Not to mention being hit, even being hit will cause injuries!

Therefore, we can only avoid the spotlight temporarily.
