Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 322

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment. Yun Yi and Li Yuetian exchanged a glance.

Finally, Li Yuetian broke the silence. He took out the communicator Lin Yue had given him, pulled up the mission map and detailed information on the "Deadwood Demons," and analyzed it: "The information says that Deadwood Demons usually live in groups, are good at disguise and ambush, and are weak against fire and powerful physical impacts. According to the map, their most recent activity area is concentrated in the valley wetlands about three kilometers to the northeast. I think we should concentrate our efforts on eliminating this main threat first."

Although Yun Yi was annoyed by Li Yuetian's bossy attitude, he knew that now was not the time to throw a tantrum, especially with Lin Yue watching from above.

He snorted, which was a tacit admission, but he still couldn't help but retort, "You talk a good game, but don't drag me down later."

Li Yuetian ignored his provocation and pointed to the map on the communicator: "We'll cut in from the edge of this stream. Water sources are often their active areas, and this will also prevent us from being surrounded too early in the dense forest. Let's go if there are no problems."

"Okay, okay, stop being so fussy." Yun Yi took the lead and walked towards the northeast.

Li Yuetian sighed, put away his communicator, and quickly followed, keeping a distance from him.

Lin Yue, perched in the tree, slightly opened one eye and chuckled as she watched the two awkwardly but ultimately determined figures begin to move.

Hopefully they can get along well. She then closed her eyes again, but her immense perception spread out like an invisible spider web, enveloping the vast forest.

She had already scanned the area; the task wasn't difficult, and the two of them could easily complete it with a little cooperation.

As you venture deeper into the forest, the light grows dimmer, the air becomes humid and stifling, and the ground beneath your feet is covered with a thick layer of humus that feels soft and spongy.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps and the occasional chirping of unknown insects could be heard. Both of them were on high alert, vigilantly observing everything around them.

Twisted tree roots, drooping vines, oddly shaped rocks... any slight movement of the wind is enough to make them tense.

"Hey, you bookworm," Yun Yi lowered his voice, his eyes scanning the dense forest in front of and to the sides, "where do you think those logs will come from?"

Li Yuetian didn't pay attention to his form of address: "According to the data, they prefer to approach from blind spots, such as tall tree canopies, dense bushes, or..."

Before Li Yuetian could finish speaking, several sharp thorns, like hardened dead branches, suddenly shot out from a seemingly harmless thicket of ferns to their left!

call out!call out!call out!

The sharp spikes aimed straight for their vital points!

"Watch out!" Li Yuetian reacted quickly, suddenly lunging to the right while shouting a warning to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi was equally quick; almost at the same time as Li Yuetian spoke, he ducked and rolled, narrowly avoiding the flying wooden spikes!

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

The wooden splinter was deeply embedded in the tree trunk behind where they had just been, and its end was still trembling slightly!

"You dare to ambush me! You're all dead!" Yun Yi roared, instantly pulling out his belt buckle.

"Henshin!" (Transformation!)

"Change Punch Hopper!"

A dazzling silver light shines, and Kamen Rider Kenjaku makes his appearance!

Li Yuetian also transformed almost simultaneously, becoming the blue-clad Final Knight, armed and on alert.

But the attack didn't stop! The fern patch shook violently, and with a "crack," five monsters—twisted and pieced together from dead wood, vines, and rotting branches, resembling short, thin human figures with eerie green light emanating from their eye sockets—screamed and pounced out! Their arms, like sharp, withered branches, lashed out to grab the two!

"Go to hell!" Yun Yi (Fist Locust) roared, fearlessly charging forward. His silver-white fist, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed into the withered tree demon charging at the front!

Bang! Crack! The seemingly withered body of the deadwood demon was a little harder than expected, but only a little. Clearly, the power of the fist locust was superior!

With a single punch, the chest of the withered tree demon shattered instantly, splinters flew everywhere, and it screamed as it flew backward, its body disintegrating and dissipating in mid-air!

"Well done!" On the other side, Li Yuetian praised his opponent while responding to the challenge. He did not engage in close combat with them, but calmly raised his gun and fired.

"Attack Ride! Blast!"

The blue light bullets accurately struck the knee joints of the three withered wood spirits! The withered wood spirits staggered and fell to the ground, and the final rider quickly inserted the ultimate card to fire a few more shots, completely shattering them!

At this moment, the last withered tree demon seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Li Yuetian from the side, its sharp wooden claws piercing straight into his back!

"Behind us!" Yun Yi shouted, instinctively wanting to rush over to help. But Zhong Qi seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, not even looking, and with a nimble sidestep, he dodged the claw attack, and at the same time, he swung his arm, and the butt of the Diend spear slammed into the side of the withered tree demon's head like a heavy hammer!

*Snap!* The withered tree spirit's head tilted to one side, its movements momentarily halted. The final rider reacted with lightning speed, pressing his gun to its body at point-blank range!

boom!

The light bullet pierced through, reducing the last withered tree demon to dust. The brief skirmish ended, leaving only wisps of decaying wood and remnants of energy at the scene.

"Hmph, not bad for your reflexes." Yun Yi deactivated his transformation, refusing to admit defeat, but inwardly he had to admit that Li Yuetian's moves were indeed clean and efficient.

"Likewise." Li Yuetian also deactivated his transformation and responded calmly, his gaze still scanning the surroundings warily. "This is just the vanguard. The withered wood demons are a group of creatures, and the commotion just now has likely alerted more."

His premonition soon came true. More "crunching" sounds came from the depths of the forest, growing louder as they approached, as if countless withered feet were treading on fallen leaves, and eerie green lights flickered like will-o'-the-wisps in the dim woods!

The number is increasing! Looking around, from behind trees, bushes, and even mounds of earth, a steady stream of dead tree spirits are emerging, quickly forming an encirclement, numbering at least forty or fifty!

"Tsk, this is big trouble!" Yun Yi's expression changed, and he prepared to step forward again. "Don't be impulsive!" Li Yuetian grabbed his arm and said quickly, "There are too many of them. It's unwise to fight them head-on! Their weaknesses are fire and area-of-effect damage! Follow me!"

He pulled Yunyi back quickly, moving towards a relatively open area with several huge rocks providing cover behind them, to avoid being attacked from both sides.

"What's your plan?" Yun Yi asked urgently, watching the approaching horde of withered tree demons. Li Yuetian didn't answer, but instead took out the K touchscreen of the Final Rider: "Don't they outnumber us? We have helpers too!"

He inserted the Divine Card into the K touchscreen: "One force can overcome all laws!"
