Chapter 15: A Fierce Battle Against the Dark Elves!

The dark elves charged fiercely toward Han Xing. Their expressions were savage, and they uttered a series of complex syllables, yet strangely, Han Xing could understand their language.

In his mind, Han Xing silently counted.

“One... two...”

There were six dark elves in total.

Among them, one was a dark elf hunter, two were dark elf mages, two were dark elf warriors, and one was a dark elf cleric.

This lineup was truly formidable. At present, no human survivor could withstand this group of dark elves for two full rounds.

Han Xing took a deep breath.

If he engaged them head-on, he wouldn’t stand a chance against so many dark elves.

But he knew his advantage: his attack power far exceeded others of his level.

Compared to wild monsters, dark elves were noticeably weaker in defense.

Moreover, this group of dark elves did not coordinate well, which gave Han Xing an opening.

In the next moment, two arrows that had been prepared sprang forth instantaneously.

Double Shot!

Charged Power Strike!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two fastest dark elf warriors appeared unprepared for the sudden, immense power erupted by this seemingly weak human; the speed of the arrows left them no time to react.

Yet, these dark elf warriors were battle-hardened. In an instant, they made the best decision: to dodge sideways!

The next moment, the green-tinged iron arrows struck their targets.

One pierced the shoulder of a dark elf warrior, the other struck the abdomen of the other.

Fortunately, neither hit a vital spot.

The two warriors felt as if they had narrowly escaped death, then glared at Han Xing with rage.

“Damn human! I’ll chop off your head and use it as a chamber pot!”

Yet, a slight smile curled at Han Xing’s lips.

Did these two think they were safe just because the arrows missed vital points?

They didn’t know that his iron arrows had been coated with green mamba venom…

Now, the neurotoxin was seeping into their bodies through the wounds, beginning to take effect.

Sure enough, the next moment, the faces of the two dark elf warriors changed drastically.

They suddenly felt a tingling numbness radiating from the wounds, their surrounding flesh rapidly blackening and bruising, spreading quickly.

Terrified, the two warriors shouted loudly, “Cunning human! You actually poisoned your arrows...”

Their weapons clattered to the ground, their fighting strength drained.

---

At that moment, a wooden arrow and a fireball shot simultaneously from afar.

It was the dark elf hunter and mages, who had finished charging their attacks while Han Xing dealt with the two warriors.

The two attacks rapidly grew larger before him, coming from tricky angles.

In this critical moment, Han Xing ducked sharply.

The wooden arrow whistled overhead, but the fireball was unavoidable.

Bang!

The fireball exploded in front of Han Xing’s chest, scorching his python skin coat black.

The blast's force sent him tumbling back several meters.

Han Xing quickly steadied himself, silently thanking his luck.

Thankfully, he had crafted this beast-hide coat before the battle.

Otherwise, this fireball alone would have left him gravely wounded.

Whoosh!

As he stood, Han Xing released another arrow from his bow.

The dark elf mage who had just launched the fireball attack hadn’t expected such a swift counterattack.

Before he could react, the arrow pierced through his forehead and out the back of his head.

The dark elf mage’s body went limp and collapsed.

The remaining dark elves glared with fury, desperate to kill Han Xing immediately.

“My holy light…”

The dark elf cleric raised a wooden warhammer, gathering a radiant glow, seemingly attempting to heal the poisoned warriors and dispel the toxins within them.

But Han Xing would never allow that.

When life was threatened, humans could awaken unprecedented power, just as Han Xing had now entered his battle state.

His mind raced, simultaneously evading the dark elves’ ranged attacks while focusing on his skill panel.

At this moment, the five-second cooldown on Double Shot had just elapsed.

Two arrows instantly materialized in his hands as he drew the bowstring taut.

“Go!” Han Xing whispered sharply.

Thud! Thud!

Both arrows struck the dark elf cleric’s body.

Though clad in wooden plate armor, it was as fragile as paper against Han Xing’s overwhelming force.

Both arrows hit true, and the dark elf cleric died instantly.

A one-shot kill!

This was the current strength of Han Xing’s attack.

With 12 points in agility, 9 in strength, and a rare-quality green longbow, he possessed the power to instantly kill level-2 monsters.

---

In the blink of an eye, four dark elves had fallen.

On the battlefield, only one dark elf mage and one dark elf hunter remained, both seeming dazed.

Neither had expected the battle to turn so quickly.

What had been a dominant advantage was now overturned by this human hunter’s skill and reflexes, far beyond their expectations.

When Han Xing’s sharp gaze swept over them, these ruthless dark elves instinctively took a step back.

Yet, the deep-seated hatred in their bones robbed them of reason once more.

“Human... die!”

The two dark elves launched their attacks simultaneously.

But Han Xing’s bow and arrows were faster.

Though he absorbed another volley from the dark elf mage, Han Xing’s arrow found its mark in the dark elf hunter.

At this point, the battle’s outcome was sealed.

When the last dark elf mage fell, the fight ended, and a system notification appeared.

【Killed Dark Elves *6, gained 120 experience.】

【You have destroyed a small dark elf territory; elf faction favorability +1.】

Han Xing sat on the ground, gasping heavily.

Though the battle seemed brief, it had drained much of his stamina and spirit.

He felt nearly exhausted.

“Elf faction favorability? What’s that?”

When Han Xing played on his phone before, no such favorability system had appeared.

“Could it be a new feature unique to this world?”

Han Xing stood and surveyed the chaotic battlefield, breathing a sigh of relief.

“Though perilous, it was all worth it!”

He approached the dark elf corpses and attempted to disassemble them.

But the system displayed a different message.

【Humanoid creatures cannot be disassembled. (Tip: You can search their bodies; there might be unexpected surprises.)】

Cannot be disassembled? The latter part meant he could search their bodies?

Han Xing pondered briefly, then accepted it.

After all, dark elves resembled humans too much; even if he broke them into pieces, he couldn’t bring himself to consume such remains.

So, he crouched down and began searching through the dark elf corpses.
