CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 78: TARGETED_2

"Elf Shooter?"

Shen Yun pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "Brother Xing, are you sure you want to change to this profession?"

However, this question was also something Han Xing was considering,

the hidden profession scroll he opened last time was indeed quite strong.

But Han Xing always had Wild Ranger on his mind.

This is because, while playing Sky Island Paradise on his phone, he heard the NPCs mention it.

——

In that primordial era, when life first gained intelligence, a group of terrifying creatures inhabited the world, dominating it entirely.

These creatures were as large as stars, opening their giant mouths brought about catastrophic disasters, killing countless lives.

To grow, these creatures would devour large amounts of life, turning the world into their breeding ground, harvesting waves of life for meat, livestock, and breeding tools, enduring an endless life of darkness.

The living beings of the world referred to these creatures as: Beasts.

Until five hundred years later.

In the vastness of the world, a man draped in feathered clothes, with a wild figure, appeared.

This man knew neither race, nor name, nor past.

His gaze was piercing, flickering with the flame of wildness and courage.

His voice flowed from the fountain of the soul, echoing across the land, resonating with the barriers of heaven and earth.

His arrows, like a wolf pack running in the cold wind of the night, unstoppable!

And it was this man who resolutely fired the first arrow at the Beast!

He shattered the notion in all beings’ hearts that the Beast was invincible.

From then on, the wise beings of the Holy Spirit Realm embarked on their path of resistance against the Beast.

He was the first Hunter of the world, the embodiment of free will, the Wild Ranger!

——

At that time, just hearing this background story, Han Xing felt that Wild Ranger had an unparalleled sense of prestige.

Compared to the other hidden profession, ’Elf Shooter’, Wild Ranger was clearly stronger.

But to trigger the conditions for changing to Wild Ranger, it was both simple and complex.

One simply needed to hold the Chapter of Freedom and perform a certain ritual under the full moon to summon the Wild Ranger Spirit and inherit its will.

The key to this profession change condition lay in the ’Chapter of Freedom’.

Han Xing speculated that the Chapter of Freedom was a kind of quest item, but he currently had no leads.

He decided to try his luck in the transaction channel shortly.

However, before he could enter the transaction channel, he suddenly heard Cheng Jianyong exclaim in the discussion group.

"Quick, look at the chat channel, someone’s causing trouble for Brother Xing!"

"Causing trouble for Brother Xing? Who is it?" Shen Yun hurriedly asked.

Han Xing also frowned slightly when he heard this.

He clicked into the chat channel and immediately saw the overwhelming messages.

"@Star River, come out and talk!"

"@Star River, Star God come out and respond, what’s really going on, is what Divine Whisper said true?"

"@Star River, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!"

"..."

Han Xing frowned, confused about what was happening.

He didn’t seem to have done anything, so why were so many people in the local network denouncing him?

At this time, Han Xing noticed that most of the people talking were from the team of Divine Whisper.

What tricks are these guys up to again?

At this point, another big team from area 107, the Plane Boy Group, came forward to ask.

"Brothers of Divine Whisper, what’s going on, what did Star River do to you?"

With someone leading, other onlookers also began to ask.

"Yeah, what’s going on, you’re not being clear, Divine Whisper."

"Eating melon eating melon, selling melon seeds, cola, and mineral water in the front row."

"Explosive news, the grudges and love affairs between the number one team and number one person in area 107!"

...

Everyone was very curious about why Divine Whisper, as the largest group in area 107, suddenly targeted Star River, the number one figure in area 107, and it seemed quite serious.

At this time, someone named Bright Moon from Divine Whisper spoke up, he seemed to be an important figure in Divine Whisper.

Bright Moon: "Let me explain what happened."

"Last night, we suddenly received news that several brothers in our team lost contact."

"Then soon after, the names of these brothers all turned black."

"You should all know what this means."

Names turning black signifies that a Survivor has died.

The crowd realized the seriousness of the matter.

Bright Moon continued: "We initially thought they had encountered some monster, but later, after investigating, we found out that someone had secretly attacked them!"

Bright Moon’s tone was very cold, shocking the onlookers in the 107 channel.

They seemed to draw some connection.

Could it be...

At this moment, Bright Moon continued: "Presumably, everyone has guessed, the person who attacked our brothers, was Star River!"

"Last night, at least seven or eight brothers were victimized by Star River!"

"What!?"

After Bright Moon finished speaking, other Survivors in the chat channel were extremely shocked.

"Is this true?"

"Star River actually killed so many people?"

"..."

Before this, everyone still maintained their civilized society habits, relatively restrained.

Even those with ill intentions dared not publicly bring such matters to the table.

Otherwise, they would face everyone’s targeting and ostracism, or worse, everyone’s pursuit.

But today, it was the first time they heard someone openly accuse another of killing other Survivors!

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

At this time, other Survivors began to ask: "Brothers of Divine Whisper, such words cannot be carelessly said, all claims must be backed by evidence."

"You say Star River killed your Divine Whisper people, do you have any proof?"

At this moment, the people from Divine Whisper suddenly paused for a moment.

Then, the Survivor named Bright Moon sneered and said, "Of course we have evidence."

"If you have evidence, then show it, don’t just rely on words." Someone asked.

"Yes, yes," other Survivors echoed.

Bright Moon continued: "Please be patient, our leader will personally provide you with the evidence."

Not long after Bright Moon finished speaking.

The Whisperer directly appeared: "Hello, fellow Blue Stars, I am the leader of Divine Whisper, Whisperer."

"My brothers just said some overly strong words, I apologize here."

"But also, please understand their feelings, our Divine Whisper is a united family, everyone who comes in is a brother or sister."

"Now, seeing their brothers being persecuted by other villains, the pain in their hearts, I believe you can also feel."

The Whisperer’s tone was very sad, and also carried a hint of anger.

"I, Whisperer, can by my persona swear, it was Star River who killed our brothers!"

"As for why, follow me to watch a video."

The Whisperer shared a video file in the chat channel.

Everyone opened it to watch.

It revealed Han Xing standing on the roof of a castle building, shooting arrows, headshotting the first Mage.

But this video seemed to have been edited, almost no footage of those people’s attacks was included.

From the video, they could only see Han Xing shooting and killing these people, scene by scene.

After the video played, the crowd remained silent for a long time.

At this time, someone cautiously asked, "Leader Whisperer, are you sure that person is Star River?"

The Whisperer did not respond directly, instead said: "Presumably everyone recognized that castle, it was the blueprint Star River exchanged from my hands, at the current stage, it should be the only one, coupled with everyone knows Star River is a Hunter profession."

"With this information, I can confirm, without a doubt, the person is Star River!"

After listening to the Whisperer’s analysis, the crowd began to harbor suspicion that the person in the video was indeed Star River.

Could it be... Star River really killed so many from Divine Whisper?

...
