While the knife-throwing hand was flying, it had already turned on its ancestral form.

The ears become pointed and the hair turns green.

Transform into an elf in the jungle, and your agility attributes will be greatly enhanced.

There is no sound of footsteps, no footprints, and no trace of breath.

Even the most seasoned hunting dog cannot follow the trail.

His line of sight penetrates the dense branches and leaves without being blocked.

This is the unique skill of natural warlocks, "Emerald Vision".

Not far ahead, in the grass, a trap has been set in advance.

The activated vines created by the 1st level "Entanglement" take root everywhere under the cover of grass.

The knife-thrower ran over the trap he had set, and the activated vines lay obediently at his feet, motionless.

Walking through the woods is a magical movement technique that allows you to move freely among plants generated by nature or magic, as if walking on flat ground.

Leaving the area controlled by "Entanglement", the knife-throwing hand stopped, hid in the bushes, and quietly cast the spell.

Using the 0-level spell "Second Phantom", he created a figure exactly like himself in the center of the trap.

A fake phantom, squatting in the activated vines, always ready to throw throwing knives.

Deliberately making a slight noise to arouse Alan's alert and lure him into the trap.

So far, the plan is progressing smoothly.

The knife-throwing hand took out a small bottle of snake venom and skillfully quenched the poison for the flying knife.

He had previously shot Allen with a poisoned flying knife, but unfortunately it bounced away.

At that time, the knife thrower heard the sound of metal collision.

What does this mean?

"That boy is wearing a breastplate under his coat!"

The knife thrower came up with a logical guess.

This time, he plans to lock Allen's throat.

Your throat is not protected by iron armor, and you will die if you get hit by a knife!

While he was making secret calculations, Allen stopped at the edge of the trap.

Immediately, the tall figure was shrouded in a silver mist.

When the knife-throwing hand saw this, he couldn't help but be startled.

What is going on?!

The strong sense of crisis prompted him to turn around!

Sure enough, I found a group of silver mist coming out from behind me, gathering human figures!

Cold sweat immediately penetrated my spine!

The knife thrower didn't care about throwing the knife and ran away!

Behind him, Allen walked out of the fog with a sneer and stretched his left arm forward.

A bone spur suddenly popped out of the palm and turned into a three-meter soft whip.

Whoa!

The soft whip of bone spurs was whipped out like lightning.

Like a strange ivory snake, it stretches its body in the sky.

Precisely wrap around the neck of the throwing knife hand.

Allen exerted force with his left arm and dragged him back.

The right hand was filled with magic power, and a "bone-penetrating explosion" was struck firmly on his back!

Bang!!

The knife-throwing hand fell to the ground as if struck by lightning.

When he was dying, he asked weak questions.

"How do you know..."

Allen ignored him and hit him at the speed of light!

Tsk!

"Finger flick wave" penetrates the throat!

The knife-throwing hand looked unwilling and stopped breathing.

Allen confirmed that he was dead, then went to search the body, secretly complaining:

"Your phantom has no toxin reaction at all. Who would be fooled like this? Idiot!"

A small bottle of level 3 snake venom, more than 20 non-attribute magic stones, and a booklet were found from the flying knife hand.

The booklet has a total of nine pages, each page depicts a "secret mark".

It looks like an address book.

In addition to the knife thrower's own, there are eight remaining marks, which most likely belong to the other eight members of the "Surprise Circus".

Allen stuffed all these things into his storage bag.

Finally, inject digestive fluid into the knife-throwing corpse.

Looking at his body, it decomposed into a pool of pus and blood.

Allen turned around and returned to the original route to meet Felin and others.

Feilin and others failed to catch the cunning ventriloquist, but fortunately everyone was safe.

For safety reasons, we gave up the pursuit deep into the dense forest and returned to the airship first.

……

In the dense forest.

The ventriloquist looked through the telescope and saw Allen returning safely, and was so angry that he cursed his partner secretly.

"Where did the knife-thrower go when he died?"

"You can't even handle a kid, it's embarrassing!"

As if in response to his reproach, footsteps came from behind, approaching from far away.

"Knife-throwing hand, is that you?"

The ventriloquist turned around and asked in a low voice.

When his eyes fell on the visitor, he couldn't help but be startled.

"It turns out to be you..."

"Strange, why are you here?"

A man in a cloak stands in the shade.

Raise your index finger to cover your lips.

"Shh——"

See the cautious look on the other side.

The ventriloquist smiled nonchalantly.

"It's okay! I tried using 'ventriloquism' to imitate the whispers of fairies without disturbing the forest spirits."

The cloaked man shook his head slightly and pointed behind him.

The ventriloquist subconsciously looked back.

There is nothing behind me...

It’s simply baffling!

Poof!

The sharp blade penetrated his back and came out through his chest.

"Uh——"

The ventriloquist's eyes bulged and he tried to scream.

From behind, a hand suddenly stretched out.

Cover his mouth tightly to prevent him from making any sound.

The ventriloquist struggled for a few times, then rolled his eyes.
