Eternal Thief

At this moment, Ace's heart palpitated when he felt something coming right toward his head at a terrifying speed!

However, before he could counterattack, Cyrus was even faster as it opened its tiny beak and threw a small sky-blue fireball behind.

'Boommm….'

A huge explosion filled with fiery heat rang just ten meters away from Ace's position.

Ace also turned around at this moment and coldly looked at the vast charred area, and the fire ignited on the grassland. He spotted a silver arrow that Cyrus's flames hadn't burned!

What happened next made him stunned. The arrow suddenly trembled before it suddenly turned into a silver streak, as a lightning bolt vanished into the tall grasslands.

'An archer?!' Ace felt his heart turn cold because he didn't feel anything in three miles radius.

The arrow was so fast that he only noticed when it was extremely close to him, which meant the arrow was a treasure and whoever was using it was quite proficient in archery.

Ace even activated the fate map, but just as he expected, there wasn't any fate point which could only mean that the archer was over three miles away from him.

"More 'flies' are coming!" Cyrus's giddy voice rang in his mind.

Thereafter, even Ace felt the incoming danger.

"Don't take action anymore, or we might scare the attacker away if he thinks we are dangerous!" Ace commanded before Cyrus could attack again.

Reluctant, the little guy kept his beak close.

At this moment, three silver streaks appeared from three different directions, and all of them were aiming for his life.

'Hmph!' With a cold snort, Ace used the misperception step turning into multiple afterimages.

Those silver arrows seemed to have a mind of their own as they suddenly twisted in the air and targeted all of Ace's afterimages.

However, even after those arrows pierced all of Ace's afterimages, there was no trace of blood or wound. All those images faded away, and Ace's real figure was nowhere to be seen, as if he had vanished into the air.

Those arrows then again turned back before turning into streaks and scattered into grassland.

However, before those arrows completely vanished, suddenly, an invisible cord shot toward one of them even faster than those arrows. Then the invisible cord was attached to one of them without decreasing the speed of the retreating arrow!

Over four miles away,

Two figures wearing concealing cloaks were whispering something to each other.

-n0ve1、com One was holding a two-meter-long silver bow, while the other had a formation with a white projection over it.

"Where did it go?" The person with a bow whispered while looking at the cloaked figure holding the formation plate.

The other one replied, "I don't know, but the tracing formation suddenly lost its trace. I think he had a high-grade-5 concealment treasure on him!"

The three silver arrows appeared at this moment and started hovering beside the silver bow.

"A high-grade-5 treasure? Did we provoke those scions of First-Rate Families?" The person holding the bow whispered with a hint of fear in his tone.

"I don't think so, young master; those people should be long entered the fifth or even sixth floor. Why would they stay on the first floor? I don't think they wanted to take part in scavenging of third-rate families like us." The person holding the formation replied with uncertainty.

"Intriguing." An icy voice suddenly rang within those two ears, making them shudder.

Before they could react, they suddenly felt something gripping their minds and bodies alike, and before they knew it, they were lying on the ground, completely immobilized.

It was like something invisible was binding their souls, and there wasn't any resistance or escape at all.

Under their horrified eyes, a hooded figure appeared with a tiny chick on his shoulder who was looking at them like they were prey.

It was naturally Ace and Cyrus.

Ace had used the thievish soul cord to discover these attackers' positions.

Ace didn't ask meaningless questions as he used pick-pocket to steal their concealment cloaks, the silver bow and arrows, and that formation and their storage rings.

Ace didn't pay much attention to the notification because he was looking at the attackers' faces which were now revealed with astonished eyes.

These two look exactly like human males but even more handsome with their glossy white skin, silver eyes, and silver hair. Their heights were around 1.9 and 2 meters. They wore green robes with silver markings.

Furthermore, they had this distinctive air of nature, and their pointy ears were also unlike humans. They could easily be considered humans without their pointy ears.

Suddenly a race appeared in Ace's mind, ranking sixth in the Golden Sky World's ranking, and was quite mysterious.

"Wise Elves?" Ace couldn't help but mumble while looking at those two.

Ace had remembered every race's appearance in the golden sky world and the Wise Elves were the only ones who matched the description of these two.

Wise Elves were considered a pacifist race and didn't pick fights with others or provoke anyone unless provoked first.

This was the only information he had on Wise Elves since no one paid much attention to a ranked sixth race.

Ace had never thought he would encounter Wise Elves here of all the races. Furthermore, these guys were not seemed like peaceful or weak at all.

"Oh, your souls are bonded, so you won't be able to reply. My bad. But I don't need to ask you anything, did I?" Ace coldly sneered, seeing those elves' horrid eyes as they were struggling.

Without caring about their reactions, he used a soul probe on the elf who was holding the bow just now. He knew since these elves could enter here then, this meant they had a way to exit from here as well.

As Ace acquired the elf's memories, his eyes widened ever so slightly!
