The gloomy man was fortunate enough to have met a Fighting King before. He could sense that the Fighting King's wings were different from the wings of the youth in the sky.
Furthermore, from the aura of the youth, he was only at the Fighting Master level.
There was only one possibility, the youth had a rare flying Dou Technique.
Greed flashed across the gloomy man's eyes. If he could obtain this Dou Technique, his strength would multiply.
...
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!
One after another, sharp arrows flew towards Chen Mo and the others.
"Be careful!" Butterfly panicked.
Chen Mo was not proficient in the Kun Peng's wings. Furthermore, he was carrying Butterfly and had no time to attack. Furthermore, using the Kun Peng's wings consumed a lot of Dou Qi.
Thus, looking at the arrows flying towards him, Chen Mo had a hard time dodging them. A few of them even brushed past his body.
Fortunately, he had his Dou Qi cloak and was not injured.
This also confirmed the gloomy man's guess. It was indeed a flying Dou Technique.
"Hurry, don't stop, shoot!"
"Shoot accurately!"
"Whoever shoots him down, I will reward you handsomely."
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!"
The mercenaries drew their longbows and shot arrows towards Chen Mo and the others, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
"Damn it!"
Chen Mo's face was gloomy. He could only circulate his Dou Qi and flap his Kun Peng's wings with all his might. He forcefully pulled himself up and flew out of the range of the arrows.
The result of doing so caused the wound on Chen Mo's back to burst open. Fresh blood dyed the bandage made from his short sleeves red.
"You … you're injured?" When Butterfly heard Chen Mo suck in a breath of cold air, she immediately raised her eyes to look at him. She discovered that his brows were tightly knitted together, as if he was suffering from extreme pain.
"No, the wound should have burst open. Be careful …"
As Chen Mo was speaking, an arrow suddenly shot towards Butterfly's tail.
Chen Mo hurriedly flipped his body over and moved down a little.
"Don't …" Butterfly screamed as if she knew what Chen Mo wanted to do.
Soon after, the arrow hit Chen Mo's back and was repelled by the battle qi cloak.

"Motherf * cker, a bunch of trash, bring me a bow!"
Seeing that Chen Mo and the others were about to fly out of the shooting range, the shadowy man kicked the mercenary next to him and snatched the bow in his hand.
He drew the bow to the fullest, infused all his fighting energy into the arrow, aimed at Chen Mo, and released his finger.
Boom!
The arrow that left the bowstring emitted a powerful whistling sound in the air as it whizzed toward Chen Mo.
"You scared me to death!" Butterfly was still worried about that arrow.
"Puchi!"
Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew at him from behind. Chen Mo sensed it and was about to dodge when he realized that this arrow was different from the others.
Its speed and explosive power were several times that of other arrows.
Chen Mo tilted his body, but it was too late. The arrow pierced through the Kun Peng Wings behind him.
Chen Mo instantly lost his balance.
Chen Mo quickly descended, but not long after, the Kun Peng Wings retracted back into his body, and the two of them fell straight down.
"Boss is mighty, boss is domineering."
"Boss is still the best, shooting them down with one arrow!"
The mercenaries tried to flatter him.
The shadowy man smiled, but he shouted, "Stop flattering, chase after them!"
...
"Hold me tight."
Chen Mo said to Butterfly in his arms, then spread out his hands to increase the resistance of the descent. He struggled to open his eyes, looking for a good landing spot.
Finally, he saw a tall sand dune and tried his best to land there.
"Bang!"
Chen Mo landed first.
Although there was soft yellow sand below, falling from a height of nearly ten meters still caused his organs to tremble. His wounds split open, and a large amount of blood seeped out.
However, Butterfly acted as if nothing happened, crying as she checked on Chen Mo, and asked if he was okay.
"You go first!" Chen Mo climbed up with difficulty. If it was in his previous life, he would have been seriously injured at this height, but now he realized that he only suffered light injuries.
Even his bones weren't broken, he just felt a little uncomfortable.
It seemed that this battle qi cloak was quite sturdy.
"No, we have to go together …" Butterfly saw a large amount of blood seeping out from Chen Mo's back, and thought that he was seriously injured, so she cried out in sadness.
[Ding! Favorability + 1. Received one Favorability coin.]
"Go, I want to see where you can go today."
Not far behind, the shadowy man's cold voice was mixed with battle qi, like a lion's roar echoing in the sky.
Not long later, the mercenaries behind him surrounded Chen Mo's group.
"4 star Dou Shi." Hearing the system notification, Chen Mo looked at the shadowy man with a serious expression.
"Brat, if you know what's good for you, hand over the snake woman beside you and your flying Dou Technique. Perhaps, I can spare your life."
The shadowy man waved his hand at Chen Mo and sneered.
"You … Who are you? Why do all of you want to capture me? Why? "
Butterfly opened her arms and stood in front of Chen Mo, and shouted.
"Why? Because you are a snake-person, and our human race is at odds with you. "
The shadowy man licked his lips at Butterfly, and a fiery heat flashed in his eyes. He laughed sinisterly, "You are indeed the best, no wonder the employer paid a high price to capture you."
Butterfly's A Delicate Body trembled, but she did not take a step back. She stood in front of Chen Mo, and said with a trembling voice, "The one you want is me, let him go!"
"I will definitely let him go, after all, I have no enmity with him. However, the prerequisite is that he must hand over his flying Dou Technique." The shadowy man said playfully.
"That's right, hand it over …" The surrounding mercenaries followed.
"This …" Butterfly was suddenly at a loss. Her hands rubbed the pendant on her neck, and after hesitating for a moment, she took it off and said, "Can I use this to exchange with you …"
Hearing these words, the shadowy man was stunned, and immediately laughed out loud. This was the first time he had seen such a naive snake woman.
Butterfly was a little stunned, not knowing why he was laughing.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed. Chen Mo walked to her side and said, "Don't give it to him."
"But …"
"I said before, I will protect you." Chen Mo wiped away the tears on Butterfly's face.
Butterfly's face turned red, and a ripple appeared in her heart. She said worriedly, "But your injury …"
Chen Mo pulled Butterfly behind him, "I can still hold on."

Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He let go of Butterfly's hand and gestured to the shadowy man.
"If you want it, come and get it!"
The shadowy man's face sank.
"If you want to be the hero to save the beauty, that will depend on whether you have the strength to do so. Go!"
The shadowy man waved his hand, and the surrounding mercenaries immediately surrounded Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took a deep breath and took out Cloud Wandering Steps from his backpack.
A memory entered his mind.
With Footwork Mastery, Chen Mo directly used it.
