With a huge pile of snow plus a moving barrier, it would cause a...?

That was the question that lingered inside Elmont and Osborne's minds but didn't get answered by Leo, causing them to still remain oblivious of what he wanted to say. 

The reason for that is because twenty Vine-arm Chimpanzees had finally come out from the hole that they are currently escaping away. 

Seeing such a sight, Leo paused on his sentence and decided to start moving quickly once again. 

On the other hand, Elmont and Osborne also did the same, obviously not wanting to be left behind and become the bait to buy enough time for the others to escape. After all, even though the three of them are allies, each of them still belongs to an entirely different team. As such, if they would get eliminated here, then it would mean that their own team can no longer participate in the fifth game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition anymore. 

Needless to say, absolutely none of them would want to have such a Fate for their respective teams. Therefore, they frantically started running as far away as possible and decided to put aside what Leo intended to say. 

The moment the group of Vine-arm Chimpanzees arrived on the surface, they immediately started looking around their surroundings, trying to see where exactly they were right now. 

Unfortunately for Leo and the others, since they weren't really considered that far away from the hole yet, and in addition to that, they were also making a lot of noises while trying to escape from the place, hence it didn't take that long for the group of Vine-arm Chimpanzees to notice them. 

As soon as the group of Vine-arm Chimpanzees spotted Leo and the others, they roared resoundingly before quickly chasing after them. 

Some of the Vine-arm Chimpanzees grab onto the branches of the trees and swing themselves around. While others simply travel on the snowy ground. 

Regardless of how the Vine-arm Chimpanzees travel, they were still considered fast nonetheless, completely unlike Leo and the others' speed.

"It seems like we have no other choice left," Leo said as he waved his hand, quickly taking out a bow and a quiver that contained thirty arrows from his Storage Ring. Right after, he put the quiver onto his back and nocked an arrow onto his bow. 

While doing that, a few of his Wind Elementals, who are secretly following behind, constantly update him with the current locations of the Vine-arm Chimpanzees chasing after them.

Turning to look at Elmont and Osborne, Leo said, "Prepare yourselves. We are going to fight them!"

"Understood!" Elmont nodded his head before taking out two steel swords, intending to dual wield. 

"I've waited long enough for this moment," Osborne said as he took out a steel sword and wooden shield. 

In the next moment, Leo abruptly turned around and pointed the arrow of his bow towards the nearest Vine-arm Chimpanzee. 

Whoooosh! 

Pluck! 

With Leo's skill when it comes to using a bow, it is naturally expected already that he wouldn't miss his shot. 

The Vine-arm Chimpanzee that got hit bellowed softly in pain before falling straight down to the ground. On one of his eyes, an arrow had penetrated straight to his brain. 

Bang! 

A muffled sound was heard the moment the body of the Vine-arm Chimpanzee smashed onto the snow. 

Not wasting any time, Leo notched another arrow onto his bow and aimed it towards the next nearby Vine-arm Chimpanzee. 

Whooosh! 

Pluck! 

Leo repeated the same action over and over again. 

Whoooosh! 

Pluck!

Whoooosh! 

Pluck! 

Whoooosh! 

Pluck!

Before any of the Vine-arm Chimpanzees could even reach their location, Leo has already taken out a total of five Vine-arm Chimpanzees. 

"I didn't expect that you are this good in using a bow, brother Loki," Elmont said, a bit surprised with the discovery. He really thought at first that Leo is only good at using daggers since that was always the content of the information he received on reports about Leo. It turns out that he was actually also good at using a bow.

"As expected of the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild," Osborne expressed his admiration. 

"Enough talk! Here they come!" Leo said as he hanged his bow onto a nearby branch beside him. Thereafter, he took out a dagger and prepared himself for a frontal confrontation. 

There is really no need for Leo to remind Elmont and Osborne as they could see the approaching Vine-arm Chimpanzees with their very own eyes. 

Seeing two approaching Vine-arm Chimpanzees on both of his sides, Elmont gripped the two steel swords in each of his hands before charging straight towards them. Arriving in front of them, he made a quick motion with his right hand, holding a steel sword, which instantly killed one of the Vine-arm Chimpanzees. Momentarily after that, he turned his body around and slid to the side as he then slashed the head of the second Vine-arm Chimpanzee with the steel sword in his left hand. 

Seemingly in a blink of an eye, Elmont killed two Vine-arm Chimpanzees. And that wasn't yet over as he quickly went to charge towards the rest of the currently approaching Vine-arm Chimpanzees. 

On the other side, Osborne went to fight with five Vine-arm Chimpanzees all at the same time. With a wooden shield on his left arm and a steel sword on the other, he tanked all five of them without experiencing any disadvantage. 

Using his shield to block all attacks while dealing damages against the other Vine-arm Chimpanzees with his steel sword, Osborne soon killed the five Vine-arm Chimpanzees. And similar to Elmont, he quickly went to charge towards the remaining Vine-arm Chimpanzees. 

After watching Elmont and Osborne quickly taking down a total of seven Vine-arm Chimpanzees with no trouble at all, while at the same time not letting even a single one pass their line of defense, Leo decided to store the dagger that he had just took out from his Storage Ring and grab his bow hanging from the side. 

Since there is no need for him to go into a frontal clash against the Vine-arm Chimpanzees, just like Elmont and Osborne, thus he would naturally choose to fight from a far enough distance. After all, doing this is less troublesome compared to what Elmont and Osborne are doing right now. And most importantly, this also allows him to reveal less of his capability to all of his potential opponents in the upcoming fifth game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. In other words, he could stay low-key.
