Chapter 35: Assassin Thief

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was a Thief launching a sneak attack!

Li Yi quickly placed a Freezing Trap on the ground at the fastest speed, and his body immediately leaped high, turning around in mid-air and releasing a Resounding Shot.

[−93]

The arrow hit a small figure in black below. The other party did not expect Li Yi’s reaction to be this fast and was obviously stunned. Just as he was about to give chase, the Freezing Trap exerted its effect, instantly freezing him in place.

Li Yi quickly pulled apart the distance, equipped himself with the precious Blood Wolf Arrows, and played the Chain Arrow Skill.

[−83]

[−120]

The figure in black was frozen there. Without the ability to move at all, he was put down to the ground after two consecutive Critical Hits.

System Notification: [You have defeated the malicious attacker and obtained 1 point of Honor Value.]

Li Yi went to the corpse of the figure in black. After a few glances, he could not help but be slightly moved.

“Old Green?”

“You know me?” The corpse had these words typed out.

“…Heard of before.”

Li Yi smiled.

Old Green was a Dwarf Cyclone Thief. In the previous life, this dear brother was constantly picking a fight with him and had tried to assassinate him more than a hundred times. Unfortunately, Old Green did not succeed even once and was easily taken down by his Emperor of the Night every time.

Could Li Yi not have a deep impression of him? In fact, the moment Old Green said his classic cant of “You think too much”, he immediately knew who the other person was.

“The Century Flower Guild is still as sinister as ever.”

Li Yi shook his head and left.

Old Green waited for about ten minutes and dragged his soul to circle a few rounds, making sure that Li Yi had gone far away before choosing to resurrect.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

The beautiful Critical Hit numbers jumped out from the top of his head, and Old Green tragically fell to the ground again.

“As a Thief, you’re completely unqualified. You should use Stealth the moment you resurrect.”

Li Yi stood in the distance and waved the longbow in his hand.

Resurrected characters had only half of their HP. Once their corpse was being spawn camped, it was difficult to get up.

Old Green quickly ran back, listened to Li Yi’s suggestion, and triggered Stealth right away when he resurrected.

“Pooh!”

“Pooh!”

Olf Green’s body had just vanished for a second when the damage numbers broke out on the top of his head, and he fell to the ground again.

“Using Stealth alone won’t work. You also have to see what direction I’m at. What’s more, because I’m a Human, I have a 10-second Sensory talent. If you don’t wait for my Sensory to cooldown, how can you successfully escape?”

Old Green quickly ran back and triggered Stealth again after resurrecting.

The cooldown of the Sensory talent was five minutes. Because he had just used it once, it could now no longer be used.

“Pooh!”

“Pooh!”

Without managing to run a few steps in Stealth mode, Old Green had fallen to the ground once more…

The effect of Hunt Target Skill: [Add a mark to the target. Any attack will increase the damage to the target, and the target marked can always be seen by the Archer. Invisibility or Stealth will not be able to get rid of it. This effect lasts for ten minutes.]

Li Yi shook his head, “It’s better if you go back to take a good look at the Archer’s skill description.”

“***!” Old Green’s corpse had a bunch of garbled numbers typed out.

“You get up and run in the opposite direction of me. As long as you leave the marked range, you’ll be safe. Um, I’m in front of you, so you can just run toward the back when you get up.”

“***!” Old Green’s body had a bunch of garbled numbers typed out again.

This time, Old Green refused to stand up regardless of what Li Yi said.

After half an hour, more than twenty people from the Century Flower Guild arrived. Only then did Old Green dare to get up from the ground.

“Where’s he?”

Old Green’s face turned livid with rage, “He has camped me for some time just now. He should still be nearby.”

“Search!

“Search thoroughly. I want to camp him for half a month.”

The twenty-something people scattered and searched in all directions…

…

At this time, Li Yi had already arrived in Eastcloud Valley. After finding and conversing with a White Elf refugee, he obtained a pair of SPD +2 blue quality shoes. He then went to the valley to pick up another quest.

Li Yi did not ask why Old Green wanted to kill him. This was because he knew the reason even without Old Green mentioning it.

The scale of the Century Flower Guild was much bigger than the Dark Emperor, but unfortunately, this guild often maliciously attacked their opponents in order to achieve their own goals.

The Century Flower Guild sent Old Green to assassinate him was simply because he had won the first kill of the Heroic Difficulty, and this had violated their interests, making them a little furious.

Li Yi had constantly been low-key, but this did not mean that he was afraid of trouble. In fact, if others dared to provoke him, whether it was in the previous life or the present, he would certainly avenge it by ten or hundred times.

He had already seen this trick from the Century Flower Guild in his previous life. They would first send someone to secretly kill you until it was difficult for you to level up. After that, the guild would send someone to invite you to join them and promise that you would be protected if you decided to do so. All would be well if you agree with them. However, if you refuse to join them, the assassinations would continue. This was a rather despicable means.

There were still many people leveling up in Eastcloud Valley. Because the Black Wolves respawned quickly and had less HP, the effectiveness of leveling up here was much higher than at the same-level-monsters zone.

The quest NPC that Li Yi had to look for was Argo’s (the Werewolf NPC at the entrance of the Black Wolf Instance Dungeon) son. That fellow was a mobile NPC, always going about here and there, so it was not easy to find him at all.

Fortunately, Li Yi knew the approximate route. He walked straight down the valley path, crossed the Black Wolf intensive farming zone, and came to the Eastcloud Valley’s secret spot.

The Black Wolves here were slow to respawn and were rare in numbers, so there were not many players who would level up in this place. In comparison with the valley before, here was much quieter.

“Finally, I’ve found him.”

Li Yi saw Argo’s son standing on the hillside and shouting a cry at the first sight.

“Move, move, quickly move, quickly move!”

Just then, a female player appeared in front of Li Yi, but she looked a bit bewildered as she was being madly chased by five black wolves.

This was a Human female Warrior with a high HP and DEF level, and she was running and drinking Red Potion at the same time. Li Yi had seen many female players before, but this very one before his eyes stunned him slightly.

The name on the top of the head was not hidden, and it was Girl without Underwear.

‘Wasn’t this the female player I’ve met at the mountain at the back of the Novice Village?’

Since there was no one on the left or right, Li Yi, out of good intentions, drew his bow and released the arrow, clearing the five black wolves that were chasing the female Warrior.

“This group of black wolves is really too abnormal, always chasing me. Thank…”

Girl without Underwear spoke halfway and suddenly stared at Li Yi without continuing her sentence.

“It’s you!” Although Li Yi did not reveal his own name, he was still recognized by Girl without Underwear.

“What a coincidence. We meet again.” Li Yi smiled slightly.

Girl without Underwear went over, stared at Li Yi, and asked, “The last time at the mountain behind the Novice Village, was it you whom I met?”

Li Yi nodded. “It should be me.”

“That’s good then. Watch the saber!”

Girl without Underwear shouted, raised up high the large saber in her hand, and abruptly slashed at Li Yi…
