Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Thief’s Shadow (Song of melancholy, author added more updates in confusion)
The thief by the large tree saw Li Yao about to walk this way and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. Even though he held his position, the muscles all over his body tightened, and he clenched the dagger in his hand.
But a moment later she saw Li Yao looking in another direction, but she couldn’t see anything.
Li Yao began to charge and then suddenly released a Charged Arrow.
“Does the Priest of the Temple have something wrong with him, issuing this kind of ghost mission?” the Ugly Duckling of Heaven complained.
“You should talk less, I’m already annoyed by you. Anyway, it’s quite boring to patrol, isn’t it a good thing to have a mission? If we can catch this guy, we can earn a lot of merits,” the Priest of the Moon, Autumn Spinach, blurted out unsatisfied.
“I like missions, but in this damn place, it gets foggy late at night, and you can’t even see a bird. If the opponent is a thief, he’ll definitely play us to death. You really think it’s easy to earn merits,” The Ugly Duckling of Heaven didn’t like this mission.
But they took a patrol mission which required them to stay by the lake for an entire night. If they left, the Temple naturally had methods to know if they had neglected their duties. Many who thought they were smart had been heavily punished.
Dereliction of duty is a heavy responsibility in the Temple. It’s not just about getting an elite rank revoked, but you will also be despised by most elves. Life in the Ancient Elf’s side will become extremely difficult, even getting a mission would be impossible.
Because those NPCs believe they blasphemed the Moon God, basically the same as being exiled.
“It might not necessarily be a master coming. Maybe they have some special methods. But what if it is a master? We are the main force of the team. Why do you always boost others’ morale but destroy your own?” Autumn Spinach seemed eager to give it a shot.
“Stop bluffing, any enemy faction that can reach here must be masters. Otherwise, they would have been killed already and wouldn’t be able to make it here. Don’t forget, players at our current stage can’t just slip through the portal, there must be special methods. And it’s possible that they’re not far from us, preparing to attack us,” the Ugly Duckling of Heaven said cautiously as he surveyed the area.
“Let them come, I’m itching for them to show up…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a golden light flashed past.
“I knew it would be a high…” the Ugly Duckling of Heaven clutched the steel arrow that pierced his body and fell to the ground.
“Ah…” She screamed, but quickly regained her composure.
Moon’s Guide!
Moon’s Shadow Pull!
She promptly released her skills, and Li Yao instantly became a light bulb. The second arrow also surged forth, but it was already off the mark.
His health instantly depleted 20%, a faint shadow appeared not far from him, which was a Priest of the Moon.
“Werewolf, you’re not on the side of the dark camp, why are you attacking us?” Autumn Spinach exclaimed while quickly casting spells, a ray of light appeared in her hand.
“Surely we’re going to die anyway, why bother asking so many questions?” Li Yao started to charge again, his bow and arrow slowly drawn back.
Click…
With a soft sound, the golden snake caught the Priest of the Moon’s legs.
“He’s a Hunter and he dares to compete with me on output, ridiculous. The skills to kill instantly are in CD, right? Let’s see who defeats who,” she pointed her finger and a moonlight hit Li Yao.
-458
The Charged Arrow from Li Yao was ready.
“It’s useless. My shadow reduces damage, how can a petty Hunter like you compare with me? I’m not looking down on Hunters, but even if I stood still, you wouldn’t be able to kill me,”
She cast another spell, seeing Li Yao released his fingers, she showed no intention of dodging, apparently, she really wanted to strike back at the Hunter.
However, the Charged Arrow went right through the shadow and penetrated her throat, she widened her eyes in disbelief.
Knowing that her shadow could resist a lot of damage, she couldn’t understand how she could be killed with just one arrow.
“Stand still and fight with me? That’s the least funny joke I’ve ever heard,” Li Yao swung his arm, and the Blue Moon Bow morphed back into the easy-to-carry crescent shape.
She obviously didn’t get it because Li Yao’s attributes were just far superior to her own. A level 3 Charged Arrow causing 170% damage, coupled with the 150% attack bonus of the Gold Weapon’s crescent form, her defeat was not unjustified.
“Blue Moon Bow, no, even the damage of the Blue Moon Bow isn’t enough, what kind of Hunter are you?” Autumn Spinach, who was left with a drop of blood, was flashing lights in her hand and her health restored to full. However, her Moon’s Shadow also dissipated.
“Moon’s Shadow Substitution, you learned it at such a low level, not bad,” Li Yao also seemed a little surprised, not expecting that she could learn this energy saving so soon.
Autumn Spinach slowly moved sideways and slowly said, “You still haven’t said, what kind of Hunter are you exactly, Lone Wolf?”
“I’m a Beast King Hunter,” Li Yao laughed.
“You’re lying to me!” Autumn Spinach was startled, then furious, “I thought you were a master, but you seem ordinary.”
“Believe it or not, it’s getting close, you should be on your way.”
Li Yao directly threw the Whirlwind Short Spear.
“You’re not bad, but you underestimate me…”
Slap…
Her reaction was very quick. When Li Yao released the spear, she had already dodged. But Li Yao’s reaction was even quicker.
At the same time she dodged, the Magic Spider Silk from Li Yao’s hand flew out. It was as if she hit the Magic Spider Silk herself, and the two quickly closed the gap.
A hint of panic finally flashed in her eyes, and an instant Spell fell on Li Yao’s head.
-231…
But this minor damage was nothing to Li Yao. However, the one-handed sword in Li Yao’s hand had already pierced her throat.
Whoosh…
Autumn Spinach, with her throat spewing blood, zeroed out her life, her soul turned into a white light and her body fell to the ground.
“I said, I’m a Beast King Hunter, why wouldn’t you believe me?” Li Yao wiped the blood-stained one-handed sword with her body armor, then picked up her dropped purple equipment and sighed, “But I don’t blame you, you’re just too weak, you didn’t even qualify to let me use a pet.”
Autumn Spinach’s soul had just floated out and when she heard Li Yao’s words, she was so angry she wanted to vomit blood. She was not a rookie, she was a professional player. But she could only get angry, to resurrect she had to wait until the next day when the Temple lifted the blockade.
The other guy dropped a piece of blue equipment, which Li Yao directly threw into the lake. He walked to the tree where he had previously felt odd and suddenly saw a colorful light in the branches and leaves.
“I knew something was strange, it turns out there was a special treasure chest.” Li Yao was overjoyed. He’d encountered this kind of thing only once before, and it was the chest containing the Eye of the Creator, which he found by taking advantage of the rebirth.
He really didn’t expect to encounter one in the temple.
Li Yao slowly walked under the tree, was about to use the Magic Spider Silk to climb the tree to get the chest when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head.
Slap…
Li Yao’s shoulder special effect activated, deflecting the thief’s sneak attack and preventing him from entering a stunned state, but it also made him break out in a cold sweat.
He was careless!
The moment Li Yao realised this, he immediately used a succession of Shadow Rolls.
“This is my chest.”
The thief exposed himself, a rope flying out from his hand…
