Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Murder
Li Yao hadn’t expected that one of them would have a flash bomb and the other, a smoke bomb.
Although he was mentally prepared, the flash bomb’s duration lasted three seconds, which meant that even if he wasn’t blinded, he would not be able to see the two thieves for three seconds.
Adding the smoke bomb to the equation, his surroundings became hazy, and Li Yao once again pulled the trigger, but the sonar arrow’s detection also turned vague and blurred.
With his senses at their lowest, Li Yao performed a Shadow Roll to leave the spot, as it was the perfect time for a sneak attack.
“Die!”
The silhouette of a thief finally appeared behind Li Yao. Judging by her figure and the leather outfit that showed her curvy outline, he could tell she was a female thief.
At the same time, a male thief appeared in front of Li Yao. Both of them were human.
More surprisingly, there was a badge on the male thief’s chest.
Military Intelligence Agency 7, the most powerful intelligence organization in the Light Faction, was also an assassination guild, and one of the three most powerful thief guilds in the world.
Any thief who could join this agency was certainly a master, and after training under Military Intelligence Agency 7, they would undoubtedly become more capable. Li Yao was not surprised that they had dared to reach for his loot.
“Prairie Fire, is that it?”
As the male thief spoke, a dagger glowing with a green light was thrust into Li Yao’s forehead, while the female thief stabbed her dagger into the back of his head.
But Li Yao remained completely still, and the two thieves’ faces changed as they didn’t feel any resistance. It felt as if they had stabbed into thin air, as if Li Yao didn’t exist at all.
Due to their excessive force, they unexpectedly collided with each other. Even though they were highly agile thieves, the force of their blows needed to be strong enough to stun their opponent, and the same went for their sneak attack.
For a successful attack, one had to employ all their strength, but Li Yao was like air to them. Coupled with their belief that victory was at hand, they didn’t expect this outcome and crashed into one another, unable to stop in time.
“You’re not cut out to kill me.”
Li Yao made a side-step as they collided, and then he returned from the Dream to the main plane. He aimed his handheld crossbows at both disoriented thieves, who were close by, targeting their temples and pulled the trigger.
Thud Thud…
Two short arrows splashed two beautiful blossoms of blood. Then, the two thieves collapsed on the ground.
Li Yao quickly gathered the spoils of the battle, then disappeared into the shadows, rapidly retreating.
Just as Li Yao was leaving, more than a dozen ogres and Devil Tyrannosaurs were rushing over, clearly sensing something was wrong.
You should know that during these few days of tribe trials, no creatures dared to stay in this area.
Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief in secret. He wouldn’t be able to handle over a dozen ogres and Devil Tyrannosaurs at once.
The Devil Tyrannosaurs had incredible leaping and running speeds, at least far quicker than his.
There were not only adult ogres but also Ogre Warriors and Sorcerers. They were the overseers of the trials, they did not participate in the fights of the young ones; instead, they maintained the tranquility of the Trial Ground.
The Ogre Warriors and Ogre Sorcerers, each were as strong as intermediate bosses. A concentrated attack from them was something Li Yao found a little overwhelming.
Li Yao was unaware that this was a unique trial of the Ogre tribe. He thought it was a war for territories between the Devil Tyrannosaurs and Ogre tribe, but the simultaneous arrival of the Devil Tyrannosaurs and Ogres raised doubts in his mind.
“No, I need to find the totem and learn some Ogre Language first,” Li Yao frowned. Studying in a library would be too slow, and he didn’t have the luxury of time.
Indeed, learning the Orc language would also work, but from the start of the game until now, he had never stopped, so where would he find the time to study?
Li Yao continuously had Fire Hawk patrols above the tribe. When he saw a giant spire, his eyes lit up.
Like the city of the Trolls, these ancient beings all had their own altars or totems. The first three players, under suitable conditions, could use them to learn the language of a race.
Li Yao didn’t believe that the opportunity to do so was lost in this tribe. He quickly identified places where he could learn the language and began to plot his route based on the observations of the Fire Hawk.
Li Yao was trying to figure out how to swiftly complete the mission here. Naturally, he didn’t realize that his action of killing a few thieves had triggered anger in others.
The world of the game was just like that. They wouldn’t think about how Li Yao killed them because they stole his loot first. What concerned them was that their comrades were killed and the hard-earned experience was lost, which was enough to enrage them.
“Boss, that’s what happened. And we are certain that it’s Prairie Fire, as expected, he’s very strong,” said Night Dance, the female thief, in a soft but stern voice.
Night Dance Wild Battle frowned and said, “Given that he managed to kill five invisible thieves by himself, it must be him.”
He was the guild master of Night Dance. They had discovered the Devil Tyrannosaurs and Ogres in the swamp, originally planning to confront the Ogres.
However, after suffering heavy losses in the past two days, they realized that the Ogres were too intelligent and had hurt many players.
So, they decided to shift their aim to the Devil Tyrannosaurs today, but upon finding the Ogres and Devil Tyrannosaurs in a fight, they saw this as an opportunity. They lured one or two creatures at a time and encircled them for the kill.
Those they brought along were the most elite members of the guild, confident enough to confront real bosses.
Moreover, these Ogres appeared to have boss-like strength, but they were in fact minor enemies in Warcraft. Even when facing many players, their attributes would not increase by much or even change at all. One person couldn’t handle them, but a team naturally could.
So, they divided into small teams to hunt these creatures and level up.
“Boss, he thinks too little of us, he called us trash and said that regardless of whether there are fifty, a hundred, or a thousand of us, he could kill us all,” Night Dance Recklessly said.
Night Dance Wild Battle kicked him and said, “Enough, get your head in the game. I know you. Given Prairie Fire’s character, he wouldn’t even care enough about the corpses to guard them after killing you, much less say disrespectful things.”
Hehe…
Night Dance Recklessly laughed a few times and said, “Boss, I can’t let it go.”
Night Dance Wild Battle laughed and said, “Anyone who kills the members of our Night Dance guild can’t get away with it. Hunters with flying pets, let your pets search for any movement, and you several thieves also disperse and seek out his tracks. Bowing down to Prairie Fire or not, killing our people is a price he must pay.”…
