Chapter 65 Poisonous Swamp

Poisonous Swamp.

Several players from the club guilds were sprinting forward. All they could see was the Swamp Hunter Lépū (name), who they were luring and was also running wildly ahead.

That was the annoying thing about wild Bosses. Because they spawned randomly, they didn’t have any fixed strongholds. The entire Poisonous Swamp could be their hunting ground. If you were skilled enough at leading the monster, you could bring the Swamp Hunter Lépū to any corner of the Poisonous Swamp.

However, the difficulty was naturally extremely high. If wild Bosses could be easily and safely kited like this, wouldn’t that mean that every wild Boss could be kited to death with ease?

Therefore, the three Blue Brook Guild players who stole the Swamp Hunter Lépū were in a sorry state, struggling to cope with the Boss chasing after them. Their escape speed was not fast at all, and they could be caught up with very quickly if they were pursued. However, the players from the various club guilds had received different instructions from their respective guild leaders. None of them were preparing to chase after them immediately. All of them were keeping a close watch at a moderate pace, with some of their attention focused on searching for the figures of other guild players in the swamp.

"If you have the opportunity, you can take them down, but remember, it must be done without revealing yourselves!" The two players from Herb Garden, Bājiǎo (name) and Dāodòu (name), firmly remembered their guild leader's instructions.

These two characters were named after Chinese medicinal herbs and were core members of the guild, so they were naturally highly valued by the guild leader. One was an Assassin and the other a Ninja, both skilled in sneak attacks and assassinations. The harsh geographical environment of the Poisonous Swamp was perfect for their professions to shine. At this moment, while tracking the Boss, they had already secretly set their sights on a Battle Mage from Misty Rain.

Battle Mages were leather armor class, with relatively low health and defense. Because of the Non-attribute Chaser, their movement speed was quite fast. However, to use the Chaser, they had to attack a target to generate it. This Battle Mage had been disturbing countless monsters along the way to replenish the buff from the Chaser, which could be considered arrogant and domineering. It was unknown if this was instructed by the guild leader. Right now, tracking didn't require much speed, so the movement speed buff from the Non-attribute Chaser was optional.

"Not good, he's too eye-catching. Killing him might not be seen by him, but others who have also seen him might discover the two of us. That's not good." Bājiǎo said to Dāodòu.

It was too late to use wild accounts now, so Tian Nanxing had directly sent them on this mission. Even if they hid their guild titles, the names Bājiǎo and Dāodòu were enough to expose them. Even if their names didn't expose them, someone could simply check the guild roster through a spy and completely identify them. Therefore, Tian Nanxing had told them that if they were exposed, they should automatically leave the guild first.

"Let's not deal with him for now, switch targets." Dāodòu agreed with Bājiǎo's opinion. The two were about to move when they suddenly saw a burst of fire in their field of vision, coming from under the Misty Rain Battle Mage's feet.

The two, being seasoned veterans, immediately judged that he had stepped on a Flame Trap set by a Thief.

The elites of the club guilds were extraordinary after all. As soon as the Battle Mage triggered the trap, he immediately reacted and quickly performed a backflip. Although he was still injured by the trap, he had to get off it quickly to avoid further damage. The Flame Trap did not restrict the character's movement, but it had high damage and was sustainable. Although the Battle Mage jumped away, the initial step had given his body a burning effect, and there were still flames on him, causing a continuous decrease in health.

However, this damage was far from fatal. The Battle Mage, being alert after the ambush, immediately did a 360-degree turn, scanning the area wildly, startling Bājiǎo and Dāodòu, who quickly hid their heads.

When they reappeared, they saw that the Battle Mage had retreated to a tree, leaning his back against the trunk to avoid being surrounded. As a result, a Ninja quietly appeared from behind the tree above his head, slowly sliding down with the Stealth skill activated. Just as he was about to reach, he suddenly dropped down rapidly. The Battle Mage realized the movement of the figure too late and was dragged off balance by the Ninja's Back Suplex from above. An Assassin sprinted towards him from another direction at high speed, with a murderous aura revealing a strike that Bājiǎo immediately recognized as their Assassin's most terrifying ultimate skill: Life-Risking Strike!

Assassins didn't have much health. Life-Risking Strike was a trade of health for health, which most professions couldn't withstand in one hit. However, the Mage class was a whole tier below Assassins in that regard. Although Battle Mages had 'Battle' in their name, they couldn't shake off their Mage identity. Mages were fragile, and this was very evident. When the Assassin's Life-Risking Strike landed, the Battle Mage didn't fly away, but the blood spurting from his back relentlessly displayed how high the damage of this strike was.

But after this strike, the Battle Mage still hadn't died. As he turned his body, he was about to catch a glimpse of the Ninja's name when he suddenly heard a gunshot, hitting the Battle Mage's right shoulder. The Battle Mage staggered and spun sideways, and the angle he was about to turn to actually turned back. The Ninja quickly hid behind the Battle Mage and continued to attack relentlessly with ninjutsu and sword techniques. As for the Assassin, he was in a weakened state for a long time after using Life-Risking Strike. Such a powerful ultimate move came at a very high price.

"Good marksmanship!"

Bājiǎo and Dāodòu were both connoisseurs. Although the main output was obviously from the Assassin and Ninja, that mysterious shot earlier truly demonstrated the pinnacle of skill. The location and timing of that shot were calculated with extreme precision. But now, it seemed somewhat futile. Although the Battle Mage didn't see them, the two of them had seen the Assassin and Ninja.

"There are actually guys with the same intentions as us." Bājiǎo and Dāodòu muttered to each other as they quickly sent a message to their guild leader, asking him to contact the undercover agents to find out which guild these two players belonged to.

"Should we keep an eye on them?" After sending the message, Dāodòu asked Bājiǎo as he watched the two of them about to leave.

"No, there's also that Sharpshooter..." Bājiǎo cautiously surveyed the surroundings, but found nothing. Based on the location of the gunshot, they could roughly determine the direction it came from, but they found nothing. Who knew if that person was still watching this area?

"I don't recognize those two!" Dāodòu said. The elites of the guild were all somewhat famous. Even if they didn't know them personally, they knew of them. But these two were not within Dāodòu's knowledge of the guild's experts.

"I don't recognize them either," Bājiǎo shook his head.

"Could they be wild accounts?" Dāodòu said.

"Whose wild accounts could arrive so quickly?" Bājiǎo said.

Dāodòu thought about it and agreed. Seeing someone executing the assassination scene with them, the two of them became even more cautious. At the same time, they secretly rejoiced that they hadn't chosen to attack the Battle Mage earlier; otherwise, they would have been exposed. In that case, compared to the three assassins, they were the victors: the competitor was eliminated, but they were not exposed.

And what about the three? They eliminated the competitor, but exposed themselves.

When the Misty Rain player was killed, the first to receive the news was naturally Misty Rain. Misty Rain’s guild leader, Yānyǔ Suǒlóu (name), didn’t get angry in a hurry when he heard the news. He immediately knew that someone in the group that went out had ulterior motives.

If they quietly killed all the competitors, the Boss could very likely fall into their hands without anyone knowing.

Yānyǔ Suǒlóu's gaze secretly swept over the players from the various guilds in front of him, and he suddenly saw a player in a guild over there quietly trying to leave the team.

"What do you want to do!!"

To Yānyǔ Suǒlóu's surprise, almost at the same time, several guild leaders shouted out together, their gazes all directed towards that direction.

"Huh? What's wrong? Are you talking to me?" That player finally realized that so many guild leaders were shouting at him. "I'm not doing anything!"

"You want to leave?"

"No..."

"No one is allowed to leave now!" A guild leader shouted. Yānyǔ Suǒlóu saw that his own player had been killed, and these guys probably saw it. He didn't know which guild did it. Assassination? It was too obvious, right? But while thinking this, he was also a little anxious. One of his players had already died, and now all the guild leaders were watching closely, obviously afraid that other guilds would add reinforcements. In this mutual restraint, they could only rely on the initial personnel they had invested. One of Yānyǔ Suǒlóu's players was already gone, so how could he not be anxious? He didn't know if he could make it in time even if he called for reinforcements.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. The message came, the effect is very good."

On the other side, after the Misty Rain player was assassinated, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim received a message of commendation from Wei Chen.

"They've been restrained by each other, so it's much easier for us," Ye Xiu replied.

"Hurry up and make your move," Wei Chen said.

"Can't you hold on any longer?" Ye Xiu replied.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's a level 65 wild Boss. You try kiting it around!" Wei Chen cursed.

"I see you have time to send messages. You must be very free!" Ye Xiu said.

"..." Wei Chen immediately showed that he was very busy.

"That last one was a beautiful kill!!" The team Lord Grim was in was also having a heated discussion.

"Haha, everyone listen to my instructions, let's continue!" Ye Xiu said in the channel.

"Okay, okay." These were all Wei Chen's brothers, and they were all straightforward. They had long forgotten about the previous conflict with Ye Xiu. As soon as they saw that Wei Chen and Ye Xiu were friends, they immediately treated Ye Xiu as a friend. If they were friends, then listening to Ye Xiu's commands was naturally not a problem. Which Glory player would confidently think that their command level was above God Ye Qiu.

"We just took down one from Misty Rain, the next target is Herb Garden. Those two are acting together, they were having a good time peeking earlier, let's make it a double whammy and hang them together!" Ye Xiu said.

"Roger!" Everyone shouted.

"This time, let the Tyrannical Ambition people make the move," Ye Xiu said, calling out their name.
