Chapter 199 - The Escape Member: Concealed Light (1/2)
Concealed Light and Steamed Bun Invasion weren’t friends. It was just that when he found that Steamed Bun Invasion had run onto a route where he would be quickly discovered, his auto-correct function activated and autonomously shouted out.
“Okay, then where should I run to?” Steamed Bun Invasion immediately returned.
“Over here.” Concealed Light continued to lead the way.
“Where are you guys meeting up at?” Concealed Light asked. He might as well just send him there.
“I dunno.” Steamed Bun Invasion said bluntly.
Concealed Light seemed to have stumbled on the flat ground. It looked as if he had accidentally pressed the crouch command. In that instant, his finger had clearly touched the wrong key.
“If you don’t know, then where are we running to?” Concealed Light said.
“How should I know? You’re the one leading.” Steamed Bun Invasion said.
Concealed Light coughed up blood: “You say a place and I’ll bring you there.”
“Wait! Let me ask!” Steamed Bun Invasion sent a message to Lord Grim.
“Where are you right now?” Ye Xiu asked.
“Hades Village.”
“What? You’re still there? Have you escaped yet?” Ye Xiu asked.
“Not yet.”
“How many pursuers are there?” Ye Xiu asked.
“Uh… let me ask.” Steamed Bun Invasion replied.
Ask? Ye Xiu was confused.
‘Hey, how many players are over there?” Steamed Bun Invasion asked the lead, Concealed Light.
“How should I know? It’s not like they’re chasing me. Maybe a dozen or so!” Concealed Light said.
“A dozen.” Steamed Bun Invasion answered Ye Xiu’s question.
“How’d you find out?” Ye Xiu had a hard time understanding.
“I met a bro at the bottom of a well and he told me.” Steamed Bun Invasion replied.
A bro at the bottom of a well? Ye Xiu was getting more and more confused, but thinking of Steamed Bun Invasion’s brain, he didn’t ask to find out.
“Come to Congee Forest!” Ye Xiu replied.
Glory’s map didn’t only consist of uninterrupted leveling areas. There were also quite a few commonplace transition maps. Similar to the numerous villages scattered around the outskirts of Congee City, these places were mostly used for quests.
Congee Forest was this type of place. Outside of Congee City, it was a forest close to Line Canyon. When there weren’t players there for quests, it was even more empty than those small villages.
“We’re meeting up at Congee Forest.” Steamed Bun Invasion quickly reported to Concealed Light.
“Here!” Concealed Light immediately figured out which direction to go in. Steamed Bun Invasion didn’t say anything further and directly followed behind him.
Concealed Light felt a bit lonely as well as confused.
Isn’t this Steamed Bun Invasion too simple? It’s not like we know each other, how could he just follow along without even asking who I am?
Concealed Light was puzzled over this question, but more importantly: he wanted to obtain approval. Every one of the guides Concealed Light had published had been seen by readers as nonsense, making him feel very angry. His guides were all correct. Why did those people say his guides were unrealistic? Why weren’t they saying their skill wasn’t good enough?
At this moment, he was leading Steamed Bun Invasion away from the pursuers with ease. Yet this Steamed Bun Invasion wasn’t even asking him how he could do it. Concealed Light felt very lonesome. He finally couldn’t take it anymore: “Do you know why we have to run this way?”
“Why?” Steamed Bun Invasion blurted out.
“Because the pursuers are around five coordinates away from us. By going in this direction, the positions of those five coordinates behind us are held by four houses that are blocking their view. If we went that direction you were previously going along, they’d have been able to find you in less than 10 seconds.” Concealed Light happily explained. He was looking forward to Steamed Bun Invasion’s next question. For example: how did you know that they were five coordinates behind.
