Chapter 337 – Underworld Trip

Ghost Wolf and the others were dumbstruck. They never expected the surrounding Bloodthirsty Porcupines to also turn against them. Everything far exceeded their expectations.

Were these Bloodthirsty Porcupines also the pets of that Thief? They were like hills with legs as they thundered toward Ghost Wolf’s group.

The four players were surrounded with nowhere left to hide.

There was no way they stood a chance against the lineup of a Golden Dragon and five Bloodthirsty Porcupines.

“Wily Six, save yourself. Go on without us,” Ghost Wolf anxiously ordered. The only player in their group who could escape was Wily Six. It was impossible for the rest of them.

“No! I won’t go!” Wily Six solemnly declared.

“Y-y-you fool! Get out of here!” Ghost Wolf glared at Wily Six. If he delayed any longer, all of them would die here. What was the point of throwing his life away when he could survive?

Wily Six gritted his teeth. He entered stealth and slowly melted into the darkness.

At this moment, a Bloodthirsty Porcupine rammed into Ghost Wolf and sent him flying.

The five Bloodthirsty Porcupines under Nie Yan’s control were far more terrifying than ordinary mobs. These cloth-armoured casters had no hope of surviving.

Bloodthirsty Porcupines normally didn’t pose much of a threat. But after becoming Nie Yan’s pets, they would move according to his will. They could flank, encircle, ambush, and use all sorts of battle tactics.

Ghost Wolf used a blink skill and reappeared over 30 meters away, only to be greeted with another Bloodthirsty Porcupine. It launched a hail of quills which resembled steel needles toward him.

「Put! Put! Put!」Ghost Wolf was turned into swiss cheese as the quills pierced his body. A string of damage values floated up above his head, and he was also inflicted with the poisoned status effect.

Ghost Wolf collapsed dead on the ground. The remaining Undead Raider and Dark Incantist also failed to escape. One was trampled to death by the Bloodthirsty Porcupines while the other was incinerated by Lil’ Gold’s Dragon Breath.

Glory Kill! You have obtained 5 Glory for killing an enemy civilian.

Glory Kill! You have obtained 3 Glory for killing an enemy civilian.

…

The amount of Glory a player gained differed according to the strength of the opponent. An equal levelled opponent granted 1 Glory, a higher levelled opponent granted more, and a lower levelled opponent was worth nothing. If a downed opponent was revived in the middle of combat, a corresponding amount of Glory would be deducted.

Nie Yan gained quite a bit of Glory since his opponents were higher levelled than him.

Only the Spectral Thief remained alive. Nie Yan didn’t know where that fellow ran off too, but he could still sense him in the vicinity.

Wily Six wasn’t willing to just leave after his comrades were slaughtered. So he lurked in the area, waiting for the perfect opportunity to avenge them!

Nie Yan suddenly sensed something as he turned his head toward a certain direction.

Eye of Truth!

Nie Yan’s eyes blossomed out with a mysterious light. His piercing gaze locked onto a silhouette in the darkness, whereupon he pounced forward like a bolt of lightning.

Shit! I was discovered! Wily Six was frightened by the sudden change in Nie Yan’s eyes which made him resemble a demon. He immediately crushed a Haste Scroll and fled for his life. He knew he was no match for this opponent in a direct confrontation.

Despite Wily Six’s best efforts, Nie Yan caught up to him in a mere 7 seconds and struck out toward the back of his head with Smothering Strike.

He’s fast! Wily Six inwardly exclaimed.

Gale Step!

Wily Six avoided the stun with the initial seconds of invincibility from Gale Step as he activated all his speed buffing skills.

The two players were like cheetahs sprinting through the wilderness. No matter how much Wily Six increased his speed, Nie Yan kept up with him.

How is this guy so fast!? Wily Six was badly frightened by Nie Yan’s speed. He was one of the top Thieves in the Night Empire guild. His amazing equipment and speed boosting skills allowed him to look down on all his peers.

But in front of Nie Yan, his speed became a joke.

When Wily Six recalled Nie Yan also had that Golden Dragon as a pet, he couldn’t help but admit that this human Thief was truly astonishing.

Nie Yan was also somewhat amazed by Wily Six’s speed. This Thief was actually quite fast. He had no choice but to activate Shadow Waltz, whereupon his speed immediately eclipsed that of this Spectral Thief.

Nie Yan closed the gap in an instant and stabbed Wily Six from behind with Backstab, causing blood to gush out like a fountain.
