Chapter 870 - Unique Skill (1/2)
Nie Yan chuckled. It appeared Xie Yao had come up with quite a few clever tricks to progress with this quest.
“These tribal villages only have NPCs roaming around them. Their levels vary, but the ones in full armour are all really powerful. Last time I came here, I killed one of them, and my crime instantly rose by 300. We can’t fight them and they won’t let us waltz in either; they’ll ring the alarm if we do and surround us,” Xie Yao explained, thinking back to her many, painful attempts.
“You found a way to sneak into the center of the village?” Nie Yan asked. Since Xie Yao had made it to the final part of the quest, that meant she had gotten through all these obstacles before.
“Yeah.” Xie Yao nodded.
“You take the lead, I’ll follow behind you,” Nie Yan said. If a Mage could sneak in, it would be even easier for him as a Thief.
Xie Yao’s face froze awkwardly.
“Huh, what’s the matter?” Nie Yan asked.
“Uh, I got in by using Blink…” Xie Yao replied.
“Oh! I see.” Nie Yan chuckled. “In that case, you sneak in first. I’ll catch up with you.”
The street leading into the village was filled with guards. Even Nie Yan would have a hard time sneaking through there unnoticed, to say nothing of Xie Yao.
“Alright.” Xie Yao nodded. She was confident Nie Yan could sneak into the village with ease.
“Show me how you get in,” Nie Yan said. He wanted to see how Xie Yao blinked her way in.
Xie Yao looked at her surroundings, altering her position little by little until she was happy. She watched the movements of the NPCs, waiting for them to reach a specific position. Exactly five seconds later, she moved forward.
She was showing herself! Another second and the guards would surely spot her! Nie Yan couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat on Xie Yao’s behalf.
At this moment, the guards crossed paths, and Xie Yao just happened to be in their blindspot.
Xie Yao mentally kept track of the time. Three seconds later, she blinked twice and arrived beside a wall seven meters away. When the guards turned their gazes back to the village, they overlooked that specific corner of the wall.
Two guards blocked the path up ahead. For a moment, they turned their gazes away, and Xie Yao blinked behind them. Another two seconds, the patrolling guards in the distance looked over. Too late. She’d positioned herself perfectly behind the burly guards.
The two guards suddenly sensed something off and turned around to look behind them. Again, too late. Xie Yao was already long gone. Seeing nothing suspicious, they turned their heads back. They would’ve never expected someone was behind them only a moment ago.
