“Yes, he is too strong…”
Hidden Lurker thought out Nian Liuyun’s words and could not help but worry…
The first time he was attacked by Wang Yu earlier, Hidden Lurker already found something amiss. Hearing what Nian Liuyun said, Hidden Lurker seemed to have found a ray of light in the darkness.
“Say, even if all of us work together, can we defeat him?” Hidden Lurker asked Nian Liuyun.
Nian Liuyun replied honestly: “If it was in the past, even if I can’t defeat him, escaping will not be a problem but base on the situation just now, he has become much stronger. If we fight head on, I won’t be able to survive more than ten rounds. And for you guys…”
“…” Hidden Lurker did not speak. Even if Nian Liuyun did not say it explicitly, Hidden Lurker understood. The battle between Wang Yu and Nian Liuyun was not something a normal player could take part in…
Nian Liuyun could only hold on for ten rounds but normal players could at best turn into ashes… They would not be able to hold on for even one round.
“Then when he was in Fantasy Garden, why didn’t he kill us?” Hidden Lurker thought as he spoke.
Nian Liuyun thought about it and said: “Could it be that he worried that his PK point would be too high and will be chased down by the guards?”
“No, Fantasy Garden is not far from the home city but it was not within the range whereby the guards would take the initiative to attack… I think he intentionally created a false impression that his focus was not on the BOSS.” Hidden Lurker said.
“Focus not on the BOSS?” Nian Liuyun did not understand.
Hidden Lurker further explained, “The Flower Goblin BOSS is not strong, they definitely had the ability to use brute force. While they could cleanly fight the BOSS, they took you guys on a wild goose chase. Don’t you think it is weird?”
“Yes, it is quite weird.” Nian Liuyun nodded and said: “Could he be buying time?”
“Right, he is buying time.” Hidden Lurker said.
Nian Liuyun said: “It is just a small BOSS, it is pointless to buy time.”
The Flower Goblin’s level was not high. Based on Wang Yu’s abilities, he could easily kill it even during a one-on-one duel. Furthermore, he had help. With more time, the Flower Goblin would have been killed several times.
“Yes, that’s why I think it is weird… unless?” Hidden Lurker was shocked as he spoke: “Oh no! Could they be capturing the Flower Goblin?”
“Capture the Flower Goblin?” Nian Liuyun responded. Killing the Flower Goblin was not difficult but capturing it was. Players from the United Alliance spent more than one hour to increase the Flower Goblin’s familiarity level for them to around 60%. Quan Zhen Sect’s people naturally had to use a lot of effort to capture it too.
“You guys avoid that evil spirit and leave from the south gate. We will make a detour from the west gate.” As he thought of this, Hidden Lurker hurriedly exclaimed in the guild chat.
They spent 1000 gold coins to buy this Flower Goblin BOSS. 1000 gold coins was not a small sum. Even Hidden Lurker, as a guild leader, saw it as important.
If the Flower Goblin was captured by Quan Zhen Sect, losing the 1000 gold coins was only a small issue. What if these unpredictable Quan Zhen Sect people spread the news that they have captured the Flower Goblin? By then, Hidden Lurker would not have the chance to even capture it.
“Ah? Detour?” Everyone was puzzled upon hearing Hidden Lurker’s orders, “Is there enough time?”
“Yes! They are also capturing the BOSS!” Hidden Lurker replied.
<<Rebirth>> did very well in terms of balancing the game such that a BOSS could not be easily captured. Based on the situation, even if they wore the Hundred Flowers Outfit, used the [Imperial Edict] to brainwash it, they would still need at least an hour to capture the Flower Goblin.
By then only ten minutes had passed. There was more than enough time to make a detour to the Fantasy Garden.
Little Lotus had the [Imperial Edict] skill so even if the BOSS was captured by Quan Zhen Sect, they could easily snatch it back. The worst situation was a stalemate where no one was able to capture it.
After giving his orders, Hidden Lurker and Nian Liuyun ran towards the west gate without stopping. Just as they ran out of the resurrection location, they heard someone yell, “Where are you going?”
“F*ck!”
Hidden Lurker heard it and as though he had been struck by lightning, he froze on the spot.
He saw Wang Yu appear from a roof with a smile, “I have been waiting for you.”
Hidden Lurker hurriedly sent Nian Liuyun a message: “Bring the guards here…” At the same time, he asked Wang yu, “How did you enter the city?”
The guards tightly guarded the city gate while there were archers on the city wall. If Wang Yu could barge in without a sound, Hidden Lurker might as well gave up on the game…
“Walked in.” Wang Yu said.
“…” Hidden Lurker was speechless for a while before replying, “Let’s negotiate. Can we put aside our issue? What do you want, I promise you everything.”
“Hehe!” Wang Yu laughed coldly and said: “What if I want your life?”
Hidden Lurker was such a despicable person so Wang Yu already hated him. Now, his face made Wang Yu felt disgusted. Hence, Wang Yu only had interest in slaughtering him.
Hidden Lurker turned and saw that Nian Liuyun already brought the guards and snickered, “If so, then you die first!” As he finished his sentence, Hidden Lurker dashed towards the guards.
Every resurrection location had four guards. Nian Liuyun brought the four guards from the dojo to within Wang Yu’s range of aggro. This triggered the rest of the guards from the seven resurrection locations to dash there as well, attacking Wang Yu.
The resurrection locations were on the central street where players gathered so originally it was already very bustling.
By this time, nearly thirty guards were on the move. All the players never saw such a big scene so they stopped to watch while it happened. In a moment, the entire street became chaotic.
The guards’ attacks were known for being simple yet aggressive, having a wide range, and ignorant of the consequences. With so many guards dashing around, players on the street were killed, some flew away, causing a chaotic scene.
Hidden Lurker wanted such an effect. He and Nian Liuyun made use of the chaos to dash through the crowd and entered a small alley.
The two of them barely ran a few steps and suddenly, a dark shadow descended from above, stepped on Nian Liuyun’s head and turned him into a bubble of white light.
“You, you…” Nian Liuyun’s white light faded. Hidden Lurker saw that it was Wang Yu and was frightened so badly that he fell paralysed on the ground.
“You are over-estimating yourselves to think you can escape from me.” Wang Yu blocked in front of Hidden Lurker and said calmly.
“All these guards cannot stop you?” Hidden Lurker said in shock.
“Guards…” Wang Yu smiled as he looked at the guards trying to make their way through, and said, “I still have many other ways to deal with them, such as…”
As he spoke, Wang Yu pulled and a mask covered his face, causing the guards to seem as though they had lost their target, turning around and leaving the alley.
“This…”
Seeing what happened, Hidden Lurker felt for the first time an innate sense of fear and helplessness. He grinded his teeth and pulled open his friends’ list to send a message out.
