As Frost Blade heard Wang Yu’s question, he was slightly taken aback as his extended hand was instantly retracted.
F*ck! The Quan Zhen Sect pressed him down on the ground and started beating him up without any hesitation. They even went on to strip him.
As the saying goes, one would rather die than to be humiliated. After what they did to Regis, how much familiarity points would they even have?
Indeed, after hearing Wang Yu’s question, Regis kept quiet for a while, “Give me back the fragments and I’ll give each one of job-specific equipment.”
“You can forget about offering us job-specific equipment too. As long as you give us our quest item, the fragments can be yours,” Frost Blade replied.
“How about each person one job-specific weapon?” Regis was resolute in getting back the fragments, so he increased his offer.
Job-specific weapon eh? It may be assumed that weapons and clothing were the main items for any player. Even though they were not rare, they were the most expensive especially to people like the Quan Zhen Sect. Moreover, for people with a hidden job like Wang Yu, the value of job-specific weapons is unimaginable.
For these few fragments, Regis was really willing to give up his hard-earned capital.
However, the more Regis acted this way, the more the Quan Zhen Sect got suspicious. They were merely some useless fragments. Are they really worth that much?
“Each person one set of job-specific equipment!” Ming Du started exercising his talent of being despicable as he started asking for the unreasonable. Regis glared deadly at Ming Du before stating, “Each person one job-specific weapon and clothes.”
“F*ck! Job-specific weapon and clothes! How? Do we want to exchange?” Seeing yet another increase in offer, an excited Vainglory asked.
Spring Halo sneered coldly, “No!”
“Why not? Isn’t it just a few broken fragments?” Vainglory asked in confusion.
“Simply because these are broken fragments, we’re not going to exchange. Think about it, why do you think Regis value these broken fragments so much?” Wang Yu asked.
“Could these fragments be related to the coordinates of the holy hidden grounds?” As a young man, Vainglory was not treacherous enough. Nevertheless, he was still very quick-witted.
“I can’t confirm that, but I know we are stupid if we choose to exchange it with him. None of these fellas are honest,” Wang Yu replied.
Since when was it easy to take things from NPC? He might offer job-specific weapon and shirt but who knows what level it is for? Giving a level 100 weapon might still prove useful in the future. Imagine what happens if he gave a level 1 weapon?
“Then…”
<System Notification: Your current team strength is less than 10%. Do you wish to give up on the dungeon?>
Just when everyone was conflicted, a system notification flashed across everyone’s eyes.
“F*ck! Fearless, what happened? Didn’t you say there were only ten enemies in this wave? How did all of you die so quickly?” After looking at the notification, everyone hurried to ask.
Previously when the third wave of attack started, there were still over one hundred players on the mountain. How did they end up with so little now?
“Enough nonsense! How are things on your side? Did you manage to get the quest item?”
“Almost! Just hang in there for a while more,” Wang Yu replied as he brought his sword back to Regis’ throat. After doing that, he turned to Frost Blade again. “Ignore him and continue touching him!”
Since everyone suspected that these fragments were related to the holy hidden grounds, it shouldn’t be too far off. There were 6 coordinates to the holy hidden grounds, but Frost Blade only had number fragments numbered 1-5. Therefore, there should still be fragment number 6 on Regis’ body. The teammates on the mountains couldn’t hold on for much longer so they had to find the last fragment in the shortest possible time.
“En!” Frost Blade nodded as he continued touching Regis.
If the fragments were related to the coordinates, what he did earlier wouldn’t be a waste of energy. Hence, Frost Blade was given new confidence.
Fearless’ side was comparatively more tragic. There were only ten monsters in the third wave, but these ten monsters were called the Holy Rulers.
These fellas were not only experts in close combat battles as they were also experts in magic who knew high-level light magic. They were the true all-rounders. During the second waves of attack, the Guardians of Berserk Heavenlaw were exterminated entirely. Without the frontline, they could forget about holding these fellas back. To stall for time, Fearless got everyone to attack these Holy Rulers before dispersing and drawing the aggro to the mountain.
Since this was the case and Magicians, who were never fast, never had the advantage against these Holy Rulers. Under their pursuit, only Fearless, Berserk Thundergod and about ten players were left.
The remaining players’ current situation did not look good as well. After being chased by the Holy Rulers, Fearless and co. were forced to the edge of the cliff with no other way out.
“Boss Fearless, given this situation, should we fight and try our luck?” Berserk Thundergod had already lost his rationality after being forced into such a predicament.
Fearless replied faintly, “Do not panic! We have to calm down!”
“How are we supposed to calm down?!” An irritated and frustrated Berserk Heavenly Thunder shouted, “Charge at them and we’ll be good!”
“That is what I call courting death. Our current completion level is only 40% and we can only be guaranteed minimum dungeon rewards if it reaches 60%. Since we’re not dead yet, there must be a chance for a comeback,” Fearless said.
“Boss Fearless, you know that you’re not fooling anyone right? So many of us have been killed by them so what makes you think the ten of us can last that long?” Moonless Thunder also commented.
Fearless scratched his chin and said, “After being chased for so long, did you guys realise something?”
“What?”
“For the long-ranged attacks, these Holy Rulers had to take their aim first before firing. As long as they cannot see us, they will not use their long-ranged attacks,” Fearless explained.
“What’s so odd about that? It is the same for me!”
“It’s different.” Fearless shook his head. “They are ordinary NPC so the basic settings wouldn’t change. So as long as we are not seen by them, they will simply follow their aggro to charge at us for close combat battles.”
“What? But we are all Magicians so how can we handle the close combat battles against them?” Berserk Heavenly Thunder asked.
“Haha! What do you know!” Fearless mocked Berserk Heavenly Thunder before throwing out his pink snake. Following that, a pink fog enveloped them.
At this moment, the Holy Rulers had already arrived opposite of Fearless and co. Just as they were about to attack, Fearless and co. disappeared out of their sight. Hence, they put down the long-range weapons and started moving towards the position of the pink fog.
“Shit! They’re coming!” The pink fog’s effect couldn’t be seen by his own teammates. As the Holy Rulers approached them, they couldn’t help but cry out.
“What’s there to be afraid of? See these fellas? Everyone, attack!” Fearless commanded them after pointing at the Holy Rulers.
“This…” Everyone exchanged glances but dared not attack.
“Truly a bunch of idiots!” Fearless cursed at them before forming his [Holy Sphere of Light] to throw over. He accurately struck the face of one of the Holy Rulers.
After the Holy Rulers were attacked, the one that got hurt took out his carbine as all ten of them formed into a straight row. “For the glory of the holy light!” After this shout, they charged towards the pink fog.
“Spread out!”
After Fearless gave his command, he casually put on a protective shield before running to the side.
