Captain Don’t Open Fire asked incredulously, “What do you have in mind, Fearless?”
Fearless eyes turned into slits as he smiled, “You guys also have seen how fast Goblin is. As long as he does not want to be captured, no one can even touch him. We have to bait him into a trap.”
“Oh? Is it something related to the sealed treasure chest?” Captain Don’t Open Fire connected the dots quickly once Fearless stated his intentions… We are all equipped with divine weapons. No matter what type of BOSS he might be, he will not be able to escape his fate once he is trapped.
“Not bad…” Fearless nodded.
Captain Don’t Open Fire casually pulled out a bag of gold coins at Fearless and replied, “Okay, let us follow your arrangements. You hold on to that bag first. If you need more money, just ask me. We just need to catch that fellow.”
Fearless chuckled as he received the bag, “This is more than enough. Captain Don’t Open Fire, you sure are generous.”
Fearless then turned to Yang Nuo who was standing in a corner, pointing out to her the places where she needed to set up traps, “Place a hunting trap here, a flame trap over there, in that corner, put a frost trap too.”
Yang Nuo quickly got down to work and placed traps at the assigned positions.
Glancing at the traps set along the ground, Captain Don’t Open Fire inquired, “Aren’t we not using the treasure chest? Why are you setting up traps?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire had an exasperated tone.
Captain Don’t Open Fire thought that Fearless needed the gold coins for his plans but it now seemed that Fearless had no intentions for it at all… The bag of gold coins was also not a small sum of money. Of course, Captain Don’t Open Fire was a little irked.
Fearless saw Captain Don’t Open Fire displeased expression and quickly justified himself, “Who said I was not using the gold coins, I will use it later.”
Fearless shouted out to Wang Yu who was busy chasing Treasure Hunter Goblin, “Old Bull, bring me the treasure chest.”
‘Treasure chest?” Before Wang Yu could even finish his sentence, when Treasure Hunter Goblin heard those two words, his interest was piqued. He slowed down and gazed intently at Wang Yu.
When Wang Yu whipped out the sealed treasure chest, Treasure Hunter Goblin was salivating all over the floor in excitement.
Although the sealed treasure chest was not decorated with any opulent ornaments, there was an ancient and heavy feel to it. It was probably a higher grade than the average treasure chest. The greedy look in Treasure Hunter Goblin’s eyes intensified as reached out with both hands and walked steadily towards Wang Yu, “Give me… Give me.”
Seeing Treasure Hunter Goblin’s covetous demeanour, Wang Yu was slightly surprised. He held the chest and said, “Come over then, I can let you take a look.”
“Really?”
Was Treasure Hunter Goblin really that naive or he had full confidence in himself? He showed no fear as he walked towards Wang Yu.
As Treasure Hunter Goblin approached closer, he was about to enter the attack radius of the sealed treasure chest. Wang Yu reached out and opened the chest.
“Don’t do it!”
At this instance, Fearless saw that Wang Yu was about to open the chest and hurriedly cried out.
Wang Yu had already opened the chest by the time Fearless’ words could reach him. A black light rapidly shot towards Treasure Hunter Goblin.
“We are finished…” Seeing this scene, Fearless heart tightened in fear.
While Fearless was still grief-stricken, Treasure Hunter Goblin once again turned in a ray of green light and escaped from the attack radius of the treasure chest.
“This… How is this possible?”
Seeing that Treasure Hunter Goblin had escaped from the grasp of the sealed treasure chest, Wang Yu had a face of disbelief… He could even avoid this, what was this sort of speed?
“That’s great!”
Seeing Treasure Hunter Goblin flee, Fearless finally let out a long sigh of relief as he was drenched in sweat.
Captain Don’t Open Fire once again saw Treasure Hunter Goblin slip from their grasp. His face darkened as he turned towards Fearless, “Fearless, I did not short change you at all when you needed money. What is the meaning of this? You need to give me a proper explanation!”
Fearless did not even bat an eyelid as he replied, “What are you so anxious about? Do you want this quest to result in failure?”
“??? What does that even mean?” Captain Don’t Open Fire was even more confused than before. It was obvious that it was because of Fearless’ sudden shout that scared off Goblin. Now that Fearless was trying to pin the blame onto Captain Don’t Open Fire, it was simply preposterous.
Treasure Hunter Goblin, who was just inches away from death, chuckled. “Gugugu, this treasure chest is quite interesting. This old uncle almost lost his life right there. Hmph, using these sort of tricks against me, I shall let you guys not get anything.”
Hearing Treasure Hunter Goblin words, Captain Don’t Open Fire and the rest finally awoke from their momentary shock. This sealed treasure chest had previously destroyed monsters thoroughly until no trace of them could be found. Since their items were still in Treasure Hunter Goblin’s sack, how could they use this chest to trap him? Even if they managed to catch him, what use would it be if they could not get their items?
Was this mission going to fail in front of their eyes since they could not use the sole item that could catch Treasure Hunter Goblin?
“F*ck!”
Captain Don’t Open Fire let out a few expletives in annoyance. He once again looked helpless towards Fearless.
“I’m done. What do you plan to do?”
Yang Nuo had finished setting up the traps and approached Fearless for further instructions.
“Just watch for now!”
Fearless nodded and bellowed to Wang Yu, “Old Bull, throw me the treasure chest!”
“Mhm!” Wang Yu immediately nodded and threw the chest in his direction.
Treasure Hunter Goblin, who was situated not far away, turned in a green light as he reached out to grab the treasure chest. The chest landed securely in his arms.
“F*ck! Fearless you idiot!” Wang Yu saw the treasure chest was being taken away in front of his eyes and he was outraged. All the others had a sullen expression on their faces.
Previously, Treasure Hunter Goblin had only his speed to rely on, he did not pose much of a threat to players. But now that the treasure chest was in his hands, everyone was in danger.
Treasure Hunter Goblin snickered in laughter, “Gugugu! This treasure is finally mine!”
“Is it?” Fearless grinned deviously and threw a Holy Flame in his direction.
Treasure Hunter Goblin saw the incoming projectile and wanted to dodge it. However, this Holy Flame could lock on to its target thus Treasure Hunter Goblin could not shrug it off.
“Hey!”
Treasure Hunter Goblin slowly retreated backwards in the face of the Holy Flame. To his horror, he heard a crisp sound and his foot was caught in a hunting trap.
“Gugu! Despicable guy, you think this is enough to catch me!”
Treasure Hunter Goblin let out a few more blood-curdling shrieks as he smashed his leg down on the hunting trap and further retreated. Before he knew it, the Holy Flame reached its target and engulfed him in flames.
