Translator: 549690339

Blood Mist Wind was actually quite dumbfounded. In his opinion, a powerful enemy was not terrifying. They had the advantage in numbers. Even if the enemy was a master, as long as his members found and shouted out their locations, Li Yao would surely die.

However, things didn’t go as expected. They saw the enemy in the beginning but couldn’t shout out. Then, in the following levels, Li Yao seemed to disappear like a ghost. He was nowhere to be seen, and his arrows shot forth like silent death. There was no time to shout, and they were instantly killed.

If it happened only once or twice, it could be dismissed. But the nightmare continued, even for the top players in the guild.

“Damn, I get it now.”

The person Blood Mist Wind had pulled into the team, known as Black and White TV, suddenly said while watching the massacre on the video feed. Black and White TV was the Vice President of Blood Leaf Guild, managing the daily affairs. He was clever and tactful, and it was because of him that the Blood Leaf Guild developed to its current stage. He was their Think Tank.

Blood Mist Wind asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“You guys have gotten it all wrong.” Black and White TV chuckled bitterly, “I’m afraid, we’ve become stepping stones for this guy.”

“I understand that. He is stepping over us to achieve his goals.” Blood Mist Wind frowned.

Black and White TV shook his head and said, “Yes, he is stepping over us, but not for the thrill of killing as you guys assume. He’s killing with a purpose – to complete a mission.”

“Hey, vice president, stop beating around the bush!”

Some of the guild members couldn’t take the suspense.

“The mission we received yesterday included deploying thieves. However, we couldn’t even get past the door. Even when we tried to infiltrate by scaling the city walls, we still couldn’t map the area. This indicates that stealth alone won’t fulfill the mission, considering the number of trolls keeping guard with their pets.”

Black and White TV continued: “So, we liaised with the quartermaster, who offered us another plan. We hunted scattered Drywood Trolls in other areas until we gathered over two hundred transformation tools. We blended into the army stationed at the stronghold and got assigned to different places where we could patrol. Then, we had the opportunity to draw the map and find loopholes while stalling the trolls in the stronghold. Am I right?”

“We already knew all this.” The members were even more puzzled.

“Well, that’s exactly the problem.” Black and White TV said, “This is where everything goes wrong. This guy is terrifying. Clearly, he has discovered our arrangement. You have to realize he is alone; he can’t access the high points and map the area even with stealth. He can’t eliminate the lookouts.”

Blood Mist Wind also connected the dots, his face turning as dark as the bottom of a pot. He said, “You’re saying that this guy has been finding and killing our members, and has been using the short gap in our defense to climb to higher points and map the area?”

“Correct. Although we might appear as trolls and have our data disguised, we are just players. Our livelihood and defense can’t match up to the real trolls. Can he instant-kill real trolls? No. In that place, battling trolls would only result in their number growing exponentially. It wouldn’t matter if he was one or thousands. They would all be engulfed. While we have blended into the trolls and many of us were assigned patrol tasks, we naturally became the weakness in the stronghold’s defense system. And to complete his mission, who else could he target?”

“Damn it, he actually wants to complete the mission stepping on our corpses.”

“Isn’t this bloody ruthless?”

Members started cursing angrily.

“Your swearing is pointless. We are from different factions. Intra-faction battles for missions are too common. Don’t we also want to kill him? It’s just survival of the fittest.” Black and White TV shook his head, “Killing him is the ultimate goal. And I think I might know who he is.”

“Who is it?” Blood Mist Wind asked, grinding his teeth. They had been struggling for two days with over two hundred members on these two missions. They were almost done with the first one and had a good start with the second. But out of nowhere, this guy appeared. It wasn’t just that they were outnumbered, but this guy was acting on his own which was infuriating.

“You forget the video we watched of the expert-level dungeon exploration the day before yesterday? Who else can play with a bow and arrow like that apart from Prairie Fire?”

“It’s him? Isn’t he leading his guild members in the Endless Plains? There are many other guilds over there now. Why would he run to this craphole to steal our opportunity?” The other members were full of confusion. Prairie Fire’s dungeon exploration and dominance in the ranking were shocking news. Even if they wanted to, they couldn’t ignore it.

“I don’t know why he is here.”

Everyone felt depressed. Some members had already started mocking Li Yao by name on the area channel.

“Hahaha, it seems your guild has some wise ones who figured out who I am.” This time, Li Yao did not hide his identity.

“Damn you, Prairie Fire. The Blood Leaf and your Starfire faction are sworn enemies.” Blood Mist Wind was furious.

“We have always been enemies. Isn’t that obvious? You seem pretty heated. Why not come kill me to calm yourself down?” At this point, there was no chance for reconciliation.

“Damn it!” Blood Mist Wind almost went mad from rage.

“He has reached the sixth level already. We have many people here. Let’s do this: we’ll station some people visibly and others in hiding. No matter how fast he is, he won’t be able to instant-kill two at once, right? He also has his weak points. As long as he reveals his position, he’s as good as dead.” Black and White TV said.

“Alright, you go ahead and get busy. I’ll arrange it.” Blood Mist Wind was genuinely enraged this time.

He immediately started organizing the plan.

Meanwhile, Li Yao on the sixth level was not in a hurry to finish mapping the final 8% of the defense layout. A vague memory flashed in his mind.

It seemed there was a special Troll Patrol on the sixth level. When killed, it would drop a top-tier short spear for hunters. Especially for Amazon, a special advanced elite profession among hunters, the spear was nothing short of a Little Artifact.

Li Yao was enticed. For him, the utility of this short spear was more than just replacing a blue-grade sword.

Moreover, killing the Troll Patrol meant more than just getting the artifact.

The sixth level clearly belonged to the ruling class. The environment was nicer, with waterfalls and lakes. The buildings were all made of stone or spacious caverns carved into the mountains, much better than the tents made of wooden poles and animal hides on the lower levels.

The sixth level wasn’t large, but it took Li Yao nearly twenty minutes to find the troll in a cave at the edge of the sixth level.

This cave wasn’t what it seemed. On the other side was a large terrace overlooking the mountains on the other side. The Troll Patrol stood on the terrace, looking up at the starry sky.
