200 As Resilient as Cockroaches (2/2)
”Leader, you be careful.”
***
Two Bandit went into the woods with Stealth activated, while the other two deactivated Stealth and revealed themselves.
Both of them were middle-aged men in their thirties, dressed in full black Bandit equipment. The two men vigilantly glanced around. Then, the sturdier one started to talk.
”Brother Six, can you tell me why that Tier 4 Aquamancer was so marvelous? Is he capable to use Stealth or Blink? Just a blink of an eye, he had escaped to behind Brother Four and the others. I can't figure it out.”
”Stop talking bullshit!” Brother Six cast a stern glance at Little Nine. ”Do you think the people of Twelve Zodiacs will spend 50,000 gold coins to hunt down a normal player party? Boss mentioned before, the combat video that they provided shows that there are at least two champions in this team, one of them is the Aquamancer who killed Brother Four and the others…”
He then sighed heavily.
”Hmph. You weren't there when Boss and I watched the video. Good heavens, I don't even know how to describe it. That Aquamancer is just like a phantom. He was nowhere to be seen and disappeared in the crowd of Twelve Zodiacs. It was totally chaotic at that time.
”Holy shit! Hey Brother Six, you watched that video before?” Little Nine eyes widened in surprise.
”Hehe, what do you think?”
Brother Six felt proud for a while, but then turned serious and said, ”Dude, do you really think that he is strong just because he killed Brother Four and others? You haven't watched the moment he slaughtered the Twelve Zodiacs' members. So many fell instantly! Not even a Beastblood Berserker could escape him!”
”How is that possible? The strength of Twelve Zodiacs is not inferior to Bauhinia...”
”Are you saying that I'm lying? Everyone was killed! All except the few Elementalists who had barrier casted.”
”…”
”The one from Bauhinia Clan, the one who called Slayer's Heart was also very formidable. You know the Field Commander 'Saga' right? That dude was also powerful, he brought four Elementalists and fought with Slayer's Heart. As a result, he was annihilated by Slayer's Heart alone. Saga did not even have the chance to touch Slayer's Heart. How is that for a change? Surprised? Slayer's Heart can also take a beating from a Level 47 Mutant Elite Boss, Slayer's Heart stood strong despite its attack…”
”What the f*ck!”
When he was done talking, Little Nine swallowed his saliva and cursed silently.
”Now you know the true value of 50,000 gold coins. When faced with this sort of target, it is best just to hold them down and wait for the Twelve Zodiacs' members to aid us… Otherwise…”
Brother Six then whispered, ”If we failed, we would not only be forfeited from our pay, we also will offend the people of that party. If shit gets real, we might as well delete this account and start playing with a new one…”
”…”
Little Nine went quiet again. What he said was true. After all, their target was the people of Bauhinia. If they wanted to continue hanging around in Mythical Battlefield, they must change their names. If not, they would be killed too fast that they would not even know how their equipment were dropped. The power of those big shots League was not something that a little backstabbing little group could handle.
Just as the two were starting to doubt the success of their plan, bad news came from the silence of the Death Silent Jungle.
Both Little Seven and Boss had died. The ones who killed them were the Bandit and the Aquamancer in the team, respectively.
”In ten minutes, I want Little Nine to go in. If something goes wrong again, Brother Six will go in after twenty minutes! I don't believe that they can hold in there for so long…”
When the order pinged in, the two started to calm down to build their nerves.
'Shit! It seems like Boss really wants to fight them just for the 50,000 gold coins of Twelve Zodiacs!'

Somewhere in the Silentdeath Jungle.
After killing two Bandits within ten minutes, Slayer's Heart's expression suddenly turned grave.
Several people, including Qin Ruo, felt a bit troubled. Even a fool knew that these Bandits were just buying time. If they continued to deal with them, they would not be able to achieve anything!
”Brother Slayer. I say, we should just continue deeper. The jungle is so huge, I'm sure it would be hard to track us down. If we do really stumble into the Twelve Zodiac, I'll… I'll take the vanguard and buy some time for us all.”
The party members immediately agreed to Qin Ruo's suggestion.
