Chapter 34 – First Come First Serve (1/2)
Chapter 34 – First Come First Serve
“You sure are a brave boy!” Qian Lin looked at me, not with praise, but rather with some arrogance as if he was saying, “little boy, I knew that you would accept when I said that.”
In addition, for a lone player to complete a quest of B difficulty, especially if that player was a healer, would be slightly *cough, very* hard.
But, a promise is a promise, and since I’ve already promised to get that medicine/potion, I must find a way to get it.
I raised my Ancient shining spear and advanced.
……
To the north, the entire map was blood-red. That is definitely where the laboratory is, but I have to find the entrance to it first.
Sha sha…..
As I move forward, my white shoes step on the black pliable grass. The entire area around me is filled with bones and the stench of death. The air is filled with flies, and the corpses sometimes even twitch, but I don’t worry since none of the corpses show signs of reincarnation. Even if it does, I would have an advantage, since it would be newly reincarnated.
“Hmmm?”
Looking at the minimap, a small blue dot had disappeared. I knew this was a sign of another player, so I was not alone. There were several reasons for it to suddenly disappear: death or stealth. Of course, a player could also recall back to the city or suddenly go offline, but the chances were slim…
I kept moving forward. At the same time, I sneaked glances behind me. As predicted, invisible footsteps appeared on the delicate grass. Here he comes!
I quickly turned around and swung my spear in a wide arc.
Clang!
The blow of the spear heavily clashed with a green dagger, diverting it and knocking its owner back. The assassination attempt had clearly failed. The assassin who appeared was approximately around 20 years old and carried high level expensive equipment.
ID: Wind Chaser
Level：25
Race：Undead
Class: Assassin
……
Wind Chaser saw that his attack had been diverted. and he immediately prepared for round 2. With his dagger, he used【Gouge], a skill unique to assassins used to stun enemies. It’s the ace of their trade.
“Baby Bobo, attack!!”
With a golden hexagram flashing on his stinger, the deadly Baby Bobo quickly emerges and immediately does a Lv. 3【Combo]attack. Two quick attacks come out. Baby Bobo’s combo can do a maximum of three attacks and a minimum of two. The skill deals a fatal amount of damage to Wind Chaser.
319!
331!
Being hit by those two strikes, Wind Chaser’s body turns limp and slowly collapses to the ground. His resentful voice emerges before he falls: “Xiao Yao Zi Zai, just you wait; this map will be your grave. “
I frowned deeply while looking at his corpse. Where did he come from and what would he gain by killing me? It seemed like he had been waiting for my arrival to assassinate me, but he didn’t expect Baby Bobo, which resulted in his death.
I could see two possibilities. Wind Chaser was either from Liu Ying or The General. However, since the character of the The Generals was pretty decent and they didn’t hold a big grudge against me, it could only be Liu Ying. Liu Ying’s finally taking action to kill me within Ba Huang City.
I bend down and pick up what Wind Chaser dropped: a green tiered leather armor. Unfortunately, I couldn’t equip leather equipment but it should be worth at least a couple of gold coins, so I throw it into my inventory.
I moved on with my spear resting on my shoulder, while shaking my head and saying with a smile, “I don’t care if you try to kill me. I’ll go and do my mission. If you come, I’ll be happy to send you to your grave.”
……
The closer I got to the core of the map, the worse the smell got due to the increase of rotten corpses. Any normal player would have turned off the smell system because of the suffocating smell, but I didn’t since I’ve been accustomed to the smell of death since long ago and I couldn’t afford to lose one of my senses when someone is trying to kill me.
In the distance, I saw a bloody, giant’s skull that’s half buried in the ground. You could see it had recently been placed there, it was still leaking huge droplets of blood and had maggots crawling all over it. There was a large man-sized hole between its sharp teeth. This must be the entrance to the laboratory.
Ughhh….
I almost vomited after seeing the entrance. Whoever designed this map definitely has a really sick taste.
I squint my eyes together as I enter the Giant’s head. As expected, there are stone stairs which continue down into darkness. It looks kind of fishy, but I continue anyways.
Ding!
System Notification: You entered the【Black blood Cave – First Floor](A Wicked Warlock’s laboratory)!
……
Yes, I found it!
In front of me is a swallowing darkness. My vision was limited to about 1-2 meters in front of me. I’m completely dependent on the red dots shown on the minimap to avoid or encounter monsters. As I descend the final step of the stone stairs, I emerge onto a moist stone floor. Less than 10 meters away, there are two red dots, and they’re emitting a few low growls.
As I slowly move forward with one hand pressed to the wall, my hand hits a moist object. Bringing my hand to my face, an oily smell invades my nose. Holding up the Ancient Shining Spear and using the light green light emitted from the spear, I saw that my had had hit a lamp. Underneath the lamp was a steel ring, and after pulling on it, the entire cavern lighted up.
Slightly farther away were two zombies in tattered clothing. I attempt to see their attributes…..
【Merciless Zombie]（Ordinary monster）
