83 Chapter 83 - Eliminating a threat for the people? (2/2)

The saved Dusky Cloud, however, felt more surprised than elated by this turn of event. This Priest acted so fast! This new Priest was able to bestow Heal on me before Vast Lushness' Holy Ball landed on me! Vast Lushness has Intelligence- and Spirit-based build, and yet her attack was easily nullified by this unknown Priest. Did this person actually add all points toward Spirit?

Dusky Cloud received another shock while he was watching the group draw closer. F*ck, here comes the Priest! And it's yet another female Priest!

When the group was close enough for Dusky Cloud to have a clearer look of the 'female Priest', he could not help but to be shocked again, F*ck me! It's just a guy that looks so much like a d*mn woman.

First he saved me, and then he saved the Thief, Vast Lushness was feeling baffled about what had just happened as well. She tried to unleash another attack on the Thief, yet Dusky Cloud had already activated the dagger's Vanish and disappeared from sight. Vast Lushness did not know where he was now, so she could only stay on her guard while taking note of the group of players approaching her.

There were five of them. She could tell that they were a Thief, Priest, Warrior, Knight, and Archer based on their equipment.

She was sure that they were not a grinding party, as no grinding party would have such a balanced job-class composition. Furthermore, a grinding party would always have a powerful AOE Mage in its ranks.

When the group finally arrived beside her, the Knight pointed toward Youye Valley and asked Vast Lushness in a courteous manner, ”Miss, what is this place called?”

”Youye Valley,” Vast Lushness answered.

”It's here?” The Archer asked suspiciously.

”Are you questioning my ability to determine the correct coordinates?” the Priest asked icily.

This group of men saved me, and then proceeded to save that guy as well. Now that they're in front of me, they're not even bringing it up? Vast Lushness could not tell what was going on anymore. Even Dusky Cloud who was on Stealth was at a loss.

However, only one answer could explain their question and their ignorance of their whereabouts: They were not local players.

”Miss, is this a high-level grinding map?” the Knight continued to question Vast Lushness.

Vast Lushness nodded her head, ”The monsters in this valley are at level 50.”

The Knight nodded. Four members of the group extended their hands toward the Archer, ”Pay up!”

The Archer paled as he took out his money pouch from his dimensional pocket with a trembling hand. He counted out 40 gold coins and divided them into four portions.

These five men were of course the five pros that made up Young Master's Elite mercenary group. They had made a bet before they set off. In light of Gu Fei's coordinates not changing despite being hunted, the four had surmised that he was hiding in a high-level grinding map that the regular players dared not enter.

Only Royal God Call presumed that Gu Fei had used the previous method of hiding in a cave to weather the storm. As it turned out....

”No!” Royal God Call suddenly returned all the gold coins inside the pouch although he had already separated it into four equal portions, ”We've yet to find that man. There's a chance he's actually in a cave within the valley.”

”That's not possible,” Young Master Han firmly rejected his hypothesis, ”This regional map uses a similar geographic coordinate system to Yunduan City's. Given that the numbers in the coordinates displayed are large, the chances of him being in a cave are almost non-existent.”

”Why didn't you tell me this before?!” Royal God Call asked indignantly.

”B*llsh*t! If I told you earlier, I wouldn't be earning 10 gold coins from you right now. Enough talking; just hand over the money already!” Young Master Han impatiently replied.

Royal God Call gazed accusingly at the other three men before him, yet they skillfully avoided his gaze. Obviously, the other three had already known of this fact.

”You're all scums…” Royal God Call fumed, as he divided the gold coins once more.

Brother Assist patted his back, ”Keep practicing! People will treat you as a joke if you call yourself a pro, yet you can't even read coordinates.”

It was too late for Royal God Call to regret making the bet now.

”So what now? Do we go in or call him out?” War Without Wounds asked.

”Can we go inside?” Sword Demon stared at the entrance to the level 50 grinding map, eager to give it a try. He sincerely wished to be able to do whatever Gu Fei could do, not realizing that his initial thought of being on par with Gu Fei had now been replaced by a chasing-after-my-idol's-shadow thought.

”He said he's being chased by hordes of players, right? Why don't I see anyone around, then?” Brother Assist said as he looked everywhere.

”Am I not a player?!” Vast Lushness was riled up by his crass comment.

Brother Assist laughed at her words but did not say a word. This woman was just a Priest. Was there a Priest who could hunt a player alone?

Vast Lushness had already gleaned clues from the five's snippets of conversation, ”You guys came from Yunduan City to kill that Close Combat Mage, right?”

The five froze up in unison.

”How should we address you, Miss?” Brother Assist asked after a bit.

”My IGN is Vast Lushness,” she replied.

”What are you doing here all by yourself?” Brother Assist asked further.

”I'm waiting for that guy to come out,” Vast Lushness said harshly through gritted teeth. Her intentions were made apparent to everyone who could hear her.

The five exchanged looks.

”Kill?” Royal God Call asked on the mercenary channel.
