Chapter 27 – The Fifth Floor (2/2)

“What? There are crossbow drops?”

At that moment, Fatty and TheFugitive had already gone down to the fifth floor. However, they didn’t dare to venture in too deep, and instead stayed near the entrance. The Skeletal Assassins’ attacks were way too strange, if they ventured too deep, they really might just die.

“Crossbows… What I lack most is a good crossbow,” TheFugitive muttered to himself as his eyes lit up in excitement.

“Kill them. We have to get us a crossbow,” TheFugitive looked towards Fatty.

“Then… let’s work together?” Fatty smiled towards TheFugitive.

“Do you know what level the monsters are?” TheFugitive took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

“Do you want the crossbow?” Fatty continued to smile.

“How?” TheFugitive clenched his teeth.

“I’ll draw the aggro and you kill them. Everything’s simple after breaking their stealth. We split the drops 50-50.”

Fatty dropped his stealth, then held a red potion with his mouth and gradually walked towards the center of the cavern with Frostfang in hand and ready to attack.

Meanwhile, TheFugitive was diagonally behind him on the right. The two advanced carefully as they inched deeper into the cavern.

The dark cavern glimmered with phosphorescence, and the occasional sound of bones shattering made everything all the creepier.

Crack.

Fatty stepped onto a bone. It was one that had existed for countless years, so just stepping on it turned it to dust.

Zing.

The moment Fatty looked down, a blade appeared in front of him and shot towards his chest.

Ding.

Fatty flipped Frostfang around and blocked off the Skeletal Assassin’s attack. However, the shock of the strike still made him stumble backwards, while his health bar dropped by a third.

The Skeletal Assassin immediately turned invisible once again when it saw that the attack did not connect as it wanted to.

TheFugitive observed carefully beside Fatty. Then he silently thrust Wasp Sting forward, damaging the Skeletal Assassin and launching it out of stealth.

“Lure it back,” Fatty drank another health potion, then began to attack the Skeletal Assassin with TheFugitive. As they slowly moved backwards, they gradually brought it near the entrance of the fifth floor.

Coil!

A silver python appeared in the air and wrapped itself around the Skeletal Assassin’s tiny body, trapping it for 10 seconds.

10 seconds was enough for an expert of Fatty and TheFugitive’s level to dictate the results of the fight. The two of them threw everything at the Skeletal Assassin. Although the monster was high level, it wasn’t a boss, so it wasn’t powerful to the point that the two of them couldn’t kill together.

10 seconds later, the Skeletal Assassin wailed, then fell to the ground and dropped a large potion.

“Ha, haha, a nice start,” Fatty picked up the large red potion, while he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“I’ll do it this time,” TheFugitive walked forward.

Fatty followed closely behind him. Then another assassin appeared with a flash of cold light.

…

“Everybody, pay attention. Avoid the small monsters. We’re going to the fifth floor as well,” Cloud Dragon Sailing was already in near melancholy due to Fatty. He already swore that he would kill Fatty countless times.

“Brother Cloud Dragon, the fifth floor is not a place where we can go,” Wind God’s World stopped Cloud Dragon Sailing.

“What? You don’t dare?” Cloud Dragon Sailing glanced at Wind God’s World, as if he was saying that they should go their separate ways.

“Brother Cloud Dragon, calm down,” Wind God’s World grabbed Cloud Dragon Sailing’s shoulder. “Look, the third floor’s monsters are already no pushover, and a few of our brothers died clearing a path out on the fourth floor. We can’t venture into the fifth floor.”

Liu Lan, East Gate BlowingWing, Xu Quan, and Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord led their subordinates behind the Cloud Dragon Gang. They looked at Cloud Dragon Sailing coldly without any intention of advising him. The more Cloud Dragon Gang members died, the happier they were. What’s more, if Wind God’s World didn’t have real-life cooperation with Cloud Dragon Sailing, he wouldn’t have bothered either.

Cloud Dragon Sailing turned around and swept his gaze across the other leaders.

“What? You feel happy about seeing my shameful display?” Cloud Dragon Sailing laughed coldly. “I will show you how absolute power crush those insects back down to level 0!”

“Cloud Dragon Sailing, what do I need to tell you to make you listen for a moment?” Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord had his arms crossed in front of his chest and a smug look on his face. “He stole the boss monster, but the boss monster wasn’t even yours. Why are you so mad when we aren’t?”

“LittleOverlord, are you opposing the Cloud Dragon Gang!?” Cloud Dragon Sailing said sullenly.

“No, no. I don’t dare oppose the almighty Cloud Dragon Gang,” Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord mocked. “The Overlord League is lonely and weak, we wouldn’t dare to offend a large guild like the Cloud Dragon Gang. Please don’t take me seriously. Show us just how you’re going to kill the two back to Level 0.”

Cloud Dragon Sailing glared at Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord coldly, then spoke in chat. “Contact the Fierce Dragon Gang. Tell them that I’ve locked down their enemy, TheFugitive. Get them to quickly send some people over and that I’ll pay their teleportation fees.”
