Chapter 110 Hideout! (1/2)

Ten minutes later.

Michael successfully tailed them towards a small but open land in the middle of the mountain through a hidden path, where he is currently facing a cave mouth surrounded by a makeshift wall, and from the looks of it, three fireballs from a Wizard is enough to destroy it, with two watchtowers with both having two lookouts, where one tower is facing the direction where the two bandits that Michael followed towards here took earlier, while the other one is facing a wide road that probably leads to somewhere in the mountains.

'I need to look for a blindspot around the watchtowers so I could sneak in without fighting a head one battle with them'

Being an assassin, Michael's preferred way of killing someone is by assassinating them, be it they are real humans or just computer generated beings.

Michael sneaked around the small camp from a distance, while making sure that the tower guards wouldn't spot him, and the good thing for him is that it's already dusk and there's only a few minutes left before the sky darkens, so tower guards would have a hard time spotting him.

Michael then went to look for a good place to pass the time until the sky fully darkens, not knowing that Solitary Tempest had already led a group of players to the path he had taken, as the distance between the two groups are shortening as the minute goes by.

Even Michael would be hard pressed when he faces off against Solitary Tempest and the team she had brought with her to hunt him down.

He sat behind a huge boulder, while he devoured a couple of breads to restore some of his missing health when he was being chased by some of the monsters before, and didn't have the time to restore his health.

A shadow is fleeting through the gaps of the rocks, as it moved around the small hideout of the bandits, where the only illumination of the place is the moonlight and the torches on the crude wall of the mountain bandits.

A pair of glowing eyes peeked through the side of a small rock formation, while gazing towards the direction of the illuminated bandit hideout.

”It seems that place is just enough for me to crawl through without getting spotted by the tower guards”

Michael mumbled to himself as he stared at a particular direction, where there is a crawl space just below the wall caused by some kind of a rock mineral, and the bandits just built over it, without even thinking about what would happen when someone discovers it.

Michael then slowly made his way towards it with stealthy steps, while using the rocks, boulders and the blanket of darkness to hide himself from the eyes of the bandits manning the watchtowers, while at the same time, he also activated his [Stealth] to increase his covertness.

He also discovered that he wasn't alone anymore, as he had already found out that Solitary Tempest along with a group of players are camping below the valley, but the good thing is that they still hasn't discovered the hidden entrance of the bandit's hideout or else, they would've already stormed towards this place.

Meanwhile.

A group of six players, three females and three males are sitting around a campfire as they discussed what their next plan is.

All of them aren't even worried that the monsters whose abilities were enhanced during night time would attack them. It was because they are surrounded by a cliff wall on their backs, and at both sides are rock formations that would protect their group as they acted as natural walls, leaving only one exit and an entrance that would be easier for them to defend in case a monster does attacks them.

”The rest of the members would arrive at this place after three hours. It would have been less than an hour if the path isn't blocked off by the territory of the Mountain Trolls”

”And that bastard is surely hiding around here, and probably watching us already”

”Hmmp! The moment that everyone gathers is the day that he dies, and we can finally finish off those bandits!”

”Of course, I'm pretty sure that there's a path somewhere around here that leads towards the other mountain, and those Bandits must be hiding somewhere around there!”

”But we can also treat this place as our secret hunting ground! We can treat this place as our own backyard where we could raise our levels easily without any interference from the other guilds! They probably wouldn't expect a great monster map hiding in between these two mountains! This place is practically a treasure grove for EXP, and items!”
