The Great Thief - Chapter 241

Chapter 241
“You can come back now . Stand where you were before . ”


Lu Li commanded Sakura Memories to return to the formation while he continued to deal damage . Even though the damage output was decreased due to the formation, this strategy was very safe and easier to execute with less-experienced players such as Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan .
If you were debuffed with the plague, you would run away . If you were debuffed with the disease, then you would stand in place .
The second person that was afflicted with the plague was Moonlight, who reacted before Lu Li could call his name .
After this, Remnant Dream was finally affected with the plague . She knew that she had slow reactions and had anticipated the debuff . As soon as Lu Li called her name, she bounced out like a rabbit .
Lu Li praised her unwillingly because she had placed all her attention on him while waiting for her name to be called out . However, this caused her to miss all the arrows she fired, placing her near the bottom of the damage output chart .
As for Hachi Chan, even though she was airheaded, she had very good reactions . This explained why she always did well in quests .
Lu Li wasn’t worried about the others as they were all PVE experts .
With the debuff-rotation strategy, Verdan the Everliving was quickly killed after about ten minutes . However, because there were ten people, the EXP reward was quite mediocre .
“I received 1 SP!” March Rain exclaimed happily . She was always in need of SP because priests had more skills to level up .
“Anyone else get SP?” Lu Li asked, disappointed .


Everyone shook their heads .
“Whatever . Let’s see what the boss dropped . ”
Remnant quickly gathered the loot from the battle .
She first picked up a Deviant Oak Seed, which was a rare material used in Alchemy . Lu Li gave this to Sesame Rice Ball .
“Ah, why did you give it to me?” Rice Ball was surprised .
“You’re the one that provides all the health potions; you deserve to take this rare material,” Lu Li said generously .
“Then… I’ll take it . Older brother Wandering, don’t forget to deduct points . ” Sesame Rice Ball was very serious about the point system for distributing loot .
“It’s not even an equip . I’ll just deduct 2 points,” replied Wandering, who was visibly displeased .
Apart from the rare material, there was a Silver-Grade Mage Hat for Mages and Warlocks . Since Sesame Rice Balls took the rare material, the hat was given to Lonesome Flower .
Lonesome Flower’s old LV15 Silver Grade Hat was given to Sesame Rice Ball .
The two pieces of gear were similar and both had a useful active . The only difference was that the high-level hat had better defence and stats .


“Where’s the last Boss?” Azure Sea Breeze was about to cry because not a single tank equip had dropped .

“It’s back at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon . I know a short cut, but you must follow me closely,” Lu Li replied as he prepared himself and jumped down the cliff .
Below was a small but deep pool of water . If you missed the water, it would be certain death .
This shortcut was developed by players who wanted to break the Instance Dungeon clearance record . The dungeon was studied and examined very carefully to find methods of reducing their clear time .

The location shortcuts were really just common sense .
After realising that Lu Li was still alive a few seconds later, the others cautiously jumped down .
They kept Lu Li’s words in their minds and followed him very closely through the narrow road, eventually gathering at the dungeon entrance .
The three NPCs were still there .
After turning in two quests for a decent amount of EXP, they followed Lu Li and arrived at Navarax’s disciple Muyoh .
The Tauren stroked his beard and said intensely, “You did not let me down . Now I can awake Navarax . Come and help me, brave adventurer . ”
“Everyone accept the quest . ” Lu Li wrote on the team channel .
“What do we need to do?” Lu Li asked the NPC as the party representative .
“The Earth Mother guides you . I need your help . The Fanglords are dead! All hope is not lost! The awakening ritual is quite complex, however . It cannot be done alone . ” The old Tauren seemed quite troubled .
“Don’t worry – we’re here to help . ” Lu Li didn’t mind being guided by the Earth Mother . Without the Tauren’s quest, they wouldn’t be able to fight the 8th boss .
“I will handle all the necessary preparations, but I will need you to protect me . The nightmares summoned from Navarax’s journey through the Emerald Dream prove to be quite formidable . Without your help, the mission is doomed . When you’re ready to defend me, say the word, and I shall lead the way to Navarax’s chamber .
“Are all Tauren this chatty?” Azure Sea Breeze mocked him .
“I’ve done the necessary preparation,” declared Lu Li as he patted himself on the chest .
“Walk with the Earth Mother . The winds will guide you . ”
The old Tauren happily nodded and led everyone into the depths of the Instance Dungeon .
“There might be a lot of mobs later; we must protect the Tauren . Sea Breeze, go ahead . Wandering and Moonlight, stay on either side of the Tauren and protect him,” Lu Li instructed .
The Tauren continued walking as waves of Elite Grade Monsters were summoned . They were all LV25 and gave excellent EXP .
These monsters were different to the deviant versions . They had all been summoned from the Emerald Dream, so they were much stronger .
However, compared to Serpentis, these mobs were much easier .
Eventually, they arrived at a cave .
A Night Elf lay on the floor in a deep sleep with powerful Nature Elementals surrounding his body . This Druid was far from ordinary .
Navarax!
Muyoh stood in awe before the great Druid and was afraid to go near him . He turned around and said to Lu Li and others, “As you can see, a powerful Druid is dreaming . ”
“What should we do?” Everyone wanted to help out the Tauren .
Just say it, brother, we’ll do anything you ask!
“Protect me, brave souls, as I dive into the Emerald Dream to rescue Navarax and put an end to this corruption . There will be powerful monsters from the Dream that will attempt to stop me . Friends, you must not protect me while I perform the ritual,” Muyoh said worriedly .
“The Earth mother guides you . We’ll protect you with our lives,” Lu Li replied formally .
