The Great Thief - Chapter 622

Chapter 622

Lu Li thought the previous incident was just an accident, but the events that followed after were out of what he had expected . People constantly appeared in this empty area to interrupt him .

This was Misty Valley of Stranglethorn Vale; players rarely came here because there were no minerals and herbs . Not to mention, these gorillas weren't easy to deal with either .

Even if these players had come to complete quests, Misty Valley was a big place, so there was no reason to specifically run into this area .

If they were Alliance players chasing after Horde players, it would make sense . The Alliance players would just be surprised to run into him, but if it was the other way around, the Horde players would attack him without the slightest hesitation .

With his assassin gear, Lu Li was capable of handling the situation while the intruding numbers remained in small groups, but when their numbers increased, the situation became different .

In the end, he had to escape with Gale Steps, but also meant that he broken the consistency kills for his assassin gear . Lu Li needed to vent his rage, so he followed behind and devoured these intruding players one by one .

These players dropped a few level 30 Silver equips which could be sold to make up for his maintenance fees . However, this was still not enough to make up for Lu Li's losses .

It seemed like he had been looked down on; he just wanted to level up!

Lu Li then continued to encounter a wide variety of players . They were all battling each other and they were clearly divided by their factions .

Since players from the same faction were able to fight each other, most of the time, they never bothered to check . It was normal for players to be caught in a conflict and raise their weapons at each other .

While he was caught in between the confusion, Lu Li ran into his greatest threat today .

Why was Gaze here? He wasn't by himself either . When Lu Li saw Cloudy Leaf and Wendelian with him, he felt the urge to curse a million times .

It wasn't just these three players – there were others too . There was a total of 30 to 50 of them, not including the other Stealthed classes that were probably hiding to the side as well .

Gaze had risen to the peak of his fame last year when he sold himself out for four million dollars . Lu Li had encountered him a few times and wouldn't dare look down on his technique .

Warriors naturally countered Thieves, and as Lu Li's level increased, he could felt this more and more .

Not to mention, Lu Li didn't expect all of these players to hold up to any level of sportsmanship .

Both parties almost reacted in the same instant . Lu Li rolled towards the bush beside him as Gaze directed his Charge towards him . Cloudy Leaf flashed and immediately casted Frost Nova .

Nobody else used any skills, but they all made their best reaction .

A Charge and a Frost Nova was enough . If Lu Li didn't cast Gale Steps, he wouldn't have been able to make it out alive . If he used Gale Steps, then it didn't matter how many spells they casted; it was better for the rest of them to stay put and block his escape routes .

However, Lu Li's reaction surprised them .

Lu Li's rolling motion to the bushes was only a bait . He bounced himself from the ground below him as he landed right back at his original position .

Gaze had already charged out and Cloudy Leaf had already flashed; they all ran ahead of Lu Li .

Lu Li ran away in the opposite direction . When he passed Wendelian, he didn't even hesitate to kick her in the stomach, which successfully interrupted her Soul Shriek .

All of this happened in an instant . All four professional players reacted based on their best judgement .

As for the average players, they might have only just understood what had happened, but their technique and reaction time prevented them from taking any actions . They could only watch as Lu Li brushed past them .

With his Shadow Cloak, the special effect from his boots and Gale Steps combined, he disappeared as soon as he appeared .

"Don't worry about it . Don't chase . We can't catch up," Wendelian called out as she calmly flicked off the dust and shoe print on her white Priest gown .

"Such a shame," Gaze sighed . "It was such a great chance . "

"There wasn't much hope to begin with anyway . He is very confident though, to travel alone by himself in an environment like this," Wendelian said as she shook her head . She didn't feel any remorse for Lu Li's escape .

The number one figure in the Horde faction was Sorrowless . As for the Alliance faction, most thought that the number one player was Lu Li . Although he had a weak foundation, his level was too high .

After Lu Li made his escape, he didn't walk around fearlessly anymore . He hid in the shadows and investigated his surroundings as he moved in Stealth . He also opened the area channel, the channel that he had blocked for a long time .

"My ***, I died again, fight me one-on-one . . . "

"Killing Alliance dogs . Team of four missing one player . Need to at least have half Silver grade gear to be considered . "

"HAHA, keep talking you Horde pigs . Why aren't you talking anymore? It must be fun losing all that experience . What happened to all the big talk when you guys killed me? I'm onto you guys; don't come if you're scared . "

Lu Li instantly lost track of the conversation from the spam in the area channel . Why was everyone so fiesty today?

Although Stranglethorn Vale and Southshore were the areas where most of the fights occurred, it had never been like this before . This place was worse than the street markets .

In Dawn, players weren't allowed to talk in any channel whenever they wanted .

The World channel was the channel that most people saw . To talk on it would cost players a certain amount of money, and they would also be restricted with the number of times they could talk . Players were also banned from swearing and advertising . Otherwise, it would be too hard to play the game in peace when Dawn's population was so large .

The Trading channel was specifically made for trading purposes, while the Faction channel was limited to players in the same faction . The Area channel was restricted to players on the map, and also required players to spend money .

Besides these, there was also the team channel (5 players), raid channel (more than 5 players), current channel, guild channel, system channel…

These were all free, but came with their own restrictions .

Although the payment for talking on the area channel wasn't as high as the world channel, most people wouldn't talk on it . There was no reason to spend unnecessary money .

Soon, Lu Li figured out what had happened; he didn't even need to ask his friends .

A dark red crow flew across the sky of Stranglethorn Vale, its feathers glistening under the sunset . The crow saw with its own eyes the various battles that were going on between the Horde and Alliance players .

There was a massive war in Stranglethorn Vale!

After a month's worth of hate festering on both sides, the first major war in Stranglethorn Vale had finally broken out .

Some players were reluctant to fight, but not everyone was this considerate – they just rode in and attacked . As such, it was only normal that everyone held grudges . Some were even killed in front of girls they had a crush on, so they held a greater grudge . Other players had their siblings, friends or relatives killed .

Stranglethorn Vale always had its own reasons for players to hold a grudge against one other .

Hence, on this very day, countless players joined in and spilled each other's blood in all corners of the map .

Lu Li searched for his own army . Ruling Sword was part of the Alliance faction, so there was no way they would miss out on a war of this scale .

This had become an area where no solo players could tread .

Skills flew around everywhere; it wasn't a surprise to be suddenly hit by a cold arrow . Even Thieves were forced to stay with the troops .

Lu Li never felt like he was invincible, but if he was knocked out from his Stealth, he could escape with Gale Steps . However, if he was knocked out from his Stealth after his invincibility expired, he could still die if he was unlucky .
