There was one more person behind her.
Ye Ci immediately sensed an unusual aura. It was a dangerous aura, but it was different from the aura of the players in front of her. It belonged to another player. Ye Ci estimated that there were a total of ten players pinned down by her enemies. Including the four who had died earlier, there were only fourteen players left. According to the information she had gathered, there were fifteen players who had attempted to assassinate her. That meant that the dangerous aura behind her belonged to the last person she had sensed.
Ye Ci pondered for a moment as she cast her skills, and came up with a plan to lure the last person out of his hiding spot.
She sprinted forward and chose a position close to the last remaining player. Then, she began to cast an AoE skill — — Net of Arrows.
Net of Arrows was a skill that required channeling. During the channeling time, she could not move. If she moved, the damage of the skill would be greatly reduced. Of course, even if she could move, Ye Ci would not do so. She needed a reason for the opponent to attack.
Therefore, she left her back open to the person behind her. Therefore, during the channeling time of the skill, she confidently left her back to the last member of the assassin group without any scruples.
She did not believe that the opponent would not ambush her in such a situation. After all, the rest of the team was pinned down by her. There were only two ways for the remaining player to go. He could either give up on the assassination and leave. Or he could seize the opportunity to kill her and collect the corpses of his comrades.
Ye Ci would have chosen the second option if she was in the same situation. After all, she was a person who believed in high risk and high reward. As long as there was a chance for her to turn the tables, she would not let go of it.
But what about the opponent? Ye Ci made a bold guess that Golden Era would choose the second option as well. It was not because she was looking down on others, but because the players would drop a lot of Secret Cloaks. There were only a hundred Secret Cloaks in the entire game, and Golden Era would never allow such a rare item to fall into the hands of others. Furthermore, the target of their assassination was one of them. It would be an insult to their reputation if they were to let such an item fall into the hands of others.
Ye Ci did not dare to guarantee that the opponent would take the bait. However, she believed that anyone with a bit of courage would not let go of such an opportunity.
As expected!
The opponent rushed behind her at lightning speed after she cast the skill. He raised two daggers and plunged them into her ribs. Ye Ci reacted quickly. Just as the daggers were about to pierce through her armor, the daggers melted against her skin and left two deep marks on her armor. The daggers had sliced through her armor!
After casting Eviscerate, the system notified him that he did not hit the target. This surprised March Spring. He did not hit the target? How could he miss? Was it a level penalty? Impossible. He frequently fought against other players in the Guild. He also frequently went to the Arena. He had faced players who were higher leveled than him. Similarly, there was a level penalty. Yet, his Eviscerate had never missed its target. Then, what had happened just now was …
Time passed quickly. Ye Ci did not give March Spring time to think about why he did not hit the target. She had already finished casting Net of Arrows. While March Spring was still in a daze, she had already turned around and attacked!
It's over!
March Spring Breeze was stunned for a moment. He felt a chill run down his spine as the shadow in front of him flickered slightly. He suddenly remembered Lazy Blue mentioning Gongzi You back in the Tang dynasty.
"She's too fast. She was so fast that I couldn't even see her movements."
March Spring Breeze had always wondered how fast it would be, but he had never been able to grasp the concept until now.
In an instant, no, it was even shorter than that. He felt a bone-chilling sensation spreading from his ribs all the way to his chest. There was no one in front of him anymore.
The warmth in his body seemed to be fading away. His body turned cold and stiff. March Spring clenched his dagger tightly. He wanted to swing it, but he realized that he had no strength left in him. He lowered his head and shifted his gaze with great difficulty. He finally saw the figure that had disappeared from his sight. He saw the woman that he was supposed to pin down.
At this moment, she was kneeling on one knee on the ground with her body lowered. In her right hand was a dagger that shone with a cold light. However, he couldn't see the blade of the dagger because the dagger was buried in the left side of his chest. It was also from there that a cold wind seemed to have entered his body, causing his entire body to become stiff and cold. She was holding another dagger in her left hand. The blade of the dagger was smooth and shiny, like a perfect piece of art. But why was the dagger pulled out?
March Spring did not have to think further. The system notification gave him the answer.
"You have been crippled."
Ye Ci rolled backward and landed in front of March Spring. Ye Ci was holding a dagger and a dagger. She looked at March Spring with a faint smile on her face. She tossed the dagger and dagger into the air and kept them at her waist. Then, she turned around and ignored March Spring.
She checked the time. There were less than ten seconds left before the trap's effect wore off. It was obviously impossible to kill the remaining five people in such a short period of time. Ye Ci did not want to waste any more time with them. She dashed to the six corpses and picked up their loot. Then, she ran into the depths of the forest.
The ice on Honey Barbie's body finally broke. She turned around to look for Ye Ci, but she was nowhere to be seen. It was as if Gongzi You had never existed in the Misty Forest. Honey Barbie closed her eyes and tried to sense Gongzi You's location, but she could not sense anything. There was nothing at all …
"Barbie …" a Hunter called out to Honey Barbie softly. Honey Barbie's eyes were bloodshot. She bit her lips tightly and roared angrily.
Her sharp voice echoed in the Misty Forest like a sharp knife slicing through a beautiful painting. Honey Barbie stood in the middle of the wet forest and panted heavily. Her body was trembling violently. It was not hard to see how furious she was.
The Ranger looked at Honey Barbie and felt a little uneasy. But when he looked around, he felt a sense of danger. "Barbie, what should we do now? The monsters in this map are too high leveled … "
Honey Barbie took a deep breath and raised a hand to stop the Ranger. She tried her best to calm herself down and reflect on her actions. She looked at March Spring. He was clutching his chest and gulping down a potion to stop the bleeding. His right leg was on the ground. It seemed like he could not move.
Honey Barbie took a few deep breaths and walked towards March Spring. She bent down and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
March Spring looked at Honey Barbie's lifeless face and smiled bitterly, "I'm crippled."
Honey Barbie placed March Spring on her shoulder and said to the rest of the party, "Let's go." She then told the other players to revive at the graveyard instead of picking up the corpses. It was too dangerous here.
The five of them quickly retreated from the Misty Forest.
"I'm sorry." Honey Barbie whispered to March Spring after a long while. She had been too impulsive today. Now that she had calmed down, it was easy for her to see through Gongzi You's intentions. But …
"Let's go back. There's no point in saying that." March Spring shook his head with a smile, "We're all comrades. Who doesn't act rashly?"
Ye Ci sat on a tree branch and stared at her loot. Six pieces of equipment were dropped by the six players. Three of them were Rogue equipment. Although they had good stats, Ye Ci was not interested in them. She would just store them in the guild warehouse when she returned to her guild. The three Cloaks of Concealment were the most valuable items.
She picked up one of the cloaks and saw that it was similar to the grey cloak she was wearing. However, it was obvious from the craftsmanship that the cloak was very delicate. Regardless of the material used or the patterns on it, it gave off a mysterious feeling. Especially at the bottom of the cloak, there was a circle of ivy-like patterns that added a little luxury to the dull cloak.
Cloak of Concealment
Level Requirement: Level 0
Class Requirement: No Class Requirement
Does not take up any slots.
The wearer can hide their level, ID, and appearance under any circumstances.
These were the properties of the Cloak of Concealment. They were simple, but overpowered.
Ye Ci stroked the Cloak of Concealment in her hand and narrowed her eyes. These three cloaks were her biggest loot today. It was a shame that she was outnumbered. She could have wiped out the entire party and gotten a lot of loot.
Ye Ci was looking at the cloaks in her hand when her private channel rang. It was NightAndDay. Ye Ci was surprised. Why was this person looking for her? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
