Following the map, Ye Xiwen quickly arrived at the kobold's territory.
The kobold was a type of creature with a dog head and a human body. It was different from the legendary Fuxi and Nuwa, who had a human head and a dragon body. The kobold was an existence similar to a mangy dog. It looked very disgusting and violent, so it was not liked by humans. Not only that, but this race also specialized in robbing people. Therefore, humans, especially merchants, hated them to the core.
Kobold: Level 10 Health: 800/800 Attack: 100 Defense: 35
The kobold was a normal monster race. However, as a monster at the edge of the city, it was naturally not as weak as the monsters in the Beginner Village. Its attack was still over 100. Its attack was not bad, but its defense was ordinary. The most troublesome thing was that it was a group, not just one. However, for Chu Rui. These things were just appetizers. Although there were three to five of them attacking together, there was no pressure.
He charged forward! Chu Rui fiercely stabbed his dagger into the throat of the kobold at the front.
"Gouge!"
"Ding! Gouge completion rate 83%! Attack triggered critical hit, attacking the kobold's weak point, dealing 687 damage! "
Now, Chu Rui's highest attack was close to 200. With a single Gouge, he was able to deal critical hit and attack the kobold's weak point, almost instantly killing it.
"Kick!"
"Ding! Kick completion rate 73%! Attack triggered critical hit, attacking the kobold's weak point, dealing 287 damage! "
With a flying kick, Ye Xiwen ruthlessly kicked the kobold to the side. Then, the blue dagger in his right hand fiercely stabbed into the chest of another kobold.
"Eviscerate!"
"Ding! Eviscerate completion rate 79%! Attack triggered critical hit, attacking the kobold's weak point, dealing 637 damage! "
Ye Xiwen's dagger poked at the kobold's chest. It really seemed to have touched the bone, and the dagger was sticking close to its flesh.
Ye Xiwen's left hand waved, and the spare dagger in his hand swept across another kobold's throat. A clean and beautiful Cut Throat was completed!
After receiving the last two attacks from the kobolds, Rui's footsteps quickened, and he quickly circled behind them. His two daggers fiercely stabbed into the back of the kobolds' necks.
"Backstab!"
'Ding! Backstab completion rate 87%! Attack triggered critical hit, hit the Kobold's weak point, dealing 706 damage! "
Although Chu Rui could attack two Kobolds at the same time due to his Dual-Wielding Mastery, Backstab could only be used on one dagger and had only one effect. Therefore, the unlucky kid who was attacked by the Blue Dagger was very tragic. Not only did he lose more than half of his HP, but he was also stunned.
After a few seconds of fighting, all five Kobolds were crippled. Chu Rui had taken two hits to test out his skill, but those attacks didn't even break his skin.
The afterimages of his hands flew, and he quickly dealt with the 5 kobolds. Each of them gave Rui 500 EXP, which was not bad. After picking up the copper coins that dropped, Chu Rui headed deeper into the kobold's territory.
Along the way, he encountered dozens of groups of kobolds. Chu Rui wasn't in a hurry to find trouble with the kobold leader. He used its puppies to practice his skills. He was originally an expert with daggers, so after a few rounds, he became more and more familiar with those skills. His Completion Rate was getting higher and higher. Although it wasn't 100% yet, it was hovering around 95%!
Chu Rui was now Level 14, and he needed 250,000 EXP to level up. Killing Level 10 kobolds didn't give him much EXP, nor was it challenging at all. Although he wanted to directly kill the kobold leader and take his weapon, that was too much of a waste of time. Moreover, he was also very concerned about the two warnings from the Thief instructor.
You're a Thief!
What was a Thief? It wasn't like an Assassin who hid in the shadows to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, but it was a different approach to the same goal. Although Thieves weren't assassins, they were in the business of hiding in the night market and ambushing people.
What was the impression of a Thief?
Despicable without the righteousness of a Knight, cowardly without the bravery of a Warrior, lowly without the arrogance of a Mage, wretched without the elegance of an Archer, shameless without the holiness of a Priest, lonely without the help of companions like a Summoner.
Thieves were the epitome of despicable and shameless. They were lonely and often accompanied by the darkness. Using poison, ambushing, stealing. They had many tricks up their sleeves and were definitely unparalleled among all the professions. However, these dirty tricks had also caused the Thieves to be criticized all the time. To put it nicely, they were Thieves. To put it bluntly, they were thieves. Although Thieves were very strong, they weren't liked by people. Moreover, to play well as a Thief, it was impossible without outstanding awareness and experience. Therefore, under these circumstances, the number of Thieves was very small. Most men would choose Knights, Warriors, or Mages. Women would also choose between Priests and Mages. Archers were still okay, but Summoners were a little unpopular. Overall, they were still better than Thieves. These situations were real. There was no need for any other explanation. Chu Rui could tell from the beginner's village that he stayed in.
What did the Thief Instructor mean?
You're a Thief?
The mission was to steal a weapon!
Could it be that kind of situation?
Chu Rui suddenly froze. His eyes lit up.
Thieves didn't want you to risk your life. Instead, they wanted you to play dirty and despicable until you died.
The Thief Instructor's mission was to steal the Kobold Chieftain's weapon. It didn't say that he had to kill it. The test of a Thief's strength wasn't about how strong they were. It was about using various methods to achieve the goal with the least cost.
Thinking about the Thief Instructor's repeated reminders, Chu Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath. If he followed the usual method of killing the Kobold Chieftain and then obtaining its weapon, even if he completed the mission, as a Thief, his evaluation would definitely be very low. Since that was the case, then he might as well steal it. It just so happened that he had learned Stealth. With Chu Rui's Stealth experience, he wanted to see if it was effective or not.
He didn't continue to tangle with the Kobolds. Although they were in groups of three to five, they were dragging a large club. Their speed wasn't very fast. It was very easy to shake them off.
Looking for cover along the way, he slowly made his way towards the Kobold Chieftain's location. It had to be said that although the map cost of one gold coin was a lot of money, it was still worth it. Basically, the entire area of Tajia City was mapped out. It was very convenient, and there was no need to worry about getting lost.
Perhaps it was on purpose. This Kobold Chieftain's territory was very suitable for Thieves. There were a lot of dark places. Even if he didn't use Stealth, he could still use the terrain to hide. It seemed like this was also a test for the Thief Instructor!
