The so-called bush was actually a large patch of dense grass that was as tall as a person. If a person walked in it, it would be difficult to hide, and their movement speed would be greatly reduced.
Lu Li had been avoiding this kind of terrain and would rather take a detour than walk in it.
Now, the question in front of them was whether this person was one of their own or a member of the Gale Legion, or just a simple monster.
Lu Li jumped down from the tree and turned into a leopard when he landed. He didn't take any damage, then maintained his leopard form and jumped through the forest. He planned to ambush his opponent in front of him.
The grass was very large, and it would take a long time to go around it.
Fortunately, the person in the grass was walking slower, so Lu Li was able to successfully intercept his opponent.
He didn't go into Stealth, but simply hid behind a tree. As long as he could deceive his opponent's Detection, it didn't matter if he used Stealth or Physical Stealth. In this kind of rainforest environment, it was safer to hide behind a tree.
The person who was trudging through the grass wasn't a monster.
As he pushed the grass aside, he cursed, "What kind of stupid map is this? Leader, you think you're so great? You're just messing around. Maybe you'll lose even worse than a normal map …"
This map was chosen by Wendelian in order to catch them off guard.
In fact, this map was a headache for Ruling Sword. Gale Legion didn't like such a harsh environment either. They had trained on this map many times, and each time, they were tortured to death.
Playing virtual reality games was tiring, both mentally and physically!
Torrent tried to keep moving in a straight line. He summoned an Icefield Bear as a pet. The Icefield Bear wasn't very strong in combat and its defense wasn't very good, but it was the largest pet he had. Its huge body could crush the tough grass when it moved, so it had no problem using it to open a path in such a harsh environment.
The Icefield Bear didn't like the hot and dry environment of the rainforest, so its loyalty dropped very quickly.
Apart from the EXP and level of a Hunter's pet, there were two other important factors. One was loyalty, and the other was mood.
Pets also had moods. Generally speaking, they had three moods. One was happy, one was calm, and one was tired. When they were happy, their loyalty grew the fastest. When they were calm, their loyalty basically didn't change. When they were tired, their loyalty would drop rapidly.
Among them, there were many reasons for fatigue. They had been fighting monsters for too long without any food. If the owner comforted them, they would be in a bad mood. There was also hunger. Some rookie or careless hunters would forget to feed their pets. If the pet was hungry and unhappy, the pet would bite its owner. Also, the pet did not like the environment and behavior. If you let a bear pull a sled, it would definitely bite you. If you let a penguin run the Blackrock Spire Instance Dungeon, it might jump into the lava and commit suicide.
Loyalty depended on the pet's mood for a period of time, and there were six levels in total. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net]
Level one was described as "rebellious". As the name suggested, the pet would not fight monsters. It would only fight against the owner.
Level two was described as "difficult to control". The pet at this level was very disobedient. If you let it fight a dog, it might go for a chicken. Its attack power was also very weak, and it was in a weak state.
Level three was described as "obedient". Although it would listen to the owner's orders, it was not loyal enough. The pet's strength at this level was very limited.
Level 4 pets were described as "reliable". Pets at this level could help their owners and hit wherever they were pointed.
Level five was described as "trustworthy". Without too many orders, the pet would react defensively or offensively according to the situation. This was a handy little helper.
Level six was described as "loyal". Pets that reached this level could increase their overall strength by 20%, which was very rare. Ordinary pets rarely reached this level, and even if they did, they would not be able to last for too long. It was said that the duration depended on the pet's breed.
The Tundra Snow Bear was obviously not a breed that could easily reach level six. Torrent didn't expect it to reach level six, as long as it didn't drop to level two.
The bear shook its butt and panted as it patted the thick grass. Its eyes were filled with helplessness, annoyance, and occasionally a hint of fierceness. It was obvious that it had basically reached level two. Fortunately, they were about to reach the end of the grass, so Torrent didn't think about changing pets.
Torrent's vision suddenly emptied, and he could no longer see the annoying grass branches. He almost fell to the ground.
He threw a piece of cooked fish to the Tundra Snow Bear and was about to take it back to slowly recover its loyalty, when Torrent heard the sound of the wind behind his head. An Ice Blade cut through the raindrops, making a slight sound as it went straight for the back of his head.
A Thief!
Lu Li!
This kind of attack could only be done by a despicable Thief. The active Thieves in this map were naturally Ruling Sword's Thieves.
"Dammit!" Although Torrent was a little tired, his reaction wasn't fast. His body slightly leaned to the side and he stretched out his leg to use a Trip skill. His judgment of Lu Li's position was very accurate, and it was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort in this area.
This skill was a speed reduction skill, which was the main way for Hunters to deal with Thieves and Warriors.
Lu Li's dagger gently slid across Torrent's neck. This Cheap Shot failed, and he had to admit that he had underestimated his opponent. He thought that this kind of surprise attack would be foolproof.
Rainforest, these annoying raindrops!
Torrent's Trip reduced Lu Li's speed, but he didn't think that this would be enough to pull away from Lu Li. He quickly commanded the Tundra Snow Bear to stall his opponent.
If he used Charge from the Tundra Snow Bear's angle, the angle was very perfect, and the distance was not a problem at all. If the Charge was successful, he would immediately be stunned for a second, which was enough for Torrent to pull away and perhaps set up a Frost Trap.
After pulling away, a Hunter with Flare was not afraid of a Thief.
The Tundra Snow Bear was originally sitting on the ground happily eating its favorite fish, but after receiving the order, it stood up helplessly. If it was a level 5 pet, it would have rushed to the rescue the moment its owner was attacked.
