Chapter 57 Female Thief
Chapter 57 Female Thief
When we were still stuck on the island, the man surnamed Wei said that we couldn't take a plane.
It is said that once a person leaves the ground at a certain height, they will start to lose health continuously.
Li Shu analyzed at the time that the game settings might include skills like flying, which prevented the use of technology to fight monsters from a high vantage point.
I tried it later.
For example, ranged classes like mages and hunters cannot stand on high ground to whittle down the health of melee-attack monsters.
All attacks miss; this is a feature that limits your ability to exploit bugs.
But these people in front of us have clearly found a way to deal damage while fighting monsters from a high vantage point.
It was clearly visible through the binoculars: a person was hanging two meters off the ground, head down, swinging back and forth with the help of someone nearby.
He placed the sword beneath him and swung it repeatedly across the wild boar.
This wild boar can charge and even hop, but now it's acting like a fool, chasing people back and forth without jumping, and enduring repeated attacks.
Liu Yifei saw through the trick and exclaimed in surprise, "They're basically fighting monsters without taking any damage!"
Li Shu nodded.
The secret passage truly lives up to its reputation as the Fourth Calamity; it's either exploiting bugs or on its way to finding them.
Unfortunately, these people must have been poorly equipped; it seemed like they had to slash at the boar dozens of times before finally killing it.
However, wild boars give ten times the experience of slimes and can drop higher-level equipment, so if you can fight them, it's obviously more worthwhile.
"Fancy and gaudy."
Li Shu commented.
Liu Yifei scoffed, "You think everyone's like you, randomly dropping equipment?"
Just then, someone came running from a distance.
This group saw eleven things, three cranes, three people were the main attackers, and the others were the assistants.
It seems they concentrated their equipment on these three people, which is why they were able to barely break through their defenses.
Now another person comes along and waves from a distance.
A wild boar came charging towards him from behind.
Elite monster!
The group remained calm. The remaining two continued fighting the monster. One of them used a powerful attack to draw the aggro of the raging boar.
Same situation.
Poor Pig Brother, who dealt a whopping 240 damage, was completely outmaneuvered and played like a fool.
However, Pig Brother has high defense, exceeding 100, so this person's attacks cannot break through his defense.
1130 HP, it'll take forever to deplete.
But this guy can exploit a bug to fight monsters without taking damage, which does give him the opportunity to slowly whittle them down.
Soon, the remaining two men wore down the wild boar in front of them and even came over to help.
The crane adjusted its position, and the three people, entangled together by wires, spun around and swung their swords like they were juggling.
It goes to the limit, then reverses.
This is comparable to a sword formation. Each person has a little bit of health, so one hit will deal three points of health, which is over a thousand points. It might only take ten minutes to whittle them down.
The key is that these three people remained very stable for a long time, without making any mistakes.
Li Shu watched with interest: "These people must be doing acrobatics."
"What kind of acrobatics?" Guan Meilin asked, sticking her head out of the car.
Li Shu invited her to come up and take a look.
Even though I rely solely on my attributes to fight monsters, I can observe and learn from how these people actually fight monsters.
Just as Li Shu had expected, Pig Brother's health bar was slowly whittled down.
However, just as the area was about to be cleared out, a figure suddenly appeared next to Pig Brother.
"Holy crap!"
Li Shu exclaimed in surprise; there was actually a twist.
This is clearly a thief, who has been using stealth and hiding nearby.
She knew perfectly well that her attacks wouldn't break through the boar's defenses, so she could only wait until the boar had a sliver of health left before attacking.
That prediction was absolutely brilliant.
Li Shu felt that he definitely couldn't do it if he were in that situation.
Pig Brother's health bar is empty, and he falls down.
The moment he successfully stole the monster, he quickly ducked down to avoid the three-person sword formation above him, and even casually touched the pig to complete the corpse dismantling.
Then, with a nimble roll, he got up and ran.
The entire action was performed in one smooth motion, clearly indicating that it had been planned in advance.
"I told you, thieves are the worst," Li Shu remarked, his binoculars following the girl.
The thief who made the move was a woman.
He was dressed in a black tracksuit, like a CS terrorist, with a black mask that only revealed his eyes.
Her agility must have increased considerably; she moved very fast, catching everyone off guard, and headed straight for the mountaintop.
The monsters on the mountain are high-level, so they probably want to use the monsters to shake off these people.
"That's amazing!"
Yang Mi, sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car to the left, exclaimed in surprise.
It was as if the girl had eyes in the back of her head; she hopped around in quick succession, moving with a serpentine gait, and precisely dodged the two fireballs.
"Yang Mi, you should learn from her. Look at how well she does as a thief." Li Shu was completely energized, his binoculars fixed on the woman.
Stealth has a 10-second cooldown.
If these guys can't catch up with or attack the girl within 10 seconds and pull her into combat, then she'll escape.
Yang Mi curled his lip, thinking to himself that he was well-equipped and had never even known what stealth was.
Through the binoculars, Li Shu stared intently at the female thief.
She has a rather impressive figure.
It makes a bouncy sound when it runs.
He silently counted in his mind; five seconds had passed. She was agile and tall, and he felt she could escape.
But at that moment, something flashed and disappeared into the woman's back at an extremely fast speed.
Li Shucai saw clearly that it looked like a throwing knife.
That's for sure, these guys are really good at acrobatics.
The throwing knife wasn't an equipment item, so it didn't deal much damage, but it was enough to pull the woman into combat.
In this situation, stealth is impossible; the only option is to run. Only after running out of the attacker's range can stealth be attempted again.
But the one who threw the knife also seemed to be a thief, rushing ahead at the front. He was a bit slower, but not by much. It would probably be difficult for the female thief to shake him off in a short time.
These people were furious.
The monster that I finally managed to kill after going through so much trouble was an elite monster.
If I were to get a gold item, wouldn't I be spitting blood?
Ignoring the possibility of encountering monsters, they chased after them, cursing loudly.
"She's coming over." Liu Yifei hurriedly nudged Li Shu.
The woods are harder to walk through, or rather, the barren mountains are almost impossible to traverse; it's far less convenient to run on the roads.
Moreover, monsters roam the roads, and you can see them from a distance, allowing you to avoid them in advance. If you're running in the mountains and forests and one of them suddenly attacks you, you're doomed.
So the female thief quickly ran onto the highway and headed towards Li Shu.
"Li Shu, what should we do?" Yang Mi asked anxiously.
Reyiba craned her neck and asked if she should hide.
That's what I meant.
"Comrade Xiaoba, with our equipment, others should be avoiding us. Why are we hiding?"
Li Shu even stood up and waved to the female thief in the distance.
He gestured for her to come over.
This female thief is quite interesting; she's bold and meticulous, a real expert.
Given the current situation on land, the government should prioritize self-preservation, which will inevitably lead to chaos among the people.
Li Shu had long been considering whether to start a guild or something similar.
If this game has guilds.
With more people and greater power, one can naturally live a more comfortable and safer life.
And how can a guild be without experts?
Anyway, Li Shu really admired this female thief; she was incredibly bold to snatch food from the jaws of death.
The female thief must have already seen Li Shu, her speed slowed slightly, and another throwing knife pierced her body.
In an instant, she had already assessed the situation.
Running back would mean certain death.
They ventured into the nearby forest, facing a near-death experience.
Running towards Li Shu also carries the risk of death, but it doesn't seem that high.
As she got closer, her eyes widened in surprise.
I could see the people standing on the roof of the car.
The man waving at her was a stranger, but the woman next to him was someone she recognized.
Liu Yifei, Yang Mi.
And beside the car, Reyiba?
Is that Gao Yuanyuan peeking out from inside the car?
Taking a deep breath, the female thief rushed over.
Upon getting closer, I was startled again.
"Wang Xinling, Guan Meilin! Holy crap, what are you two doing here?"
The voice was slightly gruff and filled with shock.
Li Shu jumped out of the car and beckoned the women to get in.
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car." Seeing that the female thief was still standing there dumbfounded.
The female thief said "oh" and quickly got into the car, her eyes widening as she looked at Yang Mi beside her.
The group had caught up, and Li Shu stepped forward a few paces, waving his hand: "Brother, this is it, don't go any further."
