Chapter 1383: Chapter 605: Thief God’s Skeleton Key

"1."

"1..."

...

A series of 1s were sent out.

However, relative to the number of people in the entire group chat, only a small portion responded.

"7-star, huh? That’s not something ordinary folks can handle..." Someone commented, which represented the thoughts of the majority in the group.

The ’ordinary folks’ mentioned here aren’t referring to regular players, but to ’ordinary folks’ within this group chat.

Keep in mind that this group chat consists of leaders from the various major factions of Dawn City, representing the most elite players of Dawn City.

Even so, the thought of battling a 7-star creature instantly ruled out more than 70% of them.

After all, during the original expedition against the 6-star Swamp Demoness, only those possessing Divine Skin like the City Lord could participate; the star level difference was too vast, and ordinary players would just be throwing themselves into the fray.

"We don’t need too many people, three to forty will suffice, preferably all skilled experts capable of self-protection." Mu You also understood this reasoning, thus limiting the number of people. It was unnecessary to let ordinary elite players come specifically to die; dying once would mean spending a whole week confined in the city, which greatly disrupts the growth rhythm.

"Our squad should be able to make it, where is it?" a member of the Dragon Group asked.

"Hold on, let me ask." Mu You replied.

"???"

Everyone was perplexed. Ask who?

At this moment, Mu You had returned to the game.

["Where is the place where you want this task done?" You look at the bandit leader and ask.]

["Don’t rush, it’s not in the tribe..." the one-eyed bandit said, shaking his head and looking around, confirming no one was paying attention to you two before he secretly beckoned you to follow him to a corner, left a message saying ’follow me’, and then spread his wings soaring into the sky.]

[Follow?]

"Yes."

Mu You, transformed into a sparrow-like form, had flight capabilities and also would not be affected by the No-fly Zone here.

[You follow suit and start flying up behind the bandit leader...]

[You notice the bandit leader occasionally changing direction while high up in the sky, leading you through the clouds, making turns left and right continuously...]

Clearly, the location the bandit was taking him to was quite secretive; the other party was careful not to let anyone know about it, hence the careful measures to prevent being followed.

As for Mu You... anyway, after the success, he would be killed by them to seal the secret, so no information would leak out.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that Mu You was the Fool, and the Fools had a network of information sharing among each other, which essentially meant he was like bringing along a huge surveillance device with him, and every single move they made now could be transmitted to millions of players through the network at any moment.

The bandit flew him through the clouds for nearly half an hour before finally landing.

[You land in a steep valley located two hundred li north of the Crow Tribe...]

"North, steep valley..."

Mu You immediately began searching on a printed strategy map beside him.

This was a rough map of the areas surrounding Dawn City made by Blue Eyes White Dragon based on player feedback during pioneering, and the map continued to update in real time as pioneering progressed.

Scanning the northern region, Mu You quickly identified a location.

"At One Line Sky," Mu You announced this information in the group chat.

"One Line Sky, huh? I’m not far, can arrive within one hour."

"Heading there now..."

...

The top players who had been prepared in the group chat began to mobilize.

"Both of you come along as well." Mu You looked at the two avatars at home.

"Ling Long, remember to bring Little Snow and Little Ya with you, and Watchman should go near the Crow Tribe and bring the Bone Dragon along."

So far in Dawn City, only Mu You and Lin Xue possess Divine Skin, and for this mission against a 7-star creature, Lin Xue’s involvement was essential, as well as Scorplion and Bone Dragon.

If it were just about wounding or repelling this bandit leader, there wouldn’t need to be such a heavy mobilization—he could handle it with Scorplion Bone Dragon, but their goal was to kill the opponent on the spot within a short time, not allowing him to flee or send messages. This requirement was quite high, so having more people wouldn’t hurt.

"Once you arrive, gather outside the valley, don’t enter the valley yet, wait for my command, this person is very cautious," Mu You advised.

In the game, the bandit did not directly go to the target location after bringing Mu You to this valley, but instead aimlessly wandered around the valley for an entire hour, until completely sure there were no followers before finally stopping, indicating how cautiously this person acted.

But this was also good, as it gave them time to assemble.

At this moment outside the valley, the two avatars, Bone Dragon Scorplion, and more than forty top players had gathered, using the Relic from Lu Yao to conceal their presence. Hence, even though this bandit was extremely cautious, he still couldn’t detect them.

"Everyone has arrived, should we make a move?" Ling Long looked up and asked.

"Not in a hurry, let’s first see what this guy wants to do..." Mu You shook his head, having been led so far by him, it’d be a pity not to clear up the opponent’s intention.

["Follow me!" The one-eyed bandit leader, confirming there was no one around, motioned for you to come along, leading the way forward.]

[You closely follow behind, following the bandit leader all the way to the deep part of the valley, entering a narrow cave.]

[You notice that the entrance of this cave has signs of human excavation.]

[After walking through the dark and twisting cave for a while, the space suddenly opens up ahead.]

[You enter a much larger cave. The cave is empty, except at the end of the cave, where a stone wall is embedded with a terrifying beast face sculpture.]
