Chapter 473: Chapter 284 Cat and Mouse Game (The number of the previous Chapter was labeled incorrectly)_3

Mu You successfully counter-attacked while, coincidentally, obtaining another pair of Agile Boots. This time, Mu You wasn’t in a rush to turn back time.

Indeed, the Hunger Gem was the most valuable, but it didn’t provide any attributes. He would have to continue to battle his opponent, and lowering the opponent’s Combat Power was his top priority.

The boots were a great find. They were only Excellent Grade equipment, but they provided five points of agility and a 10% increase in movement speed.

In combination with the Thief’s Mask he had just obtained, the opponent’s agility was reduced by 25 points and additionally slowed down by a tenth.

And the attributes of these boots could be counted on Mu You’s own side. Whether he would chase his opponent or flee, he felt more confident because of these items.

[Phantom Thief Vanloon has resurrected at the distant crossroads and doesn’t charge towards you. He casts a wary look at you.]

[You decide to chase after Phantom Thief Vanloon who immediately begins to flee without hesitation.]

[While chasing, the Dark World time ends and the surrounding area returns to normal. The cold wind still howls, but the deadly cold has significantly reduced.]

[The instant the dark night ends, Phantom Thief Vanloon abruptly stops, turns around and charges at you!]

"Smart thinking!"

Mu You shakes his head. It seems that his opponent has guessed the rules of Dark World magic; the cooldown period must be long. If the night ends, his Combat Power will be greatly weakened.

That’s why he didn’t plan to run too far at the beginning. He just wanted to keep Mu You on his tail until the dark night ended, and then immediately attack back.

[You chose to run away!]

This is a game of cat and mouse, both players taking turns at being the cat. Now it was Mu You’s turn to run, but he estimated that he wouldn’t need to run for long. The situation would quickly reverse.

[You run in the Fourth Level corridor. Your opponent is moving slightly faster than you, and the distance between you is gradually closing.]

[However, under the effects of the extreme cold at night, your opponent’s HP is dropping faster than yours.]

[Vanloon suddenly stops chasing and chooses to retreat!]

As expected, once night falls, Mu You dominates. The two were playing a cat and mouse game. Under circumstances where he couldn’t catch up in a short period of time, the damage from the environment became a major factor. In the end, it was Vanloon who couldn’t bear it and chose to retreat again.

Mu You instantly turned to chase him.

[You cast ’Soul Fire’ on Phantom Thief.]

[Phantom Thief has used ’Dispel Magic,’ but it fails.]

[Phantom Thief is forced into your field of vision but can’t do anything about it. His HP is still gradually decreasing. He has no choice but to escape faster, and the distance between you two is gradually expanding.]

[Through Phantom Thief’s vision, you see that he suddenly changes his original path. Do you continue to pursue him?]

"Huh?"

The new message made Mu You raise an eyebrow. He had just cast Soul Fire on the opponent, and the Thief suddenly changed direction. Could there be something he didn’t want Mu You to discover ahead?

[You gave up the chase and continued to move in the original direction. You quickly arrived beneath a rock wall at the edge of the Fourth Level.]

[Under the illumination of the Pumpkin Lantern, you spot some traces of climbing on the wall.]

[You conducted a search around the area and discovered a secret entrance on the hanging wall. The entrance appears quite new as if it was recently uncovered.]

He came to chase him and discovered an entrance. It seemed to be the passage that the opponent uses to move to the Fourth Level. But from the description, it seemed newly excavated?

No matter, if the opponent purposely diverted him away from here, it implied that this passage was special and possibly hiding some secrets!

Mu You didn’t rush in. If this place was really important, the opponent would surely come back eventually. He simply decided to lay an ambush near the entrance.

[Through Soul Fire’s vision, Phantom Thief notices that no one is chasing him and appears to realize something. He is rushing towards your direction.]

[Phantom Thief comes to the stone wall and tries to climb into the entrance to escape.]

[You used Strong Wind Blowing and Phantom Thief, caught off-guard, gets blown down.]

[You summon five Tree-men, War Tree, Spike Serpent Guard, Fire Giant, Shadow War Eagle, and Netherworld Demon Child...]

[You summon Troll War God and Legendary Witch Doctor.]

[With the cooperation of numerous summoned creatures, Phantom Thief Vanloon is killed by you guys. You gain +19 experience points, +1 lifespan, and Thief’s Skin Fragment*1. In the place where he died, you find ’Wind Trampler Greaves.’]

The opponent clearly underestimated Mu You’s Combat Power. Without the Octopus Soldier’s interference, Mu You could now give his all. His strength was not due to his vampire skin but his summoned army!

[Phantom Thief resurrects in the distance and once again chooses to escape.]

Mu You did not rush to give chase and commanded the group of summoned beasts to stand their ground. He used Soul Fire vision to keep tabs on his opponent’s position.

The night is getting darker and the temperature is becoming more extreme. The opponent wasn’t going to get much farther away. Unless he had another exit, he could only stay on the Fourth Level, continually being frozen to death.

In such a situation, there was only one way to survive, and that was to hide in a cell!

[The bone-piercing cold left Phantom Thief Vanloon on the verge of death. Unable to withstand the cold, he was forced to enter cell number 4771.]

As expected, the opponent entered the cell to warm himself up!

Things should be easier moving forward.

Mu You didn’t rush to make the first move. He still had plenty of time, and it would be more favorable to him as the night got deeper. Just by guarding this hole, the opponent would have no way to escape.

The summoned beasts around him disappeared one by one due to the freezing cold. Only Mu You remained, continuing his vigilance with his remaining HP.

Not until the game time approached midnight did Mu You control his character to rise and move towards Cell 4771.

After playing a game of hide-and-seek with his opponent all night, it was finally time to reap the rewards!

"Do you need help?" Lin Xue hadn’t rushed off this evening because she knew Mu You was still engaged in a big battle.

Having lost something so important, Phantom Thief surely wouldn’t let him off easily. With both of them trapped in the special environment of the prison, they were in a life and death situation.

"Some remote support will be helpful...um, I’ll call more people to be safe!"

Mu You did not refuse Lin Xue’s kindness.

Phantom Thief wasn’t weak, and inside the cell, he could avoid the HP drain from the cold. The home field advantage had been weakened significantly, so he needed to prepare more.

He quickly logged onto the forum, using the Ghost Captain account to call a few Sorcerer colleagues.

"Is anybody online? We’re grouping up to fight!"
