Chapter 819: Chapter 407 Demon King is Roaring_3

[You stowed away the Chocobo, switched to the Mysterious Human Skin, and activated the Hermit Card. After taking all the stealth precautions, you then quietly stepped onto the soft, decayed surface of the Huangwu.]

[Regrettably, your high level and the vitality of a living being made you in the perception of the surrounding Undead as dazzling as a firefly wandering through the dark night.]

[Soon, a nearby Undead discovered you.]

[A Skeleton Soldier wielding a knife and shield, clattering with the sound of colliding bone fragments, lunged at you.]

[You choose...]

It was tough to stay hidden; Mu You didn’t harbor illusions of sneaking all the way in. If he couldn’t stay hidden, he might as well fight his way through.

[You chose to engage in battle!]

[You kicked the Skeleton Soldier onto the ground and swiftly chanted some magic, the tip of the Magic Wand shining brightly. You released Holy Light, and under its glow, the Skeleton Soldier howled as it shattered and disintegrated, quickly turning to dust.]

[You have slain a level 15 Skeleton Soldier, +15 experience points. You have received ’Skeleton Bone Powder’ *1.]

Slain Undead creatures don’t give life; the materials they provide are completely useless, which is disappointing. This is why players are generally not interested in Undead creatures.

Mu You shook his head and continued to explore.

[You have slain a level 16 Skeleton Soldier...]

[You have slain a level 13 Skeleton Archer...]

[You have slain a level 17 Hunchback Ghoul...]

...

In a place teeming with Undead, Holy Light was extremely effective because light-based magic could deal additional damage to most Undead creatures. His level five Holy Light could easily cause over a thousand points of damage. As long as he wasn’t surrounded by multiple Undead, he could effortlessly cope.

Following the map, Mu You delved deeper into White Maple City. He encountered various Undead creatures along the way, all of which he eliminated. He thought he could reach his destination smoothly when suddenly, a surprising message popped up in the game.

[You see a figure dressed as an assassin passing by in front of you. Upon noticing you, they raise their weapon and watch you warily. From the ID above their head, you recognize them as a player.]

[Veda (level 17)...]

Hm?

Mu You was startled. There were actually other players in this forsaken place?

And to top it off, it was a fairly high-level player. Players at this level would certainly have joined Sky City; isn’t mining in Sky City or grinding in the Underground City more profitable than grinding Undead here? Why come to such a place?

Mu You was baffled, but he didn’t have time to ponder it, as the game was still asking whether he wanted to take action.

"No."

A player with an ID like Veda was likely from the Indonesia region, and the Star Spirit Region corresponding to Indonesia was none other than the Tasino Empire, right next to the Sunlight Elves. Mu You was here on a mission and had no intention of provoking local players for the time being.

[You chose to hold your forces. Engaging in a fight here might alert the Undead.]

[Veda also seemed to realize your exceptional strength and didn’t dare to attack you. Instead, they maintained their vigilance, circled around you, and quickly retreated, soon disappearing into the distance.]

Mu You, currently using the Mysterious Human Skin, wasn’t displaying his ID and level, fortunately, the other player still had a good eye and could directly sense the gap in strength from the attire, so they promptly ran away.

Mu You didn’t care and continued with the game.

[You continue forward and find that under the stone wall ahead, a Headless Skeleton Knight riding an Undead Warhorse is patrolling back and forth on the street ahead.]

[Headless Knight (Level 23): Attack Power 125-130, Defensive Power 120, HP 18,500, Abilities: Bone Spear Charge, Bone Spear Stab, Shield Block, Bloody Judgment...]

Just a few steps in and he encountered a high-level monster, a level 23 Headless Knight, which certainly belonged to the elite monsters among the Undead, with high attack and defense and a range of abilities, indeed difficult to deal with.

Moreover, this guy was just in the direction from where that player came from. Mu You guessed that the player must have encountered this elite monster, realized they couldn’t beat it, and had either retreated or gone back for reinforcements.

Regardless of what that player was thinking, since they were gone, this monster was his, and such a high-level elite monster was sure to drop some good loot.

Mu You immediately switched to the Vampire Skin and prepared to move forward into battle.

However, just at that moment, the game popped up another text prompt.

[You faintly hear a rustling sound coming from behind, like the sound of a night breeze blowing through the grass.]

[But your intuition alerts you to the danger. You nonchalantly glance behind with the corner of your eye.]

[Under the Night Vision, you clearly see, from the dry grass ten-odd meters behind you, the player ’Veda’, who had left earlier, has returned and is stealthily crouching in the bushes, spying in your direction...]

"Oh?"

Mu You frowned. What’s this, a jackal lurking behind?

Is he planning to wait until he’s engaged with the Headless Knight and then leap out for a sneak attack, killing two birds with one stone?

Mu You saw through the other’s scheme at a glance, but didn’t particularly mind.

If it had been an ordinary player, suddenly caught in a pincer attack like this, they would indeed be in a tight spot. But unfortunately, the other player had underestimated his Combat Power. Dealing with these two was not a problem even if he had to face them alone, especially since he had seen through the other’s plan ahead of time.

[You ignore the hidden enemy behind you and charge directly towards the Headless Knight up ahead, firing off several arrows from afar.]

[Your arrows didn’t cause any substantial damage to the Headless Knight, but they were more than enough to enrage him.]

[The Headless Knight spots you, and the War Horse beneath him lets out an angry neigh. The Headless Knight holds up his bone spear and launches ’Death Charge’, turning himself and the horse into a bolt of lightning rushing towards you.]

[You’re still foolishly shooting arrows in place. The next moment, you’re struck by the bone spear and sent flying far away, drawing a parabola in the air, conveniently landing right near the bushes where Veda was hiding!]

[In the distance, the Headless Knight turns his horse around and charges towards you again.]

[You hear a curse from behind: "Damn it, where the hell did this noob come from!"]

[The next second, the assassin’s figure flashes out of the bushes and sprints towards the distance, trying to escape the Headless Knight’s attack range.]

[You activate ’Godspeed’, moving even faster and instantly reaching the front of the assassin.]

[The Headless Knight’s War Horse is still charging at you, but it’s stopped by the assassin blocking its path. The bone spear pierces through Veda’s body, and the Headless Knight, as if making an example, hoists Veda high above his head...]
