Chapter 716: Clover Assassin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A compass was the standard tool to use when one was lost in the woods. Therefore, it proved to be extremely reliable.
Under Peak Of Perfection’s guidance, the group of them was no longer walking in circles. After a short while later, they finally saw some monsters...
These monsters looked unique to their location as they were all flora and fauna. Even though they looked like flowers and grass, they didn’t look easy to deal with at all.
Festering Man-eating Flower (LV 55) (Elite)
HP: 200000
MP: 50000
Skill: [Spitting], [Conceal]
Talent: Poison
Monster Description: Herb Garden’s loyal defender.
The Walking Clover Assassin (LV 55) (Elite)
HP: 200000
MP: 50000
Skill: [Vine Tangling Technique], [Highly Toxic Pollen], [Conceal], [Nurture]
Talent: Highly Poisonous
Monster Description: Unpredictable Killer
[Poison], [Conceal]!
Looking at the descriptions of the monsters, Peak Of Perfection couldn’t help but cry out in shock.
Poisonous monsters had always been disgusting and tough to deal with. Once a person came into contact with the poison, the person’s health, as well as speed, would constantly decrease. The more terrifying aspect was that the decrease in health was based on percentage. No matter how much health an armoured tank had, the decrease in health would be just as fast as a Priest or Pugilist.
[Conceal] was even more impressive. Even though it was similar to invisibility, the essence of the skill was vastly different.
Invisibility was using magic to fuse oneself with the air to achieve the invisible effect. As long as one had an anti-stealth tool, the invisibility effect would be of no use.
However, [Conceal] made use of the terrain to conceal oneself... It was similar to soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms. It would be hard to distinguish them from the surrounding.
Comparing the two methods, invisibility would generally be harder for others to figure out. After all, anti-stealth tools were extremely rare. However, in this very map, [Conceal] was much more effective than invisibility.
This was because these monsters were all plants and they were of the same colour as the terrain. If they simply lay flat on the ground, it would be near impossible to differentiate.
At this moment, the two types of monsters were less than ten metres away from the squad. There were a total of nine monsters: 6 Clover Assassins and 3 Man-eating Flowers. The monsters formed an arc by getting themselves into three groups. The moment the crowd of enemies entered their zone, the monsters from all three sides would attack together. In order to get through this encirclement, they had to kill monsters from the left and right.
“Let’s split up into two teams to...”
“Swoosh!!”
Just when Peak Of Perfection was about to deploy his tactics, he heard the sound of arrows. Three arrows were shot out as they landed on the Man-eating Flowers in front and two Clover Assassins.
“F*ck! Who told you to shoot!” Looking at this scene, Peak Of Perfection flew into a rage as he turned around to reprimand.
Yang Nuo, who had her bow raised, asked, “Why are you making a huge fuss out of this? I’m just killing some monsters.”
When the Quan Zhen Sect fought, they would usually be attacking on their free will unless Fearless warned them not to attack... Yang Nuo’s shots were entirely because of her conditioned reflex. She had completely forgotten that Fearless was no longer the man in charge.
“Idiot! And you still dare to argue! These are level 55 monsters of a hidden dungeon. Do you believe I can...”
Before Peak Of Perfection could finish his sentence, he shut his mouth almost immediately... Because he saw Yang Nuo pointing her arrows at him.
Yang Nuo stared at him coldly, “You better watch what you say! Do you believe I can slaughter you right away?!”
Yang Nuo was not a good-tempered lady and had an eccentric character. After hanging out with the Quan Zhen Sect for such a long time, she didn’t learn much except to kill whoever was not happy with her...
“...”
Employer being threatened by the employee he hired... This was the first time Peak Of Perfection experienced anything like that. Therefore, he couldn’t wrap his head around this.
Initially, Peak Of Perfection wanted to show them who was the Boss. However, when he saw that the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect were prepared to watch a show, he lowered his head helplessly.
In the game, might makes right. Even though Peak Of Perfection was the Boss, he was lacking in terms of fighting capabilities... Hence, he could only swallow his pride even after being threatened by his own employees.
At this moment, the opposing monsters started attacking.
The Man-eating Flowers seemed to be long-ranged monsters. The three Man-eating Flowers opened up their mouths and started spitting faint green mucus towards Yang Nuo.
Yang Nuo grunted as she lifted her foot to kick Peak Of Perfection’s butt. Before he knew it, Peak Of Perfection was kicked forward as the faint green mucus covered Peak Of Perfection from head to toe.
Cold sweat broke out of the other Quan Zhen Sect’s members’ back. This woman really knows how to hold a grudge...
“Quick, save me...”
Peak Of Perfection was really a good-for-nothing. He was clearly poisoned but he acted as though he was blinded. He started shouting and waving his dagger around anxiously.
The only person in the squad who could heal others was Fearless. However, Fearless had never been pleased with Peak Of Perfection so he hadn’t even had time to enjoy making fun of this fool so why would he save him?
Seeing that Peak Of Perfection was about to die, Spring Halo could no longer take it. He threw out a [Purification] technique to relieve the poison for Peak Of Perfection.
“Stop fooling around! Can’t you guys be more serious since we have already accepted his deposit?” Spring Halo commented in the guild chat.
Vainglory replied unhappily, “But he is so arrogant...”
The Quan Zhen Sect had always been blinded by gifts, which was why they never took Peak Of Perfection seriously.
Spring Halo replied, “Don’t forget that there are still more rewards once we complete the quest...”
“Alright, on the account of the potential rewards, we won’t do it again...” Everyone expressed their acknowledgement.
Fearless went on to heal Peak Of Perfection to recover his health back to full bar.
Following that, Peak Of Perfection ran over to Crotch Lord tactfully. Crotch Lord added an ‘entrenched’ state for him to increase his defence.
“Be careful of your feet!”
At this moment, Wang Yu suddenly shouted which gave Peak Of Perfection a bad scare. By the time he could react, vines started flying out from the ground. They flew towards Yang Nuo, Ming Du and the others.
Because of Wang Yu’s warning, everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect was prepared. When they saw the flying vines, Ling Longmeng and Yang Nuo retreated swiftly to avoid the vines.
Darknorth Fisher and Frost Blade raised their daggers to cut through the vines.
Fearless managed to cover himself in invincibility calmly while Ming Du aimed his staff at Peak Of Perfection.
“Swoosh!”
The radiance covered Peak Of Perfection and Peak Of Perfection flew towards Ming Du’s position. The vines descended from above as they wrapped around Peak Of Perfection’s neck.
Shortly after that, three Clover Assassins flew up from the ground as they dragged the vines that were strangling Peak Of Perfection. The three Clover Assassins arrived at the back of Peak Of Perfection in no time as they raised their daggers at the same time.
“Ming Du, what the f*ck!” Spring Halo was startled as he pointed his middle finger at him. Ming Du scratched his head awkwardly, “Aiya, old habit...”
Fortunately, Peak Of Perfection was covered in decent armours so he was still able to survive after being stabbed by the Assassins. However, his condition didn’t look good after being poisoned.
The three Clover Assassins were about to stab him once more but Wang Yu rushed to the scene. He grabbed the three Clover Assassins by the back as he hauled them out of Peak Of Perfection’s body.
“Bang...”
After being grabbed by Wang Yu, the three Clover Assassins released green highly toxic pollen. Wang Yu reacted fast as he kicked the three Clover Assassins away.
The three Clover Assassins landed on the ground, did a flip and disappeared out of sight.
