Chapter 143: Dark Scorpion King
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
After passing through the Atonent Mountains, they arrived at an abandoned city.
This area was known as Desolate City and as its na suggested, it was completely abandoned. The area around it was an endless desert that spanned as far as the eye could see. This city was one of the locations where the dark forces had garrisoned but it was necessary to bypass it to reach the frontlines.
After entering the city itself, the players still didn’t let their guards down. They were all constantly on the lookout for any more Dark Assassins.
Although it was just dying, the main reason everyone was so resistant was that they would have to restart the entire quest from scratch! To even accept the job advancent quest, they had to first spend money. All the players suspected that this was a ploy by the ga designers.
Out of the whole group of players, the only one who looked relaxed was Wang Yu. Standing behind Dawn’s First Ray, he looked as though he didn’t have a care in the world.
"Brother Bull aren’t you afraid?" Dawn’s First Ray couldn’t help but ask after he saw Wang Yu’s expression.
"Afraid? Of what? I’m not even supposed to be protecting your item anyway!" Wang Yu lightly replied.
"But won’t you fail your quest if we fail ours?"
"Nope! The mont I see that you guys aren’t able to keep it safe then I’ll just take it and run!" Wang Yu laughed.
"Urgh... Please don’t do that..." Dawn’s first ray hurriedly begged.
"I’m just joking with you!" Wang Yu chuckled.
"Really?"
"Of course! I swear on the na of the Quan Zhen Sect!" Wang Yu declared.
"But... That doesn’t an anything..." Hearing Wang Yu’s response really made him want to throw up a mouthful of blood.
While he chatted with Wang Yu, Dawn’s First Ray’s finally began to relax slightly.
When they were passing through the centre of the desert, Wang Yu suddenly blocked Dawn’s First Ray and shouted: "Careful! There’s an ambush here!"
"But... There’s no one around!" Dawn’s First Ray replied after thoroughly scanning the surroundings.
In the centre of the sand dunes was just an empty patch of desert. There wasn’t any tall cliffs or large rocks that enemies could use to conceal themselves. If there really were enemies here then they would have long been exposed already!
Still, Dawn’s First Ray turned around and asked a nearby Archer: "Do you see anything suspicious?"
"What’s there to look for? It’s a barren desert!" The Archer scoffed.
"En... That’s true... Brother Bull, I think you’re just overthinking things!" Dawn’s First Ray nodded.
"No! I can feel sothing staring at us!" Wang Yu insisted.
"You can feel it? Feel what?" Dawn’s First Ray gulped.
"Killing intent!" Wang Yu seriously replied.
"Pfft!" Hearing this, all the players standing around Wang Yu imdiately burst into laughter.
Killing intent? What was this, a light novel? Who still believed in that kind of nonsense??
"Be careful!" Wang Yu’s face suddenly tightened as he hurriedly grabbed Dawn’s First Ray arm.
"Brother Bull please, no..." Thinking that Wang Yu was going to kill him out of rage and embarrassnt, Dawn’s First Ray began to beg for his life.
However how could a piece of trash like him compare to Wang Yu? With one swift motion, Wang Yu grabbed Dawn’s First Ray’s shoulder and tossed him behind.
Just as Dawn’s FIrst ray was about to apologise to Wang Yu, he suddenly noticed that there was a small hole where he had previously been standing. Following that, a skinny figure draped in a yellow cloak erged from the hole and slashed towards him with its saber.
"Ah!" In his fear, Dawn’s First Ray completely forgot what position he was in and bent down while clutching his head and screaming. Wang Yu instantly reacted and raised his left hand up and redirected the monster’s strike while at the sa ti placing his right hand on its chest and firing off a [Rippling Wave]. After being blown away, the monster landed on the ground and instantly vanished.
Seeing this, the players who had been laughing at Wang Yu a few seconds ago were at a loss for words. To them, Wang Yu wasn’t any different from a monster either...
Was killing intent really a thing?
Walking over to Dawn’s First Ray, Wang Yu casually picked him up and shouted to the others: "Quickly lean against soone else’s back! Don’t make any sudden movents!"
Just as the players ford up, the previously still desert began to shift. One by one, counteless figures wearing yellow cloaks began to erge from the sand, completely surround all the players.
