Chapter 228: Bowl of Instant Noodles
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hoo, hoo!”
Bowl of Instant Noodles was a Level 48 Light Armor Warrior. He cast the Charge skill and charged forward through the dark forest as his body was covered with mud and all kinds of gra.s.s, leaves and tree branches.
Once the distance of the Charge skill that had already reached the Expert Level was attained, he lay his back on a large, wet and slippery rock while his hands supported him by grabbing onto the branch of a nearby tree. He was panting heavily.
“Sh*t, these rebel army beast warriors who possess night vision abilities are too disgusting. And they’re actually Elite models! The worst thing about it is just how many the rebel army reconnoiter has killed now? He must have at least five to six pieces of equipment.”
After resting for a few seconds and slightly recovering his endurance value that had dropped to less than 30%, Bowl of Instant Noodles said unhappily, “How can I, who has only unlocked a Level 40 backup longsword, fight him?”
Compared to other professions, warriors had a huge advantage when it came to endurance consumption and recovery. However, this was when the warrior wore armor. It was because the armor of a warrior wasn’t just any normal metal armor: it was more like the exoskeleton of an individual soldier, a combined armor that had an intelligent tactical chip inside it. It could support the warrior in combat while coordinating with the biochip and reduce strength consumption during operations or battles. The endurance recovery rate of a Light Armor Warrior without armor was not necessarily much faster than other professions.
The rebel army reconnoiter who was chasing Bowl of Instant Noodles did not have any combat boots so was not particularly fast. His advantage was the eyes that allowed him to see in the dark, which he had obtained after he synthesized with the beast. They made it possible for him to lock on to his target and continue its pursuit.
Although he had succeeded in shaking off the reconnoiter twice by using the Charge skill, in less than half a minute, the enemy would have already caught up.
As a player who had completed several missions related to the rebel army, he was very aware of the frightening combat strength of the Elite rebel army reconnoiter in this dark environment.
As such, even if he was a Light Armor Warrior which was, theoretically, the best melee fighter, in this instance, he could only choose to escape!
“D*mn it!
“This is too motherf*cking wrong!”
“Just you wait, it’s going to be dawn soon!”
“When daybreaks, I’ll find a chance to slash you to pieces!”
By the time his endurance had recovered to over 40%, Bowl of Instant Noodles, who even kept his alloy longsword in his backpack, had started his journey of running for his life.
As he ran, he looked into the sky with determination. Through the gaps between the trees in the forest, he could red light appearing in the sky covered by dark clouds. On an island like this, once the sun appeared, it wouldn’t take long before the place became bright!
Finally, I’m almost out of this night filled with death!
Less than a dozen seconds after Bowl of Instant Noodles left, a dark shadow holding a military knife coated with a gray layer of something walked toward another place in the vicinity without making a sound. After walking a few steps, the shadow stopped moving.
His gaze rested on the rock with scratched off moss that Bowl of Instant Noodles had leaned against earlier, and the ground with the trace of a human. After scanning it, his eyes s.h.i.+fted, and he looked towards the direction Bowl of Instant Noodles had escaped in. In his eyes, there was a look of a hunter looking at its prey. Just then, the human figure’s ears moved again.
He turned around. His eyes did not glow green yet seemed like they had a glint of sharp light in them, and they looked in the direction opposite to that in which Bowl of Instant Noodle had escaped.
After more than a minute, Bowl of Instant Noodles charged out of the damp, vegetation-filled forest. He noticed that he had reached a beach. Clearly, he had reached the edge of the island. Bowl of Instant Noodles now had nowhere else to run, and he started to curse while trying to catch his breath. “F*ck, I’m seriously unlucky!”
However, the light in the sky had pierced through the clouds that had shrouded the island for the entire night. The environment started to brighten up.
“Forget it! No need to run anymore. If that guy really catches up, I’ll fight him to the death. What is this situation where I, a warrior, is continuously running away from an NPC?” Bowl of Instant Noodles said hatefully. He leaned his body against a tree to recover his endurance.
He did not unlock his most important gear anyway. Even if he lost in the end and died, his losses wouldn’t be that bad.
As he thought about that, Bowl of Instant Noodles began to observe his surroundings.
The light that brightened the place made his vision a lot clearer. Then, he immediately noticed that there was a series of footprints on the beach that extended to a faraway place.
There’s someone here. And he’s only just pa.s.sed! Bowl of Instant Noodles’ chest tightened as he quickly raised his head to look around.
It didn’t take long before Bowl of Instant Noodles noticed that there was a piece of parachute equipment that everyone used when jumping off the plane sitting in the middle of the beach. Hmm? There’s a parachute getup over there!
Someone landed here. He became cautious, but Bowl of Instant Noodles wasn’t overly worried.
Theoretically speaking, no one would stay in the same place they landed. This sort of landing equipment was too eye-catching, and leaving it in place made it easy for the enemy to discover it.
Very quickly, his gaze rested on the side of a large reef not far away from the landing equipment.
Hmm? There’s a corpse over there?
It was a very hairy humanoid corpse lying on the ground face up.
“That’s a rebel army beast warrior?” he said in surprise.
After recognizing the ident.i.ty of the corpse, Bowl of Instant Noodles grabbed the alloy longsword from his backpack as he walked cautiously over with curiosity.
Hmm? It’s actually a Level 45 Elite Heavy Armor Warrior! It was killed by a lone enemy. The damage all came from a Level 33 Rare Grade Military Knife. The first hit went for the throat, and with just two slashes, the Heavy Armor Warrior was killed!
F*ck! The last hit was over 3,000! In this ‘Naked’ status, this damage is way too overpowering. Moreover, there aren’t any traces of battle on the beach. This rebel army beast warrior didn’t even have time to react, and the battle was already over. The time of death was three hours and 52 minutes ago.
Observing the corpse, Bowl of Instant Noodles looked shocked. Due to his profession, he was very good at identifying the injuries on a corpse, and the information he obtained from the corpse was due to his unique talent in the game. Due to that, after getting all the information, he was incredibly shocked. Just over three hours and 50 minutes ago. Which meant that this battle occurred right after they landed on the island.
Theoretically speaking, at that time, everyone only had their initial equipment. Which was probably when they were still “Naked.”
To actually deal over 3,000 damage with just a Level 33 Rare Grade military knife in a “Naked” status was impressive. Moreover, it was on an Elite Grade rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior. This person’s ability to deal single instant damage was incredibly frightening!
Bowl of Instant Noodles looked at the footprints beside the corpse that extended towards the forest that he had just come from.
s.h.i.+t! I can’t stay here any longer. The thought flashed across Bowl of Instant Noodles’s mind as his face distorted.
However, at that moment, in his vision, a notification appeared.
