Michael just shook his head and said, "No need, they can take care of all of them. After all, they are not your average players. In fact, I"m surprised that they managed to make their way here this fast"
Miya shrugged her shoulders and sat down on the ground and started taking some rest from their long but a short journey.
On the other hand.
"How come this group of Orcs is so weak?"
Viper shot an arrow towards the head of a Grey Orc who was charging towards him and quickly killing it after shooting five arrows consecutively.
"You"re right, their levels are high, their strength is powerful but their health is surprisingly mediocre. They are just a tad weaker than those High Orcs in Forest of Despair" Solitary Tempest said she swung her scythe upwards and killed the orc she was facing.
"It seems there are people watching us from a distance. Be careful, and let"s quickly finish off this group of monsters" Storm Moonlight said the moment one of her skills notified her of a group of suspicious people who are observing them from a distance.
"Players?" Moniker"s eyes quickly lit up and when he heard her.
"Could be, or maybe it"s just a group of NPCs living in this place" Storm Moonlight said.
"Maybe people from Snow Village? Michael did say that he"s coming to meet us en route" Black Genesis said, while he suddenly appeared behind a Grey Orc as his pair of short swords in his hands suddenly burst forth with speed and plunged both weapons at both sides of the monster"s neck, finally killing it with that attack.
"Well, it could be them or it could someone else. After all, Michael hasn"t really explored Everwinter that much so we don"t know if there are other NPC villages around here" Ripley said while picking some of the dropped loot on the ground.
"Ignore them, I"m pretty sure we could handle them if they try to do something funny, ain"t that right hypocrite?" Black Genesis laughed as he turned towards Moniker.
"F*ck off a.s.shole" Moniker snorted in annoyance.
Five minutes later, the group successfully wiped out the group of Grey Orcs, but they were unsatisfied because they only received a small portion of experience points from killing them even though the monsters were five levels above or higher than all of them, and there was even thirty of them!
"This is probably the most disappointing monsters we"ve ever encountered," Viper said, as he felt like it was a waste of their time dealing with this group of Grey Orcs.
"I just wasted ten minutes of my life killing this group of monsters," Chakram said with a laughed.
"Come on, let"s go and greet our guest. We don"t want them waiting now" Black Genesis laughed as he quickly took the lead and started walking towards the direction from where Storm Moonlight had told them earlier
On the other hand.
"It seems they are done, let"s go greet them"
Michael smiled as he stood up front the ground, followed by the others as they made their way over towards the group of people who are also making their way towards them.
"We"ll be fine, right?"
Carter didn"t know why, but he suddenly felt very nervous the closer they got towards the incoming group of newcomers.
"Die!"
A shadow suddenly pounced towards Michael, but the latter just cooly raised his sword before him and blocked the incoming attack from his a.s.sailant.
"Is that how you greet someone?" Michael snickered as he slashed his sword upwards and sent Chakram flying.
"Ohh...it"s just Michael" Black Genesis seemed disappointed when he saw that it was just Michael and his group.
"Michael" Solitary Tempest said as she came over beside him and gave Miya a glance before looking away, while Michael gave her a sweet smile, and Miya on the other hand just gave both of them an annoyed look.
"My...so you"re name is also Miya huh?" Storm Moonlight said as she stood before Miya.
"Uhh, it"s just my in-game name. My real name is actually Dana"
Miya looked a bit uncomfortable being stared at that she stuttered in reply and even told Miya her real name.
Storm Moonlight just smiled then he turned towards the people looking at them curiously who are standing behind Michael and Miya.
"Who are they? People from the village?" Storm Moonlight said.
Michael turned towards her after talking to Black Genesis and replied, "Yeah, this man here is Carter, then Gus and Anri. The three of them are one of the village"s hunters"
"Come on, let"s head to the village. We"re not that far from here"
Michael quickly led the way as the newly added people followed behind, while Black Genesis and Black Sparrow struck up a conversation with the three NPCs.
"Right, I forgot to tell you guys that those Grey Orcs give poor experience points. So don"t bother hunting them when they are moving in small groups"
"Is that so?" Chakram said.
"So that"s why their health is really on the low side and they are easy to kill," Ripley said.
"They are easy to kill? Since when did Grey Orcs easily killed!?"
The three hunters who heard what Ripley said exclaimed in shock inside their minds!
Michael stopped in his tracks and turned around to face the group of people behind him.
"Right, I almost forgot. We need to hunt some food before we head back to the village"
"Food? Is the village running out of food?" Solitary Tempest said as she quickly opened her storage s.p.a.ce and looked through it.
"No, but I"m planning to expand the village. So, the village needs to store a lot of food for future expansion, and at the same time, we also need a large number of logs to use for building a wall"
Black Genesis, Viper, and the others looked at each other for a bit before opening up their own storage s.p.a.ce.
