Chapter 351: Sanguine Hunter
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
That person"s body was small and skinny, his face was masked and he wore a dark green leather vest. There was a lightweight crossbow in his hand.
He seemed to be a human, but he had long pointed ears and there was a green light in his eyes, he looked more like an elf, but there was something amiss.
HP: 700000
MP: 50000
Skills: [Master of the hunt], [Marauder], [Master of survival], [Master of traps], [Soul of the forest]
Background information: The dark elves were originally part of the elven tribe. Because of their misuse of magic, which opened the dimensional gates, darkness descended and from then on, they were cursed by divine powers. Cursed to survive in the darkness and cursed to be devoid of all magic.
So it was an obsidian elf, no wonder it looked particularly ugly. The Elves that w.a.n.g Yu had seen before were all fair-skinned and beautiful. This one had dark skin and did not seem like a good person.
The Sanguine Hunter"s eyes turned to w.a.n.g Yu and after affirming that he was indeed rooted by the trap, he raised the lightweight crossbow in his hand and fired a shot.
The Sanguine Hunter"s trap root duration was 30 seconds, but he did not hesitate as he knew that he could not let his guard down. w.a.n.g Yu quickly changed his weapon to the Universe Sword short edge as he danced around the arrows and dodged all of them.
"??".
Seeing that w.a.n.g Yu had dodged all of his attacks, the Sanguine Hunter was a little surprised as he reached out his right hand and used his left hand to ready another attack, shooting out three green arrows towards w.a.n.g Yu.
[Volley] - the level 30 Sniper"s main skill… the only difference between this and the level 20 skill of the Sniper was that there were more arrows. Every arrow of the skill dealt 280% physical damage and had the sudden strike effect.
This move that the Sanguine Hunter had just used was definitely precise.
Even though w.a.n.g Yu didn"t recognise this skill, he could feel that it was extremely powerful and that he couldn"t face it head on. So, he crouched down and dodged the first arrow, parrying the second and third ones with his blades.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Yu suddenly realised that the Sanguine Hunter had disappeared. A murderous energy drifted over.
w.a.n.g Yu raised his head and saw that the Sanguine Hunter had took the opportunity to dash melee range. In his hand was a dagger that was headed straight for w.a.n.g Yu"s throat.
"F*ck! A sneak attack?!".
w.a.n.g Yu gasped and hurriedly lay flat on the ground as he used his universe sword to stab the Sanguine Hunter"s wrist and disrupt his attack.

The damage inflicted appeared above the Sanguine Hunter"s head. He was well versed in the art of hiding in the shadows, after that one hit, he immediately turned to flee.
w.a.n.g Yu wasn"t going to let him go that easily. He waved his right hand and threw the universe sword out, shouting, "Get him!".
The universe sword did not miss, it stabbed the calf of the Sanguine Hunter.
The universe sword in its short edge mode was a doublehand weapon, as long as the sheath and the blade were on the same individual, the system would have registered the universe sword to be equipped.
The system recognised this as "a.s.sa.s.sinate".

w.a.n.g Yu did not randomly throw his sword, he was aiming for the back of the Sanguine Hunter"s calf, which was commonly known as the "Ca Zhong Pressure Point". If a normal human was struck at this point, he would need to recover for the next 12 hours.
But this was a game, the Sanguine Hunter merely flinched after being hit by the sword, losing its balance as it crashed down from the branch it was hiding on.
"Swis.h.!.+".
Just as w.a.n.g Yu thought he had made some progress, the Sanguine Hunter extended both his arms as two metal chains flew out and hooked onto the branch above.
"You"re still resisting?" w.a.n.g Yu said in response to the Sanguine Hunter"s persistence as he dished out the Fire Dragon"s Pistol and fired a salvo of knock back bullets, sending the Sanguine Hunter flying.
"Capture him, don"t let him escape!" w.a.n.g Yu shouted.
The Sanguine Hunter could use a mere tree as a formidable hiding area, the area below was a forest…
When w.a.n.g Yu scaled the tree, Frost Blade and the other two a.s.sa.s.sins had already taken positions below. Seeing that the Sanguine Hunter was in freefall, the trio immediately went to his predicted landing location to prevent any escape.
The Sanguine Hunter was both an a.s.sa.s.sin and a survivor, he was the cla.s.sic agile boss. He had a high rate of recovery, the 30 metre fall gave him enough time.
After landing on the ground, seeing that the three a.s.sa.s.sins had surrounded him, he waved his right hand as a circle of flying daggers appeared all around him and flew towards the trio.
"It"s the dispersed shot attack… retreat!".
Frost Blade and the other two were no fools, they immediately recognised the Sanguine Hunter"s Skill.
[Dispersed Shot Attack]: LV45 Survivor Skill, use flying daggers or a crossbow to strike all targets within a 500 radius range.
This skill was one of the most publicised skills during the beta launch, most veterans would have been familiar with it. The only way to dodge it was to retreat.
After forcing the trio back, the Sanguine Hunter turned and fled into the forest.
"Don"t let him run! Come and help!" Frost Blade shouted as Darknorth Fisher and Little Five gave chase.
The others formed a Fantasy Array and gave chase as well.
"Biu!".
As the fastest one, Yang Nuo fired arrows and ran at the same time, landing an arrow on the back of the Sanguine Hunter"s head.

After being struck, the Sanguine Hunter paused before turning around and firing an arrow towards his pursuers.
Frost Blade and the other two weren"t far away from him. Before they could react to the Sanguine Hunter"s sudden halt, they saw a silver tint flying towards them.
They had no time to react as the arrow pierced through all three of them like a kebab.
[Piercing Arrow]: LV25 Sniper Skill, deal penetrative damage to the first three targets on the course of attack. 14% chance of sudden attack.

Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher were well prepared, even though they were at the forefront and suffered the most damage, they did not die. Little Five on the other hand, dissipated into a white bloom.
