Chapter 1171: Shroom Devil King’s Mechanical Rats
After Saint Alice died, her head automatically was packed into a box and landed on the ground.
Just then, w.a.n.g Yu also received a system notification: You have killed the Light Faction’s commander, Saint Alice. Light Faction reputation -200, Light Faction merit points -200. You will be chased down by the Light Faction united troops in the G.o.d of Devils Fortress.
Indeed, killing Saint Alice was the correct sequence of this quest.
w.a.n.g Yu was suspicious of Hermit not being able to get her love so he wanted to kill her using someone else’s hands. Based on this, although Hermit was not morally upright, he was more decisive than Simba.
He was so old already and yet he still did such nonsense…
w.a.n.g Yu did not know to laugh or cry as he walked to pick up Saint Alice’s head then threw it into his bag.
At the same time, Shroom Devil King who was hiding throughout saw that w.a.n.g Yu really killed Saint Alice and was stunned. She pointed at w.a.n.g Yu trembling and asked, “You… Why did you kill her?”
w.a.n.g Yu said, “Because only if she died then will we have the evidence to get close to Leon.”
Shroom Devil King was perplexed and yelled, “I’m not asking about this. I meant, she is a level 200 BOSS. Didn’t you consider the consequences?”
“Consequences?” w.a.n.g Yu laughed, “Since she thinks you can kill Leon, he must be barely alive. If she can’t even defeat a half-alive opponent, how impressive could she be?”
“This…”
Hearing w.a.n.g Yu’s explanation, Shroom Devil King was speechless. Although she felt something was not right, she could not rebut him.
Could it… Could it be the top expert’s way of playing the game? He was indeed different.
“Enough!”
As Shroom Devil King was hesitating, w.a.n.g Yu suddenly said again, “We need to run.”
“Run? What do you mean?” Shroom Devil King was still muddleheaded.
When the two of them came to the temple entrance, Shroom Devil King finally realised that w.a.n.g Yu screwed up.
At the temple entrance, it was dark and filled with monsters.
These monsters were in white armour and it obvious that they were the Light faction’s living dead souls, as they surrounded the temple tightly.
Not only so, just by looking, there were countless white armoured dead souls coming towards them.
“Good luck, I’m going to go first!” w.a.n.g Yu shouted then activated his qinggong, leaving Shroom Devil King alone while he ran towards the Darkness temple.
“You b*stard!”
Seeing how w.a.n.g Yu was so disloyal, Shroom Devil King stomped her feet then quickly went into [Stealth].
Of course, based on Shroom Devil King’s level, her [Stealth] was easily felt by the monsters.
However, the monsters’ aggro was on w.a.n.g Yu so they ignored her. After w.a.n.g Yu left, the monsters also chased after him.
Shroom Devil King quietly wiped her cold sweat after she was not gnawed to death by the monsters then shouted in the team chat, “Where are you? Where should I look for you?”
“Westside! Where there are a lot of black monsters!” w.a.n.g Yu, who was busy, succinctly replied to Shroom Devil King.
Shroom Devil King looked around then in [Stealth], followed behind the troop of monsters and quietly left the Light temple.
Compared to her, w.a.n.g Yu was in a more pathetic state.
The G.o.d of Devils Fortress had a greater density of monsters than anywhere else. Even after subtracting half the monsters which were from the Dark faction, the number of monsters chasing w.a.n.g Yu was astronomical.
These monsters flew faster than w.a.n.g Yu. In fact, w.a.n.g Yu did not dare to fly. Instead, he used the faster qinggong to escape.
Qinggong was fast but not good enough against monsters coming from all directions. Furthermore, w.a.n.g Yu’s qinggong was running on the ground so he was limited by the geographic situation and more deadly… there was a limit to qinggong value.
Being surrounded by countless monsters, w.a.n.g Yu dodged left and right, running towards wherever there were more Dark faction monsters.
However, these Light faction monsters were fixated on w.a.n.g Yu, determined to kill him and ignored their past enemies.
Wasting time with these monsters did not advantage w.a.n.g Yu at all. As time pa.s.sed, there were more and more monsters behind w.a.n.g Yu. Just as w.a.n.g Yu was about to use up his qinggong value, suddenly a grey rat ran towards him rapidly.
“Chip, chip!”
That rat squeaked towards w.a.n.g Yu then circled around him before running towards a different direction. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Just then, the monsters after w.a.n.g Yu seemed as though they were possessed. They changed their direction and chased it.
“???”
Watching the monsters far away, w.a.n.g Yu stood on the spot puzzled.
At that time, Shroom Devil King’s voice came from somewhere near, “Disloyal one, I’m saving you this once. You owe me your life!”
“That rat is yours?” w.a.n.g Yu heard her then quickly turned around to ask curiously, “What is that?”
“Mechanical rat!” Shroom Devil King said impolitely, “It’s a one-time equipment I got from running quests. After so long, I only got two of them but I’ve never been willing to use them for myself.
As she spoke, Shroom Devil King took out another rat which looked exactly the same and swung it in front of w.a.n.g Yu.
Mechanical Rat: Special tool. Attracts target’s aggro to elsewhere. After five minutes, if the aggro is not transferred to another target, the attracted monsters’ attributes will be increased by 20%.
“Hm… How interesting.”
w.a.n.g Yu exclaimed after seeing the Mechanical Rat’s attributes.
This thing’s attributes were really despicable as it transferred aggro towards other people. It was perfect for sabotage.
Based on the increased in attributes effect, this thing was also a double-edged sword. Normal players would use it carefully but if it landed in Quan Zhen Sect’s hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was no wonder this little girl, Shroom Devil King, liked to do running quests. It could really bring her so many extraordinary tools.
“Alright, I’ve saved you once, but now, I owe you a favour, so now we are even! Let’s be friends!”
As he spoke, w.a.n.g Yu stretched his hand out to signify the end of their past debt and differences.
“Hmph!” Shroom Devil King reb.u.t.ted him, “Petty! I thought you were going to help me for free this time!”
Although she said this, Shroom Devil King still reached her hand out in reciprocation and both of them left the past behind them.
w.a.n.g Yu chuckled and said, “We may be friends but a deal is a deal! At most I’ll give you a discount. Let’s go, before those monsters come back. We will both die here.”
“En!”
Shroom Devil King nodded and followed behind w.a.n.g Yu as they ran towards the Dark Temple.
Five minutes was neither too long nor too short.
Because w.a.n.g Yu killed Saint Alice, the Light faction’s dead souls were all chasing after the Mechanical Rat and the Dark faction’s monsters also did not attack both of them.
Just like this, the two of them continued to sprint and before the Light Faction’s monster returned, they finally found the Dark Temple which Saint Alice mentioned then quickly found their way in.
Dark Temple was the camp of the Dark monsters so they were safe inside… Looking at the monsters outside pacing up and down looking for him, w.a.n.g Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Just then, a man’s voice sounded in both of their ears.
