Chapter 288: Gnome Wolf Knights
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The deeper w.a.n.g Yu went into the cursed forest, the higher the level of the monsters, and the tougher it was to deal with them.
For example, after pa.s.sing Hooktail Scorpions, it was the territory of the level 35 monster, Sickle Beetles.
Sickle beetles lived in groups, they could fly, but gave out little experience points, making them an annoying pest. Any normal player would walk around them.
However, w.a.n.g Yu was an outsider, and did not know about it. He ran into a bunch of sickle beetles by accident, and he spent a lot of effort to get rid of them.
As w.a.n.g Yu continued, he walked past the gnomes" line of defence, before finally reaching the area in blue on his minimap.
The whole area was no different from the rest of the forest, except that it was covered in a grey fog. To make things worse, the system informed w.a.n.g Yu that the area covered in fog cannot be entered. w.a.n.g Yu was dumbfounded again.
"Could there be an entrance?" w.a.n.g Yu mumbled to himself, and started walking around the fog, looking for an entrance.
Before long, w.a.n.g Yu heard battle noises from not far away.
"Eh, there are people here!" w.a.n.g Yu quickly went towards the noise.
As he closed in, w.a.n.g Yu saw a group of grey gnomes surrounding a team of people.
The team looked pretty familiar, it was the team that w.a.n.g Yu came across just now.
The gnomes that surrounded them were completely different from the ugly gnomes that w.a.n.g Yu had seen. These gnomes were muscular, broad, and fierce looking. They were even riding wolves.
w.a.n.g Yu threw a detection skill over to check out their ident.i.ty.
HP: 30 000
MP: 2000
Skills: [Charge], [Sudden Attack], [Buck Shot]
Monster description: The most elite force in gnomes, great mobility and jungle warfare capabilities.
The moment w.a.n.g Yu saw the description, he knew that the team was in trouble.
As compared to human knights, these gnome knights were smaller in size, yet they made up for it with speed and flexibility. They had no problem going through the woods at high speed.
When human knights battle, they would only crush their enemies with their mounts. Surrounding their enemies was unheard of.
Yet, these gnome knights had surrounded the team, and used their guns to attack from afar. The tank was on the verge of death.
Luckily, the team had great coordination, and Thousand Shades of Purple was a decent priest. With her healing and the cover from the trees, the team managed to stay alive so far. However, the situation was not looking good. The team could only defend themselves against the group of elite monsters, and had no chance of retaliating.
"Brother, didn"t you say there was a boss here? How did it end up like this?" The girl in purple complained.
"I don"t know. There was nothing here when I came in the morning, but somehow there are so many monsters now." The big guy was clearly too stressed out by the monsters" attack.
As the gnomes started closing in on them, the team"s room for evasion became smaller. The pressure on them was getting stronger, and they were struggling with their defence.
"F*ck, guess we are going back to the city for free. Thanks a bunch, Storm!"
The team started laughing at the big guy.
"Yeah you have to compensate us, I want to drink Herbal Fragrance…" Herbal Fragrance was the most expensive alcohol in City of Elves, it costed a gold for a bottle, just like the alcohol w.a.n.g Yu used to bribe the Hermit.
"F*ck you, don"t take advantage of the situation!" The big guy was clearly dejected, "Malt beer is fine!"
"F*ck off you stingy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
The team mocked the big guy again, and kept their weapons. They were ready to give up on resisting.
If the equipments were kept in the bad, there was a much lower chance of them dropping if the player died. In <
At that moment, a figure appeared before the team. w.a.n.g Yu had descended from the sky and used [Thunder G.o.d"s Stomp] to kick a gnome off the back of its wolf.
w.a.n.g Yu then did a backflip and landed, while he grabbed another gnome"s head with his right hand, and attacked with his left. Two more gnomes were now on the ground, the gnomes" encirclement was broken by w.a.n.g Yu.
"What the f*ck, is this a hidden quest?"
The team was stunned.
The gnome knights were moving at a high speed. For w.a.n.g Yu to kick one on the face with precision, and then brought down the other two without using a targettable skill, he must have had G.o.dly maneuverability and mechanics.
Furthermore, w.a.n.g Yu"s movement was smooth and confident, as if he had antic.i.p.ated all of it. That was another shock factor for the team.
They were experts themselves, and could tell that w.a.n.g Yu"s mechanics was extraordinary.
For common players, it was reasonable for them to think that only intelligent NPCs could have done that, so they treated w.a.n.g Yu as a NPC, and thought that this was a hidden quest.
"Get out of their encirclement now!" w.a.n.g Yu turned to shout at the team, then went towards the other gnomes.
When they saw w.a.n.g Yu"s face, they got the shock of their lives again, and shouted, "What the f*ck, it"s you!"
They had guessed that w.a.n.g Yu was not a rookie player, but they had never expected w.a.n.g Yu to be so incredibly strong.
Despite their astonishment, the team did not forget to put on their equipments and rushed out from the hole in the encirclement that w.a.n.g Yu had made.
While they were doing so, w.a.n.g Yu had already took down five more gnomes. He then went to join the team.
There were 20 gnome knights in total, w.a.n.g Yu had single handedly brought down almost half of them.
However, in Thousand Shades of Purple"s team, the big guy was the only tank. Apart from her, who was a priest, the rest of the team were either bowmen or thieves.
It was no surprise that their team was surrounded by the gnome knights.
"You dare to attack the knights with only one tank…" w.a.n.g Yu was surprised as well. In real life, a round of arrows from the archers could easily take down a group of knights, but they were in a game. The best way to handle knights in game was to go hard on them and demount them. This was common sense, even for w.a.n.g Yu.
"How the f*ck would we know that there are knights in the forest…" The big guy said in frustration.
Indeed, a large unit like a knight would not be able to use their speed as an advantage in the forest. For the team to come across the elite gnome knights who were not restricted by the forest, they were surely unlucky.
"Nevermind, you guys will go and stop the fallen knights from mounting again. I"ll go and bring the rest down!"
