Chapter 12 Thieves
On the way, Weixi briefly introduced his profession to Li Yao - "Shadow Guard", who is good at speed and shadow, and takes into account both defense and survival abilities. He is a very comprehensive warrior profession.
As he said that, he showed Li Yao a hand, but he saw him pulling out the blade casually. The shrubs around him and a tree as thick as a head suddenly broke.
Li Yao couldn't help but widen his eyes. Weixi's sword was not shocking, but the speed of the sword... he didn't see clearly at all.
Is this level 3?
It seems that the level improvement is greater than expected...
The mission destination was not far away, but the speed of the two men's travel was determined by Li Yao. Weixi had never breathed along the way and had been walking ahead. He also introduced various strange species to Li Yao from time to time, which opened Li Yao's eyes.
It was not until the sky completely dark that the two of them arrived at the mission location in the northeast direction.
"Don't resist, I'll give you a night protection." Weissie grabbed Li Yao and put her left hand on his shoulder.
Something was muttering, and a strange light flashed in his left hand... Li Yao suddenly felt that his eyes became brighter! It was a little dim, but he could still see things clearly.
It's incredible, is this the power of a pro?
"This is your professional skill? Could I learn this?" Li Yao blinked hard, experiencing the power of novelty.
"No, "Night Protective" is the exclusive skill of the Shadow-based profession." Weixi shook her head, then asked casually:
"What is your profession? You should still be a Level 1 trainee, right?"
"Uh, my profession is "Ranker", um... the level is still 0." After hesitating for a moment, Li Yao told the truth.
"Level…0? Shouldn't a profession be promoted to level 1 when he is in office and obtain at least 1 professional skill?"
Weixi expressed his perception, and after he finished speaking, he also understood that Li Yao's level 0 should be the special thing about "selected person".
"You can understand that the source of our "selected" is not the same as that of you. We need to complete a ritual to gain strength from it. Today I ask you for help, just to complete a ritual."
Li Yao had a long time to explain the "task" in his mind, and this statement can just conceal his strange "task-doing" behavior.
"Including this time, after experiencing one or two more times, I can be promoted to Level 1 professional."
"So that's it..." Weissy showed a blank expression of "I understand completely".
"Can you start... your upgrade ceremony... what should I do?" Weissi suddenly became much more serious.
"Yeah, come with me."
Li Yao manually marked the approximate location on the map, and he still had to find the detailed location according to the task guidance.
Holding the hunting crossbow in his hand tightly, Li Yao gradually walked into a dense forest, and Weixi, who was far more agile than him, always protected him.
Pulling aside a bush, Li Yao discovered the mission location in the center of the forest... a camping site that is no longer human?
The agile Weixi rushed out of the bush first, and flashed to the extinguished fire in the middle of the camp.
He squatted down and carefully observed the camping traces...
"One person, within ten stars (20 hours), a professional, stays for a short time... Well? Food residues are ordinary dry food."
Weissi was extremely sophisticated. Even though the camp had been cleared before someone left, he still inferred some clues.
"And this..." Weixi closed her eyes gently and sniffed a trace of odor in the air.
Turning around and walking a few steps, he squatted down again, stretching out his hand to stir in the soil for a few times.
Sniff a few wet mud at the fingertips...
"The blood contaminated with some toxin, this person was poisoned." Weixi calmly said this important clue.
Li Yao, who was standing aside, showed his shock that belonged to modern people. This...is worthy of being a real profession, career, and person!
Even though his level has caught up with him, his various skills and psychological qualities are still far behind, and Li Yao couldn't help but have some new ideas.
But now it's still doing the serious business.
…
[Objective: Explore three strange places (1/3)]
…
The task directly prompted that part of it has been completed. It seems that this task is different from what he thought, and it is not a few secret places similar to the Warcraft Nest.
"I felt that my ceremony was to find this person." Li Yao still said to Weixi according to his previous statement.
Weissi was carefully exploring the surroundings and also determined that his analysis of the camper's departure direction was consistent with the direction of the marking on the map, without any weirdness.
"Okay, let's go to the next location."
...
"This is the wreckage of the black-shelled pig."
Weissi squatted next to a pile of fire extinguishing, picked up a clean rib and observed it.
"He only stayed here for a short while, made a fire and barbecue, and left after eating." Li Yao could also see something, but Weixi was working too fast.
"The black-shelled pig is very ferocious. He is poisoned and even puts his hunting target on this beast. It seems that he is a veteran."
Weissy wiped the grease on her hands and stood up. There was nothing good to look here.
"It's time to go to the next location, be careful, he's probably still there." Li Yao also received the task progress beating.
"Hmm? Why are you still there? After so long, he must have gone a long way. It was a long process to find him."
Weissi seemed very interested in chasing an injured profession and was not impatient with the possible long hunt.
"No, I can be sure he is definitely still there, this is the ritual." Li Yao could not explain the "player"'s experience of "mission mechanism", so he can only say that.
"Okay, since you said that, I'll take you there."
...Weixi and Li Yao first walked to the vicinity of the last location, about two hundred meters away. After that, Weixi obviously used a certain professional skill.
As soon as he waved his hand, Li Yao and him were wrapped in a dark aura. Li Yao immediately felt like he was in a wonderful state... his body was light and fluttering.
The dark aura that wrapped the two of them was carrying them forward gradually without making any noise.
...
Beating flames were revealed in the cracks in the dense forest, and the flames reflected a thin shadow on the trunks.
A figure wrapped in black clothes sat next to the fire, facing his back to Li Yao and Weixi, his trembling shoulders meant that he seemed to be busy with some craftsmanship.
Li Yao glanced at Weixi next to him, his lips stammered, indicating whether he could speak.
Weissi shook his head and continued to monitor the figures in front of him.
The figure who had been busy for a while stopped temporarily. He habitually took out a small object from his arms and glanced at him...
"who!?"
The small object seemed to have brought some information to the figure, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing that he was discovered, Weixi's eyes narrowed and her body flew out like a spring, hitting the figure next to the fire.
During the approaching process, the sound of the blade being unsheathed indicates that the battle end was started.
…
【Invisible Thieves, Level 2】
…
Li Yao, hiding in the dark, watched the two of them fight together. As early as the first time he saw this mission target, Li Yao knew his approximate profession and level.
But he could not reveal this to Vishi, and this stealth skill seemed to be unable to cover up the sound.
Now that Weixi has been exposed, Li Yao has not made any prompts. He feels that it is more useful to hide in the dark.
He picked up the crossbow and hit the enchanted crossbow arrow flashing with cold light. Li Yao pulled the crossbow string and aimed at the front...
In a blink of an eye, Weixi and the thief had fought for several rounds. The thief seemed to be completely at a disadvantage and could only deal with it.
"when"
Weixi's blade was pressed down again, and the thief blocked it with a long dagger. It seemed that he had too much effort. A slight sound of muscle tearing came from the thief's abdomen, and then his abdomen was stained red with large pieces of blood.
It seems that he was not only poisoned, but also injured.
The sudden change caused the thief to sweat suddenly. He tried to escape again and escape... To the thief's surprise, the shadow guard on the opposite side did not intercept him this time...
This not only did not relax him, but instead made him feel more and more crisis. He was fully prepared for the standing still Visi.
And at this time...
Taking advantage of the separation of Weixi and the thief, the thief was also in a short period of pain and panic. When he seized the opportunity, Li Yao's finger moved.
"Swoosh"
Although Li Yao's crossbow looks mini, with the blessing of enchantment, the crossbow arrows shot out are extremely powerful, and the enchanted arrows that are unbearable, the thief who is hit has the most say.
"Ah~"
The thief, who had no sound even when his wound was broken, was hit in the chest by the crossbow arrow, and the armor he was wearing was penetrated. The severe pain made his screams deformed.
Seeing that the thief was shot by a hidden arrow, Weixi fell to the ground and struggled. Her focused and tense expression and posture were uncontrollable. He stepped forward and intended to make a final finishing attack.
"etc."
Li Yao stopped Weixi, who wanted to take advantage of the situation and walked out of the bushes.
"What? Are you trying to interrogate him? IMHO, he is an invisible person and will not be easily pried open."
Weissi seems to recognize the thief.
"No, I mean...let me do it!"
Li Yao crossed over Weixi, hit a crossbow arrow again, and quickly adjusted the thief who was struggling on the ground... and hit the head, the thief stopped struggling.
"So that's the case. The ceremony must be solved by yourself?" Weixi nodded, feeling that she had understood the essence of the ceremony.
“…”
