The Great Thief - Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178: 1178




"Pfft . "

Wandering held back his laughter . He wanted to go and make fun of Azure Sea Breeze, but he quickly reacted and grabbed the aggro of the Boss .

"Happy, happy little frog, actually a Prince in disguise . The curse can only be broken with a kiss from the princess," Kitty Likes Meat began to sing .

"Happy happy little frog… . " Hachi Chan also started singing .

"Happy happy little frog…" Remnant Dreams stopped trying to tame it and joined in as well .

Azure Sea Breeze was still jumping around on the ground and probably wanted to die on the inside . Fortunately, March Rain was nice enough to cleanse the debuff .

Transform - Transform an enemy player into a random animal, causing them to lose all abilities and skills .

This was the Shadow Hunter's Transformation skill and it was very powerful . Enemies affected by the spell lost all defensive stats and could not be cleansed nor dispelled by an active . It could only be dispelled by other players . Otherwise, the target would stay as an animal for a whole two minutes .

As soon as Azure Sea Breeze transformed back, Wandering became a cute little bunny .

"Is this a competition to be cute? Jaweika joked .

"Haha, I'd rather be a frog than bunny . Move aside and don't get in my way," Azure Sea Breeze said . He did not realize how stupid he looked before .

Azure Sea Breeze ran towards March Rain with tears in his eyes .

March Rain had to keep the entire party alive because of the chain lightning and had no time to save Wandering .

"Don't save him . I think if we turn him back, the Boss might turn someone else into an animal," Lu Li instructed, not realizing how much his words hurt Wandering .

In reality, Lu Li was wrong about his hypothesis .

Jaweika was transformed while Wandering was still a bunny . This time, Lu Li instructed March Rain to turn Jaweika back .

"****, screw you!" Wandering thought to himself .

"I thought you were happy to sacrifice yourself for the team . "

Lu Li knew Wandering would act that way .

Transformation mechanics was very complicated and there was a lot of research put into it . In his past life, Lu Li read about relevant strategies which were written by players who gathered information through interviews and personal experiences .

The Main Tank, as the player closest to the Boss, had the highest chance to get transformed . The rest of the party had a random chance of being transformed .

Three players could be simultaneously affected at once, meaning that if Wandering was transformed then there could only be two other players that could be targeted . As a relatively useless secondary tank, it was be more useful for him to be one of the three that were targeted .

Insectoids were also summoned in Stage 2 and this time, they were even more powerful .

However, with their previous experiences, the Mages no longer needed Lu Li to give them the signal for freezing the insects . Lonesome Flower's Water Elemental was very useful too because he could use Frost Nova as well .


Fat Monkey and Nuo Yu didn't have Water Elemental pets because learning Ice skills would decrease their Fire damage . They wanted to maximize their DPS as much as possible and didn't want to sacrifice their damage for a Water Elemental pet, even if it could use Frost Nova .

Stage 2 would be quite simple as well, as long as everyone remained calm when they were transformed .

Lu Li and his teammates were quite powerful and even if they lost a few players, they were still able to deal with the monsters that Vosh'Gaijin summoned .

The hardest stage was stage 3 .

"You crazy imbeciles, which one of you want to die first?" Vosh'Gaijin screamed in a high-pitched voice .

As she waved her hands, lava erupted and a fiery monster appeared from the grounds beneath them . This was Shadow Hunter's Serpent Guard .



The Trolls were an ancient race with a rich history . They worshipped different totems that represented animals and Snakes were one of the most important ones . The Shadow Hunters' ability to summon Serpent Guards was a demonstration of their ability to connect and converse with the spirits .

Vosh'Gaijin was able to summon it because of the four Trolls that were helping her .

This sudden change of events caused some panic in the Ruling Sword party . By the time they realized that Magic attack was useless against the Serpent, there were only a few players left in the party .

The Serpent Guard only had 300 HP and could easily be killed with Physical attacks .

Lu Li saw that everyone's spirits were low and encouraged them .

"Don't worry – we've only wiped twice . "

Vosh'Gaijin was actually quite easy to defeat, as long as you figured out all the tricks up her sleeve . Otherwise, there was no reason for Lu Li to skip the first boss and go straight for Vosh'Gaijin .

Everyone responded but not many believed in what Lu Li said .

This was a Level 56 dungeon; there was no such thing as a Boss that was easy to defeat . They were wiped as soon as they reached stage 3 and it seemed as if Vosh'Gaijin had more tricks up her sleeve .

She had summoned Insectoids and Serpents; who knew what she was going to do next?

However, on their third try, the quickly realized that they had overestimated the Boss . The first and second stages were like a piece of cake . In stage three, the physical attackers focused the serpents while the other classes activated their defensives .

There weren't a lot of physical AoE attacks, but they still had a few options in the party .

Lu Li's Fan of Knives was quite weak, but Remnant Dream's Volley and Multi-Shot, and Moonlight's Whirldwind were very powerful physical damaging AOE skills .

Hunters were nerfed in the recent patch .

Not only did the damage of the pets decrease, but Remnant Dream's buffs were nerfed and could now only be useful for Physical attacking classes . Remnant Dream was depressed for a couple of days until Hachi Chan took her to a NPC to learn this new AOE skill .

Now, she was as good as a Mage at mobbing .



Of course, with the rise and fall of classes with different updates, Hunters would eventually become one of the best classes in the game . Lu Li remembered very clearly that he was very tempted to play Hunter because of how powerful they were at the time .

During that time, Hunters were able to solo less-mobile Wild Bosses as well as low-level dungeons .

The most important change was that they gained a new equipment in their gear slot called a Quiver which held their arrows . They were the only class in the game with an additional item slot and the benefit was that it came with stats and special effects .

After a while, the game developers realized that Hunters were too overpowered and nerfed them again .

All classes had times when they were very powerful as well as times when they were useless, including Mages and Warriors .

Besides the Serpents, Vosh'Gaijin didn't really do anything else that was too difficult to deal with . She managed to take out five members before her HP bar was depleted .

Vosh'Gaijin wasn't the final Boss of the dungeon and defeat was not broadcasted on world chat or announced on the news . Therefore, the players outside the guild had no idea that they had already defeated the second Boss in the dungeon . However, this doesn't mean the other guilds weren't keeping an eye on them .

"Did you find it?" Sorrowless asked as he rubbed his eyebrows, not expecting an answer to his question .

"We only know that someone sold the strategy to Blood Red War Flag . Our undercover members in the guild did not hear about this until the very last minute," the informant Castle Smokes said nervously .

"Smokes, why do you have that expression? I'm not going to eat you or anything . "

Sorrowless was even more pissed off now .

"Boss… I… I . . " Castle Smokes scratched his head .

"You're one of the first that was with me since the start . Why are you so distant from me now?" Sorrowless sighed .

"No Boss, I just feel bad for letting you down . I'm not reporting the information in time," Castle Smokes mumbled, almost in tears . "Boss, do you know how easily-irritated you've been for the past two days? Even big brother Blood Dagger was yelled at by you .

"Even without any progress, at least now we know that Blood Red War Flag isn't behind all of this," Sorrowless said, trying to calm himself down a bit .

"I think someone is selling the information to them . We've been at it for over a week and it's not impossible that someone discovered what we were doing . The most important thing is how that secret passage came about," Castle Smokes said . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

"Yeah, if it wasn't for the secret passage, we wouldn't have lost over 2000 Elite players . Most of them were the core of the guild as well . "

Sorrowless was beginning to become furious again . They had lost around 1000 to 2000 players and even more after they tried to reinforce them . Glory Capital had more than a hundred thousand players, and losing 3000 was something that had never happened before .

"Let's just keep on a lookout and see who has the guts to trick two major guilds at once . "

Sorrowless' voice was becoming lower and lower . He was very frustrated because he had lost so many players because of nothing .

"I've already organized some men . As soon as we receive information, we'll act accordingly," Castle Smokes said .

"What are you going to do if you came across the person who's been selling them information?" Sorrowless asked .

"Depends on who . If he's not affiliated with a guild, then I guess I'll try to get on his good side," Castle Smokes answered after some careful thinking .

"Okay, sounds good . " Sorrowless nodded in agreement .

"Also, Boss, Ruling Sword's clearing team has entered the dungeon . "

Before Castle Smokes left, he also updated Sorrowless about Ruling Swords . He had sent out the orders to keep an eye out on Ruling Sword, Drizzle Court and Blood Red War Flag as these three guilds were the top threats for them .

"How long have them been in there for and have they come back out?" Sorrowless asked .

"It's been almost an hour . Do you think they hearthstoned back to town inside the dungeon?" Castle Smokes speculated .

"That's a possibility, but Castle Smokes, as an informant, don't always think positively about events that are happening . Sometimes we need to think of the worst case possible so that we'll take more action," Sorrowless responded .

"Okay boss, I'll contact the person who sold us Dungeon strategies last time and see if I can gather more information . "

Castle Smokes saw that Sorrowless nodded and immediately ran away . He knew that Boss was in a bad mood and he had been stressed out because of this recently . Was it possible that Ruling Sword had defeated the first Boss?!
