The Great Thief - Chapter 477

Chapter 477

Rethilgore was a fierce looking Worgen . How do you tell? All Worgens look the same; you can feel the chill of death from his giant claws .

Two grey wolf mounts and another white-headed Worgen stood by him .

Lu Li was cautious; he brought out his Crystal Protector’s Crossbow, and an arrow landed onto the grass besides Rethilgore .

Only one of the grey wolf mounts was alarmed .

It bent its head in confusion and sniffed the arrow, as if it was attracted by the smell of blood, then raced towards the direction of Lu Li .

As soon as this grey wolf moved, so did the other .

So long as a player didn’t attack directly, many monsters in Dawn could be attracted this way . Lu Li was successful with his method – the small boss didn’t run towards him .

The two grey wolves couldn’t do much to Lu Li .

Using the same tactics, Lu Li quickly cleared out the other monsters and only Rethilgore was left outside the cells .

Lu Li didn’t go ahead to attack the small boss as there was another hidden monster on the left side of the staircase that most people wouldn’t notice . If you attracted the hidden monster by accident, you would have to deal with two monsters instead of one, which greatly increased the risk of the battle .

As long as the preparations were done correctly, Rethilgore would be quite easy to deal with .

Lu Li finished the battle with half of his health remaining . After all, this was a small boss that only had 25,000 HP and was also four levels under him .

If Lu Li had equipment with Lifesteal, it would make the battle even easier for him .

Unfortunately, his Supreme Ring had already lost the attribute during the previous upgrade process, and there was no guarantee that he would be able to obtain it again in the future . Perhaps he could ask the Keeper of the Grove if he could add it on with some special materials .

From what Remulos, the Keeper of the Grove, had told him, the development of the ring wasn’t a set routine .

Malfurion was on a journey as a Druid . As for Lu Li, he planned to become a king in the shadows .

Results were always determined by the amount of hard work put in . Lu Li was never a lucky person – Rethilgore only dropped a level 30 Silver equip and two level 25 steel equips .

The attributes were horrifying and most mainstream players wouldn’t be interested in them .

The boss dropped one and half gold coins, which was quite a good surprise . Some expert hunters would bring pets with defense attributes and do dungeons on their own for money . The amount of gold coins dropped was enough for them to earn a living .

Then, Lu Li saw two prison cells in front of him . One of them held an Alliance captive, while the other held a Horde captive . . .

The rest of dungeon section was relatively simple . Players who had too much time to kill would release the Horde captive instead of the Alliance one and would be faced with a tough battle .

Lu Li wouldn’t have any trouble winning against the Horde captive, but there was no point in doing so . A professional player wouldn’t be interested in doing pointless things .

After he pressed on the button on the wall, the cell door opened and the Alliance captive was released .

"I didn’t believe that I would be released someday . Thank you, Elf . The future ahead is filled with unknown danger – do you wish to continue?" the Alliance captive asked as he walked out of the cell .

"Of course . No matter how dangerous the future may be, I’m determined to continue," Lu Li replied .

This was a standard line . If Lu Li decided to turn back, the dungeon would end here . As long as the answer seemed about right, the captive would help you open the door so that you could continue .

"May the holy light be with you," the captive said as he took two steps back and disappeared in front of Lu Li .

On the other side of the door was an open garden, which was enclosed by a fence . The monsters were packed tightly together and five elite monsters patrolled the area .

Lu Li didn’t bother clearing out these monsters . Instead, he went into Stealth and snuck to the stable beside the garden .

There were three elite level horses there .

These weren’t monsters that attacked on their own – you could kill them slowly, one by one .

Some say that these horses might drop a mount, but this was a questionable story . Lu Li didn’t believe it and he wasn’t going to bother trying . His target was the treasure box inside the stable .

Lu Li had previously managed to find a Frost Nova skill book in a treasure box in the starting village .

After he cleared all the monsters that he might attract, Lu Li opened the treasure box carefully and reached for the two items within .

Jade Spider Web . . .

Even though this was a rare material, it was too already too common .

The second item was a level 25 steel equip . Lu Li hesitated for a bit, but still placed the item in his bag . No matter how bad it was, it was still worth some money . As long as he had space in his bag, it was important for him as a professional player to put everything he had into use .

At this stage, Lu Li could choose to move upwards or enter the kitchen on the left . If he moved up, he could fight two fewer monsters .

Lu Li chose to enter the kitchen .

All the Worgen monsters in Shadowfang Keep had a chance to drop a White Wolf Fang . Lu Li couldn’t give up on it, no matter how small the chances might be .

Butcher’s Slicer – this weapon dropped by Razorclaw the Butcher was fairly good, and many players would probably be willing to buy it .

Rows of maggot infested meat hung on the walls, and rotten grain was scattered in the corners . Together, these aromas combined themselves into a strange, pungent smell .

Most players didn’t like taking this route because of its environment .

Lu Li went into Stealth and snuck behind a human spirit . He needed to kill the two Spirit Slaves in the kitchen first . Doing a dungeon alone was no easy task, and it was best to get rid of any threat that he could .

Spirit monsters were immune to some magic attacks, but this barely made any difference to physical damage classes like Lu Li’s class .

After he killed the monsters, Lu Li took some time to recover before he fought the boss .

Razorclaw the Butcher wasn’t a hard boss, but he had a very disgusting spell – Eviscerate . This Eviscerate was different to the Eviscerate that Thieves could learn . It was a skill that applied a bleed effect and the damage was quite high .

Lu Li went into the fight prepared – he activated his damage reduction whenever a bleed effect was applied onto him .

The boss barely gave him any experience, or good equipment, and didn’t drop any rare materials either . Lu Li didn’t waste his time being disappointed; he quickly packed up and moved to the next location .

If Shadowfang Keep had a high chance of dropping rare materials, it would be way more popular .

There were many bosses in Shadowfang Keep, but most of them weren’t strong .

Only those players who wanted others to help them level up purchased scrolls for Shadowfang Keep . They would find someone who could repeatedly clear the dungeon for them .

Behind the kitchen was the food court, which was the restaurant inside the Keep .
