The Great Thief - Chapter 479

Chapter 479

It was a risky move to pass through the monsters, but Lu Li didn’t want to waste too much time in this place . Even if he was caught by them, he could still make it out with the number of escape skills that he had .

After he figured out the moving pattern of the mobs, Lu Li stepped out .

He was currently level 34 with many items that boosted his Stealth effect . As long as he was careful not to directly bump into a monster, there was barely any chance that he would be discovered .

Some of the gaps were quite narrow, and Lu Li had to bend to prevent himself from touching them .

In the future, there would be a quest for all Thieves, regardless of faction . The quest would test their Stealth ability, and if they passed successfully, they would receive a Stealth+1 reward .

Some players focused on training these skills, especially treasure hunters in high-level maps .

After a dozen seconds, Lu Li managed to make his way to the other side . There was a boss called Commander Springvale in the room to his left .

He recalled some details about Springvale and gave up on trying to kill this Boss . Springvale had high attack attributes and even better defense attributes . Most importantly, he was an Undead Paladin and could use an immune shield to protect himself . Although the shield wasn’t too troublesome, he could also heal himself and shamelessly summon other monsters to help him .

Lu Li was a Thief, so he had limited time compared to other classes . Even if he dealt high damage, he didn’t have the ability to sustain himself in long fights .

Giving up when he needed to was also a part of being a professional player .

After he left the chapel and went around the room, he found a door that he could leave from . Outside the door stood an isolated wall .

This wasn’t the time for him to relax yet; there were many monsters on the wall .

A lot of people saw these monsters and charged in, but this often didn’t turn out great . If their team wasn’t coordinated enough, there was a chance for them to wipe here .

Someone like Lu Li, who had reincarnated, wouldn’t make such a mistake . He stood from afar and began pulling monsters with his Crossbow one by one and never got close to the Gargoyles that stood on top of the wall .

These Gargoyles looked more like statues .

After countless days of sun and rain, who could imagine that they were still alive?

Once you got close to these Gargoyles, they would instantly awaken . Lu Li’s Stealth had no use against them, as Bat-type monsters had an edge when it came to detection . They didn’t see things with their eyes .

If Lu Li didn’t clear the other monsters and pull the Gargoyles at the same time, he would face a tough battle .

The eight Gargoyles were linked with each other . As soon as one of them was pulled, the others would pounce over too, and all the monsters along the way would also be attracted .

That would be a total of around 30 monsters . No matter how strong Lu Li was, he would still have to run for his life .

To prepare himself, he first sat down and ate some bread .

When the fight began, the eight Gargoyles moved out of their statue form . It was a shocking sight to the eyes and would most likely frighten anyone .

Lu Li’s daggers pierced into the heads of these Gargoyles, dealing around half of their health bars in damage . The level difference worked wonders for him; it allowed him to maximize his Critical Strike attributes .

He tried his best to reduce the number of attacks that landed on him .

The Lifesteal attributes of these bats were too horrifying – as long as their attacks landed, there was a chance for them to recover some health .

The Lifesteal effect in the virtual game wasn’t too pleasant either; it felt like a cold wind down the spine .

After he killed the Gargoyles, Lu Li entered another building from the wall . This was the storage room of the Shadowfang Keep, and there were three bosses inside – Blind Guard Odo, Little Evil Bat and Blood Hunter . The two small bosses had less health and less damage, but they helped the big boss and were quite distracting .

Although the three of them were located in different sections of the room, they would all awaken at the same time, regardless of how you started the fight .

In a normal situation, an average team would kill the two small Bosses first before they fought the Blind Guard Odo .

This wasn’t possible for Lu Li since he was doing the dungeon on his own . He would probably die to the big Boss before he killed the small Bosses .

He didn’t need to kill them at all – if he stayed further away from the Little Evil Bat, he could make it through without being detected .

However, Lu Li couldn’t give up Odo . Besides the fact that it dropped an excellent weapon – Odo’s Ley Staff – it had also dropped White Wolf Fang twice in his previous life . It had a better drop rate than Fenrus the Devourer .

Without a bug that worked in his favour, Lu Li wouldn’t even think about attempting the dungeon by himself .

He quickly wiped out the other monsters, shot an arrow towards the Little Evil Bat and walked the three Bosses around the room .

The three Bosses didn’t move as fast as Lu Li, but there some distance between themselves . Soon enough, Lu Li had adjusted their positions so that the Evil Bat was in front, with the Blood Hunter behind it and Blind Guard Odo last .

He carefully pulled these Bosses and had to take a few hits to adjust them to the optimal position .

This took around three to four minutes . After this, the Evil Bat and Blood Hunter blocked the doorway and Blind Guard Odo was behind them outside the door .

Evil Bat and Blood Hunter were flying monsters, and hovered about one meter above the ground .

This height was enough for Lu Li to bend down and attack, while Odo could only stand behind .

This was the bug in Shadowfang Keep – the two bats blocked the door and because of their body structure, the more they intertwined, the more they blocked the door .

Blind Guard Odo couldn’t attack Lu Li, but Lu Li could deal constant damage to Odo .

Eventually Blind Guard Odo couldn’t take it anymore and began releasing a skill called Howling Rage . This was a buff skill that increased its physical damage by 10% for 20 seconds and could be stacked five times .

Unfortunately, it couldn’t attack Lu Li . Even if it increased its physical damage by 50%, it wouldn’t be able to do anything .

The only trouble that it caused Lu Li was with its spell – Blinding Shadow . This was a skill that dealt true damage, and reduced Lu Li’s health by around 500-600 points each time . If it wasn’t for the fact that Lu Li was high-leveled, half of his health would begone .

Lu Li calmly drank a health potion and his health slowly recovered . Due to his positioning, the completion level of his skills were horrible which dragged out the fight .

After around half an hour, he finally managed to kill the Boss . As for the other two, they weren’t too much trouble for Lu Li .

Once the battle had ended, it was time for him to loot the corpses . Compared to the previous times, he was much more anxious about looting now .

After all, only Blind Guard Odo and Fenrus the Devourer had a decent chance of dropping the White Wolf Fang .
