Lu Li hesitated for a split second and gave up his attempt of trying to test these monsters .
These monsters didn't look easy to defeat, so it was best if he didn't have to fight any of them . He wasn't here to kill – he just needed to pick some Moongrass and make a Moongrass potion from it .
Whether one potion was enough wasn't Lu Li's concern .
The Clawed Druids were very strong, and if you could prove that these potions were useful to them, they would invest all of their energy into finding Moongrass . Perhaps they might even start a war with the Wyrmbog . Of course, these weren't any of Lu Li's concerns either .
After some effort, he finally discovered the first Moongrass plant .
This was a plant hidden within other plants . It had dark green leaves with a small, white flower and was hard to differentiate if you didn't pay enough attention .
However, there were two Dragonspawns that stood to the left of this Moongrass .
It wasn't realistic to wait for them to walk away, then pick the plant . One of them also had vision of the Moongrass, so there was no hope in trying to pick it discretely .
It seemed like his only option was violence .
Lu Li hesitated for a bit, but decided against calling the others . Authority was great, but if he gave up on his own strength and became comfortable with falling back on assistance, would eventually fall like Sorrowless .
He was once a God Mage, but he had become so weak that even a newbie like Lu Li could kill him .
For most players, Lu Li assassinating Sorrowless was just a legend, but it had a lot more impact on these two players as individuals . Sorrowless worked himself once again, trying to climb his way back . On the other hand, Lu Li constantly reminded himself not to become an easy target for others .
He picked the most suitable route where there wasn't too much mud or water, then slowly went into Stealth mode as he crept over .
The Dragonspawn who was in closer proximity seemed to have noticed something and turned towards Lu Li .
"Damn it, this monster's detection level is so high," he cursed to himself .
Lu Li gradually lowered his body and stopped moving; he even slowed down his breathing .
Every Thief knew how to Stealth, but not many of them were actually good at it . Besides Detection and Stealth attributes, the other factor that affected Stealth was a player's technique .
Lu Li was particularly skilled in this; he adjusted himself and disappeared from the Dragonspawn's detection . After the Dragonspawn scanned around in confusion, it turned back to do its own thing .
With his lesson learned, Lu Li began to pay full attention . He snuck up behind the Dragonspawn and Sapped it . Because of the difference in level, the Sap only lasted for about ten seconds .
For an excellent Stealth player, a perfect Sap would be casted on the target, even when they were fully prepared for it .
The reason why Lu Li joined the Ravenholdt Manor was because he wanted to learn Empowerment: Sap . Ravenholdt Manor was probably one of the best organizations in Azeroth that was familiar with Sap .
This had nothing to do with his reincarnation, rather, it was a well-known fact .
Unfortunately, his reputation wasn't high enough, so he couldn't exchange for the skill book .
After he Sapped one monster, his dagger quickly stabbed into the back of the second Dragonspawn's head as he successfully casted Cheap Shot .
This monster had 4500 HP and Lu Li began to calculate as he continued to deal damage .
Of course, it wasn't possible to kill the monster with one rotation of skills; he might not even be able to accomplish the task with two . What Lu Li was currently worried about was if these two monsters would call for help . If a few more of them appeared, he would have to make a run for it .
The Sapped monster had only just woken up, but Lu Li had already tossed some Blind Powder at it, successfully blinding it .
The monster that he attacked didn't have much health left either . He even performed a critical strike when it only had a few hundred health points left, which was a waste . Lu Li looted the dropped items and went into Stealth, then pounced onto the other Dragonspawn .
The experience reward was great, but it had taken him a lot of time and wasn't efficient .
While Lu Li complained about the System settings in his mind, he bent down low to pick up the Moongrass .
He needed five of these to make a potion, so his task had only just begun . In order to find other refresh spots for the Moongrass, Lu Li was forced to venture deeper into Wyrmbog
He found a second one with luck that had no Dragonspawns watching over it .
However, Lu Li didn't dare let his guard down because there were two Dragonspawn bodies nearby . Fresh blood dripped down the small, thin wounds as an irony scent mixed in with the foul stench of the marsh .
There was no way that these Dragonspawn had suddenly died, and they certainly didn't kill each other .
They had likely been killed by someone else who was still lurking nearby . The player in Stealth probably had the same target in mind as Lu Li – Moongrass .
The other player had probably heard some noise and went into Stealth before he got the chance to pick up the plant .
If Lu Li's assumptions were right, the other player was sitting beside the plant, waiting for him to leave or for an opportunity to attack .
Under normal circumstances, Lu Li would have left .
Most players who weren't interested in PVP wouldn't cause extra trouble for themselves during their quests .
However, Moongrass was such a rare item and Lu Li wasn't afraid of a fight either .
As such, he quietly snuck up beside the Moongrass, carefully probing around to see if he could catch the other player .
Lu Li's technique was good and his equipment also increased his Stealth and Detection attributes . However, he still couldn't find his opponent .
Had they already left?
This wasn't possible – if they were strong enough to come to Wyrmbog for this plant, they would at least be level 40 . Although Thieves around this level played dirty, none of them really feared anything .
Lu Li decided to show himself to lure the other player out and bent down beside the Moongrass, as if he was really going to pick the plant .
Regardless other player's purpose, they were still here for the Moongrass anyway .
Ding!
As their daggers clashed, a pure, ringing sound chimed out . One of them had been patiently waiting while the other was prepared . Neither of them had the advantage, but at least Lu Li had gotten what he wanted . It seemed like his opponent really wanted to stop him .
After their brief encounter, both Thieves showed themselves and the Moongrass sat quietly between them .
