After saying goodbye to Garona, Lu Li chose to practice his Stealthing technique .
A player couldn't easily Strengthen their skills, but there was no restriction on practicing them . Just like when Water Fairy received the Backstab skill, her mentor specifically asked her to reach 100% completion before learning it .
Stealth was a basic skill that didn't have degrees of completion, but Lu Li still chose to practice it for a while before Strengthening it .
The location he chose to train in was the Eastern Plaguelands .
There were a wide range of monsters here, ranging from level 40 to 50, including Abominations, Ghouls, Zombies, Warriors, Ghosts, Wizards and Lichs, with Gargoyles and Ice Dragons circling in the air . Most importantly, there were many monsters with high Detection like Bats, Spiders, Locusts, Undead Thieves and Assassins .
Among the more perceptive were the Bats, the Lich and the Undead Thieves .
For most players, these were anti-Stealth monsters that could see all invisible units . However, Lu Li knew that this was because of their high Detection ability .
Natural disasters regularly afflicted the Plaguelands from the Lich King far north .
Now that the Lich King has regained his Strength, all of the Scourge had completely surrendered to him . There were no more traitors like Lady Sylvanas and The Forsaken .
Here, zealous crusaders and the Undead were locked in endless battles .
The crusaders drew strength from the light, and were committed to eliminating the Undead and protecting human survivors . However, because of their zealously, this group gradually had to face the natural disasters that were afflicting the lands .
Lu Li himself didn't object to this crusade .
Those aristocrats that accused them from afar were only the mouthpieces of the Paladins that came here to die . They had no idea how serious the situation at the frontlines was .
Lu Li entered Light's Hope Chapel, which was the only safe place in the Eastern Plaguelands .
Light's Hope Chapel was the base for the Silver Dawn Organisation's activities in the Eastern Plaguelands . Negotiations between the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade were also held here .
Both the Alliance and Horde players could receive quests here and exchange Silverstone for Silver Dawn reputation . As Light's Hope Chapel existed as a neutral area, both factions had to access it . At the same time, guards of the area would harshly treat those who disturbed the peace .
Commodity Officer Metz received Lu Li, the new recruit .
The Plaguelands were no longer an inhospitable place as they had once been when Lu Li first came here . Many players who were now level 40 chose this place to train and fight in .
This was especially the case for the Paladins, who would respond to the call of Silver Dawn and vow to fight the Undead .
"Killing is the only way you can increase your rank . Go out and kill a number of Scourge; you might receive a number of Scourge Stones . As long as you bring these back, I will give you some rewards," Commodity Officer Metz said with disdain .
"As you wish, sir," Lu Li bowed politely .
Despite his impoliteness, Commodity Officer Metz was actually a brave warrior who had been paralyzed in battle and had lost both of his arms .
There was once a wave of Scourge that attacked the chapel . In response, he raised a huge warhammer and charged right into them .
After leaving the chapel, Lu Li immediately entered Stealth .
In addition to the Paladins, there was also a Troll army in the area . They had come from Zul'Aman in the South and were seeking to regain their ancient kingdom .
Tareshkin and his army had planned to expel the Scourge from the land . It did not matter that the land was barren – the land had once belonged to them and he firmly believed that it would belong to them again!
Although they were part of different camps, Lu Li didn't attack him . He had his own interests to look out for .
Among the Scourge, Princes Arthas was leading the Undead masses to indiscriminately butcher all those people he had once vowed to protect .
Lu Li attacked two Undead soldiers from Stealth, hitting one with Sap and another with Cheap Shot .
With one rotation of skills, the Undead Elite Warrior that had more than 8,000 HP died . In addition to Lu Li's equipment, which dealt bonus damage to Undead, the fact that Lu Li was level 45 played a huge part in this damage output .
The fate of the other soldier was the same .
"Friend, do you want to party up? Thieves aren't very good alone in the Plaguelands and we are lacking a damage output player…"
"That's okay; I'm fine alone," Lu Li politely refused . He noticed before his fight that this team had been fighting an Undead Warrior, and was impressed by their strength . After Lu Li had dealt with his two monsters, they had also finished their battle .
It was a party of four players, but the strongest was a Paladin .
The Paladin profession was a jack of all trades . They could play as a Main Tank, a Defensive Caster or a Healer . Although they weren't very good at dealing with large numbers, their Consecration skill was still extremely powerful .
Their Divine Skills also had bonus damage against the Undead .
Many solo Priests chose to level up here, as their usually weak attacks received a considerable damage bonus .
"Friend, it's no trouble for us . We can take you in," the Paladin offered . He was fighting at the time and clearly didn't see how Lu Li had just killed the two Undead Warriors on his own .
"I'm really fine, thank you," Lu Li asserted .
"No matter, as long as you help us kill some of these monsters," the Paladin said fervently .
Lu Li was speechless .
He wasn't sure if it was this Paladin just had a very strong belief in the light, but it seemed like he had gone crazy . It was as though he couldn't distinguish the game from reality .
In the Plaguelands, these monsters belonged to the System . Even if you killed them, they would still refresh . Why would it matter if he killed one or two more?
"If you need me, I'll help out . I'm here to practice my skills . "
Although Lu Li was confused by the Paladin's behaviour, he didn't look down on these players . Instead, he simply assumed that they had pure intentions .
"Then don't stray too far from us, if something happens we can help you," the Paladin said worriedly as Lu Li ran towards the higher-levelled Lich monsters .
