The Great Thief - Chapter 838

Chapter 838: 838
Azuregos refreshed on a passage where it was unblocked . It was easy to see the entire scene from afar, so Lu Li and the others dragged the Boss into a small mountain ridge .


However, this wouldn't protect them from everything . Players who were trying to mine or gather herbs would often wander into isolated places like this .
This time, what found them wasn't a miner or gatherer – it was a Thief who was hunting for treasure chests . His ID was Wu Qin .
Wu Qin had discovered that a Silver chest often refreshed in this small mountain ridge at a set time, so he came here every single day .
Over time, he had built up some wealth, even managing to pay off his mortgage and buy a car in real life .
Anyone could get far in the game . Just because Lu Li had reincarnated didn't mean that he owned everything .
Wu Qin was relatively ambitious – after he sorted out his financial issues, he bought some decent equipment and joined Freedom Sky .
Freedom Sky was currently ranked sixteenth on the guild rankings and were quite established .
Like usual, Wu Qin came to open his treasure chest . He had repaired his equipment at the campsite when he teleported here, which caused him to be slightly late .
He heard the Azuregos announcement on the map channel and he laughed at the unlucky player that had probably run into it by accident .
However, when he approached the mountain ridge, he noticed that something wasn't right .


In the beginning, he thought that his secret had been discovered .
He hadn't even shared this secret after he joined the guild . Silver chests often gave good equipment and materials, and were a stable income that was much better than anything his guild could offer .
There was no way that a single Silver chest could attract so many people . These were all players from the same guild too .
Ruling Sword!
He remembered how this guild had risen to its position, and a scary thought appeared in his head .
Ruling Sword was slaying the Blue Dragon, Azuregos!
For most players that were active in the nearby maps, Azuregos was a legend . The average players agreed that there was no way to take him down before reaching level 50 .
Wu Qin had seen with his own eyes how this boss slaughtered players indiscriminately; it was a massacre .
One frost skill brought all targets within ten yards to critical health, while a blizzard would finish them off .
What disgusted the players the most was the Frost Mark .


Anyone who died to Azuregos would have a 15-minute Frost Mark that cannot by dispelled . When the Blue Dragon casted ice spells, any targets who had the mark within its 70 yard range would be frozen for 2 minutes . This was a frozen effect that cannot be dispelled, and would not disappear, even if you went offline or committed suicide .

This meant that if someone died, they were guaranteed to keep dying, even if they were resurrected . Besides using Ice Block, other skills couldn't do anything .
It was hard to believe that Ruling Sword was going to challenge this Boss .
Wu Qin realized all the players that he had encountered were outer ring players who were on alert to prevent other guilds from interrupting them .
This was a chance!
Wu Qin trusted his own invisibility skills and quickly ventured into the mountain ridge . He had to understand what was going on with the Boss so that he could hand off the intel .
This would be a great profit for him, regardless if it was handed to his guild or to information traders .
Ruling Sword could only use melee players and Hunters for this Boss . The other classes didn't do much damage so they were assigned to guard around .
When the Boss first shouted, the players from Ruling Sword became anxious . They were worried that the other major guilds would attempt to disrupt them .
However, to their surprise, none of that happened . No one actually believed that they were trying to take down Azuregos .
There were even some players in the local chat joking that 'Azuregos Daddy' was out on the hunt again . They wondered which loser was going to drop their equipment and experience .
So, as time went by, their guard started to drop .
Wu Qin was a decent player; both his equipment and level were elite . When he entered the mountain ridge and remained undiscovered, he began to look down on Ruling Sword .
This was a new guild without a firm foundation .
Usually, major guilds had a set amount of main members who started a new game together . These players were much more skilled and of a higher quality than the ordinary players .
Wu Qin had to hold himself back from the urge to knock out the Ruling Sword members who were standing on guard . He quickly followed the passage way and approached the battle zone .
Waves of heat!
Wu Qin was blown away, and horrifically found that a Mage in a gold robe had casted a spell on him .
He had only just landed on his feet when frost began to climb up his body .
Wu Qin quickly used his badge to dispel his frozen state .
Some might have questioned his move, since Frost would be removed once he was attacked . However, if he didn't defrost himself, the Mage would have time to channel a powerful spell . Moreover, there were also other Ruling Sword players waiting around .
Wu Qin was just about to make his escape after he broke the ice, but was faced with the fiery, roaring head of a golden dragon .
This was Dragon's Breath, a signature Fire Mage skill! It dealt decent damage and also came with a Confusion debuff .
The Ruling Sword players gathered around, but strangely enough, none of them moved . They just held their arms and watched on from the side; none of them seemed interested in helping .
"One on one?" Wu Qin asked as he blinked his eyes in confusion .
"You want to fight me one on one? Sure – if you can beat me, I'll let you go today," the Mage in gold robe smirked .
There were so many players here and he insisted on a one-on-one fight . Did he have no shame?
Wu Qin liked it this way, and silently wiped some poison on his dagger as he planned his battle strategy .
He didn't know if the other player would keep his words, but this was a chance for him regardless . No one wanted to lose experience and possibly a hard-earned equip .
