The Great Thief - Chapter 863

Chapter 863




"Hey, go into the thick grass," Lu Li said . He didn't really want to leave this girl behind either .

The players who came by were speaking loudly and didn't seem to have a care in the world . Given all their swearing, they were probably young players who thought they were invincible .

"I want to taste roast bear paw . When my dad was young, he would go hunting with a second-generation bear hunter…"

"I've had a good time today . I don't know if there are any bears in reality, but if there are, we should organize a group to hunt them . I can find us some guns…"

It turned out that they were here for a barbeque .

Lu Li didn't know how to respond to this, but they were in the Bear Hunting competition after all, and the players here were very strange .

He had no other choice but to begin preparing for battle . If they were here to barbeque, it was obviously because of the wood that was all around them . However, if this group continued to travel deeper into the woods, they probably wouldn't be able to co-exist peacefully .

The hunting knife was large and had an advantage against the bears, but Lu Li still liked using his dagger .

He decided not to bother with his long bow as he probably wouldn't be able to get more than one shot off, but still held on to his crossbow .

The only problem was that he didn't have many arrows left – there were only 12 remaining .

Lu Li had to take the initiative to attack and slowly approached this group of unusual people .



Sure enough, they were definitely quite eccentric . He could smell the irony scent of blood from afar, and as he got closer, it turned out that their faces were smeared with blood .

Lu Li held his dagger in his mouth and aimed his crossbow at the player closest to him .

He hesitated and didn't immediately pull the trigger . He wasn't sure that he would hit the guy in the head, but this was definitely attract the attention of the others .

There were a total of 13 players carrying all kinds of weapons, and nearly all of them were holding onto more than one . This group of young players must have killed quite a few other players .

Lu Li slowly retreated back into the woods .

He leaned against a tree and waited patiently . Not An Elementary Student was sitting in the grass not far from him and thought that he had fallen asleep .

Finally, he heard footsteps . The person who had walked into the trees was foul-mouthed and seemed to be dissatisfied with being assigned the task of collecting firewood . He wasn't even carrying any large weapons with him .

Lu Li estimated his position given where his voice was coming from and slowly walked over to him .

He couldn't use the Stealth that he would normally use in-game, but he still couldn't help but perform the Stealth action that he would normally .

The player gathering firewood didn't realize that someone was standing right behind him .

When he stood up with his dry sticks, he felt a hand on his mouth as he was clutched tightly . He then felt a coldness on his neck and lost consciousness without even feeling any pain .



Lu Li slowly lowered his target and dragged him off to the side before returning to his original position .

Not long after, another player entered the words . He was sent to see where the firewood gatherer had gone, but instead was greeted by a dagger in his neck .

Just like that, Lu Li managed to kill a total of four players .

This was just a group of ordinary players after all . Even though there were 13 of them, they had no idea that there was an expert hiding in the woods, waiting to ambush them .

"We can escape," Not An Elementary Student whispered quietly .

In fact, they could have quietly run away by now . After all, this group of players hadn't rushed into the woods yet .

"No, we don't have horses, so we can't get far . We need to deal with them," Lu Li said as he put the body down and pulled his dagger out .

Not An Elementary Student was a little scared .

"That's no surprise; you're obviously addicted to killing . "

Lu Li's approach was too clean; he had killed four players in a matter of minutes which caused her to suspect that he was a murderer in real life .

"You can run along the forest – go, quickly," Lu Li said he pointed in a direction .

After four players had died, the group quickly realized that something was wrong and decided they would approach it together .

Not An Elementary Student was very obedient this time, and marched her short legs all the way out .

"Over there, over there!" the group shouted upon discovering the little schoolgirl and fired two shots at her . This scared the loli and she began running even faster as the rest also started to follow her .

Lu Li didn't stand up to fight like a hero so that she had time to escape – that would be too melodramatic . He had no intention of sacrificing himself for her, and was using her as bait . He carefully hid himself behind a bush and waited for this group of players to walk by him before aiming his crossbow .

His targets were moving quickly and were harder to hit .

Lu Li aimed at the last player running along and held his breath .

Ptfew!

The player was hit in the neck and let out a quiet sigh, but his companions were so excited that they didn't notice him falling .

Lu Li quickly followed them and killed another one in the same way .

In addition to the four, there was now a total of six players that had been killed by him .

When he shot the seventh player, he was slightly off . Instead of silently falling to the ground, he let out a deafening scream which brought his teammates back .

The remaining group members looked at him and couldn't help but stare at each other in dismay .

"There's someone! Someone attacked me!" the seventh player cried in tears .

The others felt numb and began to sweat . They had forgotten that this was a game, and that their companions that had been sent out weren't really dead .

However, the bodies behind them had not disappeared which made it obvious what had happened .

"What do we do? How are we going to catch them?" someone asked .

"How did this happen? The little girl in front was just a bait; the real snake is behind us," the tallest and ugliest one among them reasoned, then asked, "Did you see who attacked you?"

"No, I was running and suddenly, my knee was hit by an arrow . I don't even know where he is now," the wounded player shivered . Standing by the gates of death didn't feel too good .

"Let's go back . After we kill this one, we can chase the other one on horseback," another suggested .

Lu Li didn't run too far; he was lying in a bush, but his face was covered in blood from all the scratches drawn by the thorns .

This was a game, and any pain that was transmitted to the player was just electrical signals . He didn't need to worry about disfiguring his face . Lu Li didn't seem to care much about his facial appearance to begin with anyway .

It was impossible to hunt all together, so the players slowly spread out . Some shot arrows at the bushes, but Lu Li remained calm and waited for his opportunity to come .
