The Great Thief - Chapter 965

Chapter 965: 965
This time, Lu Li brought with him Scarlet New Moon, Cain's Left Hand, Bai Renyou . This was a total of four Thieves, including himself . Other than them, there was Hachi Chan and I Love Big Boobs, who were both Druids . Along with Haggle, they were going to send Sesame Rice Ball down .


As long as they didn't run into strong opponents, they still had a shot at succeeding .
They followed the lead of Haggle towards Gnomeregan . This city filled with the miracles of technology had long been the main city of Gnomes; its fall was a great loss for the entire race .
"Everyone be careful; it's under here . Try to avoid as many monsters as possible . I'll try to keep a look out for you all," Haggle said as he sadly looked upon his own kind who had turned into lepers because of the radiation . He had some hope deep down that someday, salvation would come for them .
Of course, Lu Li and the others had no reason to object; the only one they needed to look after was Sesame Rice Ball .
The Invisibility Powder made through alchemy provided a certain amount of Stealth . At the very least, it didn't make Sesame Rice Ball stand out too much to the monsters .
Leper Gnomes and Rockjaws were both humanoid units . Leper Gnomes were Gnomes who had lost their rationality after the radiation, while the latter were the failed creation of Titans .
This detail was important because of Sap, a Thief skill .
Sap was a skill that could only be casted on humanoid monsters that were out of combat . The four Thieves paved the way ahead, while avoiding as many monsters as possible . Those that they could not avoid, they would Sap and continue on by .
They soon reached the entrance, which was dark and isolated .


"I've studied this place a few times and I've seen some Blackback Rockjaws return here . We should be able to find their hive based on the directions given by this map . "
It seemed like this wasn't the first time Haggle had come exploring here . He might have even already searched the area by himself before .
"What if we go in and run straight into the big base of the Rockjaws?" I Love Big Boobs was the captain of the Druid team in the guild, and was one of the first to enter the guild when it was first founded . Even though it seemed weak for him to be worried, everyone knew he had a point .
"Don't worry, their basement isn't here," Haggle said calmly, but failed to hide his hateful gaze which revealed his real emotions .
Because of the radiation, the Gnomes couldn't even take back their city, let alone invade the Rockjaws .
Lu Li patted his shoulder and said, "I believe the Gnomes will one day be able to reach their underground kingdom and wipe out their entire existence . Just don't forget to thank us for our help at that time . "
Although the strength of the Gnomes wasn't at its peak, they were still a powerful race . There was no harm in making friends with them .
At the same time, participating in a war between two great forces was an easy way to obtain a bounty of rewards . Major guilds often liked participating in these types of storylines .

Haggle led the way and the others followed him from behind into the cave .
They could feel the obvious slope of the tunnel downwards . The bottom of the cave had been paved by the Rockjaws, so it was flat and easy to pass through .
After around half an hour, the tunnel, which originally could only fit two people, began to expand . Judging from the geography of their surroundings, they were no longer located in an area that had been newly-developed .
It seemed like the Rockjaws had spent a long time preparing for their attack on the surface .
"Be careful . Prepare yourselves for battle at any time . I'll walk at the front; you guys protect the Warlock . Speed up and make sure to not drop off the team," Haggle instructed in a serious tone . They had finally begun to reach the underground world .
There was barely any light in the underground world, and many of the monster down here had already lost their vision .
Instead, they had developed their listening, smell and ability to detect changes in temperature . This easily allowed them to detect any intruders .
Lu Li and the others could navigate their way through glowing algae and minerals . He had a torch with him in his bag, but it was obvious that this wasn't the right time to use it, as it would expose their location .
Fortunately, Haggle was a very experienced Scout . Lu Li and the others just had to follow behind .
"Pssstttt . . . "
A splash of venom shot over onto Sesame Rice Ball . He paused for a bit and quickly started drinking antidotes and health potions .
Lu Li looked towards the source of the venom and saw a giant head coldly staring at Rice Ball . The monster drooled; it wasn't difficult to tell that it was hungry .
"Ice Lizard! Let's all go; quickly finish it!" Haggle shouted and charged on ahead .
Lu Li and the others didn't dare fall behind . Even though Haggle was still following them, they weren't in a party with the NPC . As such, there was no guarantee that Lu Li and the others would get a share of what Haggle killed .
These units that hid in the dark were similar to Thieves, and could only be detected when they attacked .
In Lu Li's previous life, he has heard that there were many Thieves who liked to visit the underground world . This was because the monsters here were capable of teaching them Stealth techniques .
After the Ice Lizard attacked, it found that it was surrounded by a group of Thieves . It had finally sen some food, but it turned out to be a trap .
Hence, it tried to escape even before its health dropped halfway .
"Stop it, these monsters are good at hiding and tracking . They also live together in groups of hundreds and often seek revenge . "
It seemed like Haggle had dealt with these monsters before .
As soon as they heard about the number of these monsters, Lu Li and the others hastened their pace . Having four Thieves, two Druids and a Warlock with a strong NPC on top, it didn't take them long to take down the Ice Lizard . They obtained some materials from it – a Dark Iron Ore and an Ice Flower .
I Love Boobs was skilled in Skinning, and couldn't resist himself from skinning such a rare specimen .
The hide was definitely valuable, especially considering that it came with Attributes . The specialty of this skin was that when it was turned into an equipment, there was a certain chance that the equipment would have bonus Ice Defense or Ice Attack attributes .
"Why are we running into monsters of such a high-level right at the start?" Cain's Left Hand asked in a low voice .
If all the monsters were level 52, didn't that mean that they would be facing a Boss that was at least level 55? A level 55 wild Boss definitely wouldn't be a piece of cake .
