“Jeez, have the three of you ever played games? Is there a need to be so scared?”
Bill inadvertently glanced at McRae, who had released the Illumination Spell as he talked to the people behind him.
His words put an embarrassed smile on the other three in the team, except McRae.
Warrior Simon scratched his head in embarrassment and said,
“Isn’t this just the start of the game? I feel that this game is a little different from the ones I used to play. I’m still not very good at it.”
He spoke for everyone with that comment.
Standing beside Simon, Ursor said in a muffled voice,
“Me too, I feel a little uncomfortable.”
Looking at the embarrassed two, Meng Qi, who was standing at the back, didn’t say anything, but nodded in agreement.
“It’s alright, aren’t they just a few cute little Goblins? I’m going to lure the monsters now. Just listen to my commands later. Attack whoever I tell you to. Don’t mess up the attack frequency. Protect the support well.”
You’re in charge of healing, so just use your skills on whoever loses their HP. Surely everything would be fine.
Bill changed his previously disdainful expression and seriously assigned tasks to the team.
“Nice, Captain!”
“Alright, I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.” Simon nodded without any hesitation.
Meng Qi and Ursor also leaned towards each other and made protective gestures.
“I’m going.”
Bill nodded in satisfaction, then released his ability Stealth.
“Three idiots, you’re too easy. No one can even get past the Normal-level Eternal Forest, and you still want to clear Adventurer-level? Dream on! Just be my free cannon fodder like you’re meant to.”
A mist flashed on Bill’s face, and his body quickly became transparent. He disappeared from the spot.
…
Stealth was one of the most basic and legendary skills for Bandits.
An amazing bandit is required to have very outstanding control over the skill Stealth.
Stealth could allow the Thief player to enter a completely transparent invisibility skill, though it still had a physical body.
Footsteps could be heard when walking as well.
Bandits’ Stealth Move could reduce the probability of monsters discovering them.
In Divine Domain, the aggro mechanism of different monsters was based on an aggro number. Once the players entered the monster’s recognition range, the system would produce random numbers periodically.
Once the player’s numbers exceeded the monster’s aggro threshold, he would be discovered by the monster.
The higher the level of the Bandit’s Stealth Move, the higher the aggro threshold of the monster.
If a Bandit had a level 50 advancement, when facing ordinary level 50 monsters, the Bandit would approach from behind. As long as the Bandit didn’t overlap and touch the monster, the monster would never discover the Bandit.
When a team was exploring a dungeon, a successful Bandit could scout the terrain of the dungeon, the distribution of monsters, and so on in advance. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that…
The investigation of Bandits could increase the team’s survival rate by more than 50%!
…
Bill’s Stealth didn’t seem like something a newbie player could do, however. He even knew how to use shadows to enhance the effect of Stealth.
But in McRae’s opinion, Bill’s Stealth was simply full of loopholes. He could barely be considered a newbie high-level player, and was on a completely different level from himself.
In the dark forest, cold wind blew from time to time.
A special feeling appeared in McRae’s heart.
“We’ve been targeted.”
This was the sixth sense of danger that McRae had developed from traveling the world alone in his previous life! He sharply looked towards the shadows in the distance.
It was a Dark Goblin!
These cunning monsters that hid in the dark all day long could not be discovered at all without strong perception.
“Eh?”
McRae looked at Bill, who easily dodged the Dark Goblin with Stealth and continued Stealth, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“The game just launched, and he’s able to do this much. This little thief is a little interesting.”
“However, all of this is useless. Even if they avoid most of the monsters, with their purely physical close-combat class, they won’t be able to kill the Boss Deceiver Gruel, no matter what.”
…
“Our Captain is pretty good, he even went to lure the monsters himself.”
Simon held his short sword and said seriously.
“That’s right, that’s right. The last time I joined another team, they kicked me directly because I didn’t know how to play.”
Ursor’s face was filled with indignation.
“Captain is a good Captain, but this dungeon is too scary. Damn dungeon.”
Meng Qi grumbled and kicked away a vine by the roadside.
“Don’t move!”
McRae suddenly shouted at Meng Qi, but it was too late.
The vines that were kicked were like agile pythons, quickly wrapping around Meng Qi’s feet.
“Help!”
Meng Qi kept letting out sharp screams. His whole body was already hung in mid-air by the vines.
“It’s a vine trap! Prepare for battle!!”
“Trigger the trap, and the goblins will appear soon. Simon, Ursor, stand in front and raise your shields. Meng Qi, cut off the vines immediately!”
McRae commanded calmly, and conveniently cast an Illumination Spell on the back of the big tree that hung Meng Qi.
Upon hearing this, Simon and Ursor didn’t doubt him at all. They held their swords in their left hands and shields in their right, protecting and Meng Qi behind them.
…
“Oh no!”
The aggro range of the two Dark Goblins that he had dodged was already triggered by the trap alarm, and Bill’s Low-Level Stealth was clearly not enough to help him.
The goblins, who had discovered Bill, immediately brandished their fangs and wooden clubs and attacked him.
“You bunch of trash!”
