After killing dozens of Japanese players in a row, Jiang Hao got bored.
Killing these Japanese players yields no experience points, doesn't increase the damage of the Stun talent, or enhances the effect of the Immortal Heart talent. It's a pure waste of time. Therefore, Jiang Hao turned his attention to the skeleton monsters. Level 30 silver-grade skeleton monsters don't offer much experience, but they can improve both the Stun talent and the Immortal Heart talent.
The Japanese players are even worse than these skeletons.
Jiang Hao's two summoned creatures descended the mountain and headed east. They hadn't gone far when they encountered a large group of players locked in a fierce battle. Just as the "Thief's Code" had said, it was Japanese and Korean players. Jiang Hao ignored their dogfight and continued running eastward.
After running for about 5 kilometers, Jiang Hao finally spotted his group of followers. However, they were currently being attacked by another team of over a hundred people. The original group of nearly forty or fifty had dwindled to only about thirty. Fortunately, their lucky summoned creatures were casting a slowing spell, allowing them to barely hold on amidst the enemy's hail of swords and arrows.
Upon seeing that the opposing players were also Japanese, Jiang Hao was instantly enraged. At his command, two gold-level skeleton monsters charged towards the group of Japanese players like arrows released from a bow.
With Jiang Hao's talent dealing over 3 million damage, even if the two skeleton monsters only inherited 60%, that would still be nearly 2 million true damage. The two summoned creatures were like tigers among sheep, each attack taking down a Japanese player, and in moments, they had killed more than half of them. Sensing the remaining players trying to escape, the Skeleton Tiger King, using its speed advantage, quickly killed those Japanese players who had fled further away. Seeing no hope of escape, the remaining Japanese players lost their will to fight and simply stood there waiting to die.
The dozens of Chinese players who had been ganged up on earlier rushed forward and quickly sent all the remaining Japanese soldiers back to their homeland.
Even halfway up the mountain, the thief, bound by his code of honor, saw countless skeletal monsters swarming at the foot of the mountain. Even knowing they wouldn't harm him, he still felt a chill. Who had ever seen so many skeletal monsters gathered together? If this were a movie, it would cost tens of millions to film such a magnificent scene.
Even thieves have their code of honor. Without stopping, he leaped and bounded into the midst of the monsters.
His talent was quite unique; since entering the game, no monsters would attack him. Even if he stood in front of a monster with a weapon, hacking at it repeatedly, they wouldn't retaliate or dodge. Therefore, in the No. 1 newbie village in Shanghai, he was the fastest leveler. While others were still fighting over level 1 mice, he was already several levels ahead, fighting level 5 or 6 monsters. Relying on the mechanism that killing monsters of higher levels increases the drop rate of equipment, his equipment upgrade speed was consistently the fastest in the newbie village.
The better his equipment, the faster he could kill monsters; the faster he could kill monsters, the better his equipment became. If it weren't for Jiang Hao, he would probably be the one making the server-wide announcements every time.
The thief, with his code of honor, carried a tree branch and walked among the skeleton monsters, carefully observing them. In his experience, the leaders of the monsters were often taller than the others. Therefore, the thief weaved through the monsters, keeping an eye on the taller ones. After a short while, he spotted a somewhat unusual skeleton monster. It appeared taller than the others, but not by much.
Thief Yiyoudao suspected that the true leader of the monsters might not be this one, so he continued towards the central area. He hadn't gone far when, sure enough, he saw more and more monsters of that size. Thief Yiyoudao knew that he would likely soon encounter the real leader. Sure enough, after walking several kilometers and rounding a large rock, Thief Yiyoudao suddenly saw a gigantic skeleton monster sitting ahead.
The detection spell was cast, but nothing was visible. Names, levels, and qualities were all just red question marks.
Even thieves have their code of honor. Looking at the skeletons around him, they all had the same question mark. He was just curious about the level and strength of the skeleton in front of him, and subconsciously cast a detection spell.
After closing the monster's interface, Dao Yiyoudao began to carefully examine it. Although it was sitting, it was taller than Dao Yiyoudao. If it stood up, it would be at least 4 meters tall. Its bones were thick and sturdy, like polished porcelain. Each bone emitted a dark gold light, as if it contained explosive power. Dao Yiyoudao felt it staring at him and was momentarily afraid.
This had never happened before. No monster had ever given him the feeling that it was watching him. Dao Yiyoudao took a few steps back before the feeling disappeared. He tentatively took two steps forward, and the feeling returned. This happened several times before Dao Yiyoudao realized that the skull's head was staring straight ahead, never once looking at him.
He took a few steps boldly in front of the skeleton before letting out a long sigh of relief. Although the feeling of being watched was still there, he was certain he hadn't attracted its attention. True to his principles, he quickly walked a few steps behind it, raised the branch in his hand, and waved it a few times towards Jiang Hao on the hilltop.
Then he saw Jiang Hao also shaking the branch a few times, meaning he had seen it.
So, true to his code of honor, he carried the branch, aimed the end at the gap between the skeleton monster's bones, and with a thrust of his shoulder, plunged the branch directly into the gap. Afraid it wasn't firmly in place, he gripped the branch with both hands and pushed it in forcefully. Then he quickly stepped back a few paces, observing the situation.
A moment later, the skeleton's figure suddenly vanished before his eyes. And the branch that had been hanging in mid-air, now without the skeleton monster's support, fell to the ground, then crashed down completely.
Dao Yiyoudao looked up at the mountaintop and could only vaguely make out Jiang Hao's figure. He couldn't make out what Jiang Hao was doing. After a while, Dao Yiyoudao saw Jiang Hao raise the branch again and start shaking it back and forth.
The back-and-forth rocking means the mission is perfectly accomplished!
Thief, with a sense of justice, was overjoyed and was about to leave to join the Lord of Hell. But then he saw Jiang Hao tilt the branch downwards again, pointing it at the entrance of the canyon, and begin to shake it incessantly.
"Does he want me to go to the entrance of the canyon?"
Even thieves have their code of honor. After a moment of contemplation, he looked up at the hilltop again, but there was no sign of Jiang Hao.
So he hurriedly ran towards the canyon entrance. When Dao Yiyoudao reached the canyon entrance, he saw that there was more than one Jiang Hao standing in the distance. Behind him were the two summoned creatures he had seen before, as well as more than thirty players who had been following Jiang Hao.
"You got the Legion Token?"
"Even thieves have their code of honor," he asked excitedly.
