Chapter 78 - Found Vanke
After forcefully suppressing the excitement in his heart and the grief and indignation he felt about the tragic battle during the God Clan’s invasion war, Lin Shuang walked up to Lu Wan and said to her in a serious tone, “Lu Wan, team up with me from now on. I’ll help you level up. I hope you can understand this profession and quickly level up under my protection. Your existence will definitely turn the situation around in the future. I hope you take this profession seriously.”
Lu Wan, who was frightened by Lin Shuang’s suddenly serious expression, was stunned for a moment. She did not ask why he was so serious. Instead, she revealed a smile that could illuminate the depths of one’s heart. “Got it, Lin Shuang. I will definitely take this profession seriously and follow behind you to level up as soon as possible.”
After obtaining the answer he wanted, Lin Shuang led the way without saying a word and began to rush towards Vanke.
Fatty and the others looked at Lin Shuang, whose emotions had changed. A strange expression appeared on their faces. They didn’t know why Lin Shuang cared so much about just a gaming profession.
“Fatty, what’s wrong with Lin Shuang? Why do I feel like he has something on his mind?” Qian Shanxue looked at Lin Shuang’s departing figure and asked Fatty, who was most familiar with him, thoughtfully.
Fatty also revealed what he had felt was wrong with Lin Shuang recently. “Lin Shuang wasn’t like this before, but I realized that he seemed to have become much more stable when he started playing Glory.
“Although his appearance is still the same as before, I feel that there’s a secret in his heart that suffocates him. And sometimes when I get up at night, I hear him talking in his sleep, but his voice is too soft for me to hear. So I didn’t pay much attention to it. It seems that he does have some secrets I don’t know.”
Hearing Fatty’s description of Lin Shuang’s recent performance, the doubts in everyone’s hearts intensified. They didn’t know what secret Lin Shuang had in his heart to make him like this. The confused crowd looked at Lin Shuang, who was about to leave their sight, and could only put down the doubts in their hearts for the time being and chase after him.
Under everyone’s powerful strength, level 25 wild monsters were no longer able to pose any obstacles to their progress. In less than half an hour, Lin Shuang and his team had crossed more than half of the Forest of Arcane and arrived near the address the Spirit Tree of Life had told them.
When Lin Shuang and his team arrived at the location, they quickly saw Vanke surrounded by hundreds of Dark Hounds and a Dark Hound King.
Looking at the huge group of Dark Hounds, Lin Shuang and his team were secretly shocked. However, for the sake of the mission target, no matter how difficult it was, they had to save Vanke.
Looking at Vanke, who was staying in the magic shield and casting various spells to counterattack the Dark Hounds from time to time, Lin Shuang instructed the people behind him.
“Qian Shanxue, you and Chu Feng attack first. Use whatever area-of-effect attacks you have. Stop after releasing all your mana.
“Then Fatty, you and I will rush out and launch a surprise attack after they have finished bombarding. Leave the Dark Hound King to me. You go destroy the other Dark Hounds.
“Lu Wan, after you finish healing Qian Shanxue and Chu Feng, you will use the Frost Wing to fly to the sky together with them. The two of them will continue to attack from afar. You’re in charge of supporting us. Do you understand?”
After Lin Shuang finished speaking, Fatty and the other three nodded to show that they understood. Seeing that everyone understood the plan, Lin Shuang led Fatty and began to sneak in the direction of the Dark Hounds.
After the two of them left, Qian Shanxue and Chu Feng immediately began to use all kinds of large-scale attacks to bombard the Dark Hounds. Although the Dark Hounds reacted quickly, they could not dodge all kinds of large-scale skills.
Other than the fact that Qian Shanxue and Chu Feng had not adjusted their angle properly for the first time and were dodged by the Dark Hounds, most of the subsequent attacks landed in the center of the Dark Hounds, causing considerable damage.
The two of them joined forces and bombarded for three minutes before stopping because their mana was depleted. The moment their long-range attacks stopped, but before the Dark Hounds could react, Lin Shuang and Fatty quickly rushed out of their hiding places. All kinds of skills were thrown at the Dark Hounds as if they were free. Before the Dark Hounds could wake up from the long-range bombardment, more than a dozen of them were killed.
Then, the two of them split into two groups according to the plan and began to eliminate their respective targets.
[Dark Hound King (Orange Boss)]
[Level: 26]
[Health: 300,000]
[Attack: 2,000]
[Agility: 5,000]
[Defense: 1,000]
[Skills: Dark Flame Bullet, Flaming Rain, Fierce Fire Poison, Lava Claw]
[Introduction: After the King of the Magic Hound Clan fell into the darkness, he obtained an extremely high movement speed. All attacks will be imbued with the unique Fierce Fire Poison from the Dark World, but its defense is extremely weak.]
Looking at the Dark Hound King’s introduction, Lin Shuang’s expression became much more solemn. After all, agility as high as 5,000 was a little shocking, but its defense was so weak that there was room for maneuver.
Then, Lin Shuang used the Assassin Movement Technique he had mastered before his rebirth and began his unique Assassin Warrior style of fighting.
The Dark Hound King looked at the little guy in front of it. He actually dared to provoke it. His already irritable personality was ignited on the spot. Then, it suddenly exerted strength in its limbs. After leaving four half-meter deep footprints on the spot, it began a battle of movement techniques and speed with Lin Shuang.
In a few jumps, Lin Shuang led the way to attack the Dark Hound King with afterimages. As their figures intersected, the two exchanged dozens of blows at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
After Lin Shuang and the Dark Hound King separated and each took one side, the results of their first probe were out.
On the huge body of the Black Hound King were several bone-deep wounds slashed by Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang had also left a sword mark on its face and crippled one of its eyes.
Lin Shuang, on the other hand, was not too injured due to the Dominator’s Heavy Armor. Although he had been struck several times by the Dark Hound King and was infected with his Fierce Fire Poison, under the protection of Dominator’s Heavy Armor and a bottle of Negativity Dispel Potion, it allowed Lin Shuang to return to his optimal state.
Looking at the angry Dark Hound King, who kept roaring and digging the ground with its front claws, Lin Shuang laughed disdainfully. He shook off the blood on his body and made an international friendly gesture to him.
The Dark Hound King, provoked by Lin Shuang’s disdainful attitude, instantly went berserk. It roared and charged at him at a speed even faster than before. However, Lin Shuang still didn’t think much of it. Knowing the limit of the Dark Hound King’s speed, he already had a way to deal with him and wasn’t afraid at all.
With the assassin’s strange movement technique, he began to fight the Dark Hound King head-on.
