Chapter 203 Hunting and Reverse HuntingAt the same time, this was also a chance to hunt for prey and accumulate Treasure Points efficiently. This was because the players who went to the Bonus Area were all carrying a large amount of Treasure Points. If Xiaofeng randomly killed a few of them, he would become rich in points immediately. Hence, his gaze was now filled with a strong hostility.
“Spread the word! The Anonymous Killer is out! Ask them to be careful! Avoid that direction!”
Just as Xiaofeng was about to walk out of the Bonus Area, the players inside quickly notified their friends in their districts, informing them where Xiaofeng was headed for, and telling them to be careful.
Before going offline, Xiaofeng, Thor, and the rest already killed a few well-known players in the inner area. Right now, all the big districts knew that there were a few elite players going around the inner area, and killing people to accumulate points. However, they knew that these players were very powerful, and could not be defeated, unless they had more than 10 people on their side.
And as for Xiaofeng, since he concealed his character name, he earned another nickname – Anonymous Killer!
The news spread like wildfire. At this moment, all participating players from the big districts already knew that a bunch of elite players led by Thor, were harvesting Treasure Points near the Bonus Area. Even though they operated on their own, small players would only die when going against them. Hence, when Xiaofeng appeared, it caused a huge commotion immediately. The players who were still in the Bonus Area, quickly notified their players.
Because he went offline to take his meal, Xiaofeng did not know that they had already caused the situation in the inner area to become like this. Hence, this was why he had yet to kill a single player, after walking around for half an hour.
They were either very far away, or had already started running, even before meeting Xiaofeng. This made Xiaofeng helpless. There were only big groups for him to defeat. and they were all more than hundred-people strong. There was no way he could make a move.
He was not like Thor, who had AOE skills, and could use flashback to escape.
Xiaofeng could only fight up close. However, they were dozens of expert players, not just some rookies.
Based on Xiaofeng’s attributes, even with Protective Blessings, his DEF was already very low. However, there was no shortage of expert players among those who participated in the event. There were more than enough of them who could break Xiaofeng’s defense. When they launched all their skills, you would be fine if you managed to dodge it, but otherwise, even Xiaofeng might get injured badly.
Besides, since they were all expert players, it was not rare for them to turn on their auto mode to predict incoming attacks. It was especially difficult to dodge, when being attacked by a group of people.
Otherwise, Xiaofeng would not have witnessed the young man from the Bleak guild being chased frantically. All top-notch players from the big districts were all gathered here on Treasure Island. There was really no lack of expert players.
“Hey!”
Xiaofeng suddenly laughed excitedly. After wandering around for half an hour, he finally caught a fish.
At this current moment, Xiaofeng was on a path in the forest. He seemed to be alone, and he was walking normally. However, with a side glance, he stared at the bushes by the path.
There was a player hiding there!
The bush swayed slightly. But from where Xiaofeng was staring intently, two chunks were sinking in. The player was stepping on it. The airflow around that area was very chaotic, and the bush was swaying irregularly.
This meant that there was a hidden player there. He must be an assassin, and was hiding there!
Whether he was waiting to launch a sneak attack on Xiaofeng or trying to sneak into the Bonus Area, he had been discovered by Xiaofeng. There was no escape.
This assassin player was apparently very patient. He had slowly waited for Xiaofeng to get nearer, and he made no movements at all. This meant that either he was an extremely seasoned hunter, or he was too afraid to move.
“Hey, where are you now?”
But just in case, Xiaofeng sent her a message first. He was worried that if Si Yejing was pranking him, it would be a joke, if it turned into a misunderstanding.
Xiaofeng would definitely kill with just one shot, and not use his revival skill on her.
“Killing Treasure Box Monster with my cousin and the rest. Why?”
Si Yejing replied quickly in a confused tone. She even muttered to herself why this asshole would take the initiative to contact her.
“Nothing.”
Since it was not Si Yejing, then it was not a big problem. Other than her, he did not know any other assassin players.
On the surface, Xiaofeng did not realize that the assassin player was secretly moving forward in front of him. He was inching nearer, through the bushes.
“Hammer of Judgment!”
Just as Xiaofeng was about to walk past the assassin player, the Giant Golden Hammer jumped out of nowhere!
In order not to alarm the assassin player, Xiaofeng did not give himself any BUFF. Besides, he was not sure if this person was ambushing him. Hence, he brought out the most intense DPS skill immediately. He aimed to hit the bull’s eye!
“-280!”
However, it was very obvious that this person did not hide here to wait for Xiaofeng deliberately. He was just a player who wanted to make use of this skill to enter the Bonus Area secretly. He was not given a second to react, and was helplessly killed by Xiaofeng just like that.
“Ding! You’ve hit player Ali Gaga from Southeast Asia District, and attained the opposite party’s 97863 Treasure Points!”
Xiaofeng was elated when he heard the system’s notification sound. This assassin was actually carrying such a humongous amount of points! He must have killed many people using this skill!
Immediately, the Treasure Points in Xiaofeng’s backpack soared up to 280,000! Indeed, killing was the fastest way.
Xiaofeng was feeling very satisfied with himself. He did not give a damn about the string of curse words Ali Gaga was blurting out from the ground. He continued to walk forward, embarking on his hunting mission.
At the same time, he opened the Treasure Island Raid Leaderboard to take a look. He wondered what changes there were.
Treasure Island Raid Leaderboard
First place: 493,541 points – Michael – British District
Second place: 450,324 points – Thor – North American District
Third place: 383667 points – Ximen Chuixue – Huaxia Zone
Fourth place: 339501 points – Senbon Zakura – Toyo Zone
Fifth place: 317,710 points – Soraba – Russian District
Sixth place: 303,369 points – xxx – North American District
Seventh place: 293094 points – Emperor Dao – Toyo Zone
Eighth place: 280081 points – xxx – Huaxia Zone
Ninth place: 270443 points – xxx – Huaxia Zone
Tenth place: 25033 points – Ed Roth – North European District
It was obvious that there had been a big change in the ranking, while he went offline.
Firstly, this British District player called Michael had replaced Thor to gain the first spot.
This caused Xiaofeng to be mindful of this Michael. Not only was Thor a killer who was extremely efficient in his killing, but he was also very harsh in his attacks. He even killed players from the same district. Now that he had been surpassed by Michael, this meant that he must not be simple.
Of course, it could also be that Thor had gone to the Bonus Area once again, and used his Treasure Points to take part in the lucky draw, which caused him to be ranked second. But no matter what, this Michael had an unquestionable capability.
Ximen Chuixue was ranked third. It was not the first time that Xiaofeng had heard of this Blademaster from the Huaxia Zone. However, he did not know what his capabilities were like. Now, it seemed like he was one of the rare expert players.
There were no changes to the last few places, but Xiaofeng had come in eighth place with his 280,000 points. This was a high achievement for him, since he was not as efficient in killing when compared to other people.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Xiaofeng paused. He saw a player standing in front of him. It was a slim and tall man, wearing a mask. He carried a knife in his hand, and his character name was above his head.
Emperor Dao from the Toyo Zone!
Xiaofeng turned to leave, just like before. Earlier this morning, the bunch of expert players had already met each other a few times, but they all chose to avoid each other as if it had already been planned. Each of them accumulated their own Treasure Points, and were at peace with each other. Xiaofeng did the same this time around.
But just as Xiaofeng was turning around, his gaze became intense. Behind him, a small figure covered in all black, emerged stealthily. The person resembled Si Yejing, and there was a character name.
It was Senbon Zakura from the Toyo Zone!
Xiaofeng stopped in his tracks. Judging by how he was being sandwiched between two elite players from the Toyo Zone, he did not think it was a coincidence.
“I’ve been keeping my eyes on you for a while now. You have never used your points. You probably have more than 100,000 by now.”
Emperor Dao started speaking. His voice was hoarse, and he strode slowly toward Xiaofeng, while carrying his big knife.
“Oh? You’re thinking of targeting me?”
Xiaofeng smiled. This was interesting. He had already felt that the number of players in the inner area was decreasing. It seemed like it was the result of their hunting.
In that case, were the remaining ‘hunters’ going to start killing each other? Each hunter was carrying an enormous amount of Treasure Points.
However, Xiaofeng did not expect himself to be the first target. It seemed like he looked like an easy target?
“One person may require some effort to defeat you. But with two people…hmph!”
Emperor Dao laughed coldly. Although he did not state it explicitly, his intention was already very clear. Obviously, the two of them had come for Xiaofeng.
“Come on, stop wasting time talking.”
Xiaofeng waved his therapeutic scepter and enabled all four BUFFs for himself. He then put on the Golden Bull Totem which he had not used for a long time. Xiaofeng did not dare to take any chances when fighting two elite players.
At the same time, Xiaofeng was smiling, and there was also excitement in his eyes. This was because when Emperor Dao and Senbon Zakura treated him as prey, they were unaware that they had also become his prey.
Their Treasure Points were much higher than his, not less!
“Whoosh!”
Emperor Dao did not waste any more time. He was slim and tall. He was also one that did not like to talk. When facing Xiaofeng’s swift attack, he quickly reacted, and got near him suddenly.
At the same time, Senbon Zakura disappeared stealthily.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Emperor Dao was very powerful, especially after he got near a priest, being a warrior. His knife flew around Xiaofeng, and shrouded him immediately.
Two-strikes combo, ordinary attack, horizontal attack, strenuous strike, ordinary attack…
The series of attacks coming towards Xiaofeng were so fast that one felt dizzy watching the knife.
At this moment, Xiaofeng’s figure was floating around, and he wavered among the shadows of the knife. A danger notice for “parry” popped up above his head.
“miss!”
“miss!”
“miss!”
……
“You’re a Huaxia District player! Hmph! There is only one expert priest player in Huaxia District! So you’re the so-called No.1 of Huaxia District! You’re the one who killed Heiyan Guild that bunch of rubbish!”
After some exchanges, Emperor Dao quickly learned of Xiaofeng’s district from the system prompt. After drawing some connections, he figured out his identity.
