Chapter 613 - Ninja!
Chapter 613: Ninja!
“Puff!”
Just as Feng Luo turned his muzzle around, an explosion suddenly occurred, and white smoke filled the air several meters in front of him.
Within the white smoke, the black silhouette of a human quickly moved backward.
“Bang!”
Without any hesitation, Feng Luo pulled the trigger and fired a searing hot bullet towards that human figure.
However, the bullet missed because the human figure that the bullet hit was only an illusory dark smoke amid the white smoke.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
After Feng Luo fired the shot, two black flashes accompanied by strong gusts shot out from the white smoke.
If one’s vision were good enough, one would be able to see that the projectiles that flew out were two black metal cross-shaped hidden darts.
“Pa, pa!”
The two darts flew as fast as bullets. Besides, when they flew in the air, they flew at a curve, and at such a fast speed, even Feng Luo was unable to react in time.
“-2345, -2756!”
Two black darts accurately struck both of Feng Luo’s hands, which were holding the Wings of Death. The sharp points of the cross-shaped darts pierced through the defense of the SUV combat uniform and punctured into his arms. The force generated from the attack not only pushed his sniper rifle’s aim off and dealt more than 5,000 Weak Point damage on him, but the attack also caused Feng Luo to feel numb around the hit area. His entire arm lost strength, and he could not even move his fingers.
Behind the gradually dissipating white smoke, there was a slight rustling sound. A human shadow truly covered in black robes charged towards a direction across the group with amazing speed.
“Bang, bang!”
After Feng Luo fired and Jing Kong shouted, two Sniper players who reacted had moved a few steps and charged out of the area engulfed by the white smoke and fired shots at the black shadow.
However, even their marksmanship, that was capable of hitting the pirate sentry’s vital points in one shot at a hundred meters’ distance, missed.
The moment the two players raised their rifles, the masked person clad in black robes had preemptively leaped onto a tree beside him very quickly as if he had eyes on his back. This was also why the shots missed.
Of course, he did not have eyes on his back. Rather, he only had two weapons that looked like samurai swords strapped on his back in an “X” shape.
He was small and short in stature, had an incredible stealth ability, and was using a dart as a weapon… There was no need to doubt who the person was. This was exactly the Ninja that Feng Luo saw earlier through the Scout Beetle.
This Rebel Army ninja was extremely quick and agile. At that moment, the ninja jumped a few times in the trees and returned into the shadows.
In a forest environment like this, a Light Armor Warrior’s Charge skill would not be able to reach the peak speed, and as such, there was no way for them to catch up to the ninja.
“Pa!”
However, that only referred to normal Light Armor Warriors.
The moment the Rebel Army ninja rushed into the shadows, another human shadow followed right behind, the number one expert in Storm City, Sword Ki Long River.
Sword Ki Long River displayed the skill similar to “Qing Gong” that he used when dealing with the Quasi-Boss Giant Serpent on the military ship back then yet again. Both his feet moved him from tree to tree, and his speed was not any slower than the Rebel Army ninja.
“F*ck! Talk about failing miserably in an easy task. The AI of these pirates is higher than I estimated. The four minions earlier were probably specifically set up as cannon fodder. This guy that possesses powerful camouflage and anti-detection skills is their real hidden sentry.” Jing Kong activated his skill as he began to pursue them along with Feng Luo, who had used his mouth to bite off the darts from his wounds that were healing through the Force and had green recovery numbers popping above his head, as well as a few other players.
…
The pursuit did not last very long. After chasing less than 50 meters, they saw an ensuing battle in front of them between the ninja, who had already unsheathed both the swords behind his back and Sword Ki Long River.
“Clang, clang!”
Just like their movement speed, the rate at which the golden alloy sword and the gray ninja sword coated with anti-light paint clashed together was also incredibly high.
By the time Feng Luo and the others caught up, their weapons had collided against each other seven to eight times. Damage numbers continued popping up above their heads.
The thing that surprised Feng Luo was Sword Ki Long River’s combat style in this battle. The force he displayed was very different from when they were fighting the Quasi-Boss monster earlier.
The Legendary Grade alloy sword in his hands was no longer swung around powerfully like how most other warrior professions in War would in pursuit of maximum damage.
Instead, he was expertly wielding his one-handed sword and using it flexibly to block most of the attacks from the dual-wielding ninja.
“It’s not a coincidence that he can maintain his rank as the number one after all.” Feng Luo gave his evaluation in his mind. He raised the Wings of Death with both his arms that had regained their senses.
It was a group operation and not a solo duel in the arena. Naturally, there was no need to talk about the fairness of a duel with an NPC.
“Clang!”
However, the Rebel Army ninja had most certainly seen Feng Luo and the others’ arrival. As such, he swung the ninja blades he held it in his hands violently and pushed Sword Ki Long River and his alloy sword back.
At the same time, his body was once again engulfed by an explosion of white smoke.
“Puff!”
However, a 14.5mm caliber sniper bullet shot through a silencer flew straight at a location amidst the smoke that had not yet dissipated.
“-6030!”
A yellow Weak Point damage number appeared. The Rebel Army ninja, who had already jumped onto a tree branch, leaned forward and directly fell from the tree and into the ground.
“Ta, ta, ta…”
Immediately after that, Jing Kong fired five consecutive shots from his submachine gun and emptied the remaining HP of the ninja that only had around 10,000 HP.
[You’ve killed an Intermediate Ninja (Level 50 Commander). Kill Contribution: 42%. Obtained Experience: 840.]
“It is a ninja.” After seeing the system’s notification popup message, Feng Luo was not too surprised.
After all, the game had Dongsang City that had a Japanese cultural background. A special profession like that of a ninja would not be all that odd.
“Ninja?” On the other hand, Sword Ki Long River read the word aloud in an odd manner.
Since his face was covered in a mask, his expression could not be seen.
For this battle, Sword Ki Long River’s contribution was huge. He single-handedly caught up to and blocked the Level 50 Commander Grade humanoid monster.
While humanoid monsters were powerful in terms of their high AI and ability to use multiple weapons and tools, the number of players present who could draw a Level 50 Commander Grade target was less than five.
“It is a good thing this guy doesn’t have fireworks or other alarm tools on him. Moreover, he also did not get the chance to alarm others just now.” Jing Kong said as he frisked the body of the Rebel Army ninja. “Oh, that’s right. Do any of you need this thing?” After that, he picked up the glowing battle loot that the Rebel Army ninja dropped. It was a tiny bottle containing a dark green liquid.
[Poison Potion (Special)]
