Chapter 327: Chapter 33: Let’s Talk

The shadow that jumped out from under the dead barbarian’s body was none other than Lady Nanzhuang.

She and Paperman Zhang had left Volga’s team and set out on their own plans.

As an Assassin Type [Player], she managed to sneak near the camp while the Great Tang forces and barbarians were engaged in battle.

Her plan was simple - to assassinate any one of the four, Li Changhe included, during the chaos and flee immediately afterwards, regardless of the outcome.

The top priority was naturally the high-energy [Player] Cangyue Ming.

Unfortunately, Cangyue Ming was hiding inside the Great Tang soldier’s heavily-guarded military tent, dressed as a white-robed soldier to confuse his enemies.

He was very conscientious, in his own words, "I’m used to it, always being the target during group fights. The Strategy Group has given me plenty of advice. If there’s a latrine here, I’d... uh, I’d rather choose to be stabbed to death."

"Digging into a latrine? No wonder [Great Wall] ranks top three!" Li Changhe had exclaimed at the time.

Though there was no latrine, it made Lady Nanzhuang hesitant to act recklessly.

Only before launching a nuclear bomb does it have deterrent power, and the same principle applies here.

Once Nanzhuang makes a move, the other three would have no qualms about trapping her.

Assassin Type [Players] are the most troublesome and difficult to deal with. As long as she exists, everyone stays vigilant, worrying about a fatal strike from behind.

But if they trap her, then Li Changhe and the others would have a significant advantage.

So, Nanzhuang didn’t take the risk to assassinate Cangyue Ming and shifted her target instead.

Moon God appeared to have the highest attributes, wielding dual blades, easily reaping the lives of the barbarians.

He was very strong, and the chances of an instant kill were low. At most, Nanzhuang could critically wound him but would also get injured herself.

At LV9, Lady Nanzhuang could sense Moon God’s strength. The difficulty is on the higher side. If he were alone, she wouldn’t mind trying once, twice, or thrice. The greatest advantage an Assassin Type [Player] has is the ability to launch sudden strikes, lie in wait, and strike again if the first attempt fails.

Unfortunately, they were on a battlefield now. The enemy’s teammates wouldn’t allow her a chance to hide. If she fails, she would be met with an onslaught and blockades.

So, she gave up on Moon God.

And turned her attention to other [Players].

He Feng’s ’character’ was a portly young man, but his moves showed no hesitation. His spear danced wide and fierce, growing stronger and more ferocious in battle. It was likely due to some passive skills or statuses.

He had moved too far away, and Nanzhuang hesitated for a moment but didn’t pursue him.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Li Changhe.

His movements were accompanied by electric arcs, and he also had a Symbiotic Body. But that was all.

His attributes were not high, but he had some kind of aura-like effect around him that boosted the soldiers’ fighting abilities.

After observing for a while, Nanzhuang believed that killing Li Changhe would be more worthwhile than killing a high-energy player.

If she could successfully kill him,

Great Tang’s forces would be in an even more precarious situation, and they might even be breached by the barbarians without Volga and the others needing to lift a finger. This outcome would result in more [Players] deaths.

Unfortunately, she didn’t make her move in the end.

As an Assassin Type [Player], before becoming a [Player],

She had become an assassin in order to save her sister’s life.

Ever since she killed her so-called foster father, her life had been intertwined with life and death.

Years of living close to death had made her highly sensitive to danger.

Li Changhe had intentionally or unintentionally revealed flaws on several occasions.

During the fight with the Spider Barbarian, he was in midair and could be killed in one strike!

While saving Great Tang’s soldiers, his back was exposed. An opportunity for a fatal strike!

Despite having several chances to strike, Nanzhuang didn’t dare.

It was too dangerous! Li Changhe must have some hidden trump cards!

Nanzhuang had a hunch that if she made a move, she would be the one getting hurt instead.

That’s right, Li Changhe was also waiting for her to make a move.

Ready to hum a tune at any moment, he was waiting for Nanzhuang to act!

At last, the time for unlocking arrived.

All [Players] unlocked their [Title Skills].

At that moment, Lady Nanzhuang’s combat power could be considered as having returned to its peak. Even if Li Changhe had a trump card, she could face him in battle!

In that split second, Li Changhe’s heart raced, ready to counterattack at any moment.

Unfortunately, she gave up once again.

Because, she had keenly sensed a trace of malice, so she jumped out of the pile of corpses without any hesitation and quickly fled.

She made the right decision because He Feng had already hidden among the corpses beside Li Changhe as well.

If she had come out, she would be facing the fierce attacks of two [Players]!

He Feng’s retreat from the battlefield wasn’t due to being frenzied.

Instead, he temporarily escaped the sight of the possible Assassin Type [Player] lurking around him.

He then made use of the [Immovable as a Mountain] effect.

[If your body remains motionless for over three seconds, increase Physique by 1, while also gaining the effect of Aura Concealment B, which is removed once you take action again]

[Note: One, two, three, wooden mannequin]

One step at a time, he hid among the corpses, getting closer to Li Changhe, waiting for Nanzhuang to make a move.

Since the enemy had an Assassin Type [Player] and with Cangyue Ming playing dead and Moon God being fierce, Li Changhe was the only one left to be assassinated.

Therefore, by using Li Changhe as bait, they could lure out Lady Nanzhuang!

The battle of wits between the two factions had already begun.

Unfortunately, the best-laid plans often fall short. Lady Nanzhuang escaped in an instant.

Watching her figure weaving through the barbarians, both He Feng and Li Changhe let out regretful sighs.

They were so close. If she had attacked, this [Task] could have been considered won.
