124: Chapter 115 Deer Man Archer 124: Chapter 115 Deer Man Archer Outside Holy Water Town.

Circling the winding mountain paths, the Undead team tiptoed with extra care to avoid making noise that might alert their keen enemies and finally managed to approach the “bandit camp” once again.

“Over there!” the leading Undead gestured.

After meeting the guide NPC in Harbor Village, the Undead of Holy Water Town had been waiting, but growing impatient at not seeing the Main City NPC and noticing the Demi-humans from Star Dragon Ridge passing through comfortably, they decided they could not wait any longer and launched another attack.

If they didn’t deal with this roadblock, they’d truly be trapped in Newbie Village forever.

This game was different from what they had imagined, probably because it was still in beta; there were many things that defied gaming intuition, and other than Star Dragon Ridge, the other areas seemed to care little for the gaming experience.

Gazing past the scattered rocks, they could see the stationed camp and huts and occasionally a few patrolling soldiers, though they were far apart from each other.

Every patrol route of the soldiers had been determined through repeated life-or-death probing, which included both visible and hidden guards.

“Once we get in there later, first deal with the hidden guard here to stop him from sounding the alarm, and then we’ll sneak in from the back…”

Everything was ready.

The plan of attack had long been prepared; now it was just a matter of reiterating it as a reminder to stay sharp.

The hidden guard seemed not to have noticed their approach.

“Go!” King of the Pachycephalosaurus took the initiative to take down the hidden guard, who in the real world was a street dancer.

In the game, this skill was pretty much useless, but he was at least more useful than other office workers in his team since he could at least perform the moves he wanted, while the others were truly useless in action.

As he inwardly lamented the increase of sub-healthy people, King of the Pachycephalosaurus suddenly reached out and grabbed the guard’s mouth from behind.

Success!

As he prepared to mimic the movies by raising his hand to slash the throat, the guard suddenly arched back, the tremendous force driving the Undead to the ground with him.

The ambush had succeeded, but the enemy wasn’t one that could be taken down with a single execution keystroke.

He had long felt that these people were not ordinary bandits, but as hostile forces were automatically marked with red names by the system, they were identified as[Bandits Lost in Mayhem].

A muffled “thud” sounded as his back hit the ground, causing King of the Pachycephalosaurus to feel a surge of pain.

To immerse himself more fully in the experience, he had set his senses to 70%, which made him more responsive when losing items or in 1-on-1 combat, but the side effect was also apparent now, as the huge force caused him to let go instinctively, and a stifled grunt squeezed out of his nose.

The assault had failed!

The noise instantly drew the attention of the enemy.

“Run!” King of the Pachycephalosaurus shouted at the top of his lungs, aware that his own exposure meant he probably couldn’t escape, but he could yet save his companions.

Levels were precious in Holy Water Town’s Newbie Village, unlike at Star Dragon Ridge.

Losing levels here meant a long grind to earn them back.

Tap, tap, tap — the sound of light footsteps approached; they were swift as if someone were running, but as the sound quickly drew near, crossing the distance in almost an instant, he began to suspect that the person wasn’t running at all but gliding low to the ground.

The guard in front of him had already gotten up, clutching King of the Pachycephalosaurus, with his knee pressing into King of the Pachycephalosaurus’s stomach and his right elbow on his neck, exerting downward pressure.

Pinned down, completely unable to move.

Moreover, this scene of being subdued gave King of the Pachycephalosaurus a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this moment several times in videos uploaded by other players on the official website.

But now there was no time to dwell on that; the suffocating sensation coming back at 70% sensory feedback filled him with fear, and death surrounded him like a rising tide.

He was truly going to die in this game!

With that terrifying thought, his breathing grew more difficult, his body pained, and then the pain faded away.

A dark shadow drew near rapidly, and as consciousness began to blur, King of the Pachycephalosaurus vaguely heard the other’s voice: “These pesky flies are here again, we don’t have much time left.”

Swoosh—!

Suddenly, a bright ice crystal color flashed before his eyes.

The King of the Deer Drinkers only saw that black shadow seem to raise a hand towards him, and then something was released.

[You have obtained the Frozen status]

[You have acquired the Sluggish effect]

[You have sustained Frostbite]

[You have received the Piercing effect]

A series of alerts that popped up brought the King of the Deer Drinkers’ near-death consciousness back to clarity.

He opened his eyes and saw the object that had pierced his forehead.

It was an arrow wrapped in silver-white frost, with its feathers gently fluttering.

Dead!

The figure that had effortlessly taken down the King of the Deer Drinkers didn’t stop there.

His legs moved gracefully, and he leaped through the woods.

In the rugged and uneven terrain where an ordinary person would struggle to walk, he moved as if on flat ground.

The undead players had already heard the King of the Deer Drinkers’ warning and abandoned the ambush at the first opportunity.

Without capturing the leader first, their ambush would have no meaning.

In the entire Holy Water Town, only their squad could muster a full set of decent equipment.

The vast majority of the undead still wielded hoes and pitchforks, and the struggle of over a month of gameplay hadn’t improved those undead players much.

Just to gain the trust of the Holy Water Town NPCs, they had invested half a month’s time.

And up ahead, there was a bandit camp, rumored to have been entrenched in that location for over a year.

“What the fuck?”

The undead who looked back clearly saw a figure leaping through the woods, his tattered armor on, body bounding with the lightness of a deer.

He sprang up and landed with agility.

A quick glance didn’t reveal the details of his appearance, but a key piece of information was captured: a pair of small, delicate antlers atop the other’s forehead.

As the undead turned to look at him, the fleeing figure paused, and then they saw the Deer Man raise his hand.

In his grasp was a small, exquisite Ice Bow emitting a cold aura.

He drew an arrow from the quiver on his back, notched it to the bow, and as the bowstring was pulled back, the undead felt a sense of alarm.

Swoosh—!

A hundred meters distance, one arrow crossed.

The body thudded to the ground and then rolled down the mountainside path’s slope.

This was a massacre, the undead players almost entirely powerless to resist as they were wiped out.

Holy Water Town.

The resurrected King of the Deer Drinkers and others looked at each other, speechless.

“That’s a level twenty-something Demi-human boss,” said the King of the Deer Drinkers.

With their own strength, let alone the lack of equipment, even if they all switched to good gear, dozens of them would likely still be unable to approach the Deer Archer who could turn bow shooting into an automatic rifle.

“I lost experience points, I’m going to find Brittany for some comfort.”

“Wait for me, I’m coming too!”
