"Dual Wolf King Crystal Cores, no doubt about it, this guy!"
"I didn't expect him to have a Ghost Tree King Crystal Core too. He must have picked it up somewhere. This guy's damn lucky! He's got at least 6,000 gold coins!"
"What should we do? Should we notify Wang Fuyuan?"
"Why notify him? More people means 500 less gold coins for each person. Go get him if you want!"
For a moment, the other two were silent.
Wang Fuyuan, following Lin Ran all the way, also spotted Old Huang and the other two. Seeing them secretly plotting, he hid nearby and eavesdropped. This sentence infuriated him.
"Damn it, Huang San, you're playing this trick on me!"
"Okay, okay! You're unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust!"
Wang Fuyuan had an idea in mind. He acted like a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole waited behind!
Wang Dongfang swiped out another 4,200 gold coins, sighing deeply.
"A true hero emerges young!"
He then patted Lin Ran on the shoulder and whispered, "You've got quite a bit of gold, and with so many people watching, this isn't a good thing. Be careful on your way back!"
Lin Ran had already thought of this, but he still felt a bit more favorable towards his boss, so he nodded.
No one at the exchange dared to move. He was a veteran, and their envy was genuine, but their fear was also genuine!
Even if Lin Ran hadn't killed these beasts, there must be some powerful figure behind them!
Killing two wolf kings in a single day, and a ghost-faced tree king was a ruthless individual. They didn't dare offend him!
But Huang San, the young and inexperienced, began to follow Lin Ran.
"Huh? Why are you back in the forest again? It's already dark. Is this guy planning to continue farming monsters?"
"That's perfect! I was just worried I wouldn't find a suitable location, but now he's just walked right into our path. We can't blame him!"
A fierce gleam crossed Huang San's face.
Lin Ran, ever so cautious, naturally couldn't just return to the wasteland. He teleported to the central teleport point in the Bermuda Forest and circled around once more.
It wasn't a big deal, but he actually spotted a few imps—Huang San and his gang.
As the sky darkened, the forest's visibility decreased significantly. An average person could only see about three meters, and those who had changed their professions could only see slightly further.
In a slightly wider forest, Lin Ran's steps gradually stopped.
It was confirmed that no one was around, so we could attack!
Huang San and his companions shared the same thought!
"Go!"
Before he finished speaking, two dark figures, one tall and one short, like rabbits, surrounded Lin Ran.
"Hand out the gold coins!"
Lin Ran glanced at them. Their faces were bare, revealing nothing. It was definitely not just a robbery, but a conspiracy!
"Just for these gold coins?"
Lin Ran, naturally unafraid of them, asked with narrowed eyes.
As if sensing Lin Ran's impending doom and victory was assured, Huang San remained calm and laughed heartily.
"Since you're about to die, I might as well tell you: your death wasn't unjust. Today, you killed my brother Liu He, and we're here to avenge him. As for the gold coins, they're just interest!"
"Hehe!"
Lin Ran sneered. All those grandiose claims were just for the gold coins, a hypocritical display of righteousness.
"Delay will lead to trouble. Attack!"
Although Huang San wasn't tall, he was incredibly quick-witted. He acted immediately, leaving Lin Ran, not to mention his accomplices, almost unresponsive.
He took the lead, pulling out a dagger from his bosom. With a leap, he leaped behind Lin Ran, the cold dagger gleaming with a chilling light.
"Swish!"
Within three meters, Lin Ran's undead warriors could silently appear anywhere!
As a dark figure emerged, a dagger sparked across the undead's armor.
"Hmm? What's that?" Huang San noticed something strange, but immediately gave up and cautiously distanced himself.
"Quite quick reaction time, an Assassin!" Lin Ran detected it.
[Name: Huang San]
[Occupation: Blademaster]
[Level: 8]
[Strength: 35]
[Agility: 35]
[Spirit: 20]
[Constitution: 20]
[Skills: Unknown]
This guy seemed to be carrying something, and his skills couldn't detect it.
Lin Ran's eyes instantly turned cold.
This guy had extremely high attack power and great speed, far exceeding those of his tier. He was a class exclusive to the Assassin, capable of striking unexpectedly and killing without leaving anyone visible.
However, while his strengths were obvious, his weaknesses were also quite clear: his defense was extremely low. With that much defense, he couldn't even withstand a single blow from an undead warrior.
"What the hell is this thing? My dagger can't even penetrate its defense!"
Huang San was on guard, but when he saw the two men behind him, he nearly exploded with rage!
He had just shouted for action, but these two guys hadn't moved a muscle and were now hiding behind him!
"Assholes, you two knights, you're hiding behind my assassin? Damn you! Attack! Attack!"
Huang San kicked each man.
The two then slowly attacked.
"Old Huang, what are you afraid of? He's only level 7. I can handle him with one hand!"
Lin Ran raised an eyebrow. This sentence sounded so familiar; it seemed like Liu He had said the same thing.
"Come and die!"
The two men snorted coldly, simultaneously drawing their great swords and charging at Lin Ran!
The undead warrior moved, swinging his scythe with incredible speed.
With a swish, he easily blocked the two men's attacks, seemingly doing so with ease.
"Undead! Its stats look so low, how could it possibly block our attacks? Strange, truly strange!"
Huang San frowned, feeling a sense of unease for some reason.
"You two idiots, why don't you show your true abilities? You can't even defeat a level 7 class summon. I was blind to be associated with you."
"Hmph!"
"Watch me!"
The two men, feeling embarrassed after failing to defeat a single one, turned stern, their aura suddenly fierce!
"Whirlwind Slash"
One of them wielded his sword like a whirlwind!
Attack power increased by 50%, speed increased by 50%!
"Charge!"
The other man gripped his sword tightly with both hands, his entire body ablaze with a faint yellow glow, his aura immensely powerful.
Attack power increased by 100%, allowing him to sprint in one direction for a while!
Huang San felt much more at ease. Although these two men could be unreliable at times, the Knight class still offered a sense of security.
"Swish! Swish!"
It's a pity they were too weak!
The undead didn't even need to dodge, allowing the two men's damage to spark off their armor, yet they stood firm like a mountain.
The soul flame within their armor burned, and they twisted their scythes and swung them down with two swift blows!
"Puff!"
One of them instantly lost his health bar and fell to the ground, dead!
"What! So strong!"
Huang San and the other man's faces changed drastically, their hair standing on end!
What a joke! Killing a level 8 knight with two slashes! This is simply not something we can handle!
"Damn! This is going too far! Old Huang, help hold them off!"
The other knight turned his head, and Huang San's body shone with a dark purple light, and he fled backwards at an incredible speed.
I'm kidding! How could he not see that he was looking for trouble!
"Huang San, you uncle!"
"Puff!"
The figure had no chance to resist; the scythe easily pierced his neck.
Lin Ran smiled faintly!
"It's too late to run now!"
Lin Ran had left two undead warriors on guard around him!
Huang San turned to see that Lin Ran hadn't caught up, and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was safe.
But when he looked back, the undead warriors were already swinging their scythes.
"Wait..."
The undead warriors weren't going to listen to his nonsense.
"Puff!" Huang San was dead!
"Oh my God! They're all dead!" Wang Fuyuan, in the distance, fell off the tree in terror.
The undead slowly turned towards Wang Fuyuan.
