Chapter 23 – I didn't do anything!

"You invited Liu Man to join the team."

"Liu Man has joined your team!"

After she joined the team, Xiao Chen noticed something was off.

Liu Man was poisoned, and it was causing her to lose health continuously.

Moreover, why was her health so high?

"Xiao Chen, right? Quick, there's an assassin."

Hearing this suddenly, Xiao Chen was a bit taken aback.

Why wasn't she saying there was a monster or a boss?

What did she mean, an assassin?

"Damn it, what did you say?"

An assassin, that's a professional.

Is there a professional killing people in a place like this?

"There's danger, run quickly."

Liu Man was clearly not an inexperienced professional; she was dodging monster attacks while healing herself and didn't forget to cast a buff on Xiao Chen.

"Liu Man has cast Battle Intent on you, Attack +1000, Defense +500."

As expected of a Priest over level sixty, the buff was quite significant.

"You received Healing, Health +10000."

It wasn't just one healing spell, but several in succession.

"No, you're about to die, hurry and heal yourself!"

Xiao Chen didn't know what to say; she was still thinking about healing him at this time?

"No, I'm afraid he'll take you out in one hit.

Just now, a level sixty Archer was taken down by him with one strike."

"Don't scare me!"

Xiao Chen couldn't detect the stealthy assassin; if that person sneaked up on him, it would be hard to defend.

"Quick, come back to the city with me!"

As soon as Xiao Chen said this, he felt a sharp pain in his back.

"Damn it!"

That bastard really made a move!

"Health -23500."

Xiao Chen was really scared; his health was almost gone, with only a little over a thousand left.

"+10000."

Xiao Chen had to admit, the healing was indeed necessary, as expected of a level sixty healer.

"One strike took so much health?"

If it weren't for his base attributes being far superior to other Archers, he would have been done for today.

Xiao Chen didn't see the assassin, but his Multishot had automatically activated.

The arrows originally aimed at the small monsters hit the assassin instead.

"Powerful Strike, Critical Hit -23650."

To be honest, Xiao Chen had no experience dealing with enemies like this; he had never fought with other professionals.

"It's over!"

The assassin's attack speed was very fast; the next strike would come soon.

Unexpectedly, a broadcast voice sounded:

"You killed Li Fei, received Star Alliance bounty reward Gold Coins +1000, Guild Contribution Points +100."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen was really shocked.

Did he really kill him just like that?

Liu Man saw the assassin suddenly collapse and stood there in a daze, forgetting what she was doing.

"Hey, you're poisoned, quickly heal yourself!"

About to die, yet still in a daze.

"You, you killed him?"

Xiao Chen innocently replied:

"I didn't do anything, he just fell down."

Xiao Chen started to understand what happened.

At the critical moment, he triggered a Powerful Strike, combined with a Critical Hit, and the Armor-Piercing Arrow's damage bonus, directly taking down a level 62 assassin.

Damn, his luck was really good.

"Are you really only level 55?"

"Luckily, I'm only level 55; this guy probably underestimated me because of my low level.

If he had aimed for my neck with that strike, I would have been done for."

Weak point attacks deal significantly more damage.

Thinking about this, Xiao Chen was still a bit scared.

"Fortunately, assassins are a high burst, low health profession."

Even so, Xiao Chen shouldn't have been able to kill him in one hit.

The guy was already injured, his health was low.

This time, it was really a blessing from above.

Not harmed by monsters in the wild, but almost killed by his own kind.

Killing someone without feeling it, it took Xiao Chen a while to recover.

"How did you guys get involved with this guy?"

"We didn't provoke him; we were just dealing with a normal level 60 boss when he suddenly attacked, taking out our Tank along with the boss."

With the Tank gone, the rest couldn't withstand the boss.

"He not only took out the team's Tank but also took the chance to kill several of my teammates.

His poison dart damage was very high; if it weren't for you, I would have been done for too."

The process was easy to understand, but Xiao Chen really didn't get why this was happening.

Turning the blade on his own kind, it was too hard to comprehend.

If these people died here, probably no one would notice anything unusual.

A team going out and not returning was actually quite normal.

Everyone would think they died at the hands of monsters; who would think they were killed by other professionals?

Maybe many of the disappeared people died this way.

"Liu Man, just pretend this never happened, don't mention it to anyone."

This was definitely not the work of one person; it could be a group.

Xiao Chen knew there were many people on the bounty list.

If someone knew he killed Li Fei, it might bring retaliation.

"Xiao Chen, I don't need to say anything; it's marked on the bounty list."

"Isn't this just drawing hate towards me?"

Normally, those who could kill someone like Li Fei weren't afraid of retaliation.

But Xiao Chen was different; he had low health and liked to hunt monsters alone in the wild, making him the perfect target for revenge.

He really wanted to return the thousand Gold Coins reward.

"Brother Xiao, if I'm not mistaken, he killed for the boss."

"For the boss?"

"Yes, the boss only had one or two percent health left.

He probably didn't expect me to be wearing a full set of silver equipment and wielding a gold-level weapon, with health and defense much higher than other professionals of the same level.

Otherwise, after killing everyone, he would have already cleared the boss."

Having a level 60 boss all to oneself was indeed very tempting.

"Wow, you have a full set of silver gear and a gold weapon.

Saying things like that is a sure way to draw hate!"

"Wait, you said the boss was almost dead?"

Xiao Chen suddenly looked up.

He finally realized: "Quick, follow me."

A heavily injured level 60 boss, Xiao Chen wasn't afraid at all.

That wasn't a monster; it was a moving pool of experience, a pile of shiny Gold Coins.

"Liu Man, without a Tank, can you manage?

Wait for me, I'll heal and shield you."

Xiao Chen didn't hear Liu Man's words at all and dove into the group of monsters.

If there's anything that could make Xiao Chen forget everything, it was probably a boss.

After several consecutive Blinks, Xiao Chen saw an enraged Abyssal Demon Spider roaring in fury.

The Abyssal Demon Spider was two stories tall, very conspicuous.

Its health was already recovering, and in a short time, it had recovered to four percent.

A boss with over eight hundred thousand health had only a little over thirty thousand left.

"This is no boss, it's practically a small monster, not even an elite."

From 120 meters away, Xiao Chen started attacking.

While attacking, he occasionally Blinked backward.

A level 60 boss had a much longer attack range, but still not 120 meters.

"-8016"

"-8103"

Before Xiao Chen had fired ten arrows, the massive body of the Abyssal Demon Spider fell.

At this time, Liu Man hadn't even arrived.

Xiao Chen was indeed a bit unscrupulous; the moment the boss fell, he left the team!

"Ding, you killed a level 60 Abyssal Demon Spider, Gold Coins +200, Experience +210000, Contribution +500."

"You obtained a Stellar Dagger."

"You obtained a Stellar Helmet."

"You obtained a Mana Vortex Potion Recipe."

"You obtained an Abyss Crystal Core."

Seeing the string of notifications, Xiao Chen knew he had struck it rich.

Experience all to himself, loot all to himself, it felt great.

Xiao Chen didn't rush to calculate how much these things were worth but first invited Liu Man back to the team.

"Sorry, what I did was a bit unscrupulous.

Consider this as the reward for saving you, okay?

You have gold equipment, so a level 60 boss shouldn't matter that much to you, right?

From now on, we're even."

Xiao Chen thought this was fair.

Clearing things up now would mean fewer disputes later.

"Xiao Chen, what you did was right.

But can my life compare to a boss?"

"Well, maybe not quite."

"You..."

Alright, this was actually Xiao Chen's true thought. At least, in Xiao Chen's heart, it was like this.

"Alright, now that the boss is down and the assassin is dead.

Are you planning to go back now?

If you're not confident, I can escort you back to the low-level monster area."

Xiao Chen now realized he had accidentally wandered into the level 60 monster area.

A single monster with two hundred thousand health was quite a challenge to kill.
