Seeing Xiao Yu waiting for the desert hunter on his route, Ji Huo and the other two were nervous, wondering if he would be able to pull it off. No doubt, it was a big challenge because the desert hunter could travel extremely fast, giving Xiao Yu little time to carry out his sneak-attack.

Xiao Yu suddenly leaped up when he saw the desert hunter was near him. The dagger in his right hand reached out like a poisonous snake darting out from a cave, with a red flash looking like the hissing tongue of a snake.

Xiao Yu smeared poison on his dagger! It was the poison from the adder’s tongue.

Poison from the adder’s tongue was red in color and looked like bright lipstick.

The cold flash of the dagger looked like a kiss of death an inch away from the desert hunter.

The moment Xiao Yu’s dagger was wielded, the desert hunter had already sensed the danger. He turned his head sideways in an effort to dodge the sneak-attack from Xiao Yu.

The desert hunter responded very swiftly.

“Trying to flee? Not so fast.” The dagger in Xiao Yu’s hand suddenly changed direction and headed toward the back of the desert hunter’s head.

Sneak attack!

Sizzle!!!

The dagger hit the target squarely, and fresh blood gushed out like fireworks.

“I did it!” A hint of excitement showed in Xiao Yu’s eyes.

Evisceration!

The snake-tooth dagger in his right hand sliced a gash on the back of the desert hunter’s head like a sharp claw, with a 95% success rate. Blood poured out from behind the desert hunter. Due to the poison of the adder’s tongue, damage points kept on emerging from the head of the desert hunter.

“Two thousand health points! That’s truly high,” Xiao Yu couldn’t help but comment when he saw the health bar of the desert hunter. It looked like he had been too naïve when he thought he could fight against a level-5 boss all by himself. Judging from the situation, it was indeed an imprudent decision to take on this task.

It was hard to find any information about bosses on the forums. There were some teams who owned low-level information about the bosses, but there was no way they would share it with anybody else. Xiao Yu didn’t have any information about them and thought the level-5 bosses were not that formidable. This encounter had proven that he was terribly wrong.

“I’ll be able to fight against a level-5 boss alone when I’ve leveled up to level 10,” Xiao Yu thought inwardly.

Daggers were moving up and down, and several skills were swiftly used one after the other, causing close to 300 points of damage to the desert hunter. The hostility of the desert hunter was directed at Xiao Yu at the moment, and the remaining four white wolves were also charging at Xiao Yu with a deep growl.

“Kill that white wolf with low health. Support Xiao Yu!” Ji Huo yelled. A fireball flew toward one of the wolves. The fireball exploded on the white wolf with a bang. The stinky burning smell of fur wafted out from the body of the wolf.

Lethal strike!

Feng Li stepped in front of the white wolf to block its path as the big sword in his hand struck down at it. With a whooshing sound, the big sword knocked the white wolf away. The wolf landed heavily on the ground, its legs twitching a few times before it lay motionless.

Another wolf had been killed!

The control of the sneak-attack was over. The desert hunter got rid of Xiao Yu’s control and retreated continuously. He moved quickly and soon distanced himself from Xiao Yu. The desert hunter nocked an arrow with a feather on the bow, and the string of the bow gave off a vibrating noise.

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

Three feathered arrows headed for Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu couldn’t just let the desert hunter escape like this. He ran toward the incoming arrows head-on.

Puff!!! Puff!!! Puff!!!

His left arm was pierced by an arrow, and his left thigh and abdomen were also struck by the arrows. The three arrows broke into pieces with a bang after they hit him.

Damage points popped up over Xiao Yu’s head. As he was being struck by the feathered arrows, several pure and black-colored glows landed on Xiao Yu as well, which were the healing treatments given by Xue Rong.

Seeing his wounds healing, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but remark to himself sentimentally, “It’s indeed wonderful to have a protective motherly nurse.”

“The speed of a thief is not so shabby after all.” Xiao Yu quickly caught up to the desert hunter. To fight effectively against archers and mages, one had to come before them and fight them at a close range. This was a tactic that would eliminate their long-range advantage.

Though the desert hunter could move fast, he couldn’t get away from Xiao Yu, who was determined to pursue him.

The desert hunter took out his short dagger and blocked Xiao Yu’s attacks with it.

Roar!!! Roar!!! Roar!!!

The remaining three white wolves were charging at Xiao Yu from three different sides. One of the white wolves leaped up in the air, hurling itself at Xiao Yu.

As Xiao Yu was concentrating on fighting the desert hunter with all his might, a white wolf suddenly came from nowhere. He was not prepared for this and didn’t have a chance to defend himself. The white wolf bit his left hand and wouldn’t let go of it. All Xiao Yu could do was strike the white wolf with his right hand, trying his best to free himself from it.

Xiao Yu’s movements slowed down tremendously as he was being dragged by the white wolf. The desert hunter took advantage of the opportunity and fled from Xiao Yu.

Charge!

Feng Li charged at the desert hunter in an effort to replace Xiao Yu.

The desert hunter reached his right hand into the quiver behind his back and pulled out an arrow and nocked it on the bow.

Whoosh!!!

The arrow flew out directly.

The tip of the arrow-headed toward Feng Li, emitting a gloomy and dark green glow under the sunlight.

“Damn! It’s poisonous.” Feng Li had no time to dodge the arrow because it was shot from a close range.

Puff!!!

The feathered arrow pierced through Feng Li’s armor on his left chest. The skin on his chest gradually turned green, and he became sluggish, meaning this was speed reduction poison.

Sometimes, speed reduction poison was even worse than lethal poison.

A fireball flew over in a straight line, hitting the white wolf that was gripping Xiao Yu’s left hand with a bang and sparks. With a grunt, the white wolf was hit away and landed heavily on the ground; it died immediately.

A black flash landed on Xiao Yu, meaning Xue Rong’s magic treatment had arrived just in time.

Seeing a white wolf jump in the air and fling itself at him, Xiao Yu turned his body sideways the instant the wolf leaped. He launched the reversed backstabbing skill with his right hand.

The white wolf was in midair when it attacked Xiao Yu. As a result, it was rather difficult for him to use the skill. However, he completely forgot the dire situation he was in at the moment and managed to hit the back of the leaping wolf because he was fully concentrated at the moment.

The snake-tooth dagger in his right hand pierced into the back of the white wolf. The forceful strike shoved the dagger through the shoulder blade of the wolf, sending the white wolf flying.

System: the success rate of reversed backstabbing is 100%, causing 300% skill damage and an armor-breaking effect.

The white wolf flew away five or six meters and landed heavily on the ground. It died with a sorrowful wail, and 385 points of damage emerged from its head.

This full-blooded white wolf was killed in one second!
