Chapter 30: Hunter? Or Prey?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Of course, the original damage would definitely not be so high. The first two powered-up shots were because they hit the weak point.

Generally speaking, the Boss would receive additional damage when it was in a weakened or paralyzed state. For example, the Underground Bear King from before seemed to make much more sense, not to mention the pitifully low defense of the Sandworm King.

“If I can have a few more in the future, wouldn’t that be…”

[Congratulations on completing the first kill of the Hidden Boss, the Sandworm King. Would you like to see your personal information?]

Zhang Xuan’s muttering was interrupted by the sudden notification. He decisively chose not to show it.

After the Hidden Boss was killed for the first time, it would be recorded in the Monster Guide. The information of the first kill players would also be recorded, which meant that all players could see your name.

It wasn’t that Zhang Xuan wasn’t willing to share the Boss guide. Players who completed the first kill of the Hidden Boss would receive a large number of rewards.

This could easily lead to the class changer being targeted. One had to know that it was very common to kill and rob in this world. Once, a class changer who was about to advance to the sixth transition was killed in the wilderness because he didn’t keep a low profile.

Therefore, at his current level, it wasn’t a bad thing to hide his personal information.

Outside the sand, a team of class advancement players with an average level of 15 was resting. At this moment, the team leader who was checking the map suddenly exclaimed, “Holy sh*t, when did a Hidden Boss appear in the sand?”

It wasn’t just this party. Soon, this news spread among the class advancement players around the desert. Obviously, no one expected that there would be a Boss in the desert that even the dog was unwilling to go to!

It was not as if no one had explored before. A team of 30 people had once ventured deep into the sand, but in the end, they had found nothing!

One after another, teams and solo players appeared near the edge of the nearby desert area. The desolate area that hadn’t seen anyone for the past few years suddenly became much more active.

“Looks like someone noticed.”

Through the information sent back by the Skeleton Archers, Zhang Xuan learned about the situation on both sides of the desert. There were even people who had already started to form teams to enter the desert.

Zhang Xuan wasn’t worried that there would be class changers coming in in a short period of time. Just the high-attack sandworms alone were enough to make them suffer.

However, he had to open it quickly because the longer he delayed, the more people would be attracted to this place. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

Zhang Xuan had no choice but to temporarily give up on leveling up. Next, under the vision provided by the two Skeleton Archers, Zhang Xuan began to advance along the center of the sand.

It was also just now that Zhang Xuan realized that the Skeleton Archers actually had an excellent field of vision. Ordinary Skeleton Warriors’ vision was probably similar to humans.

However, the vision of the Skeleton Archers was three times that of the Skeleton Warriors!

This ensured that Zhang Xuan wouldn’t expose himself while obtaining information about the border areas on both sides of the desert.

Finally, after walking for more than ten minutes, Zhang Xuan discovered through the Skeleton Archers that there was no change in profession at the right side of the desert!

He decisively changed his direction and approached as fast as he could. However, before he entered the mountain path, he sensed that there were about five stealth units within 50 meters.

Zhang Xuan didn’t stop. The moment he stepped into the mountain path, the surrounding stealth units quickly closed in!

A few seconds later, several Assassin class advancement players appeared behind him!

“Brother, we won’t kill you, but you have to hand over all the Boss rewards. If it’s convenient, I hope you can write down the method to trigger the Hidden Boss.”

The figure of a class changer appeared in front of Zhang Xuan, but his level information wasn’t hidden. It was Luo Tao, a Level 22 second transition professional Ghost Shadow Assassin.

Immediately after, around Zhang Xuan, another six to seven class changers appeared to seal off all his escape routes. All of them were second transition professional Assassins!

At this moment, a few shadow-like patterns appeared under Zhang Xuan’s feet. This was the Ghost Shadow Assassin’s exclusive trap. Once it was triggered, the target’s agility would decrease to 0 for 5 seconds.

However, this kind of trap needed to be set up in advance. The other party was so well-prepared. It seemed that he had been targeted long ago.

“Thank you. You’ve taught me a lesson. The safest place is the most dangerous.”

“You’re welcome. We also promise not to kill you, as long as you do as we say.”

Zhang Xuan scoffed at this. Although his level was low, he wasn’t stupid. There was no pity in the eyes of those assassins.

The reason why they made hypocritical promises was none other than that the Professionals who were killed would only drop some items. If they were unlucky, they might only drop materials.

The next moment, 35 Skeleton Warriors instantly appeared. Luo Tao, who was closest to him, was pierced by two spears before he could react.

The eyes of the other assassins trembled. Where did so many skeletons come from?!

However, they weren’t in the mood to think too much. In the next moment, they all used stealth to escape. Unfortunately, their stealth was nothing in front of Zhang Xuan.

As assassins, their agility was indeed higher than ordinary professions, but it was still far inferior to the Level 11 Skeleton Archers.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the two Skeleton Archers accurately shot a few arrows, a few screams came from both sides of the mountain path. If they were in the forest, it was indeed not easy to kill a second transition Assassin. After all, bows and arrows couldn’t turn.

Unfortunately, they chose a mountainous area with no cover.

In less than a minute, the corpses of the three second transition Assassins were brought back by the Skeleton Warriors who had followed them out. The Skeleton Archers also brought back a survivor from another direction.

The Assassin couldn’t understand why he couldn’t escape from the strange skeleton even though he had already escaped far away and used the terrain to dodge the attack!
