Chapter 61: What is a Thief?

  Racing all the way, according to the map, they soon arrived at the territory of the Dog Head People.

  The dog-headed people are a kind of creature, with the body of a dog and the head of a human. They are not like the legendary creatures with the head of a person and the body of a snake, or the special dragon with the head of a person and the body of a dragon. The dog-headed people are simply disgusting to look at, and they also have a tendency to be violent, which is why humans do not like them. Moreover, this race is known for committing robbery on the roads, so humans, especially merchants, hate them deeply.

  Dog Head Man: Level 10, HP 800/800, Attack 100, Defense 35!

  Dogs-head people are just ordinary monster tribes, but as urban marginal monsters, they will not be weak like novice village monsters. Their attack power is over 100. This thing has a decent attack power, but its defense is sparse and ordinary. The most troublesome thing is that there are many of them, not just one. However, for Chu Rui, these things are just small dishes. Although three to five of them come together, they don't put any pressure on him.

  Charge forward! Chu Rui's sharp dagger directly pierced into the throat of the dog-headed man in front!

  "Strike!"

  "Ding, strike completion 83%! Attack triggers critical hit, hits weak point, deals 687 damage to Dog Head Man!"

  Now Chu Rui's highest attack power has nearly two hundred after the addition, a single strike, everywhere burst damage and weak point damage, almost instantly killing this tragic weak dog head person.

  "Kick!"

  "Ding! Kick completion degree 73%! Attack triggers a critical hit, dealing 287 damage to Dog Head Man!"

  He kicked one foot, and the bloodthirsty dog-headed man was kicked to one side. Then, with his right hand, the dark blue dagger was fiercely stabbed into the chest of another dog-headed man who followed closely.

  "Pick up your chopsticks!"

  "Ding! Bone-picking completion degree 79%! Attack triggers a critical hit, hitting the weak point, dealing 637 damage to Dog Head Man!"

  The dagger was thrust into the dog-headed man's chest, and it really seemed to have hit bone, with the blade stuck inside, scraping against it.

  With a swing of his left hand, the spare dagger in his hand swept across another dog-headed man's throat, completing a clean and beautiful slash!

  He took the last two dog-headed men's attack, Chu Rui stumbled, quickly circled to their back, two daggers, fiercely stabbed into the two dog-headed men's neck.

  "Betrayal!"

  "Ding! Backstab completion rate 87%! Attack triggers critical hit, hits weak point, deals 706 damage to Dog Head Man!"

  Although Chu Rui's dual-wielding proficiency allowed him to attack two dog-headed men at the same time, the "Backstab" skill could only be triggered on one dagger and had only one effect. As a result, the unfortunate kid who was attacked by the Azure Dagger suffered a tragic fate, not only losing nearly half of his health but also falling into a dazed state.

  After a few seconds of confrontation, all five dog-headed men were disabled, and Chu Rui took two hits to test his skills, but the attack power didn't even scratch his skin.

  The shadow flashed, and the five dog-headed men were quickly resolved, each giving Chu Rui 500 experience points. The copper coins that burst out were picked up, and Chu Rui ventured into the interior of the dog-headed people's territory.

  All the way, encountered dozens of waves of dog-headed people, Chu Rui didn't bother to find the leader of the dog-headed people, but took his dog-headed children to practice skills. Originally a master of dagger, after a few rounds, those skills were also proficient, and the completion rate was getting higher and higher, although it did not reach 100%, but it was hovering above 95%!

  Chu Rui is now level 14, with an experience value of up to 250,000 points. Killing a level 10 Dog Head Man doesn't give much experience and has no challenge at all. Although he wants to directly kill the leader of the Dog Head Men and take away his weapon, it's too much of a waste of time. Moreover, he is also very mindful of the two reminders from the Thief Master.

  You're a thief!

  What is a thief? Not an assassin who hides in the dark to give enemies a fatal blow, but also has a different approach. Thieves are not assassins, but they do night market hiding and sneak attacks.

  What impression does a thief give people?

  Base without the paladin's righteousness, timid without the warrior's bravery, lowly without the mage's pride, sordid without the archer's elegance, shameless without the priest's sanctity, isolated without the summoner's companionship.

  Thieves are the epitome of despicability, they are lonely and often walk in darkness. They use poisonous attacks and sneak up on their victims with clubs, their methods are numerous and unparalleled among all professions. However, these underhanded tactics have also led to thieves being ostracized. To put it nicely, they're called thieves, but to be blunt, they're just petty burglars. Thieves may be strong, but they've never been liked by people. Moreover, playing a thief well requires exceptional awareness and experience, which is impossible without them. As a result, the number of thieves is extremely low. Most men choose to become knights, warriors or mages, while women often opt for priests or mages as well. Archers are somewhat popular, but summoners are less so, yet still more popular than thieves. These circumstances are true and can be observed in the novice village where Chu Rui resides.

  What's the situation with the thief mentor?

  Are you a thief?

  The mission is to steal the rifle!

  Is it that kind of situation?

  Chu Rui suddenly stared blankly for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

  Thieves are not asking you to fight to the death, but rather a despicable and shameless way of fighting that will exhaust you to death.

  The task of the thief's mentor is to steal the Dog Head Man's sword, not to kill it. The test of a thief's ability is not how strong he is, but the various methods used to achieve his goal at the lowest cost.

  Thinking of the thief mentor's repeated reminders, Chu Rui couldn't help but take a slight breath. If he followed his usual method, taking down the Dog Head leader and getting its weapon would complete the task indicator, but as a thief, his evaluation would definitely be very low. In that case, let's steal it instead, and learn from this stealth experience. With Chu Rui's hiding experience, let's see if this stealth is effective or not.

  No need to entangle with the dog-headed people, although they are in groups of three or five, but dragging a big stick, the speed is not very fast, wanting to shake them off is a very simple thing.

  All the way to find shelter, slowly towards the dog head people leader's position fumbled past. It has to be said that the gold coin map money is worth it, although a lot of money. Basically, the entire Targa City range, all areas have been figured out, very convenient, not afraid of getting lost at all.

  Perhaps intentionally, the territory of this dog-headed person is very suitable for thieves to come here. It's dark and there are many places to hide. Even without stealth, you can use these terrain features to evade detection. It seems that this is also a test for the thief mentor!
