Chapter 41: Encounter Battle

  Run? It's too late! If he runs out of the bushes, Xiao Yu will become the most obvious target of attack and will soon be trampled into a meat pie by the wild cattle. This is probably the most miserable way to die in this century.

  "I hope luck won't be too bad." Xiao Yu quietly stayed in the bush, waiting for the fate that was about to arrive.

  The herd of bison rushed to the front of the thicket and then branched out, running in both directions, without rushing into the thicket. Hundreds and thousands of bison ran through an area about five yards away from me, trampling the ground with a sound like thunderous war drums, deafening my ears and making Xiao Yu's blood boil with excitement, which was quite unbearable.

  Fortunately, the bison herd did not charge into the bushes and they themselves were not trampled into pancakes.

  "Buddha bless." Xiao Yu's heart, which had been suspended in mid-air, finally fell back down.

  A large herd of bison ran past beside the thicket, but thirty or forty of them stopped and surrounded the thicket.

  Xiao Yu was shocked, had he been discovered? Suddenly, he found that the target of these wild oxen was not himself, but these short shrubs. The oxen were gnawing at the green leaves of the shrubs and chewing them up.

  "How could I have forgotten this." Xiao Yu understood why he was able to survive earlier. The wild oxen were herbivores, and the bushes were their foundation for survival, so they naturally wouldn't trample the bushes. Therefore, hiding in the bush thicket was absolutely safe for Xiao Yu.

  There were over thirty wild oxen surrounding the area, and they didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon. They were eating happily, and it was estimated that they wouldn't leave until they had eaten their fill.

  Xiao Yu looked at his stealth time and saw that he had five seconds left. If he didn't run now, he would be caught by these wild bulls.

  Xiao Yu went quietly to a place where the wild cattle were relatively sparse near the woods.

  Shut up!

  Xiao Yu knocked one of the wild oxen unconscious with a blunt instrument, pulled his leg out and ran outside through the gap between the two wild oxen.

  Boom!

  The wild ox beside discovered Xiao Yu, lifted its hind legs and kicked Xiao Yu's back, who was about to escape, and kicked him flying out.

  Xiao Yu was knocked flying out, a damage value of over 50 floating above his head.

  Thanks for the politeness, but I'd better run away myself. This wild ox even escorted me for a while. Xiao Yu stopped on the ground and didn't dare to stay any longer, running towards the distance at the fastest speed.

  The wild oxen found Xiao Yu and then charged towards him with a hot snort.

  Escape!

  Xiao Yu Shi displayed his stealth skill and disappeared into a thicket of dense shrubs.

  The wild oxen searched for Xiao Yu's trail in a flurry, searching for half a day without finding any trace of Xiao Yu, and finally left one after another.

  Xiao Yu appeared from behind a cluster of trees, letting out a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had reacted quickly, or else he would have become the target of attack for these wild oxen.

  After this incident, Xiao Yu became even more cautious about the activity of the nearby wild cattle group, spending over 20 minutes to finally pass through the area where the wild cattle were active and arrived at the foot of the mountain. The ancient tomb was located halfway up the mountain, and Xiao Yu climbed up the slope.

  In the distance, on the edge of a cliff, a small, dilapidated tomb can be faintly seen. Next to the tomb is a narrow entrance to an underground tunnel.

  Xiao Yu climbed upwards, surrounded by towering boulders everywhere. He refreshed some level 9 Giant Mountain Cats along the way and was ambushed several times by these monsters, but they were all resolved by Xiao Yu.

  As he made his way through the pile of rocks, he saw that the graves on the mountain slope were getting closer and closer. When Xiao Yu passed through a gap in the rocks, some voices suddenly came from beside him.

  "It seems we've entered Deya's territory, look, it's all desert ahead."

  "I didn't expect this mountain path would lead to Deya, nor do I know who dug it out. However, there doesn't seem to be any evil alliance player activity around here."

  "You're either stupid or silly, now neither the Evil Alliance nor the Angel Alliance have high levels, so of course there's no one in the 9th level monster zone."

  Xiao Yu heard the voices of these players, and his heart skipped a beat. He carefully hid in the gap between the rocks. These players were not far from Xiao Yu, at most only eight or nine meters away. Due to the rocks blocking their view, they did not discover Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Yu found a suitable position and slowly poked his head out from behind the stone, scanning around.

  "One, two, three. A total of three people, Druid, Mage, and Priest." Xiao Yu Xin was thinking to herself, what should she do to avoid these Angel Alliance players? If these Angel Alliance players continued to be active in the vicinity, it would have a great impact on her. It's highly likely that they would encounter each other, and when players from two large alliances meet, it's definitely a matter of life and death. She was alone, while they had three people, so she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

  Xiao Yu fell silent for a moment. In this world, only the strong could survive. "Sorry, only one of us can live." Xiao Yu hid behind a pile of rocks and carefully followed him.

  The three players were unaware they had been targeted and continued killing giant mountain lions along their way.

  Xiao Yu followed behind the three players, observing them. The strength of these three players was quite good, judging from their attack intensity on the giant mountain cat, they should all be around level six.

  "Three six-level players." Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light, the dagger in his right hand rotated an arc on his palm, "Life or death."

  Xiao Yu wouldn't be foolish enough to charge forward and take them on one against three. Xiao Yu was a thief, and sneak attacks were his strong suit.

  Should I take down the Druid or the Priest first? The Druid has tracking, the Priest has healing. If I take down the Druid first, the Priest will definitely heal him. If I take down the Priest first, I'll definitely be targeted by the Druid, and the Druid also has some healing ability.

  "Let's see." Xiao Yu thought to himself, quietly following behind the three of them. A red flame flashed across the top of a rock and fell into Xiao Yu's eyes. Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "It's a fire spell, good thing it's not an ice or lightning spell." Fire spells were powerful in attack but poor in control, while ice and lightning spells had strong area control abilities. For a thief, these two types of professions were among the most troublesome ones.
