Chapter 27 Forgotten

  After about an hour, Xiao Yu finally completed the task of collecting snake grass, gaining a lot of experience points in addition to two pieces of equipment. Due to lack of money to buy back to town, Xiao Yu had to return by the original route, and thinking of passing through that narrow path again made his scalp tingle. No choice, he could only fight again.

  Back to the narrow path, looking towards the path, five ghostly figures stood in a row, leaving only a narrow gap in the middle. Xiao Yu looked at it and found that this gap was no more than 30 centimeters wide, making his scalp numb, and he didn't know how he had passed through when he came in.

  Quietly waiting for the arrival of the next white fog, Xiao Yu gradually approached that gap.

  The surrounding area was gradually shrouded in a white mist, visibility greatly reduced. The opportunity had arrived, Xiao Yu's figure crouched down, entering stealth mode, and proceeded to sneak into the narrow path.

  The five ghostly figures hadn't moved, their area of activity was quite small, Xiao Yu's body leaned to one side, passing through that gap.

  "Huh..." Xiao Yu was taken aback, earlier when he passed through the five ghostly creatures' bodies, Xiao Yu clearly felt that he had touched one of them. He swept his gaze around and found that all the ghostly creatures' eyes were focused on him. They might find it strange, how did this human suddenly appear here.

  "It's over." Due to the collision, Xiao Yu's stealth disappeared, and he appeared in the line of sight of all the ghostly monsters. At this moment, he had just entered the encirclement of the numerous ghostly monsters, unable to advance or retreat.

  "When a man is down on his luck, even drinking cold water can get stuck in his teeth! Desperate times call for desperate measures." Taking advantage of the ghosts' momentary stunned state, Xiao Yu sprinted along the small path at top speed towards the outside of the gorge, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Xiao Yu successively passed through several ghosts.

  At this time, these ghosts finally reacted and all rushed towards Xiao Yu.

  Watching the ghostly claws come down, Xiao Yu endured a few attacks, his speed undiminished as he continued to charge outward.

  One by one, the damages floated up from his head. If he hadn't just changed equipment and leveled up, Xiao Yu was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

  A ghostly creature pounced towards Xiao Yu, who glanced around at the positions of the other ghostly creatures nearby. With a backward step, he counterattacked with his backhand, and the snake-tooth dagger in his hand struck the ghostly creature's back. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Yu moved to the rear of the ghostly creature, dodging the five ghostly creatures that had surrounded him.

  Xiao Yu didn't dare to stay, pulled his legs and ran, took a look at his own blood volume, still had 37%.

  Xiao Yu exerted all his strength, dodging and weaving to avoid the ghostly creature's attacks. Seeing a ghostly claw swiping down at him, Xiao Yu suddenly pulled in his stomach, and the ghostly claw grazed past his abdomen, leaving behind a lingering chill that he could still feel.

  There are some actions that even Xiao Yu himself cannot imagine how he did them.

  A sharp claw struck fiercely towards Xiao Yu's back.

  Xiao Yu hummed, the powerful impact force made him stumble forward a few steps, dodging to the side and avoiding the ghostly creature that pounced on him. With a whooshing sound, he broke out of the narrow passageway, turned around, and his dagger sliced across the body of a ghostly creature that was chasing after him.

  Speed - 1, the ghostly creature that was chasing after him slowed down slightly, blocking the other ghostly creatures behind it and giving Xiao Yu some time to escape.

  Xiao Yu got away and didn't dare to stay, he ran wildly with all his might. Due to Gao Min's influence, Xiao Yu's running speed was still relatively fast, and in a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

  Ran far away, found that there were no ghosts chasing behind, and finally let out a sigh of relief. Turned back to look, those ghostly creatures chased out for a distance before returning.

  "My life was almost cut short, I nearly died."

  Xiao Yu took a look at his own blood volume, 13%, he could still withstand another attack. Xiao Yu had already prepared himself earlier, if he was attacked again, he would have drunk the low-level instant recovery potion. Fortunately, it was just a little short, and this bottle of instant recovery potion was saved.

  Xiao Yu walked towards the town of Tabak while thinking about the process of this task, which was a unique task for thieves and had a strong professional characteristic. From this task, Xiao Yu gradually understood the essence of the thief profession, which was a profession that walked on the edge of death, often hanging by a thread, determined by the professional characteristics and tasks of the thief.

  As a thief, the first essential quality is calmness. In times of danger, one must absolutely not panic or lose their footing. I still have a lot to work on in this regard, as I've almost blown my cover several times due to tension. Of course, it's also understandable to feel tense in such situations - Xiao Yu isn't from the special forces, after all, and doesn't have that level of mental toughness.

  "You must learn to calm down!" Xiao Yu knew this was important, he still needed time to get used to it.

  According to the thief mentor Ode, the lower the level when completing this task, the more generous the reward will be. Xiao Yu didn't rush to upgrade and headed towards Tabak Town instead.

  In that short and shabby little house, Xiao Yu found the thief master Ode again.

  "Have you finished the task?" Thief Master Ode looked at the 20 stalks of Snake Fennel handed over by Xiao Yu, and asked in surprise.

  "Yes." Xiao Yu responded, at this time, he was even more eager to know what the reward for the task was.

  "You surprise me, up to now there have been seventeen thieves who received this task from me, but they all chose to give up later. Only you have managed to complete the task and come back." The thief mentor Ode said with praise.

  Xiao Yu was eager to know what the reward for the task was, but Thief Master Ode was not in a hurry at all, making Xiao Yu's heart itch.

  "You've completed the first stage of your task, and now you're qualified to take on the next ring's task. The requirements for the next ring's task are stealth skills at level 6 and a level requirement of 15. When the time comes, come to me here, and I'll tell you the content of the task." said Thief Master Ode slowly and calmly.

  Xiao Yu Ka collapsed and said: "This... is there a reward after completing this ring task?"

  Thief Master Ode slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot about this."

  Xiao Yu almost vomited blood, he actually said he forgot, Xiao Yu couldn't help but have an urge to strangle him to death.

  Rushing for votes... almost fell off the chart...
