Chapter Thirty-One: Cooperation

  "If only I had learned the Gale Step at level 10." Seeing the five white wolves chasing towards him, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel anxious, it seemed that he would have to go through another life-or-death escape again, his fate was truly miserable.

  Five white wolves were getting closer and closer, if they didn't run now, it would be too late.

  "It's all over." Xiao Yu made up his mind to escape and run, when some voices came from the corner not far from the sand dune where Xiao Yu was hiding.

  "We're almost there, the coordinates are very close now." A woman's voice came through.

  "Be careful, we may encounter him at any time. Sharp, get ready for battle, pay attention to attracting hatred."

  "Relax, don't you trust me? It's just a level 5 BOSS, no need to be so nervous."

  Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment - it was Ji Huo and the others! He hadn't expected to run into them again here; apparently they too had come for this BOSS.

  On the opposite side of the dunes, three figures appeared, and from Xiao Yu's angle, they were directly staring at Jie Huo and the others.

  Ji Huo saw Xiao Yu hiding behind the sand dunes and was clearly stunned for a moment, he didn't understand how Xiao Yu could appear here.

  The five white wolves searching for Xiao Yu stopped their search after finding Jie Huo and the others, letting out low growls towards them.

  Desert hunters also drew their bows, ready for battle at any moment.

  Both sides rely on each other, and a big war breaks out as soon as they touch.

  Xiao Yu's voice rang out, it was a gathering fire.

  "How did you end up here?" Ji Huo asked, somewhat perplexed. Xiao Yu's appearance left Ji Huo baffled - could it be that he was there for the Desert Hunter? But Xiao Yu didn't have any teammates, and surely he wouldn't think of soloing the BOSS?!

  "I came here with the same goal as you, but my strength is not enough. This BOSS, it's yours." Xiao Yu said calmly, knowing that he alone was absolutely unable to deal with the Desert Hunter. The three-man team of Ji Huo had arrived, and Xiao Yu was no longer needed.

  The arrival of the three Ji Huo people happened to relieve him, and it's worth thanking them. After saying that, Xiao Yu prepared to retreat quietly.

  "Wait a minute." Ji Huo hastily called out, he didn't think that Xiao Yu was preparing to come and kill the BOSS. Apparently, Xiao Yu realized that his strength was somewhat insufficient, unable to kill the Desert Hunter. One person dared to take on a level 5 BOSS task, someone without certain strength would absolutely not do such a thing, this made Ji Huo even more eager to befriend Xiao Yu, despite Xiao Yu's unwillingness to form a team.

  "What's wrong?" Xiao Yu's footsteps paused for a moment, and he asked.

  "The Desert Hunter's strength is a bit beyond my imagination. Let's work together to take down the Desert Hunter, and the reward will be distributed according to the system. What do you say?" Ji Huo said, it was just a short-term cooperation, both sides would benefit from it, and Xiao Yu shouldn't refuse such a thing.

  Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Deal." This cooperation didn't have any downsides for Xiao Yu. Since he had come, he couldn't very well leave empty-handed.

  "Fierce, pull hatred." Seeing Xiao Yu's response, Ji Huo passed down the order.

  "Alright." Feng Li chose a more suitable position for the charge.

  Roar!

  A low, muffled roar issued from the sharp mouth, skin began to turn crimson, and every green vein was exposed, filled with explosive power. The low bellow caused the five white wolves to retreat several steps in surprise.

  Charge!

  Wielding the large sword in his hand, he was like a fierce beast, unstoppable. With one slash of his sword, he cut down one of the white wolves and charged towards the hunters in the wilderness.

  Sneak!

  Xiao Yu entered stealth mode and snuck towards the direction of the Desert Hunter, lying in ambush along their escape route.

  Xiao Yu moved stealthily with a smooth and light step, like a nimble dance move, causing Ji Huo to glance sideways. Judging from Xiao Yu's movement speed while moving stealthily, his stealth skill was at least level two.

  Thieves, Holy Knights, and team-based warriors are one of the most difficult professions to master, requiring high demands on both operation and awareness. It takes a lot of time to gradually become proficient in using various professional skills, and only by truly mastering the skills can these professions grow. Few thieves can fully and smoothly use their skills at the beginning.

  Five white wolves saw Fēng Lì wanting to attack their master, all howling and surrounding Fēng Lì. The five white wolves moved extremely fast and were highly coordinated with each other, constantly attacking and biting Fēng Lì, firmly holding him back.

  Desert hunters roamed the outskirts, shooting out one or two arrows from time to time, attacking sharply, and damage floated up from their sharp heads.

  The girl with the profession of black mage called Xue Bu threw a healing spell at Feng Li, and Ji Huo also started to output.

  "First, take down one or two of the white wolves." Seeing that Huo Lian was unable to get close to the Desert Hunters, Jishi hastily adjusted their tactics and said, while running around, the fireballs in his hand shot out one after another, and together with Huo Lian, they attacked one of the white wolves. With a loud crash, that white wolf was knocked flying out.

  The white wolf hung its head low and whimpered, its paws dangling in the air. Seeing one of their own fall, the remaining four white wolves became even more ferocious in their biting of the sharp object.

  "Hurry up and break through, otherwise my healing won't keep up." Xue Gong said anxiously. The four white wolves plus the Desert Hunter's attack damage were too high, and Xue Gong's unit time healing was quite limited. If they couldn't heal back the damage that Feng Li received, Feng Li would likely die.

  The ability to detect hidden White Wolves was attracted by the sharpness, creating some convenience for Xiao Yu's sneak attack on the Desert Hunters.

  "What a good opportunity." Seeing the Desert Hunter move towards him without noticing his existence, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel some secret delight.

  Desert hunters occasionally shot out arrows and ran while moving.

  Xiao Yu quietly stayed in place, holding her breath.

  The desert hunter was getting closer and closer, five paces, three paces... Xiao Yu gripped the dagger in his hand tightly, his heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.

  "Calm down." Xiao Yu reminded himself again, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, his eyes fixed intently on the approaching Desert Hunter.

  Vote for me, vote for me... I have to chant this sentence a thousand times every day... The Buddha said, one must be sincere.
