Chapter 1267
“Die!” Bygraves’ health dropped rapidly and he began to feel worried about himself .

Lu Li saw the red glow on Bygraves’ axe and he knew that things were about to go downhill . Unfortunately, his actions weren’t as fast as his thinking; he didn’t react in time and was knocked 200 yards away .
“Don’t…”
Even before Lu Li got to tell others not to tank the boss, Water Fairy was knocked away too . Bygraves charged into the long-ranged team of Ruling Sword and Drizzle Court .
At first, they were either killed in an instant or blown away, which lasted until the red light on the axe disappeared .
By the time Lu Li got back, he had already lost 20-30 people from his 200-manteam . Even a few NPC soldiers died during the process . This sudden change had him crying without tears . This was when he realized that a level 65 boss wasn’t easy to take down . If it wasn’t for the fact that the captain had tried his best to help them mid-way, more of them probably would have died .
With Lu Li retaking over the aggression, Bygraves had no choice but to redirect his targets .
This couldn’t be helped; he was a Boss that really played by the System rules . The best he could do was to knock the players away or use Whirlwind to threaten them . Clearly, the other players weren’t the main force in this battle . Lu Li could easily have people resurrect them or send more players in .
If things were to go smoothly, it was only a matter of time before Bygraves fell .
Lu Li had no choice but to resurrect those dead players . Their speed had dropped with a few dozen less players helping out .
“Boss, look! Someone’s stealing equipment! They’re not our people!”

When Lu Li heard this, he turned around just in time to see a Thief straighten his back as he held onto the equipment that had dropped from someone who had just died .
None of the players that followed Lu Li to take down this Boss were weak, and all their equipment was exquisite . Even if they weren’t all Legendary, they were at least Dark Gold with good Attributes .
These equips were like flowers; it couldn’t be helped that they attracted attention .
There were people in Dawn who focused on picking up items from dead people . Of these, there were those who picked up anything and everything, while there were others who chose more wisely . They were scavengers that appeared in all battles .
They usually had their own sources of information and would know where battles that involved professional players would occur .
Lu Li didn’t know what category this scavenger belonged to, but he had clearly set his eyes on Ruling Sword . Without a second word, Lu Li instantly appeared behind him .
Backstab!
The scavenger shrieked and fell . Not only did he not have the time to loot the item, but he even dropped something himself .
Lu Li passed the item to the Thief head, Scarlet New Moon, who was in charging of clearing the area .
“A scavenger is here; that’s a 5% deduction in guild points this time . If another appears, we’ll keep deducting . Did you film the scene before? Go find out who it is; we’ll hunt him down for half a month . ”

Scarlet New Moon’s expression turned sour . Why was he so unlucky?
Thieves had three jobs in this situation . Firstly, they used their mobility to help attract monsters, and secondly, they were to stay alert and stop other Thieves from stealing equipment or monsters . Lastly, they needed to help people pick up their equipment .
However, it seemed like the task was too hard for them this time .
These were all level 60 Horde soldiers, and as soon as they touched them, they were guaranteed to die . All of them had a lot of trouble doing their job, so it wasn’t impossible for them to let one or two slide through .
“I’ll call some more brothers over . I promise there won’t be another one . I’ll sort out the hunting part as well; it’s probably a professional scavenger by the looks of his equipment and his methods . We’ll definitely be able to get some information on him . ”
Scarlet New Moon was enraged, so there was no way he was going to let this guy off easily .
It was a fearful thing to have a major guild hunt a player down for half a month .
The hunt was usually performed on two ends . There was a public bounty to attract other forces to partake, as well as a bounty in the guild . The reward for this kind of bounty wouldn’t have much of a limit; the profit was kept in the guild anyway .
A while ago, Water Fairy had apparently up a bounty for an internet writer called Rowing Poetry . This silly boy wrote some dirty jokes about Lu Li and Water Fairy and posted them on the internet .
After Water Fairy found out the gaming ID of the writer, she posted a 200-gold reward per kill to the public, and 3 legendary equipment as a reward in the guild . Anyone that killed Rowing Poetry could receive an equip, and he instantly became a joke .

Either way, the Thief that Lu Li killed had no clue what he was about to face .
He was still at a loss at how died so quickly . If he wasn’t wrong, he had died within one hit . As a Thief himself, he also couldn’t ignore the skill that Lu Li used – it was a simple Backstab .
The poor Thief revived in Southshore and kept studying the description of the skill in his own skill bar .
He couldn’t possibly imagine why HP bar of three thousand was wiped away with one hit .
This has to be a bug!
The scavenger walked out of the city miserably, planning to return back to that battleground . If he was to die in an instant again, he would have the evidence to report this bug . If he could find another equip, that would be even better . He originally planned to take three items, but now he had dropped two, and only one Dark Gold was left in his bag . The Attributes was so good that they had him drooling . For the first time, he hated how he wasn’t a Mage .
After he left Southshore, he wanted to summon his mount out of habit . He was too far away from the battlegrounds, so it would be a waste of time to try and Stealth his way through .
Two people came across him and looked at him weirdly .
At any other time, he would have reacted straight away as a Thief . Unfortunately for him, he was still shocked by how he got killed by Lu Li with one hit .
As such, he didn’t react until the skills of the two players had landed on him .
The two players were a Paladin and a Hunter . This meant that they had crowd control, damage, and a counter to Stealth . Without Gale Steps, the scavenger couldn’t run .
“So lucky! As soon as we got the news, we ran into him, and he even dropped a dark gold!” the paladin exclaimed .
“Probably from our brothers in the elite group – we’ll send it back later,” the Hunter said as he calmly pet his pet . He didn’t think that the scavenger would drop something so good . Usually, scavengers died a lot, so they didn’t bother wearing anything valuable .
He just didn’t understand why the scavenger didn’t place this item in the storage first .
“Such a good item! How about we sell it? Even if the players from the guild know about it, they won’t do anything . After all, this is our loot,” the Paladin suggested .
Perhaps to those top-tier players, only Legendary equipment was worth something . However, this Paladin and Hunter were both normal players . At best, they had two Dark Gold equips on them, and not to mention, they would be lower-tiered with average Attributes .
If they were to swap this exquisite Dark Gold item, they could receive five level 50 Dark Gold equips in return .
“That’s true, but do you really want to just be a normal member forever?” the Hunter asked as he stood up from the ground and spat out the grass that he was chewing on .
“My God, no way! You want to join the elites? We’re not high-leveled enough and with our equipment, what elite group can we join? Stop dreaming . ”
“We’re lower leveled than them because we entered the game too late . Our equipment isn’t as good because we can’t find a good team to join, but why can’t we be elites? I’ve already made up my mind – once I graduate high school, I’m flying over to Jiangnan City . Not only am I going to enter the elite group, but I’m also going to join the training camp,” the Hunter declared, his face filled with stubbornness .
“Uhm, how do you know…”
“Isn’t it obvious? Do you not see how many elite groups the other major guilds have? We only have four . I’d say that this year, we’d at least double in number . After our bosses defeat Glory Capital, they’d probably immediately start a training camp, and then I’d be the first group of students . Even just that would be enough for me to brag about…”
