Chapter 256: Won The Prize
A pale face appeared out of thin air in the darkness, no body visible, just that face whooshing past.
Did his eyes play tricks on him? He looked again uncertainly.
Lonely widened his eyes and leaned close to the car window.
This look was alarming; that thing seemed to suddenly turn its head sideways.
“Holy shit! There’s a ghost!” Lonely exclaimed, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Pitch black, a white face floating by the wall, too terrifying.
He had heard how miserable players killed by Doomsday Wraiths were, so he quickly pulled out his Item Cards and weapon.
By the wall, the Lightning Mage King looked left and right, confirmed no one noticed him, turned his head back, and quickly bought 20 bottles of mineral water.
He was clever, specially wearing all black, with the black headgear Stealth buff added, silently passing through the middle of the vehicle.
“What the fuck are you screaming about!” An angry shout came from the Team Channel, “I placed a detection Item, no reaction at all, look at you being such a coward, can’t even watch a vending machine properly?”
“Really, Brother Hai, I really saw it, just a face, suddenly disappearing and suddenly appearing.”
Lonely’s voice trembled; he didn’t dare get out alone to check, afraid that as soon as the car door opened, a ghost face would lunge at him.
Face pounce kill is the Vengeful Spirit’s attack method; touching it causes health loss.
“You better be telling the truth.” The big man called Brother Hai opened the car door, flashlight in hand, and got out.
This period had been frustrating anyway; thinking of doing a big one, last time in zone 002 they wiped out several high combat power teams in three days, really no one dared to openly target the Merchant Caravan.
These days, on the road, whenever they saw good vehicles paired with weak people, they wondered if they were Merchant Caravan members, really annoying.
The Big Shot also said last time someone stepped on them to get level 6 Robber professional achievement, be cautious, don’t provoke that crazy woman, her Bone Chopping Knife is vicious, one slash can split open a person’s brains.
And that Poison Master, the Merchant Caravan survives among high combat power players because they have her medicine resources, prioritize watching her, give position immediately upon encounter.
This time they came after receiving a message that someone in the Service Area bought things from the Monster Merchant.
Brother Hai clicked on the flashlight, his face ashen as he looked at the Crew Cut Man Lonely, “Come on, where’s the ghost?”
“I-I clearly just now…” Lonely stammered, eyes scanning around, suddenly pointing to the 7 o’clock direction in horror, “Right there!”
With his shout, the Lightning Mage King instinctively turned his head and quickly ran into the darkness.
Brother Hai’s face darkened more, gritting his teeth and cursing, “Didn’t you see the shadow on the ground? That was fucking a person.”
By now the figure was gone; the two searched around but found nothing.
“Don’t know which team’s nutjob, painting their face ghost white at night, don’t let me find them.”
Brother Hai laughed in anger too; anyone out ghost hunting would curse seeing a sticker pack lit up by the flashlight.
He hadn’t even made a move yet, and they came to him; he’d been frustrated lately, but it wasn’t that he couldn’t wield a knife.
“Everyone stay alert, don’t know what that sand coin wants.” Brother Hai ordered coldly.
At this moment, the subordinate came to report, “Boss, there’s movement at the exit, a few of them headed onto the road.”
Hearing this, a flicker of doubt crossed Brother Hai’s face; daring to go out at night meant they really got good stuff from the Monster Merchant.
They ran into tough people this time.
“Let’s go, follow from a distance and check it out.”
——
At this time, the road was deathly silent, not even a ghost shadow.
Unable to find monsters, Yu Jiang could only knock some materials in the house to take: faucet, stainless steel basin, all recycled.
In the empty and dark house, only her breathing and knocking sounds.
In the house, the white Vengeful Spirit, Yu Jiang wearing sunglasses Item, it tried to position and pounce, Yu Jiang predicted its prediction, went up with one slash, eliminating it amid the ear-piercing cries.
[Kill ‘Doomsday Wraith’: Crystal Coins +20, Delicious Protein Block +1]
??? Others get scratch cards, but for her it’s Protein Blocks.
Yu Jiang didn’t believe it and continued dismantling the next house; worth coming after all, found two more monsters.
On the 6th kill, she finally got a scratch card!
Yu Jiang, Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy, and Lightning Mage King walked together; Shi Xu went alone to the other side of the road, as the ordinary monster kill mission required him to complete it solo.
Yu Jiang resold him the spray exclusively sold by the Monster Merchant; sprayed on weapons, it works against Vengeful Spirits, but the effect lasts only 4 hours per spray.
So while Yu Jiang scavenged supplies, Shi Xu grinded monsters; while Yu Jiang’s trio scratched scratch cards, Shi Xu still grinded monsters alone.
“Holy shit! Won!” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy said excitedly, “Raccoon Supermarket Dried Goods Gift Package!”
Place the scratch card on the light screen to redeem; Dried Goods Gift Package contains dried kelp, seaweed, dehydrated vegetables, squid, dried shrimp, 10 soup material packs.
And a big jar of medicinal herb astragalus, needed for Qi Replenishing Drink.
These things, even with Crystal Coins, not always buyable; Yu Jiang looked moved at the Raccoon Supermarket logo.
Next second, her gaze sharpened; at the instant the crossbow bolt flew toward her eye socket, she rolled to the side and dodged.
That was a special arrow; low-level Protective Shield Item Card couldn’t block it.
If she hadn’t dodged just now, relying only on Protective Shield Item Card, her eye would be pierced.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy and Lightning Mage King tensed up, immediately pulling out weapons, looking at the person emerging from the darkness.
“Didn’t you come out as four people? Where’s the fifth?” Brother Hai scanned around without seeing anyone, gaze landing on Yu Jiang’s knitted headwear and sunglasses,
“Equipment with attributes! That ghost impersonator sand coin was you? Hand over the equipment, and the supermarket supplies you mentioned.”
Yu Jiang and Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy looked at the Lightning Mage King.
The latter pulled out an abstract headwear, seriously saying to the opponent, “You mean this?”
“…” Brother Hai looked at the three like they were idiots, “Cut the crap! Hand over the things, don’t move, absolutely don’t open the light screen, or else…”
Saying that, he raised the crossbow again, aiming at Yu Jiang’s head.
This arrow had attack speed bonus; even with her Teleportation skill, she might not escape.
With a Critical Hit, even Squishy would die.
Plus they had 5 people, opponents only 3, within range, opponents couldn’t run into the Service Area.
“Sister Jiang, how about…” Lightning Mage King wanted to say, should they message Shi Xu.
“No need, we can fight.” Yu Jiang’s lips curved slightly, looking at the crossbow player, “Robbery, right?”
“If this arrow doesn’t kill me, you’re in for a world of hurt.”
As she spoke, Poison Mist thrown out at the same time, Yu Jiang activated Protective Shield Item Card at top speed, dodging to the side of an Abandoned House—this was the distance and position she calculated.
Crossbow burst attack stronger than bow and arrow, but can only fire one arrow at a time, attack can’t connect.
Yu Jiang heard a crisp cracking sound, Protective Shield shattered, the sharp arrow behind grazing her neck and flying past.
One arrow half health bar, and that’s after she delayed with Poison Mist and dodged fast enough.
This type of weapon counters Squishy with short attack range, but as Yu Jiang said, he only had one chance.
When Lightning Mage King’s lightning smashed down, Brother Hai’s expression was still calm; the clothing he wore was an Item, reducing 70% damage, robbed from an Unlucky player.
This clothing couldn’t be repaired due to loss, he usually couldn’t bear to wear it.
Remote output with defense is how terrifying; this attack was just scratching.
But immediately after, Poison Rain and the long whip with stinger came at him, cracks appearing in his expression.
