It's normal for me to be a bit stronger than others when I can instantly kill monsters with ful

Could it be that they're after me?

Looking at the entire map, Wei Ning realized that the most valuable target on the map was himself.

Moreover, judging from the directions on the map, the routes taken by the two assassins were also quite coincidental.

It just so happens that his background is similar to Wei Ning's.

Head north from the Golden Grassland, cross the stream and then east, passing through the Scarecrow Farm, White Stone Beach, and Wind Sound Canyon, before finally heading northeast to find the wilderness.

There were so many places to explore around them, so why did these two just happen to follow Wei Ning's route?

This is the road I explored with the entire map.

Do you guys also have cheat codes?

What's even more infuriating is that the two of them were riding their mounts and didn't explore the route at all, as if they were using a GPS navigation system.

On the large map, two assassins riding goat mounts approached the edge of the wasteland, gradually closing in on Wei Ning's location.

The two sides will meet in less than two kilometers.

How can this be allowed?

Wei Ning picked up the [Lv9. Holy Infant Tendon] and immediately unleashed a [Curse Touch].

"Avada Kedavra, eating a giant melon!"

Panel display:

[Lv.19 Zhang Heiniu] resisted [Curse Touch].

The attack [Curse Touch] on [Lv.19 Zhang Heiniu] missed.

……

Wei Ning continued to channel his skills, but due to the significant difference between level 15 and level 19, coupled with the fact that assassins are typically equipped with magic resistance gear.

The spellcasting channeling, which lasted for several seconds, was consistently met with resistance and misses.

After about ten seconds, the effect finally appeared:

The [Cursed Touch] skill deals 1410 curse damage to [Lv.19 Zhang Heiniu].

Gain 800 points of Spell Shield

The [Cursed Touch] skill deals 1455 curse damage to [Lv.19 Zhang Heiniu].

Gain 811 points of Spell Shield

……

After three consecutive hits, Zhang Heiniu's health bar dropped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was reduced to one-third.

On the large map, Zhang Heiniu fell off his mount and crashed to the ground.

Zhou Bai Niu quickly reined in his horse and jumped down to check the situation.

The two finally stopped.

Wei Ning was satisfied and raised his hand to unleash a barrage of attacks on Zhou Bai Niu.

No one comes for nothing; everyone gets a share.

"Old Black!"

Zhou Bai Niu jumped off his mount.

"what!"

Zhang Heiniu rolled over, his face contorted in pain, and purple smoke billowed from his mouth.

"Trap! Cough cough cough."

"Quickly, use the health potion!"

In fact, Zhang Heiniu had no idea what had happened.

There are no prompts or messages on the panel.

It is neither a trap, an event, nor divine punishment.

The message bar is empty.

The only thing that kept decreasing was the health bar.

His body was even stunned by the continuous high damage.

It took two seconds of struggling and rolling to calm down.

What exactly is causing him to lose blood?

The surrounding scenery was bleak, with only thin, withered trees and not even a stone to hide in.

Moreover, this is a level 9 area, and Lv.19 is the highest level that can be entered.

What kind of profession could allow him, the tracker, to remain completely unaware? And to deal damage without providing any information?

Unheard of.

Even the chosen ones have never heard of such a thing.

"come out!"

Zhang Heiniu drank the blood from the bottle, which relieved his stiffness. He smashed the bottle and shouted at everyone around him.

He was on edge, scanning the bare trees, trying to catch any subtle changes.

However, no.

There was nothing there.

Only a gentle breeze,

And the approach of death.

call--

call--

Ah!

Another chunk of health was lost, causing the target to stagger.

Zhang Heiniu fell to the ground in pain, panicked and terrified.

His health is down to 40%.

He drank the health potion again and activated the [Afterimage] skill.

It greatly increases his chances of dodging within 10 seconds.

He also has [Invisibility] and [Sprint], so he can at least survive until the next survival cycle.

Zhang Heiniu took out a [Intermediate Life Potion] and [Beef Balls].

They retreated while eating and drinking heartily.

He discovered that although he was losing health, he was not considered to be in combat.

Consumable items can generally be used without a cooldown.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

But not many.

Because he had limited supplies and little balance in his world account.

"Old Bai! Give me a few health potions!"

Zhang Heiniu shouted, but Zhou Bainiu did not respond.

Looking back, Zhang Heiniu discovered that Zhou Bainiu had also fallen victim to the trick.

Zhou Bai Niu's health bar dropped by half, and he had already activated [Shadow Step], the Shadow Assassin's primary survival skill.

Maintain a very high dodge rate for 8 seconds while gradually entering stealth mode.

As Zhou Bai Niu left behind a cloud of gray mist, his body gradually became translucent.

It is clearly entering stealth mode.

However, Zhang Heiniu clearly saw that Zhou Bainiu's health bar was dropping once again.

Not only was he stunned, but his stealth state was also broken.

Even if you become invisible, you can't hide?

Zhang Heiniu broke out in a cold sweat.

He can no longer retain his skills.

"Old Black, I'm out of health potions!"

Zhou Bai Niu cried for help.

However, Zhang Heiniu vanished and sprinted away without looking back.

"I'll get away first and find someone to rescue you."

[Invisibility] Two seconds of forced invincibility.

[Sprint] Increases movement speed by 100% for 20 seconds.

Zhang Heiniu moved with incredible speed, as if flying at low altitude.

In the blink of an eye, they had run out of the edge of the wilderness.

He ran wildly across the Scarecrow Farm.

On the teammates' screen, teammate Zhou Bai Niu's health bar is empty.

A level 19 Shadow Assassin died inexplicably on a level 9 map.

They didn't even know who launched the attack.

Zhang Heiniu's sprint time ended, and he quickly switched to his mount, the gray goat.

They continued their escape.

He wanted to escape back to the entrance, where the Lin family's troops were.

Perhaps he could take advantage of this and send the Lin family's team to scout out the situation.

This trip was too miserable; he was unwilling to leave like this.

Deep in the wilderness.

Wei Ning lay on the [malicious dumpling], shaking his head and moving his shoulders and neck.

Those two assassins were indeed tough; they had level 19 magic resistance equipment that allowed them to resist all his skills.

He could only keep casting spells and try to win by sheer quantity.

Left hand: [Mirror-Breaking Arrow] + [Curse Touch]; Right hand: [Suffocating Grip] + various curses.

They kept casting spells with their arms, just like they were doing dumbbell exercises.

In the end, he trained until his trapezius muscles were extremely sore.

That's how they killed one of them.

The other man mounted his horse and fled into the distance.

Wei Ning didn't rush to pursue and kill them, but instead organized the information on the panel first.

Just as [Lv.19 Zhou Bai Niu] collapsed, Wei Ning's Awakener panel displayed several messages in succession:

Killing [Lv.19 Zhou Bai Niu] grants 5200 experience points.

Obtained [Lv.19 Loot Pack - Excellent]

Obtain the [Pickpocketing Skill Book - Player]

Obtain the [Storage Box - Zhou Bai Niu]

Obtain [Black Heart - Material - Rare]

……

This is completely contrary to common sense.

In school classrooms and textbooks, killing players usually does not yield experience points or loot.

Rumor has it that under certain circumstances, killing players may yield certain materials.

However, obtaining loot packs, equipment, or even a complete storage box after killing Zhou Bai Niu is truly unheard of.

Wei Ning tried opening the [Storage Box - Zhou Bai Niu] in the inventory, and a new inventory interface actually popped up next to the inventory.

The contents of the chest displayed in the new interface look exactly like another player's inventory.

The first few slots are Zhou Bai Niu's equipment, then the quick consumables for his belt, and behind that are the items in his backpack, including some replacement equipment for special resistances and non-combat consumables such as food and water.

Wei Ning even saw Zhou Bainiu's World Bank balance.

This is a currency that can be used in the world's official online marketplace and auction house.

Wei Ning was able to take the balance and add it to his own balance as if it were an ordinary item.

More than two hundred world coins.

Converted to the currency of the Great Yue Kingdom where Wei Ning resides, that's over 20,000.

Wei Ning's internship contract salary is 1,000 yuan per month, but she probably won't get 500 yuan after taxes.

Killing someone earns more money than working.

Finally, Wei Ning's gaze fell on the skill book.

This is the most unique item among the murder proceeds.

[Pickpocketing - Skill Book - Player].

Wei Ning had never heard of a skill book with the "player" affix.

I've never seen an auction house before, and I've never learned about it in school.

This pickpocketing skill should be an assassin-type skill, which Wei Ning, as a magic-type curse mage, cannot learn.

But at that moment, he had an inexplicable feeling that he really wanted to try it.

Wei Ning pressed the "use" button on the panel.

A yellow light shone on the back of his hand.

Panel prompt:

Learn to pickpocket.

The new "[Thousands of Miles Away - Departure]" has replaced the old "[Thousands of Miles Away]".

Your skills are not limited by distance.

You can learn more skills

("You're getting further and further away from humanity.")
