BXBX NOVEL Chapter 165 New Fight
(From MC's Perspective)
Wilderness,
After killing two boars, I didn't come across any further monsters. Later on, I discovered a safe place to spend the night.
Next morning,
It's the last day of the weekend. I intend to return home fast today after hunting a few monsters. So, like yesterday, my goal would be to explore similar spots like these. I walked down the narrow path after getting ready.
Surprisingly, I came upon an adventure team while walking down. This little team is made up of three men. I have no intention of engaging in conversation with them.
I simply strolled right by them.
The team's leader, on the other hand, is a middle-aged male. When he noticed a single individual walking past him, he lifted his brows. Simultaneously, his comrades looked to him for an order.
But he remained silent. Someone venturing into the wilderness. He is either foolish or tremendously strong, especially when soloing. A sparkle shoots across his eyes.
The individual who walked past him, in his opinion, had a tender face. So he is probably much younger than the three of them. As a result, such a person cannot be stronger than oneself.
His lips form a devious smile. Rather than fighting the monsters, the most common method in the wilderness is to plunder others.
Then he gestured to his teammates, who swiftly understood him. Their reaction shows that this is not their first loot. They did not instantly attack Vincent Carey, as experienced individuals would.
Before they carried out their plan, one of them decided to stalk him. The leader is wary. He does not want the individual to be notified. Who can say? What is he keeping hidden in the storage bracelet?
Three of them chose not to act before confirming the other parties' locations. As a result, one of them proceeded to follow Vincent in secret.
As I walk down, I have the feeling that something is awry. So far, the only thing I've come across is a three-person team.
My eyes have a faint sparkle.
I quickly spun around to see if anyone was following me from behind. But, to my dismay, there was no one there but for an empty small route.
But the sensation I had was no laughing matter. My instincts had never failed me. I then reduced my speed. I walked down the path at a leisurely pace.
But my mind went into overdrive. I decided to make a minor adjustment to my plan. I needed to find some open space to advance and retreat in order to ensure there was no threat around me.
This hilly terrain is unsuitable for battle. You could fall behind the cliff if you take one wrong step. So I made the decision to leave as soon as possible.
Mason Terrell, on the other hand, was the hunter who was following Vincent. Mason Terrell is a knife wizard of Level 1. He looked to be in his forties. He has dark hair and dark eyes. He is approximately 6 feet tall. He has a tanned complexion.
Right now, according to the order of the leader. He'd been looking at the young hunter. Surprisingly, this young hunter is not stopping on his journey.
Both have long since deviated from the main route. Mason was in a pickle. People usually take a break at some point. Then taking advantage of the situation, he will attack the individual and wait for his team members to arrive.
However, if he makes any rash steps right now, the guy may run. Mason does not want to put himself in a precarious position. It only takes time. He can wait patiently until then.
When the person has settled down, he will notify his team mates. The three of them will then devise a plan to start the looting. Since they don't know the other person's background, it's vital for them to leave behind no traces.
It just requires a lot of intelligence, but it's a lot safer than hunting wild monsters.
In the blink of an eye, time passes.
After two hours, I arrived at the broad plain that leads to other little hilly slopes. This small plain only covers a small area. It will come to an end when you reach the foot of the hills.
Later, I'll have to locate a similarly narrow path to the summit of the hill. After accomplishing two goals, a little smile appeared on my lips.
The first to reach the vast plains to confront the enemy. And the second to reach the hilltops in search of more first-order monsters.
I noticed a huge tree from a distance. I'll take a break in its shade. I made my decision and proceeded to the enormous tree.
I suddenly had the same eerie feeling as before. "As expected, something is staring at me," I muttered under my breath.
But I didn't show any reaction on my face. After all, I now have the system, so it'll only be a matter of time before I figure out what's troubling me.
It will either be an undiscovered monster or a bunch of adventurers.
When I got closer to the tree, I realized how massive it was. The canopy and crown of the tree are large enough to shade a small dwelling.
When I realized this, I accelerated my pace.
Mason Terrell, on the other hand, exhaled a sigh of relief. He has been stalking this person for more than three hours. And now he can take a deep breath. Mason has no doubt that the enormous shade tree is where the individual is going to rest
Then he wasted no time in telling his squad via his communication watch. They will take some time to arrive here. So, in order to keep the individual from escaping their hands, he must devise a strategy to assault him. Mason is looking for blind spots when Vincent decides to take a break under the shade of the tree.
He cannot perform long-range attacks, unlike elemental wizards. The only thing he can do is get into the enemy's blind spot and attack him.
Mason went carefully towards the enormous shade tree.
Alternatively, I picked a random rock on which to lie down. The surroundings of the shade tree are very different. The cooling mood created by the shade is enough to calm you down.
Despite the fact that I no longer feel on edge. My mind is much more at ease now. I kept my eyes open even though I was taking a short break.
My gaze was drawn back to the previous route where there was a sudden rustle of leaves. Something seemed to move away from the bushes. I'm not sure if it's a sound created by monsters or hunters.
Without further ado, I told the system, "System, probe the target's details."

A blue status panel appears in front of my eyes seconds later. Then my eyes began to scan the data. "This knife magic brings back unpleasant memories," I muttered as I analyzed the magical power.
When I look at his poor data, my heart slows. It's no surprise they're afraid to fight the monsters. This person can be easily defeated by any top-level first-order monster.
They had no other option but to loot to survive.
My lips curved into a faint smile. My previous concerns were soon dispelled. It's not an unknown monster, but rather a helpless hunter. I'm guessing this guy is one of the three I've met before.
There's no need to speculate about their motivation. They had already mistook me for a softie. It's fortunate that this hunter is a level 1 wizard. It would have been a pain if it was a level 2 wizard.
As I recall the leader, a gleam sparks in my eyes. If it's a level-2 wizard, I need to get rid of this guy before they arrive.
I was aware that the stats of Level 1 and Level 2 wizards were vastly different. A level-1 wizard with 40 stats, for example, is significantly weaker than a level-2 wizard with similar stats.
The second one broke the restriction to advance to the next level. As a result, we can't compare the power level. That's why I had previously avoided the first adventurer team.
If I don't kill the man in front of me, he'll keep stalking me and passing on my information to others.
It's difficult for me to confront a level-2 wizard at my present level. However, it is sufficient to defeat the level 1 wizard in front of me.
In my eyes, a cruel glitter flares as I resolve to act quickly. Then I start looking at the person's position.
