"I was given a task, to kill the Pigman King."
The dwarf confessed truthfully, there was no point in hiding it any longer.
When dealing with someone like Lin Baici, it’s better to be honest.
"You don’t have a task to kill anyone else?"
The dwarf was shocked, Lin Baici was not only a stickler for details but also had such strong deductive skills?
"No need to say more, I understand!"
Lin Baici came to a fork in the road and stopped.
The dwarf’s lack of immediate response was telling enough.
Lin Baici’s words were offhand, but they scared the dwarf half to death.
What do you understand?
You’re not about to chop me down, are you?
The dwarf felt like crying and quickly clarified, "I did receive an assassination task, but it’s to kill a werewolf, and there’s no werewolf in our team."
"Heh, that’s not necessarily true!"
Lin Baici turned around and glanced at the dwarf.
"Leader, all I want is to get out alive!"
After saying this, the dwarf bit his lip and thickened his face to plead, "I want to join your team. I will follow your orders completely, give me a chance, will you?"
Lin Baici didn’t understand.
"Because you’ve never discriminated against me, didn’t send cannon fodder to scout ahead, and you’re generous. Following someone like you, I feel safe!"
To put it plainly, Lin Baici was not selfish or utilitarian enough. In a crisis, he led the charge instead of yelling ’get them for me’!
"Sorry, I’m not interested in building a team!"
Lin Baici refused and turned to walk back.
The dwarf was disheartened. He followed Lin Baici for some distance before realizing something was off: "Eh? We’re going back?"
It hasn’t even been half an hour, has it? Thɪs chapter is updated by n0velfire.net
But soon, based on Lin Baici’s question to him, the dwarf started to figure something out.
There must be someone in this team with a problem.
Could it be the bartender?
No, that’s not right,
The guy did act a bit unusual when killing goblins, but if it were the dwarf encountering such weak creatures, he would also take the opportunity to kill more for potential loot.
In another tunnel, the bartender, watching Xia Hongyao’s figure, finally showed his fangs.
Grabbing a card, the bartender suddenly targeted Xia Hongyao and activated its ability.
Intimidation of the Goblin Slayer!
Because you have killed goblins for years, you have blood on your hands and an aura of natural intimidation. When this skill is activated, you inflict substantial psychological intimidation on goblins and their sub-species, causing them to panic, fear, and become dazed.
Duration: Seven seconds.
Note, the effect is doubled against the Goblin King.
"Seven seconds are enough for me to kill her!"
The bartender charged at Xia Hongyao, his cleaver chopping down fiercely.
I also want to complete this hidden mission and get the reward.
I’m sick of this lousy bartender life. I too want to explore God’s ruins, seal the Taboo things, obtain Meteorite, and become a renowned God Hunter.
Just as the bartender’s cleaver was about to hit Xia Hongyao, High Ponytail swiftly turned around and delivered a kick to his wrist.
The bartender’s wrist flew up, and his cleaver slipped from his grip.
The bartender was horrified. Why can you still move?
What happened to the intimidation?
It wasn’t supposed to go wrong!
Since the bartender had previously used it on the goblins when Lin Bai and the others weren’t paying attention, and it worked very well, this was why he wanted to kill the Goblin King.
There’s an ace up our sleeve.
Xia Hongyao didn’t use her dagger and went in close with a punch.
Even though Little Linzi said no matter alive or dead, Xia Hongyao wanted to capture her target alive; she wanted to know why the bartender would attack her!
After all, Xia Hongyao often visited the Dragon and Beauty Bar to see the owner, so she was quite familiar with this bartender.
actually made a move on her?
The bartender knew Xia Hongyao’s strength, didn’t dare to fight back, and upon seeing his sneak attack fail, he immediately thought to run away, but he still underestimated Xia Hongyao’s combat prowess.
Three minutes later, Xia Hongyao dragged the bartender back, his limbs broken.
Lin Baici returned to the rendezvous point and saw the old man and Nangong Shu were there too; his eyebrows immediately raised.
"The boss lady said she’s coming back!"
The old man immediately explained upon seeing Lin Baici look his way.
After speaking, he felt somewhat regretful.
Why did I feel the need to explain?
I’m not afraid of him!
Although he thought this, the old man knew deep down, he was wary of Lin Baici and didn’t want to provoke him.
"I don’t want to miss out on a great show!"
The boss lady shrugged her shoulders.
"Since you’re all here, there’s no need to wait!"
Lin Baici walked towards the tunnel where Xia Hongyao had left.
The leather-pants lady looked baffled, what are you all talking about?
I don’t understand anything!
She looked at the dwarf.
The dwarf shook his head.
I don’t know anything and dare not ask!
About ten minutes later, the two sides met.
The old man was shocked to see Xia Hongyao dragging the half-dead bartender.
The old man looked at Lin Baici, awaiting an explanation.
"Little Lin, you guessed correctly; he did attack me!"
After speaking, Xia Hongyao sighed, "I originally thought he was quite nice!"
"When did you realize there was something wrong with me?"
The bartender looked at Lin Baici, knowing his end was near, but he wanted to understand when he had slipped up.
"Wow, what a failure!"
In the bar, the maid sitting on the carpet exclaimed, grabbed a can of beer, and took a gulp, "But I think the bartender was never likely to succeed!"
The more I think about it, the more I want to become a maid for Lin Baici, what should I do?
Following him would definitely be fun.
"Don’t you find it problematic that you’re killing goblins so fiercely on your own?"
"What’s wrong with wanting to fight desperately to become a real God Hunter?"
The bartender retorted.
"Nothing wrong, which is why I didn’t just kill you right away when I felt something was off, like Cao Cao would have, but instead, I tested you!"
"I understand now, you are the Goblin King!"
The bartender wasn’t stupid, and had a sudden realization: "Did you two switch cards?"
No wonder my card didn’t affect Xia Hongyao!
Turns out she wasn’t the Goblin King at all!
