The activation process actually involves putting at least three map fragments into the nodes, then the stone formation would automatically start the activation.
The Tyrant was well aware of this because it was explicitly stated in the rules on Map One.
The two Werewolf players standing close by immediately produced a map from their inventory and tossed it to the youth. The Tyrant also retrieved a map and threw it over.
The Werewolf youth jumped up, deftly caught the three fragments, and landed back on the stone platform, ready to place the fragments into the slots one by one.
At this moment, only the youth was within the entire stone formation range, with the other Werewolves distributed around the outskirts, ready to meet the enemy.
While the Werewolf youth was making his move, the Tyrant was vigilantly watching those around him, fearing any sudden betrayal.
Luckily, this did not happen.
All the Werewolves around him were quiet, none making any outlandish moves. Many Werewolves, much like him, were suspiciously watching their comrades.
However, just as the Tyrant started to relax, the corner of his eye caught something unusual behind the Werewolf youth in the distance, causing his pupils to constrict instantly.
"Little Five, watch out!!"
The Caucasian youth standing by was already one step ahead and raised the alarm.
In their gaze, a black, writhing object emerged slowly from the shadow behind the distant Werewolf youth. It quickly transformed into a half-human figure, with its lower body still emerging from the shadow.
As soon as the figure appeared, the Tyrant recognized who it was: the sharp claws, the swallowtail cloak, this unmistakable image of a vampire, was that of the Ghost Captain, who they had previously killed!
Next to the Ghost Captain, a dull black sphere was faintly visible.
Indeed, he hadn’t gone to the ninth entrance, but had somehow hidden in Little Five’s shadow. Unnoticed, he had followed them all the way to the first entrance!
The Tyrant did not know what strange ability this was, but, in any case, this scene caught everyone off guard, putting them in a dire situation.
On the distant stone platform, the Werewolf youth had noticed the anomaly behind him. After all, his skin was specifically designed to detect Vampires. As soon as anything emerged from his shadow, he instantly sensed the danger.
Unfortunately, he was too late. By the time he realized something was wrong and tried to withdraw the fragments, he found himself trapped by a powerful force, leaving him immobile.
So, he could only keep his hand raised, holding the fragment, as he watched the figure behind him reach out and snatch the three fragments from his hand!
City of Eternal Night Map Fragment Seven, City of Eternal Night Map Fragment One, Dawn City Map Fragment Two.
Mu You looked at the names of the three fragments he had acquired, somewhat frowning, but didn’t pay much attention to it and casually stowed them away.
The sight of this made the Werewolf youth’s eyes turn red with frustration, yet he was absolutely helpless to prevent it.
And it wasn’t over yet. After Mu You had seized the fragments, an attack immediately followed.
The vampire’s sharp claws penetrated the youth’s chest without impedance, going in white and coming out red, with the process repeating at a swift frequency. The youth’s HP began to drop rapidly, like water gushing from an open faucet.
On the outskirts, the moment the Tyrant and others realized the Ghost Captain had appeared, they immediately issued a rescue order. Hundreds of Werewolves leapt into the stone formation, all rushing towards the central stone platform as fast as possible.
Unfortunately, compared to the close-range assassination, their actions were still a beat too slow.
By the time the Werewolves had reached halfway, the youth’s HP had already dropped to zero.
[You have killed ’Bloodthirsty Belly’. Experience +20, Life +1, Received ’Moon Wolf Skin Fragment’ *1.]
[Due to your unprovoked attack on another Fool, leading to his death, you have received a Player-killer status which will last for 24 hours...]
The moment he killed the Werewolf youth, these two prompts appeared in Mu You’s head.
What he was interested in was the dropped skin fragment.
Just before the final hit, he intentionally switched to the Heartless Thief skin, aiming to drop the Boiling Blood Wolf skin.
It was very normal that it didn’t drop the first time, so Mu You began to rewind.
After rewinding more than seventy times, finally, for the first time, he saw the prompt ’Boiling Blood Wolf Skin Fragment’ *1.
Mu You was in no hurry, continued to rewind, planning to take the opportunity to test out the exact drop rate.
He rewound over five hundred times, with the fragment dropping five more times, including the first time. He could basically confirm that the drop rate for an advanced skin was around 1%!
Having confirmed this, Mu You finally stopped rewinding and officially collected the first Boiling Blood Wolf fragment.
The youth fell dead to the ground and his body rapidly disappeared, reviving in a distant location in another direction.
The Werewolves, who were rushing towards him, watched the Werewolf youth being killed right before their eyes. Their eyes turned red with fury and they continued to charge at him with increased speed.
At this moment, Mu You pulled off his backpack at his waist. The mouth of the backpack automatically formed into a door-shaped exit, and a series of black shadows quickly darted out from the door, leaping into the air.
After landing, they transformed into seven figures.
Whispering Wind, Tail of July, Cat Café Owner, Holy Light Nana, Flowers in the Mist, Winter Curse, Little Aquarius.
