Chapter 340 - 340 Mimic Stealth Skill (II)

340 Mimic Stealth Skill (II)

After about 20 minutes, Lin Ye’s stamina recovered and his headache disappeared. He quietly returned to the Gravel Tribe’s stronghold and hid in the surrounding bushes, observing the orcs archers who were pacing back and forth on the city wall.

“Is martial law in place?”

‘What a pity.’

‘The defense of your city is full of holes.’

‘It’s not difficult for me to sneak in at all. Not to mention, with these few days of research, I’ve also imitated the stealth of the Assassin Class.’

There were three types of stealth skills for Assassins. The first type was to change one’s own color. Like a chameleon, one could disguise themselves as the surrounding environment and move slowly to approach the target.

Its advantage was that the quality of the skill was low, and basically any Assassin could learn it.

However, its weakness was that the user could not move too quickly or slowly during stealth, otherwise, they would be in disharmony with their surrounding environment, which led them to be discoverable.

The second “skill” was invisibility in common sense: turning one’s body transparent. Even if one ran quickly, they would cause no disharmony. One had to use anti-invisibility items or have extremely strong hearing and other senses to detect the existence of such enemies.

Of course.

Nolan’s Eye of Truth could also detect the whereabouts of these invisible thieves.

The third “skill” was the advanced stealth skill used by the level 50 Assassin from the Werewolf Kingdom. The user could immediately escape into the shadow plane that they could not choose. It would not create discordant images in reality, nor would it expose the sound of the user’s footsteps and aura.

Even Nolan’s Eye of Truth wouldn’t be able to detect the Assassin who hid in another world.

Lin Ye was imitating the third skill.

Originally, he had no idea how Thieves and Assassins went invisible, so he couldn’t simulate any stealth skills.

However, Hidden Moon blade’s Moon Shadow Form had a skill called “Lunar Shadow Gap”. Its essence was almost the same as the third stealth skill, which allowed one to sneak into the shadow plane and enter a state that could not be selected to avoid the enemy’s damage skills.

The only difference was that Thieves and Assassins could hide in the shadows without making a sound, while Lin Ye’s “Lunar Shadow Gap” could leave a shadow shell in reality that looked like a blue watery figure.

Although the enemy couldn’t hit him, they could still see where he was going and predict his position. Once he left the shadow plane, they could immediately slam him down.

Lin Ye used this as a foundation and combined it with his memories of the Assassin Class, namely, the level 50 half-wolf assassin. He continuously improved the effects of “Lunar Shadow Gap” so that it was as good as the Assassin Class’s skill.

Although it didn’t perfectly mimic the perfect stealth skill of a Thief or an Assassin, he managed to change the original blue water man form into a light white water man form that was hard to detect.

But to let him sneak into a city in such a dark environment…

No problem at all.

Even if he was discovered, it wouldn’t be a big problem. This imitation skill still retained the state of Lunar Shadow Gap and Hide in Shadow, which enemy’s attacks couldn’t hit him.

The only problem was that the physical consumption of maintaining this state was a little terrifying.

He could not remain invisible for long.

Then, using this self-created skill that he didn’t know if it should be called “Lunar Shadow Gap” or “Hide in The Shadows” Lin Ye successfully sneaked into the heavily-guarded Gravel Tribe’s stronghold.

He wasn’t in a hurry to kill the black-skinned orcs patrolling the streets.

Instead, he went along the dark corners and went around every orc he met. He sneaked into the depths of the walled city bit by bit until he reached the first checkpoint where the first Boss was located.

The security here was not bad, but compared to the thousands of orcs waiting at the gate, it was like a Mickey Mouse wonder house, not threatening at all.

If Lin Ye wanted to kill all the orc soldiers at this checkpoint, he only needed to rush in through the gate. He didn’t even need to cast Time of Silence; he could just use normal imitation skills to kill them all.

However, the horn of the orc soldiers was a threat.

Once they blew their horns, the orc army guarding the gate would rush over. They would work with the Gravel Tribe orcs from the second checkpoint to pincer Lin Ye, making it impossible for him to escape.

So, Lin Ye didn’t come to attack this checkpoint tonight.

He was only here to set the fire.

The buildings around this checkpoint seemed to be the lumber mill. There were all kinds of wood stacked together. Lin Ye only needed to pour an item called “CNOOC” on the wood and set it on fire, and the area would turn into a sea of fire that normal water couldn’t put out.

At that time, the orcs in the Gravel Tribe would be in chaos, and Lin Ye could use this opportunity to take away a group of unlucky black-skinned orcs while he used Time of Silence, reducing the strength and population of the Gravel Tribe.

If he was lucky, he could even burn the orc Boss in the first checkpoint, which was called Death Hand Aiur’s suffering sorcerer.

Lin Ye guessed.

Although this Warlock had been injured by the original setting of the secret dungeon, under the mechanism of imitation skills, he could definitely still cast the most basic curses.

It would be very troublesome if both sides fought face to face. Lin Ye had to use a lot of stamina to cast dispel skills, so it would be difficult for him to fight for a long time.

So, Lin Ye didn’t just want to be lucky and burn him.

Instead, he had to ensure that he could burn the other party to death.

Therefore, Lin Ye spent a long time spreading the CNOOC as far as possible. He also found a way to spread it around the outer wall of the outpost to make sure that the fire could surround the entire outpost.

If it weren’t for the orcs standing guard inside, Lin Ye would have run inside the outpost and scattered oil all over the corridor…

After finishing all the preparation, Lin Ye hid in a big bucket in a dark alley outside and waited for time to pass.

Finally…!

The black-skinned orcs on night duty saw that there was no movement at the gate. Since they were inside the walled city, it was almost impossible for them to be attacked. Thus, they relaxed their vigilance and began to eat, drink, and have fun.

The succubi also diligently ran to the outpost.

They expressed their condolences to the soldiers who had worked hard.

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Ye ran out of the wooden barrel he was hiding in and took out a tool that could create a fire source. He lit up the wood that was stained with the oil and quickly left this place through the ‘escape route’ he left behind on purpose.

The flammability of the oil was very terrifying. As long as it came into contact with fire, it would instantly turn into a raging flame, producing an extremely high temperature.

Furthermore, it spread very quickly, just like a forest fire that was blown by a strong wind. It could instantly set a large area of trees on fire, making it impossible for people to escape.

Under normal circumstances, these items were used to deal with secret land Bosses with weak fire attributes. They would pour the water on them and then release fire attribute skills to burn the other party, causing them to lose HP rapidly.

How could a Boss-specific relic be bad?

Definitely not!

As Lin Ye was running away, the fire surrounded the entire outpost.

The black-skinned orcs inside wanted to come out from the door, but they found that the flames outside had completely flooded the exit. They turned and ran back, planning to jump down from the rooftop, but they found that the flames were everywhere, and there was no safe place to land.

They wanted to escape.

They had to drill into the terrifying red flames.

The orc army guarding the gate also noticed the burning outpost in the distance. They wanted to run over and help put out the fire, but they didn’t get orders from their Boss and team leader, so they didn’t dare to leave their posts. Lin Ye, who was nowhere to be found, took the opportunity to attack them.

Lin Ye wasn’t in a hurry, so he hid in a dark corner and waited for the Gravel Tribe orcs to make a decision.

If they spread out their forces to put out the fire, Lin Ye would take the opportunity to take away a wave of people and escape to the small forest. He would wait for them to come after him or be too scared to move.

If they did not split up and continued to guard the gate, he could be targeted for any possible attacks.

That would depend on the situation. Should he continue to hide in the enemy’s stronghold and wait for a new opportunity, or should he use his self-created stealth skill to slip out and harass them from the front?

After all, he could heal, instakill, use AoE attacks, and use stealth and speed up.

After a head-on fight, they would leave.

It was not a problem.

Ah, guerilla warfare, running after one shot, what a good tactic!

It was very suitable for a “Big Brother”.
