Volume 7, Chapter 24 – This Player Is Too Cautious

“Hiss… Legendary-tier weapons… and a level as high as 279… Who the hell is this little girl?”

“A hidden player… Sure enough, only when you get to a place like this do all kinds of amazing people show up… Compared to those famous leveling maniacs from before, this little girl has silently been more than 50 levels ahead of us, yet she still kept a low profile…”

“It’s decided. Starting today, I’m this little girl’s fan!”

“Hm? Wait, didn’t you say just yesterday that you were a Tianyin loli fan? Why are you changing your mind already?”

Compared to the countless players sighing in amazement.

Zhan Wushang, facing Xiaomengyao head on, felt pressure like a mountain bearing down on him.

Compared to the players from before who actually weren’t that strong, the Xiaomengyao he was facing this time, her petite body faintly giving off an intense pressure.

“This little brat… isn’t simple at all…”

As he marveled inwardly, the long spear in Zhan Wushang’s hand slowly lifted.

The spear tip glinted with a cold chill, and his fighting spirit began to burn at this moment.

However… What surprised Zhan Wushang a little was that, facing his full alertness, the little girl in front of him seemed to be in a distracted, absentminded state.

“Or did I feel it wrong?”

Zhan Wushang didn’t know why Xiaomengyao looked absentminded. But even if Xiaomengyao really was this absentminded, it still invisibly placed enormous pressure on Zhan Wushang.

You can’t judge by appearances.

The little girl in front of him was someone with a level as high as 279. If you ignored her level, the feeling she gave was just that of a cute little girl.

But… it was precisely because of the unbelievably eye catching level 279 above her head… that Zhan Wushang had to take the little girl seriously, and he simply didn’t dare to let any thought of underestimating her arise.

Often, the outcome of a battle was decided in an instant. And the details within a battle were what decided the outcome of that battle.

And as Zhan Wushang, who had relied on an ordinary knight class to crush his way through countless hidden classes and had never tasted defeat, he himself had brought the aspect of details to its absolute fullest.

Facing Xiaomengyao at level 279, Zhan Wushang didn’t dare have even the slightest thought of underestimating her.

Even if the little girl really looked like she had no fighting intent and was distracted. Zhan Wushang still couldn’t lower his guard just because his opponent looked like this.

An arrogant army would surely lose.

To look down on your opponent was the same as looking down on yourself.

In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhan Wushang’s mind. And the truest thought was that he couldn’t have any underestimating thoughts toward Xiaomengyao.

Not only that, the more Xiaomengyao acted like she was looking down on him, the more cautious Zhan Wushang himself had to be.

“Battle begins—”

As he corrected his mindset, Zhan Wushang increasingly felt that the Xiaomengyao in front of him, putting on an absentminded act while thinking about other things, was doing it on purpose.

And as this thought appeared, so did the cold mechanical voice above the battlefield that said “Battle begins”.

“It’s started, it’s started! It’s really started! Based on Zhan Wushang’s habits, he’ll definitely rush in and seize the initiative right away!”

A player already familiar with Zhan Wushang’s style confidently made a prediction.

But—

The very next second, this prediction got slapped in the face.

“Huh??? What’s going on? What is Zhan Wushang doing?”

“Why isn’t he making a move? That little girl hasn’t even activated a skill. And he still won’t go in?”

“I’m dying laughing, this is the strongest knight? Against a little girl on the other side, he’s scared like this?”

That’s right.

The instant the battle began in the game, Zhan Wushang moved.

Of course, Zhan Wushang’s movement was not like the players had predicted, rushing to seize the initiative and launching a storm like assault on Xiaomengyao.

On the contrary, at the moment he got the impression that Xiaomengyao was very likely pretending, Zhan Wushang immediately became alert and withdrew more than ten meters to the rear, opening up what he considered a relatively “safe” “safe distance”.

“Huff… This way, even if it’s a hidden knight skill, it shouldn’t be able to hit me all at once, right?”

After opening up some distance, Zhan Wushang finally felt much safer in his heart.

However, in the players’ eyes, Zhan Wushang’s sudden cautiousness and his timid, hesitant behavior was undoubtedly jaw dropping.

“That’s it? This is the strongest knight in Elite-tier? Put me in, I can do it too.”

“This is too funny, right? This is the strongest knight you guys were hyping up? I feel offended!”

“If you ask me, just go straight in, being all timid and shrinking back, are you even a man? Go in and clash head on. What are you scared of, it’s just a little girl. So what if her level is more than 50 higher than yours?”

So many players were extremely dissatisfied with Zhan Wushang’s behavior, being cowardly to the point of reaching the heavens.

But as the person involved, Zhan Wushang was completely unaware of the outside world’s curses, still staring cautiously at the little girl in the distance.

“Hm? Did the battle start?”

At a distance where Zhan Wushang couldn’t hear, Xiaomengyao suddenly came back to her senses and muttered to herself. As she returned to her senses in a daze, she realized that the opponent who had just been standing in front of her had already run dozens of meters away, behind a big rock.

“Eh? Why didn’t this guy attack me while I was spacing out just now?”

Behavioral confusion award.

Xiaomengyao really couldn’t understand why that player in front of her would run so far away.

But… after thinking that knights couldn’t set traps like thieves and assassins, and also couldn’t do ranged attacks like archers, Xiaomengyao immediately ruled out the possibility that this was bait to lure her into attacking.

“Still… if he isn’t deliberately trying to draw me over, why is he hiding so far away from me?”

She really couldn’t understand this player’s way of thinking. But Xiaomengyao’s mind right now was full of her big brother. So she didn’t think much about the player in front of her.

So… in the Blood Knight skill list, she found a ranged skill called Blood Sword Aura.

Blood Sword Aura, as the name implies, was a blood red sword aura swung out from the sword. And the aura’s attack range was extremely far.

And in actual performance, it was exactly the skill Tianyin liked to use most in battle, treating it as a basic attack.

That’s right, the attack move Tianyin always liked to use was actually this all purpose skill called Blood Sword Aura…

After all, this skill was a ranged skill, not only was its damage high, its cooldown was also insanely fast.

With a skill like that, why couldn’t Tianyin treat it as a basic attack?

Naturally, Xiaomengyao, who often followed by Tianyin’s side, also learned a bit of Tianyin’s habits. Of course, it was also because of the battlefield situation. So… after pondering for only a short second, Xiaomengyao directly activated this powerful skill called “Blood Sword Aura”.

Very quickly. On the blade named “Breath of Roses”, blood red light began to spill out, and as the blood red light surged, a stronger sense of oppression than just now followed along as well.

“No… This place isn’t safe either… If I take even one hit from that, even as a knight I might die… No, I, Zhan Wushang, worked so hard to fight my way here, I can’t get ended just like that by a little girl!”

Countless thoughts flashed in his heart.

And while Zhan Wushang was thinking, the Blood Sword Aura Xiaomengyao activated from her sword finally surged toward Zhan Wushang’s position.
