Chapter 210: Chapter 191: Hunting in the Dark Night_2
“This is where player Vincent Wolf’s composure comes into play!”
“Player Vincent Wolf must know doing this will leave him a very low final score, and he will be ranked last within his team.” “But player Vincent Wolf still went ahead and did so!”
“Why so?”
“It’s because player Vincent Wolf is sacrificing himself for the greater good, forfeiting his own interests to prioritize the team’s!”
“What a noble character!”
At this point, Declan Hansen wept with his face in his hands, seemingly moved by Vincent Wolf’s sacrificial spirit.
Tears welling up in their eyes, viewers flooded the livestream chat with their comments.
The atmosphere was mournful for a moment.
“Achoo!”
Vincent Wolf rubbed his nose.
“Did someone curse me?”
But after saying that, he realized something.
He had already eliminated 20-30 players; it was only natural someone would curse him.
“Let them curse, hehe. I reckon I must be leading the ranking in my team by now. ”
“But I get the feeling my team might not be very reliable. If I don’t work hard, our team might end up last.”
“It seems like I need to continue eliminating others and increase my own score.
That’s the only way not to drag my team down.”
Vincent looked at the glowing dots on his phone.
He realised these dots were slowly grouping together, no more lone wolves. They were all gathered in one place.
Actually, it wasn’t because there were no lone wolves left.
It was because Vincent had already wiped them all out.
Barry and Flora Gates spent the whole time sitting on the back of the Giant Bat, watching Vincent’s hunt. They felt like outsiders, having nothing to do, just quietly watching.
But this wasn’t right, was it?
What was up with their Beast Master?
His power was too strong.
As soon as he entered, he captured two such powerful beings.
We haven’t even had a chance to show off.
We are your pet beasts, aren’t we!
Both Barry and Flora Gates felt embarrassed, but since their abilities were indeed inferior, they couldn’t help much and felt disgruntled.
Vincent could feel their dejected moods through their connection. It felt somewhat amusing.
“Don’t exaggerate, it’s just two High-Level Commanders. After some time, you guys can surpass them, no need for this.”
The Giant Bat and the Hegemonic Tiger sneered at Vincent’s remark. They had spent countless years and braved endless battles to reach their current level as High-Level Commanders, not to mention a little bit of luck. Those two had to surpass them in strength, and after some time? That was a absurd dream.
Vincent checked the time, it was already 6 pm. Darkness was slowly encroaching upon the Mysterious Realm.
After the night came, it would be the Night Bat’s game.
At night, the vision of humans and most pet beasts would be limited.
And the Night Bat’s innate abilities, Black Night Territory (High Level) and Dark Concealment (Middle Grade), would be at their best at night.
[Skill]: Black Night Territory
[Skill level]: High Level
[Introduction]: Upon the release of this skill, the beast can transform the surrounding darkness into its domain. The Black Night Territory includes the surrounding ground, air, and scenery. Within this domain, the opponent’s vision is limited, their viewing radius is reduced and they cannot discern the accurate location of the beast. Moreover, the territory is filled with the Power of Death, inflicting certain damage to the enemies.
[Skill]: Dark Concealment
[Skill level]: Middle Grade
[Introduction]: The beast can blend itself into the surrounding darkness, becoming difficult to detect. In Dark Concealment state, the beast’s form and energy will merge with the dark environment, making it difficult for enemies to detect visually and perceptually. Dark Concealment provides the beast with a high-level concealment ability, better approaching the enemy or escaping danger.
The Giant Tiger had been hard at work during the day.
As night fell, it was the Giant Bat’s turn to perform.
Once the territory was activated, no one would dare to challenge it.
After locating a congregation of glowing dots that wasn’t too large, Vincent dismounted from the Hegemonic Tiger and climbed onto the Giant Bat.
“Giant Bat, let’s go!”…
Mason Jonathan watches the twenty-or-so individuals surrounding him, and his heart fills with a sense of security.
He looks toward the most important people among these twenty-odd individuals—the Mech Empire’s Rosas, and his pet beast, a Hegemonic Tiger of the High-Level Extraordinary Growth Level, from the High-Level Command
Race.
A wave of admiration wells up in his heart.
This Rosas is barely in his twenties, but he’s already obtained the qualifications for a secured postgraduate position in one of the key universities of the Mech Empire. His visit to Ancient Cathay Country this time is just to add one more line to his resume.
As for any other purposes… Mason Jonathan felt sure there were some, but he only speculated about it in his heart, not daring to blurt out anything.
“These twenty-or-so people, their pet beasts are all from the Commander Species to start with. Plus, this impressive-looking Hegemonic Tiger, I dare not say it can win against Vincent Wolf, but self-protection definitely shouldn’t be a problem.”
Mason Jonathan is filled with relief.
This feeling is especially strong upon hearing that more than thirty people were brutally eliminated by Vincent Wolf earlier today.
“Thankfully, I found a group in time, otherwise, I definitely would’ve been eliminated by now!”
Just as he thought about this, he suddenly felt his body shake violently, as if something was nibbling gently on his body, causing him extreme discomfort.
Before Mason Jonathan could react, he saw the faint light surrounding them disappear in an instant, leaving him in utter darkness, able to see nothing, as if he was blindness-stricken.
“Why can’t I see anything?”
“What happened?”
“My body hurts so bad, is there an insect?” “Quick! Whose pet beast can light the way?” “My pet beast can breathe fire!”
Amidst the pandemonium, everyone was at a loss.
At this moment, Rosas stepped forward, his Hegemonic Tiger projected the lamp hanging around its neck.
Other Beast Masters also reacted and had their pet beasts light up the surroundings.
To their horror, even though their pet beasts illuminated the surroundings, the effect was not good, darkness still pervaded everywhere, and their range of vision was still severely limited.
They couldn’t see objects clearly even a metre away, their vision seemed worse than someone with severe myopia, and they couldn’t discern anything.
Besides that, they felt there was something wrong with their hearing as time passed.
The shouts of others started to sound deeper and distorted, with strange echoes. Their companions’ voices became strange and frightening, sometimes they would even hear some eerie, indistinguishable voice.
These induced feelings of agitation and unease, accompanied by a spreading sense of panic.
Mason Jonathan set aside his previous sense of security and relief, only one thought occupied his mind.
“Could it be Vincent Wolf who’s causing this?!”
Despite the sudden rise of this thought in Mason Jonathan’s mind, there were no evidences to prove it, but his intuition told him that he was not mistaken.
“My medal, why is it broken!”
At this moment, one person suddenly cried out.
He had been eliminated.
People around him were startled.
“What happened!” “How can someone just suddenly get eliminated while in a crowd!”
“What is happening here!”
No one responded. But a shadow flashed by in the darkness.
“Damn it! Why is my medal also broken!”
Another victim spoke up.
By this time, panic had spread to every single player here.
They each started to feel afraid in the face of an unknown opponent in the dark.
Mason Jonathan was the first to lose his nerve.
He summoned his Thunder Eagle. Right when the second victim spoke up, he rode his Thunder Eagle and darted out at lightning speed, disappearing soon thereafter.
No one else fled the scene.
It’s not that they didn’t think of escaping.
Rather, they subconsciously felt that grouping with these twenty-odd people would be safer.
Rushing into the outer darkness alone seemed to be a very dangerous and horrible thing.
Because no one knew what would happen after being left alone. When the third victim emerged, Rosas couldn’t take it anymore.
“Everyone, gather around me! Don’t spread out!”
“There is something attacking us in the dark, try and get your pet beasts to use their defensive abilities!”
