Li Yao’s situation wasn’t particularly promising right now. Although the roof had fewer monsters than the ground, its wider field of vision wasn’t much of a problem for him due to the Ranger’s passive effect that allowed him to move stealthily in the darkness.

However, if he decided to strike, he would invariably attract a few monsters.

In such circumstances, summoning the Fire Hawk was not ideal. Its intense aura was highly conspicuous to the monsters, who were heavily sensitive to any energy fluctuations. The Fire Hawk’s appearance was as conspicuous as a firefly in the dead of night, bound to incite a barrage of attacks.

Conversely, if the Spider were summoned, it could potentially hold its own against the monsters one vs one, but it wouldn’t stand a chance against a horde.

Although the ground-level monsters were densely clustered, the fallen debris of many buildings, boulders, and the layout of the streets served to scatter them.

The Mage was a cautious one. He was advancing very carefully, steering clear of provoking the city guards of MO Hai City.

When the distance between them got too close, the Mage would use Blink to teleport out a considerable distance to avoid waking the sleeping guards.

The Mage was extremely vigilant. As he slowly advanced, he continuously scanned his surroundings and tried to walk as close to the walls as possible.

Seeing him slowly approaching, Li Yao needed to create a plan to silently assassinate the Mage without waking the monsters.

Li Yao held a dagger in each hand. Standing atop a building, dozens of yards high, he quietly waited for the Mage to draw near.

The location below him was quite a distance away from the surrounding monsters, the perfect spot for an execution.

Li Yao had kept the main screen open. The moment he reappeared, the audience saw his two daggers plunge into the back of a Mage’s neck from behind.

They were puzzled as to why the Mage had fallen to his knees, even failing to cast Blink.

Li Yao picked up the loot dropped by the Mage, turned around and slowly vanished again.

“Rewind it.”

To capture Li Yao’s stealthy movements, a replay was essential. The screen quickly showed Li Yao standing on top of a building, ready for the incoming Mage.

“It seems the first prey of ‘Prairie Fire’ has appeared. But why did he take out his daggers?” asked the host.

“He fears attracting monsters. As you all saw just now, the monsters here are grotesque, seemingly tougher to deal with than a boss,” Xiao Ze explained.

“Exactly, more than five thousand contestants have already been eliminated. This place is truly dreadful. The Mage below was really clever to use Blink so effectively and survive for so long,” KB added, “Let’s see what happens next.” They then saw Li Yao, who was on top of the roof, abruptly jumping down.

The Mage just happened to walk by as Li Yao was about to land.

Driven by significant inertia, the two daggers plunged into the Mage’s back neck, and the audience clearly saw the confusion in the Mage’s eyes.

He was immediately toppled over by the immense impact force. Li Yao showed no mercy as he pulled out his daggers and mercilessly stabbed into the Mage’s back again.

As a Mage, who was naturally fragile, and suffering a lethal backstab coupled with a high inertia hit, he was instantly killed.

Li Yao, albeit using the Mage’s body to cushion his fall, lost nearly four-fifths of his health, looking extremely vulnerable. “Good heavens, I didn’t know you could do it this way.” “Poor Mage, dying with his eyes wide open.”

“He was so pitiable, dying without knowing how he died.”

“Let’s observe three seconds of silence for the Mage.”

“Prairie Fire is incredibly good at this. This move of his has left me speechless.”

“I get a feeling that he would have a brighter future if he played the thief character.”

“It’s another instance of the Assassin’s Creed. What are the thieves going to do about this?”

The audience excitedly discussed the outcome while Li Yao glanced around and saw that he hadn’t alarmed any monsters. He repeated his technique and jumped up, using the Magical Spider Web to stick to the edge of a building, climbing back onto the rooftop to look for his next target.

“Let’s see what the others are up to,” he said with a smile as he switched between several screens.

Two players who had encountered each other incited a fierce battle, which alerted a group of monsters. The monsters chased them down, attracting even more monsters along the way. Both players couldn’t escape.

One tragic scene after another unfolded. Fifteen minutes later, most of the contestants had realized the gravity of the situation. Even enemy encounters had become exceedingly cautious. Rather than failing to kill an opponent, they prioritized not alerting the monsters.

The intense and thrilling hunting and counter-hunting had officially begun, much to the audience’s delight.

Li Yao quickly found his second target, this time, a Magician. He patiently waited for the Magician to come closer.

Just when Li Yao was about to strike, he suddenly spotted a shadow appearing behind the Magician.

A dagger emitting a green light fiercely stabbed into the back of the Magician’s head, stunning him instantly.

The Assassin immediately unleashed a combo of Backstab, Backstab, Backstab, and Throat Slash. Clearly, his premium character class was an Assassin, which allowed him to perform continuous Backstabs.

After executing one set, the fragile Magician was instantly killed.

Just as the Assassin was about to collect the loot dropped by the Magician, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his back. Then, a powerful force knocked him to the ground. Li Yao had also performed three back-to-back Backstabs.

However, Li Yao’s Backstab moves didn’t come with any skill damage bonus.

The Assassin died in bafflement, just like the first Mage. In this special trial ground, the system wouldn’t alert who had attacked him.

Li Yao collected the loot dropped by the two players and climbed back onto the roof again.

The line between the hunter and the prey had blurred significantly.

Nevertheless, Li Yao had always been incredibly careful. If anyone could detect invisibility, they would see a Metal Snake always following Li Yao.

Half an hour passed quickly. Li Yao’s score steadily increased, making him stand out among the crowd. He had killed more than twenty players from the Light Faction.

The audience watched as Li Yao constantly changed his tactics—sometimes using the terrain, other times using special props—to cleverly kill his opponents who died miserably without exception.

“Something is different this time. There are two players. How is Prairie Fire going to deal with this? Or will he give up this slaughter?” Xiao Ze noticed the situation on the scene. The director had finally found a way to keep track of Li Yao’s movement, which was rather fixed and always headed towards the city center.

When he spotted a player, it was almost certain that Prairie Fire would make a move.

“A Priest and a Warrior. This won’t be easy,” KB remarked, frowning.

Li Yao evaluated their path, walked a considerable distance away, out of sight, and grabbed a sturdy vine. He then crafted a rudimentary lasso and let the vine hang down.

“What’s Prairie Fire trying to do? Make a trap? But why such a simple lasso?” Zhao Li inquired.

KB was silent for a moment, slightly shaking his head to indicate he didn’t know.

Xiao Ze muttered to himself, “From a distance of dozens of yards, if it’s placed on the ground, the two players undoubtedly won’t fall for it. If it’s meant to lasso around the neck, it’s too high to control. It feels like the lasso is completely useless.” …
