Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 71: It's a small world

Ye Ci took a step forward and heard a "click." She immediately froze, and knew that she had messed up...

It was a very familiar feeling.

The feeling of a spring being compressed. The feeling of metal parts grinding together. Ye Ci immediately realized what it was.

A landmine .

In Fate, players who had learned Engineering could build and create different types of firearms including bombs, land mines, hand grenades or even high explosives. But how could there be a player made landmine in this map? The only possibility was that...

It was done by an NPC.

Ye Ci sighed. She was too careless. She knew that there was a Master Rogue and an Gnome Scholar who was a Great Engineer, but she had forgotten about them.

The only thing Ye Ci could do was to avoid as much damage as possible as she lifted her leg away from the landmine .

An NPC-made landmine was on an entirely different level from a player's. Especially for someone as ingenious as La' Pito, the landmine s that he created would definitely bring devastating effects. Ye Ci crouched slowly, and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She did not want to die for the first time in Fate because of her own careless mistake.

Ye Ci looked around, trying to look for an object with a similar weight as her body. She might be able to place it on the landmine and then she'd be free. Ye Ci could not find any pieces of rock after studying her surrounding, but instead found danger approaching from behind.

The "danger" approached her at a very high speed. By the time Ye Ci had noticed, his presence was already behind her.

It was a Rogue.

Before the Rogue could bury his dagger into Ye Ci's back, she leaned to the side and dodged the attack.

She turned her head and saw her assailant. The person looked quite familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. He wore a badge on his chest that had a different color from Ye Ci's badge. She immediately knew that the person was from the North-West Continents Alliance.

It was not very favorable conditions for Ye Ci to PK another player. She could not move, and was unable to use her ranged weapons. This meant that she had lost a huge chunk of her damage-dealing capabilities. Aside from that, with the area full of landmine s, summoning Ol' Three was not a smart move. It might step on other landmine s buried nearby and trigger chain explosions.

Just as Ye Ci was pondering of different ways to deal with the Rogue, she heard another "click." The Rogue immediately stopped moving. His eyes that were visible through his face mask showing his expression that said, "D*mmit, why am I so unlucky?"

Heh! Lady Luck is on my side, thought Ye Ci. Even if she was still in harm's way, somebody else was here to suffer alongside her. She let out a smirk, "This is why you don't hit a person who's down. Look at you, Karma sure is a b*tch."

The North-West Rogue's anger rose after being taunted by Ye Ci. He glared at the Huntress not 3 yards away from him. His expression immediately changed as he exclaimed, "Oh my god! You again!"

Ye Ci felt odd. Judging from his tone, she must've known him from somewhere? Ye Ci stared at the Rogue for a few seconds and chuckled, "Oh, it's you."

They had fought in the Desolate Lands before, and Ye Ci had ended up defeating him and spawn camping him a few times. To think that Ye Ci would run into him again in such a place, it was really a small world.

The two stared at each other. They could not do anything at all. The slightest of movements could possibly trigger the landmine s detonation. However, they could also not just continue staring at each other.
