48: Chapter 48: A Narrow Escape 48: Chapter 48: A Narrow Escape Before long, two bold little skeletons stealthily made their way to the level 30 zone, a territory presided over by a black panther. Just then. “Old Fire! You tell me, isn’t it infuriating? That damned Golden Light Leopard had such little health left, damn it, I can’t accept it!” Ni Wudao was ranting as he fumbled for something, speaking to the player beside him. The player beside him was, of course, the fire mage on the Earthly List ranked 22. His face was caked in soot, his brows furrowed tightly. He had just let a golden BOSS slip through his fingers, who wouldn’t find that upsetting! “Stop whining and keep looking for the map! There are rumours from Boss Jiu Kong that the Big Gun and that Golden Light Leopard might have entered the Hidden Map! The entrance should be somewhere around here without doubt.” The fire mage was extremely irritable, his tone rushed. “Boss Jiu Kong has searched so many times already, what chances do we have!” Ni Wudao said with a look of envy. “Boss Jiu Kong’s pet is fucking incredible! It’s a flying pet, gold-ranked! When will I ever get one?” “Forget the pet and search for the entrance! If he finds it before us, then we won’t get a chance to taste the meat!” chastised the Fire Mage. “Come on, Big Gun is still online, the map should be quite big, as long as we get into it, so what if we don’t get any benefits?!” At a distance, the two little skeletons secretly lurked, watching the familiar figures of Ni Wudao and the fire mage as they searched for something. “Did those two guys also get the Corpse Hiding Map?” “No, they don’t seem to know the coordinates. Only I must have the Corpse Hiding Map, there’s definitely a story behind this.” But when Su Ran heard about the boss Golden Light Leopard, his eyes flared. The level 30 golden BOSS, which might drop golden equipment, now sells for a hefty price! “Hidden Map? They’re looking for the Hidden Map?” Su Ran suddenly connected it with the Corpse Hiding Map in his hand. A prime location! This Corpse Hiding Map really was something, it could actually guide a player to find the Hidden Map! Oh, corrected, it was a point acupuncture map. Su Ran tapped his head, starting to inspect the location indicated by the concealment coordinates on the Corpse Hiding Map. Suddenly. A black panther respawned, appearing right between the fire mage and the two little skeletons. Oh no, a monster has spawned! Su Ran was taken aback, his cover’s about to be blown! His mind raced considering what to do, even entertaining thoughts of fleeing immediately. The newly respawned black panther noticed two demons encroaching on its territory. This wouldn’t stand! It roared loudly, its eyes blood-red, its black sleek fur standing on end, baring its fangs and crouched. It was about to pounce on the two audaciously reckless skeletons when— “Fire Cannon!” The fire mage immediately launched a strong attack. As the black panther just respawned, he acted without hesitation to bomb it. Bingo, the ambush was successful! The black panther winced with pain, it twisted its head towards the fire mage and lunged, dashing towards the detestable human still gathering magic elements. Phew, the enmity shifted! Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. What a lifesaver! Su Ran started to think that maybe the Fire Mage wasn’t that bad. He continued to squat in his hiding spot, keeping a close eye on them. “Eek!” A fledgling eagle with flapping wings flew over and threw itself at the black panther. “What’s that?” Ni Wudao, who was in the middle of an intense battle with the black panther, suddenly noticed a cute little eagle flapping its tiny wings and flying towards the level 30 black panther. “Stop wasting time! It’s Boss Jiu Kong’s pet, the Wave Chasing Eagle!” The fire mage whispered urgently to Ni Wudao: “Earthly List Jiu Kong, cries of the Golden Eagle, battling the waves, invincible!” Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Golden Eagle Surging! That’s its baby form!” he said excitedly. “Seeing as Surging is here, Boss Jiu Kong can’t be far away!” No sooner had the fire mage finished speaking than Jiu Kong, the ice mage, floated down from the trees. A large swath of deep blue magical elements were forming in his icy fan, pointing towards the black panther that was getting continually battered. He softly commanded, “Ice Arrow Technique!” The deep blue magical elements instantly formed into a long ice-blue arrow, which shot towards the black panther! “Whoosh!” “-502” (Lucky Crit) The black panther was hit by the ice-blue arrow. Unswayed, the black panther was lifted into the air by the strong force, before falling heavy onto the ground, turning into a dead corpse. The power of this ‘Ice Arrow Technique’, was clear for all to see! All the players held their breath. This was the power of the Earthly List masters?! Killing a level 30 monster with 502 damage! Ni Wudao was no longer putting on air, obediently standing in place. On the other hand, the fire mage ran over, laughing at Jiu Kong: “Jiu Kong, your attack has become even more potent! If I had known, I would have called you when we first spot the Golden Light Leopard!” Ice mage Jiu Kong shrugged and laughed, “Not really, I’m still the same, just got lucky with a critical hit. Here’s your dropped mage robe, catch.” Jiu Kong threw the robe to the fire mage. With a joyous expression, he quickly put on the robe, a look of gratitude on his face. “Hey, you’re Ni Wudao, right?” Jiu Kong turned to Ni Wudao as if he had discovered something new, “You’re quite famous on the forum!” Ni Wudao offered a forced smile, seeming awkward. Suddenly. The fledgling eagle started to flutter around the corpse of the black panther, squawking loudly. “Something must have caught Little Eagle’s attention! Ni Wudao, go and remove the black panther’s corpse!” Jiu Kong quickly moved a few steps forward, but upon seeing the bloody carcass, he lost interest, resigned to sending Ni Wudao to do the dirty work. Following orders, Ni Wudao stepped forward, his broadsword cleared the black panther’s corpse and a small hole actually appeared in the ground. What was this hole? Jiu Kong concentrated his gaze on it. The hole was pitch-black, extremely mysterious. “Ni Wudao, perform a Jump Cut into this gap, and do it quickly!” Jiu Kong stepped back a few paces, smiling widely. “Hyah!” Ni Wudao leapt high, lunging with a Jump Cut towards the tiny hole. Only to hear── “Crash!” With a huge noise, Ni Wudao actually created a massive pit, falling into it and landing at the bottom. “Boss Jiu Kong, get down here quickly, there’s a path ahead! It really is a Hidden Map!” It was Ni Wudao’s first encounter with a Hidden Map and he was whaling with excitement. Subsequently, two players and a pet all rushed into the pit to examine the mysterious terrain. “Damn, look at that!” Ni Wudao was shocked, pointing to where they had entered. The massive opening had completely vanished, as if the pit had never existed; everything returned to its original state. “Quit making a fuss, it’s just a formation.” Jiu Kong lightly chuckled. “You’ll encounter many of these in the higher level maps in the future.” “Interesting, you can only enter, but not exit! Let’s move, onward to adventure! Looking forward to exploring this Hidden Map~” Jiu Kong pointed forward, the Wave Chasing Eagle understood, gave a cry, and flew ahead to scout.
