Chapter 342: Chapter 342 - 342 The Original Strategy (II)

342 The Original Strategy (II)

Despite that, Lin Ye had also expected this outcome.

‘Are you guys here to search for my location together?’

‘Alright!’

‘Since there are too many people…’

!!

‘I can’t afford to offend!’

‘I’ll run away, alright?’

Primitive. Shadow Moon Gap. Stealth!

Lin Ye’s figure slowly disappeared into the darkness and turned into a pale white shadow. Under the cover of the towering flames, it was impossible to see him clearly or hear his footsteps as he ran.

Just like that, Lin Ye swaggered through the orc troops that were searching for buildings along the mountain path and quietly arrived at the gate of the walled city.

There were still a few black-skinned orcs guarding the gate.

Lin Ye didn’t waste time talking to them. He went up and killed them all with one punch each. Then, he threw out the remaining oil in his hand and set all the buildings in front of the gate on fire, including the stone gate.

Before these black-skinned orcs died, Lin Ye deliberately held back and let them blow the attack horn on their waists to draw back the large group of orcs that were going up the mountain.

When the orcs returned and saw their dead orcs comrades and the raging fire around them, they were all furious.

However, they couldn’t do anything to Lin Ye, who was standing outside the circle of fire.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

On the other hand, Lin Ye pulled out his sword and slashed with a Milky-Scented slash. His silent destruction with the power of thunder swept across the battlefield and took the lives of dozens of Gravel Tribe orcs.

“Done.”

“Oh,”

As he spoke, Lin Ye jumped off the walled city’s wall and disappeared into the dark forest again without any hesitation.

The orc soldiers who were still alive were struck dumb as they looked at each other.

‘Sh*t!’

‘What kind of power was that?’

‘That human could actually summon the power of Thunder to kill his enemy?’

‘Is it magic?’

‘Can magic be used like this?’

As the commander, the orc warrior was wracking his brain, trying to reason the situation.

‘He ran away?’

‘He actually ran away?’

‘With such a huge advantage, why didn’t he continue to kill us?’

‘But instead, he chose to escape?’

‘Could it be… This guy’s magic doesn’t last long enough, and his energy will be depleted after one use. He needs to rest for a while before he can recover?’

‘F*ck!’

‘So that’s how it is!’

‘No wonder he didn’t go after the other patrol teams after killing them!’

‘Damn it!’

‘How did we not notice this?’

‘He had made two sneak attacks and we’ve lost so many of us!’

‘Then… What should I do now?’

‘Should we pursue him while he is weak?’

‘Or should I wait for the next wave to come and force him to stay?’

‘Also…!’

‘How did this guy sneak into our city and set fire to it without any of us noticing?’

‘He had just set the fire, and we had already searched along the path up the mountain. By the time we see him, he’s at the gates. Why didn’t we run into him?’

‘Could it be that he had other abilities?’

‘Invisibility?’

‘Teleportation?’

‘Is there really such a magical power in the world?’

As the captain continued to think, his vice-captain next to him asked if they should send an army to chase after the enemy or quickly find a water source to put out the fire since the enemy had escaped.

“Pursue them.” The captain of the orcs said.

“I’ve already figured it out. That guy’s magic power can’t last long. He’s like an arrow at the end of its flight. We can finish him off even if we send half of our people.”

“The remaining half will stay here to put out the fire.”

After saying that, the orc captain led the charge and rushed through the area where the fire was the weakest. He then kicked open the gate of the walled city and walked into the dark world beyond.

The orc vice-captain turned around and told his subordinates the captain’s orders. Half of them followed the captain’s footsteps and charged through the fire to find the culprit who set the mountain on fire.

The rest of the people stayed behind to fight the fire.

To avoid Lin Ye’s surprise attack, the orc’s army killed their way into the dark forest and split into several exploration teams. Each of them had a torch and lit up the dark forest, looking for Lin Ye’s traces.

...

Lin Ye was hiding in his secret cave, secretly observing them.

‘Eh?’

‘These guys actually dared to chase after him?’

‘This is embarrassing. If I had known, I would have returned to the walled city and continued playing tricks on them.’

‘But…’

‘The forest is my home ground.’

‘So many of you came here, and under the blessing of the dark environment, you’re giving me your heads on a silver platter…’

Soon, Lin Ye’s stamina recovered. During this time, not only did the black-skinned orcs not find him, but they were also getting further and further away from him, deeper into the forest.

Lin Ye didn’t waste any time and followed the orcs’ directions. He was like a ghost in the dark, quietly tailing them.

He would stab any orcs in the back whenever one of them strayed too far away from the crowd, killing them in an instant, not giving them any chances to cry for help.

After an unknown amount of time…

...

A few of the black-skinned orcs on the back noticed that something was amiss.

They turned to look behind them and found that their companions had all disappeared. There was no sound and no reason for them to leave the team. It was obvious that they had been killed by the enemy.

Instantly–

The orc sounded his horns in a panic.

All the orcs that were looking for Lin Ye immediately approached the direction of the horn.

The orc captain, who had always wanted to destroy the enemy and avenge his companions, also realized that he had made a very serious mistake.

He didn’t consider the time it would take for the enemy to recover his magic power.

And they had been out in the forest for so long…

Their enemy must have recovered by now. He would definitely take advantage of the complex terrain of the forest and the dark environment to kill the orcs who were far away from the protection of the walled city.

‘How detestable…’

He should have ordered the orcs to retreat once their search was futile in the forest…

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. The orc Captain could only order all the orc Warriors to gather together and form a defensive formation back to back to deal with the enemy’s attack.

This was a precaution, a formation guard against Lin Ye’s terrifying AoE magic.

It also deliberately separated the team from each other to avoid being wiped out at once.

After observing for a long time, Lin Ye realized that he couldn’t do anything to this defensive formation. No matter which direction he attacked from, he could only kill a portion of the orc soldiers before the other soldiers surrounded him.

Even if Lin Ye could use his self-created stealth and enter shadow mode after using primordial destruction, he definitely wouldn’t be able to increase the distance between them. The undead orc soldiers would catch up to him and surround him with nowhere to run.

If they were in the Gravel Tribe’s stronghold, the orcs would be restricted by all kinds of buildings and gates. After Lin Ye used a wave of skills, the orcs could only come out through the gate, and only a few of them could come out each time.

There was no way to catch up to Lin Ye, who was using stealth and running in who-knew-where.

Not to mention surrounding him.

‘Okay… I can’t beat them in a head-on fight.’

‘But… Why should I do it face to face?’

‘You orcs don’t have digitized bodies in this primal secret region, nor do you have magical powers. Even the most ordinary flames of nature can crush you to the ground.’

‘Can’t I just play with fire as I did in the walled city?’

So, Lin Ye hid in the dark and circled around the orc army’s defensive formation. He kept drawing circles with the oil, and finally set fire to the liquid.

With the support of the forest terrain and the help of the oil, the flames grew rapidly. In just a few minutes, the fire completely surrounded the orc troops.

There was no way they could rush out of the forest with such a fierce fire.

They could only roar and wait for death to come.

In the end, they were reduced to ashes in a sea of fire.

‘In conclusion…’

‘The right way to clear this secret dungeon is to use poisoned water, fire the camp, set traps in the forest… As long as you have items in your backpacks to deal with all kinds of situations, you will have a way to deal with these low-IQ black-skinned orcs.’

Lin Ye rubbed his chin.

At first, he did not consider using such a “primitive” method to fight against a large number of people.

If he wanted to win easily, in fact, he didn’t have to go through as much trouble as Lin Ye did tonight. He could just go to the end of the Gravel Tribe’s water source and plant a few poisonous items called “Antidote Herbs” there.

When the orcs of the Gravel Tribe were poisoned, they would swagger into their stronghold and burn the entire stronghold down. Then, they would be able to complete the attack on the secret realm without any effort.

However…

Now that half of it has been burned… He didn’t need to take off his pants and fart before poisoning their water source.

He only needed to use oil to burn the remaining land.

‘Then, I’ll kill Great Chieftain.’

He could quickly end this primitive trial…
