The Great Thief Chapter 806: Oozeling

Square Root 3 counted the number of people who were awarded Skill Points; there was a total of seven players.

This was an indication of how rare Skill Points truly were.

Lu Li shared the quest he was doing, but only a few hundred players could accept it.

The remaining tens of thousands of players who were fighting in Jintha'Alor went their separate ways. Lu Li took the few hundred players to the Altar of Zul on a quest to find the Elder Trolls. It wasn't clear what the Elders were thinking when they saw all those players, but their faces were blue anyway.

Lu Li guessed that they probably suspected that all these players were there to kill them.

The quest that Lu Li had shared wasn't a Main Quest. When the little bit of EXP was distributed, Lu Li received the biggest portion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with these elders.

Regardless, the Tribe had a good relationship with the Horde and he was basically hurting the Horde by doing this.

After Lu Li had set aside the other players, the Elder Troll was very grateful in thanking him.

"Thank you for saving me from the Vile Demon Tribe."

Lu Li had been gone for more than ten days and the tribe was about to sacrifice him. He thought that Lu Li had forgotten him.

"I'm glad that you're okay, my dearest friend," Lu Li said graciously. He wasn't arrogant just because he was standing before hundreds of players.

"Although you must have had a difficult time here, I thought that you should know the reward I have received before doing this rescue mission," he continued, deliberately revelaing the Hex's Protobelt that was on his waist.

"Heavens, you actually killed Hex! But, she had so many underlings…" The elder's face looked quite grim, but he couldn't complain.

"How would I have rescued your excellency without killing Hex? I mobilized tens of thousands of experts to Jintha'Alor in order to kill her," Lu Li said, then paused before adding, "I plan to take some people to Shadra'Alor. Would you like us to escort you back to Revantusk? It's on the way…"

Shadra'Alor was the Dreadwood Trolls' domain. The Deadwood Trolls and Vile Trolls had formed an alliance in Zul'Jin. However, after they returned to the Hinterlands, the Deadwood Troll settled in Shadra'Alor and no longer obeyed the Vile Trolls. Instead, they formed an alliance with the Highland Ogres and became enemies with the Vile Trolls.

But, that was not the point. The point was that Revantusk was not on the way to Shadra'Alor at all.

Lu Li's words were translated in the elder's ears to, "I saved your life. If your rewards do not satisfy me, I will take my people and level Revantusk.

Even if he had said those words earlier, the elder probably would have been suspicious.

At this time, Lu Li had just finished capturing Jintha'Alor and killed the Vile Priestess Hex. The elder felt a chill down his spine.

He could imagine Revantusk being ravaged by these barbaric adventurers.

Ruling Sword did have the strength to do this, and Revantusk didn't have a level 50 Boss. Otherwise, the elder wouldn't have been stolen away by the Jintha'Alor's Vile Trolls to be sacrificed.

However, Revantusk belonged to the Horde. Once Lu Li attacked Revantusk, the System was bound to send an alert to the Horde players.

Unfortunately, the elder didn't understand the broader situation.

He hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I actually have a treasure, but unfortunately, I lost it to Skulk Rock. Do you know Skulk Rock? Many years ago, there was a Horde Base that lay in its depths, but it has long since been abandoned. Now, there are disgusting Oozelings everywhere. They are irrational and corrosive beings, wandering around looking for things to eat. Are you and your friends brave enough?"

"Are you sure that your treasure is worth me clearing out Skulk Rock, a place that even the Wildhammer Dwarves couldn't overcome?" Lu Li was a little angry.

Some of the others might have been confused, but he was no stranger to this place as he had experienced Rebirth. This was a strategic location that both the Wildhammer and Trolls wanted to occupy, but had been blocked by the Oozelings.

Oozelings dealt a lot of damage to Trolls and weren't affected by Hexes.

The Dwarves weren't willing to pay such a price to occupy a humid environment that made them so uncomfortable. As such, this place became a gap between the two forces. The Oozelings were about level 50, so it was best that the players didn't provoke them until they were level 50 as well.

"I swear that the reward would absolutely satisfy you. You know that I was taken prisoner, so my valuables were taken from me. If you still don't want to believe me, then just kill me," the elder said helplessly.

"Alright, I believe you." Lu Li knew when it was time to stop.

This type of 'Quest Monster' was just a poor old creature; killing him wouldn't drop anything good. Although Lu Li still wanted something more, he had nothing left to say if this monster really had nothing.

Those players who had been sharing EXP with Lu Li were reluctant to go.

"Boss, we'll come with you. Even if we can't help, we can clear the mobs."

It wasn't because they were trying to get something, but the opportunity to play alongside their idol was rare.

"That would be quite troublesome for everyone."

Lu Li had no reason to reject their offer. The elder's treasure was lost in Skulk Rock, and he wasn't sure if it was in a treasure chest or in an Oozeling. Either way, he had to kill a bunch of monsters. With his current equipment, it wasn't easy to kill level 50 monsters, so it would be good to have a group of players there to help.

"No trouble; it's not trouble at all!" The little group was overjoyed as they headed for Skulk Rock.

A huge colony of Oozelings lurked in the mud that covered the entire area. As they moved around, bubbles rose and popped on the surface. After looking at the vegetation, Lu Li chose a path that looked to be the safest.
