The woods were thick with bushes and vines.
Horses couldn't gallop here properly and they quickly lost sight of Lu Li.
In fact, Lu Li had already been rushing ahead for quite some time in leopard form. In addition to not being able to use his mount, he also couldn't use his Crow Transformation.
This section of woods wasn't very big, and Lu Li quickly came out the other side.
Dammit!
The moment he ran out, he couldn't help but swear because there was already a group of players there waiting for him. Lu Li immediately reacted and stopped himself from going any further.
However, what surprised him was that this group of players didn't immediately attack him.
"Have you seen a Thief in these woods?" a Dwarf sitting on a mechanical bird asked arrogantly.
Lu Li looked around and to show that he didn't know who they were talking about before shaking his head and saying, "I didn't see anyone. I am just here to train my Herbalism. Is it okay if I leave?"
He was currently in leopard form, which most players wouldn't associate with a Thief.
"Go," the Dwarf players snorted, indicating for him to leave.
Lu Li didn't care about the other player's attitude. Instead, he just shook his head as he chose a direction to leave in.
"Wait!"
Just as Lu Li was about to leave the area, someone suddenly stopped him.
Lu Li smiled bitterly; there wasn't much he could do here. If he couldn't go into Stealth, there was almost no possibility of escape. After all, this wasn't the type of game where he could take secret shortcuts to lose his pursuers.
There were dozens of players around him; they could easily kill him within seconds.
Fortunately, if he died, he would only drop the Jet Glider and not anything else. The only bothersome thing was that he would still lose some EXP. After getting to level 50, farming was becoming more difficult and so dying also became more stressful.
"Boss, the item might be on him. Who knows if he didn't go in there to meet with the Thief?" It turned out that there were some smart players among them.
"What should do then?"
"We should kill him and them we will know for sure."
"And if it's not him?"
"Then he was just unlucky. Why did he come directly within our firing line?"
Lu Li almost laughed at these players. It wasn't that he couldn't haggle with them – he just didn't want to waste time during this period where he could be farming Dumplings. But now, he was on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.
"Are you from Knight's Glory?" Lu Li asked.
"Yes, I'm from a big guild, and the club of that guild too," the Dwarf said proudly. The other players looked at him with envy and respect.
This was understandable; Lu Li was among the ordinary players in his last life.
Regardless of the size of the club, they would be able to produce competitive players. Just registering a club already showed that a guild had the required financial resources.
In the eyes of an ordinary player, a guild's club was home to the top players in the game.
"Don't you have a president that tells you not to offend players that you shouldn't offend?" Lu Li was using his words to stall for him, and also to find the right moment to escape.
He was absolutely not going to sit still. Even if he died, he was still going to make them work for it.
"Are you talking about yourself? Brothers, kill him."
The Dwarf was so angry that he gestured for his companions to kill Lu Li regardless of whether he was innocent or not.
In fact, the major guilds would often be the bullies in the game. It seemed like Knight's Glory was no different.
These new guilds were always keen to pick a fight. If this was a truly well-established guild, they would always want to place themselves on a moral high ground. They wouldn't do anything without a good reason to.
Lu Li was helpless. He was currently still in Leopard form but if he had to fight, he would have to return to his Thief form.
In that case, his identity would be exposed.
Just because his identity was revealed, it didn't mean that he would escape this robbery. Once these players knew that they had surrounded Lu Li, they would definitely become even more excited. The prestige of killing the number one player in the game was even more alluring than obtaining the exquisite item.
