"That person just now was definitely an Assassin profession player."
After the sudden appearance of the masked man in black who quickly vanished, Wang Zhifan deduced the individual's identity.
He was so sure that the masked person was a player based on their attire, which looked quite different from this world's NPCs, lacking many Western style features. The second reason was the voice; it was fluent in Xia Country language, devoid of the strange accent typical of NPCs.
"I didn't expect to encounter other players so quickly... though it's a bit surprising he didn't stay hidden to watch me."
Wang Zhifan's Perception Ability was very powerful. He was certain that the masked player who had suddenly appeared and then disappeared had already left the vicinity and was not lingering nearby to observe him.
Initially, he noticed the person glanced at him twice, thinking they might have malicious intent, but it seemed he was overly worried.
"Better to be cautious... While I am confident my strength isn't inferior to other players, it's not as if no one can threaten me."
Given the PVP-supportive dungeon, Wang Zhifan was on alert. Although he had killed players before, he was somewhat lacking in experience in this regard, so he took cautious actions.
After contemplating, he decided not to linger any longer in the Lion's Eye Camp. He quickly found an empty corner and initiated the ability of the Deceitful Shadow Shoes, slipping unnoticed to the outside of the low walls surrounding the camp.
He then intended to summon the Red Deer Horse to head north, but before the summoning, several gunshots rang out from a nearby area.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gunfire was dense, mingled with a few screams.
"Who? Could there be other players appearing?"
On hearing this, Wang Zhifan immediately retrieved his Wind Concealing Conical Hat from his personal space, put it on his head, and activated the hat's Invisibility Ability, swiftly heading toward the source of the sounds.
Within a few breaths, he, moving with remarkable speed, reached the riverbank at the entrance of the Lion's Eye Camp in an invisible state. There, he saw a man in a trench coat and sunglasses using a rifle to shoot the guards, the cavalry there.
The man's shooting was exceptionally precise and swift. Almost at every sway of the gun barrel, a leather-armored cavalryman was shot in the head, falling powerlessly, without even the chance to draw a bow for retaliation.
"This gunner player is pretty arrogant, directly starting a killing spree... Is he not afraid there are powerful figures among the NPCs?"
Watching invisibly, Wang Zhifan realized that the sunglassed trench coat shooter was undoubtedly another player. However, his approach was vastly different from his own and that previous Assassin, showing no regard at all for the NPCs, starting a reckless massacre at the outset of the dungeon.
Seeing this situation, Wang Zhifan didn't hesitate to choose to stand by and watch, curious to see what consequences this gunner player's actions would bring, and whether he would be eliminated by strong NPCs from the camp.
Just when he expected a robust figure from the Lion's Eye Camp to leap out to launch an attack, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.
The gunner player who had shot most of the cavalry guards on the wooden bridge suddenly fired a few shots into the air around him, changing his expression from the previous bloodthirsty arrogance to one of vigilance. While shooting, he retreated continuously toward the wilderness off the wooden bridge.
"Is it... that the Assassin player has targeted him?"
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately extended his Perception Ability, carefully sensing the situation over some distance, and vaguely discovered a lean figure maneuvering around the gunner player, trying to get closer. Meanwhile, the gunner was continuously shooting to suppress his movement, seemingly sensing his approximate location.
"Why are these two suddenly against each other? There's no logical reason..."
Seeing that the NPC forces hadn't yet launched, but the two players had commenced combat, Wang Zhifan was somewhat unable to comprehend.
This was because, in his opinion, according to the logic of this player-infighting-allowed dungeon, smart players should hold off until the later stages. By then, having accumulated more loot and equipment through several days of defeating monsters and making purchases, one could aim for maximal benefit. Yet in just one to two hours into the dungeon, these players were already fighting, which seemed like a waste in a sense.
As Wang Zhifan invisibly watched and marveled at these two players' tempers, he saw the gunner player pulling out a second gun from his personal space. While using the new gun to shoot bullets suppressing the approaching Assassin, he used the other hand single-handedly to reload the rifle tucked in his armpit, displaying remarkable combat endurance.
He also vaguely heard the trench-coated, sunglassed gunner cursing loudly while shooting:
"Trash! You intervene just because I killed a few NPCs, real motherly! Why would someone like you choose the Assassin profession? Go back to your mother's womb and become a Priest, Motherly Saint!"
While cursing, the gunner's hands kept moving, quickly reloading bullets and using both guns to suppress the stealthy Assassin's approach.
The invisibility-driven Assassin, under this bullet barrage threat, indeed found it challenging to approach the gunner, but perhaps due to limited perception or insufficiently excellent stealth-detecting equipment, the gunner could not truly hit the constantly maneuvering, cloaked Assassin. They entered a temporary stalemate.
"If this continues, the gunner will find himself at a disadvantage."
Observing the battle from a distance while invisible, Wang Zhifan judged internally that, although it was his first time seeing a gunner and an Assassin fight, it was evident that the gunner could not precisely target the Assassin, and could only rely on general directional firepower to prevent close contact from the enemy. Thus, unless this gunner got lucky and hit the opponent, he'd likely become dead meat once his ammunition ran dry.
Just as this went through Wang Zhifan's mind, suddenly, four identical lean figures appeared around the gunner still firing in the distance, sprinting toward him!
The gunner, however, didn't seem too flustered. His firearm hand executed a high-speed spin and almost simultaneously fired bullets in all directions, hitting those four figures almost simultaneously! Then, at the moment of his shooting, another lean figure emerged quietly behind him, poised to slash at his neck with a dagger!
However, this assault only triggered an incredibly rapid forward roll and counter-shooting from the gunner player. Instantly, he fired several bullets, hitting the Assassin player trying to ambush him from behind!
