F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 133 This madman is going to blow everyone up here.

Screams, panic, and the grating sound of metal scraping together mingled together in an instant.

Black-armored strangler worms.

A level 50 beast, living in groups, possessing amazing carapace defense.

Their methods of attack are primitive and barbaric.

But fatally, these black-armored strangler worms are stealthy hunters in the desert.

Its massive body disappeared silently into the yellow sand, and each time it emerged from the sand, it heralded the start of a massacre.

At this moment, the team was in chaos.

"What's the panic!"

The lone wolf's roar was like a thunderclap, forcefully quelling the panic of most people.

He swept his gaze across the room, his single eye showing no fear, only indifference.

His expression suggested that he didn't take these ferocious level 50 beasts seriously at all.

"Boss, he seems very confident."

Luo Tian's voice rang in Chen Yifan's ear through a miniature communicator.

Chen Yifan did not respond.

indeed.

This lone wolf... is unusually calm.

It's important to understand that these are mythical beasts, not the monsters in dungeons that have been weakened by the rules.

Each one is qualified to be the final boss of a Silver-level dungeon.

But now, they come in droves.

This mess was decided from the very beginning.

Faced with this situation, the other party not only remained calm but also acted as if they were an outsider.

This can only prove one thing.

He has a trump card.

but……

This is exactly what he wanted to see.

Yesterday, Luo Tian's bizarre "performance" led the two of them to join this so-called "suicide squad" by mistake.

This is also an opportunity.

An opportunity to observe everyone up close.

Chen Yifan and Luo Tian exchanged a silent glance and subtly moved half a step closer to the edge of the line.

Wait and see.

"Frontline defenders hold the line! Ranged DPS, provide support! Healers, stabilize the situation!"

The lone wolf's commands were concise, cold, and devoid of any human emotion.

Chen Yifan's gaze swept across the entire room.

In his eyes, this hastily assembled "expedition team" could be roughly divided into three types of people.

A hunter who takes advantage of troubled waters.

A hyena waiting for its chance to strike.

And...cannon fodder who could be sacrificed at any time.

"Run!"

At that moment, a small, thin figure let out a shrill scream and turned to run for its life in the direction of Windswept Grass Town.

He thought he could escape alive.

however……

puff!

The bloodline stretched straight through the air.

A head flew high into the air, its face frozen in terror.

The headless body continued to rush forward for more than ten meters due to inertia before finally collapsing into the yellow sand.

The silent, scarred man beside the lone wolf slowly sheathed his knife.

He didn't even glance at the corpse; his movements were calm, just like he had just crushed an ant.

I'll say it again.

The lone wolf's voice was more piercing than the cold wind of the Gobi Desert.

"Whoever dares to back down will suffer the consequences."

Extreme gore is the most effective deterrent at this moment.

Everyone was frozen in place by this cruel scene, no longer daring to entertain even the slightest thought of escaping.

Chen Yifan stood at the back of the group, observing coldly.

Lone Wolf is decisive, ruthless, and a formidable figure.

His gaze passed over the chaotic crowd and landed on the rampaging black-armored strangling worms.

He gained a basic understanding of these strange beasts through snippets of conversation from those around him.

The level is roughly between fifty and fifty-five.

If commanded properly, sacrificing half the manpower doesn't preclude a chance of victory.

"Boss, something's not right!"

Luo Tian was working rapidly on his old computer, his voice echoing in Chen Yifan's mind.

"According to the information in my database, the Black-Armored Strangler Worm's nest should be deep in the Gobi Desert, at least thirty kilometers away from here. They shouldn't be here!"

Luo Tian's voice was filled with surprise.

"Look at their behavior patterns!"

"Disorderly, chaotic, even carrying a sense of...fear and rage!"

"you mean……"

When Chen Yifan first stepped out of the city's safe zone, his knowledge of the alien beasts was mostly limited to what he had learned in textbooks.

Now, listening to Luo Tian's words, he realized that something was wrong.

The beasts have a very strong sense of territory.

They almost never leave their territory unless absolutely necessary.

unless……

They were driven out by something far more terrible.

Chen Yifan's gaze passed through the bloody battlefield before him and landed on the edge of the Gobi Desert, where yellow sand filled the sky.

Something that could instill fear in a group of level 50+ alien beasts, causing them to abandon their territorial instincts and flee their lair in a collective escape...

What could it be?

boom--!

Before the thought was even finished, the shield warrior at the very front had already collided violently with one of the strangling worms charging at the front.

The metal and the shell erupted with a deafening roar.

The level 53 shield warrior roared and activated the skill "Immovable as a Mountain," causing the tower shield to glow brightly.

"This is a tough idea! Let's all work together!"

Unfortunately, this was a hastily assembled team of dozens of people with ulterior motives, and no one was willing to risk their lives for others.

"Snap!"

A sharp, teeth-grinding crack.

The shield warrior's tower shield was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks under the absolute power.

The next second, he was blasted away by an irresistible force.

The body is still in mid-air.

Without warning, a black-armored worm burst forth from the yellow sand beneath the ranks, and with its winch-like mandibles, swallowed the shield warrior who had been blasted away, along with those who had not had time to dodge.

"Quickly! Scatter!"

The entire team was thrown into even greater panic.

This is the reality outside the safe zone.

Apart from a few truly powerful individuals, ordinary professionals are as fragile as paper when facing a group of beasts of the same level.

Meanwhile, Chen Yifan, having already been alerted by [Mind's Eye], had moved away from the place where the worm had emerged and blended in with a small group of people.

He glanced at the shadow beneath his feet.

He made thorough preparations before the team set off.

As a level 25 thief who hasn't yet changed jobs.

Throughout the entire process, he was never arrogant enough to believe that he could handle a level 50 beast.

His so-called abnormal attribute bonuses, at most, only allow him to fight against ordinary level 50 professionals.

Can it withstand alien beasts?

They don't even deserve to be offered a piece of their tooth.

His biggest trump card.

It's a max-level talent that was stolen from Bai Xiang.

【All Thoughts Return to Shadow】

With the help of his innate abilities [Shadow Transformation] and [Shadow Return].

All the shadows are his safe zone.

Moreover, as long as one shadow clone exists, he will not die.

To date, he has created more than 40 shadow clones.

This is the fundamental reason why he dared to come here and compete with the wolves for food.

"Mage group! Slow down! Control!"

At that moment, the lone wolf's roar rang out again.

Several mages hastily chanted, unleashing spells with slowing and binding effects upon the black-armored strangling worms.

However, the results were minimal.

The worm's enormous body rampaged through the sand.

Each drift can easily break the bones of one or two professionals.

Between the opening and closing of its mouthparts, a living person, along with their equipment, is chewed into bits and pieces.

The scene was a one-sided massacre.

"Damn it! A bunch of rabble!"

The rattlesnake spat, its body shifting erratically between the worm's attacks, and flicked its short whip, sending streaks of pink light into the worm's body.

The worm let out a roar, its enormous head suddenly turning around to attack its own kind.

"Boss, we're bound to be affected by this sooner or later!"

As he spoke, Luo Tian pulled out a few metal balls from his tattered backpack and threw them out.

The metal sphere exploded in mid-air, forming a crackling psionic grid that froze several worms attacking him for three seconds.

Using those three seconds, Luo Tian managed to escape in a sorry state.

This tech geek is truly something else.

"Their weak point is on their bellies! That's where their carapace is thinnest! But you can't hit them at all!" a hunter roared in despair.

"Unless... we can get them to lift their bodies up!"

The massacre continues.

The lone wolf in the distance finally stopped standing by and watching.

"Everyone, move towards me! Prepare to break out!"

He pulled out a fist-sized bead from his pocket, its core crackling with violent lightning.

S-rank item, [Thunderstorm Core]

"What...what is he trying to do?!"

The moment Luo Tian saw the bead, his voice changed.

Without a second thought, he dashed toward the lone wolf.

At the same time, he roared at Chen Yifan through a miniature communicator:

"Quickly, get within 20 meters of the lone wolf!"

However, Chen Yifan did not move.

The lone wolf lifted the core of the thunderstorm high, frantically pouring his psionic energy into it without reservation!

Boom—!

The sky suddenly darkened, thick dark clouds gathered out of nowhere, and streaks of silver snakes darted wildly through the clouds.

A destructive aura instantly locked onto the entire battlefield.

"Indiscriminate attack!"

The lone wolf grinned, revealing a crazed and cruel smile.

"Those who run slowly, well, they're just unlucky!"

These words sent a chill down the spines of every team member who was fighting a bloody battle.

Indiscriminate attack?

This madman is going to blow them all up here!
