Chapter 605 The Master Key of the Thief God

“1.”

“1…”

…

A series of 1s were typed.

However, compared to the number of people in the entire group chat, the number of responders was still a small number.

“7 stars, that’s not something that ordinary people can participate in…” Someone left a message, which also represented the thoughts of the vast majority of people in the group.

The ‘ordinary people’ mentioned here do not really refer to ordinary players, but to the ‘ordinary people’ in this group chat.

You should know that this group chat is composed of the leaders of the major forces in Dawn City, representing the most elite players in Dawn City.

Even so, if you want to fight against a 7-star creature, more than 70% of them are instantly excluded.

After all, when the 6-star Wetland Enchantress was attacked, only the city lords with divine skins could participate. The star level gap was too large, and ordinary players would just be sent to the battlefield.

"We don't need too many people, 30 or 40 will do, and it's best if they are all experts with self-protection ability." Mu You also knew this truth, and he limited the number of people. There was no need for ordinary elite players to come here to die. If they die once, they will have to stay in the city for a whole week, which will hurt their development rhythm.

"Our team should be able to go, where is it?" asked a member of the Dragon Group.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask." Mu You said.

"???"

Everyone was confused, who to ask?

At this time, Mu You had returned to the game.

["Where is the thing you want to do?" You looked at the bandit leader and asked. ]

["Don't worry, it's not in the tribe..." The one-eyed bandit said, shook his head and looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to you, he secretly waved to you, moved to the corner, left a sentence "Follow me", and flew into the sky. ]

[Do you want to follow? ]

"Yes."

The sparrow man form formed by Mu You also has the ability to fly, and it will not be affected by the no-fly zone here.

[You follow the other party and take off, chasing the bandit leader...]

[You notice that after the bandit leader takes off, he changes direction from time to time in the sky, taking you around in the clouds...]

Obviously, the place where the bandit wants to take him is quite private, and the other party does not intend to let anyone know, so he is so careful to prevent tracking.

As for Mu You... Anyway, he will be killed by it after the matter is completed, and no news will be spread.

It's a pity that it doesn't know that Mu You is a fool, and fools can communicate with each other. It is equivalent to carrying the largest monitor with it. Mu You can pass on their every move to thousands of players at any time through the Internet.

The bandit took him flying in the clouds for nearly half an hour before finally landing.

[You landed in a steep valley two hundred miles north of the Crow Tribe...]

"North, steep valley..."

Mu You immediately searched on a printed strategy map at hand.

This is a rough map of the Dawn City surrounding area made by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon based on the feedback from players. As the progress of the development progresses, the map is also being updated in real time.

Mu You scanned the northern area and quickly confirmed a location.

"In the thin line of sky." Mu You announced this information in the group.

"The thin line of sky, then I'm not far away, I can get there within an hour."

"I'll go now..."

...

The top players in the group who had already prepared began to act.

"You guys come too." Mu You looked at the two clones at home.

"Linglong, remember to call Xiaoxue and Xiaoya, and the night watchmen will go to the Crow Tribe to find the bone dragon and act together."

At present, only Mu You and Lin Xue have the divine skin in Dawn City. This time to deal with a 7-star creature, Lin Xue must be there, in addition to the scorpion lion and the bone dragon.

If they just wanted to injure and repel the bandit leader, they wouldn't have to mobilize so many troops. He could just bring the scorpion lion and the bone dragon to do it. But their goal was to kill the other party on the spot in a short time, not giving them a chance to escape or send a message. This requirement was relatively high, and it wouldn't hurt to have more people.

"Gather outside the valley after you come. Don't enter the valley yet. Wait for my instructions. This person is very cautious." Mu You reminded him.

In the game, after the bandit brought Mu You to this valley, he didn't go directly to the target location, but circled around the valley irregularly for a whole hour. Only after confirming that there was no follower behind him did he finally start to do his business. It can be seen how cautious this person is.

But it's good that this is the case. It just gives them time to gather.

At this moment, outside the valley, two clones, the bone dragon and the scorpion lion, and more than 40 top players have gathered and used Lu Yao's relics to hide their breath, so even if the bandit was so cautious, they couldn't find them.

"Everyone is here. Do you want to do it?" Linglong looked up and asked.

"No hurry, let's see what this guy wants to do first..." Mu You shook his head. He had been led so far by this guy, it would be a pity if he didn't figure out his purpose.

["Follow me!" After the one-eyed bandit leader confirmed that there was no one around, he motioned for you to follow him and walked forward first. ]

[You followed closely behind, followed the bandits all the way to the depths of the valley, and entered a narrow cave. ]

[You noticed that the entrance of this cave had traces of being dug by humans. ]

[After walking a distance in the dark and winding cave, the space in front suddenly opened up. ]

[You entered a larger cave, which was empty. Only on the stone wall at the end of the cave was a terrifying stone sculpture of a beast's face. ]

[This animal-faced stone sculpture has a green face and fangs, and its hair is as red as blood. There are three eyes on its forehead, two of which are closed, and the only open eye has turned gray and white, as if it is blind. ]

[The whole face protrudes from the wall, and the mouth is wide open, revealing two rows of sharp bloody teeth and a dark "throat". ]

[When you approach the stone statue, you suddenly feel a breath that seems to be a god, but it is not any god you have seen. ]

"God?" Mu You was stunned.

Is there a god hidden in this cave?

[You see some blurred words carved on the side of the animal-faced statue, but the first line of words has been scraped off by humans, leaving only the instructions below the second line. ]

[Do you want my treasure? Then reach in, my legacy is hidden in the ‘throat of the beast’, if you want it, steal it yourself...】

[...But remember, you only have three chances, don’t be greedy, every time you fail, you will disturb the sleeping beast face, one of its eyes will open, and at the same time permanently take away the vision of one of your eyes, once all three chances are used up, the beast’s mouth will completely close, take away your arm forever, and the beast face will disappear forever! 】

[Hehe, this is a gamble specially prepared for thieves, those who are willing to take the bait...】

“…”

Mu You frowned.

So this is the legacy left by a god?

The first line should be the description of the god’s identity, but it was scraped off by the other party.

However, the god who would set up such a vicious test would definitely not be a lawful god, but most likely a chaotic god, and a god with a bad personality.

[You ask the bandit leader what the beast face in front of you is? 】

【"Don't worry about what it is, just reach in and steal the hidden treasure inside... But remember, you only have two chances, and the anti-theft level of this beast face is god-level, which is no less difficult than stealing Kunpeng, and if the theft fails, you will immediately lose an eye!" The one-eyed bandit said seriously. 】

"..."

Good guy, the three chances agreed upon, but it was reduced to two by you, and this bandit happened to be a 'one-eyed bandit'... Mu You quickly figured out the cause and effect.

Obviously, this place should be the burial place of a certain god.

The bandit leader accidentally discovered this burial place one day, and learned the identity of this god from the inscriptions on the mountain wall. He was overjoyed and couldn't wait to reach in and steal the treasure.

Unfortunately, it overestimated its own strength, failed in the first theft, wasted an opportunity, and lost an eye at the same time.

The bandit leader knew that his stealing power was insufficient at that time, so he didn't dare to try again. He could only lie dormant in the nearby Crow Tribe and wait until his strength was improved to a sufficient level before trying again.

Until he met Mu You a few days ago, he knew that the opportunity had come!

That's why the other party taught him stealing skills so wholeheartedly, just to let him improve his stealing ability as much as possible, and then help take out the treasure here.

["Are you ready? Get ready and start!" The bandit leader saw that you were slow to move and urged you. You choose...]

[Steal with your hand: You are also curious about what treasure is hidden in this cave. ]

[Take the opportunity to attack: You have already learned the other party's purpose, so you don't have to pretend to be with the other party, it's better to take action directly. ]

Two long options, Mu You thought for half a second and decisively chose "Steal with your hand".

The reason why he didn't rush to turn against this bandit was because the other party had another stealing skill that he hadn't taught him. Mu You thought he had no chance to learn it, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was moved and thought of a way.

[Under the bandit's expectant and anxious eyes, you walked in front of the beast face and carefully inserted your right arm into the beast face's bloody mouth until your entire arm was submerged in the beast face's throat...]

[Stealing...]

[The theft failed, the beast face in front of you suddenly opened its left eye and stared at you. You instantly felt a severe burning pain in your left eye and lost your left eye's vision in just a few seconds...]

"Retrace..."

The next moment was another chance-based moment, but after a long period of pocket watch retrospection, Mu You had become accustomed to it and silently began to trace back...

[The theft was successful!]

Mu You was stunned. He didn't know whether the difficulty of this trap was not as high as he imagined, or whether he was just lucky once. In short, this theft was not carried out hundreds of thousands of times as imagined. After only 20,000 times, it was successful for the first time!

[You felt your palm reaching into a strange space. On the cold ground, a metal key-shaped object was casually discarded among a pile of rocks. There was nothing else. ]

[You hold the key and carefully withdraw your arm from the beast's mouth. ]

[You have obtained the 'Master Key of the God of Thieves'. ]

[Master Key: A divine artifact made by the God of Thieves, a key that can theoretically pry open all locks, is the treasure that all thieves dream of. ]

"God of Thieves?" Mu You raised his eyebrows.

It turns out that the god buried here is the God of Thieves. No wonder the bandit leader is so eager. Even after losing an eye, he still misses this place. This is a professional match...

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and finally confirmed the owner of this tomb.

However, he did not end the theft with the key, but pressed the watch again and sent the key back.

After going back tens of thousands of times, the success prompt popped up again. This time, Mu You was finally sure that the difficulty of this trap was not as high as Kunpeng.

[The theft was successful! ]

[You took the things you touched and carefully took your arm back from the beast's mouth. ]

[Seeing that you successfully completed the theft, and the beast's face did not open its eyes, the bandit leader was overjoyed and rushed to you, trying to snatch the things you took out: "Success? What did you steal? Give it to me!" ]

[You did not resist and handed the things you touched to the other party. ]

[The bandit leader looked at the cold stone in his hand, first excitedly looked at it repeatedly for several weeks, and his face soon solidified: This seems to be just an ordinary piece of gravel... ]

["What's the matter? Where is my treasure?" The bandit leader's eyes were bloodshot, and he immediately grabbed you and asked. ]

["There is no treasure, only stones inside." You said. 】

【"Impossible! This is impossible... I have lost an eye, and I have wasted hundreds of years here... How can there be no treasure here..." The bandit shook his head and roared unwillingly. 】

【"Or maybe the treasure is hidden in a deeper place, but I can't reach it..." You suddenly said. 】

【"Can't reach it?" The bandit widened his eyes, hurriedly looked at your arm, and then looked at the bottomless throat of the beast on the stone wall. 】

【"Yes, your theft range must be insufficient... The clues hidden by that kind of person are destined to be found by only the top thieves like me, and how can the top thieves not have the ability to steal remotely... Yes, it must be like this..." The bandit leader muttered to himself, and suddenly looked up at you. 】

【"Learn it now! I will teach you the 'invisible hand' now!" The bandit leader said in an unquestionable tone. 】

Looking at this text, Mu You smiled. Sure enough, the trick was successful.

After the ups and downs, this guy obviously lost his mind. He no longer cared about the possibility of Mu You's betrayal and began to actively chase him to teach him the art of stealing.

However, in order to put on a full show, Mu You had to refuse first.

["Learn now? Right here?" You seemed a little hesitant. ]

["Yes, right here! You must learn as quickly as possible! Watch carefully..." The bandit leader urged, and took the initiative to extend his hand and began to show you the details of the 'invisible hand'... ]

[At a close distance, you saw the bandit's every move, and you felt something in your heart... ]

[Your understanding of the 'invisible hand' has increased by 0.01%... ]

"Retrace..."

[...Your understanding of the 'invisible hand' has increased by 0.01%... ]

...

This bandit couldn't wait to demonstrate it actively, so the next step would be easy.

It was just a few tens of thousands of times of retracing. Mu You didn't need it to demonstrate a second time. He could get it done in this one time.

[Your understanding of the ‘Invisible Hand’ has reached 100%. ]

[You have learned the ‘Invisible Hand’…]
