Chapter 1708: Passageway
The other two thieves launched Shadow Attack directly, one appearing behind the Serpent Woman, and the other behind the Succubus.
These two thieves were naturally experts and knew that Li Yao was the core, but unfortunately, the space around Li Yao was too small, making it impossible for them to use Shadow Strike to get close to Li Yao.
They could only settle for trying to deal with the Serpent Woman, who seemed more like a support, either by killing or controlling her, while trying to Charm and control the Succubus naturally.
Furthermore, in conventional understanding, Succubi are fragile, making them easy to kill.
Their original plan was to wait for Li Yao and his group to approach, let their teammates ambushing in the distance make their move first, while they would lie in wait for the right opportunity.
They had considered the possibility of being discovered, but they hadn’t anticipated Li Yao’s reaction to be so swift, quick enough to kill one of their teammates.
However, Li Yao’s Thunder Strike had scared them out of their wits, realizing that had they been a little slower, they would have suffered the same fate as their friend, being shot through with an arrow in an instant.
Thieves in stealth are terrifying, but once discovered, their threat level drops significantly.
Especially since the thieves hadn’t had time to gauge the strength of this group, they didn’t know what kind of opponents they would face.
They only relied on their keen intuition and mutual understanding to launch an attack in that instant.
