My heart skipped a beat when I heard the noises. Fuck! Someone just had to climb up the third floor right before we began the boss battle!

Swhoosh!

Lin Yixin was an intelligent girl, so she knew that we couldn’t possibly defeat the boss before the newcomers made it to us. She swiftly returned to my side and stared at the entrance to the third floor.

I grabbed Lin Yixin’s arm and pulled her into a recess at the edge of the corridor. We could still see outside, but not the other way around.

“Wouldn’t they be able to spot us?” Lin Yixin asked while looking up at me.

“Impossible!” I shook my head without hesitation. “I checked this area carefully when we cleared out the mobs just now. There’s no way they can see us unless they get within 5 yards, and our levels are so high there are only a few players that would have us appear on their map!”

“Okay!”

Lin Yixin relaxed and crouched slightly. She put her hands on her knees, raised her bum a little and put all her concentration on the newcomers’ movements.

Lin Yixin was watching the scenery outside, but to me, she was the scenery.

……

A group of people entered the main hall after a series of rustling noises.

“It’s them!?”

Lin...
