Quest: Escort of supplies (4)

"Let's keep walking. It will be troublesome if more assassins arrive" Bulldog told the others, who had just woken up from the commotion.

"There are no more assassins, they are the same as before" Wang Cai looked more closely at the group before concluding.

"Why do you say that?" The group didn't understand the reason for his statement.

"Just think about the quest. Players are accepting two separate quests, but what happens if one side has a lot more players than the other? "

"The quest with the most players would be more likely to be completed. If there are more thieves than couriers, the quest will always fail. The system cannot allow for something like that. The same is true if there are more couriers than thieves, but this option is more valid because there are many traps and creatures along the roads that can disturb the advance of supplies." Someone came to the same conclusion.

The system would never allow an impossible quest to be completed. It wouldn't be fair to the players.

But the quest can be very difficult to complete.

"I think the estimated number of players hired by the bandits is about ten" Wang Cai knew the ratio was ten to five.

Ten couriers and five thieves.

In the previous life, thieves didn't stay in this part of the mountain to ambush, but in the final areas, because there were so many dangerous traps, it was better to stay there and make hidden attacks to kill the couriers.

The group packed up and continued on their journey.

Wang Cai didn't need much sleep because he had the Perseverance passive skill, which extends the time without needing to do things like sleep, eat, and rest.

The climb up the mountain started to get very dangerous because the wide road started to narrow until it became a thin road where only one foot could be used.

So they had to stand with their backs or face to the wall.

It was not possible to walk normally as before.

So how were they going to push the cart with the supplies?

Wang Cai suggested that the five of them tie the heavy box with the supplies in their hands with a rope and carry it down the road together.

As it was not possible to store the box, they had to carry it somehow.

The Bulldogs and Silva were at both ends. The two players with the highest STR attribute of all. Then it was the mage's turn, then the healer.

Wang Cai didn't need to be tied to the box because he would go ahead as a scout again, but he still needed to be tied to the other group members to help with the walk.

The distance between them can be up to ten meters.

An assassin like him had the quickest agility and reaction among the four. So any problem, he can get out alive.

Buffs were cast to increase strength and agility.

The two tanks removed their sword and heavy shield so they wouldn't get in the way when walking.

"Are you ready?" Bulldog asked, but a slight edge of anxiety could be felt in his words.

Unlike fighting the creatures, walking the thin, fragile road was far more deadly. Just one wrong step and everyone could die.

So the pressure was too great.

"Yea."

"Let's get started"

The supply box was slowly lowered down, four ropes were tied to the box, the weight was great but enough for only Bulldog and Silva to carry, to reduce the pressure on them, Bing and Cobra also helped.

Wang Cai was the first to walk down the road, his back was glued to the wall, and a rope was tied to him.

Then the Bulldog walked.

As the box was already being suspended in the air, the sudden drop of the supply box was not felt.

Then it was Bing and Cobra's turn, lastly, it was Silva's turn.

"Did you get it?"

"Yea. The box can be heavy, but the combination of all of them is enough so that there are no problems.

"It's all right. I will start walking." Wang Cai slowly walked to the side, the others followed suit.

The speed was slow, but the distance to the other side wasn't too great either, about twenty meters, but it was the longest twenty meters anyone had ever walked.

"Wait" Wang Cai raised his hand to signal the stop.

"Did something happen?"

The group only walked ten meters, but there was already some danger.

"That." He stomped on the stone floor with a little more force.

crack!!! crack!!! crack!!!

The little narrow road collapsed like a house of cards from that spot and went up to two meters away.

"..." The situation was worse than they thought.

Wang Cai knew there was a trap there.

"We need to go up." Looking up, they saw that there was another narrow stone road, but it was ten feet high above them.

"How are we going to go up? There is a very heavy weight in our hands and it will be difficult to climb using only one hand."

"The only way to go on is to tie the supply box around your waist. Then you can use both hands to climb up before holding the rope again" Wang Cai proposed. He looked like the group's counselor.

"..." The two tanks felt a big headache. They were the ones with the most points in the STR attribute, so they had to do it.

Wang Cai could also help, but he preferred to keep his profile low.

The other two just need to stay the way they are and be pulled up.

Wang Cai helped Bulldog tie the rope around his waist, before climbing up by driving the daggers into the holes in the mountain wall.

Looking more closely, it could see holes in several areas to the top, but it was just spread over this part of the mountain.

Whenever there was a challenge, the solution was close by.

Wang Cai got down on the other side and also helped the other three to tie the rope around their waists.

"These holes are small, but my hands are big and don't fit. I need to go up using two weapons"

"Are you ready?" Wang Cai stood in the center to pull the supply box as it was easier than standing to the side.

"Yea. Cobra, Silva, Bing, we need to go up together at the same time. This will make life easier for others"

"ROGER"

"Let's get started"

The first step has been taken.

Bulldog was the first, but he felt a much greater weight on his body than before. But it was quickly reduced when the others also went up.

The success of this mission depends completely on others.

Wang Cai stayed on top and kept pulling up with all his might to make things a little easier.

But suddenly…

"WATCH OUT!!!!" He screamed with all his might.
