Chapter 1479 Counterattack

"Hmm?" Faced with the rebounded attack, Liu Sanfeng was immediately surprised, but he still had time to react.

He moved swiftly under his feet, his body shifted to the side, dodging the reversed Yan Qiang (Flame Spear).

"Phew... that was close." Liu Sanfeng thought to himself, "Looks like he has some strength..." At this point, he still hadn't realized that something was wrong. In the short time he took to reorganize his posture, he was still planning his counterattack. "Looks like the other party specializes in Ling Shu (Spirit Arts) skills... then I'll switch to close combat..."

His idea was ultimately too naive, or rather... he was overthinking it.

The next second, just as he had not yet gained a firm foothold, Li Ruoyu's figure had already arrived behind him.

Liu Sanfeng didn't see how the other party moved at all, because the speeds and reactions of the two were not on the same level.

When the sword edge carrying the aura of death touched the back of Liu Sanfeng's neck, he realized... that he was the one who couldn't see the gap in strength.

…………

A minute later, at another location in the ruins...

"What's going on?" Xiaoxue Gou (Elementary School Dog) quickly noticed the death of his teammate through the team bar, which made him extremely surprised. "Liu Sanfeng is actually dead... what did he encounter?"

"Captain!" Two seconds later, Gu Du Xiao Ge (Lonely Bro), a few meters away, also shouted to Gou Ge (Dog Bro), "Look at the team bar quickly!"

"I saw it..." Xiaoxue Gou replied, "Liu Sanfeng is dead..."

"Captain..." Gu Du seemed to have fallen into despair. The situation in front of them was terrible. "At this rate... we're afraid..."

"Don't panic... let me think." Xiaoxue Gou forced himself to remain calm, and replied.

"Okay..." Gu Du Xiao Ge could only respond like this.

At this time, both of them were actually in a state of chaos. The only difference was... as the captain, Xiaoxue Gou couldn't collapse. Even if he really had no way out, he had to pretend that he could still do something in front of his teammates...

Two hundred meters away from them, Xiao Ling, who had re-selected a shooting point, seemed particularly relaxed at the moment, because Hua Jian's figure had appeared in her sight.

"Here he comes..." Xiao Ling muttered to herself after seeing Hua Jian, "But... where did elder sister go..."

It didn't take long for Hua Jian to find Xiao Ling's location and quickly approached. Although Xiaoxue Gou and Xiang Ni Shi Zui Gu Du (Lonely When I Miss You) noticed Hua Jian's whereabouts, they couldn't step forward to stop the two members of Hell Front from meeting due to Xiao Ling's firepower deterrence.

"Xiao Ling, are you okay?" Hua Jian immediately asked after arriving beside Xiao Ling. As a medical specialist player, the first thing she thought of was whether her teammate needed treatment.

"I'm fine." Xiao Ling replied. "Not a scratch." When she said this, her eyes never left the enemy's cover, and the gun in her hand was held steadily. "However, one on the other side is already dead, and two others are hiding over there... and there's a 'fourth person'... his whereabouts are unknown."

"As for the fourth person... Ruoyu and I saw him on the way here." Hua Jian quickly digested the information while listening to Xiao Ling's words, and she quickly added, "Ruoyu should be fighting him now."

"Oh?" Xiao Ling was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then... she chuckled, "Heh... then I'm relieved." She asked another question, "How long ago did you encounter that fourth person?"

"About five minutes ago." Hua Jian replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ling shouted loudly in the front direction, "Hey—the teammate of yours at another place has already died, right? It's futile to wait any longer."

Xiao Ling's speed of "collecting information," "analyzing it," and then "making predictions and plans" was extremely fast. When she heard the sentence "Ruoyu should be fighting him now," the "fourth person" of the Yumi Guozi (Corn Kernel) team... was already a dead man in Xiao Ling's mind. Because she believed that Ruoyu was almost invincible in a one-on-one battle.

Perhaps her idea has a certain degree of subjectivity, or it is a bit arrogant. But judging from later stories... this is indeed the fact.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Ling asked about the time again. She estimated that... it would take Ruoyu one to three minutes to kill someone in a one-on-one fight. Now that five minutes had passed, the other party must be dead.

At this time, they should make good use of this point and use words to stimulate their opponents. On the one hand, they can create the illusion that "we know everything on this side;" on the other hand, it can also have a mocking effect...

With a two-pronged approach, the opponent's emotions can easily be affected, and it is possible to come out to their deaths with a "gambler's mentality."

"Captain... they..." On the other side, Gu Du Xiao Ge was indeed fooled, and he looked at Xiaoxue Gou in a panic, hesitant to speak.

"I understand..." Xiaoxue Gou said in a deep voice, "But... we can't be impulsive..." He paused and added, "We must stay calm. The current situation may not be unfavorable to us..." He gestured with his eyes in the direction of the enemy and lowered his voice. "Think about it carefully... only one person ambushed us at the beginning. And now, only one person came after seeing the signal flare. What does this mean?" This was obviously a rhetorical question, asking and answering himself. "In my opinion, the situation is very likely... Sanfeng encountered the other three members of the enemy team on the way to this place, and he exchanged his life for two of the opponent's heads..."

"Is... is that so..." After hearing this, Gu Du Xiao Ge really calmed down.

"That's right... it must be like this." Xiaoxue Gou was quite confident in his own reasoning. "Otherwise, how could only one person come?" The more he said, the more excited he became. "Now, that shooting specialist is using words to provoke us... This makes me even more certain... that the other party only has two people left. The ones who are really anxious are them... so they chose to bluff."

"That's right!" Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Gu Du Xiao Ge believed it anyway. "I almost fell for it again."

"Hmph..." Gou Ge snorted coldly, "I basically figured it out too. The guy who ambushed us is probably the captain of the enemy team. He is the strongest in terms of both strength and intelligence... We did lose one person because of her ambush. But..." He changed his tone, "The gap of 'one head' no longer exists. We are now two against two. Except for a slight loss of survival points, there is no big disadvantage. Besides... the teammate who came to support her may have been injured by Sanfeng?"

After his calculation, it seemed that they had a slight advantage...

"Um..." Gu Du continued, "As expected of the captain, I almost lost my composure..."

"Heh... it's okay." Gou Ge smiled. "Listen to me and stay calm. Both of us are martial arts specialist players. Once we get close, the guy on the other side who plays shooting is no match at all. What we have to do now... is to keep dragging it out and see who can drag it out longer. Once the other party loses patience and attacks first, our opportunity will come."

…………

Leaving aside what kind of results Xiaoxue Gou's god-like analysis of the battle situation and tactical thinking eventually brought them, let's take a look at Xiaotan's situation.

After looking at the Tupa Lei Song Zhi Yan (Eye of Tupa Leisong) for a long time, Xiaotan still couldn't figure out anything.

"Old man, I've observed it at many different points in time, but..." Xiaotan said, already shifting his gaze away from the giant eye, "Since the goddess descended the divine punishment, her 'past' has disappeared."

"I know that..." Tupa Lei Song replied.

"Huh?" Xiaotan was stunned when he heard this.

"If I could directly see that kind of 'past'..." Tupa Lei Song continued, "I would have found the goddess long ago."

What he said was right. If he could directly see those things from the giant eye, why would he need others to help?

"Eh? Then what do you want me to see?" Xiaotan asked again.

"I want you to write down what you just saw, and then..." Tupa Lei Song replied, "Go and look at the Amos Suosi Zhi Yan (Eye of Amos Suosi)."

"Oh... I see, looking for it by comparing the 'past' and the 'present'..." Feng Bujue muttered from the side.

"Uh..." Xiaotan didn't understand again. "Old man... you should have seen that 'Eye of Amos Suosi' many times, right?"

"No..." Tupa Lei Song replied, "The three of us brothers can only look at the eye that 'we are guarding', but you... don't have this restriction. As long as you can withstand the intertwined mental impact, you can..."

"Hey hey hey..." Xiaotan interrupted the other party and repeated the keyword, "Intertwined mental impact?"

"It's the kind of pain you experienced before." Tupa Lei Song replied, "Don't worry, after contacting one eye, the impact of communicating with the second eye and the 'initial vision' will be much smaller. The difficulty lies in the first contact. If you're unlucky... you will directly experience mental breakdown or death."

"Hey!" Xiaotan was shocked. "You should have told me about this before I looked at it!"

"What a fool... would you still look if I told you?" Feng Bujue laughed from the side.

Objectively speaking, Jue Ge (Lord Jue) thought that Tupa Lei Song's approach was very correct, but rationally, he was naturally on Xiaotan's side.

"Young man, you are not an ordinary person. I believe you can do it... that's why I brought you back to the temple." Tupa Lei Song's answer sounded pleasant to the ear, but upon closer inspection... it was a rogue act of gambling with other people's lives.

"Forget it, forget it..." Xiaotan still had a good temper. "Anyway, I survived..."

Xiaotan really didn't want to cause trouble, because these NPCs looked quite strong. If he created a hostile situation, it wouldn't do him any good; it wouldn't be a good thing for the teammates in the ruins either.

"Then... please come with me." Tupa Lei Song said, "Amos Suosi is already waiting for you at the entrance of another stone room..."
