Hu Die Lan
Chapter 838 Holding Back
The Dou Qing bowl was also fierce. Seeing that it was extremely difficult to break through the warrior's obstacle, at the instant of rushing out, he simply unleashed a spell, preparing to chant a series of fireballs. At such close range, the damage both sides would suffer after his enhanced version of the series of fireballs exploded wouldn't be too different. Warriors had high health, but mages had high magic defense. It was hard to say who would fall first under the same spell damage. But no matter what, this was a lose-lose tactic, with a high probability of mutual destruction. Dou Qing bowl had learned this trick from martial arts novels. He was basically going to die anyway, so he used a trick to die together with his opponent. Often, the opponent would cherish their life and dodge, so he often gained the upper hand because of this.
This trick was indeed quite useful in online games. After all, everyone cherished their level the most. Hardly anyone had such a spirit of sacrifice as to give up a level of their own to kill someone else. But online games were also different from martial arts novels in one point. At least at this time, there was a priest in the opponent's camp helping to replenish health, while beside Dou Qing bowl was Liu Lan, who was also being roasted and whose life was hanging by a thread like him.
Therefore, the warrior didn't dodge at all. Dou Qing bowl's spell was chanted, and the warrior also raised his hand, slapping the shield directly on Dou Qing bowl's forehead with a wave. The difference in strength between a warrior and a mage was at two extremes. Smashing down so desperately, there was no suspense that the mage would be sent flying.
Dou Qing bowl was sent flying by the warrior in such a dashing manner. This kind of fighting method that showed strength really made the warrior look very mighty, but in fact, experienced warriors in real PK rarely did this. Because warriors were slow, very slow, and the speed of movement in the game was also related to added attribute points and equipment. This setting, which had always been controversial, led to the fact that if a warrior really knocked someone flying like this in a PK, and the other person stood up and ran away, then nine times out of ten they would not be able to catch up.
Warriors had to work very, very hard to seize the opportunity for close combat with people. They couldn't cherish it enough, so actively knocking people flying to create distance meant that they didn't want to kill the opponent.
But of course, the situation was different at this time. Once Dou Qing bowl was knocked flying, he flew directly back into the drifting flames. Drifting originally thought that the two had already rushed out of the sea of fire and would be handed over to others to solve, so he was preparing to extinguish the spell. Suddenly, he saw Dou Qing bowl being sent back again, so he had no choice but to reluctantly add more fire. Dou Qing bowl's health was already low. He lost some more from the warrior's slap, and after entering the sea of fire again and being roasted, he finally turned into white light before he could do anything. The power of his series of fireballs immediately disappeared completely after his death. Although the warrior was a little horrified by the explosion, he didn't care about it after it stopped.
However, Dou Qing bowl's death had some additional value besides this. Because he and the warrior had a round of fighting, Liu Lan, whose figure was fast, seized the opportunity to pass by the warrior. As long as he could break through this layer of obstruction, with the moving speed of the fourteenth archer on the archer rankings, his chances of running away would greatly increase.
But Liu Lan didn't expect that he ran past the warrior, but suddenly a stick stretched out from the side and hooked onto his foot. Liu Lan couldn't dodge in time. Although he didn't fall immediately, he was tripped and staggered. Glancing sideways, he saw a priest squatting behind the warrior. This stick was the priest extending his staff.
This trip didn't do any damage, but Liu Lan knew that because of this trip, he had completely lost the chance to escape. A strong wind brushed his face, and a fist had already flown in front of him. Liu Lan's staggering body was hit and continued to stagger, crookedly crashing into the wall. Liu Lan had no time to make any adjustments. The opponent's attack had already connected quickly. Such a strong connection of attacks was of course a fighter in the game.
Zuoshou Xieai finished him off in a few strokes. Liu Lan, who didn't have much health left, was also solidly killed.
The six people breathed a sigh of relief after the two were successfully eliminated. The battle was not as simple as it looked, and there were many dangers in the middle. Especially Dou Qing bowl's enhanced version of the series of fireballs was quite strange. If he hadn't fallen into Drifting's flames and died quickly, Jiannan You was very suspicious of what that series of fireballs would have blown him into. Judging from the speed at which his health was dropping at the time, Jiannan You didn't know if the Daoxiang Mu behind him could have saved him.
The warrior was Jiannan You, and the priest was Daoxiang Mu. The fighter and archer were of course Zuoshou Xieai and Youshou Xie Shuai. As for the thief, he was just a random guy from the Ten Guild Alliance who followed the team to recognize people. He also wanted to jump forward actively during the battle, but the result was that he couldn't get involved at all. The thinking of these top experts was fast, and the changes were fast. When a guy of his level was still thinking about what to do next, people didn't even know what round they were fighting in.
"How are you?" Drifting, of course, put away his spell at this time and asked Jiannan You. He saw that Jiannan You's face was different after being hit by that series of fireballs. He had long felt that there was something strange about that spell, and he was quite interested as he was surrounded by mages.
"Almost..." Jiannan You was also a little scared, "It's more powerful than the average series of fireballs, and the duration is longer. If it continues to explode like this, one priest can't offset the damage."
"As expected, there's still something to it," Drifting said.
"Didn't you used to hang out with them? Do you recognize them?" Jiannan You asked.
Drifting shook his head, "It's been too long since I've seen them. I don't have much of an impression, but I should be able to recognize their old leader, Ying Yang." Drifting traveled all over the place and met people like a fleeting glance, so the result was naturally that more people knew him than he knew.
At this time, Daoxiang Mu behind Jiannan You drilled out and quickly rushed to the places where the two guys died and disappeared with agility that didn't match the priest's skills, almost scraping the ground to check. But the result was disappointing, "So unlucky, nothing dropped."
His bad luck was the greatest luck for Qing Dou bowl and Liu Lan. They both had PK values, so they were bound to lose two levels after dying. As soon as they appeared at the resurrection point, they immediately checked their equipment. Not dropping equipment was the only consolation. After that, they reported this bad news to Yongyuan.
Yongyuan knew that the two had encountered trouble when he didn't receive a reply from them to the previous message. After that, he immediately reminded the others that if they found that the opponent had similar actions, they should not hesitate and teleport away immediately. Then he waited for the news from the two, hoping that the two could have a chance to escape. At this time, he finally received a reply from the two, but the result was that they both died. He had no choice but to sigh regretfully.
To be honest, Yongyuan didn't expect that there would be no sacrifices at all when using thirty people to fight against the Ten Guild Alliance's four thousand or so people. However, he always hoped that the losses would be minimized. After a day of tossing and turning, even after a fierce battle with Yunzhong Mu's so formidable team, not a single person had died. Yongyuan was really quite satisfied. Who would have thought that a moment of carelessness would cause the two to lose two levels each at this time?
He didn't know anything about the opponent's large-scale operation beforehand. When Yongyuan was waiting for news from the two, he asked the informant he had bribed for information. As a result, several informants said stupidly that nothing was happening. Yongyuan asked them what they were doing. The result was that they were near the warrior camp, but they said they were helping the guild with tasks.
Yongyuan was now clear in his heart. The other party's arrangement was thorough this time, and their actions were swift. By the time they noticed it, it was too late to remedy it. Seeing this situation, Yongyuan quickly gave instructions to his other subordinates who were active in various areas: don't wait for any abnormality before teleporting. Hide immediately now.
The other party had obviously considered the issue of manpower, so they were proceeding area by area. Fortunately, there were only two people in the warrior camp at that time. If the other party had chosen the mage academy at the beginning, the losses would have been even greater. The Eagle Regiment had a total of five people wandering around in the mage academy. Their personnel distribution was also particular. There were seven resurrection points, but the popularity varied due to different geographical locations. Going online and offline didn't necessarily require returning to the resurrection point of one's own profession. The mage academy was the closest to the city gate leading to the leveling area, so under normal circumstances, the mage academy in Moonlit City had the largest flow of players. Therefore, this was also the key area for the Eagle Regiment to ambush.
Yongyuan couldn't see the other party's movements for a while. He temporarily withdrew the arrangement and then went to Dou Qing bowl and Liu Lan to understand the situation in detail. Dou Qing bowl and Liu Lan had directly died back to their household registration main city at this time. They took out a teleportation scroll and flew back directly. Yongyuan also didn't use walking anymore. He also used a teleportation directly. The three immediately met at the same place. Economic support was undoubtedly a great help in the game, but just flying around with teleportation scrolls, Gu Fei relied on this trick to torment Yunzhong Mu and Black-fingered Death to death. At this time, the Eagle Regiment had a big backer, so they didn't lack this prop. Moreover, this was a battle to avenge the boss. A player who was willing to spend money to support thirty people to serve him in the game would definitely not be stingy. These props were given to Yongyuan to manage before the war.
Yongyuan had already guessed the other party's arrangement. After listening to Dou Qing bowl and Liu Lan's description, it basically matched what he had expected. But when he heard that the other party was actually Drifting, his expression changed.
"Drifting? Why would he come here and help the Ten Guild Alliance?" Yongyuan didn't understand. As a player in a corner of the world, they didn't know that Drifting was also in Against the Heavens. Wu Ye carried out those actions to deal with Against the Heavens, but he didn't care about the specific strength and roles of Against the Heavens. He was just waiting for the results. He used the guild to complete the battle, so he didn't care about these things. He only knew that Against the Heavens was a guild established by Qianli Yizui and those guys. They defended the city and won in the city war. The district rewards were a lot, and the benefits were great. That was all.
"I think the Ten Guild Alliance specially hired some experts to deal with us, right?" Dou Qing bowl guessed. They fought as soon as they started, and Drifting didn't even say hello. Moreover, he looked at Drifting's eyes, and he didn't seem to recognize them either.
"There is this possibility," Yongyuan nodded and then asked in detail about the combat team members of the other party. Zuoshou Xieai and Youshou Xie Shuai were not surprising. People who knew Drifting might have a deeper impression of these two. And in that battle, in addition to Drifting, the performance of that warrior was also very eye-catching. In addition, there was also the priest hiding behind the warrior. Liu Lan's impression of him was the deepest.
"Warrior, could it be Zhan Wushang from Cloudrise City?" Yongyuan really took this kind of expert to heart.
"It shouldn't be. Zhan Wushang is a berserker, right? But that warrior was holding a shield in one hand," Dou Qing bowl said. The shield required a shield coefficient. Currently, only defense warriors had this specialty. Other professions were the same as not holding a shield even if you held it.
"Maybe they also found experts from outside," Liu Lan said.
"If that's the case, then there may be more than just these people. Maybe there are other experts," Yongyuan said.
The two were silent.
"Ying Yang, Xi San," Yongyuan was calling in their Eagle Regiment channel at this time.
"Hmm?" The two responded at the same time.
"You two go around and see what the other party's next arrangements are at several resurrection points!" Yongyuan said.
"Okay," the two responded. Both of them were thieves. Stealth reconnaissance was something that thieves often did. However, both of them were assassins. To say that the effect of stealth was stronger, it would be better to transfer to a god thief. However, the combat power of god thieves was worse than that of assassins. Currently, there were more assassin transfers in the thief class.
"Fengzheng," Yongyuan called again.
"I'm here!" Fengzheng's full name was Yifengzheng. He was the second-ranked bullman on the archer list. In addition to Yongyuan, who was the first on the knight list, he was the highest-ranked on the category list in the Eagle Regiment.
"You go to the church on Ye Guang Second Street and pay attention to whether there are any unusual team actions around," Yongyuan instructed. Before they came to Moonlit City, they had studied the terrain of Moonlit City in detail. The church on Ye Guang Second Street was not the highest, but after reaching the top floor, they could have a panoramic view of a considerable area through the windows on all sides. Yongyuan's heart was also careful. The highest place was eye-catching, and perhaps the opponent would also think of using it, so he chose such a place that was not the highest but was enough.
"What about me?" Liu Lan, who was next to Yongyuan at this time, asked. This kind of reconnaissance task was naturally the responsibility of a sharpshooter with eagle eyes. Yongyuan clicked on Yifengzheng, but he didn't call him.
"You should rest for a while first. One Fengzheng is enough," Yongyuan patted Liu Lan.
"Everyone else should rest for a while and wait for further information," Yongyuan said at the end of the channel. He then contacted the bribed inside line. He told them that as long as there were team actions in the future, no matter what they were doing, they should tell him.
The Ten Guild Alliance was of course cheering at this time, and Yunzhong Mu was excitedly beaming. He had been holding his breath for a day, and it was finally relieved. He finally raised his eyebrows in the guild, "The Eagle Regiment is a paper tiger!" Yunzhong Mu emphasized again this time with confidence. However, many people in the guild didn't even know about this operation, so Yunzhong Mu didn't say anything about their complicated arrangement. He only said that a six-person search team met two of the other party's people, so they easily took them down.
"Look, the opponent is nothing more than that. Once they are alone, they can be killed casually," Yunzhong Mu said, not mentioning what the composition of his six-person team was. In fact, there was only one person from their guild, and he didn't help the battle at all except for pointing out the people.
The guild players didn't care so much. They felt refreshed when they heard the news of the victory and asked the president to join the search team. As a result, Yunzhong Mu said righteously, "We'll take turns doing this, searching for him non-stop for twenty-four hours. The Eagle Regiment is nothing more than that. How dare they rebel!"
The guild cheered again. Yunzhong Mu soothed his emotions, returned to the wine table, and looked at the experts he had invited with great humility, "What do we do next? I think the other party is not stupid. This kind of action may only be possible once. It may be useless to change the area."
Han Jia Gongzi nodded, "However, they finally know that we have the ability to kill them. Moreover, Drifting is a member of their Eagle Regiment, and he may have been recognized by them. Since they know that there are experts coming to help us, I think they may stand still next and learn more about the situation."
"I haven't said anything about you coming to help. All the brothers who know are trustworthy," Yunzhong Mu said.
Han Jia Gongzi nodded, "Let them toss around slowly. Let's think about how to lure them out next."
"Do you have a way?" Yunzhong Mu said.
A system prompt, You Ge came online again. As the least elite person in the elite team, You Ge was dispensable in battle, so everyone entrusted him with a very important task: going offline to call Qianli to go online.
"Qianli is coming!" You Ge went offline to do this in the previous search operation.
"Oh!" This news was extremely exciting, and Yunzhong Mu rubbed his hands happily after hearing it.
"Everything will be easy when he comes? Prepare the list for him!" Han Jia Gongzi said.
Yunzhong Mu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it. Of course, he knew the special function of Gu Fei's wanted license. Gu Fei was on a wanted mission in Moonlit City yesterday. Thanks to his Yunzhong Mu's care, he provided a lot of lists!
"Great, this is really great," Yunzhong Mu grinned.
Gu Fei, of course, did things with thunderous speed. It was probably not long after he received the call. Not long after You Ge went online, the system message that Qianli Yizui went online flashed in the system message of many friends.
"Where are the experts?" Gu Fei asked as soon as he came up. Everyone already knew how You Ge had invited him.
"There are many, and they are quite difficult to deal with," the experts said seriously in the channel.
"Oh? Who has fought with them?" Gu Fei asked.
"Jiannan You and I have met two," Drifting said.
"How was it?" Gu Fei asked.
"It was very thrilling to kill them," Drifting said.
"You killed them? Then they are also experts?" Gu Fei's tone was full of disappointment, and the experts in the channel didn't like the taste.
"If you can handle it, I'll go and rest!" Gu Fei said.
The experts were speechless. Could it be that we can't handle it? That would be too hurtful to our self-esteem.
"If you didn't have that broken wanted license that can check people's coordinates, would we need to call you? Stop talking nonsense and come over here as a guide dog!" Han Jia Gongzi despised.
"Who are you looking for?" Gu Fei asked.
"Qianli should also come over and understand the ins and outs of the matter!" You Ge said. Everyone was sweating when they heard it. They hadn't even said the ins and outs of the matter, so Qianli Yizui didn't even ask why he was going to chop people and ran up excitedly. Moreover, he didn't ask why when he came up and asked where the experts were... He was really a violent maniac!
