In the forest, Lan He could almost only see the goblin merchant’s butt sticking up as it chased after Lord Grim, carrying its large sack. The other members of Tyrannical Ambition had scattered behind the trees, becoming snipers in the shadows.

This goblin merchant too, when facing ordinary players, it would jump around and throw things from its bag, how carefree was it? Why did it look so strained when facing Lord Grim now? Just now, it threw a grenade, only for Lord Grim to knock it back in mid-air, blowing up the goblin itself. It was truly an idiot. Why use a timed grenade? You should have used a triggered one!

Even so, to be able to precisely knock the thrown grenade back onto the goblin merchant's head, this Lord Grim wasn't just fast, his micro-control was also very accurate!

Lan He chased madly behind, sighing deeply.

After all, Lord Grim was fighting and running with the goblin merchant, so he couldn't maximize his speed. Lan He led his group and was quickly able to catch up. Behind them, a group of other players of various guilds steadily followed, acting as the oriole behind the mantis.

Lan He knew perfectly well what kind of people were behind him, but the lesson of the Blood Gunner was bloody. If they didn't step forward, Tyrannical Ambition would seize the opportunity.

"Qian Cheng, go around and block him," Lan He said.

"Why me?" Qian Cheng grumbled.

"You're a Battle Mage, who else would go?" Battle Mages with Chasers had superior speed.

"What about Xiao Hai!" Qian Cheng said, referring to another Battle Mage present.

"You have better skills." Lan He wasn't worried about hurting Xiao Hai's feelings. Qian Cheng's skill was universally recognized.

"In his eyes, my skill is just floating clouds," Qian Cheng said.

"How many times have you fought him?" Lan He said.

"I can't believe you can't see how terrifying his control is!" Qian Cheng said.

"Alright, stop blocking. We've already caught up." Lei Mingdian Guang complained. While these two were arguing, the goblin merchant had already entered his range. Lei Mingdian Guang stepped forward and cast the spell Flame Impact.

It wasn't easy for mages to hit their target. They had to be familiar with their spell's casting time, accurately judge the target's direction and speed, and calculate the lead time. Lei Mingdian Guang was an expert, and was good at all these things. Flame Impact also had a large area of effect, making it more forgiving. At this moment, he accurately chose a position three body lengths in front of the goblin merchant to cast the spell, and began the casting process.

"Ammo!" Ye Xiu sent a message in the team channel.

The team channel was completely clean, to avoid affecting Ye Xiu's commands. The Sharpshooter, seeing the call, immediately loaded a light-attribute bullet and fired. The light-attribute bullet crackled with electricity and struck the goblin merchant.

The goblin merchant was also struck by a surge of electricity, shivering all over. After a brief pause, it suddenly changed direction and ran towards a tree on the left.

"Holy sh*t!!!" Lei Mingdian Guang was dumbfounded. His spell was about to finish casting, and a pillar of fire was about to send the goblin merchant flying. This would have perfectly bought them two seconds of time, but who knew that this idiot goblin merchant would suddenly change its aggro target at this time, changing direction and running to the other side. The Flame Impact rose up with a flourish, but it missed completely.

"Do you even have skill? Do you even know how to play? You're a noob to OT at a crucial moment!!" Lei Mingdian Guang jumped up and down in anger, yelling towards the tree.

"Shut up," a Street Fighter player from Blue Brook Guild said, before throwing a brick. Although the Flying Brick skill had its effects halved, it was aimed at the back of the goblin merchant's head as it ran past, increasing the chance of stunning it by half. So the chance of triggering a stun was quite high, and could buy them some time.

But just as the brick flew through the air, a gunshot rang out, and the brick shattered into pieces. The Street Fighter player was dumbfounded.

"Holy sh*t!!!" the Street Fighter player shouted, "What the hell? Did he guess? Does Tyrannical Ambition have such an expert?"

No one answered him. Those with good eyesight had already seen the strange object in Lord Grim's hand, at the very front of which, smoke was rising.

"Pay attention to Lord Grim's weapon," Lan He said to everyone. "Something's strange."

"Its shape?"

"No…" Lan He couldn't find the words.

"Let's catch the goblin merchant first!" someone said.

Although both skills aimed at hindering the goblin merchant's advance had failed, the Blue Brook Guild players were still getting closer and closer to the goblin merchant. Who would have thought that just as the goblin merchant ran to the tree, out came not a Sharpshooter, but a Grappler. The Grappler grabbed the goblin merchant and threw it towards Lord Grim again.

Grapplers were professional grabbers, and their effects were enhanced. This throw was both faster and farther than Lord Grim's usual throws. The Blue Brook Guild players had to run a lot of extra distance, and they were all furious. As a result, Lord Grim had already greeted them, and a few attacks were enough to pull the goblin merchant's aggro back to him. With Circle Swing and Throw, the distance between the goblin merchant and the Blue Brook Guild players widened again.

"Wait," Xi Zhou saw something.

"That aggro shift just now might not have been an accident. It was their plan, it was intentional," Xi Zhou said.

"What are you saying?" everyone was shocked.

"They want to use this method to actively control the goblin's movement, then avoid our pursuit, and take down the goblin merchant," Xi Zhou said.

"Can something like that be done?" everyone was at a loss.

"The proof is right in front of us," Xi Zhou said.

"It's Lord Grim, it's all thanks to his commands," Lan He said.

"What do we do?" someone asked.

"Break up into groups of two and defeat them one by one!" Lan He said.

"Won't someone else take advantage of us?" Xi Zhou looked worriedly behind him.

"Those odds and ends won't amount to anything," Lan He said.

"Why haven't we seen anyone from Herb Garden yet?" Xi Zhou said.

"That trash Car Qianzi is playing dirty again. We have to be careful. Where are our people? Why haven't they arrived yet!" Lan He was anxious. Blue Brook Guild didn't just have these ten or so people!

"The Herb Garden people are here!" Xi Zhou suddenly said.

Lan He looked ahead, and sure enough, a group of figures stirred in the forest opposite them. Although the names above their heads were blurry, Lan He used his years of experience to instantly identify them as Herb Garden.

"They've gone to cut off our retreat," Xi Zhou said.

"That trash Car Qianzi must have received inside information again," Lan He said contemptuously.

"While he's holding up Lord Grim, we'll snatch back the Boss," Xi Zhou said.

"Charge!" Lan He roared.
