Chapter 252 Golden Fragrance

"How are we supposed to find them now??" The three guild leaders were all suffering headaches.

They originally thought this was a stroke of luck, a golden opportunity, but after stationing themselves in the desolate town for some time, they were still unable to achieve their goal and were instead killed by the other party.

Losing a few people wasn't a big deal, the key was that they couldn't see a glimmer of hope.

The two people ran back and forth, appearing and disappearing. So many people from the three major guilds were completely helpless. They searched and searched, but just couldn't find them. What could they do?

"Target sighted!"

The message arrived again.

"Kill! Kill them for me! Kill them quickly!!!" The three guild leaders gave the same order.

But less than a minute later, another message came: Team wipe.

It was another group of three, and it was clear that these three were no match for the other two. They couldn't even delay them for more than a minute.

What did it mean to kill three people in a minute? It meant it wasn't a battle, but a one-sided massacre. Lord Grim was level 52, his output was limited; Deception was max level, but his equipment was ordinary. The three major guilds were fully armed, with high stats and good equipment, but they were wiped out in a minute. Even if you threw three wooden stakes with those stats and equipment there, it would probably take about the same amount of time to kill them.

The other side's method was the same both times. The ninja's Hundred Stream Slash created a Water Prison to trap one person first, then they joined forces to kill the other two, and finally turned back to kill the one in the Water Prison.

An extremely simple tactic, nothing particularly clever about it, they relied on their strength.

"The other side is strong. Increase the number of people in the squads to guarantee groups of five. The people brought in from the outer circle should be arriving soon, get them in there quickly."

The three guild leaders quickly made adjustments.

But after this group of three was wiped out, the two quickly disappeared again. Their disappearance was so complete, so seamless, that everyone searched without even a clue. They could only run around the streets, letting time fly and their point cards burn. Other than knowing that the other two were still online, they had absolutely no information. Some people even began to doubt whether the two were still in the desolate town.

Just as the three guild leaders were beginning to doubt, another message came: the two had appeared again.

"Quick, quick, quick!" The three of them hurriedly sent messages. Now all the squads had at least five people. Five against two, that should be enough to delay them for a while, right?

Five people were indeed stronger than three, at least they managed to delay until reinforcements arrived. But the two of them didn't bother fighting against five, and ran away early. Everyone spat blood and chased after them, with a very ominous premonition in their hearts. The premonition quickly came true, the two disappeared again, completely disappeared.

As for the group of five, they weren't completely wiped out, but two of them died. The experience they lost was recovered a little after the priest revived them, but the money and equipment were all picked up by the other side.

"Aren't you only taking orange equipment?"

Lord Grim picked up all the equipment that dropped in these two battles, which made Deception confused again. He had thought that this guy only cared about orange equipment.

"Well, I'm too lazy to pick it up, but if I leave it there, they'll pick it up again, so I might as well pick it up myself," Ye Xiu said.

"Too bad, we couldn't wipe them all out." Deception and Ye Xiu had completely switched roles now, one was thinking about PK and killing people, the other was picking up equipment.

"Not enough output," Ye Xiu said.

"Not enough time," Deception said helplessly. Every time they started attacking the other side, the other side would definitely send a message out first, so it wouldn't be long before a large group of people surrounded them, and the two could only retreat.

On the side of the three major guilds, many people were getting tired, but there was a team of people who had just gathered together with high morale.

"Sister Jin Xiang, where are they!" Someone in the team shouted.

This team wasn't acting under the guise of guild business, but was gathered by Jin Xiang in her personal capacity. It was mainly composed of players from the Excellent Dynasty guild, but also included some people who weren't from the Excellent Dynasty, all Jin Xiang's personal friends.

"Lord Grim, people are saying he's Ye Qiu now!" Someone said.

"Who cares who he is! Bullying Jin Xiang is not allowed. We have so many people now, we're not afraid of anyone!"

"Thank you everyone for coming. Besides Lord Grim, there's also a guy called Deception. I think everyone has heard of him, right?" Jin Xiang said.

"Deception? I know, that scavenger!"

Deception was quite famous.

"Yeah, it's these two. They just dropped my Unarmoring Hand Cannon, and they haven't left yet. The weapon is still on them, please help me get it back." Jin Xiang said.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely get your equipment back, even if it's at the ends of the earth!"

Various voices were filled with flattery.

"Okay, let's go. We just received a new message, those two guys have shown their faces, but they've escaped again. Let's go over there," Jin Xiang said.

So, a team of more than 20 people headed towards the place where Ye Xiu and Deception had just popped up. This team was gathered entirely because of Jin Xiang, and even Chen Yehui couldn't command them. He saw it all, but he didn't say anything.

These new players who had joined the event were heading towards their target location, and they saw many teams of players from the three major guilds running around searching. After seeing so much, they gradually became a little scared.

"How many people did the three guilds bring this time?" Someone asked.

"Just the ones we've seen along the way are enough to make up several groups," someone said in surprise.

One group was 100 people. In the game, that was already a very large unit. Even the strongest Boss in the game wasn't so strong that a group couldn't handle it. But now, in order to chase down two players, the three guilds had mobilized people in units of groups, and there were several of them.

"There's no way, those two guys are too cunning, hiding here and there. If they dared to face us head-on, we wouldn't need so many people," Jin Xiang explained.

"Then how do we find them?" Someone asked.

"We're currently compressing their activity space. Once we compress it to a certain range, they'll have nowhere to escape," Jin Xiang said.

"Don't let someone else kill them, or we'll be wasting our time?" Someone said.

"Exactly, so we need to move faster. There are also people from Herb Garden and Blue Brook Guild here. If they kill them and drop my Unarmoring Hand Cannon, there's a 99% chance we won't get it back," Jin Xiang said.

Ye Xiu and Deception continued to run. They saw individual teams along the way, but they didn't attack, which made Deception a little impatient.

"Why aren't we killing?" Seeing another team pass by, Deception was annoyed.

"Look over there," Ye Xiu gestured to Deception to look in another direction.

Deception turned his head and saw another team of people turning out of a street corner.

"The other side's forces are concentrating, our space is being compressed, now is not a good time to attack. The previous few times we attacked, we had at least some time, now it's harder to find an opportunity like that, their mutual space is tighter," Ye Xiu said.

"What do we do?" Deception asked.

"We need to transfer over a large area, let's go this way, they haven't had time to completely control this area yet," Ye Xiu led Deception to another road.

"How did you know?" Deception asked, puzzled.

"Remember the other side's teams, observe the deployment of each team, combine that with the map, and predict their possible operating patterns," Ye Xiu said.

"..." Deception was confused.

"Jin Xiang." At this time, Jin Xiang received a message from Guild Leader Chen Yehui.

"Hmm?"

"We are compressing their range of activity. I specifically left some space. They are estimated to rush towards your side. You have plenty of manpower. Solve them! If Herb Garden and Blue Brook Guild surround them, they might get the drops," Chen Yehui said.

"Thank you, Guild Leader!" Jin Xiang was overjoyed when she heard this.

"In addition to your Unarmoring Hand Cannon, pay attention to Lord Grim's weapon. If it drops, you must get it," Chen Yehui instructed.

"Oh, I understand," Jin Xiang replied.

"Someone will give you accurate information."

"Okay."

Jin Xiang was extremely excited, and immediately told everyone the good news. Everyone was itching to get started. The only regret was that there were only two people, which wasn't enough for them to kill.

A moment later, Jin Xiang indeed received a message from someone in Excellent Dynasty, telling her the exact direction in which the two were running.

"Good!" Jin Xiang quickly checked the map, studied it slightly, and then led her people to lie in ambush.

Ye Xiu and Deception were also having a hard time on their way. The small teams that they had to hide and avoid from time to time made Deception feel that the other side's search was indeed more dense. But as they circled around, the avoidance gradually decreased. Deception knew that they were gradually breaking out of the other side's encirclement. Then, for a long time, the two didn't avoid anything at all, because they didn't encounter anyone at all.

"We broke through?" Deception asked in surprise. Back then, he hadn't encountered such a dense encirclement, and he was blocked until his head was bleeding. Now, following Lord Grim, they were walking and stopping, neither too fast nor too slow, and they had broken through silently like this.

"I said, their deployment here is still a bit loose," Ye Xiu smiled.

"Is that so?"

Deception didn't have time to speak, but someone else interjected. Instantly, in the house and on the roof, many players jumped out. Not five people, not ten people, Deception swept his eyes around, and there were so many people that he couldn't count them all at once.

In this situation, Deception laughed first: "The deployment here is a bit loose?"

"Uh, these deployments don't belong to the previous circle," Ye Xiu said.

"What do we do now?" Deception asked.

"Kill them all," Ye Xiu said.

"What?" Deception thought he had heard wrong.

"Look at how arrogant and confident they are. This time, they shouldn't call for any reinforcements, right!" Ye Xiu said.

"That's not necessarily true," Deception said.

"The key is to look at who that is," Ye Xiu said.

"It's that woman."

"That's right, she wants to take back what she lost with her own hands. If someone else picks it up, why would they return it to her?" Ye Xiu said.

"So they'll just stand there and let us kill them one by one?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan too," Ye Xiu said.

"I'm afraid!" As Deception spoke, he immediately charged forward, his target, directly at Jin Xiang.
