Hu Die Lan

Chapter 373 Dilemma

He looked at Steamed Bun Invasion, who had just shown his face, and the group of players splashing towards the shore felt a chill run down their spines. It wasn't that Steamed Bun Invasion was particularly scary, but the situation clearly showed that the other side was well prepared. First, they lured them into the water, then took advantage of the fact that most online game players were not familiar with underwater combat, and had two professional-level players give them a good lesson.

Now, they had finally come to their senses and were preparing to struggle ashore, but the enemy had set up an ambush on the shore. Although there weren't many people, only three that could be seen so far, the problem was that one side was on land and the other was in the water. Everyone couldn't help but think of a saying: "Beating a drowning dog."

"Charge!!!" After all, the road ahead was still uncertain, and staying in the water would only allow Lord Grim to slaughter them. At that moment, countless people shouted out this word at the same time. Several players who had reached the shore jumped up, wanting to leap out of the water.

While they were in mid-air, they suddenly heard three cannon shots, the sound coming from the small forest on the shore. In the blurry shadows of the trees, the fire of the explosions flashed, and three cannonballs arrived in succession. The players in mid-air couldn't dodge, so they just waved their weapons, trying to chop down the incoming cannonballs.

This kind of operation was theoretically possible, and it often appeared in the professional circle. But in the online game circle, not many people could do it, and most were limited to standing firmly on flat ground. Now, moving in mid-air and trying to attack cannonballs moving at high speed was beyond their capabilities.

Three cannonballs met the players leaping out of the water and exploded instantly. The blast of air sent several people flying, and then they heard a series of "splash" sounds. Four of the five who jumped out were hit by the explosion and fell back into the water.

The fifth person escaped unscathed and was secretly happy, but before he could land, he was hit in the face with a brick. Then Soft Mist rushed up beside Steamed Bun Invasion, and her battle lance shook, using a Continuous Thrust. This guy was still in mid-air, and after being hit by the Continuous Thrust, he was knocked quite a distance. After a string of blood blossoms floated in the air, he also fell into the water with a "splash." The difference was that after he fell into the water, the surface turned red, with blood constantly flowing out. Obviously, Soft Mist's Continuous Thrust was precise, hitting the same spot twice, causing a bleeding status.

Steamed Bun Invasion, Soft Mist. These two were both fierce generals in Lord Grim's dungeon team, and no one dared to underestimate them.

Who was the one firing black powder in the forest? No one saw clearly just now. However, the players from Misty Rain Pavilion were quieter than any other guild because this habit had made them think of Horse After Cannon, who had just left their guild.

And there was one person standing on the shore whom no one recognized, but in the eyes of everyone, this person's threat was greater than the other three. Because this person was actually a summoner, and he had already created a pile of summoned beasts, lined up on the shore, blocking their way to the shore.

They couldn't beat the summoned beasts? These experts weren't that bad. But the key was that it would waste time! If they were entangled by the summoned beasts, and then Steamed Bun Invasion or Soft Mist or the guy firing black powder came to help, wouldn't they be thrown back into the water again?

If they were thrown back into the water…

Another name in the team went dark and then disappeared, having been killed in the water again. Those who paid attention immediately realized that this was one of the four who had been blasted back into the water earlier. Naturally, they were caught by Lord Grim and Su Mucheng in the water and died quickly.

With pursuers behind and a blockade in front, the guild leaders were all veterans who had experienced many battles and had been in similar situations before. They instantly judged that their advantage for breaking free was to scatter.

"Scatter!" Chun Yi Lao shouted.

The others immediately understood.

In any case, numbers were their advantage. Although Excellent Era's people were surrounding the many with the few and were successful, they couldn't completely seal off the entire scene. Running away separately might mean some people would be killed, but it would definitely allow most people to escape.

So, the players still in the water swam left or right without thinking.

With this separation to the left and right, Ye Xiu and the others were indeed helpless, so they had to split into two groups, one chasing in the water and the other blocking on the shore. But after the other side separated into two groups, they further broke down into smaller units. No one pulled their companions along, and everyone had their own ideas. Suddenly, they scattered even further.

Tang Rou and the others did not go into the water, but chased along the shore. Even the old players from the big guilds were like noobs in the water. Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion, no matter how good their skills were, had to adapt to the water first, or they would only be worse if they went down.

As for Mo Fan, there was no need to mention him. The pile of summoned beasts on the shore was just a bluff! He was so nervous that his palms were sweaty. The big guilds were too cautious. If they dared to charge at these summoned beasts, they would immediately realize that these summoned beasts were as good as paper. It was just that the master's control was too bad.

As a result, they didn't block anything on the shore. The people in the water swam along the shore for a while and then went their separate ways. Some turned back to swim, some continued to swim along the shore, and some simply swam into the deep water. Tang Rou and the others didn't know which way to chase, but then they received a message from Ye Xiu: "Chase the ones who turned back."

"Oh!"

Tang Rou received the message, called out, and immediately turned back to chase the few who were running back. As a result, many players who hadn't come this way immediately got the opportunity and began to find places to land.

Tang Rou took a look and wanted to turn back to kill again, but Ye Xiu seemed to have guessed her thoughts and sent her another message: "Don't bother with them, keep chasing."

"Why?" Tang Rou was currently just commanding Soft Mist to run along the shore, and she had plenty of time to send messages.

"Too many people, hard to fight," Ye Xiu replied, as if he was very busy and didn't type too many words.

Tang Rou turned her view and looked back. Nearly ten people had climbed ashore in various places behind her, all alertly pointing their views in their direction. Tang Rou knew that these people were all experts. One-on-one, she had no problem, but if there were too many, and they coordinated with some tactics, then they wouldn't dare to fight.

Understanding Ye Xiu's meaning, Tang Rou continued to follow those few running back with Steamed Bun Invasion and Mo Fan obediently.

As a result, these guys had very clear ideas. As soon as they saw someone landing over there, they immediately turned back again and began to splash towards the direction where they had landed, obviously to seek support.

"What to do now?" Tang Rou was dumbfounded. She had fighting skills, but she was far from being able to think.

"Keep chasing," Ye Xiu replied.

Tang Rou immediately called out to the people around her and also turned back.

More than ten people who had managed to get ashore over there saw Soft Mist and the others charging towards them and quickly began to organize their team. Although they weren't at the level of Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng, they didn't dare to underestimate them in the slightest. They had already heard about Soft Mist's single-handedly killing her way out of Congee City during the last siege of Lord Grim and the others. Although that time didn't waste these first-line elites, they had been able to kill her way out of the crowd alone. No one present dared to say that they had this skill and courage.

"Hurry, hurry, heal, heal!!"

More than ten people were in a mess, and those who were injured in the water quickly urged the priests to heal. The water battle just now was chaotic. Not to mention coordination, even the simplest auxiliary task of priests healing hadn't been done well.

The priests in the team were busy, and beams of white light were cast down one after another. Those who were still in the water, seeing that they were getting closer, gradually gained courage. More than ten people quickly adjusted and advanced instead of retreating, charging towards Tang Rou and the others.

"What now?" Tang Rou sent a message to Ye Xiu to ask.

"Kill them!" Ye Xiu replied.

"Then why didn't you let us turn back to kill them just now?" Tang Rou asked.

"Wouldn't that let the ones in the water run away?" Ye Xiu asked.

"So ruthless!" Tang Rou said.

"Doesn't it suit you?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Exactly what I wanted," Tang Rou replied with a smiling face.

"Any problems?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Maybe, a little bit..." During the All-Star Weekend, Tang Rou had completely seen what it meant to have experts beyond experts. The skills of the professional players and the teamwork during the All-Star competition had made her more humble and cautious now. She was gradually discovering the gap between herself and a true expert.

"You can hit some into the water," Ye Xiu replied.

"Oh? You're in the water?" Tang Rou asked.

"Of course."

"Which position?"

"Not far from you. Feel free to hit the water. Leave anyone who falls into the water to me," Ye Xiu replied.

"Roger!" Tang Rou closed the message. More than ten people opposite were approaching, and the several in the water were also eager to try to get out of the water. Before Tang Rou could say anything, Steamed Bun Invasion took the lead and sent a knife-fight expression, shouting: "Kill! Mo Fan, follow me!!"

The slogan shouted by Steamed Bun Invasion stunned the ten or so people on the other side. If Soft Mist had shouted it, they would have tolerated it, but this Steamed Bun Invasion was only level 33, and the summoner he called Mo Fan was only level 34. Where did these two get such invincible confidence?

More than ten people carefully observed their surroundings, feeling inexplicable. They knew that there was someone firing black powder in the forest. Could it be that there were more people hiding in the forest!

"Crap! Could there be an ambush?" Someone said directly. They hadn't checked the forest after landing!

"There's no retreat, charge first!" Someone shouted.

So, the three of them charged up bravely, and the more than ten people suspiciously looked at the small woods, bushes, and other places where people could hide, fearing that there would be an ambush.

"Pfft..."

Because he was too distracted, the first person was directly hit in the face with a brick thrown by Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Damn, aren't they supposed to be experts?" Steamed Bun Invasion slapped someone with a brick and then鄙視ed them in dissatisfaction.

"Damn!" The Berserker who was hit by the brick was immediately enraged, and raised his heavy sword. A Collapsing Mountain Strike smashed towards the three of them. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in for more chapters and support the author and authentic reading!)
