Hu Die Lan
Chapter 917 A Pit in the Snow
This was just an event in the game. Mo Gan Hui Shou and Shei Bu Di Tou had no reason to wait for Steamed Bun Invasion. It would have made more sense to take advantage of Lord Grim being alone and bully him.
But neither of them did. They actually waited. They once thought that Ye Xiu was too proud, afraid of losing to them, so he didn't dare to come. But in fact, when had Ye Xiu ever cared about his status as a God in the game? He always acted according to the rules and logic. If Ye Xiu were in their position, he would definitely seize the opportunity to attack when someone was alone, unless he had a special purpose. It was these two who were already acting like they had status before they even officially became professional players.
The two of them got into a fighting stance, waiting for Steamed Bun Invasion to arrive.
"Sorry I'm late!"
Steamed Bun Invasion arrived quite quickly, with his voice arriving along with a brick.
Both of them knew Steamed Bun Invasion was coming, but they didn't expect him to attack right away. Although the brick didn't hit anyone, Shei Bu Di Tou's flustered dodge showed her panic.
"Hurry up, it'll be troublesome if another team passes by," Ye Xiu said. Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella swung down from above, launching a Gatling Gun, a series of bullets flying towards Shei Bu Di Tou. She had just dodged Steamed Bun's brick and was annoyed by the other party's sneak attack, preparing to scold them, but she didn't expect Ye Xiu to turn his face faster than flipping a book. She couldn't dodge this Gatling Gun.
A Gatling Gun was a series of continuous shots. For experienced and skilled players, as long as one shot hit, the rest would not miss. Ye Xiu was of course in the "experienced and skilled" category. All 20 bullets from this Gatling Gun hit Shei Bu Di Tou. However, as a low-level skill, the damage wasn't great. But being hit by all the shots of the Gatling Gun would cause the character to tremble continuously due to the impact of the bullets, making them look like they were having an epileptic seizure, which was quite unsightly.
Having already begun to act like they had status, the two were beaten so badly right from the start, which was of course absolutely unbearable.
"Despicable!" Mo Gan Hui Shou shouted, while raising her gun to retaliate. Bullets flew, but Lord Grim raised his umbrella, using it as a shield to withstand the damage and force his way closer.
Shei Bu Di Tou, who was being beaten badly, was even more angry, but fortunately, she wasn't blinded by anger. Instead of rushing to retaliate, she attacked the other target, Steamed Bun Invasion.
Shei Bu Di Tou rolled on the spot to behind Mo Gan Hui Shou, squatted down, and raised her gun to shoot, but all she saw was a vast expanse of white snow. There was no sign of Steamed Bun Invasion.
Shei Bu Di Tou turned around 360 degrees, and indeed, Steamed Bun Invasion was nowhere to be seen. However, there were many small snow mounds and snow pits on this map. It wasn't difficult for a character to hide. Shei Bu Di Tou immediately began to pay attention to a few snow mounds and snow pits, and tried to shoot at them, trying to scare Steamed Bun Invasion out, but it didn't work.
On the other side, Lord Grim was forcing Mo Gan Hui Shou closer and closer with his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. As a gunner, even a Sharpshooter with some melee ability wouldn't easily let their opponent get close. Mo Gan Hui Shou attacked while flying backwards, pulling away. The two of them were indeed very tacit. Without any communication, Shei Bu Di Tou retreated at a 45-degree angle to Mo Gan Hui Shou's retreat.
As a result, Lord Grim suddenly gave up on Mo Gan Hui Shou, whom he had been approaching, and used Shadow Clone Technique, leaving a fake body in place while his real body rushed towards Shei Bu Di Tou.
Shei Bu Di Tou quickly adjusted to retaliate, but Lord Grim was running around the map, turning Shei Bu Di Tou's view. Just as she turned her back to Mo Gan Hui Shou, she heard a "haha" laugh behind her.
"What's going on?" Shei Bu Di Tou heard that the voice should be Steamed Bun Invasion's, but she didn't dare to look back, afraid that Lord Grim would take the opportunity. She could only ask out loud.
"It's an Invisibility Cloak." Mo Gan Hui Shou's depressed voice came from behind her. At this time, she had already been grabbed by Steamed Bun Invasion with a Throat Lock.
"Ah yo, judging by the voice, it seems like a girl," Steamed Bun said in surprise.
"..."
"Is she a beauty?" Steamed Bun asked with great interest.
"..."
Collapsing Mountain Strike!
Lord Grim, while circling around Shei Bu Di Tou to dodge the shooting, shortened the distance between them. At this time, he swung his blade and used Collapsing Mountain Strike, chopping down on her head.
However, the distance between the two wasn't that close. Lord Grim's attack gave Shei Bu Di Tou enough time to dodge. But Lord Grim didn't stop there. He slashed the ground with his sword, and the shockwave spread, stirring up a small circle of snowflakes, blurring the character's figure. As a result, in this blur, Lord Grim slid down, sinking into the snow, making it impossible to see which direction he was sliding in. Shei Bu Di Tou didn't dare to be careless and jumped back, while raising her guns. Her vision was locked on the ground in front of her. As long as there was any movement on the snow, she would definitely shoot without hesitation.
As a result, she didn't see any movement. The snowflakes had already begun to fall. Shei Bu Di Tou realized that Lord Grim's attack wasn't aimed at her at all. She turned her view and saw that Lord Grim, after sliding, had jumped up from the snow. At the same time, he opened his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and turned it into a battle lance. With a Sky Strike, he stabbed Mo Gan Hui Shou. Steamed Bun Invasion's Throat Lock skill also reached its time limit at this time. As soon as he let go, Mo Gan Hui Shou was lifted into the air.
The two of them chased after Mo Gan Hui Shou, who was floating in the air, and attacked her fiercely. Shei Bu Di Tou quickly rushed to rescue her. Mo Gan Hui Shou, who was floating in the air, was also trying to save herself. Seeing the direction, she fired her guns continuously, trying to fly away from the range of the two's attack. Who knew that Lord Grim's battle lance was faster than her bullets? Before her bullets could be fired, he stabbed her with his lance, swung it around, and used a Circle Swing to bring Mo Gan Hui Shou back to the ground. Then, Mo Gan Hui Shou disappeared.
Seeing this, Shei Bu Di Tou was shocked, but she thought that it was impossible for her to die so quickly. Mo Gan Hui Shou was probably just knocked into the snow.
Shei Bu Di Tou raised her gun and fired wildly, wanting to create an opportunity for Mo Gan Hui Shou to escape. Who knew that Lord Grim and Steamed Bun Invasion would also sink into the snow at the same time and disappear? The bullets fired by Shei Bu Di Tou all missed.
Shei Bu Di Tou was immediately at a loss. How could the snow be so thick that a person could disappear straight down? Even if they lay down, they wouldn't sink so deep that they couldn't see any trace of them! But right now, the three characters had really sunk into the snow and disappeared. Shei Bu Di Tou fired wildly at that spot again, but the snowflakes flew and there was no trace of the three.
"What's going on?" Shei Bu Di Tou finally couldn't help but ask. These words revealed that she didn't understand the situation, which was difficult for the proud duo to say, but she couldn't care about face at this time.
"There's a pit..." Mo Gan Hui Shou's answer seemed so helpless.
Yes, the state that Shei Bu Di Tou didn't understand was actually because there was a snow pit here. Lord Grim had used a Circle Swing to throw her in, and then he and Steamed Bun Invasion had jumped down together. The pit wasn't big, and the three characters were squeezed together. There was no room to move around, which was already unfavorable for the Sharpshooter class. Now that she had to fight two opponents alone, Mo Gan Hui Shou wanted to cry but had no tears. She only hoped that her partner would come to save her quickly.
After hearing the answer, Shei Bu Di Tou was stunned, and then she thought of the situation. She raised her hand and threw a grenade at that spot, but before the grenade landed, she heard a gunshot, and Lord Grim shot it in the air and blew it up.
Shei Bu Di Tou was so depressed! She only hated that she wasn't a Launcher, otherwise she would have used a Satellite Beam, or a Heat-Seeking Missile, or a Thorn Cannon to make these guys in the pit suffer. But what about now? As a Sharpshooter, she could only jump high, find an angle, and fire a series of shots at the pit. As a result, as the bullets flew out, she saw that the pit, which was no longer covered by snow, suddenly opened up an umbrella. It was Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
Shields couldn't completely block damage, but they could greatly reduce it. Although Shei Bu Di Tou didn't know the stats of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield form, she knew that she couldn't compete with a character holding a shield in terms of output. Mo Gan Hui Shou in the pit would definitely die faster.
In this situation, Shei Bu Di Tou had never experienced it before, and she really didn't have any ideas. The jumping character landed helplessly again. From the team's character panel, Shei Bu Di Tou could see that Mo Gan Hui Shou's health was being rapidly depleted, obviously unable to parry in the pit.
Shei Bu Di Tou had no choice but to jump and shoot towards the snow pit, hoping to stand on the edge of the pit and attack downwards to save Mo Gan Hui Shou.
Unfortunately, she didn't get such an opportunity. Just as she was about to rush to the edge of the pit, Lord Grim suddenly jumped up with his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. The umbrella surface, which was much larger than an ordinary shield, was shaking wildly in front of Shei Bu Di Tou. At this moment, Shei Bu Di Tou felt like she was blindfolded. Of course, he also knew how to break this common tactic used by Knights, which was to quickly pull away.
Pulling away was something that a gunner would normally want, but now Shei Bu Di Tou didn't want to at all. At this time, she raised her gun and jumped up, actually wanting to jump over the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. This idea was a bit bold. It was barely feasible to bully opponents who were worse than her, otherwise, it could only be used as a surprise tactic.
But in front of Ye Xiu, who was explosively experienced, these methods weren't enough to surprise him. As soon as Shei Bu Di Tou showed her head, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already changed its form, being split into two Oriental Sticks. Lord Grim stepped forward and grabbed Shei Bu Di Tou, who was still jumping, with both hands. He bent her waist and performed a Back Throw. Shei Bu Di Tou also fell into the snow pit.
