Volume 3 Containment Operation Chapter 44: Clever Cooperation
I didn't have much confidence in forcing a breakthrough from the front against a high-level shooter like the nomadic tribe. After all, I had never had such experience before. If I had a choice, I would rather stand far away and watch the fun, and command my men to fight to the death. In order to pass this level smoothly and successfully implement my crazy plan, I must use some tricks to limit the performance of the nomadic tribe.
I transformed into three figures again and rushed forward in three directions, but only two of them rushed towards the two necromancers, and the other changed its target and rushed directly towards the nomadic tribe who was relatively close. Archers are the nemesis of magicians, but thieves have agility beyond archers, and they are also a melee profession. Once the thieves get close to them, the archer's situation may not be much better than that of the magician. Three figures attacked three targets, two virtual and one real. No matter how big or small the probability is, anyone can have a chance. I think the nomadic tribe will have to weigh the three options of sniping me, intercepting the golden sunflower, and resolving their own danger first.
The nomadic tribe really hesitated for a moment, but it was only a moment before they made their choice. They probably knew that once the necromancer died, the summoned undead creatures would also disappear. Therefore, they judged that my original intention was still to deal with the two unguarded necromancers of my side first, so they moved their bodies slightly, slightly made way for the oncoming figures, and shot two arrows with a bow in their hands at the same time at the two figures that were rapidly approaching the necromancer. This was different from the "two-shot" that could only attack one target, but the more advanced skill "two-shot", which could attack two different targets at the same time. There were still wisps of breeze around the arrows, which should be the wind magic, and the route taken was quite accurate. If my two figures did not change their momentum, they would definitely hit the sharp arrows. After the two arrows were fired, two more feather arrows were quickly placed on the strings, waiting for my next reaction.
Almost at the same time as the arrow was shot, my figure that pounced on the nomadic tribe had already approached him. With a flash of cold light, each of the three figures had a dagger in their hands, ready to attack at any time. Moreover, the two figures rushing towards the undead wizard were about to be injured by the sharp arrows, but they still did not change their momentum, as if they were really phantoms.
There seemed to be a hint of surprise on the nomadic tribe's face. His body moved slightly, but he immediately steadied himself. He still pulled the bow and arrow and stared intently at the two figures rushing towards the necromancer. He ignored the figures approaching him. It seemed that he had determined that all this was a deception. My real body would definitely not come to attack him, and he didn't want to be distracted.
His guess was correct. According to my wishes and plans, I would never waste time and energy to deal with him. Although he would lose the ability to fight back and could no longer attack if I got close to him, the archer's agility was much higher than that of the magician after all, and his movements were naturally more flexible. Moreover, his physical defense was also higher than that of the magician. As a part-time thief with no experience in close combat, I was not sure that I could kill a master of the nomadic tribe at close range. He should also have good dodging skills. Even if I could catch him off guard in the early stage, once he came to his senses, I had no confidence that I could continue to entangle him and prevent him from escaping. Instead of doing this, it would be better to find a way to break through and find the two undead wizards directly, which would give me a greater chance of success.
Unfortunately, there is a saying that man proposes, God disposes. The well-made plan unexpectedly changed, dooming the fate of the nomadic tribe. Just when I was about to take action and prepare to risk a breakthrough, an urgent call from a teammate came from the internal channel: "Attack the nomadic tribe first!" Out of trust in him, I did not hesitate at all, and changed the direction of attack in an instant. I turned into three shadows, real but fake, fake but real, and attracted the attention of the nomadic tribe with the clone. The real body held the dagger borrowed by Long Xing Tianxia and successfully rushed to his side.
The two sharp arrows penetrated the two phantoms that happened to hit them without any hindrance. The phantoms continued to rush forward. The nomadic tribe immediately felt something was wrong. As soon as I moved, I, who was close to his body, launched a torrential attack. The thief's stabbing speed with a dagger was already relatively fast, and I had a 50% attack speed increase due to the solidified skill "Attack Acceleration". Coupled with the paralysis effect of the dagger itself, the nomadic tribe's actions would occasionally pause briefly, which increased my hit rate. In a short period of time, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, leaving more than a dozen holes on his body. Fortunately, there was a "fatal blow". In "Tianxia", the so-called fatal blow refers to an attack on the vital parts of the opponent's body, which can have a certain probability of injuring the vital parts of the opponent's body, thereby producing some additional effects, such as blindness, deafness, severance of tendons in hands and feet, etc., affecting the player's vision, hearing, and mobility... It must last for a period of time to recover. The nomadic tribe's internal organs were injured by me, and he felt uncomfortable all over, which made it difficult for him to concentrate well. Depending on the injured organs, he would experience different sensations such as heat, cold, numbness, itching, etc. Only he himself could understand the feeling.
However, the archer's defense is slightly higher than my low attack power, and the nomadic tribe's equipment has good protective capabilities. It is said that thieves and assassins pay attention to quick battles and killing with one blow in close combat. However, although he was in a very embarrassed state after I stabbed him with more than ten knives, he did not look like he was in danger of life. He still looked energetic. It was really embarrassing for his colleagues who wield knives.
Relying on their much richer experience and skills than mine, after several efforts, the nomadic tribe finally got rid of my close entanglement and staggered away. I didn't want to overdo it, so I turned sideways and used "One Ride Away" and "Shadow of Disappearance" to walk away, continuing my unfinished plan to kill Night Bonfire and Sky Star. If I continued to entangle with them, I was afraid that I would suffer the consequences first, not to mention whether I could get away with it under the hands of the nomadic tribe who had recovered their strength.
The nomadic tribe, which had just suffered a great loss, became anxious when they saw that I was trying to escape. Without even standing firm, they took two steps forward and quickly bent their bows and aimed arrows at me. It seemed that they hated me to the core and were eager for revenge. It made sense. Being humiliated so closely by a necromancer like me, under the attention of millions of spectators, they were so embarrassed that if they didn't quickly take action to save face, they would definitely become a laughing stock of this competition.
I paid no attention to the attack he might launch and rushed forward with wholeheartedly. I saw that the arrow was on the string and I might get justice soon. Unfortunately, things did not go as I wished. He was doomed to be unlucky. A "thunderbolt" from the sky landed on his head. He was already dark enough, but now he was completely turned into a human-shaped piece of charcoal, shaking all over. Naturally, the attack on me was forced to stop. Before he could react, another "thunderbolt" fell. With a groan, he became the first loser to withdraw from the game.
The one who could use "Thunderbolt" to attack was Bai Yunjian. It was him who called me earlier. Seeing me rushing towards the battle circle, he could not hold back and quickly moved forward with the Ganges War God. He also came up with a plan to work with me to deal with the relatively low HP and low defense magic archer nomadic tribe. While I was distracting the opponent's attention, Bai Yunjian also rushed to the predetermined attack position in time and launched a surprise attack when I retreated. Since my round of attack had already consumed part of the health of the nomadic tribe, he finally succeeded in a sneak attack. Two "Thunderbolts" made the "Southern Archery God" nomadic tribe retreat with unfulfilled ambitions and hatred. It was a cowardly defeat. Who made him so arrogant that he even dispatched his pet vampire cactus to participate in the defense of the two undead wizards. He was too confident about his own safety.
Although they had dealt with the nomadic tribe first, the situation on the field was still tense. The Golden Sunflower had fallen into danger, and was gradually approaching the Night Bonfire and Sky Star by constantly running back and forth. However, there were two Undead Wizards in front of them, leading their pet Sand Wolves and Skeleton Kings to block them, and they could not move any closer for a while. In the back, the Black Lion was chasing them relentlessly, and they were already wounded in many places. It seemed that they would not be able to hold on for much longer.
After getting rid of the nomadic tribe, I did not go straight to the Night Bonfire and Sky Star, where the Golden Sunflowers were active, dodging their intensive attacks. If I rushed forward, I would only be a target together with them, and it would be impossible for me to get close to them. I spread my body, made a circle, and pounced on them from the flank, forming a horn with the Golden Sunflowers, echoing each other from a distance. I must make them lose sight of one while distracting the other, disperse their firepower, and seize the opportunity.
As a last resort, Tianxing and Skeleton King turned around to deal with me, but I was agile and could confuse the enemy, and my target was small. Despite suffering some damage, I quickly approached Tianxing. The Golden Sunflower, whose resistance was weakened, seized the opportunity and rushed up quickly while under the attack of Night Bonfire. The shaking spear in its hand was about to pierce the opponent's chest.
Faced with a possible double-sided attack, the two opponent's undead wizards did not rush to dodge. They stood still and intensified their attacks. Their behavior could even be described as hysterical. Unwilling to give up the initiative, they decided to gamble their lives with us to see who could hold on to the end.
Seeing that he could not stop me from approaching, Tianxing stood back to back with Skeleton King, and let Skeleton King hold me back while he turned to attack Golden Sunflower. Bonfire of Night took a shot from Golden Sunflower with the "Undead Shield". His pet Sand Wolf stopped spitting out sand, and its body flashed with yellow light, shooting out a yellow beam of light. The ground where the two front hooves of Golden Sunflower's mount, the Five-Colored Zebra, were standing immediately turned into sand and became quicksand, which immediately trapped the two front hooves of the Five-Colored Zebra. The sudden loss of its front hoof caused Golden Sunflower's body to lean forward and lose balance, which not only delayed its continued offensive, but also affected its subsequent actions. It was hit by several "Death Clouds" in a row, and more than a dozen red mists hung on its body, continuously devouring its life. Even a knight with a lot of blood could not stand this. The Black Lion behind also took the opportunity to catch up and stabbed out a sharp shot that had been accumulated for a long time.
The golden sunflower moved its mouth and sent me three words through the internal channel: "Kill Night first". Then, regardless of the fierce attacks in front and behind, it tried its best to stabilize its body and stabbed another shot at the Night Bonfire. The two shots hit almost at the same time. While it was killed by the black lion, it also shattered the "Undead Shield" that the Night Bonfire had just released, adding another injury to him.
I avoided the Skeleton King's attack and rushed into the battle circle, sending out a shadow to scare Tianxing. The two figures rushed straight to the badly injured Night Bonfire. As soon as the Golden Sunflower's spear was pulled out of his body, I raised my hand and grabbed him, and stabbed the dagger with a cold light into him again, once, twice... The dagger went in and out of his body quickly. I didn't have time to think, nor did I care to move my body to change position. I just tried my best to mechanically repeat the same action. I swear, I have never been so vicious, and I don't know what stimulated me at that time... In fact, my nature is still very kind...
The already seriously injured Night Bonfire was held by me and could not dodge. He could not use the "Undead Shield" to protect himself when being attacked, so he was stabbed to death by me. A generation of talents died with hatred, and his death was much more tragic than that of the nomadic tribes. It should be enough for him to have a painful aftertaste for a while. Of course, I would not have it easy either. I paid the corresponding price and got out of the double-team of the enemy. I was fiercely counterattacked by Tianxing and Black Lion. My health value dropped sharply. I had no money to fight with them anymore. I quickly spread my body and used "One Ride Away" and "Phantom Shift" to try to break out of the siege and retire.
"Crack, crackle", at the critical moment, Xiaobai's "Thunderbolt" showed its power again. He entered the attack position at the right time and delayed Tianxing and Black Lion's pursuit of me, allowing me to successfully escape to a relatively safe area. My health was only a dozen percent left, and I was about to be buried with the Night Bonfire.
At this point, the situation on the field changed. Although we lost the golden sunflower, the opponent lost the nomadic tribe and the night bonfire, and the summoned vampire bat also left the battle with the defeat of its master. In order to entangle it and prevent it from escaping and rushing back to support, my Black Three also paid a heavy price. He was severely injured by the two black warriors who attacked wantonly, and lost most of his combat effectiveness. Although he had time to fight back, he was no longer the opponent of the two black warriors. He was defeated step by step, which was really depressing. Fortunately, other teammates won one after another. First, Yamato Spirit and Ganges War God worked together to kill the storm, and then joined forces with Bajiugaoge to surround Ou Lieri. Tianxing wanted the black warrior to come to support, but was desperately blocked by Black Three. He was one step late and sent Lieri out early. On the other side, Long Xingtian fought hard and finally defeated the Desert Eagle, proving that his strength was qualified to challenge the highest honor. Although the Grassland Nomads fought on equal terms with Hua Mantian, they only had two of their companions left, Black Lion and Tianxing. Facing the absolute advantage of our side with seven people left, they were powerless to turn the tide and were doomed to defeat.
The second stage of the "Four Continents Elite Challenge" has ended, and the Eastern and Western Continental teams have both won!
