The battle on Ye Xiu's screen made Chen Guo's eyes blur, but she could still see his status screen clearly. Lord Grim's health had always been in a state of not being able to make ends meet. This meant that Ye Xiu could only make Lord Grim live longer than Chasing Haze, but it was hard to say if he could use this to escape.
What should I do?
Chen Guo was extremely worried. Right now, no matter if she revived and rushed over or called for help, she wouldn't be able to make it in time. Everything depended on Ye Xiu himself.
Ye Xiu's normally lazy and indifferent appearance often made Chen Guo grit her teeth in anger. But at this moment, she really wanted to see this kind of expression on Ye Xiu's face.
But she didn't. Right now, Ye Xiu's face was only focused. The sounds of his hands clicking continuously came out like a storm. The scene made Chen Guo feel a bit dizzy. Even the sound made her feel a bit restless.
No matter what, I have to do something!
Chen Guo thought. She revived Chasing Haze and rushed over from the town. She didn't know if she could make it in time. She also didn't know if she could help even if she came. She just didn't want to just sit there blankly and not be able to help.
As she ran, Chen Guo would occasionally pay attention to Lord Grim's coordinates and Lord Grim's health on Ye Xiu's side.
Ye Xiu was still doing his best to persevere.
Chen Guo wished she could just teleport over. Even if it was just for Chasing Haze to block one attack, that would be good … …
Suddenly, Chen Guo realized that her surroundings had quieted down.
Ye Xiu's continuous stream of actions had actually stopped.
Chen Guo was startled. She immediately turned her head, but found that the colors on the screen were still the same. Lord Grim wasn't dead yet. He was currently leaning against a stone wall covered in moss.
"Ah? Did he run away?? "Chen Guo was overjoyed at the turn of events, when she saw Lord Grim suddenly dash forward again. He could faintly see the reflection of some sort of attack effect behind him. Someone had attacked the place where he was hiding, but he managed to dodge it in time.
"Not yet," Ye Xiu answered Chen Guo.
Since he was able to talk, Chen Guo felt that the situation must have improved a lot. She looked up at Ye Xiu's current location: Mari Ancient City Ruins.
Ancient Milo Ruin, one of the Level 55 regions of the Heavenly Domain. According to the setting information, this was an ancient city that had been destroyed by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes a thousand years ago. Most of it had sunk into the ground. The remaining buildings on the surface were all weathered, and most of them were incomplete.
The Ancient Mari Ruins was not very large. This was because it was not a leveling area with many monsters. This small part of the ancient city on the surface was more like a clue, leading players to the real Ancient Mari Ruins that had been buried for a thousand years. This was the large-scale 100-man dungeon that had tortured countless players to death: Ancient Mari Ruins.
Chen Guo looked at Lord Grim's level. He was level 54. He was halfway to level 55. Obviously, he couldn't suddenly level up to 55 and hide in the dungeon. Ye Xiu had sent Lord Grim here to take advantage of the terrain to deal with the enemy.
"20 people." Ye Xiu pulled out the microphone from his headset and spoke to Chen Guo. He was afraid that the enemy would hear them and expose their location. At this time, Lord Grim was hiding in the corner of a stone house that only a third of its original structure remained. He was observing the situation through a gap in the stone wall.
"Oh?"
"I got a general feeling. That should be it." Ye Xiu had been dodging the entire time, but he had finally figured out his opponent's strength.
"Who are they?" Chen Guo asked.
"I'm not sure, but that's not important. These people are average, but their commander is very difficult to deal with. "Ye Xiu said.
"Who's the commander?" Chen Guo was surprised. If Ye Xiu said that this person was difficult to deal with, then this person had to be a pro!
"I'm not sure. I haven't had a chance to observe." Ye Xiu said helplessly. They had been running around trying to survive. It was already good enough that they could estimate the enemy's numbers from their skills. But it was very difficult to determine who was the commander among the 20 people, especially when the enemy was using the chat to communicate.
"If we can find the commander and get rid of him, the remaining people won't be a problem." Ye Xiu said.
"F * ck!"
Just as Ye Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly shouted and hastily controlled it. Lord Grim leaped forward and rolled out of the corner. Behind him, a loud "Peng!" rang out. A hole had been punched through the stone wall. Shards of stone flew everywhere in that corner. Only the Sharpshooter skill "Thunder Snipe" had this kind of penetrative power.
"Boom!"
Following an even louder sound, a small mushroom cloud rose up from the corner of the house. A Launcher had thrown a Heat-Seeking Missile here.
Lord Grim, who had jumped out of the corner, was now exposed to even more players. A Berserker was the most impatient. He directly used Colliding Stab to kill.
The use of this skill perfectly reflected Ye Xiu's evaluation of their "average strength". Ye Xiu only had Lord Grim lightly jump back. In the end, the Berserker awkwardly stood in front of Lord Grim. His skill's range had already reached its limit … …
Ye Xiu wouldn't give him a second chance to attack. Lord Grim had already stepped forward and ripped the Berserker apart, throwing him away with a Fling.
Two more players were following from behind. Who would have thought that the Berserker, the vanguard general, would suddenly become an artillery shell? The two jumped to the left and right. But they discovered that not only had the Berserker been thrown back, there was also a grenade hidden behind him. It was too late to dodge. The grenade exploded and the three were sent tumbling.
Ye Xiu no longer paid attention to the three. He had Lord Grim turn around. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella straightened. The tip of the umbrella spat out a tongue of flame, and bullets flew out at an angle. A Bandit was working hard to set up traps at a small intersection in front of them. When he saw the machine gun sweeping towards him, he quickly rolled to the side. In the end, he saw that the traps he had carefully set up were all shot out of the ground and turned into a pile of trash on the ground.
The Thief was furious. He waited for the Gatling Gun to finish firing. Just as he was about to jump out and say something, a bang came from behind him. He was sent flying towards the trash pile. While in midair, he hastily turned around to look. A pile of mechanical debris had fallen. It was a Mechanic Expert skill, Mechanical Pursuit. But he had no idea where it had come from.
Lord Grim turned his body and fired two shots diagonally into the air. The Witch was shot down. The Spitfire, who had jumped onto the roof and was about to fire at Lord Grim, was also hit and staggered.
Then, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a spear. A Falling Flower Palm pushed out, sending two close-ranged characters, a Striker and a Grappler, flying. The two of them were puzzled. Lord Grim had clearly been shooting in another direction. How did he suddenly appear in front of them with a palm?
After attacking eight characters in a row, Ye Xiu found an opening and immediately had Lord Grim rush over.
"These eight don't look like it." Ye Xiu suddenly said.
"Ah?" Chen Guo was afraid of disturbing Ye Xiu, so she didn't dare to talk to him. She didn't expect him to say it himself. After staring blankly for a moment, Chen Guo understood the meaning behind Ye Xiu's words: "You're saying that these eight don't look like that expert commander?"
"Yeah." Ye Xiu said.
"Or maybe this person is only good at commanding and isn't good at fighting?" Chen Guo said.
"That's possible." Ye Xiu nodded his head, not denying it.
Lord Grim rolled and jumped under his control. He saw a narrow opening in front of him and rushed over. Just as he was about to pass through, he suddenly heard a few cracking sounds. An Ice Wall rose up, blocking the opening.
The six players behind him were already closing in. Ye Xiu didn't have time to break the Ice Wall. He looked left and right. Six players were coming from the right and three were coming from the left. He didn't need to think too much about which direction to go. But at this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the air. It was the enemy's Mechanic airdrop. Two things that looked like winter melons spun their propellers and flew towards Lord Grim's head. As long as these two opened their bellies, bombs would be thrown down.
Lord Grim immediately twisted his body and rolled to the left. At the same time, two gunshots rang out, shooting at the two winter melons in the air.
These winter melons had a bellyful of bombs. They were no different from grenades. The two shots hit and immediately exploded in the air, scattering fireworks all over the ground. Two pieces of charred metal fell to the ground.
Who would have thought that after taking care of these two airdrops, the airstrike wasn't over yet. A Witch riding a broom flew out from the cover of the explosion. He held a Lava Flask in his hand and was about to smash it at Lord Grim's head.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already turned around halfway. He didn't think that the other side would still have such a trick up his sleeve. He immediately had Lord Grim jump up. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hand turned into a spear and stabbed it at the Witch.
Pu!
The Witch was struck by this Circle Swing and was knocked down from the air, smashing into the ground. But this time, Ye Xiu was a bit too slow. He wasn't able to stop the Witch from throwing the Lava Flask. As soon as the Lava Flask fell to the ground and shattered, the stone road instantly turned into a pool of bubbling lava.
Just as Lord Grim was about to land on the lava, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella suddenly transformed into Rotor Wings. It spun at high speed and brushed past the lava. In the end, he wasn't burned by the lava.
He flew past the lava and rushed towards the three people on the left. The Warlock among the three immediately formed a dark ball of light. He placed the ball of light from Curse Arrow very high up. He didn't store any power. He formed it and it immediately turned into several small black arrows that flew over.
This attack forced Ye Xiu to be unable to have Lord Grim fly higher. He could only go down. But if he went down, he would have to step on the ground. He might as well just run. Ye Xiu simply canceled Rotor Wings and had Lord Grim land on the ground. Then, with a Shadow Clone Technique, his real body flashed in front of the Warlock.
The Back Throw command had already been activated. Lord Grim raised his hands and tore at the Warlock. At the same time, Ye Xiu saw the warlock's face under the cloak. It was a very weathered man's face with messy sideburns. At first glance, it was obvious that it was not the system's face, but a scan of a real photo.
"Old Wei?" Ye Xiu called out in astonishment.
