Although Cui Bailie and Duan Fan did not look as bad as them, they still had a bad look on their faces. Among the group, there were five people that they were most afraid of: Black Destruction King Zhou Jian, Soul Slasher Blade Bai Lihun, Ghost Genius Lu Wenxiu, Death Illusion Master Ji Chengyue, and Sword Artist Ye Chen. There were more than fifty groups, and the chance of them running into these five people was only one in ten.
"Brother Cui, what do you think we should do? The battle hasn't even started, but three of us have already lost our fighting spirit. This is not a good sign." Duan Fan slowly exhaled and asked.
Cui Bailie said, "If we want to kill him, we have no chance of winning. But why do we have to kill him? As long as we kill his team members, victory will belong to us. These are two different concepts."
"That's right. The third test is about teamwork. Only with teamwork can we succeed. It seems that it is necessary to give them more confidence. Just the two of us are not enough."
The two quickly realized that teamwork was the only hope for victory.
…
Since there was a group, there would naturally be a leader. Although Ye Chen was not interested in being the leader, he could not refuse the position because it was related to passing the test. Under the recommendation of the four people, he became the leader of this group.
"Lu Ren Yi, you are responsible for assassinating one of them. After the assassination is successful, lurk again and wait for an opportunity to kill the other opponents. Du Sha, you and Lu Ren Yi should have no problem dealing with one of them, right?" Ye Chen turned to look at Du Sha.
Du Sha said, "Don't worry, I only need two moves to finish them off."
Nodding, Ye Chen said to Xiao Xue, "You don't need to get close to them. Your task is to occupy the high ground and suppress the opponents according to your judgment. As for me, I will deal with Fox King Cui Bailie and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Duan Fan."
"What about me?"
The young giant was called Ouyang Tie.
"Your task is to wait. The moment the two groups start fighting, you will intercept the last person."
Ouyang Tie was not talented in stealth and would only ruin things. Therefore, his task was the lightest. He only needed to hide and attack when the battle started.
…
As time passed, the five separated by hundreds of meters. With Ye Chen as the arrowhead, they slowly moved forward. Ouyang Tie and Xiao Xue followed at the back.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Trial Talisman lit up and the five human figures on the light screen disappeared.
"Leader, they disappeared."
Lu Ren Yi's voice rang out from the Trial Talisman. This voice was wrapped up by the Trial Talisman's power and directly entered Ye Chen's ears.
The rock forest was the same as the Dense Fog Forest; it was impossible to release one's soul force. The only method of communication here was true essence sound transmission. But, true essence sound transmission required one to know the other's position. This was very difficult to accomplish, but they soon discovered that the smelting trial symbol could be used to send true essence sound transmissions. Of course, they had to be in a small group.
Ye Chen deduced, "It should be one of the hidden rules of Stone Forest. When the distance between the two parties is within a certain range, the Trial Talisman will turn off its detection function. Now, we need to slow down and be patient."
…
After walking for a while, Ye Chen suddenly said, "Du Sha, go to my position. Xiao Xue, Ouyang Tie, be careful of the ambush from behind."
Xiao Xue asked hesitantly, "You suspect that they will circle behind us?"
"We have to be careful."
Originally, with the Trial Talisman's detection function, they only needed to move forward. But, with the Trial Talisman's detection function gone, they had no choice but to be careful. Team battles were ever-changing and required a strong ability to adapt to any situation. Letting Du Sha go to his position was because she was strong enough. Even if she encountered the Hundred Face Fox King Cui Bailie, it would be impossible for her to be instantly killed. As for him, he would move back and maintain a horizontal line with Xiao Xue and Ouyang Tie in case of a sneak attack. This way, he could attack and retreat and not be caught off guard.
"Leader."
Du Sha quietly arrived at Ye Chen's side.
Ye Chen said, "Be careful. Right now, your task is the most important. If they don't circle behind us, you will be responsible for delaying them for a while. Of course, I don't think they will take the risk to attack you without knowing who the enemy is. They will definitely be wary of the rest of us. So, if you encounter such a situation, you don't need to risk your life to fight them. Try to delay them as much as possible."
"Understood."
Du Sha nodded.
Soon, Ye Chen was five hundred meters to the right of Xiao Xue. While advancing, he carefully sensed the movements behind him.
After about half a cup of tea's time, the advancing speed of the five people slowed down. It wasn't because they sensed something, but because of the invisible killing intent. They knew that the enemy was not far from them and could attack at any time.
Lu Ren Yi majored in shadow profound. His whole body blended into the shadows of the rocks and became indistinguishable from the surrounding environment. At this moment, there was an inaudible movement from the front left.
"There's movement. No, it's probably a trap. Maybe it's a doppelganger. Oh well, I can alert them." Lu Ren Yi's shadow split into two. One of the shadows moved stealthily towards the source of the commotion.
When it was less than a hundred meters away from the source of the movement, the shadow suddenly stood up and silently flew over like a ghost. On the way, it turned into Lu Ren Yi's image.
Ding!
Both sides exchanged blows.
Their speed was extremely fast.
Lu Ren Yi endured and did not move.
"No, it's the real body."
Suddenly, Lu Ren Yi's face flashed with astonishment. His shadow doppelganger did not even last for a breath's time and was directly killed by the opponent. This made him understand that it was not the opponent's doppelganger, but the opponent's real body.
Without hesitation, Lu Ren Yi darted out, turning into countless shadows that were hard to distinguish.
Over at Du Sha's side, she was being attacked by dozens of red foxes. Although these red foxes were formed from demonic energy, they possessed astonishing speed and could even breathe fire. This was the innate ability of the Hundred Changes Fox King Cui Bailie — Hundred Foxes Attack.
With a wave of his palm, the red foxes were petrified one after another. Du Sha did not dare to be careless. Cui Bailie's real body must be one of the red foxes. If the opponent did not attack, it would definitely be an earth-shattering attack.
Behind.
Ouyang Tie's hair stood on end. There were actually three enemies attacking him. Could it be that the target team had circled to the back? Among these three people, one was Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, the other two were holding a spear, and the other had extraordinary leg skills. The three of them formed a triangle and instantly surrounded Ouyang Tie.
Xiu!
Xiao Xue subconsciously drew his bow and shot an arrow at Duan Fan, who posed the greatest threat to Ouyang Tie. The bowstring vibrated and twelve sharp arrows shot out, turning into twelve shadows.
Puff, puff, puff, puff!
Out of the twelve sharp arrows, four of them pierced through Duan Fan's body. However, Xiao Xue's face turned pale. That was a doppelganger, not the real body. He had fallen into a trap.
"Hehe, die!"
Duan Fan appeared behind Xiao Xue out of nowhere, his black dagger aimed at the back of his head.
Puff!
The one who died was not Xiao Xue, but Duan Fan.
His head flew up.
The one who attacked was Ye Chen.
However, this wasn't his true form. His true form was still hidden near Ouyang Tie. In the instant that Ouyang Tie was fighting with the other two, he shot out, his black dagger transforming into a black poisonous snake. The snake's tongue flicked out, and killing intent exploded out. Even with Ouyang Tie's defense, if he was hit by this attack, he would still be stunned. And once he was stunned, the two people fighting with him could kill him in an instant.
Puff!
This time, Duan Fan's head flew up again, blood splattering everywhere. This was his real body, and the one who attacked him was actually Ye Chen.
"What? Don't tell me he can teleport?"
Duan Fan's flying head mumbled. In the Rock Forest, not only could one's soul power not be released, the whole forest was also enveloped by a heavy power. In one breath, one could only travel two to three hundred meters, which was extremely slow. Xiao Xue's current position was more than six hundred meters away from here. If he wanted to come over, he would need at least two breaths of time. But now, not even half a breath had passed. How did the other party come over and hide so well that even he couldn't find him?
"He actually saw through Duan Fan's doppelganger. Then, this one must be fake. If I can kill one, I'll kill one." A figure appeared beside Xiao Xue. It was the Hundred Faces Fox King, Cui Bailie. The red fox that attacked Du Sha was created by his innate ability, not his real body.
Puff!
After killing Ye Chen's doppelganger, Cui Bailie attacked Xiao Xue. He had absolute confidence that he could kill his opponent in one move.
"Arrowless Shot!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xue seemed to be aware of his existence. He quickly released the bowstring, but there was no arrow on it.
Bang!
The invisible arrow Qi obstructed Cui Bailie for a moment. Xiao Xue took the opportunity to increase the distance between them, but in the next moment, he was blocked by another member of his opponent's team.
"You can't escape."
Cui Bailie was expressionless. Duan Fan had been killed, which meant that they were doomed to fail. But before that, they had to drag the other party down with them, so that their team would not be able to reach the top thirty.
"Cui Bailie, your opponent is me."
A stone wall formed between Cui Bailie and Xiao Xue. Du Sha had rushed over.
"Me too."
Lu Ren Yi waved his palm, and countless hidden weapons flew towards Cui Bailie.
Seeing this scene, Cui Bailie was instantly disappointed. He understood that he didn't even have the qualifications to drag the other party down. Although they had two people on their side, they couldn't kill three people in a short period of time. Even Du Sha alone wouldn't be easy to deal with.
On the other side, Duan Fan had been killed. The young man with the spear and the young man with the powerful leg technique had their faces ashen.
Puff! Puff!
Their heads fell to the ground. The two of them had been killed by Ye Chen in an instant.
In this way, Ye Chen's side had five people against two. Naturally, it was a piece of cake. Even if Cui Bailie had entered the Anatta State, it wouldn't be of any use.
"That was close!"
Lu Ren Yi wiped his sweat.
Previously, when his shadow doppelganger was killed, he thought that the other party was Duan Fan's real body. He didn't expect that it was still a doppelganger, Duan Fan's doppelganger. Then, he received a message from Ye Chen and immediately rushed over.
"It was indeed very close."
Ye Chen nodded.
There wasn't a single enemy in front of them. The other party's five people had all gone to the back. As for the front, only Duan Fan's doppelganger and the red fox that Cui Bailie had created with his talent ability were left behind to delay them. The other party's goal was obviously to kill Xiao Xue and Ouyang Tie in an instant. Ouyang Tie was their target. As for Xiao Xue, they would kill him if they could. If Ye Chen arrived, they would give up.
However, they underestimated Ye Chen's eyesight. Ye Chen instantly sensed that Duan Fan's doppelganger was near Xiao Xue. At the same time, Cui Bailie and another person were hiding nearby. Therefore, he first created a shadow doppelganger to deal with Duan Fan's doppelganger while his real body rushed over to Ouyang Tie's side. Of course, he had already reminded Du Sha and Lu Ren Yi to rush over to help Xiao Xue.
In short, in terms of strategy, Ye Chen's side had completely lost. After all, the opponent was Cui Bailie, an extremely cunning Fox King.
