Starstreak and the others stood guard on a small, flat hill near Blue Wave Rock. With a good view of the area, they could easily grasp the situation around them. The only problem was that the monsters here respawned very quickly, so they had to clear them all at once.
At this moment, Starstreak and the others were busy clearing out several dozen Level 62 Mountain Gargoyles.
"Boss Starstreak, we have a new situation! Deep Trace's team is under attack by Ling Yi's people! They're requesting reinforcements!" a Level 57 Ranger suddenly reported.
"Ling Yi dares to take the initiative to attack?" Starstreak, who commanded the battle, could not help but smile. "It seems I haven't learned my lesson yet! Notify the nearest team to reinforce them! Also, tell the other teams to hurry over! Don't let them escape!"
Upon hearing Starstreak's command, the Level 57 Ranger immediately relayed the message to the nearest team.
With this, the nearest team would only need three minutes to arrive. Two teams would be more than enough to pin down Ling Yi's members, while the other two teams would arrive within five to ten minutes. With four teams surrounding Ling Yi, Starstreak would have a very difficult time escaping.
After Starstreak issued the command, he immediately ordered his team to retreat. Instead of clearing out the Mountain Gargoyles, they headed straight for Ling Yi's location.
In Starstreak's opinion, four teams were more than enough to deal with Ling Yi's 100-man team. However, since Shredded Soul had personally given him an order, he had to take it seriously. As a precaution, he had to make a trip there personally.
Elsewhere, Fierce Snake and the others fought with increasing vigor. As a result, Miracle's team continued to lose members. Meanwhile, the Tier 2 Elementalist leading the team grew increasingly shocked.
"What's going on here?"
The Tier 2 Elementalist stared at Fierce Snake and the others in astonishment.
As they fought, Fierce Snake and the others grew stronger. Originally, they had possessed many weaknesses, but as they fought, those weaknesses gradually disappeared. At the same time, the range of their body's movements became smaller and smaller. Their excess movements also decreased.
It was as if Fierce Snake and the others had just obtained a new body and were adapting to it. Previously, the Tier 2 Elementalist's Spells had more or less flustered Fierce Snake, but now, Fierce Snake could chase after him while defending himself against his Spells.
As the Tier 2 Elementalist watched in shock, Fierce Snake's control over his body improved. He no longer needed to defend himself as he used Windshadow Footwork, a Basic Combat Technique that he had yet to learn. As if he had transformed into a gentle breeze, Fierce Snake's Spells easily passed through the Tier 2 Elementalist's Spells.
In just a few moves, he dodged all of the spells. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Elementalist and viciously swung his greataxe.
Tier 2 Skill, Thunder Strike!
Suddenly, the greataxe transformed into a streak of lightning as it descended on the Tier 2 Elementalist. Whether it was its speed or Strength, the Tier 2 Elementalist had no hope of blocking or dodging the attack.
Boom!
A blue lightning bolt struck the ground, creating a crater. The Tier 2 Elementalist, who had only one-third of his HP remaining, disappeared from the forest along with his Magic Shield. A set of mage robes then fell to the ground.
Miracle Society's remaining members despaired when they saw this.
The Tier 2 Elementalist leading the team was a bona fide Refinement Realm expert. He could take on several ordinary Tier 2 experts by himself, but now that their leader was dead, how were they supposed to deal with Fierce Snake?
"Run!"
Instinctively, Miracle Society's members scattered and fled.
"Run? Do you think you can escape? "Fierce Snake picked up the robe from the ground and chased after the other Miracle Society members.
The Basic Combat Device had increased their Life Ratings, and their Basic Attributes had increased significantly. It was as if they had activated a minor Berserk Skill. Their HP had doubled, and their Movement Speed had improved significantly. Now, Fierce Snake's Movement Speed was even faster than that of Tier 2 Assassins fully geared in top-tier equipment.
After less than a minute, Miracle Society's 100-man elite team had been annihilated. Fierce Snake's team, on the other hand, hadn't suffered a single casualty.
"Boss Fierce, Miracle Society's other teams are already on their way to your location," one of the Assassin's scouts reported in the team chat. The Assassins who were scouting at Bitao Rock suddenly reported in the team chat, "The fastest team will be able to reach you in two or three minutes."
"Two or three minutes?" After giving the matter some thought, Fierce Snake turned to the other Tier 2 members and asked, "That should be enough time. Brothers, rest up and prepare for the next wave."
"Boss Fierce, you're underestimating us! We haven't even warmed up yet!"
"That's right! Boss Fierce, you were too sneaky! You fought their commander alone and left us to deal with the small fries. We didn't even get a chance to test out our new combat techniques! "
None of the Assassins objected to Fierce Snake's decision. On the contrary, their fighting spirit soared. They had discovered how powerful the Basic Combat Device was. Due to the improvement to their Life Ratings, they could now forcibly use combat techniques that they couldn't use on their own. This would be of great help to them in the future.
Of course, these combat techniques couldn't be used carelessly. Every single combat technique consumed a considerable amount of Stamina, not to mention, forcefully using them would consume even more Stamina. Hence, if they wanted to use these combat techniques, they had to use them against powerful enemies. Tier 1 experts weren't qualified to use these combat techniques.
"Good! I'll let you have it next time! "Fierce Snake laughed.
After Fierce Snake's group rested for a moment, Miracle's second team arrived. However, as soon as Miracle's team arrived, Fierce Snake's group charged at them before they could even get a good look at their surroundings.
Now that Fierce Snake and the others had adapted to the Basic Combat Devices, their combat power had soared once more. After annihilating Miracle's team, they quickly retreated, leaving the two teams that had caught up to them empty-handed.
"What did you say? Ling Yi killed two teams with just 20 people?! " Starstreak's complexion paled as he listened to his subordinate's report. After calming his anger, he said coldly, "Send me the battle videos of the team's battles. Have all teams search in pairs! I'll be there soon! "
Starstreak disconnected the call and began to inspect the battle videos he had received.
How is this possible? Since when did Ling Yi Society have so many powerful experts? When Starstreak saw the battle videos of Fierce Snake's group, his anger vanished, replaced by a grim expression.
Not only had 20 players annihilated a 200-man team, but they hadn't even lasted long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Initially, he hadn't believed this to be true. Even if Fierce Snake and the others were all Tier 2 players, they shouldn't have been so late to provide reinforcements. However, after watching Fierce Snake and the others fight, he finally understood why.
Although Fierce Snake and the others hadn't reached the Refinement Realm standard yet, their Attributes, extraordinary perception, and reaction speed, as well as footwork combat techniques allowed them to rival peak experts in terms of combat power. Shi Feng was confident that he could defeat Fierce Snake alone, but he would need to spend a lot of time doing so.
If he had to face two or three experts on the same level as Fierce Snake, he could escape with his life. Meanwhile, every member of Fierce Snake's 20-man team was roughly on the same level. Defeating a 100-man team would be child's play. If he led a 100-man team instead, he'd most likely lose.
"Starstreak, what's wrong?" a Level 58, Tier 2 Ranger asked curiously when he noticed the change in Starstreak's expression.
"It's nothing." Shaking his head, Starstreak said, "Notify all teams to give up on searching for Ling Yi's team."
"Give up?! That's an order from Vice Guild Leader Shredded! "the Tier 2 Ranger exclaimed.
"I understand. I'll report this to Vice Guild Leader Shredded," Starstreak said, nodding.
"Even if you're giving up, you should have a reason, right?" the Tier 2 Ranger asked.
"A reason?" Starstreak smiled bitterly. "Does the fact that all 20 members of Ling Yi's team are experts with combat power close to peak experts count as a reason?"
What a joke!
