Ten seconds before the gunshot was fired, the members of Red Cherry Blossom received the news that their captain, Xu Huai Shang, had died.
Even though their hearts were shaken, it did not affect their performance.
On the contrary … it made them even more determined to kill Feng Bujue and use this opportunity to get back at him …
After the gunshot … or rather, the moment the bullet hit Feng Bujue, the three members of Red Cherry Blossom immediately made their next move.
What Tie Haitang needed to do was simple — reload and continue firing.
Against an opponent like Brother Jue, even whipping his corpse would not be an exaggeration. After all, he was Feng Bujue … before he turned into white light and disappeared, anything could happen.
What Hyacinth needed to do was simple as well — stay beside Tie Haitang and act as an observer.
Considering the complicated terrain of Cherry Blossom Garden and the fact that there was an assassin in the enemy team who had gone missing … it was only logical for them to assign a bodyguard to the gunner.
As for Blood Rose's quest … it was slightly more dangerous. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, she decided to personally deal the finishing blow to Feng Bujue.
Since the [Giant Eagle] and [Fossilized Winged Dragon] were still on cooldown, Blood Rose summoned another creature that was more suitable for the terrain — the [Saber-Toothed Tiger]. She rode on the tiger's back and sped away.
There was no doubt that their ambush and pursuit were highly efficient and did not leave any leeway for Chen Rui.
No matter how one looked at it, Feng Bujue was already in a perilous situation.
However, victory and defeat … would often be reversed at the edge of such a situation.
Thud thud thud …
Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps came from the side of Tie Haitang and Hyacinth.
Hearing that, Tie Haitang could not help but freeze for a moment. However, she did not turn around to look. Instead, she continued reloading and aiming. Since she trusted her teammates, she was certain that if anything happened, Hyacinth would deal with it on her own or give her instructions.
As for Hyacinth … naturally, she turned to look.
She turned her head and saw a Doberman sprinting towards her.
At the same time, an ominous and strange feeling suddenly sprouted in his heart.
"This dog … is Wang Tanzhi's summon, isn't it?" As a professional player, he would not neglect the preparation of information before the match. Hyacinth soon realized the origin of the dog, but … a skill like [Draw a cross to curse you] would not be noticed by Red Sakura's analysis team. Therefore, regarding the 'strange feeling in his heart', Hyacinth attributed it to his own intuition.
"What is he trying to do?" Hyacinth's mind raced. "Wang Tanzhi's summoning skill should only be able to summon some normal canines to act as cannon fodder. They will not pose any real threat." She took out a submachine gun and aimed at the Doberman that was running quickly. "But why do I feel uneasy … Could it be …"
With that in mind, Hyacinth pulled the trigger, and normal bullets shot out from the barrel, knocking the dog to the ground.
The next second, Hyacinth turned around abruptly and activated a detection skill, [Owl's Gaze]. He used a unique 'vision wave' to scan his surroundings in all 360 degrees. (Tie Haitang was still kneeling on one knee while aiming, so he would not block his teammates' vision.)
However, she didn't find anything …
"Is it hiding behind a tree? Or … "Just as Hyacinth raised her head to look at the sky, something unexpected happened!
Bang!
Even though the summoned creature that was killed by the submachine gun two seconds ago dissolved into white light, the spot where it fell echoed with a loud explosion.
Then, a thick cloud of white smoke exploded, and it followed the wind … and headed toward Red Sakura and Hyacinth.
"This is bad!" Hyacinth's reaction was not slow, and she soon understood the enemy's trick. "He had the dog bite on a smoke grenade and run over from the wind … Once the summoned creature dies, the string in the dog's mouth will move, and the smoke grenade will explode …"
Bang!
But before the smoke could reach them, Tie Haitang fired her second shot …
They were about fifty meters away from Feng Bujue. Any further and they would not be able to find a gap in the trees. Any closer and they would be discovered by the enemy.
Compared to the first shot, the second shot should be more effective because Feng Bujue was in an 'orz' state after being shot.
Logically speaking, for someone who was shot in the torso by a special corrosive bullet, it was already a miracle that he did not die on the spot. It was impossible for him to dodge the second shot in such a state …
But Feng Bujue managed to do it. He used the action of a sea lion holding a ball and flopped on the spot. This small 'flop' caused the second bullet to brush past his stomach, and it missed its mark.
…
At the same time, inside the disciplinary team's meeting room …
"Hey hey … How is that even possible?" Lying Drunk looked at the screen and complained.
"The time between the two shots was less than six seconds. How did he manage to do that?" Understanding Death was also confused.
"Even for me, with the help of Celestial Listener, the chance of successfully dodging the bullet at this distance is less than sixty percent, and … Feng Bujue was shot earlier," Sashimi said with a straight face.
"Haha …" Meng Jingchan's attitude was different from the rest. He took a drag from his cigarette and sipped from his beer. He looked at the other end of the table with a smile. "Why don't you ask Phantom Dawn about this?"
At that moment, Phantom Dawn had also changed from his usual arrogant attitude and was looking at the screen seriously.
After hearing what Brother Zen said, Phantom Dawn thought about it and said, "There are three main reasons why he was able to dodge that shot." He extended three fingers and continued. "First, after Tie Haitang heard the footsteps of his summoned creature, his action hesitated for 0.8 seconds. Even though that was not long … from the actual situation, it did affect the result of the shot." He put down one finger and continued. "Second, after Feng Bujue was shot, he was already at the brink of death, but in the 1.4-1.6 seconds after he was shot, he used some kind of method to make his injury disappear. It was as if his body had 'rewound' to the state it was several seconds ago."
At this point, there was a subtle change in the expressions of the four, but they did not interrupt Phantom Dawn. Instead, they waited for him to continue.
"Third …" Phantom Dawn put down another finger and raised the last one. "After he was shot, Feng Bujue must have known the angle, speed, power of the bullet, the type of bullet, the shooter's gun, location, distance, and so on. With these data as the basis for the 'zero time difference calculation' and the fact that his body had recovered … it was not that hard to pull off that kind of evasive maneuver."
After hearing that, Phantom Dawn's three teammates had serious expressions on their faces.
Only Meng Jingchan maintained his usual expression and sighed. "Sigh … certain things are better left unexplored …"
…
Back to the match …
"Hmm … That was close …" After Feng Bujue was done with his struggle, he turned around and leaped up.
He had dodged the bullet, but that did not mean that he was out of danger.
In reality, the danger was far from over because Bloody Rose, who was riding on the saber-toothed tiger, had reached Brother Jue's side. She wanted to kill him before he could regain his footing.
"Roar!"
At that moment, there was a tiger's roar. The saber-toothed tiger opened its bloody maw and exhaled a yellow blast of air.
This AoE attack came fast, wide, and powerful. Feng Bujue was in the air, so he could not evade it. He could only curl his body and take it head-on.
As a result, his Life Points that had just been rewritten by REWRITE were reduced by a few more points.
Furthermore, Feng Bujue was pushed back by the shockwave, and he was still in a disadvantageous position in the air.
"Hmm … the two on the other side have moved away …" Even though he was in danger, Brother Jue's heart was calm and rational. His five senses were collecting information from his surroundings. "… I think I saw dogs and smoke earlier … Xiao Tan must have played some trick on them to force them to react." He turned his attention back to Cao Xin. "Regarding Eunuch Cao … this old eunuch sure is a gentleman …"
Indeed, when Cao Xin saw the wound on Brother Jue's chest, he stopped moving.
From the way he described Yuan Qi earlier, it was not hard to tell that Cao Xin did not like to bully others with numbers.
Therefore, he decided to wait and see. He would observe the situation first before making a decision.
"Anyway … for the time being, I should only need to deal with Bloody Rose alone." After Feng Bujue looked around, he finally focused his attention on the opponent who was trying to kill him. By the way, it only took him 0.3 seconds to think about it.
"Bloody Rose, right? I have seen your post on the forum. "After analyzing the situation, Feng Bujue began his battle.
Everyone knew that … when Brother Jue fought, it was unavoidable for him to argue with his opponent because language was one of his weapons.
"Oh?" Bloody Rose threw five [Electric Net Grenades] at Brother Jue and asked, "So what?"
"Heh … You are very creative …" Feng Bujue laughed and said, "Learn from me … How to cook … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah …"
When he said the first half of the sentence, he instantly activated [Body Enhancement Spell – Modified]. Then, he stepped sideways in midair and rushed out …
As a result, when he spoke the second half of his sentence, he was hit by an electric grenade and was electrocuted for a few seconds by a spiderweb-shaped electric net.
"Even after suffering such a severe electric shock, he still managed to finish his trash talk …" Seeing this scene, Bloody Rose couldn't help but admire him.
Of course, she didn't admire Brother Jue's perseverance in trash-talking.
The thing about Feng Bujue that really impressed the man was … when he was surrounded by the Electric Grenades, he managed to grasp the situation in the blink of an eye and came up with the most correct solution — to sacrifice the pawn to save the cart.
Just now … Feng Bujue was surrounded by five electric grenades when he lost his momentum. In that situation, if he hesitated and worried about his gains and losses … he would have been hit by all five electric grenades.
But Brother Jue … did not hesitate to run in a straight line. At the cost of putting on an electric net, he rushed out of the electric net as fast as he could without making any big movements.
"Looks like I have no choice but to drink this …" Two seconds later, Feng Bujue finally steadied himself when he was about ten meters away from his opponent. He removed the layer of electricity that had been drained from his body and gulped down a large bottle of Life Points Recovery Potion.
Tu tu tu tu …
Before he could wipe his mouth clean, Bloody Rose had already taken out a Perfect Grade (Growth-type Equipment) firearm and fired at him, beating him until he was rolling on the ground.
"This is not going to be easy …" Feng Bujue thought to himself as he ran. "Looks like I used Mad Kill too early … The data shows that this woman has' that summoned creature 'as her trump card. If I rush in recklessly, I'll most likely lose my life …" He took the time to glance at Cao Xin. "Sigh … If Eunuch Cao is more thick-skinned and joins her in attacking me, then I can use Frenzy to turn the tables. Unfortunately, it looks like this woman really doesn't want to make a move …"
After giving it some thought, Feng Bujue made up his mind. "There's no other way … I'll have to call that woman out to help."
…
Let's put aside the fact that Brother Jue had summoned the Blood Zombie God.
On the other side of the cherry tree garden …
One minute ago, after Tie Haitang fired her second shot, Hyacinth indicated that it was time for her to get up and move.
The appearance of the 'smoke dog' … meant that Wang Tanzhi was nearby. He was most likely hiding behind the trunk of a certain tree or within the canopy of the tree.
Although Haitang and Hyacinth were fighting two against one, having the two of them, who only had C Mastery in Fighting, face an assassin in the middle of a smokescreen … that was a bit of a suicide mission.
Thus, after the two of them left the initial shooting location, they circled around the smokescreen and headed upwind (Since the dog came from upwind, the summoner was most likely there as well).
However … as Haitang and Hyacinth were running, suddenly …
Pa!
A gunshot rang out, coming from tens of metres in front of the two of them.
Tie Haitang, who specialized in shooting and firearms, immediately recognized … that was not the sound of a modern gun. Instead, it was the sound of a flintlock.
"Strange …" Three seconds later, Haitang's expression changed. She turned to her teammate and said, "This shot … seems to have been fired into the sky …"
"Yes, it was fired into the sky."
Before Hyacinth could say anything, another voice responded to Haitang.
In that instant, Li Ruo Yu's figure suddenly appeared ten metres in front of them.
"How did you … how did you …" Hyacinth was shocked.
"How did you appear here?" Another voice spoke up, coming from the shadows of the trees. The one who spoke up … was none other than Hua Jian. "Heh … since you'll find out when you watch the recording, there's no harm in telling you now."
As they spoke, Xiao Tan appeared from the direction of the gunshot. In his hand … was a black flintlock that was still emitting smoke.
