"Hmm?" Liu Sanfeng was shocked by the rebounding attack, but he was still able to react in time.
His feet moved swiftly, and his body moved to the side, dodging the counterattacking flame spear.
"Phew … That was close." Liu San Feng thought to himself, "Seems like he still has some strength …" Until now, he still hadn't realized that something was wrong. In the short period of time that he was readjusting his stance, he was still planning his counterattack. "Seems like the opponent is an expert who specializes in spirit spells … Then I'll switch to close combat …"
He was too naive, or rather … he was overthinking things.
In the next second, before he could steady himself, Li Ruoyu's figure had already appeared behind him.
Liu Sanfeng didn't even see how she moved because their speed and reflexes were not on the same level.
When the deadly sword touched the back of Liu Sanfeng's neck, he realized that he was the one who couldn't see the difference in their abilities.
…
One minute later, in another part of the ruins …
"What's going on?" Elementary School Dog quickly noticed his teammate's death through the team tab, which made him extremely surprised. "Three Maple is actually dead … What in the world did he encounter?"
"Captain!" Two seconds later, Mr. Lonely, who was a few meters away, shouted at Elementary School Dog, "Look at the team tab!"
"I saw it …" Elementary School Dog replied, "Liu Sanfeng died …"
"Captain …" Mr. Lonely seemed to have fallen into despair. The situation was terrible for them, "If this goes on … I'm afraid we'll …"
"Don't panic … Let me think about it." Elementary School Dog forced himself to be calm and replied.
"Alright …" Mr. Lonesome could only agree as such.
At this moment, both of them were in a state of confusion. The only difference was that as the captain, Elementary School Dog couldn't give up. Even if he was at his wits' end, he had to act like he could still do something in front of his teammates …
Two hundred meters away from them, Xiao Ling, who had chosen a new shooting spot, appeared to be very relaxed because Hua Jian's figure had already appeared in her line of sight.
"He's here …" Xiao Ling muttered to herself when she saw Hua Jian, "But … Where did my cousin go …"
It didn't take long for Hua Jian to find Xiao Ling's position and quickly went over. Although Primary School Dog and When I Miss You Lonelier had discovered Hanabi's whereabouts, they were unable to stop the two from meeting up with Underworld Frontline due to Xiao Ling's firepower.
"Xiao Ling, are you alright?" Hua Jian came to Xiao Ling's side and asked immediately. As a Healer, the first thing she thought of was whether or not her teammates needed healing.
"I'm fine," Xiao Ling replied. "I'm not hurt at all." When she said this, her eyes never left the enemy's bunker for even a second, and the gun in her hand was held steadily. "On the other hand, one of them is already dead, and the other two are hiding over there … There's a 'fourth person' … whose whereabouts are unknown."
"As for the fourth person … Ruo Yu and I saw him on the way here." Hua Jian listened to Xiao Ling's words while digesting the information. She quickly replied, "Ruo Yu should be fighting with him right now."
"Oh?" Xiao Ling was slightly startled when she heard this. Then … she chuckled. "Heh … I'm relieved then." She asked again, "How long ago did you guys meet the fourth person?"
"About five minutes ago," Hua Jian replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ling shouted to the front, "Hey! Your teammates elsewhere have already died, right? It's futile to wait any longer. "
Xiao Ling "listened to the information", "analyzed", and "made predictions and plans" very quickly. When she heard that "Ruo Yu should be fighting with him right now", the "fourth person" of Team Corn … was already a dead man in Xiao Ling's heart. This was because she was certain that Ruo Yu was almost unbeatable in a one-on-one battle.
Perhaps her thoughts were somewhat subjective, or perhaps a little arrogant. But judging from the story later … this was indeed the truth.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Ling asked for the time again. She estimated that … Ruo Yu would only need one to three minutes to kill someone in a one-on-one battle. Since five minutes had passed, the opponent was definitely dead.
At this time, she should take advantage of this and use words to provoke the opponent. On one hand, she could create the illusion that "we know everything". On the other hand, she could also taunt him …
With these two things at the same time, the opponent's emotions would be easily affected. Then, he might come out with a "gambler's mentality" and die.
"Captain … they …" On the other side, Mr. Lonely fell into the trap. He looked at Elementary School Dog in a panic and stopped talking.
"I understand …" Elementary School Dog said in a low voice. "But … we can't be rash …" He paused for a moment and continued, "We have to stay calm. The current situation may not be disadvantageous to us …" He signaled in the direction of the enemy with his eyes and lowered his voice. "Think about it … when the enemy ambushed us, there was only one person. And now, there is only one person who came after seeing the signal flare. What does this mean? " He was obviously asking himself a question. "From how I see it, the situation is very likely … when Three Maple was on his way here, he met the other three members of the enemy team. And he used his life as the price to take down two of the enemy's heads …"
"Is … is that so …" Hearing this, Mr. Lonely really calmed down.
"That's right … that must be it." Elementary School Dog was quite confident in his own deduction. "Otherwise, why would there be only one enemy?" The more he spoke, the more excited he became. "Now, the person with the marksmanship specialization is taunting us again … This makes me even more certain that … there are only two of them left. The ones who are really anxious are them … so they chose to bluff. "
"That's right!" Regardless of whether other people believed it or not, Mr. Lonely believed it. "We almost fell into their trap again."
"Humph …" Brother Dog scoffed. "I can basically see that the person who ambushed us is most likely the leader of the enemy team. Be it in terms of ability or intelligence, she is the strongest … We were ambushed by her, so we did lose one person. But … "He suddenly changed the topic." That 'one person' gap no longer exists. We are now two against two. Other than losing a bit of Life Points, we are not at too much of a disadvantage. Furthermore … the teammate who came to her aid might have been injured by Three Maple already, right? "
Based on his calculation, it appeared like they had the upper hand …
"Hmm …" Mr. Lonely added. "No wonder he is the leader. I almost lost my composure …"
"Hah … It's fine." Brother Dog laughed. "Listen to me, calm down. Both of us are fighting specialization players. Once we get close, the person with the marksmanship specialization is no match for us. What we need to do now … is to keep the distance and see who can last the longest. Once the enemy loses their patience and attacks us first, that will be our chance. "
…
Leaving aside what kind of result Primary School Dog's godlike analysis and tactical thinking had brought to them, let's take a look at the situation on Xiao Tan's side.
Xiao Tan studied it for a long time in front of Tuparese's eyes, but he still could not figure out what was going on.
"Uncle, I have observed it at many different points in time, but …" When Xiao Tan said that, he had already moved his eyes away from the giant eye. "Ever since the goddess unleashed her divine punishment, her 'past' has disappeared."
"I know that," Tuparese replied.
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was startled when he heard that.
"If I could see that 'past' directly …" Tuparese continued. "I would have found the goddess a long time ago."
He had a point. If he could see that directly from the giant eye, why would he need help from others?
"Huh? Then what do you want me to see? "Xiao Tan asked again.
"I want you to remember what you have just seen, and then …" Tuparese replied. "Then look at the Eye of Amosos."
"Oh … I see. Looking for it by comparing the 'past' and the 'present' …" Feng Bujue muttered as he listened.
"Uh …" Xiao Tan did not understand again. "Uncle … You should have seen the Eye of Amosos many times, right?"
"No …" Tuparese replied. "The three of us can only see the eye that we are protecting, but you … You don't have such restrictions. As long as you can withstand the interlaced mental impact, you can — "
"Hey, hey, hey …" Xiao Tan interrupted him and repeated the key words. "Interlaced mental impact?"
"It's the kind of pain that you experienced earlier," Tuparese replied. "Don't worry, after contacting one eye, the impact of communicating with the second eye and 'first sight' will be much smaller. The difficulty lies in the initial contact. If you are unlucky … you will have a mental breakdown or even die. "
"Hey!" Xiao Tan was shocked. "You should have told me about this before I saw it!"
"What an idiot … Would you have seen it if I told you?" Feng Bujue laughed.
Objectively speaking, Brother Jue thought that Tuparese's approach was correct, but logically, he was still on Xiao Tan's side.
"Young man, you are not an ordinary person. I believe you can do it … That's why I brought you back to the temple." Tuparese's answer sounded reasonable, but if one thought about it … It was a hooligan's act of gambling with another person's life.
"Forget it …" Xiao Tan was still in a good mood. "I survived anyway …"
Xiao Tan did not want to lose his temper because these NPCs looked quite strong. If they became enemies, it would not be good for him, and it would not be good for his teammates in the ruins either.
"Then … Please come with me," Tuparese said. "Amosos is already waiting for you at the door of another stone chamber …"
