Summoning Players into My Game

Chapter 97: Brothers, We've Got Work



On the hillside.

Over fifty members of the Three-Eyed Race instantly became spirited after Yakro gave the order. They split into two groups according to the original plan, with one group ambushing on the hillside and the other circling around to attack from behind the convoy.

"Yakro, everything has been arranged." The brawny three-eyed man wielding a large axe and wearing A6-grade armor licked his lips and said, "We can activate the jamming device at any time, just waiting for them to come."

"Be careful everyone, I've seen those members of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in battle before at Red Moon Mountain. They're like madmen, willing to kill even their own to take down the enemy, having no regard for death at all," said the three-eyed beauty named Yakro softly as she watched the approaching convoy through binoculars, "Don't let this backfire on you and ruin our reputation as Wanderers."

"Relax, I've already informed the brothers." The brawny man nodded, with a hint of disdain on his face, "They're just a bunch of lunatics. They can't compare to us, who have roamed far and wide in the wilderness for years. Their recklessness only scares gang members lurking in abandoned city zones."

"Alright, wait for my command to activate the jamming devices simultaneously." Yakro glanced at the already well-ambushed group and smiled slightly.

Just as the brawny man said, Yakro had great confidence in these Wanderers who had temporarily gathered together.

They roamed major cities, specialized in dirty and exhausting jobs that even wilderness gangs wouldn't touch, truly living on the edge of death. As long as someone was willing to pay, they'd gather to eliminate gangs in the wild.

However, doing this too much would make them targets of the local wilderness gangs. Despite their strength, they had no choice but to leave the cities and head to another one for survival.

Now, as a Wanderer quite infamous in the wilderness of Chasing Light City, Yakro had drawn much hostility from local gangs. As their temporary leader, she planned to leave after this job and head to the next city.

After all, she was notorious in the wilderness of Chasing Light City, even earning the nickname Poison Rose, having taken down many high-level figures from wilderness gangs, making it unsuitable for her to remain.

"Yakro, they're two hundred meters away, should we act?" The brawny man lay prone on the hillside, staring at the unsuspecting convoy, and reminded Yakro, "I see some people already can't hold back."

Despite being their temporary leader, not everyone in this group of Wanderers respected Yakro, even though she was an Extreme Quasi-Martial Artist.

This team included not only Yakro, but another Extreme Quasi-Martial Artist known as the Voracious Rogue, ambushing from the rear.

Additionally, there were two Quasi-Martial Artists and seven Extreme Apprentices. Each of them had skills, and if it came to a fight, the outcome was uncertain.

Yakro had the greatest fame in Chasing Light City, which is why the White Feather Gang appointed her as the leader this time.

"Let them wait if they still want the reward." Yakro commanded calmly, "Act when they're within one hundred and fifty meters. At this distance, the Voracious Rogue will complete the encirclement, and our archers will have the highest accuracy."

Yakro was accustomed to the disobedience of Wanderers, as people dwelling in the wild for years don't easily trust others. Anyone too trusting would have perished long ago.

Moreover, for a contract like eliminating a gang, beyond a minimal basic reward, most of the payment is per head.

Yakro's words indeed calmed down the impatient Wanderers, and they quietly waited for the convoy to enter within one hundred and fifty meters.

Meanwhile, on the gravel path, Fang Zhen, Li Ranxing, and a few others sensed something was wrong.

"Brother Zhen, I feel we're surrounded." The Outer Gunman in the back row looked around and whispered to Fang Zhen, "And there are quite a number of them."

"Yes, I sensed it too. They must be experts. It was only the sudden unnatural sway of the grass that tipped us off," Fang Zhen nodded slightly.

"Should we notify Brother Li in the back?" The Outer Gunman licked his lips and said with excitement, "After so many transports in the wild, it's rare to encounter a robbery. It'd be a shame if they got away."

"No need. Captain Li is even more keen than us. Didn't you notice how his lips are practically grinning?" Fang Zhen glanced at the large tricycle in the rear and smiled, "Today is a good day. When the fight begins, everyone should stay clear of the large tricycle. I don't want to lose everything we earn today to the martial arts hall."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhen, none of us are that foolish. Anyone who doesn't stay clear during the fight won't see a penny of today's extra earnings," The Outer Gunman chuckled.

"Alright, we'll first use bows and arrows to neutralize their ranged fighters. Then, everyone else will focus on a direct assault. Can't let the ones on the hill get away," Fang Zhen nodded, then shouted loudly, "Brothers, it's time, move!"

With Fang Zhen's shout, the players on the two large tricycles, as if prearranged, simultaneously distanced themselves and ran to the sides.

"Damn, they're running!" The brawny man on the hill panicked seeing this, "Archers, quickly attack and stop them!"

"Wait... something's wrong!" Yakro observed Fang Zhen's group splitting in both directions toward the woods and sensed something amiss. Usually, when people realize they're ambushed, they'd gather force to break through on one side, but Fang Zhen's group scattered in both directions.

However, Yakro's command did not stop the wandering archer on the hill, who all stood up, holding composite longbows, and unleashed a volley at Fang Zhen and his companions.

Over a dozen arrows fell, each more than a meter long and weighing over five kilograms, resembling cannonballs, piercing through trees instantly, and upon hitting the rocky ground, scattering fragments and leaving a small pit with a radius over twenty centimeters, with the entire arrow embedded halfway.

"Damn! B1 level arrows! Do NPCs have that much money?" Yiqiang Baju looked at the light blue metallic gleam of the arrow shot on the ground, eyes wide with amazement.

"They really are B1 level alloy arrows." Fang Zhen glanced at the light blue arrow that pierced through three large trees consecutively, almost hitting him. He pulled it from the ground and couldn't help but shine with excitement, "Everyone, be careful, remember the landing spots of those arrows, so we can recover them later!"

In the world of advanced martial arts, many players who had gone with Lin Qi to the Cangjing Weapon Shop had thoroughly investigated it, even compiling an alloy encyclopedia on the official forum, allowing those who hadn't yet entered the Descent of High Martial world to know that some weapons are made from graded alloys.

For a moment, many players present risked being shot at to specifically run to pick up B1 level arrows.

"Are these people crazy? What are they picking up those B1 level arrows for? Don't they have arrows themselves?" Yakro watched the reckless players, feeling completely bewildered.

Both sides were fighting fiercely, not thinking about how to escape or kill the other, yet they were willing to risk their lives to pick up B1 level arrows, even though it was madness, it wasn't that mad.

However, as the dozen wandering archers prepared for the next wave of shooting, Fang Zhen, Li Ranxing, Outer Gunman, and Yiqiang Baju, who were close to becoming extreme apprentices, all locked onto these archers.

"There are fourteen total! Li Ranxing, I'll handle the four on the left, you take the five on the right, the center five, Gunman and Baju, you figure it out!" Fang Zhen quickly arranged everyone's targets just with a glance, pulling his A5 level composite longbow to a full moon, and released two arrows in a single shot.

Li Ranxing unleashed three arrows simultaneously, while Outer Gunman and Yiqiang Baju each launched an arrow.

Although A5 level arrows do not match B1 level arrows in penetration power, the A5 level composite longbow under the explosive strength of the Shattering Stone Fist from near-extreme apprentices was more formidable than a heavy sniper rifle, which is a new shooting technique developed by Fang Zhen and his companions.

Apprentice Level martial arts power shot!

Under the power shot, even extreme apprentices struggle to withstand the force of A5 level arrows without using martial arts, especially since the four were divine archers, precisely predicting the movement trajectory of their targets.

Bang, bang, bang!

In an instant, seven out of fourteen archers were pierced through the forehead, even those with A5 level armor found it useless.

"Everyone, go! Take out those four divine archers first!" Yakro was shocked to see the seven individuals instantly dead.

The arrow speed, the power, the precision, even she felt greatly threatened, not to mention others.

At this point, not only Yakro noticed, the wandering archers understood the threat level of Fang Zhen and his group on site, prompting several wanderers holding heavy shields to rush at the quartet, with others using close combat weapons following closely behind.

A distance of over a hundred meters is merely five to six seconds for intermediate-level apprentices; once close to archers, dealing with them becomes very easy.

Meanwhile, at the rear, the gluttonous bandit wielding a long spear led over twenty people, charging at Fang Zhen and his group.

But before Yakro and his companions could run two or three steps, Fang Zhen and his group fired another volley, taking down seven more archers, including an extreme apprentice.

"Quick! Hurry and eliminate those four!" Yakro was no longer composed as before, even using apprentice-level step techniques to boost her speed by thirty percent, exceeding 33 meters per second.

Long-ranged attacks akin to heavy sniper rifles pose a significant threat to these quasi-martial artists, and if not dealt with promptly, the four divine archers could wreak havoc on the battlefield, which would have unimaginable consequences.

But no matter Yakro's urgency, she still couldn't stop Fang Zhen and his group from retreating while shooting arrows at a frequency of one per second.

Wanderers kept falling on the charging path, each arrow's sound accompanied by someone collapsing, instilling fear in the advancing wanderers.

Normally, as wanderers, they have long danced with death, but in all their wandering through cities, it was their first time feeling unable to cope with danger.

Nonetheless, wanderers remain wanderers, after nearly half of them died, not a single one retreated, and nearly thirty wanderers surrounded Fang Zhen and his group within ten meters, encircling sixteen individuals.

"At this distance, you four divine archers are doomed!"

The gluttonous bandit wielding the long spear, looking at Fang Zhen and the three others holding bows, revealed a victorious smile, and with an A6 level long spear in hand, lunged at the nearest Li Ranxing.
