Chapter 474: 216: Common leopard print hanging around_2
The world before them was swarming with monsters.
Behind them, more monsters.
To the left and right, even more monsters.
Indeed, they could rely on constantly running and dodging to break through a path, but this could not change the life-threatening danger they faced.
"We've cleared some of the monsters from behind, retreat!"
Tianxia Wuer bellowed.
He and Xingmeng Wuchang, protecting the Mage Huan Liuyan in the middle, began to fight back bloodily, battling the horde of zombies.
Before long, Tianxia Wuer and Xingmeng Wuchang were completely surrounded by the monsters behind them.
Tianxia Wuer had a feeling that he might have to use his trump card.
"You're going to use that?" Xingmeng Wuchang suddenly remembered the tactic Tianxia Wuer had used back at Nightmare Bridge.
It was a truly conquering attitude, and that ability also had a name that matched Tianxia Wuer perfectly.
"If not now, then when?"
Tianxia Wuer, facing the surging monsters, was already prepared to use his trick.
Xingmeng Wuchang said:
"I just think, that's a trump card that should be used when we meet the warden."
"Can't worry about that now, everyone else can die, but you and Liuyan cannot."
Just as Tianxia Wuer aimed his weapon at himself, seemingly about to use some strange power—
Huan Liuyan exclaimed:
"Wuer, look in front of you!"
As Tianxia Wuer and Xingmeng Wuchang fought, they had retreated some distance.
On the main street of the small town, enemies from both left and right should have converged behind them.
But eerily, the tide-like monsters from both sides...
Started fighting each other instead.
Eye monsters, zombies, swarms of giant mosquitoes, all sorts of weird giant bugs...
All entangled in a fierce brawl.
Limbs and fluids flew, organs and bones littered the ground.
The monsters on both sides fought as if they had deep, bitter hatred for each other.
Huan Liuyan noticed that many monsters bore a pinkish special effect.
The first thing that came to her mind was charm.
"What... what's going on here?"
Huan Liuyan was baffled.
The influx of monsters had opened a gap in the rear, greatly reducing the pressure on Tianxia Wuer and Xingmeng Wuchang.
This also meant that Tianxia Wuer might not need to use his trump card for the time being.
"It's Chairman Wuer! Big Brother Jiang, I see Chairman Wuer!"
The voice of the Snow Demon rang out, jolting Xingmeng Wuchang.
At this moment, Huan Liuyan also noticed that in the chaotic battlefield, a trail of pink bullets was darting through.
Monsters hit by these bullets would be marked with a pink effect.
Tianxia Wuer followed the sound and also saw the school.
He saw not only the Snow Demon but also Jiang Xianwu waving a Shock Wave and Guang Tongchen darting among the monsters, casting ice effects.
Xingmeng Wuchang was thrilled:
"You guys are here too!"
Then, he realized, could it be that this monster army was brought by Jiang Xianwu?
Just as Xingmeng Wuchang had said, if they encountered an insurmountable predicament, he would pin his hopes on Jiang Xianwu.
And now, just as Tianxia Wuer was about to use his trump card, a friendly monster army unit suddenly arrived...
This overjoyed Xingmeng Wuchang.
The small squad of three, all decked out in top-notch equipment, were clearing the monsters much faster than Huan Liuyan could...
Observing Guang Tongchen's graceful movements, Tianxia Wuer wondered...
Are we all really playing the same game? How do they have all these special effects...
Whereas I, Liuyan, and Xianwu, have nothing but tattered gear.
Always known for his overbearing presence, Tianxia Wuer was feeling a bit stunned at that moment.
Huan Liuyan found that... every shot the Snow Demon fired could convert an enemy.
It was like cheating.
This bastard in the leopard print shirt was eliminating enemies with a method beyond her imagination, with extreme efficiency.
That was the terrifying thing about the Snow Demon.
Originally, these bullets had a chance to trigger charm.
But when One Shot Soul's special property becomes hot and intense, its owner's chance for positive buffs has only one effect—a hundred percent trigger rate.
Therefore, even though the Snow Demon had already helped Jiang Xianwu and Guang Tongchen to craft a set of equipment...
The Snow Demon's every strike was a critical hit, and its output was still something Jiang Xianwu and Guang Tongchen couldn't match.
Even if the two were combined, they were not as efficient as the Snow Demon.
Zhou Baiyu felt that even One Shot Soul shouldn't be this powerful.
But then he thought about it, that's just how special abilities are. When someone's mindset and special ability match—like his orator skill at its peak, it's almost no different from hypnosis.
The Snow Demon today was probably inherently S+ luck.
Paired with One Shot Soul, it elevated this luck to an incomprehensible, extraordinary level.
Before long...
The trio known as Unrivaled discovered that there were no enemies left in the town. They were all allies.
The Marksman class was played by the Snow Demon as if it were a Summoner.
A mighty army of monsters, all were servants of the Snow Demon.
It was at this time that Waking Dream suddenly realized, could it be that this reversal of fate wasn't reliant on Jiang Xianwu... but on the Snow Demon instead?
"Are you okay, Unrivaled?"
Guang Tongchen, with a flash of his figure and a displacement skill built into the game, elegantly appeared in front of Unrivaled.
In the eyes of all the pioneers, the contest for the strongest pioneer was between Unrivaled and Guang Tongchen.
The two were comrades who entrusted their lives to each other on the Nightmare Bridge.
But after that, they became competitors who respected each other.
However, Guang Tongchen has always been slightly less imposing than Unrivaled.
It had nothing to do with strength, only with aura.
At this moment, Guang Tongchen was spirited, while Unrivaled seemed a bit haggard.
This contrast gave the appearance that the outcome between the two had already been decided.
"You should know, monsters of this level can't trouble me."
That was indeed the truth; Guang Tongchen knew that Unrivaled still had cards to play.
However, opportunities to see Unrivaled at a disadvantage were rare, and given that everyone present were old acquaintances, aside from Jiang Xianwu and the Snow Demon, the rest were legendary pioneers who had crossed the bridge together. Guang Tongchen joked:
"How come your gear is white? Does this game still drop white gear? Shouldn't it start with green gear?"
That hit a sore spot.
Not just for Unrivaled, but even Waking Dream donned a pained expression.
If it weren't for the appearance of the Snow Demon and others, they would have thought... that this stage of the game had no green gear.
It wasn't until Jiang Xianwu's party arrived that the Unrivaled trio found out that green gear did exist; they just hadn't dropped any.
Unrivaled, expressionless:
"You're probably relying on the Snow Demon, right? Your luck isn't any better than mine."
Huan Liuyan held her forehead; these two would fight as soon as they met.
Zhou Baiyu was also puzzled. The guild leader was usually a very low-key person, but today he was provoking Unrivaled.
Now, watching the two publicly recognized strongest pioneers, he understood a bit more—
Seeing the special reactions of the rival.
In other words, in the guild leader's heart, Unrivaled truly was a rival worth the title. Although they were courteous in the Pioneer's Voice, it was different now. The two had met, and with no outsiders around, their true natures were revealed.
So much so that the guild leader, usually a man of few words, was now quite smug.
Indeed, Guang Tongchen was unlucky. He and Jiang Xianwu were even having a hard time getting white gear, often only managing to drop gray equipment.
But Guang Tongchen said:
"Yes, I rely on the Snow Demon. The Snow Demon really is lucky, and your people are very useful."
Unrivaled's eyebrows twitched.
Embarrassed, the Snow Demon lowered her head.
Waking Dream sighed, "Ah, Unrivaled was confused at the time."
Seeing Unrivaled with a cold face, Huan Liuyan said:
"Alright, alright, don't start arguing as soon as you meet. Unrivaled, we were saved this time, we should thank them."
"Also, let's team up? Since the Snow Demon lady can drop gear, you wouldn't mind arming a few more teammates, right? After all, we don't know what will happen next."
The Snow Demon looked to Zhou Baiyu, letting him make the decision.
Huan Liuyan thought this was interesting.
Although there was a powerhouse like Guang Tongchen in the team, the Snow Demon lady was waiting for Jiang Xianwu to decide.
She realized that Jiang Xianwu must truly possess some exceptional abilities.
Now she would see if this cooperation could reveal them.
Zhou Baiyu nodded:
"I've been wanting to cooperate with Unrivaled too."
