Wow, look! A big red-named player is charging over, and his equipment is so good! Ah! It's Qing Cai Bai Yu Tang! Everyone, hurry up and get him! We might even get his purple ring to drop! Go, go, go!"
Amidst the chaos, I looked at my name, and sure enough, it had turned bright red. The sword of darkness glowed faintly with a Blood Red color, which was quite beautiful. Of course, only perverts or murderers would find it beautiful.
Moving quickly, over a dozen fireballs simultaneously struck me. I broke out in a cold sweat. Upon closer inspection, I found that I had only lost less than 200 health. It turned out that the Mages attacking me were too far below my level. I estimated that their highest-level Mage was around level 27, while I was level 35. The 8-level difference was enough to cause most of their magic skills to be resisted.
Following my original plan, I quickly charged inward, hugging the bulwark at the valley entrance. The distance that should have taken only 10 seconds became incredibly difficult. Among the dozens of people Kuang Zhan brought, nearly 20 were ranged attackers. Fortunately, not many Archers had Concussion Shot, and even if they did, such a status skill would be hard to hit me with. For a while, there was no major life-threatening danger. The large bottles of red potions I bought from the Exchange with gold coins played a crucial role; the 1000 points of health restored each time were enough to recover the health I lost.
Kuang Zhan and several high-level players were originally guarding the center of the intersection. Seeing me charge in from the left, they all immediately surrounded me.
"Whoosh~!"
A Blasting Arrow exploded on my shoulder with flames, instantly deducting 256 points of my health. It hurt a lot!
High-level Archers had arrived. I had to break through before his Concussion Arrow's cooldown ended, otherwise, I might die before succeeding.
With a "swish" of my sword, I sent a Mage in front of me back to the city, deftly picked up the staff he dropped, and then charged forward without stopping. A Combo was unleashed, and a high-level Swordsman was instantly dealt with, dropping a green greatsword. I took everything!
Field battles, I love field battles!
After cleanly and swiftly killing over a dozen players, I suddenly had the feeling of having achieved ten consecutive ALL KILLs against opponents in a team competition back in the day. Playing games, that's the feeling you want!
Kuang Zhan shouted angrily from behind: "You idiots, hurry up and catch him! Archers use Concussion Shot, Mages use Ice magic! Don't let him pass!"
I secretly chuckled. A small gang's organization is indeed this bad. To chase just me, everyone gathered in a straight line behind me, and not a single person utilized the principle of synchronized movement and attack. It could be said that this group, besides being numerous, was just a bunch of mad dogs that only knew how to bite chaotically.
"Pfft~!"
A Frost Arrow struck me, and my movement speed slowed down accordingly.
"Damn it, to get hit by a slow-down spell just as I was about to break out!" I cursed under my breath, then activated the Mana Imprisonment skill. A yellow light quickly rose from my feet, and my previously frozen body immediately regained its ability to move, and my health was recovering at a rate of 120 points every three seconds.
I only had 30 seconds. The sword of darkness, with its icy blossoms, slashed at Kuang Zhan, who was blocking my way, followed by a Heavy Strike. The nearly thousand points of damage shocked everyone around. Unfortunately, their Priest immediately fully healed Kuang Zhan's lost health, so I had to abandon the crazy idea of "single-handedly slaying the enemy's leader."
Another Combo was unleashed, and a Knight holding a shield, who prided himself on his high defense, instantly turned into white light, leaving behind a level 22 blue shield and a level 25 Knight's spear.
Quickly picking up the equipment, no one could stop me anymore. The Blood Red glow emanating from the sword of darkness appeared quite ghastly in the night. Several Swordsmen even timidly retreated a few steps.
Kuang Zhan was furious, roaring, "What the hell are you afraid of? Get him!"
"But Boss, his health seems impossible to deplete, and his attack is too high. None of us can withstand two hits from him..."
"Damn it, you good-for-nothings! Go up and explode him together! Tonight's dinner is on me, and you can pick any girl you want at Da Lang Tao Sha tonight!"
Perhaps it was money or women that reignited the fighting spirit of these hooligans. This time, they achieved unprecedented coordination, with dozens of spells and several Swordsmen's Heavy Strikes landing on me almost simultaneously.
A dizzying blur. When I opened my eyes again, I was shocked to find that my 2420 health had suddenly dropped by more than half. How could this continue?
Swinging my sword, I killed the nearest Mage and immediately charged out through that small opening. Nothing could hold me back anymore. I didn't even have time to pick up the equipment, rushing directly into the forest ahead, with various spells and arrows whistling after me.
After entering the forest, the duration of Mana Imprisonment ended. I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Those guys behind me, who didn't have much agility, simply couldn't keep up. A few Thieves followed from a distance, but dared not approach.
As soon as I opened my communicator, I heard Lu Xuehan's voice: "Watch out for the left, there's a level 27 Thief there. Sister Lin, stop killing, you're going to turn red-named. Xin Yu, use Concussion Arrow to stun him. Huh? Lin Fan has already broken through and come in!"
I immediately said with a smile, "Do you see the intersection of our two locations on the planar coordinates? Let's meet there. You bring the Thief over, and I'll kill him. I'm already red-named anyway!"
I ran north for nearly three minutes. When Lu Xuehan, Xin Yu, and Xu Lin appeared in my sight, I couldn't help but want to laugh. These three were among the top ten experts in the entire city, yet they looked so disheveled. Two Swordsman-like figures followed behind them, and there must have been many Thieves hidden in the darkness.
"Lin Fan, stop the Swordsmen! Xue Han's mana is almost gone, we can't hold on much longer!"
Xin Yu shouted from afar, immediately drawing the two Swordsmen over. I quickly went to meet them, greeting them warmly with Ice Seal Slash!
With a Combo and Xin Yu's arrow back, one Swordsman was instantly killed. The other wasn't doing well either; Lu Xuehan's Curse and Xu Lin's Frost Arrow quickly blocked his path. Xin Yu and I immediately kicked him while he was down, sending him back to the city, where he dropped a green armor leg piece.
"Whoosh~!"
A Blood Red light flashed behind Lu Xuehan. The enemy's Thief had made his move!
