Chapter 1750 1750: It’s Our Style to Kick Someone When They’re Down
"Thanks!"
As the players of Hell's Red Lotus began to form their formation, Wang Yu had already charged to the front of the crowd. Before the players of Hell's Red Lotus could react, Wang Yu expressed his gratitude, rolled on the spot, and slipped into the throng.
"???!"
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Baron Hell was momentarily taken aback, still trying to comprehend what had just happened when the monsters behind Wang Yu charged straight toward the players of Hell's Red Lotus.
"??!"
The players from Baron Hell and the monsters locked eyes, a bead of cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.
"Brothers, let me explain..."
"Treacherous villain! Justice will prevail!"
"So you were all in cahoots!!"
Baron Hell waved his hand, about to explain something, but his words were drowned out by the furious roars of the monsters chasing Wang Yu. These monsters didn't care for reasoning; seeing Wang Yu blend into the crowd, they immediately launched an attack on the players of Hell's Red Lotus.
There were at least forty to fifty angels and demons, and one could imagine the strength required to chase Wang Yu around like that.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Hell's Red Lotus players were instantly killed.
Of course, Baron Hell wasn't a pushover either... Although these demons and angels were aggressive, the players of Hell's Red Lotus numbered in the hundreds and would certainly not sit idly by.
After taking a wave of attacks, Baron Hell didn't think twice and ordered his subordinates to retaliate.
"Damn it, fight back!"
With Baron Hell's command, all the players of Hell's Red Lotus reformed their ranks and launched an assault on the angels and demons in front of them.
Baron Hell wasn't foolish; he knew he had been set up by Wang Yu. However, given the current situation, either retaliating might lead to a total wipeout or not retaliating would definitely result in one. Although he knew he had been manipulated, he had no choice but to act.
After all, there were so many of them; no one wanted to stand there and wait to die. Even if they were wiped out, it didn't matter; death was inevitable, and dying in battle at least offered a measure of dignity.
Though the strength of Wang Yu's pursuers was considerable, there were only a few dozen of them. In comparison, while the players of Hell's Red Lotus had slightly lower levels, they had the advantage of numbers and an orderly retreat with cooperation and support from formations.
For a time, they managed to hold off all the monsters pursuing Wang Yu.
The hate mechanism in <<Rebirth>> primarily revolves around damage hate.
The monsters initially pursued Wang Yu because he had killed the leaders of two major factions, activating the Demon and God Battlefield, which was a quest-related hate; ultimately, Wang Yu hadn't dealt any damage, so the monsters' hate was somewhat procedural.
However, once the players of Hell's Red Lotus struck back, the hate became tangible... Originally, these monsters' target was Wang Yu; after being attacked, their target shifted directly.
If they couldn't kill their fellow players, since the players of Hell's Red Lotus were so righteous, Wang Yu was willing to give them a chance.
Seeing the monsters locked in combat with the players of Hell's Red Lotus, Wang Yu chuckled in schadenfreude and stealthily circled around the battlefield, turning back the way he came.
However, he hadn't gone far when he encountered Fearless and his group catching up.
"Eh?"
Seeing Wang Yu emerge unscathed, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were all astonished, unable to help but exclaim, "What the hell, did you solve that group of monsters so quickly?"
The monsters chasing Wang Yu were all high-level threats, and even knowing Wang Yu was behind them, they found it hard to believe.
It had only been a few minutes since Wang Yu had run away, yet so many high-level monsters had been wiped out in such a short time. Did this guy even have any humanity left?
"Nope!"
Wang Yu responded with a mischievous grin, waving his hand, "I ran into Baron Hell... He helped me hold off the monsters."
"Baron Hell would help you?" Vainglory scoffed, full of doubt.
"Sure, heh heh." Wang Yu chuckled, "As for whether he wanted to or not, that's not up to him."
At this point, Wang Yu added, "Let's hurry up and leave; we shouldn't wait for those monsters to catch up."
Recalling the overwhelming swarm of monsters earlier, Wang Yu also felt a lingering fear...
Damn it, in all his time playing the game, the only monsters that could outrun him were at most in the single digits, but this time a whole group had come out—more than he had ever seen before. Facing such troublesome monsters, it was best to avoid them.
Moreover, Wang Yu's task prompt was to escape the Demon and God Battlefield, not to kill these monsters, indicating that they had nothing of value. He would not undertake a laborious and thankless task.
"Don't leave yet…"
Seeing Wang Yu about to leave, Fearless quickly stopped him, saying, "Let's go watch the fun."
"Are you crazy? What's so fun about this?" Wang Yu said, speechless. "Aren't you afraid of getting killed by monsters?"
"Why be afraid? Their target isn't us... You're not someone who can't outrun them", Fearless replied with a grin.
"Damn you!" Wang Yu sneered, "How bored do you have to be to want to join in on this fun?"
"Hehe!" Fearless chuckled, "It's not just for fun; we're here to collect our debts. Baron Hell still owes us money, so we can't just leave like this. It's our Quan Zhen Sect's style to pour oil on the fire and kick someone while they're down."
"Impressive!"
Wang Yu couldn't help but exclaim; it was the first time he had seen someone speak about instigating with such righteous fervor.
...
Soon, Wang Yu led the Quan Zhen members back to the place where they had encountered Baron Hell and his group.
Surprisingly, the group led by Baron Hell was holding its own; the hundreds of players were evenly matched against their pursuers, trading blows back and forth without clear superiority.
What had originally been nearly fifty pursuers now had dwindled to just over forty...
These pursuers consisted of both the Light and Dark factions, all fighting independently and chaotically.
In contrast, the players of Hell's Red Lotus had divided into dozens of smaller teams and one larger group, with the smaller teams responsible for holding the line while the larger group focused on taking them down one by one.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the pursuers were systematically eliminated.
"Wow, their tactical coordination is quite impressive."
The Quan Zhen group, hiding to the side, was somewhat taken aback by the scene, with Fearless unable to help but exclaim, "No wonder they can be the top dogs in this den of scum; it seems these guys have some skill."
"This won't do; without coordination, these monsters will eventually be wiped out", Ming Du remarked, stroking his chin. "Should I go add some fuel to the fire?"
"No need!"
Fearless casually pressed Ming Du down, saying, "Adding fuel won't be effective; we need to address the root of the problem."
"Root? How do we solve it?" Wang Yu asked, confused.
"Of course, we need to get these monsters to coordinate."
As he spoke, Fearless reached into his pocket and pulled out a radiant cross.
