Chapter 1781 1781: Enemies and Allies Indistinguishable
Watching Wang Yu leave, Fearless turned his head and pointed in two different directions, instructing Darknorth Fisher and Frost Blade, "You two go that way and lead them around; wait for my command later."
The players of Chun Jiang Shui Nuan were scattered all over the mountains, seemingly breaking their forces into small, easily defeated units. However, it wasn't realistic to just nibble away at them bit by bit.
After all, the players of Chun Jiang Shui Nuan weren't fools; they could see the number of players displayed above the battlefield. If squads from their side disappeared one after another, it would definitely attract the attention of other players, and they would surely gather together again.
So, a slow and gradual approach wouldn't work here; they needed to gather these people quickly and devour them before they realized what was happening.
With over three hundred people, it was impossible to swallow them all at once, but dividing them into three groups would obviously make it easier.
"Understood!"
Having played games with Fearless for so long, Frost Blade and the others naturally guessed Fearless's intentions. The two quickly vanished into thin air.
...
On the hillside, Mike the Old Duck was sitting at a high point, chewing on a blade of grass, directing his subordinates to "search the mountains" with an expression full of impatience.
Clearly, Mike the Old Duck had strong objections to Fei Tian De's orders.
"Pah!" Seeing that his subordinates had searched from the hillside to the foot of the mountain without finding a single trace of anyone, Mike spat out the grass in his mouth and said grumpily, "Is the boss out of his mind? It's just a dozen people; does it really require such a big fuss? Searching the mountains, what a joke! Those guys are probably hiding somewhere!"
"Exactly!" A Warrior named Ban Ya Da Shu beside Mike, holding a large shield, echoed, "If it were up to me, we should just gather together and wait for the map to shrink. Those bastards can't hide forever; sooner or later, they'll have to face us."
"That's not possible." Mike the Old Duck sighed in frustration, "You know how the boss is; do you think he would wait for others to come find us with this many people?"
"True…" Ban Ya Da Shu sighed silently in response.
There was no way around it; authority could crush people. Chun Jiang Shui Nuan was a studio-type guild, and Fei Tian De, as the guild leader, was essentially the boss. Not listening to the boss would mean jeopardizing one's own livelihood; there was no room for dissent.
"Hey? It seems like someone is coming over there."
Just as the two were feeling down, Mike the Old Duck looked up and saw a figure boldly crossing the search line and running up the hillside at high speed.
The person was tall and dressed like a Pugilist—it was Wang Yu, sent by Fearless as bait.
Wang Yu was quite aware of his role as bait; he didn't hide at all and confidently charged up the mountain. However, what Wang Yu didn't expect was that the players of Chun Jiang Shui Nuan completely ignored him.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Chun Jiang Shui Nuan had nearly a thousand members; while they weren't complete strangers, most of them only recognized each other's faces and knew their names. They weren't particularly familiar, so seeing a slightly unfamiliar face wasn't unusual.
If Wang Yu had been sneaky about going up the mountain, the players of Chun Jiang Shui Nuan would definitely have stopped him to interrogate him, but since Wang Yu walked boldly into the crowd, they mistakenly took him for one of their own.
Even Mike the Old Duck on the hillside thought Wang Yu was a player from his own guild, assuming he was rushing up the mountain to discuss something directly with him, the team leader.
So, Mike quickly stood up and waved at Wang Yu, "Over here, I'm over here!"
In truth, Wang Yu didn't know who to look for. No one paid him any attention, and he was still puzzled when he saw someone actively standing up to let him through. Wang Yu didn't hesitate and rushed towards Mike's position.
Wang Yu was incredibly fast; in an instant, he was just a short distance away from Mike the Old Duck.
"Hey? Who are you?"
As Wang Yu got closer, Mike the Old Duck suddenly felt something was off when he saw Wang Yu's class.
Monks were generally looked down upon in <<Rebirth>> as a lower-tier class, and Chun Jiang Shui Nuan, being a commercial guild, would be very cautious in recruiting members. Therefore, there were only a few Pugilists in the guild, and Mike knew them all; he had never seen such a large and robust Pugilist before.
In the moment of distraction, Wang Yu was already less than ten meters away from Mike and Ban Ya Da Shu. At this distance, Wang Yu's appearance and attire were quite clear.
Mike the Old Duck frowned and glanced down at Wang Yu's chest, where he saw a dazzling yin-yang symbol hanging where the guild emblem should be.
"!!!"
Seeing that yin-yang symbol, Mike the Old Duck felt his head buzz with shock and pointed at Wang Yu in terror, "You're from the Quan Zhen Sect!!"
"Yeah!"
Just as Mike finished speaking, Wang Yu had already dashed in front of him. As he uttered the word "yes", Wang Yu stepped forward and forcefully thrust his right shoulder forward, concluding with an "ah" as his shoulder heavily impacted Mike's chest.
Iron Mountain Back!!
A level thirty skill of the Pugilist class, its damage wasn't particularly high, but it had a very strong knockback effect.
"Bang!"
Mike the Old Duck felt a tremendous force hit his chest, and he was directly knocked back by Wang Yu's shoulder.
Mike's class was a mage, and his health wasn't particularly thick. Although Wang Yu's move primarily aimed to control, Mike's health bar dropped to zero.
Before Mike could even hit the ground, Wang Yu leaped after him, landing a foot squarely on Mike's chest. Mike didn't even have time to grunt before Wang Yu's foot turned him into a puff of white light.
...
Seeing this scene, Ban Ya Da Shu's eyes widened.
Ban Ya Da Shu never imagined that this guy who had run over without any obstruction was actually the target they had been desperately searching for from the Quan Zhen Sect. Before Ban Ya Da Shu even realized what was happening, Mike the Old Duck was already sent flying by Wang Yu's Iron Mountain Back.
By the time Ban Ya Da Shu figured out what was going on, Mike had already been killed by Wang Yu with a single step.
"I want your life!"
Ban Ya Da Shu, a Guardian dedicated to protecting allies, felt immense shame watching his companion being stomped to death. In his fury, he raised his shield and charged at Wang Yu's back.
Wang Yu remained calm, standing firm with his legs planted and his palms outstretched.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, flames erupted around Wang Yu's right arm.
Then, Wang Yu twisted his waist, bringing his right palm down with a knife hand, instantly transforming the flames on his arm into a long blade that struck Ban Ya Da Shu's shield with tremendous force.
