Chapter 1886 1886: The Chase in the Jungle

The battlefield has been chosen, and two beams of light descended, transporting one player from each team into the Dark Forest.

On the Holy Hall team, the player entering the arena is named Slaughter, a Warrior who is a well-known expert. Although he is a fairly standard Warrior, he performed exceptionally well in yesterday's match.

On the other hand, the opponent from the Crowd of Misfits team is Ling Longmeng, a female player.

To be fair, Ling Longmeng's abilities are somewhat inferior compared to the members of the Quan Zhen Sect. Her raw strength is even less than that of Frost Blade, who has been a liability. However, her control skills give her slightly more value in the team compared to Frost Blade, but it's only a slight edge.

In such a top-tier competition, such a gap can be nearly negligible. Because of this, Ling Longmeng is often privately teased by the Quan Zhen Sect as one of the "Double Vegetables" alongside Frost Blade...

It must be said that this scoundrel, Ming Du, has a foul mouth; just for that, it's no wonder he often gets ganged up on by the Quan Zhen Sect—he truly deserves it, and there's no sympathy for him at all.

Due to Ling Longmeng's unique abilities, Fearless rarely arranges for her to compete. Not to mention that the audience is unaware of Ling Longmeng's strength; even in the databases of various top teams, her abilities are considered one of the three mysteries of the Crowd of Misfits team.

The other two mysteries are Wang Yu's strength and the strength of the Crowd of Misfits team manager, Mu Zi Xian.

...

"Huh?"

Seeing that a female player has taken the stage for the Crowd of Misfits team, the audience was taken aback.

After all, in the minds of the audience, female players are naturally at a disadvantage compared to male players. Having a woman appear in such a setting was indeed unexpected. However, when everyone realized Ling Longmeng's class, they quickly fell silent.

An archer... this woman is actually an archer.

There are very few female competitors in S-class professional leagues, and even fewer female archers. The last female archer to compete was a player named Qingxue from the Crowd of Misfits team, also known as Yang Nuo.

As for Yang Nuo...

Thinking of Yang Nuo's squinting eyes, the audience felt a chill run down their spines.

Damn it, this little lady has shown everyone through her actions what it means to be ruthless and merciless. Whether it's shooting arrows to blind or executing close-range attacks with arrows, this woman is astonishingly deadly whenever she strikes.

As a result, the audience gained a deep understanding of the ferocity of women, and any previous disdain for them was completely corrected.

Female players are not to be underestimated, especially the female archer from the Crowd of Misfits team.

...

Slaughter is one of the older players on the Holy Hall team, looking much like a middle-aged uncle, similar to Spring Halo. This uncle also possesses the unique steadiness of middle-aged individuals.

Seeing that his opponent is a woman, Slaughter showed no signs of emotion, as if the strength of his opponent had nothing to do with him. Instead, he focused on Ling Longmeng, professionally lifting his great sword, preparing for battle with caution and seriousness like in usual training.

In contrast, Ling Longmeng was a bit more fidgety, looking around after entering the battlefield, seemingly studying something.

Ling Longmeng's behavior did not escape Slaughter's notice. He knew that his opponent was definitely looking for an escape route.

As expected, when the match began, Ling Longmeng quickly turned around and started running backward without a word.

Slaughter smiled slightly, raised his great sword, and unleashed a slash of energy aimed at Ling Longmeng's back.

As he swung the energy slash, Slaughter bent down and charged at Ling Longmeng.

Running away to buy time is an old tactic of the Crowd of Misfits team.

Before the match, Rockabye had instructed that the second battle was not crucial for the Holy Hall team. Due to the opponent's strength, they would likely play hide and seek as usual, making it difficult to expand the score. Thus, there was no need for too much pressure in the second match.

If they could score, then score; if not, there was no need to be overly anxious.

As a top expert, the desire to score is naturally inherent. Even though Rockabye had said scoring wasn't important, Slaughter still aimed to close the score gap as much as possible.

Therefore, once he entered the match, Slaughter kept his eyes on Ling Longmeng, observing her actions. The moment Ling Longmeng turned to the right, Slaughter accurately predicted her movement and without hesitation used his energy slash to block her escape route.

"Bang!"

The energy slash struck perfectly against Ling Longmeng's back, causing her to stumble as she tried to escape.

In that moment of distraction, Slaughter had already charged up behind her, hands holding the long sword, delivering a sudden thrust at Ling Longmeng's back.

The charge followed by a thrust, topped off with an uppercut, is a Warrior's combo starter. With Ling Longmeng's low health and judgment, if she got hit, she would definitely be taken down in one combo.

Ling Longmeng's reaction wasn't particularly fast compared to an expert like Slaughter. However, his energy slash wasn't a control skill.

At the moment she was struck by the energy slash, Ling Longmeng didn't even look back. Instead, she raised her hand and shot an arrow at the tree trunk above to her right.

Just as Slaughter's thrust struck Ling Longmeng, her figure flickered and she appeared on the tree trunk.

"?"

Seeing Ling Longmeng evade his attack in such a strange way, Slaughter was momentarily taken aback, a hint of a surprised smile appearing on his face: "Interesting! But do you think you can escape?"

As he spoke, Slaughter leaped into the air, raising his giant sword and executing a Mountain Breaker.

Mountain Breaker is a ground-targeted skill. With a jump and the Mountain Breaker, Slaughter successfully completed a double jump and soared to the position where Ling Longmeng had stopped, crashing his giant sword down towards her.

Ling Longmeng remained calm, raising her crossbow and shooting an arrow at another tree, then she too appeared on that tree.

"What the hell? It can be done like this?"

The audience was left dumbfounded upon witnessing this...

Well, the Crowd of Misfits team truly opened everyone's eyes; they may not have much genuine skill, but their escape skills are definitely professional.

Seeing his opponent evade his attack again, Slaughter frowned, promptly canceling his skill. He grasped his great sword with both hands, verticalizing the blade, and swung it at the tree trunk while pushing off it with his feet.

"Duang!"

Slaughter's sword struck the tree trunk, and with the force of his feet, he followed Ling Longmeng closely like a cannonball.

"This guy is quite impressive."

Watching this scene, the members of the Crowd of Misfits team revealed expressions of surprise.

Ling Longmeng's ability to teleport through the forest is entirely due to the uniqueness of her class, while Slaughter, navigating through the jungle, relied on his own skills.

Moreover, he was closely tailing Ling Longmeng... such a maneuver was something everyone dared not even imagine. This is the level of a top expert; the depth of his understanding of the game is far beyond that of ordinary players.
