Chapter 369 - Trapped (1/2)

As soon as they saw Steamed Bun Invasion, the group of players swimming for their lives towards the sh.o.r.e immediately turned cold. It wasn’t that Steamed Bun Invasion himself was scary, but rather that he had come at a crucial moment, indicating that their opponent had made preparations long beforehand. First, he had lured them into the water and then used the fact that these players weren’t experienced in water battles to teach them a good lesson.

They had finally struggled back to sh.o.r.e, when their opponents appeared onsh.o.r.e to set up an ambush. There weren’t many of them, though; only three. However, the problem was that they had enemies both on land and in the water. Everyone couldn’t help but think of the phrase: to beat a drowning dog.

“CHARGE!!!” Even though there was an unforeseen obstacle in front of them, if they stayed in the water, they would only be killed off by Lord Grim. At this moment, who knew how many of them yelled this out at the same time. The several players, who had already reached the sh.o.r.e, jumped ferociously in order to directly exit the water.

While in the air, they suddenly heard three gunshots, which had come from the nearby grove . Obscured by the trees, the flash from an explosion could be seen and three artillery sh.e.l.ls were sent flying over. Still in the air, they had nowhere to run to. They could only brandish their weapons and pray that they could chop down the artillery sh.e.l.ls.

In theory, this was possible, but apart from the pros, very few could actually accomplish it. Right now, they were controlling their movements in the air, but they also wanted to hit a high speed artillery sh.e.l.l. These players simply didn’t have the skill to do that.

The three artillery sh.e.l.ls connected with the several players that had shot out of the water, instantly exploding. The shockwaves from the blast sent the players flying. Several splashes could be heard. Of the five players who had jumped out, four had been sent directly back into the water.

The fifth person jumped over the explosion. Just as he was feeling proud of himself, he hadn’t yet landed when a Brick hit him from the side. Following Steamed Bun Invasion, Soft Mist rushed forward and thrust forward with a Double Stab. A streak of blood flew through the air and this brother was also sent back into the water with a “Splas.h.!.+” The difference, though, was that after entering the water, a cloud of red could be seen floating on top of the water. Blood was pouring out. Tang Rou’s Double Stab had hit in the same place twice, causing a Bleed status.

Steamed Bun Invasion. Soft Mist. These two were the brave generals in Lord Grim’s dungeon team. No one dared to look down on them.

Who was that person shooting from the grove? They hadn’t seen him clearly. However, Misty Castle’s players were even more quiet than any other guild. This was because this person made them think of the player who had recently left their guild, Horse Shooter.

There was still one more standing on the sh.o.r.eside. No one recognized him, but in their eyes, the threat from this person was even greater than the other three. That was because this person was a Summoner. He had already summoned a mob of creatures and had arranged them in a line along the sh.o.r.e, blocking their path from the sh.o.r.e.

Were they not confident in beating the Summoner? These experts wouldn’t go that far, but the main point was that it would waste time! With the summoned creatures in the way, Steamed Bun Invasion and Soft Mist would have time to arrive and throw them back into the water, no?

Another name from their team list faded away. Another had unexpectedly died in the water. The attentive ones immediately discovered that this player was one of the players that had been tossed back into the water. Lord Grim and Cleansing Mist had caught him and he died very quickly.

Behind them were pursuers, and in front of them was a blockade. These guild leaders had experienced many battles before. It wasn’t as if they had never seen this scene before and instantly figured out what advantages would help them escape.

“Scatter!” Changing Spring shouted.

Everyone else immediately followed.

No matter the case, they had the advantage in numbers. Happy’s players were using few to surround many. Even though they had been successful, they couldn’t cover the entire field. If they split up, some might die, but the majority of them would be able to escape.

As a result, the players in the water acted instantly and began swimming either to the left or to the right.

With enemies behind them and enemies in front of them, what other direction could they run in other than left or right?

There was nothing Ye Xiu could do about them splitting up, so he could only split his forces as well. Those in the water would chase after one side, while those on sh.o.r.e would block the other side, but his opponents split up again. No one pulled along any partners with them. It was every man for themselves and their forces became even more scattered.

Tang Rou’s group didn’t go down into the water. They stayed on sh.o.r.e, chasing them. Even these experienced players from the top guilds were like noobs in the water. For players like Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion, no matter how good their mechanics were, they would need practice before they could do anything in the water. They’d be even more nooby than the guild players.

As for Concealed Light, he didn’t need to be said. The line of summoned creatures on sh.o.r.e, now that was a bluff! In fact, the palms of his hands were drenched in sweat. They had been too cautious. If they had courageously charged at the Summoner, they would have immediately known that these summoned creatures were basically the same as paper. Their controller’s skill level was too poor.

In the end, the blockades onsh.o.r.e wasn’t able to block anything. The players in the water swam along the sh.o.r.e for a bit and then went on their own way. Some turned around to keep swimming. Some continued to swim along the sh.o.r.e. Others even swam into deeper waters. Tang Rou’s group didn’t know who to chase, when Tang Rou suddenly received a message from Ye Xiu: “Chase after the ones who turned around.”

“Okay!”

Tang Rou received the message and called out to everyone to immediately go back and chase after the ones who had turned around to run. As a result, those who hadn’t turned around, waited for a chance to get back onto land.

Tang Rou looked and wanted to turn around to kill them, but Ye Xiu seemed to have guessed what was on her mind and messaged: “Ignore them, keep chasing.”

“Why?” Tang Rou was only controlling her Soft Mist to run along the sh.o.r.e, so she had the time to reply.

“Many players. Hard to fight.” Ye Xiu seemed to be busy, so he didn’t say much.

Tang Rou turned to look. There were already almost ten players that had climbed onto the sh.o.r.e. Tang Rou knew that these were all experts. One on one wouldn’t be a problem, but if there were so many of them, if they had a strategy as well, she didn’t think that she could fight them.

Understanding Ye Xiu’s intent, Tang Rou continued to chase after those who had turned back, along with Steamed Bun Invasion and Concealed Light.

But these players’ minds were quite clear. Seeing that there were players over there that had gotten onto land, they immediately turned around again, heading in the direction where others were getting out of the water, clearly to look for help.

“What do we do?” Tang Rou was at a loss. She had the mechanics, but her ability to think was very far off.
