Chapter 41 As Expected

At this moment, the dozen or so members of the mercenary团 whose entire force had been wiped out in Sunset City had regrouped. Their expressions were somber as they looked at their團 leader.

"We can't just die for nothing!" This person was indeed a character who wouldn't give up until the Yellow River swallowed him. "They are strong, but at most there are only six of them, I'll make them regret this!"

"Let's call the guild!" After a moment of silence, someone suggested.

"Yeah!" The團 leader nodded. "How are they fighting up there?"

"They're still in a stalemate, and it doesn't seem like they've found anything for the time being," one person replied.

"Of course, that's how it is. Those guys must be fighting to stall for time. Humph, let them play their tricks, hurry up and call people, call people we can trust!" The團 leader spoke.

So the brothers busied themselves, calling their close friends in the guild. Most online game players value loyalty. When they hear a friend is in trouble, many will come to help without hesitation, even helping without asking the details. At this moment, with a call to arms, many brothers came immediately, roughly estimated to be more than 50 people.

"What's the matter? Aren't you doing a mercenary mission?" One of the players who came asked.

"Yeah, it's a mission. The opponent is a bit strong, so we had to ask everyone to help. We won't forget everyone's kindness later."

"Why are you talking? Let's go!"

A team quickly assembled and set off valiantly. Having just suffered a painful lesson, the團 leader was confident this time. No matter how strong the opponent was, they couldn't possibly fight ten at once, could they? He absolutely didn't believe in that.

Leaving the city, the group quickly descended into the river valley, hurrying forward to give Han Jia公子 and the others a head-on blow; while in the other direction of the river valley, Jian Nan You and his seven were also speeding up, not wanting to miss the chance to pick up any cheap advantages.

Then, after chasing for a while, the fork in the river valley suddenly appeared before the seven people. The seven were immediately stunned, not knowing which direction to go.

"Why is there a fork in the road here..." Jiao Shui muttered to himself. This should be considered his negligence. As a sharpshooter with eagle eyes, he had always been responsible for reconnaissance in various teams. Now they were chasing, but he hadn't observed beforehand that the river valley had a fork in the road.

"It's not your fault," Jian Nan You comforted him. "This place should already be beyond the range of your eagle eyes."

"Which way do these two sides lead? Which way did they go?"

"Everyone, see if there are any footprints on the ground!" Jian Nan You called out.

Everyone immediately split up and searched for traces on the two paths. Before long, the tall rogue who was searching on the left fork had made a discovery and hurriedly called everyone in the channel. Everyone ran over and sure enough saw a clear footprint.

"Is there any discovery on the other side?" Jian Nan You was still a little uneasy and asked the three people searching on the right fork.

"No," the three replied.

"The right side leads to Sunset City, but they went to the left?" Jian Nan You frowned.

"How do you know? Have you been here?" The partners were surprised, but as far as they knew, Jian Nan You had never set foot in Sunset City.

"No, I just asked a friend in Sunset City," Jian Nan You replied.

"Where does the left side lead?" One person asked.

"A dead end," Jian Nan You replied.

"Could it be that they didn't know which way to go, so they went the wrong way?" One person guessed.

"No," Jian Nan You shook his head. "The right side leads to Sunset City, so if the people from Sunset City come to block them again, they will definitely come from that road. They deliberately went to the left to avoid this blockade."

"But going this way will take them further and further away from the city," one person said. "Isn't the risk too great?"

"No, the terrain here is like this!" Jian Nan You squatted down and drew an inverted "A" on the ground, looking up at everyone: "Understand?"

"There's another road ahead that connects the left and right sides. They go to the left first, calculate the time, and wait for the enemy to pass from the right, then cross back to the right behind the enemy, and then swagger into the city." The mage Huo Ran Yi had already understood.

Jian Nan You nodded: "The other party is quite familiar with the terrain here."

"What should we do?"

"Go to the right," Jian Nan You said.

"Go to the right?" One person didn't understand.

"Then we will run into the people from Sunset City, and we can naturally tell them: We didn't see anyone on the right side," Jian Nan You smiled.

"Then they will of course think of this fork in the road, and everyone will chase to the left."

"Then we'll follow behind and continue to wait to pick up the cheap advantage."

"We can even cooperate with them, just say we have a grudge against that video mage and ask them to leave that guy to us!"

"Hahaha!" The few people said one after another, helping Jian Nan You complete the plan, and then confidently stepped onto the right road.

Everything was as Jian Nan You expected. The seven people went forward, and on the way, they saw the river that crossed the left and right forks. A few steps further forward, they had already seen a team of people in the distance approaching aggressively.

"Hehe, it seems they suffered a big loss just now, and now they've brought a lot of people!" Jian Nan You sighed.

"With such momentum, don't wipe out those guys in an instant, we'll be busy for nothing," Huo Ran Yi said.

"Yeah, it seems we have to talk to them, stand on the same position, and let them leave the video mage to us!" The seven people discussed while continuing to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

The other party's footsteps were very hurried. Seeing them getting closer and closer, Jian Nan You was planning how to open his mouth when suddenly several whistling sounds rose, and several sharp arrows had already shot towards them.

Jian Nan You was shocked and quickly held the shield in front of him to block. With several clanging sounds, Huo Ran Yi's face next to Jian Nan You turned pale. The target of the arrow was actually him, but fortunately, Jian Nan You was by his side, experienced and quick to react, and raised his shield to cover the two. Otherwise, being hit by these two sniper arrows would have had serious consequences.

Huo Ran Yi's life was saved, but on the other side, one person let out a cry and disappeared directly. At this time, the distance was still far, and the profession was unclear. The other party probably randomly selected two people and launched a concentrated attack. Huo Ran Yi was saved by Jian Nan You, but the other person suffered all the arrow attacks. Although there was a priest nearby, he was completely unprepared for the situation, and it was too late to wave his staff to save him. The knight in the seven was the first to die.

"Heal!" Jian Nan You shouted loudly. Although the shield can greatly improve defense, it is not a complete defense. Being shot by five sniper attacks and still being able to stand, Jian Nan You is indeed a strong person. At this time, his life loss was also very large, and he quickly asked the priest for support.

The professional configuration of their seven people was no fighter, but there were two priests. The two healed together, and life was quickly saved. At the same time, the rogue in their team quickly went into stealth. The remaining four people stood in a line behind Jian Nan You, with Jian Nan You holding the shield at the front, and the priest continuing to heal non-stop. The opponent's second wave of shots had indeed arrived, but of course, this time it was impossible to be the most powerful sniper. Jian Nan You shielded himself, and the priest behind him healed, and he stubbornly withstood this wave.

"What's going on?" The few people were a little panicked. The other party launched an attack on them for no reason, which was too unexpected.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Jian Nan You shouted to the guys behind him. The sniper's cooldown time is 45 seconds. After the cooldown, if the other party launches a sniper attack together again, Jian Nan You doesn't know if he can withstand it.

The six people retreated in a line with great tacit understanding, but no matter how anxious they were, how could the speed be fast in this situation? The opponent's archers were striding forward, one by one like gunslingers, rushing forward while shooting fiercely. Jian Nan You's shield was ringing non-stop.

However, this kind of cover was only temporary. The opponent's archers ran a little to the left and right, how could Jian Nan You completely cover the four people behind him?

The last of the four was the archer Jiao Shui, who was the first to be exposed to the enemy's muzzle. Of course, he wouldn't just sit and wait for death. He gritted his teeth and flashed out, running in an S-shaped route.

"I'm going to fight you!" Jiao Shui shouted, dodging the incoming arrows while also bending his bow to fight back. He came up with a sniper shot, causing one of the opponent's archers to stagger, obviously Jiao Shui's attack was also very good. Then came a double shot, but the opponent also had a large number of priests in the formation, and when they saw that someone on their side was injured, they immediately went up to rescue him. Jiao Shui's attack was already considered continuous enough, but he still failed to kill the person.

The opponent's archers had already turned their arrows together and released tracking arrows at Jiao Shui.

"Damn it!" Jiao Shui cursed, and continued to fight back tenaciously. More than ten skills of white light arrows accurately nailed to his body, turning into a larger white light to wrap him, looking extremely tragic.

The archers turned their direction and prepared to continue shooting in Jian Nan You's direction, and the mages in their formation had also entered the range and were preparing to release range spells. Suddenly a flash of red light on the ground, a flame that shot into the sky seemed to spew out of the ground, cutting off the entire river valley horizontally.

Jian Nan You and the others recognized this as Huo Ran Yi's fire magic "Beacon Fire City", but the other party had never seen this spell before, and they didn't dare to go forward for a while.

"Run!" Huo Ran Yi took this opportunity to call everyone. The activation of his spell was slow, but fortunately Jiao Shui's sacrifice bought him some time, and he steadily used this spell.

A few people turned around and ran, but the opponent's archers, mages, etc. were not idle, and launched attacks across the flames. Jian Nan You quickly waved his shield to cover everyone, but in a panic, he couldn't take care of everything, and a priest died under the indiscriminate bombing.

"Turn to that fork!" Ahead was the river that crossed the left and right sides, Jian Nan You hurriedly shouted, Huo Ran Yi turned his head and rushed in first, Jian Nan You and another priest followed closely behind.

"Where's Hei Shui?" Huo Ran Yi shouted, Hei Shui was the name of the tall rogue.

"He has stealth, he should be able to escape," Jian Nan You answered him, and the three's footsteps were not stopping at this time.

"What the hell is going on? These guys must have mistaken us for someone else?" Huo Ran Yi shouted.

"Mistaken us for someone else?" Jian Nan You instantly felt a chill in his heart.
