Chapter 149 Wiping Out the Small Ripples With Passion

The warriors, without the support of priests, quickly gained their footing and began a fierce, back-and-forth battle with Zhan Wushang. Zhan Wushang, with his back against a large tree and surrounded by five opponents, was surprisingly holding his own.

This showed how wise Zhan Wushang’s decision to invest most of the proceeds from the meet-and-greet into clothing had been. Warriors lacked the stealthy skills of thieves and the seamless combos of Fighters. Therefore, they usually had to engage in head-to-head, hard-on-hard fights. It was almost impossible to completely avoid damage. Killing a thousand enemies while injuring oneself by eight hundred was the most realistic portrayal of a warrior's PK, especially in duels between warriors.

In one-on-one situations, attacking while defending and quickly defeating the opponent was a good strategy. But when facing multiple enemies, excellent defense was the key to staying on the battlefield longer, defeating more enemies, and reducing the burden on the priests.

Zhan Wushang’s equipment was geared towards this approach. He was able to hold his own against five opponents for a while without appearing to be in dire straits. Swords and blades clashed under the tree, creating a blood-pumping spectacle.

Against the Current completely ignored the situation here, seizing the time to organize the mages and archers, the two major ranged classes, to bombard the top of the tree. Even some priests who had nothing to do were assigned to use Holy Light Orbs. Although the Holy Light Orbs did negligible damage, their light was quite dazzling, making them more effective than Fireball spells for illuminating the dark forest.

The people in the tree held their breaths, fearing that they might reveal themselves and get shot by those below. Yu Tian Shen Ming, who had taken an arrow to the butt, gritted his teeth and endured without moving, but he fiercely remembered the archer who had shot him.

Against the Current and the others weren't shooting blindly. Gu Fei’s previous spells allowed Against the Current to roughly estimate his location. Han Jia Gongzi had revealed himself even more obviously by repeatedly casting healing spells. At this moment, Against the Current whispered and pointed with two priests, and soon, Against the Current began to wave his hand, directing everyone to throw their arrows and fireballs in the direction he indicated.

Gu Fei knew that Han Jia Gongzi definitely wouldn't be able to hide any longer when he saw the opponent's approach. Although this wave of attacks hadn't reached his hiding place yet, Against the Current's strategy of searching the map would eventually knock Han Jia Gongzi out of the tree.

Gu Fei was actually not far from Han Jia Gongzi, and he was also on the trajectory of Against the Current's map bombardment, but he was different; he had Instant Shift! Seeing that the opponent's attack was about to sweep over here, the cooldown for Instant Shift had ended. Gu Fei silently chanted and immediately flew to another safe location. Looking back, he saw that wave after wave of the opponent's attacks were about to reach Han Jia Gongzi's location.

Without Instant Shift, such an extremely fast means of movement, trying to climb and dodge in the tree would definitely be discovered by the people below. So, simply put, Han Jia Gongzi could only wait to be bombarded to death, with no way to resist.

But this guy was very calm, not panicking at all, and even took out a small wine bottle and drank from it. Seeing that the attack was about to arrive, he flung the wine bottle down.

The wine bottle landed in the middle of the fierce battle, where Zhan Wushang and several warriors were exchanging blows, smashing each other's heads and bleeding.

Han Jia Gongzi’s sudden wine bottle went unnoticed. With a "bang," it landed on a warrior's shoulder and shattered.

"Ah!! That guy is here again!" The warriors scattered in panic as if their butts were on fire, quickly leaving Zhan Wushang alone, all staring blankly upwards.

Against the Current, as the guild leader, felt a little embarrassed and scolded the others, "How many times have I told you, stay calm when something happens! Did you see what it was? Why are you so panicked!"

Actually, they couldn't be blamed. Gu Fei was too powerful and abnormal, and everyone’s nerves were a little oversensitive.

Against the Current, who had been looking up at the sky, saw clearly that it was a wine bottle and also saw the direction it came from. He was already directing everyone to attack in that direction when he saw Han Jia Gongzi suddenly pull aside a piece of dense foliage, stick his head out, smile, and jump fiercely into the crowd.

"Magic attacks, follow up!" Gu Fei had already received this message.

But the problem was that Against the Current had already seen through this tactic, and he quickly stopped a few guys who wanted to rush up and surround him: "Don't go up! Archers, mages, get ready!"

Han Jia Gongzi landed with a thud, squatting down and wincing in pain. Falling straight down from eight meters in the air would cause damage. The archers and mages had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they saw him land, they immediately launched an attack together. But Han Jia Gongzi had calculated this step as well. While in the tree, he had observed the positions of everyone below. This active jump of his had been carefully chosen.

As soon as he landed, he rolled to the side without thinking, disappearing behind a large tree. This position was a blind spot for all the mages and archers, including Against the Current. Ranged classes had this major flaw.

All the straight-line attacks missed, but the attacks that used Homing Arrows and Fireball spells effectively chased after the target. Unfortunately, this was useless as well. Don't forget, Han Jia Gongzi was a priest, and a legendary priest who had reached the golden ratio. He easily preserved his life by seizing the time difference between these attacks.

"Quick!" Against the Current waved his hand, signaling everyone to change positions and find a position from which to attack.

Originally, they thought that hiding behind the tree like this, they could see Han Jia Gongzi by moving a few steps, but after moving, the line of sight was not blocked by the tree he was hiding behind, but by other obstacles. Han Jia Gongzi's choice of position was definitely not ordinary.

Of course, things were not so perfect. Finally, an archer found a good position, saw Han Jia Gongzi's figure leaning against the tree, and excitedly nocked an arrow. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his waist. Greatly shocked, he turned his head and only saw Sword Demon's ever-serious expression, meticulously finishing him off.

"There's another one here!" Someone discovered Sword Demon's existence and quickly launched an attack in this direction. But Sword Demon's skills were different from Han Jia Gongzi's. He moved very nimbly through the forest. The ranged class attacks always required a straight-line gap, so they couldn't do anything about Sword Demon for a while.

"124, 253; 120, 251; 117, 146..." Coordinates were constantly flashing in Sword Demon's private chat, which was Han Jia Gongzi giving him directions. With Han Jia Gongzi, who had completely mastered the terrain here and was familiar with the coordinates, directing him, Sword Demon elegantly moved through the forest, already touching the archers or mages from behind for the third time. Including the previous one, he had solved a total of four people.

Against the Current felt terrified and quickly gathered everyone not to scatter, but to concentrate first.

As a result, this panicked command was another judgment that caused him to lose sight of the other. Sword Demon's ghost-like actions disrupted Against the Current's thinking. Concentrate? This would make him face an even more terrifying enemy.

The archers and mages had just united with Against the Current as the center when they suddenly felt their feet getting hot. Those who reacted quickly were already shouting that something was wrong. Everyone cried and wailed as they scattered to run, but it was too late. Fiery Tree Thousand Flame rose from the ground with scorching heat. These fragile guys couldn't withstand this attack. Only some mages with higher magic defense survived, but before they could rejoice, a turn of firelight appeared in the sky above their heads, and a fire wheel descended overwhelmingly. The Water Flower Mercenary Group's mage and archer formation was torn apart by Gu Fei’s spell, which attacked from both above and below.

The situation was chaotic, and even Against the Current had some difficulty controlling it. Han Jia Gongzi, hiding behind the tree, even showed his head and replenished some health for Zhan Wushang over there.

Zhan Wushang, who had been enduring and persevering desperately, suddenly perked up, not because of Han Jia Gongzi's healing, but because the cooldown for Whirlwind Slash, which he had used before, had finally ended. Such a powerful skill as Whirlwind Slash had a long cooldown time.

Han Jia Gongzi's healing made him even more confident. Ignoring the five people's attacks, he squeezed forward two steps with all his might, and the two swords were already engaged in Whirlwind Slash.

Zhan Wushang’s defense was high, but his attack was definitely not low either. The five people regretted it greatly after being frantically killed by him. The five warriors thought that they could easily take down Zhan Wushang with five against one, but they didn't expect to drag it out to this point. If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have all five of them attacked together. Two or three of them would have launched Whirlwind Slash together and killed Zhan Wushang long ago.

The only blame was that the Whirlwind Slash skill had a long cooldown, so warriors generally liked to use it at critical moments. Five against one? They couldn't be blamed for being frugal in this situation. As a result, Zhan Wushang reversed the situation.

Zhan Wushang had been beaten for half a day, and his rage value had accumulated to a great extent. The two swords spun endlessly. The five warriors were in the center of the whirlpool, unable to resist, and one by one, they turned into white light in a short while.

At this time, Yu Tian Shen Ming in the tree wasn't idle either. You Ge, not far from him, gave him a Strength Blessing, and this guy started to find targets and shoot arrows like crazy.

The bottom of the tree was in chaos. On one side, they were afraid of Sword Demon's elusive appearance, and on the other side, they were afraid of Gu Fei's devastating aerial magic attacks. Yu Tian Shen Ming’s cold arrows were not the focus of everyone's attention for a while.

"Steady, don't panic!" Against the Current anxiously waved his staff and shouted loudly. After the chaos just now, the Water Flower Mercenary Group had lost another 25 people, leaving only 30 people at this time. What was even worse was that priests and knights accounted for more than half of these thirty people. There were very few classes that actually had combat power left.

Gu Fei’s magic had erupted for a moment and then went on cooldown. Sword Demon had hidden in some corner after his sneak attack. Zhan Wushang had solved the five warriors around him, and the formation facing him had become priests. Although there were many people, they were scared back by him alone. The forest was silent, except for Yu Tian Shen Ming, who hadn't been idle. He finally discovered the guy who shot him in the butt.

"Little brat!" Yu Tian Shen Ming gritted his teeth. The Snipe Shot that he had been reluctant to use was prepared for this moment.

The sound of an arrow rang out...

29. The Water Flower Mercenary Group only had 29 people left.
