Hu Die Lan
Chapter 208 Summoner
At this time, Ye Xiu was completely different in Meguang's eyes, so Meguang naturally believed what he said. Looking back, his original five summoned creatures now had only two left. The three little sprites had automatically disappeared because of the time limit.
The summoner's control of summoned creatures is also quite complicated, with a bit of the feel of a real-time strategy game. But from the first-person perspective of Glory, this real-time strategy is not so convenient to operate.
Fortunately, the summoner has several operating skills. The level 10 Follow allows summoned creatures to follow behind oneself, and the level 15 Mark throws out a mark, allowing the summoned creatures to go to the designated location. These two skills consume very little mana. The summoner uses these two skills to dispatch the summoned creatures. The Mark skill can be thrown on locations, or on players or monsters. When thrown on players or monsters, the summoned creatures will go over and attack.
The higher the level of these two skills, the farther the player can control the summoned creatures.
The subsequent level 20 skill, Lash, is used to whip the summoned creatures, making them more diligent. Both movement speed and attack speed will increase. The higher the level of the Lash skill, the higher the speed bonus after whipping.
In addition, there is the level 20 class change skill: Summoned Creature Enhancement. As the name suggests, it is an enhancement of the attack and defense attributes of all summoned creatures. Similarly, the higher the level, the stronger the enhancement.
The level 25 and 30 skills are Thunder Sprite Summon and Fire Sprite Summon, respectively. The little sprites are not very different in attack power. The only difference is that the Thunder Sprite's attack has a chance to cause the target to become stiff, while the Fire Sprite's attack has a chance to cause the target to burn.
The other two, Ice Sprite and Dark Sprite, also have their own special effects with roughly the same attack power. Currently, level 30 summoners cannot learn these two summons yet, and they will not be able to learn them until level 35.
Meguang followed Ye Xiu's advice and focused on manipulating only two summoned creatures. Looking left and right, he didn't know who to cooperate with. Lord Grim was so powerful that he didn't need his help at all, and he didn't know anyone else. Meguang looked around and finally found Steamed Bun Invasion, and a goblin and a Thunder Sprite rushed towards the opponent that Steamed Bun Invasion was entangled with.
With a flick of his hand, Meguang wanted to throw a Mark on Steamed Bun Invasion's opponent. Who knew that the two people who were fighting suddenly switched positions, and the Mark was stuck on Steamed Bun Invasion's back.
Steamed Bun Invasion was now a seasoned veteran in the arena, and had experienced the skills of all professions. He immediately knew that he had been Marked by a summoner. As a result, when he looked back, he saw Meguang's two summoned creatures rushing over, making him furious: “What the hell are you doing? Are you still taking revenge for being petty?!”
Just now, Steamed Bun Invasion smashed Meguang with a brick to make him listen to Ye Xiu, and now he was Marked by Meguang, so he immediately thought that this guy was retaliating for the brick just now.
“Make way! Make way!!” Meguang shouted. The cooldown time for the summoner's skill to command summoned creatures was naturally extremely short. He now had a Mark in his hand and was preparing to do it again, but Steamed Bun Invasion was blocking right in front of him.
“You two, team up.” Ye Xiu hurriedly threw a team invitation to the two of them. It turned out that these two hadn't even teamed up and could still attack each other!
After the two joined the team, Meguang's Mark would no longer be an attack when thrown on Steamed Bun Invasion, but would follow Steamed Bun Invasion. This was one of the methods for summoners to command summoned creatures to move.
“Here’s one for you to play with!” Steamed Bun Invasion shouted, and he moved behind his opponent, landing a knee strike that looked like he had kicked the person in the butt. The player staggered towards Meguang.
“Damn!” Meguang shouted. Even Ye Xiu couldn't predict Steamed Bun Invasion's various actions, let alone him? The opponent pounced over with flailing arms, and Meguang instantly came up with several plans. By the time he had decided on one, the opponent was already in front of him. This person was a Striker, and he kicked Meguang into the sky with a "High Kick".
“Idiot!” Steamed Bun Invasion cursed as he rushed over to support him.
“I’ll handle this one, watch that Steamed Bun.” Ye Xiu shouted, and another Spellblade was trying to slip away in the direction of Steamed Bun Invasion. Ye Xiu had expected that he and Meguang would have problems, otherwise why would he have come here specifically to support them?
Steamed Bun Invasion turned around and saw that the Spellblade was indeed preparing to run away. He immediately shouted and threw the brick he was preparing to rescue Meguang at the Spellblade.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim used a Shadow Clone Technique to flash over, and the Striker was already beaten to the ground in a few blows. Meguang fell, and it was obviously too difficult for him to perform an ukemi (recovery roll). His character ended up lying there directly.
Elsewhere, Huang Shaotian and Tang Rou both successfully knocked the opponents around them into the circle. Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan were limited by the attack methods of their characters, and their knockback attacks were not as powerful as Swordmasters and Battle Mages, so their efficiency was a little lower. But in any case, both of them were at a professional level, much stronger than Tang Rou. Although it took a lot of effort, they eventually cleared all the opponents around them into the circle. Of the guild's 18 players, 15 are now in the circle, and there are 2 left, who are all on Steamed Bun Invasion's side.
Lord Grim knocked down the Striker and flipped his hand to launch another knockback attack, sending him over as well. Steamed Bun Invasion's Brawler was not a profession that was good at this kind of attack. He entangled with the Spellblade for a while, but Steamed Bun Invasion was still better, and he finally sent him in as well. At this point, the many were surrounded by the few.
Having been beaten to this point, the players of Lonely Drink and the others were well aware of the gap in strength. They clearly wanted to retreat, but none of them escaped. They really couldn't care about emotions at this moment. Lonely Drink jumped out without hesitation to take on the role of commander.
“Six o’clock direction, everyone charge!!”
Lonely Drink had a good eye and saw at a glance that Steamed Bun Invasion's direction was a weak link. It was just that he didn't have the hand speed of a professional player, and he couldn't spare a hand to type and send this message during the battle. He could only shout it out.
“Where do you think you’re going to run? Six o’clock direction, you’ve already said six o’clock direction, how can you run? Brother, you need to practice your hand speed! In this kind of situation, you should send a message without anyone noticing, so that we can be caught off guard! Oh dear, have you already done that? You’re pretending to charge at six o’clock, but secretly sending messages in other directions? Oh dear, oh dear, everyone needs to be careful!” Huang Shaotian kept chattering on and on after receiving someone's command. There was both mockery and reminders to his own people.
The eighteen good men from the big guild who were trapped in the middle really didn't have time to worry about their respective factions at this time. Hearing Lonely Drink's shout, they all charged towards the six o'clock direction.
“Oh dear, oh dear! They’re really all coming over!!” Steamed Bun Invasion, the general guarding the six o’clock direction, suddenly felt a lot of pressure: “Hey, you, you! Hurry up and release all your summoned creatures to form a wall!”
Meguang frantically summoned all five of his summoned creatures, but with so many, he couldn't control them all. The five summoned creatures weren't standing in a line at all, and were crooked like a row of fallen fences.
“What are you doing! Herding sheep?” Steamed Bun Invasion said.
“Mark me!” Ye Xiu's Lord Grim rushed over and shouted. Meguang hurriedly stopped arranging the summoned creatures and threw a Mark towards Lord Grim.
Lord Grim raised the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hand, and a hexagram summoning array immediately began to condense in front of him. Obviously, it was a summoning skill for otherworldly creatures. But for a Scatter who only had skills below level 20, the only summoned creature he could summon was a Goblin.
The light of the hexagram summoning array rose and faded. The pattern disappeared, and a green-skinned Goblin was already standing in front of Lord Grim. Meguang's Mark just happened to fly over and hit the Goblin's head.
Meguang's five sheep-like summoned creatures immediately surrounded Lord Grim's Goblin. Then, Lord Grim waved his hand and used a "Follow" skill. His Goblin followed him, and Meguang's summoned creatures followed his Goblin. After just a few simple movements, the six summoned creatures actually lined up neatly in a line.
Meguang was dumbfounded. With his eyesight, he couldn't see how many micro-operations were hidden in Lord Grim's leading movements, but Huang Shaotian and the other professional players knew it very well. This seemingly simple line-up, arranged in this way, revealed a lot of skill.
Then, Lord Grim also threw out a Mark, and the Goblin went over on its own. Still leading Meguang's five summoned creatures, the wall of people actually blocked the eighteen good men from the big guild.
However, it was impossible to block the impact of eighteen players with just these six small summoned creatures. But this move did buy a lot of time. Everyone changed their direction of attack and attacked the eighteen people together. At this time, it was no longer just about limiting and controlling, but about decisively starting to kill.
Tang Rou came the fastest and fiercest. A normal horizontal sweep attack with her battle lance made several people jump away. Then, a viper-like series of charges directly stabbed the opponent until they bled. A Sky Strike followed by a Falling Flower Palm sent the opponent flying and crashing into several people, and the eighteen players suddenly had a large opening torn into them.
“Oh dear, this girl is so fierce! Awesome, awesome! That Ghostblade, turn on... ah, he’s already turned it on? Oh, not bad! Very insightful, promising, promising.” Huang Shaotian continued to chatter while his sword flashed. Everyone knew that this person was powerful. A total of three people came up to block him, but they were still killed and forced to retreat. The text bubbles that kept popping up above their heads made everyone want to vomit.
Qiao Yifan had a strong sense of the overall situation and had noticed this Swordmaster a long time ago. He talked a lot and was sharp, so he had long thought of one person. Then, he secretly searched for the name "Flowing Tree" and found that this Swordmaster was only level 27...
“This, this, this… is it Huang Shao…” Qiao Yifan felt like he could hear his own heartbeat. This was too awesome. He was actually fighting alongside two super-gods?
