Chapter 149 "Shameless!!"

"Shameless!!" Fang Rui immediately shouted after being caught red-handed by the trap.

Was he truly so angry that he needed to vent like this? Of course not. He already knew he absolutely couldn't escape, but he was determined not to let Happy profit so easily. The yelling was actually meant for the Misty Rain and Wind Howl guilds to hear, alerting them to Happy's presence.

"Hahaha, shout, shout all you want, no one will hear you even if you shout your throat raw," Ye Xiu said, adding a sinister smile. Fang Rui turned his perspective to look at the other side. Yeah, what was the point? They were too far away, and the sounds of the fierce battle would cover his voice; it wouldn't reach them at all.

"Kill him quickly!" Ye Xiu ordered. His Lord Grim took the lead, using a Back Throw to completely fold Fang Rui's Boundless Sea into the dark corner. The other four members of Happy wouldn't show him any mercy. All sorts of attacks rained down on him. Fang Rui saw the encirclement and realized these guys had deliberately abandoned skills with dazzling light and sound effects, silently trying to suffocate him to death here.

Fang Rui was unwilling, but what could he do? No matter how great his skills, no matter how much of a master of sneak attacks he was, he was now trapped in a corner by five people and had no way to escape.

Boundless Sea fell. With this, the Wind Howl team was completely wiped out.

The shard that Wind Howl had acquired was indeed on Boundless Sea. Fang Rui had painstakingly snuck around, finally escaping, but ended up giving it to Happy.

Fang Rui shook his head and sighed. He stood up from his seat to stretch his muscles. When he turned his head, he saw Zhao Yuzhe still glancing at him out of the corner of his eye from time to time.

Fang Rui wryly smiled. He was a veteran player who had been fighting for many years. He knew the problems Liu Hao had pointed out even better than Liu Hao himself.

After Tang Hao joined Wind Howl, the team's strength seemed to have greatly increased, directly entering the top four last season. But for Fang Rui himself, his abilities were compressed in this team. His猥琐 (weisuo - unconventional/underhanded) style had almost no connection with Tang Hao's style, and neither did it with the rising Zhao Yuzhe.

The Wind Howl team was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him. They had gotten through the last season like this, but the problem was already obvious. Fang Rui felt it, Tang Hao and Zhao Yuzhe felt it, so wouldn't the heads of the club see it?

Thinking of the situation when Lin Jingyan was persuaded to retire by the club, Fang Rui felt confused about his future. Seeing Tang Hao and Zhao Yuzhe's clear dissatisfaction with him, Fang Rui felt his departure was accelerating. Tang Hao was the current core of Wind Howl, and Zhao Yuzhe was the promising future, the focus of cultivation. He had no chance of winning such a competition. Or should he retreat? Cater to Wind Howl's new style?

Unfortunately, Fang Rui had been 猥琐 (weisuo) for so many years, and his play style was deeply ingrained. He couldn't follow Tang Hao, Zhao Yuzhe, and these young people in their passion. His profession wasn't suitable for it either.

It seems, the time has really come...

Seeing Tang Hao stand up in the training room, Zhao Yuzhe stand up, and then the players one after another began to go back to rest, Fang Rui raised his neck and looked at the ceiling. For these players who struggled in the game world, this was the most common sky for them. The lights were the stars. They had been looking at them for so many years and were used to it, but now, it seemed they were really going to change the sky.

Take it one step at a time!

Fang Rui turned off the computer. When he left the training room last, he didn't forget to turn off all the lights and power.

Wind Howl retreated. But the battle in Hundred Ghosts Lair continued. Happy now had two shards and was waiting on the sidelines without the knowledge of the two guilds. The situation couldn't be better. Now, the most important thing was patience, patiently waiting for the two to fight to the death.

This wasn't a match with the goal of killing all the opponents. In this duel, there was only one goal: shards!

The shard could only be on one character in the opponent's formation, so in this duel, the full-attack, full-defense tactic was rarely used. Both sides were aiming at one target and chasing it fiercely. Kill one and see if there was a shard. If they got it, they could finish. If not, they would repeat the process.

Ye Xiu hoped that both sides would protect their shards well so that they could consume the characters one by one. At the same time, he was carefully observing the actions of both sides during the battle to infer which character each side's shard was hidden on.

"Any discoveries?" Su Mucheng also observed while asking.

"Uh, there's not much special about Team Royal Wind. Protecting the healer is a must. It may also be on the healer, providing double protection," Ye Xiu said.

"So Misty Rain's focus is also on Gentle Angel," Su Mucheng said. Gentle Angel was the name of the Royal Wind's Guardian Angel character. As a healer, such a sweet and cute name was common. This character was indeed a female character and used to have a female owner. But now... his owner had changed, Ren Junchi, a pure man. Just looking at the conflict between the two names, Gentle Angel, the psychological quality of this player didn't need to be emphasized too much.

"Yes, that's right. But it's even harder to judge Misty Rain's side. All four ranged characters have a sense of distance and security. Li Hua's ninja is flexible and versatile and is proficient in all kinds of escape skills. It wouldn't be surprising if it was placed on any character. Based on your understanding of Chu Yunxiu, judge which person she would put it on," Ye Xiu said.

"It just looks like it could be on anyone," Su Mucheng said.

"Okay!" Ye Xiu said helplessly. The current situation wasn't too good.

"We need to keep a close eye on them. What if Royal Wind has it on Gentle Angel, and he's killed by Misty Rain first..." Ye Xiu said. This was the situation that they, as fishermen, were most unwilling to see. They needed a lose-lose situation, and it would be the least profitable situation to finish after just killing one person.

"Footsteps!" Tang Rou suddenly said.

"Hmm? Which side?" Ye Xiu was stunned. But he knew that Tang Rou might have had professional training in sound, and her hearing was exceptionally sharp and accurate. He quickly asked.

"From the way we came!" Tang Rou said.

"Why didn't I hear it?" Baozi was still wondering, and he lay his Steamed Bun Invasion on the ground, turning his perspective and putting his ear to the ground.

This seemed to be the legendary listening method. It seemed Baozi had some knowledge. But, was there such a setting in Glory? At least Ye Xiu, who was known as the Glory Textbook, showed an idiotic expression in front of Baozi's actions.

"From our direction," Tang Rou said.

"It's Tyranny!" Ye Xiu said. There was no other possibility besides Tyranny.

Now, Happy was caught in the middle. On one side was the fierce battle between the two guilds, and on the other side was Tyranny rushing over. They had no other way out. As for wanting to avoid the passing Tyranny, unless Tyranny's five people were so otherworldly that they didn't look sideways, they wouldn't be able to avoid them.

"Prepare for battle..." Ye Xiu said helplessly. Another oriole came from behind. This was really unlucky.

At this time, should the two guilds each decide the outcome, or should they simply lead the four guilds into a big melee? Ye Xiu hesitated slightly and quickly dismissed the former idea. A chaotic situation like four-way fighting would be more disadvantageous for teams without healers. In addition, Happy's Tang Rou and the other two had far less experience than the players of several other teams. It would be more difficult for them to cope with this chaotic rhythm.

Let's have each side decide the outcome!

Thinking this, Ye Xiu led the four out of the corner, advancing instead of retreating, wanting to prevent their upcoming battle from being noticed by the other two.

The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer. The figures of Tyranny's five characters finally appeared at the front of the passage.

"Don't act rashly. Pay attention to my instructions," Ye Xiu said in the channel.

The old guys of Tyranny had no secrets from Ye Xiu. They knew each other extremely well, and it was extremely difficult for them to play tricks on each other. Without unconventional tactics, only a head-on confrontation, Happy was too tender compared to Tyranny. So, after circling back, Ye Xiu still had to find some tricks.

Tyranny's five people also stopped when they saw Happy's five people. Both sides had already recognized each other clearly. Ye Xiu heard someone on the other side say, "It's you again."

"Same here," Ye Xiu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiu heard an explosion.

He knew that a fierce battle was going on over there. He didn't want Tyranny to notice, so he specifically led the crowd to meet them. This place should not be able to hear the sound of the battle over there, but this explosion... Was the battle moving?

Ye Xiu heard this sound, and of course, the people of Tyranny also heard it.

"The sound of a flashbang? Who's over there?" Zhang Jiale immediately showed his extraordinary Sharpshooter qualities.

"Royal Wind!" Zhang Xinjie also immediately made a deduction. Flashbang, a Sharpshooter skill. Among the 25 characters entering the Hundred Ghosts Lair, there were only two Sharpshooters, Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms and Shen Wanhong's Flash.

"Who are they fighting with?" Zhang Jiale asked.

"Misty Rain?" The dense sound of bullets gave them the answer. Only Misty Rain had brought three Sharpshooters.

How did these two end up fighting over here? Ye Xiu was thinking hard about this question. In just an instant, he had realized it.

It's Fang Rui!

That guy is really selfish. This guy must have sent a message to those two, telling them that Happy's people were waiting here! Everyone was using professional characters this time, so it wasn't surprising that they had added each other as friends.

So these two were pretending to fight or setting up some trap to lure Happy in, or suddenly approaching to join forces and solve Happy after paralyzing them. In short, it was absolutely impossible to let Happy take advantage of being the fisherman.

Worthy of being the master of sneak attacks, he almost tricked himself.
