Chapter 159: The Power of the Trap
They couldn’t hold on any longer!
Bai Ying, Night Glow, and the others had gloomy expressions.
They never expected the enemies to be so strong. Though not as powerful as them, each one was still quite capable.
If they died and respawned, the quest would fail completely. If they had known earlier, they should have just stayed in a stalemate instead of coming out—maybe there would have been a sliver of hope.
Bai Ying and Night Glow secretly regretted their decision. As for Bloody Rose’s team, only two were left, but they were still fighting desperately.
Now, regret was useless. The Sea Clan players simply didn’t give them a chance to retreat into the Magic Array. If this continued, the whole group would soon be wiped out.
Two minutes passed, and two more died. From Bai Ying’s three teams, only seven remained. On the Sea Clan players’ side, ten had also fallen, but there were still twenty left, and those remaining were the strongest. Bai Ying and the others wouldn’t last much longer.
But at that moment, both sides in the battle saw figures dashing toward them under the pale moonlight.
“It’s over, they’ve finished over there and are rushing back.” When Bai Ying and the others saw this, their faces turned ashen. Their last shred of hope vanished.
“Wait! It’s that Hunter coming back. The female warrior is still there too!”
Night Glow stared at the gradually clear figures and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“What’s going on? Did all of our people die?”
“It seems really true. We can’t contact any of them!”
On the Sea Clan players’ side, seeing that it was the Hunter returning, their hearts sank.
“How could that be? No matter how strong he is, he couldn’t have killed nearly twenty people in less than ten minutes, right?”
“If all our people stood together and got ambushed by his pet’s ultimate skill, maybe it was possible. But the twenty who went after him couldn’t have been that stupid, could they?”
Among the remaining twenty-plus Sea Clan players, discussions erupted. They found it extremely unbelievable that Chen Mo had returned.
“What do we do? He might have gotten some powerful new equipment or skill, allowing him to kill over twenty of our Sea Clan players in one go. If he joins the fight, we might actually lose.”
No matter what they thought, that Hunter was charging toward the battle. They had to face this terrifying enemy.
“Let him come. Are we afraid of him? We don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t beat him alone!”
One person snarled. The human players opposite were already weakened; the few left could die at any moment. Their real enemy was only that Hunter!
“Kill! Before that Hunter arrives, kill these human players first!”
The twenty-plus Sea Clan players suddenly intensified their attacks. Bai Ying, Night Glow, Bloody Rose, and the other seven felt the pressure skyrocket!
“Hold on! There might still be hope!”
All three were top-tier players. They could tell something unusual was happening. Though they didn’t know the reason, they could see the Sea Clan players were desperate to kill them quickly.
Of course, they wouldn’t just wait to die. They faintly sensed that it was that Hunter player who caused such a fierce reaction from the enemies.
“Boss, be careful!”
The Sea Clan players’ assault was fierce. Among the seven, two resolutely sacrificed themselves to block the strongest wave of attacks, allowing Bai Ying, Night Glow, and the others to avoid the deadliest strikes and survive.
Even so, Bai Ying and the others felt their hearts sink. The Sea Clan players’ attacks were still relentless!
“Watch out! That guy is here!”
But just when they thought they couldn’t hold on any longer, that Hunter and the female warrior, along with a beautiful pet, suddenly rushed into the battlefield!
Bai Ying and the three others suddenly felt a weight lift off them. The pressure greatly reduced. The moment the Hunter joined the fight, more than half of the attacks shifted to him.
Facing over ten attacks alone, it was impossible for that Hunter to withstand them all. Earlier, two of Bai Ying’s comrades had died exactly that way, focused-fired to death.
But Bai Ying and the three soon witnessed the prowess of that stunningly beautiful pet they had never seen before. The beautiful pet moved swiftly and positioned herself in front of the barrage of attacks.
Numbers floated above her head, showing Health Points lost. To their astonishment, Bai Ying and the others realized this beautiful pet’s Health Points had barely dropped!
A BOSS-level pet!
With just one glance, they knew this pet absolutely belonged to the BOSS-level!
No wonder the Sea Clan players were so wary of this Hunter. They knew how powerful the Hunter’s pet was, hence treating him as a grave threat.
“There’s hope! This Hunter is strong. Let’s reduce his burden so he can fight at full strength!”
Bai Ying shouted loudly. He didn’t know exactly how powerful that Hunter was, but he definitely wasn’t just relying on a BOSS pet! Otherwise, the Hunter wouldn’t have risked charging into the battlefield himself; he could have just commanded his pet from a distance.
The Hunter’s own strength must be remarkable. With him and his pet here, they still had a good chance of winning this battle!
Earlier, that Hunter, along with the female warrior beside him and their pet, had taken out the twenty Sea Clan players chasing them. Now, their opponents were also just over twenty Sea Clan players, while on their side, not only were there the Hunter and the female warrior, but also the five survivors from their three teams. The chance of victory wasn’t small!
“Alright!” Night Glow and Bloody Rose both agreed with low shouts.
Their judgment was no worse than Bai Ying’s; they recognized this was a rare, excellent opportunity to turn the tables. If anything happened to that Hunter, they would definitely lose!
The five immediately buffed themselves, used their strongest skills, and drew the Sea Clan players’ fire.
The five remaining players from Bai Ying’s group were elites among elites. When all five went all-out, the Sea Clan players under their attacks couldn’t simply ignore them. Those Sea Clan players who were chasing Chen Mo, wanting to focus-fire and kill him first, had no choice but to evade their onslaught.
Feeling the pressure ease, Chen Mo glanced at Bai Ying and the others and quietly sighed in relief.
These people coordinated well. With their support, his actions would be much easier, especially since Sesshylow’s Hurricane Skill had already been used up in the previous fight against those twenty.
“Kill! This guy is being suppressed and can’t fight back. Put in more effort!”
On the battlefield, Chen Mo moved swiftly, not launching attacks at the Sea Clan players. Sesshylow and Xue Ye Hua worked hard beside him, blocking attacks for him and attacking the enemies.
The Sea Clan players thought their attacks were working and wanted to go all-out to kill this guy who carried a 5000 Points bounty as soon as possible.
“What’s going on? Were we wrong?”
Seeing Chen Mo only dodged and didn’t counterattack, Bai Ying and the three felt their hearts sink, wondering if they had misjudged.
BOOM!
But right then, Bai Ying and the three suddenly saw the Hunter halt. An explosion sounded, and the enemies around the Hunter instantly took over a thousand points of Damage!
A Trap!
Bai Ying and the three suddenly understood. So this Hunter wasn’t fighting back because he was setting traps!
They indeed hadn’t misjudged him. This Trap’s Damage was very high, taking out half the Health Points of several people at once. There was a chance now!
The five unconsciously prepared to shift their firepower, aiming to kill those Sea Clan players who were injured by the Trap first. After fighting for so long, these Sea Clan players had already lost some Health Points. Now, with half gone, several were on the verge of death. With just two or three attacks hitting them, they could immediately kill two or three, narrowing the numbers gap between the two sides.
However, before they could launch their attacks, they saw a large gray-black vortex appear at the Trap’s explosion site. The huge vortex emitted a powerful suction force, pulling most of the surrounding Sea Clan players into it!
This Trap actually had multiple effects—it was a super-large Trap!
After a moment of shock, Bai Ying and the others immediately knew the real chance to turn the battle had arrived!
Under the gray-black vortex, the Sea Clan players inside were basically just sitting ducks!
“Kill! Focus fire on those with low Health… No, attack those with high Health Points!”
Initially, they wanted to take the chance to kill the Sea Clan players with low Health. But they saw that those inside the Vortex Trap not only were sucked in and couldn’t move freely, but also took significant Damage. Even without their follow-up attacks, those with low Health would be killed by the Trap itself!
The five focused their fire, and the Damage was incredibly high. In the short few seconds that the Vortex Trap lasted, three players were killed by them.
Of course, those three didn’t have full Health to begin with.
After killing three in a row, Bai Ying and the others gained much more confidence. But when they looked at the gradually dissipating gray-black vortex, they were utterly shocked.
All the enemies hit by the Trap’s first wave of attack had already died. The remaining Sea Clan players closer to the Trap’s center also lost half their Health Points in just a few seconds. Those with half Health Points had already been killed by that Hunter, the female warrior, and that beautiful pet.
It could be said that the Sea Clan’s melee players were almost completely wiped out in this wave of attack. Only three or four melee players who stood farther away and five or six ranged players remained.
The Sea Clan players were down to nine. With their five, plus that Hunter and the female warrior, the difference in numbers between the two sides was only two people!
A gap of two people, with that Hunter here, was nothing!
Shocked, Bai Ying and the three exchanged glances, then fiercely charged at the remaining Sea Clan players!
The remaining nine Sea Clan players resisted desperately, but they couldn’t withstand the fierce attacks from a group of experts. In just a few minutes, all nine were killed. The Sea Clan players were completely wiped out.
“These human Adventurers are this powerful? We can’t let them go!”
With the Sea Clan players all dead, the four Sea Clan NPCs were furious. They turned around, about to attack Chen Mo, Bai Ying, and the others.
“Your opponents are us!”
“I’ll help you!”
But the four human NPCs tightly entangled the Sea Clan NPCs. Not only that, after the Sea Clan players were completely wiped out, the two other NPCs repairing the Magic Array also moved, preparing to join the fight.
“Let’s go!” The four Sea Clan NPCs knew the situation was hopeless. They flashed and retreated together.
The human NPCs didn’t pursue, just letting the Sea Clan NPCs disappear into the night.
“So this person is that Hunter? He really is powerful!”
What Chen Mo didn’t expect was that on a highland not too far from the Wind Magic Array, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon stood there, watching the situation below, and praised.
“See, I told you before, this guy has real skills. We can’t afford to offend him.”
But what Chen Mo found even more unexpected was that standing beside Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon was No Lack of Money, whom he had met once and almost fought. No Lack of Money was smiling as he spoke to one of his subordinates beside him.
