Chapter 374: Chapter 355 Assassination Failed?
"Boss Feng, this time it seems we’ve stirred up quite a fuss!"
On a snow peak, Shuai Diao Zha suddenly said to Lin Yi.
Then Shuai Diao Zha recounted the involvement of Qingyi Pavilion in the matter.
Lin Yi asked:
"Where are they now?"
Shuai Diao Zha:
"Hold on, let me check."
Shuai Diao Zha logged into the forum, watched some live videos from players, and then said:
"They are about seven to eight minutes away."
Lin Yi checked the mission time limit; there were still over 4 hours left.
Then Lin Yi said to Zhang Xinying:
"Buff us up."
Zhang Xinying acknowledged with a hum and immediately began buffing everyone:
"Holy Light Lv3" increases teammates’ healing effects by 25%, lasts 10 minutes.
"Heart of Guardian Lv3" increases teammates’ physical/magic defense by 20%, lasts 10 minutes.
"Divine Strike Lv3" increases teammates’ physical/magic attack by 15%, lasts 10 minutes.
"Shadow of Holy Light Lv3" increases teammates’ movement speed by 18%, lasts 10 minutes.
"Order-Defending Array Lv2" grants immunity to 8% of the damage received for teammates, lasts 30 minutes.
"Divine Shelter Lv1 (Third Transformation new skill)" increases teammates by 50hp/s, lasts 30 minutes.
After a bunch of BUFFs had been applied, Lin Yi then said to Tian Ci and Red Eyes:
"You two go down, find a chance to take out Divine Hall Yingying for me, and cause chaos."
The two were stunned, wasn’t it supposed to start ten minutes later?
However, since Lin Yi said so, they didn’t argue:
"We promise to complete the mission."
Then Tian Ci and Red Eyes immediately entered stealth, jumping off the cliff.
Next, Lin Yi had Shuai Diao Zha, Dongfang Jing, and Zhan Chen jump onto the dragon’s back:
"Go and harass them; the number of kills isn’t the main goal, try to divert their attention to give Red Eyes and them a chance."
Shuai Diao Zha and Zhan Chen indicated:
"Understood."
Dongfang Jing, with a cold expression, jumped onto the dragon’s back without a word, though she responded to Lin Yi’s arrangement with her actions.
At this point in the team, only the three of them and Lin Yi were ranged professions.
Then Lin Yi said to Zhang Xinying:
"You go with them, be careful."
Even though they were in the sky, it wasn’t absolutely safe.
Because whether it’s magic or arrows, the attack has a range limitation.
While they’re releasing skills into the crowd below, the below can also use remote magic attacks on them on the dragon’s back.
Having Zhang Xinying go as a safeguard.
At least as flying equipment hasn’t become widespread yet, as long as Zhang Xinying maintains some distance from the ground, it’s absolutely safe.
When Zhan Chen was the last to jump onto the dragon’s back, under Lin Yi’s control, the Elf Dragon flapped its wings and slowly rose.
However, at this point, Lin Yi already:
Activated flight mode
Wings instantly spread from Lin Yi’s back, and the speechless ones hastily asked:
"What about us?"
Lin Yi glanced at them and smiled:
"You guys rest up now, there will be time to show your stuff later."
After speaking, Lin Yi leapt off Snow Peak Mountain, his four wings suddenly spread wide, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face instantly.
The Elf Dragon couldn’t keep too far from Lin Yi, so Lin Yi had to stay around the Elf Dragon.
...
"Look quickly, that’s an Elf Dragon!"
When the massive body of the Elf Dragon descended from the sky, players from Divine Court noticed at once and exclaimed.
Divine Hall Yingying hastily ordered:
"Everyone buff up, spread out a bit, don’t clump together!"
In a flash, the entire canyon emitted various lights.
Elf Priests and Priests were all activating status skills for everyone, the ground was also filled with the Elf Priest’s totems.
When everyone was ready, each person’s face was exceedingly serious, watching the approaching Elf Dragon:
"Roar!"
A resonant dragon’s roar came from above, sending chills to everyone’s hearts below:
"This dragon is seriously messing up the game balance, just looking at it makes your legs shake."
"Who said it wasn’t."
"If it weren’t for the good rewards, who would want to go against Feng Hua!"
"Stop talking, it’s coming."
Under heavy protection, Divine Hall Yingying watched the increasingly clear giant dragon in the snowstorm and suddenly spoke:
"All ranged professions, prepare."
At that moment, Shuai Diaozha waved his magic staff towards the crowd and activated a skill:
"Fire Dragon Tornado!"
A huge flaming tornado suddenly swept through the crowd, with dense damage numbers floating up from among the people:
"Damn, priest save me."
"This isn’t Feng Hua, it’s that scum."
"Scatter quickly!"
Many people were instantly killed by the fire dragon tornado skill, and most of those who survived showed low health, causing the crowd to scatter and flee.
As the fire dragon tornado descended, Zhan Chen was already aiming with his bow under the tornado:
"Gale Arrow Rain (Third transformation new group attack skill)"
Following that, a wave of arrows sliced through the wind, directly harvesting those with low health, leaving them no chance to be saved.
Dongfang Jing casually raised a hand, and a light ball fell into the crowd, instantly causing a burst of strong light:
"Boom," it exploded instantly, leaving a scene of death and injury.
The power was terrifying!
This skill was somewhat similar to Lin Yi’s Arcane Burst, and Dongfang Jing often faced teasing from Tian Ci and others because of this skill.
In response to everyone’s teasing, Dongfang Jing mostly maintained a silent attitude, as if saying, "Say whatever you like."
Although the trio’s wave of skills caused significant casualties to the Divine Court, they also endured a lot themselves.
When the Elf Dragon approached the crowd, Divine Hall Yingying waved her hand angrily and said:
"Shoot!"
In an instant, hundreds of colorful magic attacks were simultaneously unleashed towards the Elf Dragon, creating an incredibly shocking scene.
However, most of the attacks were blocked by the level 39 Elf Dragon, with damage barely reaching a hundred.
Yet, the sheer quantity of attacks reduced the Elf Dragon, with over forty thousand life points, by one-third in a single moment, which was terrifying.
Shuai Diaozha and others were also affected, and their life points dropped sharply.
Fortunately, Zhang Xinying’s timely healing restored their life points in an instant.
With its mission complete, the Elf Dragon soared into the air.
Just as the Divine Court members were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Divine Hall Yingying suddenly sensed something was wrong:
"Priest, deploy [Reconnaissance] around me."
When a priest reaches level thirty, they learn two new skills, one being [Reconnaissance], which can detect hidden thieves within a certain range, commonly referred to as a thief’s nemesis.
The other is the priest’s signature ability [Resurrection Technique], which can bring someone back to life, restoring a small amount of life value.
However, the game has a rule that the same person can only be resurrected by a priest three times in a day.
And the intervals between these three resurrections must be no less than five hours.
This means each person can only be resurrected by a priest once every five hours.
As soon as Divine Hall Yingying finished speaking, more than a dozen priests began to carpet the surrounding area with the [Reconnaissance] skill.
But nothing appeared.
Just as Divine Hall Yingying suspected it might have been a hallucination, a sudden chill ran down her spine: from above!
A flash of light appeared, and a small silver sword descended from the sky. Divine Hall Yingying instantly recognized this familiar figure:
"Divine Thief Red Eyes!"
Red Eyes brought the skill:
"Sunset Silver Glimmer"
Directly attacking above Divine Hall Yingying’s head. However, to Red Eyes’ surprise, this ’Divine Hall Yingying’ seemed like paper, being directly torn apart.
"Stand: Paperman"
Red Eyes thought to himself that things had gone awry.
At this moment, several Shield Warriors rushed up, shields in hand:
"Shield Strike!"
"Charge!"
Red Eyes, upon landing, was unfortunately triggered by a passive skill, causing one second of dizziness.
That one second directly sealed Red Eyes’ fate.
Subsequently, under the combined assault of the surrounding players, Red Eyes’ life points instantly reached zero, and he fell to the ground.
"He’s dead, I killed Red Eyes, hahaha~"
"I killed Divine Thief Red Eyes, I’m going to be famous, wow wow wow~"
At the moment of Red Eyes’ death, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.
Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner, Divine Hall Yingying weakly watched Red Eyes being killed, an air of complacency flashing in her eyes:
"I knew you would come to assassinate me, luckily I was prepared."
At the moment, Divine Hall Yingying’s life points were only half-full, and even a priest couldn’t completely restore them.
This was the aftereffect of that skill [Stand: Paperman].
Just as Divine Hall Yingying was feeling proud, a playful voice came from above her:
"Oh, really?"
