Void ripples spread out in the space like a wave spreading across a surface. The attack range not being broad as the skill level was too low was the only weakness of this skill, but the damage was absolutely stunning.
The Durian Bomb Tree caused considerable damage and confusion to the two teams of the Warring Dragon Guild. The Void Ripple silently appeared at this time. Although the attack range of the skill was not large, it was more than enough to deal with the scenario at hand. The remaining seven adventurers of the Warring Dragon Guild were frantically running away, but still densely packed together. The Queen of the Night's Void Ripple was like a massive shock wave, traversing across their bodies!
-187! -179! -126! MISS!
Several immense damage values nearly two hundred surged from the heads of the several retreating figures!
From the previous attack by the Durian Bomb Tree, out of the two Priests, one Priest was directly killed by the sneak attack, while the HP of the other was bordering the brink of death. Although he had similarly drunk a bottle of HP recovery potions like the adventurers around him, however for a Level 20 potion that only provided recovery of 30 HP per second, it proved to have no effect at all.
Once the Void Ripples were out, except for the adventurers that the attack had missed, the remaining were all obliterated in a flash, including the remaining Priest. They all turned into white light and collapsed to the ground!
Five more deaths!
There were only two remaining!
"Dharma, attack the Archer on the left!"
As soon as the damage values of the Void Ripple popped up, Ye Chen, who had clearly seen everything that happened immediately shouted.
"Okay!"
Ye Chen and the Queen of the Night only used one skill respectively, and they almost wiped out the opponents. For Dharma Master Summum Bonum, who had not seen this scene before, his blood was boiling feverishly with excitement. If it weren't for Ye Chen's instructions beforehand, he would have long made a move as well. At this time, when Ye Chen's voice sounded, the arrow that he had already nocked shot forward blindingly with a loud TWANG!
BOOM!
His arrow was akin to a meteor, drawing a rapid, straight arc as it whistled through the air, and slammed into the surviving Archer who hadn't had time to run far away.
-344!
Tremendous critical damage floated above his head, and Dharma's arrow was lucky enough to hit critical damage. The Archer fell to the ground helplessly. His HP being so low, even with critical damage, his death would still be without a shadow of a doubt.
"Spatial Totem Pole!" Ye Chen shouted again, and the Queen of the Night waved her staff. A one-meter high, black-and-white fusion totem pole appeared in front of the last Warrior adventurer.
This Warrior adventurer was terrified, the only thought filling his mind was that of running away. How could he ever imagine that such a thing would suddenly appear in front of him, and ram straight into his body?
Another hundred points of damage floated above his head, but the Warrior was still alive. Except for the Knight profession, the HP of Warrior adventurers was higher than that of other professions!
"Withering Light!"
"Double Consecutive Shots!"
"Spatial Fissure!"
However, the Warrior didn't have time to rejoice that his HP gauge was high before the skills of Ye Chen and the other two smashed onto his body. The Warrior could only shed tears of despair as he fell to the ground tragically.
"Haha, so many items dropped!"
The two teams died cleanly without a trace, and a lot of potions and equipment exploded on the grass in front of them. The Dharma brat rushed forward excitedly.
This was not because of the excellent quality of the equipment that was dropped, but purely due to the adrenaline from this fierce sneak attack that made him so excited. The loot in front gave him a great sense of accomplishment!
"HAHA, this young master's name is Dharma Master Summum Bonum! Remember my name well, and come at me anytime you want to take revenge!"
The bodies of the twelve adventurers of the Warring Dragon Guild laid on the ground, but they still existed in Soul-state. They didn't even see the enemy's faces but were wiped out in an instant. If they were resurrected like that, then they would really have died with grievances.
And as Dharma looked at the fluttering souls, he laughed proudly, as though not afraid of death at all.
"It's that guy, how is it possible?"
The two teams came here to pursue Dharma and Night, so obviously they recognized Dharma. But now, when they saw Dharma running out, they all couldn't believe their eyes, shouting frantically on their team channel.
A few moments ago, in a simple sneak attack, they had wiped out the four people on this guy's team. If it weren't for the remaining two reacting quickly enough and someone from the team delaying them, they might have completely wiped the guy's team out.
But now, why was it just a few minutes later, the situation would suddenly completely reverse, and the sneak attack will conversely wipe them all out instead?
"There is another person! That guy, isn't he a Botanist? They must have enlisted the help of a very powerful Botanist!"
The captain leading the two teams frowned and looked at the stone where Dharma had run out from, but there was no one else who came out from behind the stone.
"Xiao Tian, I want you to resurrect immediately and send the news back to the Regiment Head. Ask them to send reinforcements over!"
Although Ye Chen didn't show his face, the captain didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order.
Adventurers in the Soul-state cannot receive or send private chat messages, and could only communicate with teammates who were also in the Soul-state. The adventurer named Xiao Tian dutifully listened to the orders and immediately chose to return to the city to resurrect.
"Dharma, immediately pick up all the valuable equipment and leave. Someone will be coming over soon." Seeing that someone had been resurrected, Ye Chen looked at Dharma and barked out the instructions.
Dharma was still very excited now, but he hadn't completely lost his wits yet. Listening to Ye Chen's words, he quickly glanced around, picking up several pieces of equipment, and rushed back to the stone.
Under the cover of the stone, the three retreated in full speed, only leaving behind the ambiguous guise of mysterious assailants to these clueless members of the Warring Dragon Guild.
"What? Both of your teams were wiped?"
Both teams were part of the four regiments that the Warring Dragon Guild dispatched to complete the mission. The Head of the Fourth Regiment was shocked when receiving the news from Xiao Tian.
Only after the two teams were entirely destroyed could they send back messages. Didn't this mean that the other party had gathered a considerable number of people?
"How many people did the other party gather?" feeling that things have gotten slightly dangerous, the Head of the Fourth Regiment asked anxiously.
Not allowing the enemy to gather was the key to completing this mission. He had to verify how many enemies there were, and inform Luo Cheng of the situation, letting Luo Cheng make a decision.
"Well, it seems there were only three people…" Xiao Tian said a little squeakily. Twelve people being wiped out by a trio was really not a glorious thing to boast about.
"Three people? How can the three of them wipe out your twelve people? Did the twelve of you just stand still and wait for the other to kill you?" The Head of the Fourth Regiment immediately flew into a rage at this ridiculous piece of news.
"They have two incredibly powerful ranged skills," Xiao Tian hastily explained.
"Ranged skills?" The Head of the Fourth Regiment froze before his gaze sharpened. "Tell me the details."
Xiao Tian hurriedly relayed the incident, and as the Head of the Fourth Regiment heard the story, his face became more and more rigid.
"Why are there two such powerful individuals here? The people from your two teams will stay in the city first. There may be a need to interrogate you if we have questions later." After the Head of the Fourth Regiment instructed him, he hastily turned around to contact Luo Cheng.
Two teams were destroyed, and this time by a mere three people?
Luo Cheng, with a slightly rotund figure, stood next to a large crystal that was gradually emitting azure light, and his eyes flickered.
Just a while back, the Head of the Third Regiment sent a similar message. Two teams in the three regiments were wiped out by a formidable team at lightning speed. Luo Cheng had just commanded the Third Regiment to increase their patrol in that area. Now, the Fourth Regiment had reported even graver news than the Third Regiment!
What exactly is going on? In the Gray Stone Forest area, there would be very few adventurers coming here, and that was even more so for powerful adventurers. They won't bother coming all the way here just to hunt mobs to level up. But the sudden appearance of two formidable enemy squads was no mere coincidence. If you wanted to dismiss it as so, there were no reasons to justify yourself.
With the masterful skills displayed by these two teams, it was faster to level up anywhere else other than in Gray Stone Forest. In that case, did both teams come here for the mission?
Luo Cheng sighed lightly. A game was just a game in the end. Trying to keep a secret was always the most difficult to achieve. The details about the mission would ultimately be leaked.
But what disturbed Luo Cheng the most was that the areas where the two incidents occurred were close to each other. If these two teams were to unite their forces, the situation would become rather dire!
"The Third and Fourth Regiments will increase the patrol of the two areas. Once the enemy is located, don't rush to attack! Quickly contact the nearby guild members and launch a coordinated assault! At the same time, the Assassins of every regiment are to spread out and find the enemy!"
The mission was not going as smoothly as expected, but Luo Cheng did not seem flustered.
No matter how powerful the enemy was, there were only Level-20ish adventurers, after all, and they only had so many skills. After finding out the details of the opponents, it would definitely not be difficult to deal with them. After all, Luo Cheng had an absolute number advantage on this side. He did not believe that these two teams could go against the heavens and defy them!
