Chapter 218 - Chasing and Killing
“Get away!”
He slashed Nicholas Tiezhu aside with a back hand so contemptuously, and rushed towards Xiao Feng with a rather determined look.
However, Xiao Feng remained unperturbed. When the 30-second cooldown time of the four buffs was up, he immediately added to him those buffs, and put on his Golden Bull Totem, neither hiding nor evading. Then the reckless bull and the brown-haired Berserker fell into a vehement fight.
The brown-haired Berserker, who was still sneering, totally ignored the priest’s attack and directly swapped one slash of Xiao Feng’s with another but soon after, his expression changed.
“-21!”
“-17!”
It was his damage on the priest, which not even hurt Xiao Feng’s blood skin even when putting the swords together. Then he had no way but to watch Xiao Feng hit upon him with a golden mace.
“-823!”
An appallingly high damage indicator rose above the Berserker’s head which had also made his eyes wide open. He found his health bar was empty instantly. And he fell down with incredible expression and became a dead body in a flash.
Though Xiao Feng gained the upper hand, he didn’t want to spare anyone. Besides, with his buff effect, he directly patted on Xiaoxue’s head, turned around and rushed towards the monkey-like little black boy.
“Click!”
However, at this moment, a flash of lightening appeared above Xiao Feng’s head. It was a flash of thunderbolt coming at Xiao Feng.
“Hiss!”
Xiaoxue neighed. No matter how agile it was, it could not escape the thunder swiftly like Xiao Feng. Now it was heavily burnt by the electricity with Xiao Feng.
“Boom!”
At the same time, a black arrow exploded at Xiaoxue’s feet, and the impact wave blew Xiao Feng away, who fell off his mount.
Xiao Feng’s heart sank. God of Thunder and Firestorm Tyrant again struck at him. In this condition, Xiaoxue’s big strong body presented them as an obvious target, which forced Xiao Feng to send it back to the mount space.
However, at the same time, without the superiority of Xiaoxue’s height, it also meant that he lost the advantage of looking down from a height. It was extremely unfavorable for the Huaxia District’s players because many of them wouldn’t get Xiao Feng’s follow-up buffs.
And now, the buffs would soon come to an end after ten seconds.
“Ding!”
“Block!”
Nevertheless, Xiao Feng now had not much time to think. As soon as he landed on the ground, the monkey-like little black boy came down from many players’ shoulders. He was ugly and grinned, slashing at Xiao Feng’s neck with the strange bent blade in his hand.
Xiao Feng then blocked the attack with the Golden Bull Totem, and managed to seize the chance to seckilled the little black boy. Yet the boy was extraordinarily agile to roll on the ground and slid into the crowd of players and disappeared.
“Squeak!”
A bolt of lightning flashed through the crowd. It was God of Thunder who had opened up his wide-range attack. With several electrical snakes crawling along the ground, he produced a crossed lightning chain in the crowd. And there came the damage indicators above the players around Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng frowned. However, the duration time of buffs was about to end and there was not much time to deal with God of Thunder, so he jumped up, and got a very transient time to look from a height. And then the four major buffs were resumed.
Yet he didn’t look well when he landed because of the depletion of the numbers of his teammates. During this time of buffs, they had been killed or wounded by one third.
Although their attribute points had been improved dramatically after having buffs, they still couldn’t fight against the players in the Joint Theater. Because there were too many players in the Joint Theater. It was ten times the number of the players in the Huaxia District. If Xiao Feng hadn’t added buffs to all of them, they would have already died in the first round.
However, what made Xiao Feng angry was that the buff he just cast had not been added to everyone as scheduled. Because of his limited vision, only half of the players were finally added. It was estimated that only two hundred players gained the buffs.
The players in Huaxia District were very brave. Under the protection of Xiao Feng’s Buff, they killed thousands of players in the Joint Theater in the first round of confrontation. This kind of record was really amazing.
But for those who were not protected by Buffs, it was definitely a disaster. If the duration time of buff ended, half of the players in the Huaxia District would be seckilled.
“Boom!”
Another black arrow was shot at them, blowing away the players around Xiao Feng and afterwards clearing an open space in the crowd.
“Master Healer! Let’s get out of here! The Treasure Island is going to disappear! All we need to do is to buy some time, and wait till the system sends us back after the island disappears!”
War Spirit Knife shouted at Xiao Feng. He had just got up off the ground, and spit the mud out of his mouth.
The ground vibrated more severely and one could see the sea level was gradually rising, which meant that the island had sped up in sinking.
“It’s true and it isn’t worth a fight. Let’s go, Master Xiao. Losing your artifact would not be worthwhile.”
War Spirit Ziyi, who hadn’t been killed yet, was hiding behind together with Xiao Feng and other players. Attacked by the God of Thunder and the Firestorm Tyrant, her health bar suffered heavy losses.
Looking around, Xiao Feng saw that there were only twenty players around. Besides several acquaintances such as Nicholas Brothers and Han Feng, there was the War Spirit Hall led by War Spirit Knife and several members from Midsummer Guild who followed Si Yejing. While the rest of the Huaxia District’s players had been totally surrounded by the players of the Joint Theater, they had no chance to get away.
Additionally, in the short time, a large number of players were slayed, most of whom failed to get the second-round buffs. Under siege of several continuous skills, their health points were emptied.
War Spirit Knife’s words were not all unreasonable because the Joint Theater had been held in play by its enemies from Huaxia District while they were not besieged yet at the back and still had time to withdraw. They only needed to wait several more minutes to be sent back by force by the system when the island was gone, and in this way, it would avoid the risk of dropping any artifacts for them.
“Coo, coo!”
However, not being sieged didn’t mean that they were safe. The black little boy directly went through the legs of numerous players and took the opportunity to strike at Xiao Feng. He arrived at the back of Xiao Feng and stabbed his ass.
Xiao Feng was somewhat disgusted with this black boy. So he lifted the Hammer of Judgment and seckilled him. Suddenly the slim black boy was lying at the foot of Xiao Feng.
“Come on, then.”
Xiao Feng began to speak. He chose to withdraw, not for the sake of himself or the artifacts dropped when dead. He just didn’t want to lose people around him.
In any case, their aims were all to protect themselves. If killed in a melee, they would lose not only their experiences and level, but also their equipment, for which Xiao Feng would feel regret though he didn’t need their protection at all.
Now, the remaining 200 Huaxia District’s players had been completely drowned by the players of the Joint Theater, whose silhouettes had been invisible.
There were many players targeting at Xiao Feng. So if Xiao Feng took action, the dozens of players in the Joint Theaters would chase him.
These players were all masters of various theaters. Their aims were to capture artifacts from beginning to the end, which were totally different with the aims of the common players. The purpose of the common players was to wipe out the Huaxia District. So as along as Xiao Feng took action, they would catch up with him.
“Stop them! Don’t let them go!”
“Hurry up! The event venue is about to disappear!”
“Don’t kill that priest! He owned two artifacts!”
God of Thunder had the skill to move instantly. So he kept chasing ahead. He was still casting skills while chasing.
The dozens of masters of various theaters led by him were chasing after Xiao Feng. They were bound to catch Xiao Feng.
“Chuu, Chuu, Chuu!”
The row of arrows, seemingly infused with souls, was welcoming Xiao Feng and his fellows, but suddenly skirted them and flied towards the chasing rivals behind them.
“This way! Hurry up!”
Then Han Feng appeared in a hurry. He waved his hand at Xiao Feng and the others, and then ran toward a higher mountain.
It could be seen that the Treasure Island had begun to drown from the outer area toward the center of the island. However, this hillside was the tallest place on the Treasure Island.
“Swish!”
A group of players immediately caught up with Han Feng. He tried his best to stall the time. He was looking forward that the event venue could be closed immediately. Only in this way could this group of people be transmitted out by force.
But at this moment, a cold light flashed. A short knife stabbed toward the back side of Xiao Feng’s head. Senbon Zakura did it again.
“Learning nothing!”
Xiao Feng turned around to fight back. But he didn’t expect that her surprise attack was a false attack. When Xiao Feng paused, a vine broke through the ground and seemed to twine around Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng’s footstep changed so swiftly in no time, and shifted fast and freely in a vast vine.
Again, it was the plant pet, which seemed to be Senbon Zakura’s.
“Ah!”
Nicholas Tiezhu who stood beside Xiao Feng cried out in alarm. Though Xiao Feng had escaped from it, his right leg was entangled by a vine.
“Don’t worry about me! You must go!”
Nicholas Tiezhu had cut the vine with his sword twice, only to find that the damage notification had shown. Immediately, he came to realize that the vine was strange and he shouted at other players.
“Tiezhu!”
But Nicholas Zhaosi looked back and shot at Nicholas Tiezhu, in hope to help him out. With a scattering, five arrows came straight at the vine.
The fight capacity of the pet was quite common because it was not flexible enough. They might be useful when players were attacking a boss. No one wanted to summon a burden as they were of little help during a pk. Sometimes, they troubled their masters for losing loyalty index. Thus, except for controlling pets, normal ones were of little use.
However, pets had high health points. Otherwise, they would not be used by most players to confront creeps and bosses. Now this was the case. Though Nicholas Tiezhu cut it several times and Nicholas Zhaosi shot it with many arrows, the vine still didn’t loose.
During this time of delay, there were more and more enemies behind him.
“Boom!”
A black arrow exploded in the middle of Xiao Feng and others. Suddenly, a group of players were scattered by the impact wave. And then, more than a dozen masters of the Joint Theater rushed up.
“Die!”
The War Spirit Ziyi was the first one to die. As a priest, her Transitional speed was not so fast. Although she was behind the team and increased herself with health points, she had lost the buff that Xiao Feng added her. Finally, she became a totally delicate priest who could be seckilled by a simple critical strike of the player with mustache.
The critical strike of 300 damage points was enough to prove how strong these players were!
