Chapter 617 The Hunt Begins
Chapter 617 The Hunt Begins
"No!" Bai Zhi said anxiously, "What if we leave and players from other camps come to attack us?"
She frowned and said, "I guess you can't afford the punishment after the mission fails."
Hearing her say this, the Mohawk player who made the suggestion pursed his lips, and the atmosphere around them instantly froze.
Some people who didn't want to cause internal strife quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, the punishment for mission failure is severe! I think we should just stay here. We will have to take action later.
Um... what were we talking about just now? Putting up a tent... haha..."
Soon, several simple windproof tents were set up in the leeward direction, and some people even lit special cold-resistant fuel blocks.
A small cluster of orange flames jumped tenaciously in the snow and ice, bringing a little insignificant warmth.
Someone took out a kettle and put it next to the fire to boil water. The steam rose up and was instantly torn apart by the cold wind.
The atmosphere unconsciously relaxed, as if this was not the edge of a battlefield where life and death were decided, but a temporary shelter.
But... just behind a huge ice hill less than 300 meters away from the totem pole of Country Z, a layer of golden light film that was difficult to see with the naked eye and slightly twisted like water waves perfectly concealed more than 40 elite players from Country Y.
They were isolated from the wind and snow, and also from the breath and sound. Like poisonous snakes lurking in the snow, they had been observing the Z country position for a long time.
The blonde girl Maureen held an antique silver cross inlaid with sapphires in her hand, her eyes closed, and she was muttering something.
A faint golden halo emanated from the cross and her body, like an invisible tentacle, silently reaching out to the Z country position.
"Search completed. Currently 70% of energy has been consumed, and 40% of the enemy's data has been obtained." Maureen slowly opened her blue eyes, a cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she released the cross.
"How is it?" Griffith, the leading blue-eyed young man, asked in a low voice, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"Weaker than expected." Maureen's red lips parted slightly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes: "There are only seven soul fluctuations that can make me feel a sense of crisis.
These seven people must be carrying top-grade golden items, and they are the core combat power of the other side."
"Only seven?" Griffith raised his eyebrows, somewhat incredulous.
The troops from Country Y who stayed behind to guard the totem pole were also the elite among the elite, and almost everyone of them had a golden item in hand, just to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
The forty raiders he brought this time were the best of the best, and more than twenty of them possessed golden items!
The opponent's threatening defensive force is only 7 people?
Is Country Z really so arrogant? Or... have they sent all their main forces out to hunt down the guards?
But Griffith could never have imagined that the assignment of tasks by the Z country camp opposite him, which made him feel a little uneasy subconsciously, was decided by drawing lots, which was almost a game!
Contempt and greed instantly swelled in the hearts of the players from country Y.
"No threat." Griffith made a quick judgment, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Everyone, get ready! According to the plan, the first wave will be control, and the second wave will focus on the totem poles! Prioritize eliminating the seven threatening targets!
The hunt...begins!"
The order was passed down silently, and the forty players from Country Y activated their equipment and skills in an instant like wound-up killing machines.
Energy surged silently within the golden light film.
At the same time, Xiao Jin, who had been standing next to the totem pole like an ice sculpture with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyelids the moment Maureen withdrew her detection tentacles!
There was no trace of sleepiness in those cold eyes, only a kind of heart-pounding sharpness that came from being startled!
Right at this moment!
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
Several fist-sized metal spheres flashing dangerous red light and several silver projectiles emitting piercing high-frequency noises shot out from the wind and snow without any warning, aiming directly at the players from Country Z gathered around the totem pole!
It's smoke bombs and stun bombs!
"Enemy attack--!" Bai Zhi's roar sounded almost at the same time as the explosion! But it was too late!
Boom! Buzz——!!!
Thick gray-white smoke with a pungent chemical smell exploded instantly, engulfing the entire totem pole area along with the tents and fires!
At the same time, the terrifying noise that was enough to tear the eardrums and shock the brain was like an invisible hammer, hitting the heads of the players from Country Z who were caught off guard!
"Ah! My ears!"
"Eyes! I can't see!"
"Cough! Cough cough! Is it poisonous smoke?!"
Chaotic screams and coughs instantly erupted in the smoke! Several players close to the explosion point were blown away by the shockwave of the blast bomb, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and passed out!
The burning tent was torn apart and ignited by the shock wave and air wave, and the burning fragments flew everywhere! The warm fire was blown into sparks and extinguished in an instant!
However, at the critical moment when the smoke bomb and stun bomb exploded, Xiao Jin swiftly activated the protective shield around his body.
Her footsteps were unusually clear amid the chaos around her!
hum!
A diamond-shaped light shield with a light blue data stream flowing through it instantly condensed in front of Xiao Jin, blocking the oncoming shock waves, sound waves and thick smoke!
The light shield fluctuated violently, ripples appeared on the surface, but it stood still!
At the same time, Xiao Jin's figure disappeared like a ghost the moment the light shield was deployed!
"A teleportation item?"
At the edge of the smoke, the pupils of several players from Country Y who had just revealed themselves and were about to launch the first wave of skill coverage suddenly shrank!
Before the attack, each of them was assigned a task to kill their corresponding player from Country Z. And Xiao Jin was exactly their target.
They only saw a flash of blue light at the target location, and then the most crucial figure disappeared!
What about people? !
next second!
Xiao Jin's figure seemed to step out of the void, and suddenly appeared at the edge of the smoke on the other side of the totem pole! Her eyes were like a sharp sword that pierced through the thick fog, instantly locking onto the seemingly empty snowy area in front of her!
Spatial perception activated!
More than forty sudden, hostile life energy fluctuations, like torches lit in the darkness, were clearly reflected in Xiao Jin's perception!
Although the naked eye cannot see it directly due to the smoke and concealment props, that "existence" itself cannot escape her powerful spatial perception!
"Is it some kind of high-level group concealment item?" Xiao Jin came to the conclusion instantly, his eyes icy cold.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have discovered now that this group of people had been hiding under her nose for a long time!
At this moment, in the center of the smoke, screams and the sounds of weapons clashing were already ringing out violently!
