Chapter 241: Destiny Battle (3)
(Player Name)’s (M) method of revenge was simple.
He directly placed a Temporary Resurrection Crystal under the Star Magus’s rear and then charged into the battlefield.
Claudia couldn’t stop him.
“I can resurrect!”
This was (Player Name)’s (M) reply.
At this moment, a Priest was fighting with CN Bai Zhu. The scepter, which flickered with lightning, swung with great power, and even the air whistled.
But CN Bai Zhu, the captain of the Corrupted Player, was not a captain for nothing.
The spine long spear in his hand frequently collided with the Priest’s scepter. Their movements were almost a blur, and only the continuous clanging sound of weapons clashing could be heard.
“Brother Priest, I’m here to help you!”
(Player Name) (M) roared, holding his long sword and charging forward with a suicidal slide.
CN Bai Zhu was locked in a fierce battle with the Priest.
He felt like he was wrestling with a giant bull demon on the Blood Wasteland. The Priest’s strength was even greater than that of the giant bull demon.
Was this the kind of priest from Winter City?
It would be more accurate to call him a berserker.
He was already struggling, and he heard a shout. In his peripheral vision, he saw (Player Name) (M) sliding towards him.
CN Bai Zhu cursed him for being dishonorable and forcefully parried the Priest’s scepter, intending to deal with this sneaky player, (Player Name) (M), first.
It was difficult for players to change direction when using the slide skill.
This was also a headache for all warrior players, as a poorly executed slide was no different from a wasted effort.
CN Bai Zhu knew this very well.
So, he held the spine bone spear with one hand, guarding against the Priest. While dodging, he took a large saber from his backpack and blocked the path of (Player Name) (M)’s slide.
In about a second, all he had to do was bring his saber down, and (Player Name) (M) would be sent back to the resurrection point again!
However, to his shock and anger.
(Player Name) (M) suddenly pulled out something very familiar from his chest.
A firearm!
“Bang—!”
The recoil of the firearm was indeed strong.
(Player Name) (M) did not intentionally control it, which caused his sliding speed to slow down. The bullet from the firearm poured onto CN Bai Zhu’s face.
The sudden shot sent CN Bai Zhu flying backward.
His HP bar dropped by more than half instantly.
“Well done!”
Uncle Priest gave (Player Name) (M) a thumbs-up.
To be honest, the strength of this corrupted player was quite high.
The demonic energy on him made him uncomfortable during attacks.
The transmission of strength through his body seemed to be blocked. If the fight continued, he might not be able to win.
(Player Name)’s (M) arrival was a timely rescue.
“This is a new skill I’ve developed, the perfect combination of warrior slide and dwarf technology. I call it—the Ultimate Slide Gun Combat Technique, which looks like a wasted effort but actually takes your life by surprise!”
“Do you think you’re so great just because you have dwarf firearms?”
CN Bai Zhu stubbornly got up from the ground.
This was the second time!
He vaguely remembered encountering a similar sneaky player when attacking Most City.
They had agreed to a duel to show off their marksmanship, but out of nowhere, he pulled out a firearm and shot him.
And now this again?
Could he still tolerate this!?
Fortunately, he wasn’t shot to death this time.
Although his face was in pain, his powerful recovery ability after being modified was rapidly repairing his wounds. All he had to pay was a temporary 20% decrease in his maximum HP.
CN Bai Zhu looked around. After the Star Magus joined the battle, the Corrupted Players had quickly fallen into a disadvantage.
A few intelligent ones tried to get close to the Star Magus to take down this “optical prism tower,” but the soldiers under the King of Winter were not fools. They had already formed a human wall around the Star Magus.
The tide had turned.
Now, with (Player Name) (M), this fearless troublemaker on the edge of the battlefield, the Corrupted Players had no chance of winning.
But CN Bai Zhu was not flustered at all!
He slapped his chest, and his entire chest cavity opened with a “crack,” revealing his pulsating heart and neat ribs.
He calmly pulled out one of his ribs, broke it with a “snap,” and then raised it, pointing towards the sky.
“Whoosh!” A wisp of crimson bloody mist sprayed out from the rib, soaring into the sky like a signal flare.
“You didn’t expect this, did you? Keke!”
“We Corrupted Players of the Abyss hide our signal flares in our ribs. As long as we get a chance, we can call our teammates, no matter where they are!”
CN Bai Zhu laughed ferociously and triumphantly.
However, (Player Name) (M) was puzzled by this seemingly pointless action.
He looked at CN Bai Zhu, whose HP had dropped significantly, and asked doubtfully:
“Don’t you have a team chat channel?”
“Team chat channel?” CN Bai Zhu was stunned.
He realized he hadn’t used the team chat channel in a long time.
His communication with other Corrupted Players had gradually shifted from channel chat to direct communication in Abyss language.
Even when he needed reinforcements, the first thing he thought of was not the game’s team chat channel, but the blood and flesh signal flare hidden in his rib.
How did it come to this!
Wasn’t he a player?
A strange sense of incongruity filled CN Bai Zhu with extreme terror, and he clutched his head.
He squatted on the ground and cried out in despair.
The expression on his face kept changing, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, his sharp teeth grinding together with a “creak, creak” sound.
“Keke… Wuwuwu…”
“Heehee… I know, I’m doing this to enhance the game’s immersion, to become stronger. There’s no other reason.”
CN Bai Zhu slowly stood up from the ground.
His crimson skin was still twitching slightly, and his limbs moved somewhat uncoordinatedly, like an infant who had just learned to walk.
One eye looked straight ahead normally, while the other eye frequently rolled upwards, revealing a pale white.
His lips moved up and down, seeming to cry and laugh, muttering strangely:
“I am a demon… No, no, I, I am a player… I am a player? I am a demon… Player… Player? Player… Demon…”
(Player Name) (M) and the Priest exchanged glances. They cautiously approached this seemingly abnormal Corrupted Player, their attention highly focused, and their weapons held firmly.
“Kill!”
Suddenly.
CN Bai Zhu, who was acting erratically, let out a scream.
The upward-rolling eyeball had reached its limit. Finally, his dazed pupils fixed on (Player Name)’s (M) face.
He smiled.
His mouth split open from ear to ear.
“If I kill you, I’ll know what I am… Keke… Become, become my food!!”
