Chapter 516 – ln Close Pursuit
The King's Avatar
The space between the walls had already become hell. It hadnât been easy for Wei Chenâs Warlock to escape from it. He hadnât left yet though and was on the side sneaking around like a cat.
What did it mean to have your troops defeated in a landslide of a battle? He was currently witnessing it. Two thirds of his team of 18 were instantly obliterated. Of the remaining six, two of them were close to death, while the other four were still fairly healthy. Wei Chen didnât know why, so he asked them immediately!
When he asked, he found out that they were behind the wall on the other side and were sneaking about as well! These four heard Wei Chenâs orders and went over the wall together. However, they werenât close enough and jumped a tad bit later than the others. Before the four had jumped, the rest had already been sent tumbling through the air by the enemyâs Rising Emblem. Thus, they didnât dare be too careless and circled around to find a different area to enter from. Then, they witnessed their comrades slam into the ground and get blasted to smithereens.
At that moment, they werenât sure if they should still rush over and help! Suddenly, they saw Wei Chenâs Warlock roll over and flip over the wall. The enemies even shot at his butt, so they immediately abandoned their original thought and retreated too.
âHow sad! Be careful. Make sure you donât get discovered.â Wei Chen said.
âYou should be the one who should be careful! Theyâre heading towards you.â The remaining four reminded him.
âF*ck, then hurry up and come out so you can distract them!â Wei Chen threw his previous thoughts of concern out the window.
âSh*t! Youâve got no sense of shame!!!â Even his own allies couldnât bear it anymore.
The sounds of gunfire and explosions echoed throughout Milo Ancient Ruins. Amidst the noise, Ye Xiu shouted: âOld Wei, thereâs no point hiding. Coming out and waiting for your death is your only route. Give me five hundred and I might consider letting you live.â
âYe Qiu, go kill yourself! This senior vows to fight to his death!â Wei Chen replied.
âDonât stop attacking! Donât stop attacking!â Ye Xiu reminded Chen Guo, âAs soon as this guy is out of combat, heâll log off immediately. Donât forget he has no morals.â
Boom!
A missile exploded near Wei Chenâs Warlock. Even though it didnât injure him, this type of attack would keep him locked in combat. These guys just fired randomly, making it so he couldnât escape from combat. Ye Xiu was right. As soon as his combat status cleared, he would definitely have log off without any delay.
âThink of your brothers. They sacrificed their lives for you. How can you be alright with being the only one to survive!â Ye Xiu continued to shout.
âQuiet down. You killed them all.â Wei Chen said.
âIf you hadnât ordered them to come back and save you, they might have survived. Theyâve already lost faith in you.â Ye Xiu said.
âShut up. Theyâre already on their way here.â Wei Chen responded.
âYour bluff wonât work on me. Even if you called all of Blue Brook Guild, you will still die today.â Ye Xiu said.
âYou really have incredible foresight! Blue Brook Guildâs troops are about to arrive. Not just them either. Look at the world!â Wei Chen shouted. An announcement came up on the global chat.
Windward Formation: Lord Grim in Milo Ancient Ruins. Hurry and come!
âHa ha ha, you think they can save you?â Ye Xiu looked down in disdain. Windward Formation was the name of Wei Chenâs Warlock.
âYouâve got guts not running.â Wei Chen said.
âIâll leave right after I kill you.â Ye Xiu said.
âSay it when you find me.â
âDid you really think that our attacks were randomly aimed? I already know your position. You havenât escaped from combat yet, right? So itâs not hard to figure out your position. Do you hear our footsteps? Probably not. Weâre crouching as we walk. Watch your back!â Ye Xiu suddenly raised his voice.
âYouâre going to die!!!!â Chen Guo was the one who got scared.
âItâs to scare him.â Ye Xiu said, while gestured to Chen Guo to look at his screen.
âHere?â Chen Guo whispered.
Ye Xiu nodded his head.
âShouldnât we get closer?â Chen Guo asked.
âNo need. If we get closer, heâll notice us. That spot is a good position and has good range of vision, so here is the limit.â Ye Xiu explained.
âBut even if we hit him, the distance is too far. He can still run.â Chen Guo lamented.
âWeâll take it a step at a time!â Ye Xiu wasnât in a hurry.
As a result, Chen Guo positioned her Satellite Beam towards the spot Ye Xiu indicated: a place covered in straw.
The Satellite Beam descended from the skies. However, any player with a bit of reaction speed would easily dodge an attack like this without any setup. The three saw Wei Chenâs Windward Formation come out from behind the pile of straw and quickly escape from Satellite Beamâs range.
âCancel your attack. Gatling Gun!â Ye Xiu called. His Lord Grim was already after him.
âAh......â Chen Guo felt a bit unwilling to cancel her ultimate, but she still followed his orders. She took out a Gatling Gun and fired at Windward Formation.
Windward Formationâs movements didnât look natural at all, perhaps it could even be considered a bit ugly. However, his erratic movements were effective and he dodged the bullets. This type of movements would be much slower than Lord Grim, who was running in a straight line, and the distance was quickly closed. As soon as Chasing Hazeâs firing ended, Lord Grim immediately used his own Gatling Gun. Ye Xiuâs technique was much better than Chen Guoâs. Windward Formationâs movements suddenly became even uglier and wasnât able to completely dodge all the bullets. A few of the bullets connected.
These stray bullets wouldnât do much damage, but they still affected his running speed. Wei Chen was very gloomy and shouted: âYe Qiu, do you have the guts to fight with this senior 1v1!â
âOkay, stand still. Iâll fight you 1v1.â Ye Xiu replied, but didnât stop shooting.
âPei, who would believe you.â Wei Chen spat and continued to run.
âSame to you.â Ye Xiu laughed.
Qiao Yifanâs One Inch Ash never stopped attacking. Right now, he was at the forefront and had closed in on Windward Formation. Chen Guoâs Chasing Haze was chasing him now too. Gatling Gun was a Level 20 and under skill, so it didnât have a long cooldown. If they kept on doing this, it was only a matter of time before Windward Formation was caught.
âWeâre about to catch him!â Chen Guo was very excited. She was looking forward to obliterating this immoral guy.
âHard to say.â Ye Xiu frowned.
âWhat do you mean?â Chen Guo said.
âThereâs a dungeon ahead.â Ye Xiu sighed.
âDungeon?â Chen Guo was startled and then looked ahead. Sure enough, ahead was Milo Ancient Cityâs dungeon entrance. Dungeons only had a lower bound, but no upper bound. Thus, Windward Formation could enter it. If he entered it, they wouldnât be able to chase him.
âIsnât entering this dungeon the same as dying?â Chen Guo was puzzled. Even though Milo Ancient City was a Level 55 dungeon, it was a hundred player dungeon. It wasnât something that a solo player could clear, not even a pro player. Progress could be saved in hundred player dungeons, but saving progress didnât mean one could leave the dungeon. It was similar to a pause, so one could come back when one had more time to continue progressing further.
âIf you die in a dungeon, at least you canât drop your equipment.â Ye Xiu said, âDid you not notice? His weapon is a Silver weapon!â
âReally? I really didnât notice! Where did he get it from? Did Blue Rain give it to him?â
âI donât think so. He probably made it himself. Heâs been playing for so many years, so it isnât a surprise that he has his own Silver weapon.â Ye Xiu said.
âDo you think he wanted to kill you for your Silver weapon?â Chen Guo guessed. She still couldnât accept that a former God that would actually stoop so low as to get five hundred yuan from a bounty.
âProbably not. Five hundred yuan is just a cherry on top. Heâs mainly playing to have fun.â Ye XIu said.
â......â Chen Guo was somewhat speechless, but she could feel it. Wei Chen was cursing and fighting Ye Xiu, but he wasnât actually angry. It was like sparring with an old friend. The two mocked each other and trash talked for fun.
However, their trash talking went beyond what Chen Guo could bear. Wei Chen was truly too immoral. Even Ye Xiu had his limits. In any case, Chen Guo didnât dare be certain. Ye Xiu making her cough blood in anger over and over again was already enough.
âSenior, I donât think weâll be able to catch him.â Qiao Yifan had good judgement. After hearing Ye Xiuâs intent, he calculated their speed and Wei Chenâs speed and made a guess.
If they had reached this conclusion, Wei Chen naturally would have too and laughed in glee: âIf you want to kill this senior, youâre still too green.â
âGive your mouse to me!â At this moment, Ye Xiu suddenly spoke to Chen Guo.
Chen Guo was slightly startled, but having experienced this before, she quickly handed the mouse over to Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu took it and began controlling Chasing Haze to use Gatling Gun.
The bullets flew out and Wei Chen hastily tried to dodge them. A few of the bullets hit and caused Windward Formation to stumble a few steps.
Wei Chen was alarmed. There were still more bullets coming at him. He tried dodging again, but got hit by another bullet.
If he were a normal person, he wouldnât have been able to react so quickly. However, Wei Chen immediately understood what was going on and cursed: âYe Qiu, you shameless b*stard. Youâre even using such methods! Whereâs your spirit of fairness?â
âThen stand still. Iâll fight you one one one.â Ye Xiu said.
âPtui!â Wei Chen spat. He clearly didnât trust Ye Xiu at all. However, with Ye Xiu helping Chen Guo, the Gatling Gunâs effects were extremely different. In addition, her level was higher, so the effects from Chasing Hazeâs Gatling Gun were much greater than Lord Grimâs. Qiao Yifanâs eyes lit up and he recalculated it. He wouldnât have thought of doing such a thing.
One Inch Ash grew closer and closer and Chasing Hazeâs firing became more and more dense. Lord Grim began firing with Chasing Haze.
âOkay, hit him with anything you want!â With this done, Ye Xiu handed the mouse back to Chen Guo and immediately began controlling Lord Grim again. Lord Grim followed up with the suppressing fire. They finally caught up to Windward Formation.
âSlash!â Ye Xiu shouted and pounced on Windward Formation along with One Inch Ash.
