Chapter 392: Chivalrous Act, Killing Tactics
Chapter 392: Chivalrous Act, Killing Tactics
Just when Xiao Jie and others were setting up their battle formation and preparing to fight the final BOSS, Hao Mie and a few others also chased Lao Wu Yun Zhongke and rushed into the main camp where the Juyi Hall was located.
"Hurry, stop the pursuers behind us!" Wu Tong, the guest from Yunzhong, shouted to the bandits guarding the main camp while rushing into the Juyi Hall. There were five small camps in Black Wind Mountain, the largest of which was Li Gun's camp, which was also the location of the Juyi Hall.
The families of the five people were settled here.
Although the main force of the bandits had been killed, there were still some guarding minions left here, and they still had some combat power.
In addition to family members and bandits, there were also many civilians imprisoned in the dungeon here, all of whom were hostages kidnapped from various villages.
Seeing Wu Tong rushing into the back house, the families of the five people all came over.
"Fifth brother, what's going on outside? Where's your eldest brother?"
"The village is about to be broken. My eldest brother is leading people to stop those who are returning home. He asked me to take you away first. Sisters-in-law, take your children and follow me down the mountain."
All the wives of the bandits cried out in surprise.
Just as I was panicking, a scream suddenly came from outside.
Wu Tong's face changed. Oh no! Those returning people are coming to kill us.
Then I saw a bandit covered in blood rushing in.
"It's bad, Wuzhai Lord. Those returning people are very fierce. My brothers can't resist them and are almost dead."
Wu Tong's face suddenly changed. It came so quickly?
But the elder sister-in-law was also sensible.
He said decisively: "Fifth brother, you should take the children and go by yourself. Don't let us drag you down."
Then he called out a few children and brought them to Wu Tong.
Wu Tong felt heartbroken, but she also knew that this was not the time to be pretentious. She certainly couldn't take her family with her, but the children were relatively small and could be put in a backpack and taken away.
"Sister-in-law, I will definitely live up to your trust."
As he spoke, he grabbed one and stuffed it into the bag. He then grabbed another and did the same thing. In the blink of an eye, all five children were in the backpack.
Ah, two more screams were heard outside, getting closer and closer.
Wu Tong's face changed drastically, he turned around and saw Haomie, Xiayi Wushuang, Yeluo and others, with a dozen masters of Qinggong, killing their way in. The bandits in the yard rushed up and were killed in an instant, with their corpses strewn all over the ground.
Now even he couldn't leave.
"What should we do, Wuzhaizhu?"
"Drag up all the hostages from the dungeon, and bring in the kerosene and gunpowder, quickly!"
Several minions went there in a hurry.
When the three Xiayi Wushuang rushed in with a dozen players, they saw a shocking scene.
The hall was filled with kerosene barrels and gunpowder barrels. A large group of NPC civilians were tied up and tied to pillars. Between the wall pillars, Yunzhongke Wu Tong was holding a torch in his hand with his eyes wide open.
"Stop right there! If you dare to take another step forward, I will throw a torch and burn you all together."
Several people looked at each other in surprise.
How could such a plot be triggered?
Haomie said: "Well, then just throw it away."
Ye Luo also smiled and said, "That's right, it saves us from having to work so hard."
"Light the fire! Let's make a big scene!" everyone started to cheer.
Wu Tong was incredulous. "You guys better think about it. These are all innocent people. You... aren't you here to save them?"
Haomie was speechless and laughed for a moment, these are all NPCs, not real people, so what if they all died, at least they can gain some popularity points, anyway, as long as the Black Wind Mountain is razed, the mission is completed, this thing can only be used to get some rewards.
"Just throw it away quickly. I'm telling you, are you going to waste your time?"
"How about we help you throw it?"
Ye Luo said as he took out a gunpowder pot.
Haojie said, "Good idea." He also took out one.
"Stop!" Xia Yi Wushuang suddenly shouted.
Everyone was stunned. Although they didn't know why Xia Yi Wushuang shouted to stop, they all stopped anyway.
Xia Yi Wushuang said sternly: "Black Wind Mountain has committed many evils, and it deserves this disaster. If you really have the ability, you can just fight your way out. Why are you so vicious and drag these innocent people to be buried with you? You are really not a hero."
Wu Tong thought that someone who could speak human language had finally arrived. "I was entrusted by my eldest brother to take the flesh and blood of the brothers away. If you are willing to make way for me to leave, these meat tickets will be given to you.
If you don't let me go, then we'll die together."
Xia Yi Wushuang pondered for a moment and said, "We will not let you go. How about this, we have a bet, one on one. If you win, I will let you take your people away. If you lose, then just accept your fate. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you must not harm these people."
"Who are you? How can I trust you?"
"The heroes of the group will be unrivaled in chivalry."
"So you are a hero of the Heroes' Association. Well, if you are willing to swear to the heavens and take the oath of divine punishment, I will believe you."
Haomie and Yeluo were both shocked.
Haomie hurriedly said, "Brother Xiayi, are you sure? This guy is a BOSS. It's very dangerous to fight him alone."
Although it is 35 vs. 25, and there is a big level advantage, the BOSS is still the BOSS after all and should not be underestimated.
Ye Luo also said: "That's right, they are just a group of NPCs, if they die, they die."
Xia Yi Wushuang said righteously: "No, these are innocent people. I have been a chivalrous man all my life, and what I pursue is to punish the strong and help the weak. How can I let so many innocent people die tragically?
I can't let this evil man who has committed so many crimes get away. The only option now is to have a duel with him and make him die with a guilty conscience. Don't interfere in this matter. I will handle it.
"I, Wu Tong, the guest in the clouds, swear to the heavens that as long as you are willing to release these people, I will fight you fairly. If you win, I will let you take your people away. Even if you lose, I will never harm these women and children. I will register them as ordinary citizens from now on. If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
【System prompt: You have issued a [Divine Punishment Oath].
Xia Yi Wushuang was certainly not crazy, he just wanted to unlock the true attributes of the Demon-Slaying Sword. Xiao Jie had previously told him that he needed to gain the Demon-Slaying Sword's recognition through chivalrous acts, and Xia Yi Wushuang agreed very much, but these days he was killing bandits and recruiting refugees, and the Demon-Slaying Sword had no attributes at all.
Obviously, this ordinary behavior of killing monsters and completing tasks cannot be called a chivalrous act, otherwise ordinary players would all be recognized by the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Only by doing extraordinary things, preferably some chivalrous deeds that test life and death, can you have a chance of success.
Right now is the best time to prove yourself.
Seeing the unparalleled chivalrous man swearing a vow, the guest in the clouds also showed admiration.
"What a chivalrous man! In that case, I will let these people go." After saying that, he swung his hand suddenly, and more than a dozen flying knives shot out, cutting all the ropes of the people with one move.
This hidden weapon skill made all the players' faces change.
Wow, that’s pretty impressive.
He remained calm, holding the Dragon Tooth Knife in his left hand and the Demon-Slaying Sword in his right hand, and shouted, "Come on!"
Boom! A figure fell from the sky and landed heavily on the cliff. It was Li Gun who flew back from the bottom of the mountain.
Falling from the top of the mountain cost him several hundred HP, plus the damage he suffered before, his HP was still around 4000.
Li rolled down the cliff and looked at the corpses of bandits scattered all around him, especially the bodies of his brothers who had been chopped to pieces. His face suddenly distorted.
“Second brother, third brother, fourth brother! No——!”
He suddenly looked at the enemy in front of him. At this moment, Xiao Jie had already led the players to form a triangular formation specifically for dealing with the BOSS.
The one standing at the front was him who had transformed back into human form. The other players were arranged in echelons according to their positions and lined up in the back.
Although the dragon form is powerful, it is too large and not flexible enough. Moreover, when acting as the front row to resist the BOSS, it is easy to block the line of sight and shooting of the long-range back row and be accidentally injured by teammates.
Therefore, Xiao Jie simply changed back into human form.
Of course the most important reason is that he has a tactic that he has been planning for a long time, and this time he is ready to give it a try.
This tactic was originally prepared for Hong Chen, but now that we have encountered a tough guy like Li Gun, we can practice it in advance.
"You...are all...going to die."
Li Gun roared and pounced towards Xiao Jie who was closest to him.
"Everyone get ready!" Xiao Jie yelled, concentrating his mind to the extreme. The moment Li Gun appeared in front of him -
Secret - disillusionment!
Swish, the time-stop field spread out instantly, even a powerful mutant giant monster like Li Gun was instantly frozen.
"--attack!"
The people who were on high alert at the back attacked at the same time. The twenty or thirty people in the front were all masters who were able to release ultimate skills. At this time, all kinds of ultimate skills were madly bombarded towards the immobilized BOSS.
The second row is composed of various magic professions, and they cast various spells.
In an instant, all kinds of sword energy, qi fluctuations, thunder and fireballs all blasted into the time-stop field. Qi spells of various colors all overlapped together, forming a large colorful halo.
The hundred or so people behind were frantically firing bows and arrows and hidden weapons into the time-stop area.
As soon as the dense arrows and hidden weapons entered the time-stop field, they were all frozen in mid-air, like a dense wall of sharp blades.
At this moment, Xiao Jie, in the instant of using his secret technique, leaped into the air with a light skill.
At the moment when the time stop ended, he didn't want to stand in front of the BOSS...
This was the killing formation Xiao Jie had thought of. He would launch as many long-range attacks as possible within the five seconds after pinning the target, and then let the target be hit by countless attacks at the moment the time stop ended. As long as the opponent failed to dodge, he could be killed with one blow no matter how much health he had.
Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and at the moment when the time stop ended——
Boom boom boom, puff puff puff! The dense explosion sounds rang out in an instant.
Because they were too dense, all the sounds formed a strange noise. The sword winds, sword energy, energy fluctuations, fireballs and lightning, arrows and hidden weapons... all fell on Li Gun in an instant.
Countless red words appeared in an instant, and the huge impact force blasted him backwards.
The majestic body was shattered by various attacks and shot into a hedgehog by countless arrows. There were so many arrows and hidden weapons that they completely covered the surface of his body, making it impossible to see his real body.
Haha, this trick really works! Xiao Jie felt relieved.
Even Master Hongchen would not be able to resist such a fatal tactic.
The only problem with this tactic is that it requires too many people, and a very good shooting formation must be set up to allow the participants to output as much firepower as possible. Fortunately, as the regiment commander, manpower is not a problem. The only problem is the terrain and formation.
Today's formation is unique and the results are quite satisfactory.
But - why is there no system prompt?
A trace of doubt flashed through Xiao Jie's mind.
"Big Orange, go up and take a look."
"Yes, master." The big orange cat whined and walked towards the 'hedgehog' covered with arrows on the ground.
At this moment, Li Gun was already on the verge of death. The previous wave of attacks almost tore him to pieces. He was only able to keep his breath thanks to his strong body after being transformed into a monster.
But even so, he has already entered a near-death state.
(It’s over… It’s over… I, Li Gun, will die here today, along with my brothers. I won’t accept this!)
Li Gun was thinking in despair and anger in his heart. At this moment of death, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
(Do you want to live, do you want revenge, do you want to take back everything you lost, do you want to gain real power?)
(I think, I think, I think!) Li Gun shouted silently in his heart.
The voice sounded again without any emotion, (Offer your soul, give your flesh and blood, accept my will, I will give you everything you want, are you willing?)
Li Gun's heart sank, he knew that if he agreed, Yongjie would be gone.
But the unwillingness in his heart made him desperate.
(I—will—do!)
At the moment when he silently recited the three words in his heart, a huge scarlet eye appeared out of thin air in the darkness in front of Li Gun. The huge eyeball covered everything, and countless blood vessels spread along the pupil to the surroundings. The eyeball was motionless, but it made him feel like he was being stared at.
Countless thoughts suddenly popped up in my mind: fear, regret, despair, relief, warmth, bliss...
He seemed to have returned to his mother's womb before he was born, wandering in the warm amniotic fluid. In that familiar warmth, there was no pain or anger, only peace and comfort, until his consciousness completely disappeared.
And in reality.
Daju suddenly stopped and arched his back vigilantly.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jie asked curiously. This big orange boy was fearless, so why did he suddenly look so nervous?
"Master, that thing——"
[System prompt: Kill all the leaders of Black Wind Village, the Black Wind Mountain forces have been completely wiped out, and the territory mission [Battle of Black Wind Mountain] has been completed.
Your reputation in Luoyang Town has increased by 4000 points and is now worshipped.
Your reputation in Fengyin State has increased by 2000 points and is now Revered.
The popularity of Longxiang Country has increased and is now 85%...】
Oh, we won already?
Xiao Jie felt relieved, yet a little surprised.
He walked forward with some uncertainty. Li Gun's body gradually turned into pus and blood. However, a red light flashed in the corpse.
No one else noticed, but Xiao Jie looked at it carefully. The red light was extremely familiar. Was it a substitution?
He got closer and saw a huge hole in Li Gun's abdomen, which was gradually filling up with pus and blood. The huge scarlet eye that should have been there had disappeared.
