Ye Miao unleashed two rounds of Shadowless Sword, and the Frost Giant's health bar steadily dwindled. The other two Frost Giants clumsily tried to help their companion, but their agility was too low, and Ye Miao easily dodged their attacks.

In other words, all damage in the game world is reflected in health, and the effects of injury are not displayed in detail. Otherwise, Ye Miao's attack method of slashing at the top of the Frost Giant's head would be too bloody to watch.

When the Shadowless Sword was used for the third round, the word "Rage" popped up above the head of the Frost Giant. In layman's terms, it was angry and so angry that it had lost its mind.

Ye Miao made a quick decision and jumped off the frost giant and ran towards the orchard.

The Frost Giant, enraged, stopped attacking the barrier and roared as he chased Ye Miao. The other two companions also followed, and Ye Miao suddenly felt relieved.

Leading them to a place farther away from the camp and killing them can ensure that the camp is not accidentally injured to the greatest extent possible.

A few meters away, Xu Wu sent a message in the settlement channel: Go!

Dozens of figures jumped out and chased towards Ye Miao in the night.

In a cave halfway up the mountain, Yi Hang, commanding a commanding presence, took in everything. He was stunned by the scene. "Are there other players offering help? So, can we retreat now?"

However, before he finished speaking——

"Vine entanglement!" A ranged mage was the first to activate the skill. The magic wand seemed to know what its owner was thinking. Several vines shot out quickly, but accurately avoided the frost giant and hit Ye Miao directly.

"?!" Ye Miao, who was running in front, was about to launch another round of Shadowless Sword skills at the Frost Giant. When he turned around, his speed slowed down and he was unable to dodge in time. The tip of the vine had already touched his calf.

In the blink of an eye, his legs were wrapped by vines and firmly tied to the ground!

The next moment, darts and arrows arrived. Ye Miao crossed her arms to block them, relying on her high health and defense to withstand the attack. Before the next wave of attacks arrived, she swung her injured sword, cut through the vines, and dodged behind a tree.

In the camp, everyone was looking from behind the fence, but they were too far away and the woods were too dark to see anything.

"Burning Fire!" The melee mage unleashed a skill at the bushes where Ye Miao was hiding, sending a fireball careening towards him. Ye Miao leaped just in time, nimbly rolling through the grass to avoid the attack. Pulling himself up, he saw the bushes he had just hidden behind were engulfed in flames, like a giant torch.

"It's not helping, it's hunting!" As Chu Cheng spoke, he had already jumped down from halfway up the mountain.

"No!" Fang Yuming in the camp reacted at the same time as he saw the flames and immediately rushed out.

"Hey!" Tan Kening wanted to call him, but before he could speak, the man had already run away.

The orchard was in chaos.

It was dark at night, and it was not easy to find humans hiding in the grass. Ye Miao was particularly small, and the Frost Giant could not find her. He was so angry that he rushed around among the trees, making a mess all around.

The people of the Fearless Settlement were also searching for Ye Miao, but at the same time they had to avoid the mad frost giants. For a moment, their skills flew wildly, interweaving in a colorful array.

Ye Miao leaned against a huge rock and gasped for breath, his mind confused: What's going on?

Xu Wu stood in the open space and sneered, "Why are you hiding? If you have the guts, come out and fight to the death!"

Ye Miao heard the voice: "Who are you? Why should I come out to fight you to the death?!"

Xu Wu: "You have to pay for what you have done! You have to pay your debts, and you have to pay for your murder!"

When Ye Miao heard this, his eyes froze.

She admitted that she hadn't done anything bad since crossing over. But it was the end of the world after all, and the situation was complicated. She had killed so many players... sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety...

But whose people are coming for revenge now?

Who cares!

Ye Miao carefully looked in the direction where the sound came from, and seeing that Xu Wu was not far away, he walked out from behind the stone with confidence.

Xu Wu is also an assassin. When she was shouting just now, she had three poison darts in her hand. When she appeared, she turned her wrist and the poison darts came out at once!

"Be careful!" Chu Cheng, who was rushing over, whispered.

Seeing the poison dart wrapped in a gust of wind rushing towards Ye Miao at a high speed, at the critical moment, two figures exactly like her suddenly appeared beside Ye Miao, and walked towards Xu Wu calmly with her.

"Exchange with the left side." Ye Miao muttered in her heart, and the phantom on the left immediately and silently switched positions with her, enduring the damage of the three poison darts.

She smiled at the shocked beautiful face and continued to move forward step by step. With each step, two more phantoms appeared, until all 12 phantoms appeared. Ye Miao stopped and raised the sword with both hands: "Shadowless Sword!"

Thirteen figures shot out like the wind. The other players who had been about to attack upon seeing her appearance were caught off guard and had no choice but to stand still and take a defensive stance.

Xu Wu was quite calm. She quickly realized that although many figures appeared to be casting skills, they were not actually causing damage. She shouted, "Don't panic! They are illusions. Only one is real!"

"Hee." Ye Miao chuckled, using the speed of her Shadowless Sword skill to quickly run towards Xu Wu. The 12 phantoms sensed her intention and instantly surrounded her. Thirteen shadows surrounded Xu Wu at close range, each with a matching smile. "Then guess which one is real?"

"Fuck you—" The scene was as terrifying as a nightmare. Xu Wu collapsed in fear, her flaming red lips unable to maintain her composure. A scream nearly broke her voice, and then she watched the circle of figures disappear in an instant. "Are you scared already? I'm not even in trouble!" Ye Miao said with a charming smile.

"Ye Miao!" Fang Yuming rushed over and saw this scene. He subconsciously braked, his face full of horror, "What the hell?!"

At that moment, he wanted to ask like Tan Kening once did: What is that thing?!

Fortunately, the skill only lasted 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the phantom disappeared, and the players, whose scalps were tingling, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the players, having escaped the horrific scene, suddenly woke up, feeling inexplicably humiliated, and immediately rushed forward without hesitation. Ye Miao, having already understood the situation, calmed down. He dodged several attacks, using his heavy armor to withstand the ones he couldn't avoid, and slashed and stabbed with his two swords, splashing blood everywhere.

The battlefield was too lively, and the Frost Giant quickly noticed Ye Miao and strode over with a roar.

The ground was shaken violently in an instant. Ye Miao glanced at it and was thinking quickly about how to deal with attacks from both sides at the same time. Several feather arrows flew towards the frost giant with a sound, and a familiar wall of fire suddenly rose up.

"We will hold back the Frost Giant, you settle your personal grudge first!" Chu Cheng said as he fought against the Frost Giant. The five-man team cooperated well, and the Frost Giant was held back, helpless and furious in the flames.

Ye Miao only noticed Chu Cheng at this moment, and her heart sank: It's over, I've been exposed...

But in the matter of Yin Zhenhui, she really didn't pretend to be weak on purpose!

Then Ye Miao simply started to make a desperate move: "If it's convenient, let's kill the Frost Giant together first, and then I will settle the personal grudge!"

Chu Cheng laughed: "That's fine!"

Upon receiving a positive response, Ye Miao immediately broke free from the Dreadnoughts' siege and charged towards the Frost Giant. Seeing this, Chu Cheng's four teammates understood and turned to delay the Dreadnoughts. Fang Yuming also quickly assessed the situation and coordinated with Yi Hang and the others.

Chu Cheng and Ye Miao jumped up one after another. The two figures jumped to the same height at the same time under the moonlight. Ye Miao flew up and stabbed the frost giant's chest with a sword. Chu Cheng pulled the bow steadily and aimed at the frost giant's throat.

Hitting the vital points will cause higher damage. As the two people landed, numbers popped up above the Frost Giant's head:

【-3200】

-5500

Although the Frost Giant's defense is ridiculously high and it is afraid of fire skills, Chu Cheng's fire arrows cause extremely high damage.

Ye Miao's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Great, come again!"

The same attack method was used again, and the frost giant in front of him had his health bar emptied and fell to the ground with a bang.

Then, before Ye Miao could say anything, Chu Cheng had already turned to the second frost giant. This time, he didn't bother jumping anymore. He just raised his head and shot an arrow at his face.

-4700

Ye Miao suddenly had an idea, curled his lips, and rushed over while the Frost Giant was roaring in pain, and swept the Frost Giant's ankle.

In the normal world, an ant trying to trip an elephant would be illogical. But in the game world, fighting ability is the only thing that matters. Ye Miao's kick was judged successful by the system, just as he had guessed. The Frost Giant was instantly knocked down, falling uncontrollably on his back.

There seemed to be a unique tacit understanding between high-level players. Chu Cheng jumped onto the giant without thinking, and before the giant could get up, he shot three arrows in a row.

-5000

【-4200】

【-4900】

The second frost giant died suddenly.

The remaining frost giant roared to the sky, its wail shaking the heavens and earth, and raised its fist to smash at Chu Cheng! Chu Cheng glanced around and quickly rolled to avoid the blows, but the enraged frost giant smashed down again and again, each blow creating a huge crater in the ground.

Ye Miao was startled and immediately used her Shadowless Sword skill to try to distract the Frost Giant. But the Frost Giant ignored her. She cast "Overlapping Reality" again, waving twelve phantoms in front of the Frost Giant, but to no avail.

Before he knew it, Chu Cheng was blocked by a tree trunk lying on the ground.

"Roar--" The frost giant roared again, and suddenly several ice spikes appeared in his hands. He threw them with all his strength and stabbed them towards Chu Cheng!

"Be careful!" Ye Miao shouted - at the critical moment, she had no time to think, and subconsciously cast the Shadowless Sword again, using the skill speed to block in front of Chu Cheng, crossing her arms in front of her face, in a blocking posture.

"Swish, swish, swish——" Ten ice spikes hit Ye Miao one after another. Ye Miao saw his health bar dropping rapidly, and the numbers above his head kept jumping:

-1200

-1800

-1000

-1400

…

The health points of 20,000 were reduced to less than 5,000 in an instant. Ye Miao felt dizzy and was about to touch his backpack to drink medicine when the wind suddenly blew up behind him!

Chu Cheng attacked the frost giant fiercely. With the help of an inexplicable anger, his shooting speed suddenly increased. He shot seven or eight arrows in succession between jumping up and landing. Two of the arrows hit the giant's throat, and the remaining arrows also caused varying degrees of damage.

The last arrow hit the knee. Although the damage was only 800, it just cleared the remaining health bar of the giant. The giant roared unwillingly, then exploded and disappeared, and the rewards were scattered all over the ground.

System pop-up message:

[Rewards being settled...]

[A total of 51 items were dropped. Player Ye Miao caused 23% of the damage and can choose 12 items as rewards.]

Correspondingly, it goes without saying that Chu Cheng caused as much as 78% of the damage, and he can get 39 items as rewards.

Since crossing over, Ye Miao has possessed overwhelming combat power in this world, and never before has the damage ratio inflicted been so low. But the system's calculations were clearly correct, as Chu Cheng had almost killed the last Frost Giant himself. The damage dealt to the first two Frost Giants was easily higher than Ye Miao's, as Chu Cheng's fire arrows perfectly targeted the Frost Giants' weaknesses.

Even without mentioning these, if it weren't for the other team members holding back the players who came to seek revenge for her, she would definitely not have been able to kill the Frost Giant so easily.

So Ye Miao had no objection to the system's distribution method. He was about to walk towards the dropped items when he heard Chu Cheng say, "You get 26, and the remaining 25 are for me."

Ye Miao paused and looked sideways at him.

Chu Cheng smiled faintly: "The archer's health and defense are not high. If you don't block that wave of ice spikes, I will die."

"Oh." Ye Miao felt that it made sense and nodded subconsciously.

The system sensed the player's intention and immediately prompted the two people again:

[Are you sure you want to change the reward settlement ratio to 51% (your side); 49% (the other side)? ]

[Are you sure you want to change the reward settlement ratio to 49% (your side); 51% (the other side)? ]

Since they have no friendship relationship with each other, the system considerately does not display the names, but replaces them with "our side" and "the other side".

Chu Cheng and Ye Miao pressed "yes" in succession, and then went to choose their rewards. This time, the drop was unexpectedly lucky, with two gold cards dropping. Ye Miao was about to check the details when Chu Cheng asked nonchalantly, "Should I give you all the gold coins?"

"Okay..." Ye Miao agreed absentmindedly, but suddenly realized something was wrong. He choked and almost bit his tongue.

Finished—exposed*2!

She turned to look at Chu Cheng, her face flushing and then pale, wondering how she had revealed herself again. Chu Cheng sneered, his gaze shifting downwards to her equipment. "Night Devil Heavy Armor. It seems a Night Devil appeared on the map of City T."

Ye Miao: “…”

"Also, just now, whether it was the Frost Giant or the players attacking you, they would lose health as long as they got close enough. If I remember correctly, I think I lost a passive skill when I fought the Night Demon... What was it called?"

"[Nightmare Invasion]." Ye Miao simply admitted it, easing the inexplicable embarrassment and sighing, "Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." Chu Cheng smiled and also walked closer to the gold card, checking the panel with Ye Miao.

【Icicle Throw】

【Quality: Gold】

Description: Skill. Depending on level and attributes, this skill consumes mana to hurl 1-15 ice spikes at the enemy. The ice spikes automatically target targets within 3 meters, dealing 500-2000 damage and freezing them for 1-3 seconds. Active skills cannot be cast while the freezing effect is active, but passive skills remain active.

【Heavy Attack】

【Quality: Gold】

[Description: Skill. Slams the ground with a heavy punch, dealing area damage. Consumes 12% of maximum stamina, inflicts 30%-300% of attack damage to targets within 10 meters (damage decreases with distance), and stuns them for 3 seconds.]

One for ranged damage, one for melee damage, both of them are very satisfied.

Ye Miao: "I want to [Strike Hard]."

Chu Cheng: "I want [Ice Spike Throw]."

Then there were some scattered rewards, which the two of them picked and chose and divided up quickly.

Finally, after putting the 3600+ gold coins into his backpack, Ye Miao suddenly realized that he seemed to have enemies. He turned around and saw that there was nothing behind him.

"...Where are those people? Are they done fighting?" She was speechless.

Yi Hang, who had been waiting, leaning against a tree with his arms folded, bored, tutted his tongue. "When you took down the first frost giant, they were startled and watched you take down the second one in a daze. When the third one was killed, they finally realized what was happening and ran away faster than rabbits."

Ye Miao asked again: "Who are they?"

Yi Hang was helpless: "It seems like I'm looking for you, you ask me?"

"They're from the Fearless Sanctuary." Fang Yuming stood in the shade of a tree. The night grew darker there, and it was hard to make out his expression. "I once joined the Fearless Sanctuary for a few days. Then one night, their founder, Wu Wei, led his men to attack your territory. You killed them instantly, and that's how we became enemies. I joined your territory the day after that incident."

"Oh..." Ye Miao suddenly realized.

Although she had killed more than one person, she still remembered the attack on the shelter vividly. Furthermore, Fang Yuming's mention of the time he joined the group allowed her to pinpoint the exact identity of the attacker.

Fang Yuming raised his eyes and looked at her seriously.

When high-level players were killing monsters, it was common knowledge that those with lower levels who tried to help would likely hinder their progress. So, when he saw her and Chu Cheng charging towards the Frost Giant, he had the good sense to join Yi Hang and the others in their fight against Fearless.

But now, seeing Ye Miao and Chu Cheng standing side by side, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Unable to explain clearly, Fang Yuming could only shake his head and ignore it, saying, "They may seek revenge again in the future. I suggest you prepare early."

"I understand." Ye Miao agreed after thinking it over, but he didn't plan to go chasing tonight. Instead, he invited Chu Cheng's team: "Our camp is right next to us, why don't you come over and sit down?"

"Okay." Chu Cheng agreed.

After a fierce battle, the five-member team suffered injuries to varying degrees, their physical strength declined significantly, and they needed to rest well.

Ye Miao quickly set them up as "camp visitors" so they could enter the camp together, then led them back. Without exception, the campers gathered at the gate, staring. When they vaguely saw a figure emerging from the woods, everyone subconsciously held their breath, and the air became stagnant. Then, the moment they saw Ye Miao clearly, the crowd erupted in cheers!

"We won!!!" Lu Weiwei and Su Xinran hugged each other excitedly.

Zhang Xu and Sun Chen high-fived each other, with expressions of joy written all over their faces.

He Kailai's response was more practical: "I'll go make some food to nourish the boss!"

Hu Hao took the opportunity to say, "Let's have a celebration banquet!"

This suggestion immediately resonated with everyone, and everyone got busy. Especially the players who usually sold snacks in the small market, without waiting for Ye Miao's response, they ran back home to find ingredients.

"...I can't refuse such a kind offer." Ye Miao smiled apologetically at Chu Cheng, "If you want to rest first, I'll tell everyone."

Chu Cheng shook his head: "It's okay, it's better to eat something first."

Yi Hang looked at the camp in front of him with a dazed look in his eyes.

Like many camps, a bonfire burned in the open space in the center. Resting by it would speed up stamina recovery. A dozen meters behind the camp was the reception hall, and beyond that was the warehouse. To the left and right were four charming little houses, all the same shape but with different colors, making it impossible to tell what they were used for.

In addition to these, there are various residences, with thatched houses being the most common, some wooden houses, and only a few stone houses.

There didn't seem to be anything special about this camp, but Yi Hang felt that it seemed different from other camps he had seen before.

Ye Miao invited them to sit by the campfire. Yi Hang drank orange juice while watching the members busy preparing various foods in the small market. Suddenly, he realized, "The relationship between the members of your camp is quite harmonious, isn't it?"

"Yes." Ye Miao responded calmly.

Yi Hang was curious and asked his friends to join him for a stroll around the area. The other three were also curious about the camp and followed Yi Hang, but Chu Cheng didn't move.

After the four of them walked away, Chu Cheng pondered, "Can I ask a question?"

Ye Miao: "Are you wondering why I didn't fight back when I was beaten near the hillside last time?"

"...Yes." Chu Cheng laughed. Ye Miao said helplessly, "I was tricked into drinking a trick potion. I can't cast any skills and I can't move. It lasts for five minutes, just enough time for you to catch up."

Chu Cheng suddenly realized.

Ye Miao added: "I also have a question."

Chu Cheng: "What?"

"Why didn't you just kill the Night Demon last time and the Frost Giant this time? Killing these boss monsters directly can protect the younger players and get the equipment at the same time, how great is that?"

"That's easy to say." Chu Cheng sneered. "Our weaknesses are too obvious. Five of us are archers, with no healer or tank, and our health is very low. If we force a close-range attack on bosses like the Night Demon and the Frost Giant, we could be killed by a single hit. But if we maintain a ranged attack, the damage of the arrows will be reduced, making it difficult to kill such monsters with thick health."

"So that's how it is." Ye Miao understood.

In fact, she understood as soon as Chu Cheng started talking - the whole team is made up of archers, this team configuration is really extreme!

There is a small market not far away.

The equipment in the game has its owner and there is no need to worry about it being stolen, so most of the vendors who set up stalls to do business simply put their kitchen utensils in the market, and then get the ingredients from home and go straight to the market to get busy.

When Yi Hang and his companions passed by, the market was bustling with activity. The four of them looked around, and Yi Hang unexpectedly noticed a cotton candy stall. He was stunned by the price on the wooden sign and asked, "Excuse me...how much does 5 gold coins cost for a cotton candy?"

"One, what else?" The cotton candy stall owner was a middle-aged woman. She was puzzled by the question, but after thinking for a moment, she smiled and waved her hand carelessly, "You guys go and have a rest. I'll bring it to you later. The celebration party is free!"

"No..." Yi Hang was speechless, "Do you usually sell it at this price?"

"What else?" the woman said, "This is a white snack. It only restores some mana after eating it, and it can't be used in battle. Just buy it as a snack to satisfy your cravings. If you want something more expensive and effective..." The woman looked around and pointed at He Kailai. "Look, Chef He just unlocked Kung Pao Chicken. It's purple quality, restores a lot of health and mana, and costs 90 gold per serving!"

"Purple quality sold for 90?!" Yi Hang became confused.

"...Are you thinking it's too expensive or too cheap?" the middle-aged woman laughed innocently. "Actually, I was hiding in my basement for a few days, eating my stored food. Then my cousin came over, and I dared to go out with him to check it out. I don't know much about the game, but I saw they all said 90 gold wasn't expensive. If you think it's too much, why don't you try to bargain with him?"

Yi Hang: “…”

Someone actually suggested that he bargain?!

Is there something wrong with this camp? Is he in the same game world as me?!

However, his teammates were clearly more mobile than he was. Upon hearing this, Shen Ruhuan walked towards He Kailai's stall, rubbing his hands with saliva dripping from his mouth. "Purple quality, 90 per piece?"

He Kailai had just finished cooking one and laughed, "I can see that you guys were helping our boss fight monsters just now." He then took a plate and put the Kung Pao Chicken on it and handed it to Shen Ruhuan, "The rice isn't done yet, wait a moment."

The author has something to say:

Chu Cheng: Ah, a melee master with considerable abilities, I admire him.

Team member: Ah, delicious food at a reasonable price. Appreciate it.

===

I read the comments and found that some people don’t understand why Chu Cheng’s fighting power is so high.

Because when the end of the world just came, there was a wave of skills calculated according to the original specialties.

Chu Cheng is an Olympic champion. As an archer, he is a full-level archer. Taking into account the attribute restraint, the output is higher.

I'll give out red envelopes to 50 random comments on this chapter.
