court.
Liu Ji, who was burning all over, stood up again. He swung the huge flaming bone hammer and smashed it towards Tang Erda. Tang Erda stepped back to avoid it, but was still hit by the edge of his coat. Thinking of what Wang Shun had reminded them, that if they were touched by the flames on Liu Ji's body, their health would continue to burn, Tang Erda took off his coat without hesitation.
The spark that just touched the edge of the coat instantly devoured the entire coat, leaving only ashes.
Mu Sicheng clenched his teeth when he saw the battle between Tang Er and Tang Er. He took a step and disappeared instantly. The next second, he almost teleported behind Phoebe, with bloodshot eyes, he raised his monkey paw high and slashed it hard at the back of Phoebe's neck.
Phoebe raised her hand without looking back. The skeleton armor wrapped her whole body in the blink of an eye. The girl's clear voice came from the armor: "I told you, no matter how fast you are, it's useless in front of my skeleton armor."
"Just like the lips of a dead person are the best keeper of secrets." Phoebe's green eyes looked at Mu Sicheng through the gaps in the bones, "The bones of a dead person are also the most stringent protective layer."
Mu Sicheng's sharp outstretched claws grabbed the skull, making a harsh friction sound. He gritted his teeth unwillingly, glared at it and continued to press down, and the bones of the monkey's claws made a crisp crackling sound.
Damn! This thing is too hard! No matter how fast I attack, I can't break it!
This guy is too invulnerable, and this skill is too buggy! Is there such a ridiculous and flawless skill?
Wait, it seems like this guy hasn’t moved at all since the beginning…
Mu Sicheng's eyes suddenly moved. He remembered the video clip about Phoebe that Wang Shun showed them. After Phoebe used the gospel to attract her opponent, she let the opponent come to her instead of taking the initiative to attack the enemy.
So, is it possible...
"Hey." Mu Sicheng slowly put away his monkey claws. He showed a somewhat evil smile to Phoebe who was hiding in the skeleton armor, "After you used the skill, your movement range has been shrinking, is that right-"
"The range of your Hell Prayer Song skill will decrease over time?"
Phoebe's pupils shrank slightly.
Almost at this moment, Liu Ji returned to defense and knocked Mu Sicheng away with a wild hammer. Mu Sicheng quickly took off his burning coat, stepped on the pillar of the church with one foot, flipped in the air and landed next to Tang Erda.
Tang Erda said quickly: "I just heard it."
"If the opponent's movement range decreases over time, it will be easier for us to escape."
“But if they all run, these guys will have to go back to defend, causing trouble for Bai Liu and the others, right?” Mu Sicheng panted and shook his burnt hands, grinning, “Such terrifying attack power. One person must stay behind to hold these two back, otherwise if they go back to defend, Bai Liu will be in trouble.”
"I'll stay here." Tang Erda quickly took over the burden, "You can't hold them back."
"But you are their target, right?" Mu Sicheng's expression was rare and calm. He glanced at Tang Erda and said, "Isn't it what they want if you stay here?"
Tang Erda was stunned: "Mu Sicheng, you want to..."
If Mu Sicheng stayed here, there would be only one outcome - he would be killed by these two people.
Phoebe moved back and raised her hands. Countless wronged souls on the ground howled and climbed up to rush towards Tang Er. She interrupted the conversation between the two with a cold expression: "I don't remember the time I left for you to discuss countermeasures."
"Go to hell, everyone."
The moment she finished speaking, Liu Ji jumped high, using the cover of the skeletons surrounding Tang Erda, raised the burning bone hammer and smashed it hard at Tang Erda.
At the moment when the hammer was about to fall, Mu Sicheng almost flashed in front of Tang Erda, crossed his monkey claws above his head, pulled one foot back, and took the blow from Liu Ji.
His arm was immediately enveloped in the flames of the hammer. Amid the intense pain of the high temperature burning his arm, Mu Sicheng reluctantly opened one eye, took two deep breaths to adjust his breathing, and then hoarsely said to Tang Erda behind him, "You go back to defend Bai Liu and the others, I'll hold these two back."
[System prompt: Player Mu is in the Four Sincerity stacking state (burning arms), and his health is decreasing continuously. Currently it is 78...76...]
"Great camaraderie." Phoebe waved her hand to her left with an indifferent expression. "If your health wasn't dropping so quickly, you would be quite handsome when you let the hunter run away without saying anything."
The ground was covered with layers of black smoke. In addition to the skeletons, some twisted corpses were crawling out from the ground.
Mu Sicheng's right monkey paw had been burned to the point where the bone was almost exposed. He raised his eyebrows hoarsely and smiled at Phoebe: "But my health points are dropping faster, which is not what you want, right?"
"You want to take away the hunter's health points, so every point of health points I lose for him is an obstacle to your plan, so I can consider it a profit, right?"
"Stupid calculation strategy." Phoebe's expression became colder and she moved her hands back. "Is this how your shrewd tactician taught you to fight the enemy?"
The skeletons and zombies on the ground rushed towards Tang Er like crazy following Phoebe's actions. Tang Er stepped back with one foot to avoid them, turned his head to look at Mu Sicheng, and quickly ran towards the gate of the Vatican.
"Liu Ji, stop him." Phoebe ordered coldly and quickly.
Liu Ji swung the giant hammer a few times and smashed it hard in front of Tang Erda's only exit from the Church. Flames splashed everywhere as he smashed down. Liu Ji leaned back and pulled up, roaring and trying to hit Tang Erda's face with the hammer. Mu Sicheng, who was entangled by the skeleton, moved his eyes back, put one foot on the ground, tensed his lower back, and kicked backwards as if he was accumulating energy before a sprint. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Tang Erda and blocked Liu Ji's full-strength hammer.
At the moment when Tang Erda was about to step out from the front of the Vatican, the ground began to shake violently and the sound of a giant running swiftly was heard.
Phoebe's expression froze when she heard the running sound, and she quickly realized what had happened at the Papal Palace - Qi Yifang's mission had failed, so she immediately gave them the Titan, hoping that they would complete the mission quickly and return for support.
Without time to think, Phoebe gave another order: "Titan, stop the hunter."
The giant's fist, as huge as a mountain, fell from the sky like a meteorite, and hammered a hole in the ground that was half the size of the courtroom. The bottom of the hole was hollowed out, directly cutting off the road outside the Vatican leading to the Pope's Palace. Tang Erda retreated quickly and decided to break through from the side. Liu Ji and Titan turned to stop Tang Erda at the same time.
Liu Ji held up the burning bone hammer, and the giant pulled his fist out of the ground, aiming at Tang Er and striking again.
The bone hammer and the fist fell almost at the same time, and ashes burst out layer by layer, as if a small explosion had just occurred.
When the ashes cleared, a ragged Mu Sicheng was kneeling on one knee on the ground. He had a fist in one hand, and his right hand was burned by the flames of the bone hammer. He raised his head with a cough, his face was covered in dust and a bloody mark was left on his knee where he had been hammered on the ground. However, he had a smile on his dirty face.
A cocky, even lazy smile.
"Didn't I tell you guys?" Mu Sicheng raised his lips, "Your opponent now is me."
"Hunters who want to hunt us down must first step over my body."
[System prompt: Player Mu Sicheng has been hit hard, his health has dropped by 33, and his current health is 41.]
All expression disappeared from Phoebe's face. She ordered coldly: "Kill him first, then go after the hunter."
