The tallest of the three was the first to launch an attack.
He drew his greatsword and shouted "Sky-Splitting Slash!" A visible blade of energy shot towards the two men like a silver lightning bolt, neatly cutting through the grass in its path.
The people around them weren't idle either; with a wave of their staffs, countless sharp icicles appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this, Yu Xiangnan silently took two steps back.
It's not good to get caught in the crossfire while just watching the drama unfold.
Seeing a barrage of skills coming at him, the player who had previously boasted about having three butlers, five cooks, and sixty servants revolving around him every day remained completely unfazed.
He immediately summoned a protective barrier, and the skill struck it, creating a thunderous sound.
Although the barrier blocked the fierce attack, it instantly turned into light spots and disappeared into the air with a crisp sound under the powerful impact of these skills.
Yu Xiangnan, an observer, stared at the man, lost in thought.
To be so confident when facing three opponents with only two opponents, it can't just be because of the level advantage, right?
If they don't have any trump cards or special items, then they must be very confident in their professional skills and additional abilities.
The next second, the man let out a cold snort.
"Click, click-click—"
The bones deformed and expanded rapidly with a cracking sound.
In the blink of an eye, his body suddenly swelled, his muscles bulged like a writhing dragon, his forehead protruded, his eyes sunken deep, his nose became flat and broad, and his ears became pointed and long. In addition, his muscles bulged high under his skin, like hard rocks.
Not only those three, but even Yu Xiangnan was taken aback.
This is... a half-orc?
This was the first time Yu Xiangnan had ever seen a player choose the [Orc] class.
How to describe it? The Orc is just as unpopular as the Funeral Director. If all professions were ranked, the universally acknowledged top-tier professions would definitely be the Mage, Warlock, and Knight, while the Funeral Director, Orc, and Artist would be at the bottom of the list.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe players who choose these three professions as "once in a century".
However, this ranking is based solely on the "popularity" of a profession and has no relation to its "intensity."
If ranked by strength, she would definitely give her funeral director a T0 ranking.
Nothing is more important than being alive.
She wanted to add another comment.
The job description states that after a player transforms into an orc, their defense and maximum health will increase dramatically. However, when the orc transformation ends, the player will enter a "weak period".
The reason why the [Orc] class is unpopular is not because of its weak attack power, but because its beast form will cause its clothes to tear, which is extremely damaging to its clothes. In addition, its appearance will drop drastically after the beast form, making it almost unbearable to look at.
Of course, it's also possible that this person's skills have gone astray.
She's not exactly a sucker for good looks, but... well... it's a bit of an eyesore.
I feel like I'm about to get a sty.
Yu Xiangnan twitched the corner of his mouth and silently looked away.
The man raised his arm, then slammed it heavily against his solid chest, throwing his head back and letting out an extremely arrogant laugh: "Hahahaha, you bunch of fools! I warned you long ago not to mess with me, but you wouldn't listen. Now, all your cold-weather protection is mine!"
With that, he roared and charged towards one of the players whose class was [Mage]. Each step caused the ground to tremble slightly, and a cloud of dust rose behind him.
Yu Xiangnan silently retreated again.
The five people immediately started fighting, and the scene became chaotic.
Initially, the orc-turned-man's team held the advantage. Enemy attacks hit them like raindrops hitting boulders, causing virtually no real damage. Another member was an assassin, launching sneak attacks from behind. However, the opposing trio included a healer who instantly restored teammates to full health as soon as their HP dropped, repeating this cycle repeatedly.
Until the orc transformation ended and the man entered a period of weakness, this became the breakthrough point for the three opponents.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, eventually ending with the deaths of two men on the man's side. The three victors, heavily wounded, began skillfully searching through the card albums of the two men.
The fog gradually thickened again.
The presence of two high-level player corpses and the unusually dark sky gave Yu Xiangnan a perfect advantage, with favorable timing, location, and circumstances.
Use [Resurrection Song] decisively.
The three men, their eyes gleaming with greed, were completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere around them. Just as they were about to begin looting the corpse on the ground, a faint melody suddenly drifted into their ears.
One of them felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation shooting from his feet to his head, and an ominous premonition rising within him.
Just then, the two lifeless corpses began to tremble violently, and then slowly stood up in an extremely stiff posture.
"!!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the other person felt their heart almost stop beating, their mind went blank, and their legs felt as heavy as lead, unable to move an inch.
Before the three could react, one of the corpses transformed into a half-orc again and lunged at them with a speed far beyond their imagination. The other one disappeared into the night, flanking the three from behind.
Is this a survival dungeon or a horror game?!
The three panicked and immediately began to dodge, but the two corpses seemed to stick to them and they couldn't shake them off no matter what they did.
One of them, his face filled with terror, cried out in despair, "What's going on? Is it a final burst of energy before death?"
"Impossible! I've already received the notification to kill them, what's going on?" Large beads of sweat rolled down the other person's forehead.
"Is it Wu Mu?"
"Wu Mu is manipulating puppets, but this is clearly a corpse!"
"Could this be a new skill she's acquired?"
The three of them talked at once, but ultimately couldn't reach a conclusion.
A terrifying atmosphere enveloped them like a heavy gloom, and the group was already pale with fright.
In a very short time, the half-orc corpse rushed towards the player whose class was mage!
The man involuntarily let out a gasp.
In that life-or-death moment, he didn't hesitate to stretch out his hands and shove the priest player next to him hard into the orcish corpse, using him as a shield!
