Jiang Hao was terrified.
The fact that his weapon had vanished was incredibly strange, even in a game. Not only was Jiang Hao's attack interrupted, but he was also left without a weapon and unable to launch an attack.
This was no small shock; it was the first time someone had indirectly ruined his talent.
Jiang Hao's first thought was that his weapon had been taken by an invisible assassin. But after looking around, he immediately realized that was impossible.
He's currently nearly a thousand meters in the air.
Jiang Hao then guessed that it must have been one of the enemy players who, relying on a strange talent, had taken his weapon. He could have done the same with his own talent, his self-created Dragon-Capturing Hand technique.
Jiang Hao's second thought was that he was being watched. Because he wanted to get a better view of the situation below, the skeletal roc wasn't flying very high. Given its massive size, it wouldn't be difficult for an enemy to spot it. However, the fact that the person could so precisely target and disarm him made Jiang Hao realize the mysterious person's keen perception.
This was the first time a player had caused Jiang Hao such a setback. He wouldn't be able to eat or sleep without finding this person. Since the enemy had already discovered him, there was no need to deliberately hide. The skeletal roc slowly flapped its wings, lowering its flight altitude again, and then Jiang Hao began searching for suspicious individuals among the enemy ranks.
However, the battlefield was too vast, and there were so many enemy players. After inspecting the western battlefield, Jiang Hao then inspected the southern battlefield. Originally, Jiang Hao had given up hope, but when he inspected the eastern edge of the battlefield, he saw an acquaintance, or more precisely, he encountered the Military Intelligence Bureau guild.
Jiang Hao habitually glanced at the leader of Military Intelligence Bureau Seven, whose ID was "The Archer Who's Been Well-Behaved Since Childhood." He was now certain that Military Intelligence Bureau Seven's successful escape from the encirclement of the five major guilds on the Ping Sha Lake battlefield was definitely related to this person's special talent. Jiang Hao suspected that "The Archer Who's Been Well-Behaved Since Childhood" must possess the talent to know the enemy's movements on the battlefield at any time.
Jiang Hao really wanted to ask that John Bull archer himself if it was true.
Suddenly, a player standing next to "Always Well-Behaved" caught Jiang Hao's attention. The girl looked like a student, with fair skin and a lively personality. Standing next to "Always Well-Behaved," she kept chattering and proudly showing off the staff in her hand. However, her ID was a bit strange: "Don't Scold Me, I'm Practicing."
Jiang Hao's face lit up with joy when he saw the staff. It was truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly." Wasn't that the legendary weapon Jiang Hao had been searching for—the Guardian Staff?
Jiang Hao initially thought he had found the culprit, but the player, despite his young age, seemed precocious and ambitious, hardly the intelligent type. He was far from the image of a murderer Jiang Hao had imagined. Furthermore, his previously well-behaved nature seemed unusual. He appeared nervous, as if he hadn't heard the girl beside him, constantly glancing around, until he slowly turned and saw the Lord of Hell staring at him from high above, immediately giving him a fright.
Jiang Hao opened his backpack and equipped the silver-grade weapon and shield staff that he had previously replaced. With the weapon in hand, Jiang Hao calmly raised the staff towards the obedient child.
He had always been well-behaved since childhood, but he was immediately terrified, as if Jiang Hao were a demon god who would take his life in the next second, leaving him no room to resist. Then, as if he had found a lifeline, he grabbed the girl next to him and used her as a shield in front of him.
With just a tiny probe, Jiang Hao immediately realized that this player, "John Bull, I've Been Well-Behaved Since Childhood," knew him as well as the leaders of the five major guilds. And the fact that the MI7 guild escaped unscathed was undoubtedly thanks to this player.
Jiang Hao could roughly guess the extent of my "well-behaved since childhood" ability. First, he must have the ability to remotely monitor players; otherwise, he wouldn't have known what Jiang Hao raising his staff meant, and he wouldn't have instinctively shown such fear. As for the range of this ability, Jiang Hao had a guess: at least ten kilometers. This is the distance from the northernmost point of Ping Sha Lake to its center, covering a large portion of the battlefield of Killing Heart. This ability allows him to monitor the situation on the Ping Sha Lake battlefield at any time, which makes sense.
In this way, the mystery surrounding MI7 in Jiang Hao's heart was finally solved. Although the ability to be well-behaved since childhood was not a very lethal ability, in Jiang Hao's mind, it was a very troublesome and sufficiently secretive ability.
Jiang Hao guessed that if it weren't for the skeletal roc giving him enough aerial advantage to solve the case in time, this John Bull player would probably have caused him even more trouble.
Jiang Hao held his staff high, not bringing it down. In truth, once he set his sights on someone, even if that person had always been well-behaved and hid behind a hundred-person team, he could easily drag them under his staff. Jiang Hao hesitated to act because he wanted to see firsthand just how capable that player who had said "Don't scold me, I'm practicing" really was.
And the female player certainly didn't disappoint him. After being pulled in front of him, she was terrified and immediately covered her eyes. After a moment, she slowly raised her head and saw the giant skeleton bird in the air, her eyes flashing with excitement.
She didn't seem to notice Jiang Hao, who was standing inside the giant skeletal bird's belly.
Jiang Hao saw the girl extend her right hand toward him, or rather, toward the skeletal roc. Then she clenched her right hand, leaving only her index finger, and finally hooked the skeletal roc twice with her index finger.
Jiang Hao guessed that this might be the female player using her special ability.
Players in the Lingxu game are like this: no matter how many types of talents there are, when they get to the players, they can always add all sorts of appropriate actions. Some are to show domineering power, some are to show elegance, and some are to pursue practicality, hoping that the actions are as simple and efficient as possible.
Regardless of the specific actions, there must always be some kind of action.
Perhaps the skeletal dragon hadn't changed as expected, so she repeated the same movements again, ignoring the scolding. The skeletal dragon didn't even glance at her.
It seems her skills are ineffective against summoned creatures. Jiang Hao smiled and made the Skeleton Roc lower its flight altitude again. Then, he himself stepped out from behind the Skeleton Roc's skeleton and raised the silver-grade staff high in his hand.
"Stop scolding me, I'm practicing!" Suddenly seeing someone emerge from the skeletal roc, she was slightly surprised, but didn't immediately attack Jiang Hao. She wasn't even on guard against him. He quickly leaned close to her ear, pointing at Jiang Hao and whispering something in her ear.
I don't know what she said that made the girl, who had always been well-behaved, change her expression from normal to confused, then from wary to indifferent. Finally, rather reluctantly, she pointed her index finger at Jiang Hao.
She flicked her index finger twice, and Jiang Hao saw that the girl had a silver-grade staff in her hand, which looked exactly like his shield staff.
But his own hands were already empty.
