Chen Yi remained motionless.
His several high-level skeletons were leading a team to clear out the nearby monsters and were continuously providing him with experience points.
There are also scout skeletons scouting the area as the Frost Falcons return to their nests.
As for this side...
Shen Yi didn't know what had happened, so he didn't rush out.
The source of the voice is someone else.
The tall, thin man glanced at it.
"Someone else is here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a team composed entirely of girls appeared in front of everyone.
The person in charge was Mu Qingxue.
Shen Yi was taken aback. "Mu Qingxue? What's she doing here?"
Mu Qingxue held a magic staff.
The students from Jiangnan No.1 High School who saw her all showed expressions of surprise and delight.
"It's Mu Qingxue from our school!"
"Her profession is also rare!"
"We're saved!"
"Sister Qingxue, save us..."
As Mu Qingxue listened, her delicate brows furrowed even deeper, her hand gripping her staff.
"What exactly happened here?"
A girl with dirty cheeks quickly said, "They're from another school. They're using us to lure the monster."
"Several of our students have been logged out of the game..."
"Just now... Wang Qi from Class 3 was used as bait and snatched away by the Frost Falcon. His fate is still unknown."
Mu Qingxue's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "They actually used you as human bait?"
"asshole!"
Mu Qingxue gripped her staff tightly, which was filled with blue-purple lightning.
The tall, thin man glanced at Mu Qingxue, his expression unchanged, before a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Hmm... it's a rare profession?"
He seemed unconcerned about the overflowing anger in Mu Qingxue's eyes, and instead began to explain himself.
“Powerful monsters are difficult to deal with head-on, and they all have their own fixed life patterns.”
"Find out their living patterns, and then seize the opportunity to deal with them... Didn't your teacher teach you that?"
Mu Qingxue stared directly at the tall, thin man, "You're treating human life like dirt!"
The tall, thin man shrugged, looking at Mu Qingxue with complete indifference.
"Some sacrifices are inevitable in order to hunt high-level monsters."
"you!"
Mu Qingxue's eyes blazed with fury.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around the tall, thin man burst into laughter.
"Exactly! The highest level is only 2, isn't that just pure waste?"
"What use are these useless professionals, other than as bait?"
"It's more like an honor for them to be our team's bait!"
"Hahaha!"
Mu Qingxue coldly shouted, "Shut up!"
She suppressed her anger, "Although I don't know where you all came from."
"But you can't use our school's students as bait!"
The tall, thin man raised an eyebrow. "I'll talk."
Have you said enough?
"I can see your level isn't low either... You can't possibly be in cahoots with this bunch of trash, can you?"
He scanned Mu Qingxue from head to toe, his eyes filled with aggression.
"A rare profession... Hmm, looks like a mage, and quite pretty too. How come I've never heard of someone like you before?"
"This has nothing to do with you," Mu Qingxue said coldly. "I only have one thing to say to you: release them!"
"Let them go? That won't do." Li Peng chuckled. "Although they're pretty useless, they're still somewhat useful."
"You think you can make me release them just because you say so?"
As he spoke, Li Peng's smile gradually turned cold and sinister. "You think you're worthy?"
"you!"
Mu Qingxue took a deep breath. "I'll say it one last time: release them!"
Having not yet ascertained Li Peng's background, Mu Qingxue did not want to clash with him.
But Li Peng is clearly not someone to be trifled with.
A peaceful resolution seems unlikely.
Mu Qingxue gripped her staff tightly.
She signaled to her squad members to get ready, and they all drew their weapons, poised to fire.
Just then.
Whoosh—
Li Peng vanished from the spot in an instant!
Mu Qingxue couldn't even catch a glimpse of Li Peng!
She knew something was wrong and made a decision as quickly as possible.
"Form up to engage the enemy!"
With a sharp shout, Mu Qingxue's team sprang into action!
Two female knights wielding greatswords rushed forward, while the girl with a dagger disappeared into the shadows.
The hunter nocked an arrow and began to move laterally.
At the same time, Mu Qingxue and another mage retreated rapidly.
The essence of combat is to stay where you are.
The Knight, as the forward, is at the forefront, with the Assassin providing support and roaming around, and the Hunter responsible for center-back.
The mage, on the other hand, oversees the entire situation from the back row, providing powerful firepower support.
The girls in Mu Qingxue's team were all quite skilled in combat, and they quickly found their positions and landed.
Can.
The next second, the two girls were illuminated by a light of rebirth!
An assassin and a knight were instantly fatally wounded and forced to leave the instance!
Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
She then realized that an inconspicuous hunter had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow.
He just shot two arrows, and before her people could react, the arrowheads were already aimed at their hearts.
"asshole!!!"
Lightning instantly erupted from the staff in Mu Qingxue's hand.
"Thunder Wave!"
Boom!
A massive beam of lightning shot out!
The hunter reacted extremely quickly. Seeing the attack coming, he immediately put away his bow and arrows and jumped back.
Mu Qingxue gritted her teeth, "Don't even think about running away!"
She manipulated lightning, determined to send the hunter who had ambushed her out of the instance.
However.
Mu Qingxue's vision went black as a tremendous force struck her lower abdomen.
"Hmm..."
Despite the pain, Mu Qingxue endured it, her staff glowing as she prepared to use magic to drive away the attacker.
But the next second.
A cool sensation touched her neck.
Li Peng's eyes were mocking. "I only need to move my finger, and you'll be teleported out of the instance."
He gripped the dagger in reverse, the blade brushing against Mu Qingxue's fair neck, leaving a shallow cut.
Mu Qingxue gritted her teeth.
Defeated?
We've lost just like that?
From the start of the battle until now, it's been less than five seconds!
Li Peng easily broke through their defenses and went straight for their heart of the matter.
She was subdued by Li Peng, and two members of the team were killed.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Mu Qingxue... didn't even see it clearly!
"Trust me, getting out of the game is the best outcome for you."
"Or I could cripple your limbs, rendering you completely immobile."
"Until your injuries become incurable, we'll just dump you in some quagmire."
"There are countless mosquitoes there that will keep gnawing at your delicate skin, burrowing into your body, and devouring your internal organs."
"Tsk tsk... that feeling, worse than death."
Mu Qingxue shivered involuntarily.
"I can even have my priest heal you so you won't be teleported out of the instance."
"You only have two outcomes: either you die, or you suffer a mental breakdown."
Li Peng looked Mu Qingxue up and down, then licked his lips.
"I take back what I said earlier. You, a hidden professional, are only level five... Hmph, you're trash too."
