Chapter 278: Snagging The Resource Supply Box
“Good, the monsters are coming right on time, everyone charge together!”
Yu Jiang looked toward the monsters swarming in from the street corner and the roof.
If not for these two blocking the way, she would have transferred to the neighboring street block long before being surrounded.
She didn’t leave because she knew that fighting these two would also trap her for a while; they wouldn’t let her go easily.
So instead, wait for the monsters to arrive and fight together.
Perfectly, she also wanted these two to draw fire, sniping kills is all about personal skill anyway.
The two players heard the excitement mixed in her tone and felt like they had encountered a madman. Did she know long ago that a huge group of monsters was coming?
Isn’t this insane?!
Three or four monsters would be one thing, but dozens marching in formation! Even the little ones just hatched, still covered in foul-smelling mucus, had come out. How could they fight this?
The two players wanted to run, but this was an alley; how could they outrun the monsters leaping nimbly across the roofs?
In the blink of an eye, monster roars rose and fell around them; in a few minutes, the encirclement would be sealed tight.
These two could really hold out, not making a move, just staring at Yu Jiang waiting for her to act first.
Seeing who would hold out the longest—Yu Jiang, with this skin remembered by the monsters, faced the fiercest attacks, but she endured thanks to her quick reactions, always dodging at the precise time and position.
The two didn’t hold out long; they really couldn’t take it anymore. If they didn’t fight back, the monsters would kill them.
Their strength wasn’t bad; each output in one direction, right when the monsters were about to croak,
Yu Jiang charged forward with the monster horde behind her. While bending to dodge the bone spur, she smoothly croaked two monsters.
The two players knew what she was doing and tried their best to snipe mobs too, but their timing wasn’t as controlled as hers; they didn’t snag any.
No problem, getting the dropped resources would also
The player with the bone-white monster skin thought this, reaching out to grab the resources.
Suddenly Yu Jiang rolled on the spot; the bone spur chasing behind her smashed the scattered trash on the ground to pieces, nearly landing that sharp bone spur capable of gutting a person right on her back.
The bone spur missed Yu Jiang, and the resources on the ground were gone.
The two players’ temples throbbed, their chests heaving violently.
They fought for so long and got nothing; all the kills and resources went to her?
“You freaking…”
The two attacked Yu Jiang from left and right; no more pretending now, unleashing full strength to take her down. But in terms of aggro value, they weren’t even in the running.
Just as they raised their weapons, they were knocked aside by monsters at peak frenzy, and behind them loomed an elite monster—or little boss—with bone spurs raised and noticeably larger build.
The bone-white skin player let out a miserable scream, impaled right on by the bone spur; the other was swept by the monster’s exoskeleton tail, losing 30 health points.
This was a position Yu Jiang had predicted; she seized the chance to madly stab the elite monster.
With 30 health points left, the two low-health players wanted to take her out while she sniped monsters,
Yu Jiang noticed their positions, didn’t stop, but struck first, denying them preparation time. She pulled the monsters to turn direction, letting them block the first player’s attack,
then tanked the second player’s hooked weapon hard while stabbing her bayonet into the elite monster’s abdominal vital spot.
The elite monster’s stats were all a cut above ordinary monsters; even with a critical hit, it didn’t die.
Yu Jiang gritted through the dull pain in her body; as the elite monster counterattacked, she swung her bayonet into the player with the hooked weapon.
The weakness not triggered on the monster landed on the player.
The player who felt half his strength instantly drained looked in panic at the debuff over his head and the white translucent blade flashing before his eyes.
Then, the scene before him froze, turning gray.
[Decoy Matchstick Man Item consumed. Please choose within 10 seconds: leave the battlefield or random respawn.]
The player trembled, unable to decide; quitting would surely let him survive, but he couldn’t accept being eliminated like this.
In the final second of the countdown, he still pressed respawn.
The other player, killed by the monsters, decisively chose to exit. Too terrifying—the feeling of the cold sharp bone spur piercing his throat made him shudder just thinking back.
At this moment, Yu Jiang was flung away by a powerful blow, her lower back slamming into building debris, making her hiss in pain.
She didn’t dare delay, immediately scrambling up and dashing at max speed toward the elite monster ahead.
This thing’s attack range was about 5 meters; from afar it had no advantage, but its bounce power was shocking, pulling players into range in one leap.
Had to go against it—close the distance to reduce attacks taken. Its bone spurs grew on the outer side of its slender twisted arms.
Only by moving in was there a chance; fearing death and dodging back was a dead end, like how the bone-white player died.
The more afraid of death, the faster eliminated on the city battlefield.
The chaotic sounds in her ears and the foul-smelling air seemed to freeze in this moment; in Yu Jiang’s sight, only the bone spur swelling beside her remained,
Strong wind first swept her cheek, stinging her skin faintly; just as the bone spur was about to slash her eyes, the final slash finally landed on the monster.
The nearly three-meter-tall body crashed to the ground in the next instant.
[Player ‘The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain’ has killed ‘Elite Alien Species’, lighting up battlefield info, obtaining Supply Box!]
[Elite Alien Species: Appears in random areas, max 3 in battlefield at once, this time quantity: 1 (already killed)

Instance Announcement out, the channel paused a moment, then boiled over.
Wildfire: “Didn’t expect the Wealth Ranking Number One, Combat Power Ranking Fifth survivor to be in this team. Not even long in and already triggered an announcement. With her here, everyone probably won’t get much resources.”
Hero Spare My Life: “Is it Sister Little Drill Wind? Please team up, carry me.”
Rose: “No way! Really? I’m actually teamed with a big shot!”
Mess With Me And You’ve Messed With Shit: “Big shot is still awesome, I’m still squatting not daring to go out, but big shot is already slaying all sides.”
Hyena: “Still happily chattering here? So many battlefield resources, she’ll compete for ranking and definitely snatch ours.”
At this point, the unspoken rest was clear to all: high combat power player, 002 zone big shot—who doesn’t want to knock her down.
What a great chance now, with monster skin on, ambush a wave in secret. Especially with more people, in the chaos of battle, no one knows who hit what, no worries at all.
Happiness Comes To An End: “Is that big shot the one in central zone killing anything alive? Even spoke to reveal identity, no mercy, even kicked a passing rat.”
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain: “If the one in central zone foot-kicking rats and killing on sight is me, then who just hit the elite monster? Elite monster last spawn position was announced, not checking?”
She wouldn’t take the blame for something she didn’t do.
Still, whoever did it had solid combat power and ruthless methods, killing players or monsters on sight.
Didn’t know if it was Heartless Water or some other master.
Rose: “!!! Big shot actually spoke in the channel, I’m so excited!”
Hero Spare My Life: “What features does the elite monster have, can you share?”
