Chapter 259: Can’t Even Catch Up Scavenging Scrap, Yet Still Sniping Mobs
Shi Xu had just moved when a long black-spotted face gradually emerged from the darkness.
Silver light flashed by, and Yu Jiang took advantage of the momentum to hold the bayonet and strike the vengeful spirit head-on, forcing it back.
In the few seconds before its skill cooldown, she tanked the damage head-on, outputting furiously, dealing as much health damage as possible, and profiting big on critical hits.
The vengeful spirit’s body, cracked by the White Crystal Bayonet, wouldn’t heal but instead overflowed with large patches of misty black gas.
The pained vengeful spirit roared at Yu Jiang and extended its rotten arm. Yu Jiang had prop sunglasses, allowing her to clearly see its movement trajectory in time. While swinging the bayonet, she calculated the distance and timing.
Two more seconds.
Yu Jiang smoothly advanced a few steps. The vengeful spirit teleported into Han Jiang Gu Ying’s trap, right into Shi Xu’s attack range.
It was surrounded. The trap wouldn’t hold it for long, but its health bar had dropped 50%.
It tried to teleport behind to kill, but Yu Jiang slashed over. No matter how long its limbs were, the vengeful spirit crawling distortedly on the ground in the shadows screamed and retreated step by step onto Shi Xu’s long saber.
With the special spray and Shi Xu’s attack value, the vengeful spirit’s health bar plummeted.
Yu Jiang caught a glimpse of another team’s movements from the corner of her eye, guessing they had finished setting up the battlefield and were about to jump down for concentrated output to snipe mobs. She immediately shouted, “Sister Lang!”
“Got it.” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy, who had been crouching nearby for ages, gave an OK hand gesture and pulled out her suona.
On the rooftop, several people had their skills ready in hand, preparing to throw them out.
Suddenly, explosive music blasted through the entire service area. The shadow at the farthest edge stumbled and nearly tumbled headfirst.
Everyone’s expressions froze for an instant. Jiu Ge steadied themself, unsure whether to jump down or stay on the roof.
“What the hell was that? Scared me! We were fighting fine, why are they blowing suona? Sending off the dead? They’re pissing off the ghost!”
“Don’t go down. That’s area control.” A calm voice sounded from behind, signaling them to look at the vengeful spirit in the middle.
It was already crawling distortedly, but now it used all limbs to leap up, with a frenzied sense of limbs out of control.
Jiu Ge quickly retreated, turning an inquiring gaze to the teammate beside them.
“What is she blowing? Is it controlling the vengeful spirit through the melody?”
“Listen to what she sang for me.” The teammate cleared their throat.
“Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy, tonight it comes to your home. Your home has its little lover, together they bounce and rub-rub.”
The people nearby opened their mouths, their expressions indescribable. Too crazy—this was the famous suona player from 002 district?
Look how pissed the vengeful spirit was; its skin was starting to drop. It was going berserk, and she was still blowing.
Even crazier was their own poison master teammate nearby, singing along enthusiastically to the melody, completely forgetting about sniping mobs.
This kid claimed he was a mic dominator before, Yun City folk song little prince—with that broken gong voice, it was lucky he hadn’t been beaten out.
“Enough singing, it’s awful!” Jiu Ge’s mouth twitched. “That monster’s health is almost gone, and her skill isn’t finished yet!”
“This skill is to counter us.” The person behind spoke again, their voice emotionless.
The next second, lightning crackled down overhead, syncing rhythmically with the suona below.
The people on the roof didn’t want to come down, but they had to.
At the same time, Yu Jiang was sent flying by the vengeful spirit. Behind her was a broken vehicle steel frame—this force could pierce her kidney.
Yu Jiang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, whipping out her long whip to wrap around the vehicle skeleton, trying to steady herself.
The red vengeful spirit was too strong; she couldn’t hold steady. She and half the abandoned vehicle frame were both swept up in the black mist.
Shi Xu immediately turned direction, about to abandon the elite monster at hand to provide support.
Yao Yao Qie Ke Nao turned around, wanting to heal Yu Jiang. Strawberry Candy and Pure Love Cockroach also turned this way.
Finally, Yu Jiang shouted, “Don’t come over! Keep fighting!” stopping their movements.
Yu Jiang swung her arm, gripping the long whip and using all her strength to redirect the steel frame’s flight path.
And so, she and the steel frame smashed toward the other team’s master on site.
Then, Yu Jiang retracted the long whip, hugged her head, and rolled on the ground to dodge the various sharp items flying by on the ground and around her.
The other team wasn’t so lucky. The abandoned vehicle steel frame weighed several hundred pounds. They had just jumped out when this massive thing came at them.
Only several “holy shit”s were heard, followed by clangs, booms, permeating gasoline, shattered sheet metal, flying rust and dust everywhere—a scene of chaos.
The team that had made a grand entrance reappeared coughing, faces full of dust, some with bruised butts, all wide-eyed with resentful gazes, fists clenched, searching for Yu Jiang’s figure.
“She definitely did it on purpose! Too ruthless, cough cough.”
“Damn! My clothes got shredded.” The speaker looked down; his perfectly good clothes were now a crop top.
Jiu Ge had activated their skills, and when standing up, dust shook off their head—hardly dignified.
The only one looking decent was their captain, standing there with the umbrella painted with golden runes blocking in front.
This was a bound item that could block attacks from spirit-type monsters, but not the steel frame smashing down, nor the billowing dust and rust.
He just looked better; actually, hiding behind the umbrella, he was choked by the dust in the air, frowning nonstop.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to dodge; they couldn’t. They could only tank this attack for Yu Jiang.
Forget sniping mobs; with this delay, they couldn’t even grab scrap.
“We at least traded recipes; you’re too quick to flip faces.”
When the umbrella was retracted, it was not only covered in a layer of dust but also dented by a flying slipper—no umbrella looked cool now.
Yu Jiang pushed off the ground with her palm to stand, enduring the pain in her shoulder and back, calmly patting the dust off herself.
She couldn’t lose face, especially in front of another leaderboard player who had nearly snatched the mob.
“We’re fighting below, and you’re watching from above—is that fair? Blue Umbrella.” Yu Jiang raised her eyes slightly.
They wanted to watch her moves, then jump down to pick up the ready kills—nice try! All of them had to come down and tank damage for her.
Blue Umbrella was also sizing up the people opposite. From the suona sound, they had guessed these people’s origins. Initially curious about Combat Power Top 1’s strength, until she used her skill weapon.
It had to be said, as expected of the only alchemist in the top ten on the combat power ranking—her timing retracting the long whip and rolling was perfect.
Not only ensuring the steel frame would smash right into their faces, but also dodging damage herself—such reaction ability was impressive.
By comparison, the poison master in his team was like a dumbass.
Blue Umbrella glanced at Misty Mushroom, who had just fallen on their butt.
“We didn’t snag the mob; no complaints. You calculated it all along, forcing us down to use us as shields.”
Blue Umbrella spoke flatly. They weren’t sore losers, even though they’d never failed in 009 district before.
Yu Jiang’s lips curved slightly, generously admitting, “Exactly.”
