Chapter 280: Achievement: Slay All Sides
In less than two minutes, the intersection over there was a chaotic mess of firelight and angry cursing.
“Holy shit! Who? Who threw the corrosive Molotov Cocktail! If you’ve got the guts, step forward, I’ll beat you to death!”
“Run fast!”
The Molotov Cocktail used by the Player has extraordinary lethality; it contains green flames controlled by a Skill.
Once the bottle is smashed, the fire spreads instantly, and the flames will corrode Armor and Skin.
Even high-quality Damage Reduction Armor can’t resist the corrosion. Monster exoskeletons get injured upon contact, and the consequences for a Flesh and Blood Body are imaginable.
The Output isn’t high, but it hurts, and the wounds are hard to heal. In a place like this, the chance of Infection and illness skyrockets.
In no time at all, eerie green firelight raged on the Street. Many Players wanted to run, but just as they found a path, another Glass Bottle smashed down.
They couldn’t even find who threw the bottle. While screaming and fleeing with their heads covered, they attacked frantically.
Unable to distinguish if those appearing nearby were enemies or allies, humans or Monsters, they could only Attack indiscriminately to avoid being Eliminated themselves.
Hidden Weapons flying in the air, all sorts of Knives, and tottering Utility Poles were all knocked down, crashing straight to the ground.
Boom—
Dust billowed, and the smell of blood and scorched flesh filled the air.
Wildfire standing on the Rooftop looked at the scene below and smiled in satisfaction.
With such a huge commotion, The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain will surely come.
What he didn’t know was that Yu Jiang had already raised her Binoculars to lock onto his figure, then quickly marked him on her Map using her past Combat Experience and familiarity with the Terrain.
Yu Jiang stood up from the Balcony without a Fence and used Monster Pheromone to jump straight down.
When Mimicry activates, it’s hard to describe the feeling in words. The disguise Skin turns substantial, fitting tightly over her body, and she can clearly sense every piece of exoskeleton.
However, in this Status, she can’t use Weapons, Skills, or Items.
The battle at the intersection grew more intense, and Wan Shui Qian Shan joined in too. His playstyle was sneaky, lurking at the edges and snatching Kills when people weren’t paying attention.
Monsters or Players kept falling, dropping Battlefield Resources all over the ground. Someone bent down to pick them up, only to get hit from behind, their Spine nearly snapping.
Players with lower Combat Power couldn’t last half a minute in the center of the battle. As soon as they raised their Weapon, their hair was burned off by the green firelight, and then some Attack hit them—who threw it, they didn’t know—and their Health Bar plummeted.
Wan Shui Qian Shan looked at the Crystal Coins Redemption Coupon and Battlefield-limited BUFF Card dropped on the ground, his heartbeat accelerating. He was looking for an Opportunity to snatch these two things—they were Attack Bonus BUFFs, very rare.
There was more than one Player around him with the same idea; everyone was watching. Whoever dared to pick them up would die.
Wildfire watching the show from the Rooftop also wanted to grab them; the Molotov Cocktail glowing green in his hand was about to be thrown.
Suddenly, he felt a whistling Strong Wind behind him and immediately bent over to Dodge sideways.
His Speed was fast, but the Monster’s Attack Range was 5 meters. Unless he jumped down immediately or had Teleportation, he couldn’t Dodge it.
Yu Jiang had also calculated the Attack direction perfectly; the pinkish-white Bone Spur sliced through the Armor on his body.
It instantly brought the Wear and Tear to 80%.
It was too late for Wildfire to jump down; he was knocked down by Yu Jiang, rolling two laps in the fire he had set himself, bringing his Armor Wear and Tear to 100%.
When Wildfire got up, his face was covered in black soot, looking utterly disheveled. He looked at the Monster above him with its overwhelming Sense of Oppression, a hint of horror appearing on his face.
What was going on? The Elite Monster hadn’t spawned yet—how was there another one here?!
This Monster was clearly different from the Alien Species around it screaming and wailing from the fire; its Attack Power was on another level.
Wildfire still tried to reach for the BUFF Card, but could Yu Jiang let someone snatch Supplies right in front of her? Impossible.
She swung her arm Bone Spur and immediately turned into a Battlefield reaper, flexibly Dodging Attacks aimed at her vitals. Low Health Players fell one after another—some swept by her Bone Spur, others hit by someone else’s Attack.
Wildfire was forced to retreat repeatedly, his back suddenly slamming into the Utility Pole that had just fallen to the ground.
Something was wrong—this Orchid Mantis Monster was very strange!
At this point, he finally figured out what was off. Would a normal Monster tilt its head to Dodge a Molotov Cocktail?
He’d thrown so many, and not a single one had hit. Was that reasonable?
Even for an Elite Monster, such Positioning skills would be terrifying, let alone this one which wasn’t even an Elite Monster.
[Player ‘Wildfire’ uses Open Card Prop Card. All Player Nicknames within a 2 km radius will be public. Duration: 5 minutes]
“Holy shit, even using an Open Card? Are you crazy?!”
With Nicknames about to be exposed, the Players panicked and just wanted to grab some Resources and run.
Yu Jiang raised an eyebrow, first picking up the BUFF Card on the ground. The surrounding Players hadn’t reacted yet, and the thing was gone.
“It’s The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain—she’s here!”
Nearby, Wan Shui Qian Shan shouted in terror. He had fallen by a pile of Trash on the Road Surface and hadn’t gotten up in time. Glancing at Yu Jiang’s Nickname above her head, without even seeing who it was clearly, he scrambled backward on all fours.
They had come to block The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, fought for so long, and didn’t realize she had already blended in.
After the Open Card took effect, a string of System Messages floated: ‘The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain’s Bone Spur deals Damage to you.’
Wan Shui Qian Shan was truly scared.
With so many Players’ Attacks crashing down, she navigated the middle with ease. Wildfire hadn’t even touched the hem of her clothes, and now her Nickname was exposed.
The players present mentally cursed Wildfire’s ancestors eighteen generations over. This idiot throwing a Molotov Cocktail was one thing, but now he was flipping the table.
“So it was you, you old guy.” Yu Jiang’s voice was calm as she jumped in front of Wan Shui Qian Shan, who was trying to run away.
“I-I, I was wrong, Big Shot, give me another chance.”
Before Wan Shui Qian Shan could finish speaking, his throat was slit by the Bone Spur.
“What item did you use, or was it the reward for killing an Elite Monster?” What else didn’t Wildfire understand.
Just as he thought, with the Alien Species’ speed, dodging his attacks every time was too bizarre.
Yu Jiang didn’t answer and attacked directly.
Monster Mimicry had 1 minute 50 seconds left.
Wildfire prepared to use the Open Card to kill her. No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t emerge unscathed from so many players’ attacks, not to mention Wildfire’s strength was not bad.
But he didn’t expect there to be something like Monster Pheromone.
Yu Jiang jumped over from the rooftop, catching him off guard.
As everyone knew, players with Monster Skin couldn’t attack like monsters.
He didn’t react at first, and now that he had, the players present were either eliminated or at Low Health.
They didn’t know how long the Monster Mimicry lasted either; they just wanted to run away quickly.
Yu Jiang relied on the monster’s jumping ability, swinging the Bone Spur, stabbing at any nicknames in the channel that had caused trouble.
Her battle reaction ability combined with the monster’s defense and attack—few could withstand it.
Monster Mimicry had 30 seconds left; Wildfire had 20 Health Points.
Yu Jiang timed it perfectly, decisively pulling out the Bayonet. As the Monster Mimicry automatically ended, the Knife in her hand stabbed into Wildfire’s shoulder.
