Chapter 475 - 446: Smuggling Through the Eight-Headed Snake Passage Again
The scene switched, and Da Fei found himself once again in the glittering space channel of the Eight-Headed Snake.
Da Fei entered Stealth State and swam quietly towards the shore, inching closer to the enormous mound of flesh that was the Eight-Headed Snake. The head on duty, spouting flames, was a Fire Head.
Just as Da Fei got a clear view of that Fire Head, a long-missed alarm of red flashes exploded on his screen!
— System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! You are about to enter the Eight-Headed Snake’s alert range, continuing to approach will initiate combat!
Da Fei was startled and retracted quickly—my Master Stealth State is detected from this distance! This Fire Head’s vision is miles ahead of the Poison Head I first encountered, not to mention far surpassing the Ice Head!
No choice, Da Fei lay far off in the water by the shore and waited, waited for the Ice Head to take over the watch.
Minutes ticked by ever so slowly, and after what seemed like an eternity, the boastful, smoky Fire Head finally settled down, and a shadowy, smoke-billowing Dark Head rose.
Oh my goodness! The variety of this Eight-Headed Snake is truly staggering. How long will it be before it rotates to the Ice Head? Does that mean I was lucky to encounter the Ice Head right away last time? Alright, it’s time to cough up the gains I made then and continue the wait.
While waiting and bored, Da Fei switched to his alt to check on the situation with the Bloodrose Guild.
Currently, it’s almost 11 PM, and the day’s battle that has been raging on the plains for two days is finally drawing to a close. The professional players of the Dragon Slayer Guild, tired from the relentless fighting, could no longer bear the infinite Resurrection Technique and endless mana potions of Bloodrose, and one after another, they withdrew.
At this point, the entire Guild channel was filled with cheers and whoops of joy, and the area channel of the Western Wilderness was likewise abuzz with celebrations of victory.
It must be said, Bloodrose had indeed targeted the professional players’ Achilles’ heel—valuing their time highly, they couldn’t sustain the nonsensical attrition by semi-professional players. And, of course, Bloodrose’s "must-win" face-saving operation wasn’t as nonsensical as it seemed.
Now, junxiang’s alt followed the team that had quietly penetrated the territory of the Beastman Blood Barbarian Tribe. As the players from the Dark Alliance retired in fatigue, it was believed that no other players would interfere any longer.
Bloodrose Holy Spear began to speak on the channel: "Ladies, gentlemen, sisters, schoolmates, thank you all for your hard work and fatigue. But, this is nothing more than a little warm-up for a slimming exercise. The real mission has just begun. We may not be able to find an Ouling in this vast wilderness, but we can easily spot the Beastmen hunting him. Now we start spreading out in a dragnet formation, teams 1 and 2 with 20 members each, range from the Poison Bee territory to Black Wolf Valley, spanning a line as bait and a Reconnaissance Unit. Teams 3 and 4, the main force, will dig trenches and build Defense Works on the second line. As soon as the first line encounters a Beastman squad, they must retreat immediately, leading the Beastmen to the second line, then the two lines will encircle and rapidly annihilate the Beastmen. In short, this is the most reliable battlefield, and everything we do is to attract the Beastmen pursuit to cover Ouling’s escape, and perhaps Ouling will show up and join the battle too. Let’s get moving, team captains start deploying your members!"
"Team 1 received!"
"Team 2 received!"
...
Da Fei couldn’t help but marvel! So this is their reception tactic? Not bad, simple and effective. Also worth mentioning, it seems they’ve all learned the Lord System Skills Battlefield Engineering. Meaning troops can dig trenches and pile up earthworks for resistance against enemy charges in the field and can also use Anti-Horse Barriers and other defense weaponry. Indeed, this is a must-learn Compulsory Skill for heroes focused on land warfare.
Speaking of which, it’s been about 4 or 5 game days since Ouling took off this afternoon, right? Is his prominent goal simply to kill a minor Chieftain? With his level, attack and defense attributes, and the troops he carried, it would be beyond common sense to achieve this. But the key question is, how could a hero who doesn’t know the Reconnaissance Skill hide himself and dodge the pursuit in this vast wilderness? Anyway, the answer will be revealed tonight.
At this moment, junxiang’s alt received a message; it was Little Fang.
Little Fang: "Big bro, are you hungry? Did you fall asleep? Come over for some late-night snacks!"
Late-night snack! An instant tingling sweetness surged to his heart! Sweet was, I also have a day to enjoy late-night snacks with a beauty! The tingling was, Da Fei quickly switched to his main account to check, and it was still that smokey head.
Alas, women, they really don’t let a guy relax. Just hurry up and finish the job!
Da Fei immediately went to knock on the door, where Little Fang greeted him with a laugh, her hair loose, wearing a white nightgown: "Big bro, still so spirited! I thought you had fallen asleep from boredom!"
Oh my gosh! Smelling the scent of her body wash, Da Fei felt his heart race! Are you the late-night snack? This requires careful savoring, even if the sky falls, one should not rush it! But, but!
Ah, if only my sister weren’t here, believe it or not, bro, I’d push you down!
Da Fei bitterly laughed and said sheepishly, "Not at all, I just didn’t know what to do and dozed off, but when you called me, I woke up!"
Just then, Little Li appeared in a pink nightgown, holding a big cup of hot coffee: "Hurry up, the Guild’s rest time is less than three minutes."
Seeing Little Li in such attire, Da Fei’s eyes couldn’t help but widen! Oh my goodness, my sister is also getting trendy following the wealthy big sis! For a moment, Da Fei felt such resentment, wondering which lucky bastard would have this fortune in the future!
