Chapter 196: Chapter 108: Abstract Player Tactics (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

[It’s like just leaving Newbie Village and entering a mythical map filled with only BOSSes, too tragic.]

Guidance’s explanation made Qi Sheng laugh in spite of himself.

Ever since Guidance began to flip through and understand the Earth’s historical database, when imparting knowledge, it employed Earth references with proficiency, which indeed made it simple to understand.

But no matter what the purpose of the Skyfire Clan’s descent was, Qi Sheng had no intention of letting this big fish slip away.

These days, merely slaughtering Skyfire Clan Warriors had brought substantial sacrificial power gains to him and the players.

The average level of the players in the battle also saw significant improvement.

Skyfire Warriors were even called the current version’s number one "rich monster" by players.

The drop rate and hunting rewards were far higher than those of the Insect Tide and Black Tide, making players look at the Black Tide and Insect Tide with disdain, instead of the anticipation they used to have.

As one forum user explained: After fighting the Skyfire Clan Warriors, you realize that the Black Tide and Insect Tide are just pauper monsters, showing no ambition, focusing all their growth on increasing their strength but completely neglecting the drop rates and sacrificial power gains we players care about most, heh—spit, both a bunch of crap!

Monsters compared to monsters best show the difference.

At this moment, Qi Sheng switched to the player’s perspective.

If the war mode of the Insect Tide and Black Tide can be described as cruel, frenzied, ferocious, and stern.

Then the overall attack of the players is more like an abstract performance under a scattered sand setting.

Over in one corner of the battlefield, on the back of a ten-plus-meter-long Black Armor Giant Snake stood a row of Magic players transformed into Bone Fires, who amidst the roaring and crashing of the snake, were casting spells while shouting cheerfully:

"Ahahaha, Train Flow combat style is really too exhilarating, this mobility combined with our damage output, perfect!"

"Target that Fire Sword-wielding Skyfire Warrior, brothers focus fire on him."

"Yo-ho~ The train is coming, brothers in front make way, we’re not responsible for any collisions, brothers who want to board message me privately, only 10 sacrificial power points per hour, guaranteed you’ll make your investment back, but limited to Fire Mages, because we’re the Train Flow."

"Ding, welcome aboard the Giant Snake Number train, departing from Emperor Tomb Village Station heading towards Flame City, close-combat players are not allowed to log on board the train, and smoking is forbidden, only Energy Absorption is allowed, please comply with train regulations, next stop: the little black room."

Over to the west corner of the battlefield.

Eight players are seated on the ground, guzzling Spiritual Recovery Potions, in turns summoning three Flowing Shadow Clones to launch attacks in a self-destructing manner.

"Hahaha, blew up two, I have the highest kill count this round, everyone transfers 10 sacrificial power points to me."

"Damn it, I only managed to blow them to low health, didn’t kill any, that’s just unscientific."

"You just got lucky, wait for my performance next round, I’ll blow up ten!"

"Damn bad luck, all the sacrificial power I’ve earned from killing Skyfire Warriors these past few days has been won away by you dogs."

Through successive self-destructions, and then checking the kill info in the team’s voice channel, the eight players started a betting game.

The view shifts toward the east.

Five stone-statue ghost players became the focus of this area.

They had all embedded the Taunt Soul trait.

Although this trait is powerful, it has limited effects against the Black Tide and Insect Tide.

But when facing the Skyfire Warriors, it’s remarkably effective.

"Feel the suffering, it’s yours, that brother with the Flame Sword, please enjoy the VCR."

As the effect of the Taunt Soul unfolded, the taunted Skyfire Clan Warrior’s body trembled instantly, and false memories constructed from memory began flooding his mind.

Unable to contain it, he let out an anguished roar, turning to charge at the player who activated the Taunt Soul.

"Look at me!"

Then, another player took over with Taunt.

Hatred shifted instantly, and this Skyfire Clan Warrior turned again, lunging at the most recently Taunt Soul-activating player.

Taunt was used in succession, continuously transferring the hatred.

In this process, the rage in the taunted Skyfire Warrior’s heart kept accumulating until he suddenly opened his mouth and spewed a ball of flame, then collapsed to the ground with the flames dissipating from his body, gasping violently, with a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Damn, Taunt Soul even has this effect? Is this emotional damage overflow?"

"Spitting blood, fury taken to heart, looks like he’s a bit overheated, we need a Fire Mage from the back to add fuel to the fire."

"Choosing us as your opponents, that just shows you’re too young, you dare to touch a team with five Taunt Souls, we’re going to teach you a good lesson today."

The Player Faction’s various abstract tactics are dazzling.

Besides these abstract tactics players, the main frontline’s style of fighting seemed quite normal.

Qi Sheng’s gaze shifted towards the main frontline:

A line of players, after activating the Roar trait, simultaneously let out roars towards the Skyfire Warriors attacking from the front:

"Roar."

The frenzied sonic waves momentarily caused groups of Skyfire Warriors to fall into a brief dazed state, and players at the back took the opportunity to strike decisively.

The Divine King responsible for commanding the front line was continually mobilizing the Warband players’ Battle Formation changes, making a fierce assault on the Skyfire Clan.

On this front line, players of different schools had clear roles, launching attacks, retreating, defending, and other combat actions following the commander’s orders.

However, the combat between the Player Faction and the Skyfire Clan overall could be described as "chaotic."

It can be seen that any tactic could be used by players on the battlefield, the scene is almost like a wild dance of devilry.

The battle’s continuation up to now resulted in the Skyfire Clan having lost nearly two-fifths of their fighting power; defeat is just a matter of time.

Inside the city, according to Guidance’s statistics, each of the 108 Energy Barytes contains energy which, after removing impurities and converting to sacrificial power, could amount to about 500,000 sacrificial power points.
