Chapter 165
Chapter 165: Qin Ruo Is a Bad Guy!
Among the players, there were not many Elementalists, and some of them were resurrected by the Radiant Priest. After resting for some time, they quickly set up a barrier when the surrounding players started to move and began approaching the Wintry Vajra as well as the Ice Pythons and the Snow Giant that were in front of it.
It seemed as if the players present were all clear that with their individual party’s capabilities, it was impossible for them to fight the Wintry Vajra. So from the beginning, all Elementalists gathered and took the lead to kill several Ice Pythons.
When they reached the Snow Giant, the Wintry Vajra that was a few hundred meters away finally roared and charged at them instinctively.
The moment the Wintry Vajra darted from the small iceberg, the group of players went completely berserk, “Quick!”
“Check if there’s Frost Lotus!”
“F*ck! Run faster!”
Amidst the rebuke, dozens of players dashed out from the sides toward the iceberg behind Wintry Vajra. Dodging the Wintry Vajra, they went all out for the land filled with dozens of herbs.
Over here, players who were facing the Wintry Vajra ran for their lives. Only a few players who had not reacted, stayed put and continued casting magic… until they realized that the counterattack of the Snow Giant that they were attacking struck them in an increasingly powerful manner and before the Snow Giant reached them, only did the few of them notice that there were barely any “reinforcements” left. One by one, they all ran away.
Amidst the cursing, players started to fall.
However, the fleeing players were not to be blamed. Players who came to the Snow Domain were all clear that the Wintry Vajra, which possessed the capability of a Tier 4 Elite Miniboss, had tremendous Defense and was notoriously difficult to deal with. Contrary to what was expected, its Movement Speed was very high, making it impossible for normal player parties to handle it, as anyone who blocked its path would be killed. Moreover, there were still four Tier 4 Snow Giants with intermediate abilities left and had similarly had high resistance against attacks. If they did not leave now, they might get killed.
They were here was not because of the Wintry Vajra, but because of the herbs guarded by the Wintry Vajra.
Before the clan party arrived, they had to act fast and divert the Wintry Vajra to create enough time for their partners to get their hands on those highly valuable herbs.
Although everyone had a very good plan, one thing was for sure—things did not always work out as planned.
The great number of parties showing up here had split the few herbs into many portions. And yet, all of them risked losing a level and their equipment, causing disparities in proportion between contributions and gains. Besides, after the Wintry Vajra got to one of the parties, it gave roared out in rage attracting the attention of the four Snow Giants and making them turn around and charge toward the players who had just reached the small iceberg.
“F*ck!”
Qin Ruo cursed when he saw the Snow Giants suddenly being instructed by the Wintry Vajra to return.
He was among the players who dashed toward the iceberg. Due to his slightly slower Movement Speed, he was instantly targeted by the four Snow Giants. That particular horrid sensation of being chased filled his entire soul, and it was not pleasant.
Now, Qin Ruo finally knew why people never sent Elementalists to gather—people with low Movement Speed were really at a disadvantage, as they would just be cannon fodder.
However Qin Ruo was not a good man with perfect moral character. The moment he came near the iceberg, he quickly felt the presence of the Beastblood Berserker, through the Elemental Perception. His hands were wrapped in yellow light and were busily working on a Frost Flower Vine, while he kept glancing nervously at the progress of the players around him and the Frost Lotus by the side, which had not been targeted.
‘Damn!’
* *
‘Shameless!’
* *
‘A person with Intermediate Rank Gathering also came to forage a high-grade herb, what a waste! Shameless!’
Without any hesitation, Qin Ruo directly drew a Frostrampart from the iceberg.
“Explode!”
The ice and snow violently exploded like a torrential flood toward the players surrounding the iceberg who were busy foraging…
‘Hehe, stopped them all!’
The system warning of Hostile Attack on players rang continuously. However, Qin Ruo ignored them and activated Aquamorph the moment Frostburst exploded.
“F*ck!”
“Who is Qin Ruo? You son of a bitch!”
“Don’t you dare think about getting the herbs after preventing me from getting it!”
“Why talk so much to him? Kill him once he shows up!” The players who failed at gathering midway kept cursing. One after another, they hastened angrily from the snow, waiting for it to go away.
However a few unlucky ones accidentally bumped into the four Snow Giants who had approached.
The Snow Giants were after all humanoid monsters, with intelligence that was higher than that of normal monsters. Once human players entered their attack range, they would immediately hurl a physical two-diameter snowball at them.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
Several players were directly hit and flung away. A Bandit player with low HP instantly died and unfortunately even dropped a piece of equipment.
The Snow Giants did not slow down. They immediately strode over.
A Beastblood Berserker who was hiding behind the iceberg was at first murderously thinking of ways to kill Qin Ruo, who interrupted him while he was foraging the Frost Flower Vine. Yet after looking around for a long time, he failed to find Qin Ruo. Even after the ice and snow had cleared and the surroundings became calm again, he still did not see him—it was as if he just disappeared into thin air.
Right at this moment, something more depressing happened!
Several players near him were either killed or were hurled through the air. The few remaining players were also running for their lives and to his surprise, the Snow Giants were charging toward him…
“F*ck!”
When Beastblood Berserker saw that the Snow Giants were running toward him with murderous intent in their eyes, he immediately gave up on gathering and decided to save himself. The Attack and Defense of the Snow Giants were a lot stronger than that of the Ice Pythons, so if the four of them attacked him, he would not be able to defend at all.
However once he turned around, a Frostrampart suddenly rose from the snow in front of him, blocking his way…
The Beastblood Berserker immediately halted. Driven by inertia, his body rammed into the Frostrampart uncontrollably.
‘Damn, what’s happening?’
Boom!
Just a little blockade, then a huge snowball flew from behind.
Beastblood Berserker was sent flying with the Frostrampart that suddenly appeared in front of him. Together with shattered ice, he was hurled a couple of meters away.
Fortunately, Beastblood Berserker initiated Berserk at that very moment or he would have had received a head-on attack from the Snow Giants. That would very likely have sent him into a state of stun.
Horrified, he got up from the ground and started running away without even using any healing potion. However before he could run any further, another Frostrampart appeared, blocking him.
“F*ck you!”
This time, Beastblood Berserker knew that someone was deliberately playing a trick on him. Who else would try to harm him if not for that Tier 4 Aquamancer Qin Ruo? This kind of trick was too familiar! After cursing angrily, Beastblood Berserker smashed the Frostrampart in front to pieces with a swing of an axe.
Plink!
* *
A second Frostrampart instantly appeared!
His path was once again blocked and he was so furious that he almost vomited blood. At the same time, he felt a shudder. He had witnessed Qin Ruo’s speed of manipulating Frostramparts before and he was not really impressed back then. He only realized that the Elementalist at this tier was so terrifying when this trick was pulled on him. A knife without blood sends a chill down people’s spine.
After failing at several attempts to free himself from the blockage, the four Snow Giants entered the within thirty meters of Beastblood Berserker. One after another, snowballs were thrown at him at high speed.
“… F*ck your ancestors!”
Under the powerful attack from four the Snow Giants, Beastblood Berserker only had time to curse and before he was hit and was sent flying off of his feet. At last he fell lifelessly onto the snow, covered in shattered ice and was then, smashed to death by the Snow Giants!
***
Rawghhh!
While the treasure land of an iceberg was messed up by Qin Ruo and the Snow Giants, the Wintry Vajra was not sitting by idly either. Taking advantage of its super-high speed, it chased after a group of players, attacking and killing dozens of players.
A few parties angrily ran away in all directions to lure the Ice Pythons and Yetis from far away with the aim of dying together, as they had lost their people who were foraging herb.
Disaster befell—several Snow Pythons and Yetis that were level-farming ran over in group as if they saw beautiful girls.
Fortunately Qin Ruo found out the change in the situation over there in time and the situation in which Violetmoon Devilite and others were going to face. Once he saw the unfavorable situation, he immediately sent a voice message to them, asking them to escape.
Violetmoon Devilite and others lost track of Qin Ruo the moment Frostburst exploded. Afterward when they saw the arrogant Beastblood Berserker being blocked by Frostramparts, they instinctively knew that Qin Ruo was able to protect himself. Therefore, after they had received the instruction from Qin Ruo, the three of them immediately used the Return Scroll to escape.
However, this time they got it wrong. Even though Qin Ruo was very confident with himself, he did not expect to see that these players would be so disorganized and that the four Snow Giants would only follow him around. These Snow Giants even ignored his Water Element status.
After killing players that were nearby the iceberg, Qin Ruo suddenly realized that, in order to gather herbs around the iceberg, he needed to kill all four of these Level 45 big guys alone.
“It’s time to use that skill.”
Qin Ruo stepped back as his lips curved up in a strange smile.
