Chapter 389 The Peak Is Approaching
"Three red dots were erased by a single Green Dot?" Everyone else was taken aback. "What happened?"
Wang Yifan explained, "Our projections didn't rush to attack this time. At the beginning, the three red dots kept their distance from the Green Dot on the other side, presumably using my ability to observe them."
"This situation lasted for about half an hour, and then two Green Dot on the other side, for some reason, separated from the main force and were caught and killed by our three red dots."
"But just as those two Green Dot died, another Green Dot rushed over from the opposite side, and then our three red dots disappeared..."
"That's it?" Zheng Yunshan asked in surprise. "How did that Green Dot get here? Didn't your three red dots react?"
"There's no reaction on the map..." Wang Shuwen said, "That Green Dot is moving at an unusually fast speed. If I couldn't vaguely see its trajectory, I would have thought it teleported here instantly."
"He should be the Peak on the other side," Luo Jun said. "In the last round, my Green Dot was probably killed by him too..."
"There can be... such a big difference?" Yu Shan, somewhat apprehensive.
"It's not just a difference in strength..." Grandma Li analyzed, "I reckon your projections have fallen into a trap. Those two lone Green Dot were there to lure you out, which is why the opposing Peak were able to arrive at the scene so quickly."
"Just to lure out three projections, two lives were sacrificed?" Zhu Xixi exclaimed in surprise, "Are the Polluter really that ruthless?"
"It's not necessarily a human death." Luo Jun shook his head. "Those two Green Dot are probably providing protection; they'll revive in the next round."
"So, you didn't get a single kill in this round?" Zhu Xixi blinked.
"Whether we've won or not, we'll know in the next game how many Green Dot the opposing team has." Yang Wenyue stroked his beard. "Let's quickly decide on the Attacker for the next game."
"If nothing unexpected happens, that Green Dot that wiped out three people in one go will turn into a red dot in the next match."
Team One now has ten members remaining. Luo Jun, Zhu Xixi, Yu Shan, Ma Lei, Wang Shuwen, and Wang Yifan have all been Attacker and were eliminated after one round. The remaining members are Xu Li, Li Xiuzhen, Yang Wenyue, and Zheng Yunshan. Xu Li and Li Xiuzhen have protection from others and are not afraid of being killed.
Yang Wenyue and Zheng Yunshan decided to stay as Attacker, leaving one spot remaining. Xu Li and Li Xiuzhen considered it and decided to both become defenders.
"This time, facing the Peak opponent, we are likely to suffer casualties. The two of us have the Undying Blessing, so staying behind can buy some opportunities for the others and reduce casualties."
The others expressed their gratitude for the two's choice. Although the rules required a certain number of team deaths, even in the event of failure, survivors were not required to enter the Annihilation Program. Therefore, in principle, maintaining one's own safety should be a higher priority than mission victory. The two's choice to stay was equivalent to helping the others overcome the difficulties together.
As for Luo Jun, he secretly used the Fate Peering Glasses to check the difficulty level. The difficulty of not encountering the Peak in this round is 100 points!
This level of difficulty indicates that it's not an impossible event, but the probability is extremely low.
In other words, the opposing team has the option of not letting their Peak player play, but their desire to let him play is very strong.
In this situation, there's no need to waste the tiny probability of winning with dice, and Luo Jun is prepared to face a Peak Attacker.
After leaving the station, the group headed straight for the Ancient Temple.
As the tallest building in the town, the ancient Ancient Pagoda offers the best view and is most likely to spot enemies early. After arriving at the Ancient Temple, Li Xiuzhen first released a large number of micro- Flying Insects as a warning. Then, Luo Jun set up Earth Construct in the courtyard of the Ancient Temple, trapping everyone inside. He then jumped to the top of the tower to guard the surroundings.
In terms of insight, Luo Jun admitted that he was probably no match for Wang Yifan, who was known for his Insight Faction. However, Wang Yifan only had one life, so it was best for him to stay protected inside the protective shield.
Luo Jun set up Longitudinal and Horizontal Giant Cannon atop the tower, and deployed Flame Turret around the Ancient Temple. His gaze swept across the entire town, not missing a single movement...
Once everything was ready and the time limit was up, the Attacker entered the field.
Wait, this is...
Luo Jun was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at the east side of the town. Just now, he had sensed a strong Vital Energy Wave coming from that direction!
So arrogant, so blatantly undisguised?
Before Luo Jun could react, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky above the entire town, with flashes of Thunder Light faintly visible...
Lightning Elemental School?
But this aura is Third Young Master Lei's, and it's no less impressive than Master's Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger back then... As expected of someone at the Peak, every move he makes is a grand spectacle!
Luo Jun didn't hesitate either, aiming the cannon at the direction of the strongest fluctuations and beginning a frenzied bombardment!
Boom boom boom boom boom...
The dazzling light blasts were unleashed as if they were free, almost instantly leveling the entire street. However, the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate. Lightning gathered, and with a crack, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Earth Shield directly. Although it did not shatter the shield, it still caused it to tremble violently!
Luo Jun frowned. Seeing that the dark clouds were still churning, he simply pointed the cannon at the sky and began to bombard the clouds!
A luminous blast exploded in the clouds, shattering the dense dark clouds and dissipating the lightning!
Just then, a roar suddenly came from afar. Luo Jun turned his head and saw a Scarlet Dragon flapping its wings and soaring into the air, flying towards them!
Luo Jun immediately aimed the cannon at the giant dragon and continued firing, but after only a few shots, a cracking sound suddenly came from beneath his feet, and then the entire tower shook, collapsed, and crumbled!
After all, it was an ancient building that had weathered many years of storms. Although it had been repaired, its strength was still limited. After being bombarded by Luo Jun's Longitudinal and Horizontal Giant Cannon, the Ancient Pagoda finally could not withstand the powerful recoil and collapsed with a crash.
Luo Jun retracted the Longitudinal and Horizontal Giant Cannon in mid-air. At this moment, the giant dragon had already flown up to him and Flame Breath at the backyard of the Ancient Temple!
This giant dragon was a hundred meters long, and its head was as big as a double-decker bus. The flames it spewed from its open mouth swallowed the entire courtyard and even the collapsed Ancient Pagoda!
Wow, amazing... Summoned Creature from the Creation Faction? Or a master of the Shapeshifting Faction?
Surrounded by flames, Luo Jun kicked off the ancient Ancient Pagoda ruins in mid-air and charged straight towards the giant dragon!
With a whoosh, the blade formed from Gathering Origin Protective Qi sliced through the dragon's scales, leaving a terrible wound on its neck, causing the monster to turn its head away and interrupting its Flame Breath.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Jun climbed onto the back of the dragon's neck and unleashed his full power to attack!
With a crack, the dragon couldn't withstand the attack; its neck was almost broken. Then, its entire body began to convulse violently, shrinking until finally revealing the figure of a woman...
Upon seeing the woman's face clearly, Luo Jun's eyes widened in surprise.
"That is..."
