The two players seemed to sense the pursuit from behind. What was most terrifying was that as they ran, a small ring would fly over and land at their feet with a ding.
Sometimes the explosions happen almost in mid-air.
Boom--
Another loud bang struck, and the woman was immediately affected, staggering.
In her haste, she turned around, took out a thin iron needle from her waist, and flicked it, sending it flying towards Li Yuan, who was chasing in the lead.
Pfft!
By the time he realized the danger, he had already been hit in the abdomen.
The thin needle had penetrated most of the way in, and a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. He quickly pulled the needle out, feeling an indescribable numbness, and his heart tightened.
"It looks like it's been coated with poison."
"Drink the Water of Purification," Miss Cannon 6 suggested during the conversation.
So Li Yuan stopped, hid behind the house, took out the unfinished potion, and took a big gulp.
The pain in his stomach immediately subsided, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I never imagined this thing could even cure toxins."
This means that in addition to the blood-purifying medicine, there is also an antidote.
"Hit."
The female player who hit her target didn't have time to check the result; she just breathed a sigh of relief and continued running away.
Her weapon contains a potent poison. Although her melee combat skills are poor, she has used this underhanded tactic to kill many monsters in dungeons.
Not long ago, she entered the Main World and was fortunate enough to obtain a peasant building from a certain species at the start. With the support of her poison needles, her subordinates not only suffered no losses but also gradually grew stronger. It was precisely this skill that made her the core of her rookie squad.
It can be said that using ranged skills to poison enemies in order to survive and die has always been her strategy.
If nothing unexpected happens, the target who receives this attack will also die.
Her confidence stemmed from the fact that no enemy had ever survived the poison needle attack. Even if they managed to hold out for a short time, they would inevitably die within two days, and during the period of poisoning, their individual combat ability would be drastically affected.
"They haven't caught up yet."
After running for a while, the female player who used the poison looked back and involuntarily stopped.
"Your attack is truly formidable. Those bandits couldn't withstand it before, and now even these dangerous opponents can't hold on." The middle-aged man who used the talisman was still somewhat shaken.
He's 50 years old, and in a few years he'll be old, yet he still has to fight to the death in dangerous dungeons. He's speechless.
"This enemy is truly unprecedented. The items they throw are beyond what physical strength can withstand. I have six talismans left, three of which can help us block the items they throw, so you must take them out before then," the man said solemnly to the woman beside him who was using poison needles.
"I understand. We've lost two teammates, which I never expected. I didn't anticipate such dangerous enemies in this instance... Speaking of which, have you encountered similar opponents before?"
The man shook his head very directly.
"It seems this is the first time we've all encountered this," the woman said with a wry smile. "I don't have many other ways to deal with it. This poison is made from an expensive material in the Main World, and I only carry a limited amount with me. We'll have to be careful in the upcoming battle."
After a brief exchange, the players have already marked the locations of the Cannon Fodder No. 6 and others on the player map.
With 5 against 4, she believed victory was assured, but considering the enemy's superior tactics, she needed to be cautious in the upcoming battle to avoid unnecessary losses.
"Let's each exchange for two more Explosion Ring. Even if we can't use them now, we can save them for later."
"Good."
The group stopped and stood under a tree.
Miss Pao handed the props to the group of people.
"Next, everyone, pay attention: don't be stingy with the props. You can make it back anyway. I'm going to bury some more rings now."
The first time, I threw it directly to the ground, which was to conclude that the enemy was unaware of the situation.
This time, the other side is definitely not that stupid. They probably won't step on the fallen leaves or anything like that on the ground.
Because Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 set up a very insidious trap.
There were many leaves scattered on the ground, but only two leaves had rings underneath, and they were quite obvious.
Large tracts of land were bare of leaves, yet the ring was buried in the soil.
"Everyone can bury one themselves."
"Okay, a minefield, right?"
He Jinwei seemed a little excited.
For them, today's battle was indeed full of passion, mainly because the soul transmigration did not require them to worry about death. Therefore, after losing their fear and timidity, everyone's combat level was greatly improved.
The Water of Purification can significantly reduce pain and maintain its effect for at least several hours, which means that ordinary pain will not interfere with the thinking ability and efficiency of the Dusk members.
They secretly planted rings around the battlefield.
Not long after, the opposing players seemed to have made some preparations and launched a direct attack.
Swoosh—
Guan Meng, who was being deliberately dragged out as a target to attract the enemy, suddenly felt a slight pain in her neck and realized that a thin needle had pierced her neck.
She grabbed the needle and pulled it out sharply, and thick blood plasma gushed out from the wound.
He wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a sound. His throat was completely injured, his major artery ruptured, and he was bleeding profusely.
The spray of blood quickly slowed down, thanks to the lingering effects of the Water of Purification she had drunk earlier. But that wasn't enough; a ruptured artery was a very serious injury. She staggered to the back of the house, opened her water bottle, and gulped down several mouthfuls.
When her consciousness was already very blurred, her lost senses quickly returned, and she realized that the medicine had saved her, not only stopping the arterial bleeding but also stopping the toxins that had invaded her brain.
At this moment, the woman rushed forward.
When she reached the corner and saw the indigenous woman standing unharmed before her, having dropped the blood vial, her expression clearly froze for a mere half-second.
In that short time, Guan Meng had a chance to react, and she immediately dragged herself through the door next to her.
The female player was a little confused about life, and quickly followed to the entrance of the house.
He picked up a needle and looked nervously into it, only to find that it was empty and the back door was open. The enemy who had been pricked by his needle (but pulled it out) had already escaped through the back door.
Boom!
To her surprise, at that very moment, a terrifying explosion suddenly rang out at her feet.
An explosive ring stuck inside the wooden door was suddenly detonated.
That was triggered by Guan Meng using her mental power from 6 meters away behind the wall; that's the farthest distance a person can influence.
How could a flesh and blood body withstand such an impact?
The wooden plank shattered instantly, and the shockwave severed her fragile neck, sending her flying several meters before she crashed to the ground, a shower of debris flying out and scattering across the floor.
Your teammate has been eliminated!
The middle-aged man in the distance was completely dumbfounded.
You see, he had a lot of confidence in the women's fighting ability. Although he was a little uneasy, he still found it hard to accept that the mission was so difficult and that the entire group was wiped out so quickly.
After analyzing his current situation, he immediately lost his fighting spirit.
But after looking at the current task status...
This is the main storyline.
Moreover, the time limit is 12 hours, which means that if you fail, you will lose Exchange Points. If you don't have enough Exchange Points, the consequences will be dire.
If you don't finish during this period, you'll stay here indefinitely.
Even if those rivals continue to come looking for you, and you choose to run away, it would be difficult to survive alone in this dangerous world.
His face looked extremely pale.
After taking out a defensive talisman and applying it around his body, he was considering moving away from the scene when, unexpectedly, the enemies from before circled around from another direction.
She is a short-haired girl dressed in modern clothes.
"Among the enemy, this guy seems to be the most modern?"
He threw a talisman at the other party and then turned and ran.
The talisman flew out of his hand and transformed into a bird that flew towards them.
Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 threw out an Explosion Ring, which exploded 20 meters away from her, taking the bird with her.
"Luckily, I have the Mystic Thread to measure distance, otherwise I might not have been able to throw it accurately."
After doing that, she began to pursue her target.
With his escape route blocked, the man could only flee towards the defensive line of the other Dusk members. He was very vigilant and decisively avoided the leaves on the ground, thus avoiding the most easily spotted Explosion Ring.
But at this crucial moment of escape, this guy never expected that, in a single instant, explosions would occur simultaneously from both his front and back.
It was Li Yuan's ring that had the desired effect.
After the loud explosion, the last enemy was also killed, and the reward was distributed.
The person who received the most rewards in this battle was undoubtedly Guan Meng, who killed the enemy's strongest woman, followed by Li Yuan.
Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 only needed to draw water, so there was no further deduction of points.
Everyone wore expressions of joy.
After retrieving the Explosion Ring buried nearby, they arrived next to Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 and found that she had found three poison needles and two talismans inside the corpse.
"This thing is not bad, but it doesn't seem very useful. Do you want to exchange it for points from Dusk, or keep it for your own use?" she asked.
"Let's exchange it for points."
Leveling up is important, but improving your attributes as soon as possible is obviously more important.
"OK".
Then I exchanged 50 points and distributed them to everyone.
The value mainly comes from the toxins mentioned above; judging from the description, they seem to be something of considerable value in the Main World.
Talisman paper is a consumable item made through some means, and its effects are not very good, not to mention that there is no method for making it.
"Then let's continue with the mission and gather intelligence."
The bandits have already been dealt with by those players, so the questline has been changed to "invalid".
But the main storyline is still useful.
"What are your thoughts next, Boss?" Li Yuan had already started calling Miss Cannon Six "Boss".
This girl with shoulder-length short hair is not only stunningly beautiful, but also quite capable. At least the move she made while chasing the enemy was something none of them could pull off.
Level 2 members are indeed extraordinary.
"My idea is that your bodies are from another soul, meaning you're essentially consumables. So, actively probing the strength of the enemy in this world—that is, one of the warring parties—even if you die, you'll still gain very useful intelligence." Miss Cannon 6 looked at her eldest sister and smiled. "But death is a bit of a challenge, you know. Are you willing to give it a try?"
"Will I really not die if I die after being transported to another world? Even though Dusk gave me a warning, I'm still a little scared," He Jinwei muttered.
"It's alright, I've already experienced it." Miss Cannon 6 sighed. "If I hadn't not been a soul-transmigrated person this time, I would have definitely come and try it with you guys."
"In that case, let's all come together. Miss, you don't need to take the risk."
"Well then, I wish you all success. You can try using the Explosion Ring."
Under the "bewitchment" of Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6, these team members began to advance in the direction of the enemy's attack.
Instead of encountering a regular enemy, they ran into a group of armed, ragged refugees.
After the battle, Guan Meng and Gao Cen were killed in action.
They then realized that once they ran out of weapons like the Explosion Ring, they wouldn't even be able to defeat ordinary civilians in a direct confrontation.
Even so, the battle was still a win.
The ring killed two enemies, and a third was killed in the battle, while the rest were scared away.
The other two members of Dusk were also killed by bandits on their own soil, meaning they were wiped out before even seeing the real army of this world.
"But... in any case, it still revealed the strength of some local individuals."
Ye Qian gave out a decent points reward, and then temporarily left the scene.
