Ambush Long in the Making

In an information-rich world, especially with the availability of Psionic Camera, it's quite simple to capture a video and upload it online. As long as there are Psionic Particles, Psionic Receiver scattered across the Earth can receive the images transmitted by the camera.

In fact, that's exactly what Bai Xiaowen did. During this adventure in the Wilderness Zone, he kept his Psionic Camera on to record the battles. He could then review his combat footage to improve his weaknesses.

As for the recorded videos, they were simultaneously sent to Bai Xiaowen's Virtual Community personal space. Besides Bai Xiaowen herself, only Sister Zheng had permission to view the videos— Sister Zheng often needed to edit videos and post them online to help Bai Xiaowen gain popularity, but that's another story.

Also, this Psionic Camera is a high-end product worth over 4 million, and it has an invisibility function.

After the battle in Spider Demon Valley, Bai Xiaowen turned off the camera's recording function. Now, suddenly Ambush, he immediately turned on the Psionic Camera to record.

The four who Ambush must have known this, which is why they were so well-covered.

Of course, if Bai Xiaowen and his companion manage to escape, no matter how well they conceal themselves now, it will be useless. The battle information provided by the Spirit Realm Rules has already revealed their names. At that time, Bai Xiaowen only needs to submit the battle information to the Awakened Association to locate these individuals.

"This was a premeditated revenge killing!"

The thought flashed through Bai Xiaowen's mind, and he shouted, "Are you from the Boutu Guild?" He quickly threw out four Insight.

The four didn't respond at all, their attacks continued without pause, and two more Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier were blown to Bone Shatter while trying to protect Bai Xiaowen.

However, in that instant, Bai Xiaowen's Super Brain had already received the information on the four people.

The four Ambush were all High Elite Tier, with the lowest level among them being level 8!

The person appearing behind Bai Xiaowen was named "Li Yingjie," a standard assassin archetype.

The awakened one who tried to shoot Li Shuyi at the very beginning is called "Chen Tianyou". Judging from his skills, he is a ranged archer who is good at Snipe.

Zhao You, an awakened individual who uses the War Shackles, is a Mental Specialist whose main strength lies in control skills.

The last awakened one was named "Zhang Zhan". Although he was thin, he was a level 9 strength-type awakened one! He was also the Yi-Yi level 9 expert among the four, while the other three were level 8.

The four men had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly, clearly forming an extremely skilled Assassination squad.

One-on-one, they might be similar to the Elite Tier natives of the same Spirit Realm Plane, but when the four of them act together, their threat level far exceeds that of four High Elite Tier monsters!

The reason these people approached without being detected by Bai Xiaowen's Mental Scan was due to Zhao You's combat skill "Refraction," a skill possessed by those with Mental Specialist! It allows a group to become invisible, and for friendly units that already possess invisibility skills, the Refraction effect isn't wasted; instead, it increases their invisibility priority!

Li Yingjie's stealth skill would have been detected by Bai Xiaowen Bai Xiaowen once he got close enough to be within a certain range. However, with the added benefit of Refraction, his priority was increased, allowing him to get as close as one meter behind Bai Xiaowen.

For a skilled Assassination, getting within three feet of their opponent means the opponent is already dead.

--If it weren't for the Doom Prophecy of the Doom Bracelet, Bai Xiaowen would definitely have been ambushed. Even with Life Sharing, he would have suffered damage equivalent to his maximum Life Value, which would then be split between him and the Rageclaw, resulting in a severe blow.

Apart from the assassin Li Yingjie, the other three did not possess stealth abilities, so they did not get too close. Instead, they launched their attack at the same time Li Yingjie made his move.

The moment Bai Xiaowen confirmed the information of the four people, he took a breath and activated his Intimidation skill.

All four people froze simultaneously!

Bai Xiaowen raised his Desert Eagle and fired a shot at Li Yingjie! The battle in Spider Demon Valley had ended more than an hour ago, and his Critical Hit rate was now close to 100%. Considering Bai Xiaowen's own Critical Hit rate and the Critical Hit bonus from the Elite Tier Squad's LV2 Brutality effect, this shot also had a 100% Critical Hit!

Boom!

A gunshot rang out, but what remained was a dry wooden stake, from which wisps of smoke rose.

"The Substitute Ninja Li Yingjie used the item: Natto (ripe), and was freed from his Fear Status!"

"Li Yingjie's professional skill Substitute Ninja: Substitute Puppet Activation..."

If it were Spirit Realm creature, it would rarely use items to break free from control effects, and could only rely on its extra Life Value to withstand attacks (High Elite Tier and above templates have an extra Life Value), so Bai Xiaowen's shot would definitely hit. However, the combat of an awakened being is much more flexible than that of the Spirit Realm creature, and they have more methods.

Li Yingjie flashed behind Bai Xiaowen and silently thrust his dagger towards the back of Bai Xiaowen's neck.

On the other side, Rageclaw was also hit by Zhao You's Imprisonment skill, Mental Specialist, and could not move for five seconds. Although Zhao You was also hit by the Intimidation, he also used a control-breaking item. He pushed his hands out, and a black energy shot towards Bai Xiaowen like an arrow.

Zhang Zhan, a level 9 Strength specialist, also used a control-breaking item, and his two heavy hammers drew a vicious arc as he launched a heavy attack on Bai Xiaowen! His heavy attack was clearly upgraded to LV7 or higher, and his two-handed hammer specialization was also high enough. This attack brought with it a heavy and powerful wind pressure, giving people the illusion that it was impossible to avoid!

Snipe Chen Tianyou was the Yi-Yi who didn't immediately use the anti-fear item. He silently counted the duration of his fear, and there were still 4 seconds left. His Snipe skills had already been passed on to Li Shuyi, so even if he were to use the anti-fear item in the short term, it wouldn't make much difference.

Three awakened individuals launched a joint attack on Bai Xiaowen.

At this moment, the three Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier beside Bai Xiaowen had all been reduced to Bone Shatter.

The Rageclaw were several meters away, still Imprisonment.

Isolated and helpless.

The four Ambush ' eyes were filled with murderous intent. As Advanced Awakened, their equipment was naturally excellent, and each of their attacks could inflict over a hundred points of damage! How could Bai Xiaowen, a level 5 Awakened One, even as Hero Class, possibly survive?

Especially since Zhang Zhan's heavy hammer had already locked onto him, leaving the opponent no room to dodge.

Swish!

The next second, a phantom flashed by, and all three attacks missed their mark.

Li Shuyi used her squad skill, "Tether," to pull Bai Xiaowen to her side at the last second.

This kind of tacit cooperation is quite common for the two of them.

Bai Xiaowen smiled.

"Although I won't die if I just tough it out... it's still a win to avoid hundreds of damage by using a squad skill. Shu Yi, you take the Snipe. I'll take these three!"

I'm feeling hot and bothered, kind of like rhinitis, sneezing non-stop. I'm really not feeling well. Just one update today... Sorry, I have to go to the hospital tomorrow...
