Butcher: The Bulwark of the Defensive Line
Without the protection of the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier, Feng Zi'ang was attacked again by Yu Ting and Zhang Yubin. A Frost Shard and a sharp arrow took away his last Life Value.
Jinghai University suffered its first loss. Shandong University's teamwork was excellent; the spot where Feng Zi'ang was thrown and landed was right in the middle of Yu Ting, Ice Spike, and Zhang Yubin's arrows, without even a chance to cast a shield or Heal Minor Wounds.
After eliminating the support player, Shandong University's morale soared.
After throwing Feng Zi'ang aside, Bao Yiming didn't stop and rushed straight at Bai Xiaowen!
At this moment, Bai Xiaowen had no summoned creatures by his side, making him appear isolated and vulnerable. If Bao Yiming were to get close, his fate would be predictable.
Li Shuyi and Han Xu, however, were chasing after the three Shandong University players at the rear and showed no intention of coming to their aid. Xiang Hui was nowhere to be seen either.
"Why aren't they defending? Once Bai Xiaowen is dead, they'll be powerless to resist! It's worth it even if I have to use all my skills!" Bao Yiming thought to himself.
Unlike Bai Xiaowen, Summoner Class with strong sustained combat ability, Bao Yiming, Street Fighter Grappler, will become a blank slate capable of only normal attacks within a few minutes after using up one dash skill and three wrestling skills, greatly reducing his threat level.
Of course, due to the LV4 passive skill "By Any Means Necessary Desperation," Bao Yiming's attacks have a chance to inflict control effects, making him stronger than a super minion. However, don't forget that Bao Yiming's agility is only 17 points, making it difficult to even successfully hit an opponent, let alone hit a specific part.
But as long as we can take down Bai Xiaowen, it will definitely be worth it.
Just as Bao Yiming approached Bai Xiaowen, Bai Xiaowen's figure suddenly flickered, as if an invisible thread was pulling her, dragging Bai Xiaowen through the air across a hundred meters! Bao Yiming instinctively reached out to grab her, but only managed to grasp empty air.
"This is... a movement skill? No! Bai Xiaowen doesn't have this skill..." Bao Yiming turned around in a daze, only to see Bai Xiaowen actually leap over a hundred meters through the air and arrive next to Li Shuyi.
Yu Ting said hurriedly, "This is... a squad skill after permanent team formation, Tether..." She clearly had some kind of detection skill, similar to Bai Xiaowen's Insight effect, which could obtain corresponding skill information from the opponent's actions.
However, Yu Ting only went this far.
The moment Bai Xiaowen landed, the tide of battle turned. He raised his hand and summoned Rageclaw and Kitz, and together with Li Shuyi and Han Xu, launched Ambush on the three fragile players at the back of Shandong University.
Bai Xiaowen raised his right hand, and a burst of flames burned in his palm.
"Be careful, this belongs to the Kusanagi Family..."
Boom!
A torrent of flames roared forth, and the Orochi Nagi swept in instantly.
Yu Ting used her teleportation ability; her boots flashed, and she teleported to a steep cliff to the side. This tall, beautiful woman was able to accurately find a safe and easy-to-defend location as her teleportation target even in a dangerous situation; her mind was indeed meticulous.
However, Zhang Yubin wasn't so lucky. He had already used up his mobility skills and was trapped with no way to escape. As for the support Mi Yuan, she didn't have any mobility abilities to begin with, and her boots only provided a speed boost...
The two of them were hit squarely by the Orochi Nagi, their Life Value plummeted, and they were left with Burn Status. Facing the combined assault from Li Shuyi, Rageclaw, Han Xu, and Kitz, their chances of survival were slim.
The Orochi Nagi, a technique from the Kusanagi-Style Ancient Martial Arts, is not a secret weapon; it's also used by the Spirit Channeling Prince character on the Player Platform. Bai Xiaowen didn't use the more powerful, Super Orochi Nagi, partly to conceal his trump card.
In addition, as an area-of-effect damage skill, Orochi Nagi will not trigger the Blood Essence Stone's Killing Thirst skill.
On the other side of the battlefield, Bao Yiming, realizing he had been tricked, turned around and charged towards the battle, trying to rescue his teammates.
However, they encountered Fatty halfway there...
The Butcher chuckled foolishly, then immediately activated its Rot skill! Its massive size made it a massive barrier in front of the narrow passage, like a bloody gate. Bao Yiming, lacking agility, had virtually no chance of getting over it under the Butcher's interference and could only confront it head-on.
"Get out of my way!"
Bao Yiming grabbed the Fatty's waist with both hands, exhaled and shouted, and unleashed a move that Lift the Fire to Scorch the Sky!
Then... the Fatty didn't move an inch.
Bao Yiming received a hint:
"Target size is too large, the Lift-the-Fire-to-Heaven Style ' grab attempt failed..."
The skill failed, but the cooldown time and consumed Divine Might were not refunded. Bao Yiming's frustration was palpable.
In fact, Bao Yiming knew that enemies of a large size had an extra bonus to resisting grabs. When he occasionally encountered bosses in the Spirit Realm, such as the Demonized Tree or the Jungle Giant Lizard, his grabs would fail.
However, the Butcher is just a summoned creature! Just Elite Template! Bao Yiming instinctively felt that the Butcher definitely couldn't withstand his throw, and in his anxiety to rescue his teammates, he instinctively wanted to throw the Butcher aside...
His recent Savage Charge knocked the Butcher back only fueled his contempt for Butcher.
In fact, the Butcher's strength was far lower than his, but the fact that he was only "knocked Charge" instead of "knocked away" by the butcher's charge was already telling. However, Bao Yiming did not notice this, but Bai Xiaowen keenly noticed it, which is why he had the Butcher intercept Bao Yiming, and it worked wonders.
The Savage Charge skill is currently on cooldown, and the Throwing skill is ineffective against the Butcher! Bao Yiming can only rely on his own fists, beating the Butcher punch by punch...
Butcher's Life Value is as high as 600 points. After upgrading, the original negative effect of "armor and magic resistance are zero by default" is also gone. He is a real thick flesh shield. Although Bao Yiming's normal attack is heavy, the attack frequency is not fast. Butcher is not afraid of fighting him.
Although Bao Yiming has a powerful passive ability that reduces physical damage by 20%, the Butcher's Rot damage is poison damage (magic type), which is immune to this damage reduction! Bao Yiming's body was invaded by purple mist, and his Life Value was slowly dropping. Moreover, as the Rot layers stacked, his health dropped faster and faster.
This brief exchange was swift and decisive, like a rabbit leaping and a falcon gliding.
Meanwhile, Yu Ting, who had used her blink ability to reach a steep cliff, was taking a deep breath, preparing to cast a spell.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and a lithe figure swung over like Taishan, riding a grappling hook – it was Xiang Hui!
With the Thunderforged Grappling Hook Gun retracted, Xiang Hui nimbly landed behind Yu Ting. The Whirling Twin Blades overlapped and slashed upwards, catching Yu Ting off guard and causing her to splatter blood on her body, instantly adding two more layers of bleeding status.
