Cannot See Anyone
Despite his hard work, the betrayal of the White Nation players, and the fact that it took him so long to achieve victory, Xiao Fan won in just a few hours.
The difference is too great.
The second match made Zong Heng realize the reality.
Both teams invaded the enemy jungle at the start of the game, but his and Xiao Fan's Dragon Nation achieved completely different results.
They were utterly defeated!
This is even with a difference in numbers between the two sides.
The initial battle was so damaging that they are still feeling quite unwell.
As Saint Yuan Venerable's created skills are not problematic; the problem lies in his Profession.
They didn't have any healing- Profession Puppet, and they kept getting killed after taking damage from health packs. They should be sealed away now!
Without the recovery buff, killing a monster will quickly reduce your health to a dangerous level, forcing you to wait for your health to recover before attacking the next one.
It's so frustrating. They're only level 2 now. They can only reach level 3 after defeating all the monsters in front of them.
At this rate, let alone winning, we won't even be able to lose gracefully.
"What to do?"
Zong Heng was pondering this, suddenly, an arrow flew out from the bushes.
Right between the eyebrows!
Zong Heng's already meager health almost instantly plummeted!
"Ah! Jiu Chen is here again! Run!"
Zong Heng was shocked and nimbly rolled away, running into the distance.
He absolutely cannot die. If he dies, Jiu Chen will definitely seal him away.
He would rather do nothing than make a mistake.
At this moment, the other two Mirror City players also realized what was happening and quickly followed Zong Heng's footsteps, running towards the distance.
"Hahaha, caught them again! They're low on health, hurry and chase them!"
Brother Heartless was about to get up excitedly when Xiao Fan grabbed him.
"Don't move! Don't speak!"
Brother Heartless was pulled back, looking completely bewildered, but he dared not speak.
He couldn't understand it; weren't their goals for invading the jungle to kill people?
What a perfect opportunity! The enemy team was almost dead; they could have easily killed them all if they had gone in. Why did Jiu Chen, the great god, let them chase?
Seeing the confusion in Brother Heartless's eyes, Xiao Fan explained in a low voice.
"One of the players is aiming this way from the Cannon position."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Heartless glanced at the distant Cannon position and indeed saw a Mirror City player already controlling the Cannon and aiming it in their direction.
Brother Heartless patted his chest, secretly relieved that he hadn't chased after them.
This Cannon deals extremely high damage; at his current level, he'll be taken down in at most two hits.
"Great God Jiu Chen, how did you know there were people over there on the Cannon side?"
"Brother Heartless asked in a low voice."
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes.
"There were only three people fighting monsters here just now, and this place is within the Cannon's attack range, so it's obvious where that person is."
"These Mirror City players are shameless," Brother Heartless cursed angrily.
Xiao Fan:...
Players from Mirror City are indeed smarter than players from Black Nation; they even know to hide near the Cannon to cover their teammates while they fight monsters.
Fortunately, he hadn't originally planned to attack.
The three Zong Heng them scrambled and stumbled to the Cannon position.
"Why aren't you firing!"
Zong Heng plopped down behind the Cannon, panting heavily as he questioned the player controlling Cannon.
"Captain, I don't see anyone!"
The player controlling the Cannon said, feeling wronged.
"Are you blind? We were all ambushed, and you couldn't even see anyone! What use are you?"
Other players from Mirror City also cursed angrily.
The player controlling the Cannon felt even more aggrieved. He had been keeping a close eye on his team, and when he noticed they were being ambushed, he immediately looked around but couldn't see anyone!
"Get out of here!"
Zong Heng shoved the player controlling the Cannon aside, stepped forward, and aimed the Cannon at the spot where he had just been fighting monsters, but saw nothing there either.
"Strange, why is no one here?"
"Could they have run away? That shouldn't be possible... Our people have been watching them the whole time. Could it be...?"
Zong Heng glanced coldly at the player controlling the Cannon.
"Could this bastard be from the Liu Family faction?"
The Liu Family is also a top family in Mirror City, but they advocate supporting integration into other servers.
Zong Heng doesn't believe that the Dragon Nation players could ambush them and then escape undetected.
The only possibility is that the player controlling the Cannon was from the Liu Family's faction, and he deliberately pretended not to see it and let the Dragon Nation escape.
Thinking of this, Zong Heng's heart sank instantly.
They thought they were lucky, as the system had only selected players from their faction this time, but they didn't expect there to be a traitor hidden here.
That's fine too; if we lose, we can shift the blame.
The player controlling the Cannon was unaware that he had already been categorized as Zong Heng by the game's developers.
"Xiao Zhi, you control the Cannon."
After some thought, Zong Heng changed the person in charge of operating the Cannon.
This Xiao Zhi was someone he knew, and definitely belonged to their faction.
Although he already had someone to blame in mind, Zong Heng did not want to give up the game.
He decided to go kill more jungle monsters, in case the Dragon Nation player dared to ambush him again...
The tide of the game would turn instantly if the Cannon hit them.
With that thought in mind, Zong Heng, now fully healed, led the group back to the monster.
This time, they fought slowly, observing their surroundings as they went.
Even towards the end, Zong Heng sent someone to patrol the area and only continued fighting after confirming it was safe.
However, after they had reduced the monster to a sliver of health again, an arrow flew by, this time missing its mark between the eyebrows.
Instead, it shot directly at the monsters being attacked by the players from Mirror City.
The monster was killed by an arrow, and the players of Mirror City, who had worked so hard all day, had all their efforts in vain.
This time, without Zong Heng shouting, a group of people scrambled and stumbled towards the Cannon position once again.
"I didn't see it, I really didn't see it."
Xiao Zhi almost burst into tears. He had been intently aiming at his teammates, but all he saw was an arrow flying towards him; he couldn't see anyone at all.
Zong Heng's heart was ashen.
This time it's even worse than the last, the jungle monsters were stolen!
Xiao Zhi, whom he trusted, still hadn't seen the Dragon Nation players.
He was certain that Xiao Zhi wouldn't betray them, so why couldn't he see the players from the Dragon Nation?
Zong Heng so awful, I don't even know what to do right now.
Outside of the competition.
The players of Mirror City glared angrily at the Sky Screen.
"How shameless! How shameless!"
Just now, they saw three players from the Dragon Nation stick a bunch of twigs and leaves to their bodies.
Apart from the main hall, two main roads, and some special terrain features, the entire map is overgrown with weeds.
Dragon Nation players dressed like this, crouching in the grass, they practically blend into the environment!
They watched as the others went inside and couldn't find them, let alone the players from Mirror City inside.
Isn't this supposed to be a fair competitive game? Is this how players from Dragon Nation behave?
