Like Rats in a Trap

Because the game "War of the Gods" had just started its open beta, most players were at low levels. As a result, places like the Death Wilderness, which are beginner leveling areas, were packed with people. This led to a situation common in many new games: too many players and too few monsters.

In this situation, adventurers usually don't form large groups to travel together, because that would mean sharing too little experience. So they usually travel in groups of two or three, and many even travel alone to level up.

In this way, the ambush team of ten Undead can easily win.

Next, things went very smoothly. Xiao Yu led the Undead to use the same method and quickly wiped out several more adventurer teams.

One was a duo of two Warriors, another was a trio, and in addition, there were several solo players.

Once these unfortunate adventurers are lured into the houses, facing an attack by a horde of Undead, none of them can escape alive. The houses are like an invisible maw, constantly devouring the lives of the adventurers.

Xiao Yu leveled up until midnight, when a golden light flashed around him, and he reached level two.

Even he leveled up to level two, so naturally everyone else leveled up as well, with the highest reaching level three.

However, the team members also underwent some changes. Although they were able to win every battle despite having more players than others, two of them still died. Therefore, they teamed up with two Undead players who happened to be passing by, and the team remained in a state of constant complaining.

As usual, three ghosts were sent out to scout, and soon the Shadow reported back that they had found new adventurers, and even better news was that they had finally found the location of a demon hunter.

Xiao Yu thought to himself that he had finally found it. Although leveling up this way was not bad, he was still a little annoyed that he hadn't done any advanced quests.

"Then let's lure them over."

"That adventurer is a Priest, and he seems pretty powerful."

"What's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful he is, he's just one person. Just lure him over quickly."

Xiao Yu had already established his authority in these battles, so the shadow nodded after hearing her words and drifted away.

"Everyone get ready. Same old routine: slam the door shut and beat them as soon as they walk in."

Before long, the three ghosts found the demon sniper, who was sitting by the Campfire sharpening his weapon.

Suddenly, a girl's crying rang out in the distance.

The bearded Priest gave a cold smirk and suddenly stood up.

"Another monster to kill?" he muttered to himself, walking in the direction of the crying. Before long, he arrived outside a house where the crying was coming from.

"Trying to use such underhanded tricks against me? Hmph, how naive."

The Priest raised the holy emblem and began to recite a prayer.

"Great Lord of Order, guide me, show me the path forward, and reveal to me the evil that lurks around me!" -- Detect Evil!

A circular light wave spread outwards from the Priest in all directions, like a radar scan. The houses were also within the range of the light wave's scan, and wherever it passed, a black aura immediately appeared in the Priest's vision.

Such a strong aura of evil... it seems this building harbors quite a few malevolent Undead! Hmph, but even facing a multitude of Undead, a true warrior remains undaunted.

He started giving himself a buff while loudly muttering to himself.

Evil-Breaking Aura! Illuminates the surroundings and weakens nearby Undead creatures.

Evil-Breaking Weapon! Makes weapons deal extra damage to evil creatures such as Undead and demons.

False Life! Gain extra health, increasing maximum health.

After applying the three buffs, the bearded Priest, shield in one hand and mace in the other, kicked the wooden door open.

"Evil and vile Undead, you will have nowhere to hide before the God of Order! Come out, you scum, let me deal with you all by myself!"

As he spoke, he walked in, the wooden door slamming shut behind him, and in an instant, a group of Undead zombies surrounded him.

Xiao Yu had sensed something was wrong long ago. This Priest was much stronger than the previous enemies, but he was still very confident before he jumped out. With so many people on his side, he didn't believe he couldn't defeat him.

However, Xiao Yu was no longer so confident. The aura emanating from this bearded, bald Priest instilled in him a strange sense of fear.

This feeling was unsettling. He knew it was just the effect of the spell on the Undead, but he couldn't ignore the fear. He became increasingly curious about the game; it could directly affect human emotions—it was too realistic!

Although none of the skeleton zombies dared to move, the ghosts in the distance and the skeleton archer had already launched an attack.

Touch of Negative Energy and arrows were fired at the Priest. The arrows were blocked by the Priest's shield, but the Touch of Negative Energy struck him. Protected by the Evil-Breaking Aura, it had no effect, but it did dim the Evil-Breaking Aura slightly.

"Keep using the Curse, just extinguish his light!" Xiao Yu shouted.

The bearded, bald Priest also sensed something was wrong. These Undead were intelligent! Ignoring the fact that he was outnumbered, he charged forward like a human tank! His target was Xiao Yu.

There was nothing they could do; Xiao Yu had given the orders.

"Go! Everyone, let's go!" Xiao Yu shouted, but then he retreated.

The crowd surged forward, but the bearded Priest swept a skeleton Warrior to the ground with a sweeping motion, knocked down a zombie with a shield bash, and pounced towards Xiao Yu.

Consecutive Sword Strikes! Three swords pierced the opponent's body in succession, but only one of them broke through the defense, and the damage seemed to be low.

The bearded man headbutted Xiao Yu, sending him staggering. Just as he was about to deliver another blow, the Big Water Cunt his mouth and gushed out a large amount of green liquid, spraying it all over the bald Priest's face. This immediately dimmed the Priest's Evil-Breaking Aura.

However, the Big Water Cunt used his innate skill [Corpse Fluid Spit].

[Skill Name: Corpse Fluid Spit (Talent Skill)]

Skill Description: A unique skill of zombie-type monsters. They spray their internal liquid to attack nearby enemies, inflicting extreme nausea and inflicting minor poison and corrosive effects. Each use of this skill consumes 5% of their maximum health.

In simple terms, this skill involves spraying internal liquids to attack enemies, which is extremely disgusting. Even the bearded Priest was not immune. After being sprayed with an unknown liquid, he screamed in pain and couldn't continue attacking. He hurriedly touched his face with his hands.

Xiao Yu, as the person involved, was also disgusted, but he knew the importance of seizing the opportunity, "Now!"

With a loud roar, the crowd swarmed forward, the skeleton Warrior hurling their weapons at them, while the zombies rushed up, biting and tearing at them.

The bald, bearded Priest was shocked again. How could these Undead be so powerful? And they even had intelligence, completely different from the mindless zombies and skeletons outside.

Looks like I'll have to be more careful next time. Even though he thought he was doomed, the bearded man still desperately swung his mace, managing to smash down a skeleton Warrior and a zombie before being hacked to death by a flurry of swords.

"Hahaha, that's awesome! What kind of demon sniper is that? They're nothing but trash in front of my Big Water Cunt!"

Looking at the Priest's corpse lying on the ground, Big Water Cunt laughed triumphantly.

Xiao Yu secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, this Priest didn't know any martial arts and only attacked randomly. Luckily, the Big Water Cunt performed exceptionally well this time, otherwise he would have really been defeated. But even so, he was already quite fierce. He could take down two of the 10 opponents. This demon sniper's combat power was not weak.

The spells in this game are incredibly powerful! Although you can't just cast them randomly like in other games, the effects of each spell are so obvious.

"Stop laughing, grab the holy emblem, and get ready to leave."

"What's the rush? We're having a great time leveling up, let's ambush a couple more waves," said the zombie named Wesker next to us.

The other Undead echoed this sentiment, and even the Big Water Cunt arrogantly indicated that they should ambush two more waves.

Xiao Yu was also in a dilemma. If he just grabbed the quest item and left, it would be too obvious.

"Alright, let's ambush another wave. Same old routine: we'll lie in wait, you ghosts go out and lure the monsters, and also check if there are any Undead players nearby, then bring in two more."

As he spoke, he divided up the spoils the Priest had brought out, naturally putting the holy emblem into his own bag.

With practiced ease, the three ghosts flew out and searched the distance, keeping a short distance from each other for easy communication.

They also searched for nearby Undead players' lists and quickly formed a group of two more lone players, making a total of ten people.

The three ghosts searched for a while and soon found their target again.

This is a four-person team: a Warrior, a mage, a Priest, and a rogue.

"Is this okay? There are quite a lot of people," Chenghong Moli asked with some concern.

The shadowy figure nonchalantly replied, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just one more person. You've all seen what level those adventurers are at, they're nothing special, what's there to be afraid of!"

After saying that, the demon spirit beside him immediately began using the Phantom Sound.

As expected, the four people over there took the bait and followed the sound.

Upon seeing the three ghosts rush into the house, Xiao Yu immediately shouted, "Everyone, get ready! They're here!"

The four men walked to the door of the small house, but did not go straight inside.

"Third brother, scout ahead."

The Priest nodded and raised his scepter. "Great Lord of Light, guide me, light my path, and reveal the evil that lurks around me!" -- Detect Evil!

A circular light wave spread outwards from the Priest in all directions, like a radar sweeping across the area. The houses were also within the range of the light wave, and wherever it passed, a black aura immediately appeared.

"It seems that many evil creatures are lurking in that house," the Priest said.

Xiao Yu, who was hiding in a house, also noticed the same thing: the same Detect Evil last time.

(Damn it, looks like the camping tactic won't work anymore. If we run into Priest, it'll be like we're hiding something all along; one Detect Evil and we're exposed.)

Xiao Yu figured that the people outside probably didn't dare to come in, and sure enough, the four people outside didn't make a sound for a long time. However, it wasn't that they didn't dare to come in, but that they were waiting for them to come out.

"Hey, we know you're in there, and we know that most of the people who think of camping are players, so come out and let's face each other head-on."

Hearing the shouts outside, the Undead inside the house looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Captain, shall we go outside?" Chenghong Moli asked.

Xiao Yu shook his head, "We won't go out. We'll wait for them to come in. If they don't come in, we won't fight."

Ten against four, without Cheap Shot attack, there's really no chance of victory.

"Hey, boss, they don't seem to want to come out," the Warrior outside said to the mage with a smile.

The mage smiled slightly, "Then let's use the old method, the barbecue tactic. Get ready, I'm about to start the fight."

As the mage spoke, he cast a Grease directly at the wooden house.

Skill Name: Grease

Skill Description: Grease can spray oil in a fan-shaped area in front of you. Walking on the oil will give you a sliding effect (similar to walking on ice).

Fuel can also be ignited by fire magic, causing continuous burning within a certain area. Walking on burning fuel will result in a burning status.

A large patch of black oil was immediately spilled onto the wooden roof of the house.

Then the mage waved his staff again— Burning Hands.

A cone-shaped flame shot out and instantly engulfed the entire house in flames.

Wesker: "Hey, why haven't those guys outside come in yet?"

Sweet and Sour Ribs: "Who knows, they might already be gone."

Big Water Cunt: "Hey, can you guys smell anything?"

"Damn it, it's on fire!" Xiao Yu exclaimed inwardly, looking at the roof that was burning red.

"What should we do, Captain?"

"What else can we do but fight our way out!" Xiao Yu knew he was in deep trouble this time; the enemy was definitely ready for battle. But he still had to give it his all.

With a shout, a group of skeletal zombies rushed out of the house.

It's here!

Magic Missile! Five or six energy balls appeared around the mage, and with a wave of his staff, they all flew towards the Undead, striking them repeatedly and instantly felling two skeleton Warrior.

Then one of the zombies charging ahead inexplicably tripped and fell to the ground, having stepped into a trap set by the thieves.

Xiao Yu's teammates suffered heavy casualties in the blink of an eye. He took the lead and rushed to the enemy, slashing at the mage.

But the Priest stopped him immediately.

"Evil-Breaking Power!" the Priest roared, and the steel scepter in his hand suddenly emitted a layer of white light. He slammed the scepter down, and Xiao Yu raised his sword to parry. With a clang, Xiao Yu felt a terrifying holy power shake him so much that he trembled.

Damn it, Undead are at a disadvantage against Priest.

"Rest in peace, departed one. Let go of your inner obsessions and return to where you belong." -- The Let the Dead Return to Death!

Xiao Yu had only uttered a few words of the incantation when he realized something was wrong. He swung his long sword repeatedly, but he couldn't stop the other party from chanting the incantation. A flash of white light, and he felt a warm sensation all over his body. He was about to have his soul leave his body and ascend to heaven.

Xiao Yu noticed something strange: the "Let the Dead Return to Death did not trigger "Indomitable Will," seemingly because it was not an offensive skill.

Since that's the case, I'll have to do it myself!

He slashed his own ribs with his sword, triggering his Indomitable Will! In an instant, the blue soul fire in Xiao Yu's skull turned crimson.

"Die, human!" he roared, slashing with his sword. The Priest was clearly taken aback, not expecting that the skeleton could withstand the exorcism effect of the Let the Dead Return to Death" ritual.

But Warrior beside him stepped forward and swept his sword horizontally.

With a snap, Xiao Yu felt his vision suddenly fly up and spin in the air. He could see his headless body wildly waving his sword. Because of the triggering of the Indomitable Will, he didn't die immediately even though his head was gone. However, he was immediately knocked down by the Warrior's shield bash.

His head rolled twice on the ground, then everything went black, and he died.

With a flash of white light, Xiao Yu re-logged into the Great Graveyard. White lights flashed continuously around him. Looking around, he saw that apart from the few ghosts who were gone, the rest of the team members were still there. It turned out that the entire team had been wiped out.

Everyone was somewhat frustrated; ten against four and they were wiped out—the difference in combat strength was truly enormous.

Only the Sword of the Fallen Angel remained calm, saying, "This is pretty good. Back in the closed beta, the deaths were truly horrific."

"What are you planning to do next?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I plan to change my class first, and then go do some dungeons."

Xiao Yu nodded. He was also quite curious about the dungeons, wondering what the monster dungeons would be like.

While monsters in the Sky World can enter dungeons, they are usually guardians. However, in this War of the Gods, it seems that monsters can also enter dungeons just like adventurers.

However, you should turn in the quest first before entering the dungeon.

PS: In the War of the Gods, Priest's skills are divided into general skills and divinely granted skills. General skills are the same for all Priest, but divinely granted skills are related to the god each Priest worships. For example, the skill [Dazzling Divine Light] can only be used by Priest of the Light God.

[Heroism Aura] can only be used by Priest of the God of War.

The Priest of God of Death can even summon and control the Undead, or use some divine magic related to the dead.

Priest's attire is also related to the deity they worship, but most of the time there are no specific requirements. Therefore, Priest can wear heavy armor and act as a melee fighter, adding an Evil-Breaking Power to their weapon and charging in for hand-to-hand combat. Apart from lacking melee skills, they are no different from Warrior.

Detect Evil is a universal skill; aside from slight differences in the incantation, the divine effects are the same.
