Chapter 406: Chapter 387: Jade Qilin Ian Shows His Power
"Banxia, keep an eye on Wangchu’s HP and be careful with your positioning. Don’t get hit by the Boss’s attack."
Banxia Liuli nodded obediently:
"Got it."
Then Lin Yi turned to Duoduo and said:
"Duoduo, all you need to do is focus on damage output on the side, don’t worry about the rest."
Duoduo nodded as well:
"Understood!"
Even though nothing was directly said, Duoduo knew very clearly in his heart.
With his current damage output, sometimes it wasn’t even a fraction of Lin Yi’s.
So in this team, Aoshi Wangchu could protect the back row as a Shield Warrior;
Banxia Liuli, as a Priest, could provide ongoing healing to everyone;
Blood Conceal Demon could also scout the path for everybody;
It seemed that only he was the most dispensable existence.
Though this feeling made Duoduo slightly uncomfortable, he understood this was an undeniable fact, feeling helpless yet he had to bear it.
At this time, Lin Yi didn’t notice anything abnormal and had turned to look at Aoshi Wangchu:
"Observe how this Demon Race operates. If Behemoth can handle it, your role is to protect Banxia and the others. I suspect someone might act out when a fight starts."
"If Behemoth can’t hold, then you’ll take turns drawing aggro with Behemoth. Observe and adjust accordingly, understand?"
Aoshi Wangchu nodded in agreement:
"Understood."
Finally, Lin Yi directed his gaze to Blood Conceal Demon:
"You’re in charge of vigilance, alert me if there’s any movement around."
"Okay!"
Blood Conceal Demon swiftly entered Stealth.
Lin Yi turned his attention to the blood-red Demon General not far away:
"Let’s get ready, everyone."
At this moment, Jade Qilin had silently disappeared into the nearby bushes, while the Golden Behemoth was pounding its chest and roaring loudly.
Just as they were about to launch into action, Banxia Liuli suddenly appeared beside Duoduo and whispered:
"Actually, we are all the same. The best help we can provide to Feng Hua is not to hold him back."
Having said that, Banxia moved to the position designated by Lin Yi, waiting for his orders.
As the saying goes, outsiders often see more clearly. Banxia had noticed Duoduo’s momentary disappointment.
Being quick-minded, Banxia instantly understood where this hint of discouragement came from.
Encountering a master like Feng Hua, if Duoduo seemed redundant, what about Banxia as the healer?
In these two major battles, Banxia hadn’t even had a chance to heal Lin Yi once.
For players of Feng Hua’s top-level, Banxia’s healing often couldn’t match his self-healing from attack attributes.
Banxia understood then that in this event, it was essentially Feng Hua carrying four of them.
Now, if the four of them just didn’t drag him down, it would be their biggest contribution, and no one expected them to help him significantly.
If there was anything even Feng Hua couldn’t handle, then all four of them together couldn’t do much either.
Still, Banxia Liuli felt a little touched and fortunate.
Luckily, it was Feng Hua they encountered.
If it had been another so-called top player, even if they didn’t fall out, it would never be like now, where even small decisions considered the entire team’s feelings.
Good personality, responsible, and incredibly intelligent, able to remain calm no matter what happened.
At these moments, Banxia would feel a small sweetness in her heart: Truly my idol.
Lin Yi suddenly asked:
"Is everyone ready?"
"Yes."
"Ready."
Lin Yi cast a glance around, pondered for a moment, then commanded Behemoth:
"Xiao Jin, go!"
Upon receiving the order, Behemoth roared and charged towards the blood-red Demon General.
As Lin Yi’s team engaged in battle with the blood-red Demon General, several figures rushed towards Banxia Liuli and Duoduo at the back:
"Die!"
Their intentions were quite clear: they aimed to take out Banxia, the team’s only healer, while Lin Yi was preoccupied, and possibly deal with Duoduo, the team’s Archer output.
They were still pleased that Feng Hua had carelessly placed the two of them at the back of the team.
Sensing the murderous intent from behind, Banxia Liuli and Duoduo turned around, immediately alarmed:
"Ah!"
"Not good!"
At this moment, Lin Yi was engaged in close combat with the Demon General using Purple Thunder, unable to attend to them and too late to provide support.
Seeing a Samurai Long Sword about to pierce Banxia, Duoduo’s first reaction was to rush over and knock Banxia down to dodge the attack.
But just as Duoduo was about to act, a silver-white figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes beside them:
"Roar!"
Lightning flashed:
"Thunder Serpent Dance" (Jade Qilin’s Fourth Transformation Skill)
Jade Qilin was enveloped in finger-thick lightning serpents, one of which directly entwined the Samurai Sword that was mere inches from Banxia’s abdomen. The Ninja wielding the sword had a savage look on his face:
"Baka!"
"Shadow·Blade of Swift"
The power of the Samurai Sword increased, its tip proceeding another inch into Banxia’s abdomen. At this moment, Banxia snapped back to reality and instinctively retreated, pulling herself out of the attack range just in time.
Though Banxia avoided the attack, having been struck was like a resounding slap on Jade Qilin’s face, who roared indignantly:
"You’ve angered me!"
The lightning serpent entwining the Samurai Sword followed along its arm, instantly wrapping the Ninja completely. Jade Qilin bellowed:
"Explode!"
"Sizzle~ Boom!"
"-11540"
The Ninja enveloped by lightning was instantly slain upon detonation, falling helplessly to the ground.
Simultaneously, Jade Qilin directed the other four lightning serpents to attack the other four players:
"Die!"
Repeating its technique, the five who attempted to ambush Banxia and Duoduo during Lin Yi’s moment of distraction were annihilated by the furious Jade Qilin in an instant!
Lightning arcs continuously flashed across Jade Qilin’s body, crackling.
Its eyes, as large as bronze bells, exuded an icy killing intent.
It lifted its head and scanned its surroundings, issuing a ferocious roar with an unmistakable warning:
"Who else dares!"
Banxia Liuli, still shaken, stared at the murderously efficient Jade Qilin before her, then turned to look at Lin Yi battling the blood-red Demon General, her heart full of awe:
’So from the beginning, he had anticipated all of this when he positioned us.’
Banxia Liuli couldn’t help but be curious, wondering what other contingencies he had if more than five people attempted the ambush.
She gazed admiringly at Lin Yi’s back, thinking how aptly the phrase "strategic mastery" described someone like him.
Under the overcast sky, the stark plains seemed even more silent and eerie.
Besides the sound of Lin Yi and Behemoth battling the blood-red Demon General, only the howling wind broke the stillness.
In fact, before the He Clan members made their move, many others planned to ambush Lin Yi, skeptical of his supremacy.
Yet, facing Jade Qilin’s formidable deterrence, those in hiding held their silence.
Simultaneously, the Elf Dragon circling the sky loomed like a mountain over their hearts, forcing them to reconsider their ability to challenge the top person in the Hua Country War Zone.
Another group of He Clan players hid nearby, whispering:
"Should we proceed?"
The captain, once determined to seek revenge, now hesitated:
"Let’s wait and see."
