Chapter 261 - Tangled Battle
Chapter 261 Tangled Battle
Time was critical.
The Blood Fruits were about to ripen. Hundreds of impatient professionals attacked the mace-wielding Trolls with tough skins.
Slash, slash, slash!
An Advanced Troll who possessed Epic bloodline had dwarfism, so his height was less than 2 meters.
He was not using the long and thick maces. Instead, his weapons were two Epic long swords.
He had his eyes on an Advanced professional. He charged and slashed three times, breaking the enemy’s shield!
Another three slashes were inflicted, and the armor on the professional was shredded.
The Troll did not care about the attacks on his flanks. He braced his injuries and slashed five more times, instantly killing the Advanced professional.
“Gosh, why is this dwarf Troll so ferocious?”. Many professionals were shocked. They had expected the Trolls to be dumb and slow. But why was that dwarf Troll so different?
The Trolls had many mutations. Besides the Troll hunters, not many professionals possessed knowledge of the Trolls.
Even though a Troll could fight multiple opponents, the number of Trolls present was still insignificant to the numerous professionals.
Many of the professionals were waiting at the sideline. That was the reason why the 33 Trolls had not been killed yet.
Meanwhile, some observant professionals discovered an airhole at the top of the cave. They were able to use it to enter the cave.
A mercenary professional had become impatient. He leaped into the cave via the airhole, but immediately, he was attacked by the Trolls.
Umekawa and hundreds of players boisterously charged into the cave and retreated noisily.
It was because the situation was way more chaotic than what they had imagined.
At the same time, when many professionals were attacking the Trolls, some evil professionals were targeting their allies. This infuriated many of the professionals, and a tangled fight ensued.
“There are too many Advanced professionals. We’re unable to intervene.”
“Shall we let loose some arrows behind their backs?”
“Forget it. We would just invite trouble.”
Umekawa frowned and waved his hand. “But we can’t give up without reaping some rewards. We can salvage the equipment from the dead Trolls and professionals. Let’s gather together and stop fighting. We’ll focus on the corpses.”
Therefore, the courageous players stood in formation and charged into the cave again.
The NPCs saw the chosen ones charging in again and were taken aback. But the players did not attack anyone.
The shield-bearing players were stationed at the boundary of a tortoise formation. They moved like a group of hamsters. They surrounded some corpses. After a few seconds, the corpses were stripped naked.
The players stripped the corpses one by one and looted the dead. The act infuriated the professionals, but they could not be bothered with it.
The chosen ones were a group of players who could revive. The professionals did not want to antagonize them, as they would take revenge like a swarm of hornets…
Not all the professionals were Legendary BOSSES. If an Advanced professional encountered hundreds of players, he would be badly beaten.
The players had gone too far when they went after the corpses of the Trolls.
After three minutes of work, the corpses of the Trolls had become a clump of meat paste.
All the skin, bones, and sinews had been taken away. The only things left were the smelly intestines that even dogs found disgusting
“We are rich! This kind of tangled fight is a good chance for us to be rich.”
“That’s right. We managed to salvage tens of pieces of Advanced and Intermediate equipment, that too, without suffering casualties. This is highly profitable.”
Time passed.
The players became bolder.
When they saw that a professional was about to die, they would wait by his side for his death before looting.
Their unscrupulous behavior angered the powerful BOSSES.
They broke through the player’s formation and killed many of them.
Umekawa shouted for his players to flee!
All the players dispersed and fled in haste.
But when the BOSSES went back to fight the Trolls, the players gathered again to loot the corpses…
The player had mastered the ancestral guerilla warfare tactics. They were willing to sacrifice their lives for valuable equipment.
William watched the players from his subordinate’s perspective. He frowned. Fortunately, the professionals were focused on obtaining the Blood Fruits. Otherwise, the players would have been targeted long ago.
William wanted to tell the players not to share this tactic on the forum. Otherwise, many players would suffer greatly.
But, alas! It was too late.
William noticed a live broadcaster doing his job in the midst of a hundred players. The players on the forum who had been watching the scene became jealous. They wanted to try the new tactics at a different battlefield…
The chaotic fighting continued.
Many professionals had charged into the cave.
The Troll leader was the first creature to discover the Blood Fruits. He was a Grandmaster Troll and had a two-meter mace. He swung his maces at the professionals!
A few Advanced shield-bearers who were at the front had their shields battered. They were sent flying against the walls like cannon shots. Fresh blood gushed out of their mouths, and they were on the verge of dying…
“Gosh, the shield-bearers were almost killed.” The mercenaries thought that they were going to be victorious when they charged into the cave. However, to their dismay, the Troll leader was too powerful.
Crazy Groome went berserk. He was six meters tall and weighed a few thousand kilograms. Wildly swinging his mace, he pummeled the crowd of professionals with his battle energy.
The Troll leader was using his brute force to dominate.
The mercenaries had lost their powerful shield-bearers.
Many mercenary warriors and rangers had been decimated by the Troll leader.
When Crazy Groome swung his mace, a trail of shrill and forceful wind would follow. The professionals who were hit were sent flying off. When they crashed into the walls, they would be crushed into meat paste.
The mercenary leader was an Epic warrior. He wanted to use both his swords to parry.
But he had been hit by a brutal force.
The two-meter tall Advanced warrior had become a 20 centimeters meat paste…
The meat paste had fused together with the equipment.
It was a fatal blow from the mace.
Wells watched the scene from another perspective. He tightly grasped his shield and longsword. He was cursing inside. How could he fend off such a ferocious Troll leader?
In five minutes, all the tens of professionals who had entered the cave via the top airhole were killed!
A few shield-bearers were embedded in the walls. They had a horrible death.
The Troll leader plucked them out of the walls and pulled out their thighs before he started crunching on the flesh.
Burned Cinder was getting cold feet.
There were many Trolls in the cave.
William wanted Wells to distract the Troll leader while he was supposed to fend off all other Trolls…
He felt that he would be losing something in this battle.
The Blood Fruits were about to spoil!
The tangled battle became more intense!
A few Legendary BOSSES decided to show themselves.
