Chapter 372 I'm here!
"Arcane Barrage!"
Boom boom boom boom—!
The dense explosions instantly engulfed the area, the rock walls trembled and crumbled under the impact of arcane energy, and fragments of rock mixed with purple light scattered in all directions.
Terrified screams and the cracking sound of a magic shield breaking came from inside.
"Sun Qian!"
"Healing marked!" Sun Qian's voice came from the side, high up. Immediately afterwards, an arrow shining with a demon-slaying silver light, at an incredible angle, passed through the smoke and dust of the explosion and the flying debris, and with a "poof," it pierced the chest of a priest who had just erected a second shield and was chanting a group heal.
The priest looked down in disbelief at the arrow feathers on his chest, then vanished in a flash of light.
"The thief is in the crevice in the upper left corner! He's trying to ambush Situ!"
Zhao Suo's voice also rang out in the team channel.
He and Zhang Que, like true ghosts, pounced out from the stone forest on the flank and entangled the enemy thief who was trying to leap down from the height to attack Situ Zhen.
At this moment, the corner has been breached! The enemy's formation is in complete disarray!
The two melee fighters in the front row had just recovered from their dizziness when they saw Chen Shan's demonic figure activate again, the edge of his shield flashing with cold light as he slammed it down on them!
The ranged units in the back row suffered heavy casualties under Situ Zhen's arcane barrage and Sun Qian's precise attacks, leaving only one mage and one archer in a sorry state.
Meanwhile, Li Xiang's squad seized the opportunity to rush out from the right side of the stone forest, completely encircling the elite "Shadow Fang" squad.
The battle ended within 2 minutes.
The six-man ambush team was wiped out.
The group regrouped and passed through the Echo Pass.
The sandstorm ahead seemed to have subsided somewhat, and in the far distance, the outline of a vast and ancient ruin could be vaguely seen, standing in the dim light of the day.
That place is the "Eye of Ancient Winds," the core of the current safe zone, and the final arena for all the surviving strongmen.
And from there, at this moment, came a roar and shouts of battle that were even more intense and fierce than the howling wind.
The light from the skill's burst, even from this distance, flickered uncertainly in the sandstorm.
Sun Qian climbed to a higher vantage point again to look around, her expression turning grave as she slid down:
"Guild Leader! In the southern part of Ancient Wind Eye, towards the ruins where we are holding, the fighting is extremely fierce! We can see at least twenty or thirty people taking turns attacking the defensive line! Our guild's skill lights are flashing frequently in the ruins, but we are definitely being suppressed very badly! In addition, on a rocky slope on the east side of the battlefield, there is a group of about ten people observing. They are not participating in the attack, but they have not left either!"
"That's because they want to be fishermen."
Chen Shan snorted coldly, raised his fist, and the entire team instantly went into high alert.
He squinted, gazing at the desolate ruins where the sounds of battle echoed, his gaze finally settling on the relatively quiet, rocky slope to the east of the battlefield.
"We will not directly charge into the front lines."
Chen Shan's voice was deep and clear, reaching the ears of every team member.
"Li Xiang, you take the original squad and the two assassin brothers and go around to the right side of that group of weathered rocks. Make a show of attacking the flank of the observation team to attract their attention and create chaos. Make a big fuss so they think we're going to clear the area first."
"Yes!" Li Xiang accepted the order.
Chen Shan looked at Situ Zhen, their eyes met in the air, and their years of tacit understanding made everything unspoken.
"Situ," Chen Shan said, pointing to the relatively chaotic area behind the twenty or thirty allied soldiers who were charging the defensive line. It seemed to be a gathering place for enemy ranged and healing classes.
"Give me a road that can get me there. It doesn't need to be long, just sturdy enough."
Situ Zhen pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses sharp as a knife. He lightly tapped the ground with his staff, and intricate arcane runes began to rapidly draw beneath his feet and in the air.
"Same as always, fifteen seconds. I'll give you a 'one-way street.' But the other side isn't some weaklings; the pressure will be immense."
"Pressure?" Chen Shan stretched his neck, steadily raising the shield. The dark gold and earthy yellow lusters complemented each other, and a chilling sense of weight emanated from him. He grinned, revealing an almost wild smile.
"I don't have any other strengths, but I'm exceptionally resilient under pressure."
He turned around and glanced at his teammates behind him, who, though exhausted, had burning passion in their eyes.
"Brothers, signal to the outpost. Tell them..."
Chen Shan's voice, like a warhammer striking, was powerful and resounding, drowning out the distant shouts of battle and the nearby gale:
"I am coming!"
......
Lin Tian stood in the center of the ravaged battlefield. Around him were the corpses of more than a dozen enormous monsters of various shapes, slowly turning into specks of light and dissipating.
These elite monsters, ranging from level 50 to 55, would be a threat that any elite team of players would have to deal with carefully, but to him, they were nothing more than a bunch of movement points and experience packs that required a little effort to obtain.
He casually flicked his hand, as if he were merely brushing away non-existent dust.
On the panel, the points jumped up again.
Within a radius of several kilometers, there were no living players or monsters worth attacking.
Silence. The only sound is the whistling of the wind blowing through the jagged rocks.
"Boring."
He had just taken a step to leave the area he had "cleaned" too much when he suddenly felt an unusual vibration under his feet.
Rumbling--
It's neither a skill nor an attack.
Without warning, the solid ground collapsed, rubble and soil tumbled, and dust filled the air.
Lin Tian moved slightly and gracefully retreated several meters, calmly observing the changes before him.
A large hole, about twenty meters in diameter and with excessively neat edges, appeared in front of him.
The cave is deep and bottomless, with only a faint, unnatural flow of energy swirling around the entrance.
"Oh?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards in a slight arc.
"A hidden instance? The trigger condition is to indiscriminately clear out all creatures in an area?"
These special instances, known as "surprise easter eggs" in "Battle of the Realms," have an extremely low probability of appearing and are triggered by a variety of conditions. They often mean unique rewards, rare equipment, or a large amount of experience.
For ordinary players, discovering a hidden dungeon is enough to make them jump for joy, call their friends, and carefully plan their strategy.
But for Lin Tian...
"Heh, at least there's something different." He muttered to himself, his tone lacking excitement, more like the casualness of someone finally finding a diversion in their boredom. "Hopefully, I can perk up a bit later."
He sensed his surroundings and confirmed that no one else was there.
This area has already been thoroughly "purified" by him.
Without hesitation, he strode towards the cave entrance, his figure disappearing into the deep darkness.
The passage slopes downwards, with a gentle but continuous gradient.
