Chapitre 66: Either he goes, or I go
Jiang Taotao's expression changed dramatically. "Quickly retreat!"
The team stepped back. They moved away from the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of mermaid monsters rushed down from the mountain. They completely blocked the path up the mountain.
"Somebody brought the mermaid monsters here," Lin Moyu said. He had noticed a figure running ahead of the monsters, the one who attracted them. His clothes differed from theirs. He was from neither Xiajing Academy nor the God Xia Empire. Jiang Taotao also spotted him. "He's from the Sakura Kingdom."
This person should have a unique job in the Sakura Kingdom. They should be a Yin-Yang Master." Cherry blossom patterns embroidered the person's clothes. Lin Moyu had never heard of this profession before.
Ning Yiyan said in a deep voice, "I heard this profession is quite cunning." Jiang Taotao added, "They are very crafty. They have many tricks.""
The Yin-Yang Master took out two talismans. She threw them directly. The talismans exploded in the air. They instantly summoned two huge shadows. As soon as the shadows appeared, they descended from the sky to the mountain's foot. They attracted all the monsters in the pond. The monsters were like skeleton warriors.
The monsters surrounded the students. The students were retreating. They were retreating from the Qianlong Academy. They kept using skills, trying to break out. Yet, there were too many monsters. Most of them couldn't break the circle. They couldn't break through. So, they emitted white light one by one and teleported away.
Before entering the island, we obtained the stone. It also served as a teleportation stone. One could use it to escape from danger. But, once teleported away, this trial would fail.
Ning Yiyan said, "This is the Yin-Yang Master's Shikigami skill. It can summon ancient spirits, they say.""
Miao Yuxi asked softly, "Why would he do this?" Jiang Taotao said, "He wants to stop us from going up the mountain."
The foot of the mountain was already filled with monsters. There were at least two hundred. Monsters were also on the mountain road. There were over a hundred. Over three hundred monsters blocked the way up the mountain. It would take at least several hours to clear them away.
The Yin-Yang Master sat on his Shikigami in the air. He was laughing heartily. "You can stay here," he said. "This is my great Sakura Kingdom." After speaking, he flew away with his Shikigami. He disappeared in an instant.
"Despicable." "The Yin-Yang Master is a legendary profession. It seems that the Sakura Kingdom has spared no expense this time." "By the time we clear all these monsters, it will be too late."
"And our team is already in disarray; many people have quit the trial." "That's okay. We can regroup when we reach the instance location."
"The problem now is how to go up." Why doesn't someone sacrifice themselves? They could lure away the monsters here." "Forget it. Do you think we're all level 40 second-tier professions? Do you know how dangerous it is to aggro monsters?"
"This is not a dozen or twenty monsters; there are hundreds of them." "Let the summoner go." "Do you think summoners can do everything? They can handle a few monsters, but hundreds? You're kidding."
Jiang Taotao looked at Lin Moyu. "Can you do it?" Lin Moyu nodded, and a skeleton warrior had already rushed over. "Huh, a skeleton? An undead summon." "Whose summon is this?"
"Where is it going?" "It's going to lure the monsters away. It's running so fast." The skeleton warrior appeared. It immediately caught the monsters' attention. Many mermaid monsters screamed. They chased the skeleton warrior.
In an instant, a third of the surrounding mermaid monsters were gone. Jiang Taotao sighed. "Sadly, there are still so many left."" Crack, crack. Another skeleton warrior ran past. "Two?" Jiang Taotao's eyes lit up. She didn't expect Lin Moyu to have a second skeleton warrior. There was hope.
The second skeleton warrior did the same. They pulled away another batch of monsters. The monsters at the foot of the mountain were mostly gone. Only the ones on the road remained. Even if the monsters were still there, clearing them would be much faster.
"Well done." "Brother, you did great." "This brother is amazing. I'll treat you to a drink after the trial." "Next time we enter an instance, I'll take you with me!" Everyone praised Lin Moyu. Ning Yiyan smiled . She seemed happier about praising Lin Moyu. She was happier about praising him than herself. Only Ling Zhen's face was pale, as if he had eaten a mouse.
At this moment, the third skeleton also appeared. "There's even a third one." "This time we're safe!" Everyone exclaimed excitedly. "Prepare to go up the mountain," Lin Moyu said softly. Jiang Taotao was already prepared. "Ready."
The third skeleton rushed up. It pulled the group of monsters on the mountain road down too. Jiang Taotao seized the chance. He quickly rushed toward the mountain. Other teams also followed suit immediately.
In fact, Lin Moyu didn't need to go through all this trouble. He could have easily cleared these monsters right away. He could have done it with Corpse Explosion. It was just because of Ling Zhen's presence. Lin Moyu didn't want to let him take advantage.
They were a team now. If he uses Corpse Explosion, he would split the experience. Why should he? Provoked time and time again, Lin Moyu wasn't that foolish. If it were elsewhere, Ling Zhen would probably have been dead.
Everyone ran quickly towards the mountain. In just a few minutes, they reached the top of the mountain. They saw the entrance to the instance. On the other side of the mountain, another group of people also ran up.
"Enter the instance; don't let them get ahead." Many people from the Qianlong Academy shouted. Jiang Taotao also rushed to the entrance of the instance. "Huh?" "How did they get up?" "Could it be that they can fly too?" Just now, the Yin-Yang Master sat on his Shikigami. The Shikigami stood in the void. The Master looked weird. He clearly aggroed so many monsters and blocked the way. It would take several hours to clear these monsters. By then, the Sakura Kingdom team would have finished the instance and left.
The Qianlong Academy came up the mountain quickly. He did not expect this and it surpassed his expectations. Both sides rushed up to the mount
Antip and Tasha glanced at each other. Then, they rushed to the instance's entrance.
Swish! Swish! Arrows exploded in the air, falling like rain. "Be careful; it's the archer's Arrow Rain." Suddenly, archers from Sakura Kingdom attacked. They used skills.
Mages raised shields. Knights deployed defensive skills. Two skeletons appeared in front of Lin Moyu, blocking him and Ning Yiyan. "If they dare to attack, beat them ruthlessly." "Hit them hard; don't give them any face." Archers and mages from the Qianlong Academy also used skills. For a moment, arrows flew and spells blasted...
Although they were only about level 20. But, their skills were quite splendid. The healer stood at the rear. They healed nonstop. Support restored their statuses. Healing beams shot up into the sky. Knights joined the battle. They collided and attacked each other.
The station had no prior preparation. And there was no formation. The situation became extremely chaotic. Both sides were similarly strong. Neither could overpower the other.
Lin Moyu observed this. According to him, the God Xia Empire should be stronger. The Qianlong Academy produced elite professionals. Both skills and equipment, they were very powerful.
The Sakura Kingdom's participants were also elites. But, they were slightly worse than the God Xia Empire. The only problem was the Yin-Yang Master. They aggroed the monsters just now. This made the God Xia Empire team incomplete. Their combat power greatly dropped.
This resulted in a tense battle with no clear winner. Both sides fought fiercely. They were unable to gain the instance. The mages exhausted their mental power. They then started to drink mental potions. The archers' and knights' skills also cooled down.
The battle between the two sides was no longer as intense as before. They retreated. Then, they entered a ceasefire. Lin Moyu never made a move. His skills were too powerful.
He feared the skeleton warriors. They would kill his opponent. Then, with another Corpse Explosion, few would live. They would be on the opposing side. Jiang Taotao had said the competition between the two sides had been going on for a long time. But, there had rarely been any deaths.
The battle seemed fierce. But, it only caused minor injuries. Also, under the healer's care, the injuries healed fast. This healing did not endanger lives. The first clash ended in a tie, both sides remained vigilant, unwilling to relax.
The instance was right in front of them. The Tears of the Mermaid were the coveted items for both sides. "Our team is too disorganized; we need to reorganize." "As long as we can reorganize the team, we can definitely suppress them." Many people left at the foot of the mountain. The team was in chaos. They put us at a disadvantage in the fight.
"We need a ranged DPS here, either a mage or an archer, anyone below level 22.8 is fine." "We need a healer here, anyone below level 21." "We need a mage here, anyone below level 23." Many teams lacked DPS, followed by healers. Just now, many mages quit the trial when monsters surrounded them.
And there were level requirements as well. The team's average level must be 20 or lower to enter the Mermaid instance. Ling Zhen spoke up, "Captain, I want to join another team." "Why?" Jiang Taotao looked surprised. She didn't expect Ling Zhen to say this.
Ling Zhen pointed at Lin Moyu. "Either he goes, or I go." Jiang Taotao, Duan Gao, and Miao Yuxi were all surprised. They didn't expect Ling Zhen to use this as a threat. And it happened just as they reached the entrance of the instance.
Duan Gao said in a deep voice, "Ling Zhen, you're going too far." Miao Yuxi added, "That's right. If it weren't for Lin Moyu drawing away the monsters just now, we wouldn't have been able to come up." Ling Zhen didn't care at all.
"That's his business; I don't care. In short, it's either him or me." Ning Yiyan sneered. "Ling Zhen, you are so shameless," said Ning Yiyan. Ling Zhen ignored him and said to Jiang Taotao, "Captain, it's your call.""
