Chapter 61 : Chapter 61
Chapter 61: Decisive Tactics! The Second Layer of the Ancient Battlefield Opens!
Inside the dungeon, the four remaining members of North China Team Two were struck with terror at the sight.
“Captain!”
The four of them all looked in shock toward the place where their captain had been sent flying, then immediately turned wary eyes toward Ye Ze and the panda.
That panda was simply too fast!
Even for the teammate among them with especially strong perception, by the time he sensed the panda making a move, their captain had already been blown away!
This was the Martial Saint, the pinnacle of speed and power.
With the speed boost from the Storm Battle Robe on top of that, it was as fast as lightning.
The very next second after the captain of Team Two had finished uttering his threat...his whole body had already been sent flying.
There was, however, one thing that interested Ye Ze quite a bit:
after taking a punch from the panda head-on, that person had not triggered a kill notification!
“Interesting.”
Within that small hill a hundred meters away, the captain of Team Two slowly stepped out from the smoke and shattered stone, wreathed in surging blood aura from head to toe.
Empowered by that blood aura, the black-haired youth looked like a warrior bent on vengeance, his presence astonishing.
His four teammates immediately gathered around him.
Golden light flickered in Ye Ze’s eyes. Under the interface of Eye of Insight...the black-haired youth’s health had been locked at “1” point!
“Not bad. A rare Berserker class. The lower his health, the stronger he becomes.”
“And with the talent Fight with One’s Back to the River, after taking a fatal injury, his health drops to 1 point instead...”
“No wonder he’s the captain.”
Ye Ze could not help murmuring his appraisal.
That combination truly did have strength behind it.
Perhaps it was precisely because he had awakened that talent that his family had bought him a Berserker Class Card.
At that moment, the black-haired youth’s strength, speed, attack speed, and the like all rose to their peak!
If he had been in this state earlier, Hu Ming likely would not have lasted even a minute.
The black-haired youth stared fixedly at Ye Ze, his aura pressing down like a mountain.
“So there are some impressive people among the Instructors too!”
He curled his lips into a savage smile and slowly advanced.
Beside him, the support-type class user immediately applied buffs, and the whole team stood ready.
Ye Ze remained where he was, gazing down at him calmly.
Then, in the next moment, the black-haired youth moved.
His blood aura surged, and his speed reached its utmost peak!
But the direction he rushed in was completely opposite to where Ye Ze stood...
“Run!”
With that single command, his body did not pause for even an instant, streaking away like a red meteor.
His four teammates wasted no time at all. They turned and fled at once, their legs moving so fast they almost left afterimages behind.
“Hm?”
Ye Ze’s mouth twitched, and he was left utterly speechless.
...
“Huh?”
In the Monitoring Division, even Wan Feipeng could not help scratching his head, while the others all wore complicated expressions.
The North China regional head quickly coughed twice to cover his awkwardness.
“Ahem. Tactics. That is also a kind of tactic.”
Hearing that, Wei Zheng could not help smiling. “That is true.”
“When your opponent casually punches out your greatest trump card in one blow...”
“if you do not run at that point, you probably will not get another chance to.”
Wan Feipeng looked surprised. “He really understands how to use the Berserker class.”
“Choosing to flee at top speed in that moment was actually quite wise. At least it was far wiser than the previous team!”
Wu Ming folded his arms and observed, “And his teammates ran without the slightest hesitation too. It looks like they had already thought through this tactic in advance.”
Wei Zheng joked, “By this Instructor’s standards, the whole team should count as having passed! Hahaha!”
Seeing the captain of Team Two flee so decisively, the North China regional head finally let out a breath of relief.
At least Team Two would not be eliminated for now... right?
That was what the North China regional head was thinking, but the very next scene on the projection made his heart lurch once more.
...
The four other members of Team Two followed their captain’s lead and fled from Ye Ze.
In that short span of time, they had already run nearly ten kilometers away!
“Damn it, where did this monster of an Instructor even come from?”
“How is he this much stronger than the last one?!”
As he ran, the black-haired youth rejoiced inwardly. “Good thing I ran fast. If I’d taken another punch, I really would have died!”
Though it was true that after being reduced to a single point of health, a Berserker could use terrifying speed and offense to overwhelm an opponent without taking another hit,
that still depended on the gap between both sides not being too great!
And that panda was very clearly not within the bounds of a “not too great” gap.
Several of his teammates also felt a surge of relief.
“Good thing we ran decisively!”
“There’s no way he can catch us now... right?”
One teammate kept glancing back. Seeing no sign of pursuit behind them, he finally relaxed.
But the instant he turned his head forward again, he found a huge dark-violet mantis standing right in front of him.
“I—”
Before he could finish speaking, a rift from the Void tore across the air, reaching every one of them with perfect impartiality.
...
【You kill Trial Participants x5 and gain Experience: 5000!】
【Level: 14 (5275/22100)】
【Advancement Quest Progress: Warrior 1/1, Assassin 1/1, Mage 1/1, Archer 1/1, Swordsman 0/1.】
Though North China Team Two had fled decisively, how could they possibly escape from a Void Hunter...?
Another 5,000 experience points came in, and the Military Merit he had earned from defeating trainees rose to 4,000!
“It’s just a pity I still haven’t run into a team from Central China or East China...”
Ye Ze let out a sigh, then looked at his Advancement Quest. Only one rare Swordsman class was left.
North China Team Two just now had been a classic shield-warrior, archer, and healer composition.
Their captain was a Berserker, which served much the same role as a Swordsman, so naturally there had been no Swordsman in the team...But Ye Ze was not disappointed.
With the mantis now possessing Hunter’s Vision, the Advancement Quest was as easy as turning over one’s hand!
At that moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble...Ye Ze’s figure was enveloped in a towering pillar of white teleportation light.
Immediately after, every person in the Ancient Battlefield disappeared from where they stood.
【The current casualty count has reached 20!】
【The second layer of the Ancient Battlefield is now open!】
