As he was speaking, Sanguine Rain took out a map and drew the coordinates of the locations of ambush, indicating the identity of the player from Quan Zhen Sect that was responsible for it as well…
“Are you guys able to see any pattern from this?” Sanguine Rain asked.
“Your handwriting is so d*mn ugly!” Fist of Heaven said in disdain, after glancing at the map.
Sanguine Rain ignored Fist of Heaven’s remark and explained to the rest who were confused by Sanguine Rain’s question, “These ambush locations all revolve around five specific places.”
As he spoke, Sanguine Rain drew five circles on the map.
“What do you guys see this time?” Sanguine Rain asked.
“Shops!” Sanguine Red, being Sanguine Rain’s disciple, was the first to spot the commonality within the five circles drawn on the map. Within the vicinity of every ambush location, there was always a shop located there.
“Not bad!” Sanguine Rain nodded. He then added, “As mentioned, all of the ambush locations are near shops. Thus, we can conclude that these five shops are their safe hideout. What we will be doing would be to strike them there one after another.”
…
“Striking them down one by one sounds like a good plan, isn’t there one just nearby?” a warrior standing behind Sanguine Rain said while pointing to a blacksmith on the map.
This Warrior was called Xiao Xiang Sword and was a Weapons Master that could dual wield. On his back lay two large swords which made him look attention-seeking and cocky.
According to the game’s system, it was easier to take out a weapon from one’s bag instead of from one’s back. Normally, those that placed their weapons on their backs while walking on the streets were those that craved attention and were full of themselves.
“No, we can’t!” Just when Xiao Xiang Sword gave his suggestion, both Sanguine Red and Fist of Heaven immediately voiced out their rejection.
“Eh…?” Seeing the two rivals voicing out the same opinion at the same time, the rest of the people were stunned.
“…” Both of them were startled as well. Recovering from their daze, both of them scolded, “What the h*ll? Don’t go copying I, your father’s, words!”
Jinxed again. The entire scenario looked as if it was rehearsed beforehand.
Everyone around could feel how awkward the two were feeling.
“Alright, speak up one by one. Fist of Heaven you go first!” Sanguine Rain, being the leader of the team, had to be magnanimous and to let go of past hatreds. He prompted Fist of Heaven to explain first.
“Hmph! Why should I listen to you?” Fist of Heaven turned away, ignoring Sanguine Rain.
“Then you say it!” Sanguine Rain said to Sanguine Red.
Sanguine Red answered, “We should definitely avoid the Blacksmith. The Pugilist in there is not easy to deal with!”
“F*ck, Sanguine Red, surely you aren’t scared just because you got slain once by the enemy? If you’re a coward, how are you able to fight on the battlefield?” Sanguine Wolf said, surprised.
Sanguine Thorn added on from the sides saying, “That Pugilist definitely has some skills…”
“Haha! Has some skills my *ss! He was an idiot that got blasted to death by my timed bomb…”
“Your *ss, timed bomb? Is that kid blind?”
When the experts all heard this, they were all in shock… For someone to be blasted to death by a time bomb, that person must either be blind or simply unlucky!
“Bullshit! Just based on your abilities?” Fist of Heaven rebutted Sanguine Wolf’s claim, angry that he would dare make such a claim.
Fist of Heaven was beaten alive by Wang Yu. Based on what Sanguine Wolf had claimed, if Wang Yu was truly blind and stupid, wouldn’t that make Fist of Heaven a piece of trash?
“Can’t you understand human language?” Sanguine Wolf irritatedly said. After getting scolded by Fist of Heaven like that, he was clearly unhappy about it.
Fist of Heaven rolled up his sleeves and challenged, “How do you want to settle this? Want to have a duel with me?”
“Hmph! Trash! I will not stoop to your level!” Seeing Fist of Heaven wanted to challenge himself to a one vs one battle, Sanguine Wolf said his piece and left it at that.
At the end of the day, even though Fist of Heaven was a hot-tempered person, he actually had some abilities as a player. Why else would he dare to challenge Sanguine Rain? Furthermore, the Tank job class was every Assassin’s worst nightmare. If Sanguine Wolf were to engage in a PK with Fist of Heaven, wouldn’t that be courting his own death?
Sanguine Rain had never actually seen Wang Yu’s abilities. However, seeing Sanguine Red and Fist of Heaven wanted to avoid him after having experienced battle with him, he could tell that Wang Yu was an exceptional player himself. Seeing this, he said, “Since that’s the case, let us go to some other place.”
“What about this?” Someone pointed at a grocery shop.
“The Priest in that location is extremely crafty and appears to be Quan Zhen Sect’s head. Allowing him to get wind of our plans so soon would not be ideal.”
“Then what about this?” Sanguine Red pointed at an Alchemist Workshop.
Sanguine Rain shook his hand and said, “There are two Assassins here and they are able to use [Stealth]. We would not be able to capture them!”
“Then we are only left with the Shaman and the Archer.”
Seeing Sanguine Rain having decided on the two locations, the rest of the group agreed to it.
Sanguine Rain nodded and said, “The Archer is easy to deal with, we only have to lure her out and it would be an easy task to kill her. As for the Shaman, he is extremely shrewd. It would be bad if were to alarm him beforehand, giving him a chance to escape.”
“Then what should we do?”
“We shall split ourselves into two parties consisting of five players each. Myself, Xiao Xiang Sword and a few of the people here shall get the Archer. Sanguine Red, Fist of Heaven and you three shall head over to deal with the Shaman,” Sanguine Rain said.
“I do not want to be in the same party as him!” Fist of Heaven commented.
“Then do you want to be in the same team as me?” Sanguine Rain questioned.
“As if!” Fist of Heaven quickly rejected.
Sanguine Rain helplessly said, “Heaven, everyone here nominated me as the team leader. If you refuse to listen to my orders, it would put me in a difficult position. Since we’re both already in the same guild, we should let bygones be bygones.”
“Hmph! As if I would believe your sarcastic words.”
“I…”
“Forget it, Sanguine Rain. I’ll swap with Sanguine Red.” At this moment, Destruction of Heaven and Earth stood out and offered.
“You swapping with Sanguine Red? Can you handle it?”
Destruction of Heaven and Earth laughed and said, “Since I am a Magician, I would not be of much use in capturing the Archer anyway. Furthermore, I am interested in witnessing myself the skills of the renowned Shaman expert from Quan Zhen Sect.”
“Alright then! We shall go according to your suggestion!” Sanguine Rain accepted Destruction of Heaven and Earth’s proposal. He then gave the order, “Everyone, split up and begin the operation! Remember, lure the enemy out before eliminating them. Do not give them a chance to escape. Understood?”
“Got it!”
“Move out!”
…
At this very moment, Wang Yu was feeling bored and started to talk in the Quan Zhen Sect guild chat.
“Hey, we only managed to ambush one wave of them. Why is there no one else?” Wang Yu asked, puzzled.
Ming Du replied, “Ha ha, those bunch of idiots are hiding at the resurrection point, afraid of leaving.”
“No wonder. I was wondering why the people from Sanguine Alliance stopped reporting any news… I still thought that they were slacking off at their jobs,” Frost Blade commented.
“He he!” Fearless coldly laughed and said, “The bunch of players from Void Blade has seen the prowess of our tactics. This time around, they would surely come up with a new strategy to deal with us.”
“Oh? What kind of strategy?” Wang Yu asked.
“If it were you, what would you do in such a situation?” Fearless asked Wang Yu.
“Kill everyone, open a path and charge out!” Wang Yu said with a clenched fist.
“…”
Fearless was speechless for a moment. He then replied, “You are definitely not human! Can you give an answer that an ordinary person would give?”
Spring Halo asked, “Do you think that they would ask their bunch of professional experts to come and deal with us?”
“Hey hey, seems like brother Spring Halo is still the smarter one,” Fearless snickered and said.
