BXBX NOVEL Chapter 481 ambush
He picked an area with had a lot of players together. That’s how he’d been doing it since the start of this round. That’s why he was able to eliminate a lot of players. He returned the map to his Items Tab and then took out potions to relieve his HP and MP.
He continued to jump from one tree to another, going to the direction he picked. He was nearing the place when he felt like something was about to hit his back. Like an instinct. He quickly jumped down. When he looked out, he saw that an icicle pierced the branch where he just stood.
It’s the icicle that came out of the blue flowers whenever they bloomed. Those flowers only bloomed when they were touched. But he was sure he hadn’t stepped on any flowers. Besides, if he did, then the icicle should have come up from the branch instead of behind him.
He frowned. Because he already had a feeling how that came to be.
Before he could take action, attacks from all directions appeared. He knew it. He was being ambushed! That icicle was probably purposely thrown in his direction. Although he wasn’t sure how they did it, but there was no mistake in his judgment. It’s probably some kind of skill or something.
Based on the number of attacks coming to him right now, he could roughly guess that they were the same number as the cluster of red dots he was planning to target. That would make sense since he was already close to the place indicated on the map. If he took out the map right now, he bet he could see red dots surrounding the spot he was in. So, they were not flocking together for no reason, they were simply waiting for someone to ambush.
These players probably made a deal to work together and eliminate as many players as possible. He wondered how they would work it out if they managed to be the only ones left until the end. After all, only four players were needed. Not that that would ever happen. He’s here after all.
He probably should save their problem now so they wouldn’t end up fighting each other. How nice of him, right?
Luo Yan quickly dodged the incoming attacks. With his speed, he could dodge it. Although it would be hard, it was still doable. As he was dodging, he took out his Invisibility Cloak and wore it. Making him completely invisible.
It would be great if he could use his [Shadow Walk] skill here. But it’s still in cooldown so he couldn’t. That skill was now in level 10 so the cooldown was now significantly lower compared to when it was on level 1. But he still needed to wait for two hours and 30 minutes before he could use it again.
The original cooldown of his [Shadow Walk] skill was five hours. Every time it leveled up, it decreased by 15 minutes. With that, it could be easily assumed that its cap level was level 20. Once he reached that, this skill would no longer have any cooldown. No wonder there was a part in the skill description that said, ’continue to increase its level and maybe one day you could freely walk inside the shadow world’.
If he really capped its level one day, then he could really end up walking freely in the shadow world. But the problem was levelling up a skill was completely different from levelling up the game avatar altogether.
A skill would level up as long as one repeatedly used it. But once his [Shadow Walk] skill reached level 10, no matter how much he used it, it no longer leveled up. He wondered if there’s something he could do to increase that. It would be really helpful if its level increased before the final tournament.
But before that, let’s deal with these players first.
On Luo Jin’s side, the little gnome was running on the field of flowers. He avoided every flowers on the ground. Which was so damn hard because everywhere was just filled with flowers. It’s because once you stepped on any flower in this damn area, it would produce all kinds of debuffs. Like being poisoned and paralyzed.
The first time he stepped on some flowers, he was both poisoned and paralyzed. If he didn’t manage to kill the nearby opponents, it would probably be him who was eliminated. It was also good that he had potions that could resolve these debuffs.
Learning from that mistake, he was careful not to ever step on a flower again. One would think that being in the Spring area would be much easier compared to the others. After all, the weather was not too cold or not too hot. It’s even filled with blooming flowers. But that would only be the case if the flowers in question weren’t ticking time bombs.
Now, Luo Jin was starting to hate seeing a flower. He wouldn’t have some kind of flower trauma after this, right? He shook his head at that stupid notion.
He looked down at the map he was holding and saw that there were about five players up to the front, along the small river. He turned on his [Sniper Specs] and pointed his two guns on that direction.
He saw that four of the players were ganging up on the remaining one. He raised one of his brows. Because he recognized the player being surrounded. It was that guy who got the reward for the first trial yesterday. What was his name again? Ah, Razor.
As Luo Jin pulled the triggers of both his guns, Razor also moved. Two of the players were shot by him while the other two was stabbed by Razor.
Razor stopped and then looked at his direction.
