317 A Trick, A Breakthrough (1/2)
On the way to the Tomb Region, the two Bowmasters from Bauhinia Clan, ”Mad Dog” and ”Bird Hunter”, were sizing up the cold and austere man stood next to them. They could not seem to read the man's mind.
They knew Qin Ruo only recently from the rumors in the forum and some table talks in the league. The first time they had heard of Qin Ruo was the call-up made by Violet Orchid who had the greatest respect in the clan.
The news that a Level 41 Aquamancer had offended Holy Clan of Netherspirit's Claw League was widely circulated in the clan. Violet Orchid had even resorted to seeking Homme Fatale and the League Master's aid. Homme Fatale had slaughtered many players from Holy Clan with his own hands. Since then, Bauhinia Clan had accepted a Tier 3 female player, Xiaoxiao for the first time since the formation of the clan.
Initially, not many players recognized Qin Ruo. It was Xiaoxiao who had piqued the curiosity of many players. Now, everyone wanted to know her origin. Qin Ruo had risen to fame in the Graveyard of the Gods since.
As a red-tagged player, Qin Ruo had escaped from a Tier 5 Supreme Champion, Dark Dragon, with a quirky trick and even defeated him on the first level of the Graveyard of the Gods. With his powerful pet Poochie, players from the Demon Faction had fallen into their hands and even the Tier 5 superior Boss was frozen by his unusual magic.
On the second level of the Graveyard of the Gods, he had summoned the Amethyst Orc who was equally strong as the Tier 5 Miniboss, Cerberus, in the dimensional portal that was followed by hundreds of thousands of players. That was not all. He seized all the loot and herbs and escaped safely from the Tier 5 Elite Miniboss with the Amethyst Orc.
He even came out with some crazy ideas by riding on the Tier 5 Miniboss, the Amethyst Orc. As a result, the second level of the Graveyard of the Gods had immediately sunk into chaos and everyone ran to escape. No one dared to get close.
If there were an achievement to be awarded to the most popular player of the Graveyard of the Gods, it would be to Qin Ruo.
But how could a regular Tier 4 player improve in such a short time? The two players were rendered speechless.
The atmosphere was extremely still in the tomb. Violet Orchid and the other twenty over players from the Angel Faction were exhausted.
Two hours had passed. Violet Orchid had appealed for reinforcements twice but it was all in vain. Nothing had happened. If it was not for the presence of the Captain—Violet Orchid and the strong-willed players from the Bauhinia League, the other players stranded in the tomb would have given in to desperation.
However, since half an hour ago, there was a growing number of the Demon Faction players gathering outside the tomb. Under the command of Tiger Cub, two attacks were launched in an attempt to completely wipe out all the players stranded in the tomb.
Tiger Cub had always been on his own. Commanding was not his expertise. On the other hand, the Captain, Violet Orchid, could perfectly understand him. Numerous counterattacks with Pets, Swamp, AoE Assault, and Magic were seamlessly repelled under her command. As time went by, the fall of the players from the Demon Faction had driven them into a panic. The Angel Faction was not completely free from injury either as a warrior was sacrificed in the battle.
Seeing this, the Violet Orchid brows were furrowed in concentration continued motivating the party. ”Our reinforcements should have arrived. Or else, they would not have taken such a high risk to attack us twice! Cheer up! Keep going!”
Violet Orchid's words were as like a beam of light in the dark. She lifted the party's spirit. There was no noise coming from the outside, everyone chose to believe in her as they also wished that they could turn the corner.
But as soon as she was finished talking, a low muffled sneer sounded. ”Hehe… Reinforcements? Stop dreaming!”
The voice was obviously not from Tiger Cub. Everyone in the tomb was startled. Tiger Cub was no longer there? Who had replaced him? Was it someone from the Demon Faction who stood guard outside the tomb?
Violet Orchid frowned as she contemplated. A dreadful feeling filled her heart.
The voice from the entrance, as it spoke the cruelest truth that Violet Orchid could not accept, ”Your reinforcements did come, in fact, a few came. However, your poor reinforcements were outnumbered. No one survived. Also, I would like to officially announce that we have taken over this place now. Guarding all of you is too boring. Brother Tiger Cub has gone out looking for your new reinforcements. Hehe…originally, that was my duty. Sigh… There's nothing I could do. I wonder how many of them could actually escape from him.”
Hearing this, the players in the tomb were stunned. Tiger Cub was taking out the reinforcements?
At that very moment, their beliefs were shaken and the fear took over. Even the morales of Bauhinia League players were weakening.
Tiger Cub was powerful after all. It was widely known in both the Angel and Demon Factions. Coincidentally, Scarlet Bauhinia suffered a great deal during the battle with him. If he were to fight the reinforcements, it was no doubt that none of them would survive. Moreover, the Tier 5 Supreme Champions of the Three Great Leagues should have gathered at the fifth level of the Graveyard of the Gods by now. None of them would come to their rescue.
