325 Chapter 325 - Without a Care (1/2)

War Without Wounds' Strength was substantial. Despite him having slow movement speed, the items he threw would fly really fast. As such, Deep Waters, who was displaced off his feet, was dragged across the ground for a good distance by War Without Wounds' one tug. The expert Deep Waters no longer cared for his image as he hollered, ”SAVE ME!”

Many of Deep Waters' comrades – consisted of Mages, Thieves, and Archers – were hiding in the surrounding trees. Seeing the miserable state that he was in, how could they not attempt to rescue him? The Thieves ran over with Fleetfoot to try and hold him down, the Archers tried their best to sever the rope with their arrows, and the Mages tried to burn it off with their spells. Some of the not-so-bright Mages actually cast Arctic Whirlwind to slow down Deep Waters in their haste to rescue him, not realizing that they were only hindering the movement of the already immobile Deep Waters. If they truly intended to stop him from being dragged away, they should cast that spell on the person doing the pulling, War Without Wounds.

In short, all his comrades did everything to prevent him from being dragged off, but none of which worked.

If these people had given this matter any thought, they would immediately realize how futile their efforts were. On the Archers' part, they would require a godly level of mastery in archery to sever the rope with their arrows, and for that to happen, they would not only have to be actual sharpshooters in reality, they would also require the aid of Parallel World's system to make such a miraculous shot.

On the Mages' part... Given that their Fireball and Descending Wheel of Flames were unable to promptly start a fire in this jungle due to their short duration, then they would naturally be unable to quickly burn the rope off. While they might leave scorch marks on the rope and, perhaps, even reduce its durability, the rope should not have any issues lasting the mere thirty meters Deep Waters would needed to be dragged through.

As for the poor Thieves attempting to hold Deep Waters down... Gu Fei was running beside the Hunter as War Without Wounds dragged him off, so the three Thieves that came hurtling toward Deep Waters simply morphed into white lights.

Deep Waters was yelping nonstop as he was dragged across the jungle floor. The path he was being dragged through was filled with traps, so who knew how many of them did he trigger as he tumbled and slid through the dirt and mud? Gu Fei, who was just behind him, watched in fascination as the traps clamping on to Deep Waters grow in number.

Even more Mages, Thieves, and Archers appeared from behind the trees to mount a rescue, yet the players of Yunduan City that were enjoying the show Gu Fei had put up finally returned to their senses at this point. With Oathless Sword's roar, Youthful Reflection took command of Traversing Four Seas' well-practiced archer formation to unleash a rain of arrows. Deep Waters, who was being dragged while facing the sky, felt awestruck when he saw this uniform barrage of arrows flying through the sky. This was considered as a hallmark of Traversing Four Seas, so it was not something anyone would see anywhere else easily.

The would-be rescuers poking their heads out from behind the trees became victims to this volley of arrows, with over ten of them losing their lives and the remaining ones hastily fleeing with arrows stuck on them. What made this matter worse was that their response to this assault revealed their positions to Yunduan City's players, and the squad of Sharpshooters was able to tell which tree they had squirreled themselves behind with Eagle Eye.

Arrows were cheap and plentiful, so the Archers did not feel much heartache from squandering them. Now that they had the chance to vent their anger after all this time, they continued to fire off arrows after arrows on the enemies even though the targets themselves were no longer in sight. So many arrows were spent that the barks of the trees that the enemies were hiding behind were gradually chipped off, as though they were being gunned by automatic rifles.

Those who were more familiar with this jungle were naturally able to escape this assault by positioning themselves in blind spots. Nonetheless, most of them could only lean in close behind the trees, not even daring to reveal a finger to the firing squad.

Deep Waters was finally dragged by War Without Wounds all the way back into the expedition's encirclement at this point. Gu Fei did not suffer any further interruptions under the cover of Traversing Four Seas' archer formation and successfully managed to make his way back to the group amid everyone's complex look.

”Drunk bro's just too d*mn OP! You're my idol!” Sakurazaka Moony was the first to compliment him.

Gu Fei merely smiled. He was already used to being praised by others.

Sakurazaka Moony proceeded to lower his head and smile at Deep Waters. ”You're my idol as well! You definitely live up to your title as the number one trap expert; you're even all suit up with traps! HA HA HA HA!”

Deep Waters was angered and in excruciating pain. His whole body was riddled with traps clamping down on him. There were even three additional traps caught on his head besides the initial trap that was still biting on his nose; two were entangled in his hair while one was stuck on his ear. The rest could be found densely ensnared on his arms, legs, thighs, chest, and even his back. The sight of these traps angered Oathless Sword. ”You b*st*rd, packing in so many traps in just these thirty meters; you're a real piece of work!”

Other players were also discussing this matter among themselves.

”Does the effect of traps stack together?” War Without Wounds asked.

”I don't think so,” Brother Assist answered.

”Would be pretty great if it did! With so many traps on him, who knows when he'll be able to move again?!” War Without Wounds said.

”He he… You should feel honored for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to have so many traps clamping on your whole body!” Royal God Call expressed thoughtfully.

Sakurazaka Moony suddenly felt agonized amid his elation. ”D*mn! Why can the system film everything, while we players can't take a photo or even screenshot anything?”

The mention of the video reminded Deep Waters of something. Turning to eye Gu Fei for a moment, he eventually asked, ”Are you that Video Mage from Yunduan City?”

”He he. Now you know the meaning of fear!” Sakurazaka Moony was gleeful, as though he were the one who had captured Deep Waters by himself.

Deep Waters did not even register Sakurazaka Moony's taunting and only sighed once he confirmed Gu Fei's identity, ”You're indeed an indomitable existence.”
