415 Tunnel in a Sea of Fire (1/2)

Ming Cult did not have many Five Banner Division members. If one man died, they would have one less fighting man. Hence, whenever they failed in their ambush, Five Banner Division would not dare to stay for long, so in the end, it turned into a slaughter between players.

Smoke rose from the foot of the mountain up to the mountainside. The sounds of battle were so loud that they could rouse the dead.

However, they never managed to wipe out the vanguards from the six great system-allocated sects.

As they accumulated experience, the players lost their wariness of the Five Banner Division members' tactics. They took the initiative to attack, and they managed to send their enemies retreating while suffering few casualties.

”Kill them!”

”If we head further ahead, we will reach the final defense line at Light Summit. Be careful, everyone.”

Ding Minjun's voice suddenly rose from behind the crowd.

When Happy heard it, he lifted his head cautiously and looked over.

A ravine with a breadth of 328 feet was ahead of them. Its walls were as smooth as a blade, and there was no place for anyone to use as leverage. The cliffsides were covered by a dense forest, so the situation up there could not be seen clearly. If someone lay in ambush there, that place would form a natural barrier.

”Charge!”

Many players already had their confidence rebuilt because of the offense in which they managed to sweep through everything. They had also become more eager toward accumulating points. They did not stop charging forward and ignored Ding Minjun's warning. They charged to the wide ravine in a swarm without slowing down.

”Careful!”

Happy, Momo, Ancient Wind and the others were not indifferent to Ding Minjun's warning. When they approached the ravine, they slowed down simultaneously and looked up warily.

More than one thousand people rushed into the ravine.

The two cliffs were silent and still.

Ancient Wind was stunned. ”No ambush?”

He was taken aback, and the puzzlement and wariness in his heart immediately vanished. He sent his qi to his feet and got ready to chase after the group ahead of him.

Right when he was about to head out, Happy stopped him from behind. ”Wait!”

If it were anyone else, Ancient Wind might not have bothered acknowledging them, but he paid a lot of attention to Happy. He hastily stopped and noticed that both Happy and Momo had stopped moving. They were observing the two cliffs with wariness and graveness in their eyes that did not diminish.

Ancient Wind instantly felt that there was something weird.

Logically speaking, the people from Five Banner Division should have attacked a long time ago. By then, the person in the lead had already charged out of the ravine.

The moment that thought arose in his head, a group of men in black appeared on the cliffs. They threw numerous black objects into the ravine.

Whoosh!

WHOOSH!

Ancient Wind's expression changed drastically. He immediately recognized that the black substance was the petroleum of Scorching Fire Banner.

The sounds of heavy objects traveling across the air rose and fell. Neverending pots swiftly landed in the ravine from up high.

Clang!

Clatter...

While the sounds of pots shattering filled the ravine, the pungent and thick scent of petroleum quickly filled the entire area. Some people even swung their swords in reflex when they saw the unknown black objects charging at them quickly. As a result, the pots shattered in the air, and the sticky and black petroleum drenched the nearby players. All sorts of shouts in surprise and anger rose in the ravine.

”Oil!”

”Damn it, it's a trap! Run!”

”Run for your lives!”

But it was clear that it was already too late to run away right then.

The people at both ends of the ravine could only watch helplessly as countless arrows descended from above. The area that was more than 656 feet long instantly turned into a sea of fire, and waves of it tumbled about the ravine.

Countless players screamed shrilly in despair once fire caught onto them.

The tumbling sea of fire looked like hell.

”Move to the walls!”

Some of the players who were agile were lucky enough to jump into the air. While cries of surprise rang out, they brought out their skills to walk on walls in an attempt to leave the ravine that was now swathed in flames.
