"Everyone, watch your surroundings! Healing team, get to the center! Support team, protect the healers! MT, be ready to use your survival skill at a moment's notice! Blade team, prepare for engagement!" Bai Qingxue wasn't fazed by the sudden commotion. She immediately issued orders, everyone on high alert.
Modesty brings benefit, while arrogance brings loss.
This saying perfectly applied to the members of Snake of the Body, especially the proud Zhao Yueru.
People tend to run into trouble when they're at their most self-satisfied.
Only this time, the problem arrived a bit too quickly.
The previously relaxed Zhao Yueru suddenly gripped her crystal staff tightly, her carefree demeanor vanishing. Her expression turned serious as she scrutinized every movement around them, the qualities of an expert clearly on display.
The other members of Snake of the Body didn't dare be careless anymore. Although they were confident in their equipment and believed they could crush Dark Moon Cemetery, seeing two people instantly killed had steadily eroded that confidence. Caution was now paramount.
As for Shi Feng's squad, they were even more nervous. Deep down, they still considered themselves novices. In their eyes, the elite members of Snake of the Body were definitely top-tier players, their skills far surpassing the squad's own.
And such top-tier players, clad in excellent bronze-grade sets, had died inexplicably just like that...
This Dark Moon Cemetery was far too terrifying!
Seeing everyone so tense, Shi Feng remained utterly calm. As for what exactly was happening, no one could be clearer than him. Or rather, he had long anticipated all of this.
Dark Moon Cemetery wasn't so simple that you could breeze through it with just good gear and some skilled players. In his past life, he'd seen countless guilds get wiped out over and over, cursing their luck. However, with the strength of Bai Qingxue's team, after a dozen or so wipes, they would eventually clear it. It was just that the cost would be very high.
"Something's coming! MT, be alert!" Shi Feng narrowed his eyes, gazing at the mist drifting towards them from the distance and warning them.
Everyone immediately tensed up and looked in that direction.
"What is that thing?" the Shield Warrior asked, spotting only a blurry figure within the mist.
The shape was obscured in the gloomy fog, its exact form indiscernible. It only seemed to be slowly drifting closer, step by step like a snail's crawl. As it drew near, the sound of ghostly wailing and wolfish howling grew louder, sending chills down their spines.
The figure was just about to emerge from the mist.
"MT, use your survival skill!" Shi Feng shouted.
The Shield Warrior couldn't be bothered with Shi Feng's words.
He had always looked down on Shi Feng. Last time he saw him, Shi Feng was just a lucky novice, only familiar with Divine Realm, which was why he'd caught the captain's attention. Now, though his level had reached 6, it must be because he knew the quests and monsters so well. He didn't possess any real skill.
Even if Shi Feng's technique was decent, Snake of the Body had recruited over five thousand elite players from various virtual reality games over the past decade. They weren't short of people like Shi Feng. Or rather, within the Snake of the Body guild, you could grab a handful at random and find someone more skilled than Shi Feng.
Though the Shield Warrior ignored the warning, the Guardian Knight, Ke Le, always trusted Shi Feng's words. He immediately cast Protection Blessing on himself.
Just as the creature stepped out of the mist, two beams of black light shot forth, instantly flying towards the frontline MTs.
The black beams were as fast as bullets; the clumsy MT had no way to dodge.
Only then did Bai Qingxue shout, "MT, use your survival skill!"
Unfortunately, her warning came a step too late.
One of the black beams pierced the Shield Warrior clean through. A damage number exceeding 1600 popped above his head, and he was instantly killed.
