After that, they encountered two groups of One-Eyed Wolves and one Elite One-Eyed Wolf. Xigua Jingling was still in training, and Xiao Ran, who was also a Shen Bi, hadn’t said a word because of his inconspicuous sense of existence and the consistent teamwork. The self-proclaimed Xigua Jingling couldn’t help but sulk. His handsome face stared gloomily at the other five people who were sweeping away mobs with cooperation and tacit understanding.

A violent Wind Slash soared through the sky and knocked a One-Eyed Wolf down. Another One-Eyed Wolf behind it approached Gaosu Gonglu in front, but was blocked by the shield in his hand and couldn’t break through the line of defense.

Liang Xia healed the tank with ease and couldn’t help but exclaim: “Luckily Gonglu has Wind Slash. That’s saved us a lot of effort.”

Isn’t it just a group attack skill? I have one too, and it’s much better! Hem. I’ll show you.

Xigua Jingling secretly cast a complex and obscure skill. Under the One-Eyed Wolves’ feet, ink-colored bamboo shoots suddenly appeared, and the sharp roots pierced into their bodies. Staggeringly high wound reports appeared above their heads.

The proud Xigua Jingling didn’t get the expected praise, but Gaosu Gonglu instead roared: “Who the hell cast that attack! Fuck!”

Xigua didn’t have time to cancel his spell. The sudden change in front of him had terrified him out of his wits—

After seeing the bamboo shoots submerged in the snow, the One-Eyed Wolves suddenly dropped their attention from attacking Gaosu Gonglu and turned around to chase Xigua Jingling!

“Fuck me! What the hell is this, ah! Don’t chase me! Don’t chase me!” Xigua Jingling was rushing around in a panic, but how could he, as a cloth-wearing magic user, run faster than the One-Eyed Wolves who had super speed? One by one, paw prints landed on his orange gear, and Xigua Jingling’s blood volume fell at a rate visible to the naked eye.

“What the hell! This is ot! 1 Call off your spell!” Liang Xia said furiously, as she simultaneously sent her healing magic from her masterful hands to his head. Even so, it could only barely sustain his life.

Ot meant chaotic hatred. That is, the hatred value of a team member exceeded the hatred value accumulated by the main tank against the main target due to damage output or healing output, causing the target to give up on the main tank and attack the teammate.

In Oracle of the Gods instances, once a teammate dies, they would be directly teleported out. There was no running to a corpse, so for ordinary players, ot was equivalent to being removed from the group. Gaosu Gonglu and Liang Xia were reasonably anxious.

Liang Xia sent one healing skill after another toward Xigua Jingling.

The hatred values were already messed up. She knew that if her healing continued like that, after Xigua Jingling died, the wolves would turn to attack her. But right then, was there any space to think like that?

Gaosu Gonglu was struggling to handle the few wolves who were still focused on him, while Dafeng and Naozhong Ni Bie Nao were repeatedly attacking the One-Eyed Wolves behind Xigua Jingling, hoping to relieve the pressure on him.

The scene became chaotic for a short time.

“Captain, first use your fire brush spirit, then run three meters in the opposite direction, then use the Reed Painting skill to assemble the mobs, then use the Ink Bamboo skill again and run 10 meters toward 9 o’clock, then use the combined water and thunder pen spirits for the final part.” Xiao Ran advised aloud.

Xigua Jingling collapsed and shouted: “The what and what? I don’t know! I’m not a master, I don’t know how to play at all. I’m responsible for player recruitment for the Juyi Court elite group. Help me!”

Everyone: “……”

Dafeng: “God damn hr…” 2

Gaosu Gonglu: “No wonder he was so well equipped but so bad.”

Naozhong Ni Bie Nao: “Fuck! We relied on a pit product!” 3

Liang Xia: “I don’t want to save this fucker, = =” 4

"

"

The identity of an hr wiped out all of their fighting spirit.

Naozhong Ni Bie Nao put away the bow and arrow in his hand. With that guy there, they definitely couldn’t make it through Han Bing Xue Field. Instead of struggling uselessly, it was better to return. Although this was the last of the times they could enter the instance for the day, there was no way. The one causing them to shed tears now was the QAQ that came to mind when they were originally choosing people.

When everyone was still depressed, a thin figure suddenly walked out of the crowd.

Xiao Ran? What was he doing?

Just as that question came to mind, the youth’s clear voice rang out amongst the snow.

“After three seconds, run to the right. Then count three more seconds and turn right. In the last three seconds, cast the Reed Painting technique. Start counting!” Xiao Ran used an acceleration scroll and ran to intercept Xigua Jingling’s path.

“Ha?”

“Start, count!”

Suddenly, Xigua Jingling didn’t have time to think. He could only do as Xiao Ran said—

For the first three seconds, Xigua Jingling ran forward at full speed. Xiao Ran stood still behind him and replaced his defensive outfit with a lower-level output outfit with a spell damage bonus, then swallowed a pill;

In the next three seconds, Xigua Jingling turned. His position and Xiao Ran’s gradually formed a horizontal line. Xiao Ran’s hands flew and his mouth chanted as he began to cast;

In the third set of three seconds, Xigua Jingling turned left again. His direction changed to run toward Xiao Ran. Seeing him get closer and closer to the youth casting the spell;

"

"

At the last second, Xigua Jingling lifted one hand and cast the Reed Painting spell. The scattered lone wolves were immediately brought together by the trees and vines. The moment he passed by Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran’s One Thousand Troops and Horses also finished casting……

The pure energies of the heavens and earth gathered directly above the young man. The sound of hooves broke through the void, mixed with horse neighs and loud drums, echoed through the empty snow field. Hundreds of black war horses emerged out of the white snow in front of his eyes, one after another, rushing toward the lone wolves with great momentum—

Wherever the horses rode, the grass would disappear!

The horses galloped rapidly. Naozhong and the others saw from a distance the long black rainbow continuously trample through the lone wolves. When the rainbow dissipated, the pack of lone wolves that had almost pressured the team to death actually collapsed into the snow in all directions. Within a moment, they all disappeared into golden light.

If it weren’t for the coins and some whiteboard equipment on the ground, they would have thought it was an hallucination.

Everyone: “Σ( ° △°|||)︴???”

Fuck fuck fuck, what the fuck happened just now?!

Only the other Shen Bi, Xigua Jingling, who was about to leave the combat circle, caught a clear look.

“The group attack skill you mentioned was the divine skill One Thousand Troops and Horses?!!!”

Other than the rare ancient mysteries, the skills in Oracle of the Gods were rare, ordinary, and free skills. But some of those skills were amazingly powerful. Players tended to call them divine skills along with the ancient mysteries and their fragments. The Shen Bi’s One Thousand Troops and Horses was one of them.

Xiao Ran stepped forward to pick up the fallen coins and equipment. He turned around and saw Xigua Jingling’s dull face, then nodded and said: “Yeah.”

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah…

Xigua Jingling couldn’t help but think of the conversation they had before this—

“I have a group attack.”

“Ink Bamboo?”

“Something like that.”

Something like that, my ass!

How could Ink Bamboo compare with One Thousand Troops and Horses! Hateful!
