Chapter 83

To say that the Personal King mode is the most fierce and dangerous among these few modes, the points and military merit can rise faster than in other modes, but it is definitely much more difficult. Every point increase must be achieved by personally killing someone, which is harder than mixing points in other modes.

But this mode is the most popular among players. There's no way around it; everyone seems to be very confident in themselves.

White light spread, data fragments flew, and Yang Ye once again cut down an opponent, pulling up the kill list to find himself already in the top ten, in seventh place, not far from sixth, which was only a few kills away.

Glancing at the dense virtual lines above his head, Yang Ye found one that was about the right distance.

"Lilina, let's go, stop playing with the ants!" Yang Ye shouted to Lilina.

Having a follower is great; encountering a solo player is like toying with them, and even when facing players with followers, it's like slicing through melons and chopping vegetables. Yang Ye had yet to encounter a follower as powerful as Lilina, and the opponents themselves were not as strong.

This was one of the reasons for his rapid rise in kills.

What surprised Yang Ye was that the first place on the leaderboard was actually a Ninja, which left him very puzzled.

The Ninja is a branch of the Assassin class. In terms of burst damage, it can't match the Blade Dancer, and in terms of speed, it can't match the Gale. The only advantage it has is some rather annoying skills. Still, to reach first place and kill over two hundred people in forty minutes, the skill level must be quite high.

If he didn't encounter the Ninja, it would be fine, but if he did, there would be no choice but to fight.

Moving forward at high speed, Yang Ye was not at all worried about being discovered. If a player's field of vision swept over, he could see it clearly.

After more than two minutes of rapid movement, he gradually approached the target, and his speed slowed down. He had initially planned to charge out and fight, but when he saw another virtual line almost overlapping with his target's, Yang Ye knew he could wait a bit longer.

The saying "when the clam and the sandpiper fight, the fisherman benefits" was apt for this moment.

Yang Ye and Lilina crouched behind a rock, stealthily watching two players entangled in a small open area not far away. One was a Warrior, or rather, a Berserker. His face was serious, his eyes constantly darting around, and his hand gripping the longsword was slightly trembling, showing his tension and unease. The other was a Gale, who was currently hiding, crouching, and cautiously approaching the Berserker.

Of course, Yang Ye could see, but the Berserker could not.

He couldn't detect the hidden Gale and could only remain still, trying to stay calm and wait for the right moment. This was a last resort. If he were a skilled player, he might have some methods to find a hidden Assassin, such as listening carefully to the Assassin's footsteps or the sound of the dagger being thrown, and dodging or counterattacking at the moment the Assassin strikes.

But from the Berserker's performance, he was clearly not a skilled player. The Gale's clumsy stealth had brought him to the side of the Berserker, even stepping on some plants, and the Berserker still didn't notice.

The result was obvious.

The Gale, who had stealthily approached the Berserker's front, had a smug and disdainful smile on his face. He drew his dagger, chose the angle, and used the "Thousand Kills" skill, aiming at the ground between himself and the Berserker.

Why did he do this?

There was a reason.

Ordinary players, when facing a hidden Assassin, if they suddenly see a skill used behind them, would mostly think it's a trick to make them turn around, allowing the Assassin to attack from behind. The Gale, however, had thought one step ahead. By using the skill in front of the Berserker, he made the Berserker think the Gale was behind him, and the dagger was just a cover.

"Too easy..." The Berserker's lips curled into a smile, his body still, but his eyes constantly darting to his back.

The Gale, standing in front of him, smiled even more broadly. "Noob..." he mouthed to the Berserker, then threw another weapon, this time behind the Berserker.

"Clang!"

A clear sound of impact rang out behind the Berserker. "Here it comes! Ha ha!" The Berserker suddenly grinned fiercely and then turned sharply, sweeping his longsword. He was sure he would hit!

But the longsword seemed to hit nothing, and there was no Gale!

"Damn!" The Berserker was startled and tried to turn back, but he heard a light laugh from behind—

"Idiot."

Then, the Berserker felt his body lose control.

"Nail Bind!"

Nail Bind! It directly forced the target to be immobilized in space for 2 seconds. Without a doubt, the Berserker's body was lifted and nailed to the space, unable to move.

"Thousand Kills!"

"Scatter Blades!"

"Normal Attack!"

"Thousand Kills!"

...

Once the opportunity came, the Gale didn't let it go, relying on his fast skill cooldowns to continuously attack.

The already timid Berserker became even more passive, his health constantly dropping. He managed to land a few hits on the Gale, consuming some of his health, but it wasn't much. However, the Gale's skill combo wasn't enough to kill a full-health Berserker, and he entered stealth again when the time was up.

"Hehe, about right, two free kills." Yang Ye grinned, raising his knife to move forward.

"Huh? Damn!"

Just as Yang Ye was about to go and harvest the kills, he suddenly saw another player! Good grief, there was more than one fisherman. He had been watching the two noobs fight and hadn't noticed.

In that case, he would be the "sparrow" waiting for the "praying mantis" to catch the "cicada."

Yang Ye carefully looked around. There were no other "sparrows," so he was the final sparrow.

With this, he was not in a hurry.

If there was a good show, he might as well watch it. However, this new fisherman seemed a bit impatient, trying to take on two people alone. Wasn't that a bit naive? At least he had Lilina.

Squatting down again, Yang Ye continued to watch. Could he get three kills this time? Hehe...

The newcomer was a Spirit Archer. It had to be said, he was quite bold, a ranged DPS daring to charge directly at two melee players. How much courage did he have?

The Berserker, who had just been toyed with by the Gale, was in a bad mood. Seeing the Spirit Archer with a bow and arrow charging at him, he thought the Spirit Archer was there to pick up the scraps. But could he really?

The Gale also saw the Spirit Archer. He was currently in the lead in the fight with the Berserker, and killing him was just a matter of time. The Spirit Archer's boldness to charge in directly was surprising. Immediately, he moved his feet and approached the Spirit Archer.

As soon as he entered range, the Spirit Archer aimed at the Berserker and fired a rapid five-shot burst, seemingly trying to take the Berserker's head.

But would the Berserker let him? He slid his feet and dodged three arrows, being hit by the remaining two on his shoulders, causing sparks to fly.

"Tch, I thought you were something, but you're just average." The Berserker laughed, his sword pointed, and he charged at the Spirit Archer with a killing intent.

The Spirit Archer was taken aback. Three of his five arrows had missed, so his next Scatter Spirit Arrow wouldn't be enough to take the Berserker's head! Seeing the Berserker charging at him, he frowned, realizing his plan was too optimistic.

Not only did the Berserker attack, but the Gale also attacked the Spirit Archer. Perhaps the Spirit Archer, who intended to be the fisherman, was even more hateful to the Gale.

The stealth effect disappeared, and the Gale's figure appeared. His speed did not slow as he charged at the Spirit Archer, his fingers moving to throw three weapons, using the Nail Bind skill again!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The Nail Bind skill was so annoying. Once it was used, it was impossible to dodge. The Spirit Archer's pupils contracted, realizing it was bad, but it was too late. The three weapons hit him, nailing him to the space, the powerful weapons creating cracks.

At this moment, the Berserker also arrived! He charged directly at the Spirit Archer's face and then showed no mercy, unleashing a combo of skills—

"Normal Attack!"

"Mad Blade Triple!"

"Normal Attack!"

"Heavenly Fang!"

When using Heavenly Fang, the Berserker deliberately moved closer to the Assassin, intending to use the AOE skill to consume the Gale's health.

How could the Gale let that happen? As soon as the Nail Bind skill was used, he took several steps back, dodging the Berserker's Heavenly Fang. Then, he flipped his wrist, throwing several energy-formed daggers at the Berserker and using the Thousand Kills skill on the Spirit Archer.

He intended to take both of them down.

At this moment, the Spirit Archer had just escaped the Nail Bind skill and took several steps back, cursing in his heart. He tightly drew his bow, nervously watching the two in front of him.

The Berserker also wisely didn't pursue, knowing that if he did, the winner would be the Gale.

The Gale also held back. He wanted to move, but he knew that if he did, the Spirit Archer and the Berserker would team up and kill him first. He didn't have a skill to force stealth, and if he was attacked, his stealth would be broken, so he didn't easily enter stealth.

The three of them entered a delicate state.

Finally, Yang Ye, who had been crouching beside the rock, stood up, pinched Lilina's face, and smiled. "Let's go, Lilina, we'll be the sparrow."
