CHAPTER 13: Three Person Team

Once Liu Chuan knew Li Xiang and Wu Zewen’s QQ IDs, he immediately searched for them in the game and as expected, he found a player under “Ideal Master” and “Misty Swamp”.

What was surprising was that when he saw “Misty Swamp” in Southern Xinjiang, it was actually a female account…

Needless to say, Li Xiang this fool, must’ve instigated Wu Zewen to use a female account.

The Five Poisons women are notoriously enchanting in the game. Unlike the players in the Central Plains*, they weren’t as polite and reserved. Instead, the women of the Five Poisons Sect had a bold and unrestrained personality, clothes with a rough style, a provocative figure with a slender waist and long legs paired with dozens of silver jewelry on the body, and a poisonous spider following them from time to time making a group of men unable to look straight at them at all.

* Beggars and Shaolin Sect is located in the Central Plains

In the same way, the men of the Poisons Sect were admired for being evil. Their sect robes frequently showed their chest and backs. A certain Five Poisons player in the professional circle once said, in a very sharp manner: “We, the people of Miao*, are too hot. At first, we didn’t want to wear anything however, later on, we discovered that the people in the Central Plains were all wrapped like zong zi** so for your benefit, we also had to wrap our key parts…”

* Ethnic group in China, remember that the Five Poisons Sect were rich in Miao customs so sometimes the Five Poisons Sect refer to themselves as people of Miao

** Glutinous rice and choice of filling wrapped in leaves and boiled

This setting has attracted so many people to Five Poisons. After all, some girls don’t care if they can’t do their skills as long as they were beautiful. This has also led to Five Poisons among the eight sects having the most rookies and being famous for many she-male players to play with women.

Liu Chuan wanted to laugh when he saw Wu Zewen controlling the female player and stumbling when doing the light work challenge.

This gentle and handsome academic tyrant who wears glasses and had a calm face was incited by Li Xiang, this foolish person, to play the sexy Five Poisons' female sister. The discrepancy between the sexy Five Poisons and the academic tyrant was extremely strong…….

Li Xiang didn’t realize he was completely being led by his master step by step. He thought he met a Tangmen expert in the game. After he was resurrected, he brazenly wanted to freeload on the Tangmen in front of him and said: “Elder Brother Tangmen, we should form a team! Brushing monsters will be faster and there is also an experience bonus for teaming up!”

In order to encourage players to team up, there will be a 6% experience bonus after forming a team of 6 people and a team of 3 people will naturally get a 3% experience bonus. When Liu Chuan saw this, he sent an application for the formation of the team and without extra trouble, Li Xiang accepted it within seconds.

The new three-person team was officially established.

To show his sincerity, Li Xiang gave up the captain position to the Tangmen and said: “I’ll go drag the monster over! I’m thick-skinned* so it’s easier to drag the monsters over. Just stand on the tree and wait!”

* higher defense so harder to die

He saw this method for the first time and didn’t expect that a tree could actually block the perspective of the monsters. While the monsters were under the tree, the player wouldn’t be afraid of being attacked at all.

Tangmen used his light work skill to jump directly to the tree.

It’s a pity that Wu Zewen’s light work skill is really worrisome. He was unable to jump up, either hitting a tree with his head or jumping at the top of the tree. What’s even funnier than the clumsy light work skill and always hitting the tree was the big silly toad that followed his master and bumped into a tree.

Li Xiang was anxious: “Zewen, don’t move, let me show you!”

Li Xiang walked under the tree and demonstrated as he explained: “Once you stand in my position, adjust the viewing angle by 40 degrees and then press the light work skill shortcut key to jump up. Once you reach the highest point, press the forward key again.”

“Oh!”

Wu Zewen walked to his previous position and jumped after him. This time, he didn’t jump over the tree but hit the trunk of the tree and slowly slid down while holding the tree…

The picture of the Five Poisons' sexy figure with long legs sliding down a big tree really makes people unable to look at her directly.

Liu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh in front of the computer.

Cough, Zewen, if you post this screenshot of you holding a big tree and sliding down to the official forum, you will definitely be the top 1 on today’s funniest pictures.

Li Xiang had no choice but to walk over and say, "Cough, Zewen, let me help you jump.”

Embarrassed, Wu Zewen adjusted his glasses and yielded his position: “I am not familiar with the light work operation of this game.”

Li Xiang waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The direction and light work skill of this game is operated manually making it harder to control. It took me a long time to master the skills. Let’s practice slowly in the future, ok?”

Li Xiang stood next to Wu Zewen, leaned over, and held the mouse. He right-clicked to adjust the viewing angle to look at the sky and held down the upward jump button with his left hand until he jumped to the level where he was about to land, and then suddenly released it. At the same time, he pressed the forward button—the Five Poisons sister on the screen was as lithe as a swallow and jumped between two branches at the same time. Li Xiang’s light work skill was very adept.

Li Xiang helped Zewen jump onto the tree, only then did he return to the position back down and turned to grab some monsters.

Immortal said on the team channel: “Five Poisons, can you unblock me first? I can’t even send you a message.” A row of tearful expressions followed after the message.

Wu Zewen was startled and then he reacted.

Before this Tangmen was harassing him in private when he was in the process of catching a beast so he temporarily blocked the other side’s speech and concentrated on his task.

Unexpectedly, after blocking the other side’s speech in the game, they wouldn’t be able to send out private messages which showed discourtesy.

Wu Zewen said seriously: “Sorry, this is my first time playing a game so I didn’t know this rule. How to remove the block?”

Liu Chuan said, “Cough, right-click my avatar in the friend’s list and unblock it…”

Wu Zewen followed his instructions.

Liu Chuan tried to send a private message and this time succeeded.

Ah really*! Why does he suddenly feel like he was imprisoned and released after serving his sentence…?

* in this context it’s annoyance or frustration LOL

Liu Chuan touched his nose and typed: “Do you have any equipment from Five Poisons Long Whip?”

Wu Zewen replied: “The system gave me a set after reaching Level 25.”

Liu Chuan said, “First, change the equipment to the Five Poisons whip. The Five Poisons Long Whip has a long range of attacks and a range of group attacks. The Five Poisons Gu will be more powerful later after you’ve learned all the skills of the five beasts. You only have the defensive toad now and it’s useless when you’re brushing monsters.”

Wu Zewen thought this made sense so he took the toad back and changed into the Five Poisons Long Whip equipment and began to attack the monsters with the Tangmen.

Where the whip sweeps, all the mobs will bleed. The group attack range of the Five Poisons Long Whip was indeed very powerful.

Li Xiang’s Shaolin monster-pulling is also okay. He pulled small teams of monsters over using the Buddha Light while the Tangmen and Five Poisons launched a group attack against these small groups of monsters. The damage for their attacks was very high and when they cooperated, the mobs were dropping like flies along with their experience points rapidly rising.

***

Not far away, three people were staring at them behind the hill.

A moment later…

Mimosa said, “That uncanny place to brush up monsters is occupied by someone, what should we do?”

Nepenthes said, “What are you afraid of? Just start vendetta mode and kill them directly!”

Moon Grass said, “Let’s go! Kill that Shaolin first!”

(Just a small note all three ID’s are plants lol)

As soon as Li Xiang dragged the mobs out of their stronghold, he saw three people suddenly jumping from behind the hill and rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. Before he could even react, the screen in front of him turned red. —--

Wudang* Knight [Moon Grass] opened a vendetta against you!

* This is another sect, there are eight sects and will be introduced more in the future

Wudang Knight [Mimosa] opened a vendetta against you!

Shaolin Warrior [Nepenthes] opened a vendetta against you!

Originally, Li Xiang didn’t have much health because he was pulling the elite bandit captain and several mobs behind him. Wudang was also a long-range high-explosive profession. Although Li Xiang reacted immediately, he was no match for three people.

For a moment, Wu Zewen was stunned. He immediately jumped from the tree and ran to help. After the three of them killed Li Xiang, they flew towards the side of the tree, aiming their attacks at Five Poisons!

After all, this was Wu Zewen’s first time playing online games. Even with his fast reaction skills, his consciousness couldn’t keep up. He didn’t know what to do for a while. Three people were attacking him in the front but he didn’t know which one to hit first. The three of them set fire simultaneously and connected a combo of moves before he could even swing out his whip.

The two players were quickly killed within seconds and Liu Chuan couldn’t help but frown.

At first glance, the cooperation and attacking ability of these three people were very tacit. They should be teammates who know each other very well. Not only that, this method of the killing showed they were veterans of the game.

Liu Chuan smiled and the Tangmen in the tree became invisible--

After killing the Five Poisons, they originally wanted to attack the Tangmen. They put their hands on the keyboards to press their skills but the Tangmen in front of them suddenly disappeared. As soon as the Tangmen became invisible, their target was immediately lost!

“He’s invisible. Be careful!”

With an explosive hand speed, Nepenthes commanded and operated his own Shaolin character to take a few steps back, turning around the camera to look for the Tangmen’s position.

The low-level stealth skills of the Tangmen last no more than 5 seconds and once they become visible, they will unleash an attack right away.

5, 4, 3, 2…

With a “ding”, the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the sky sounded in their ears!

—Bereavement nail!

A Tangmen Concealed Weapon School low-level skill shoots out hardened poisoned silver nails in any direction causing a lot of physical damage to the hit target. If the target gets hit from behind, additional bleeding for 8 seconds will take effect!

The most critical thing when playing the Tangmen Concealed Weapon School is the sneak attack. Therefore, most skills will have the “back-hit damage bonus”. Going around and hitting people from the back is also the favorite thing for Concealed Weapon School experts.

However, in just 5 seconds, he actually managed to jump down from the tree, circling behind and created a distance between them… so many light skill operations in just a short time?

Surprised, Nepenthes quickly turned the camera’s field of vision. It was incredible how the Tangmen went on top of another tree that had a long distance from where he originally was.

There was a cooldown time for light work skills. Obviously, the Tangmen didn’t jump from the tree at all but used their operating skills to move directly in the air using the branches from the trees--

In other words, during those 5 seconds of invisibility, he directly flew on top of their heads?!

Nepenthes couldn’t help but tremble from the bottom of his heart.

Not far away, the Tangmen standing on top of the tree gave him the inexplicable illusion of an expert looking down at a group of mole crickets and ants*!

* Tiny individuals with no power

Nepenthes immediately typed: "Chase!”

The three of them quickly chased towards the tree but before they could release their skills, the Tangmen suddenly jumped, flashing past them as lithe as a swallow while releasing his silver nails at the same time--

Bereavement nail!

Unexpectedly, he was hit from behind again!

The bleeding effect caused by the bereavement nail just earlier has not completely ended. Being hit in the back again will cause the bleeding effect to overlay!

Every time a bleeding effect is overlayed, the amount of blood loss will double!

Nepenthes was starting to get annoyed. Somehow, he was hit with a two-layer bleeding effect and lost blood with every step he took. There was no nanny on the team and immediately the blood volume dropped by half. What made them madder was that the Tangmen flew in front of them at an extremely fast speed and his light work skills was like a ghost. The dark blue shadow shuttled back and forth between the woods while they couldn’t help but pant for breath not even managing to touch the corner of the Tangmen’s clothes!

—Ding!

The beautiful sound echoed once again and like clockwork, the silver nails hit Nepenthes in the middle of his back.

The bleeding effect is now overlayed to three layers!

It’s bereavement nail again! Getting hit behind again! When did he move behind his back?!

Nepenthes vomited blood and died…

When Mimosa and Moon Grass saw their thick-skinned Shaolin teammate getting killed by a low-level skill “bereavement nail” of the Tangmen Concealed Weapon School, they couldn’t believe it. After getting distracted, their movements couldn’t help but slow down…

As soon as they slowed down, Tangmen immediately grabbed the opportunity.

The two of them experienced their teammate’s feeling of wanting to vomit out blood but couldn’t vomit. They were killed by the Tangmen’s concealed weapon without even touching the corner of the opponent’s clothes.

The three people collectively died within one minute.

Then, the Tangmen walked to their corpses and sent them a smiling expression on the [nearby] channel: “Get up and talk, why did you kill my teammate?”
