Another death prompt popped up, and the Traceless Swordsman quickly chose to teleport to the respawn point.
But he had just revived, and then he shouted out: "Damn!"
"There are people at the respawn point!"
"Red spider lily, Pea Breeder, and someone called Lin Haihai."
The Traceless Swordsman complained, "And there are also ’a lot of summoned beasts’. I was surrounded and killed as soon as I got there!"
He didn’t know how many ’a lot’ meant, but if there were less than ten summoned beasts, the text prompt would directly show a number. Here it said ’a lot’, obviously it was more than ten.
Over ten summoned beasts, plus attacks from three players, his death was inevitable. And because he was in the respawn point, he would continue to die. The only alternative was to forcibly log off the game.
Fortunately, having gone through similar experience before, the Traceless Swordsman reacted quite quickly this time. After being killed once at the respawn point, he quickly logged off the game.
By now, the others had already headed towards the direction where the Lamp Bearer had shown up, but they naturally returned with nothing gained.
[...you have lost the trail of the Lamp Bearer once again.]
Looking at the prompt, the King of the Tenth Generation frowned.
He thought the Traceless Swordsman was killed by a three-on-one attack. But now he realized that only the Lamp Bearer attacked him, while the other two actually ran to their respawn point to ’corpse camp’... No, it should be three, there was also a new player, Lin Haihai. Did they bring him as reinforcement?
"What level is this Lin Haihai?" Nineth Generation King suddenly asked.
"Level eight!" said Traceless Swordsman.
"Only level eight?" King of the Tenth Generation frowned. He assumed the enemy had brought back an expert, but it turned out to be a novice...
As he was thinking, a new prompt came from the game: [Your teammate, Hokuto Shinken, is under attack.]
This middle-aged man looked up at Hokuto Shinken: "Did you also get caught?"
Hokuto Shinken forced a smile. When he was first caught, he had planned to fight back. But from being caught, to being attacked, and then to the death prompt, everything popped up in flesh, giving him no chance to react.
He didn’t delay either, learning from their previous lessons. After being killed once, he chose to respawn at the teleportation point and then quickly logged off the game.
"Wait, here’s a good chance!"
The King of the Tenth Generation’s eyes lit up after two of his teammates were caught - it meant their enemies had split!
This Lamp Bearer was too slippery for them to catch, but they should be able to defeat the other three, right?
Just as he was contemplating whether to deliberately die and respawn at the teleportation point to team up with his teammates and take on those three, he didn’t need to worry anymore, because Mu You’s third target was him.
[You have been hooked by the Chain Claws of the Lamp Bearer...]
[Your vision suddenly plunges into a dense darkness...]
[You are attacked in the dark, your health rapidly dwindling, you are critically injured...]
[You are dead, Experience -20, Life -2...]
The middle-aged man was taken aback by the four consecutive prompts.
Originally, he thought that Traceless Swordsman and Hokuto Shinken died so quickly because they were suppressed by the enemy’s higher rank since they haven’t evolved. But when it was his turn, he was killed just as swiftly, even though he was at the same level. It left him wondering, what kind of character was this person?
He didn’t have the time to ponder. After dying, he immediately chose to respawn at the teleportation point, and then called to the two surviving teammates: "Grey Pupil, One-Slash, kill yourselves quickly, teleport back here, we’ll take care of these three first!"
"Okay!" Grey Pupil and One-Slash immediately understood what the President meant. They hurriedly allowed the other players to attack them. With dozens of people attacking in concert, they were killed instantly, and then, both chose to go to the respawn point.
On the other side, Traceless Swordsman and Hokuto Shinken also timed their return to the game.
The strongest five in the entire guild appeared together at the respawn point, all holding their weapons with absolute confidence, prepared for the battle.
However, the game was empty at this moment. Apart from the prompts about respawning and logging on, no other notifications appeared.
The five looked at each other in surprise: "Where are they?"
