Chapter 200: Chapter 172: Can You Defeat Me with Your 17 Cards?_1

Mu You hurriedly examined the opponent’s attributes closely.

[Level 11 Player (Mist-Sighted), Attributes: Strength 21, Agility 30, Intelligence 22, Endurance 27, currently equipped skin: Female Huntsman.]

Level 11, the level is indeed a match, and now she is surrounded by a large number of summoned beasts, so she is clearly a summoner. Basically, she is definitely a Sagittarius.

This complicates matters. With a fellow member of the Secret Technique Association present, Mu You couldn’t be less inclined to make a move. Just as he was able to quickly identify the other party, his frequent use of secret techniques could easily expose him.

Mu You was contemplating leaving the team and going solo.

The presence of the Sagittarius was just one reason. An even more significant factor was that he didn’t really have faith in such large teams.

Because he knew that this entire operation was orchestrated by the Illuminati and the Ten Commandments. Before they hatched their plan, they would have guessed that reinforcements would most likely come to aid the Godlike Players they were trying to stall.

Knowing that reinforcements were on their way, their likeliest tactic was actually an ’encirclement strategy’.

This meant that their reinforcement troops were most likely another target for these two groups.

If that was the case, these two groups wouldn’t let them maintain their team formation for long. It would make it difficult to strike. As expected, they are bound to make some alterations and force them to split up.

Indeed, things developed as he had predicted.

Half an hour later, right after they had ventured deep into the swamp, a sudden change occurred.

"Be careful, a swarm of swamp dragons is attacking from the left side, estimated to be about one to two hundred!" The one issuing the warning was Mist-Sighted.

"Huh?"

This announcement surprised the team. Was it true or false? One to two hundred flying magical beasts, what was that supposed to mean?

Her fellow Ice Emperors knew that Mist-Sighted had reconnaissance magical beasts, so this information was certainly true. They prepared themselves immediately.

Everyone else didn’t have time to doubt, because soon, through the moonlight, they all saw a flock of flying creatures coming from the distant sky, a dark mass, rapidly approaching.

"Prepare for battle!"

The leading player immediately gave the command.

The reason they could easily handle any encounter with magical beasts so far was because they had been facing individual beasts, and they had a significant numerical advantage.

Now they, a group of about 60, were going to face an estimated one to two hundred flying magical beasts. Their number superiority had suddenly reversed. Moreover, these were high-level Poison Series Creatures, swamp dragons. A slight lack of vigilance and their team would definitely suffer losses.

People quickly lined up according to range, but the formation didn’t work very well for aerial creatures.

The dragon swarm quickly drew near, rushing over their heads in a blink of an eye, and began to shoot poison stingers downwards.

The players reacted quickly too. Before the dragons closed in, they fired a barrage of long-range attacks.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides engaged in intense battle. Fire Spears, Thunderous Assaults, Frost Stars, Arcane Assaults... Various magic spells illuminated the dark battlefield with brilliant light.

The three leaders battled at the front, bearing the brunt of continuous stingers, constantly killing dragons. Everyone else also did their part, and in an instant, more than a dozen dragons were killed on the spot.

Even still, there just were too many dragons.

These Poison Series Creatures were not too threatening on their own, but once they group up, they can become much stronger than the sum of their parts, because their poison could stack. One stinger’s damage per second was negligible, but if they were stranded by a volley of poison stingers, the poison damage would quickly stack to a terrifying level. Even the most robust player couldn’t withstand such persistent damage.

Mu You fired arrow after arrow into the crowd. If it weren’t for the Sagittarius’s presence, he would have launched several Fireball Techniques, which are very effective against massive air forces.

But he had to endure it now. Besides, if this swarm of dragons was intentionally attracted by someone else, then there would definitely be more incoming moves. This team was bound to disband sooner or later.

Indeed, as the battle continued, more and more people were poisoned, and the team’s healing measures gradually became inadequate.

Soon, several people succumbed to the high poison damage and died on the spot. Although they could resurrect in the vicinity and continue fighting in the Star Spirit World, the situation did not change fundamentally. They were still being besieged by the dragon swarm. Many players who had just been resurrected were instantly inflicted with heavy poison damage again, leading to immediate deaths.

After several consecutive deaths, many players couldn’t bear it any longer. After all, dying and being resurrected wasn’t entirely without punishment.

Players below level 10 would incur no loss upon death, but for evolved players above level 10, they would lose 10 experience points with each death. If they died a few times consecutively within a short period, the deduction of experience points would multiply. Frequent deaths were likely to lead to their level decline and corresponding loss of attribute points, causing their combat power to diminish.

So, many players chose to resurrect near the entrance and retreat back to Earth after dying several times consecutively.

As they watched the number of team members decrease, Mist-Sighted reported even worse news.
