Lower Your Heads cursor swayed about Listened Promises head. It looked like his character was repeatedly aiming at him. If he clicked, even an immortal wouldnt be able to dodge at this distance.
Ill just give him a scare! Its just a game, so its not like he would die from a headshot.
Lower Your Head agreed to deal with Excellent Era together first. She wasnt a petty person, who went back on her word. However, at this moment, she really did have these mischievous thoughts. Listened Promise didnt turn his head, but his voice could be heard: "Stop messing around. Theyre almost here."
"How did you know?" Lower Your Head was astonished.
"From my analysis of their search route, its about time for them to arrive." Ye Xiu said.
"I was asking howd you know I... was doing that.." Lower Your Head said.
"Hm? You were doing what?" Listened Promises character turned around.
Lower Your Head felt extremely embarrassed. She realized that Ye Xius "Stop messing around" was just a reminder before the battle began. She thought he had some ulterior motive and accidentally took a general comment as a personal attack.
"Its nothing! Lets focus!" Lower Your Head adjusted her camera. She didnt look at Listened Promise and looked ahead.
"Make sure youre hidden." Ye Xiu said and didnt say anything more. His Listened Promise raised his automatic pistol and quietly stood there, paying attention to what was ahead.
Lower Your Head felt like it was the calm before a storm*. When she thought of how Excellent Era had killed the two of them previously, she still had some lingering fears. The strength of a pro team wasnt as simple as the sum of the individual players. Their team was just a temporary alliance. Let alone not having the tacit understanding and the tactical coordination of a pro team, they were even lacking a player, an irreplaceable healer class too. Thinking of the incoming challenge, Lower Your Head suddenly became somewhat nervous. Her confidence and pride had started to waver after facing a pro team.
"What are your thoughts on our chances of winning?" Lower Your Head couldnt help but ask Ye Xiu.
"Pretty high." Ye Xiu said.
"Why?" Lower Your Head said.
"Because we have more people." Ye Xiu said.
"How do we have more people!" Lower Your Head almost cried out loudly.
"Are you thinking that all five of them are moving together? I dont think so. Theyre probably using the most efficient way to search for us. Their plan is to split up, find the target, gather together. Then, after making ample preparations, they deal with us in one strike." Ye Xiu said.
"Uh...." Lower Your Head couldnt make any arguments. Ye Xius words were very logical.
"So it shouldnt be the entire team passing through here. It should just be one player maybe two. The others definitely wont be too far away though. Their searching wont be random. It will definitely be planned, so even if we have the numbers advantage, we cant be careless. If we miss this opportunity, well need to face their entire team." Ye Xius aid.
"If we face their entire team, what happens?" Lower Your Head asked.
"You two protect us and then well take the stockings and run. How does that sound?" Ye Xiu said.
Lower Your Heads cursor suddenly flashed to Listened Promises head. This time, it wasnt the back of his head, but at his forehead.
"Calm down and think about it. Whats important isnt your or me, but the stockings. If we can keep our stockings, well have the advantage. So letting us protect the stockings and escape is the smart choice. You cant expect us to just hand over our stockings to you two and sacrifice ourselves valiantly to let you two escape, right?" Ye Xiu said.
"Okay..." Lower Your Head lowered her gun. She agreed that Ye Xiu was right.
"Good. Then lets stop chatting. The other side could be here at any moment. Our voices will expose us. If you want to say anything, type it out." Ye Xiu said.
"...."
The calm before the storm continued. This time, the moment they were waiting for finally came.
A Mechanic and a Cleric stepped into this area. It was Xiao Shiqin and Zhang Jiaxing. The two characters would look around from time to time, naturally to check any hiding places in their surroundings. At this moment, Lower Your Head felt a bit of admiration for this Listened Promise. His prediction was completely on point. This hiding spot was absolutely perfect too. If those two were just casually glancing around, they definitely wouldnt be found by them.
Xiao Shiqin and Zhang Jiaxing were searching around, but they clearly didnt think the other side would hide so meticulously. The two stepped closer and closer to Ye Xius trap. Lower Your Head had already raised her gun. All she needed to do was click to attack. But at this moment, the Mechanic suddenly stopped moving. His gaze shifted towards them.
"Attack!" Ye Xiu immediately said.
Xiao Shiqin might not have seen them, but his intuition was very sharp. His glance in this direction might just be an instinctive move, but this move was enough for him to discover their hiding place, so Ye Xiu made his decision. They stopped hiding and Lower Your Head attacked.
A gunshot broke the silence.
Lower Your Head had been waiting for this moment to come, but this sudden change made her react a half beat too slow despite Ye Xius warning. Her Thunder Snipe didnt achieve the desired effect. Xiao Shiqins Mechanic rolled away.
Bang!
None Dare Attacks attack closely followed. As the two attacked, they flew out and surprise attacked the enemies.
"Hm.... its you two again.." Xiao Shiqin sounded rather helpless. As for Zhang Jiaxing, their helplessness made him irritated: "You two just never stop!"
Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack didnt answer and continued attacking.
"Did you really think we cant deal with you?" Zhang Jiaxing was a Cleric, but his battle spirit was hoisted high like a powerful combat class. He seemed to want to lead the charge.
Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack were sighing at Listened Promises plan. They had four players, but they werent going to come out all at once. The two of them would first attack, giving the misperception that they were the only two enemies. Then, the other two would wait for a good opportunity and catch the enemies off guard. It was clearly more threatening than four people swarming the enemies all together.
The two didnt need to think too much. They just fought with their opponents like they usually did. Listened Promise and Rain would seize the right opportunity on their own accord.
Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack had backup, so facing these two, they attacked with confidence. Zhang Jiaxing was like a combat class in the beginning. His Cleric looked like he was about to charge at them, but their assault made him shrink back. He cursed, "These two girls are really fierce," and then obediently took the role of a support class.
Xiao Shiqin was obviously the target of his support. Xiao Shiqins Mechanic shouldered the responsibility of attacking the two Sharpshooters. He seemed to have lost his cool and directly pounced on None Dare Attack.
Only a highly skilled player would understand that Xiao Shiqins simple and crude move was to close the distance with None Dare Attack and to pull apart the distance from Lower Your Head. It was a method of disrupting the coordination between the twos pincer attack.
However, Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack had extraordinary synergy with each other. This move didnt seem to be too useful. Their attacks continued to suppress their target. But Xiao Shiqin had set his heart on completing the charge. He had a Cleric supporting him, so he could bear to take some damage. Simple and efficient. Xiao Shiqins Mechanic utilized several skills to quickly close the distance with None Dare Attack.
Both sides were gunners, and the two entered a close quarter fight. In this situation, the duo couldnt coordinate with each other. As a result, Lower Your Head might as well turn her gun away. She let None Dare Attack fight with Xiao Shiqin, while she fired at Zhang Jiaxings Cleric.
Zhang Jiaxings Cleric was left on his own, but just because he was alone didnt mean he would be thrashed around, even more so since he was a pro player. He might be inferior in trading blows with the opponent, but self-preservation was a compulsory course for healers.
Seeing that Lower Your Head had made this decision, Zhang Jiaxing sneered. She felt like that girl didnt know the difference between heaven and earth. Did she think she could instantly kill him and then calmly help her partner face Xiao Shiqin?
"It looks like I should let you witness the power of a Cleric!" Zhang Jiaxing shouted. His Cleric raised his staff. Then, he heard an explosion. His characters camera shook violently. Zhang Jiaxing knew that he had been ambushed, but Lower Your Head was in front of him. Where did that attack come from? Zhang Jiaxing immediately steadied himself, when he heard a voice from behind.
"Healers can have murderous intent, but a healer with too heavy of a murderous intent cannot be a good healer."
Zhang Jiaxing turned his head.
It wasnt his character that turned around, but Zhang Jiaxing himself.
There was no one behind him!
He instantly snapped back to reality. Ye Qiu wasnt in their team anymore. There was no way he could be standing behind him preaching.
By the time he turned his head around, his characters camera shook extremely violently. In the amount of time it took for him to turn his head, he had suffered even fiercer attacks. While stabilizing his camera, Zhang Jiaxing found his attacker: Listened Promise. Mechanic, Listened Promise. Ye Qius alternate account. So it really is him!
"Why are you here!" Zhang Jiaxing shouted. This time, his character directly flew out. It wasnt just Listened Promise here, but Rain as well. The Brawler, Rain, had dashed to him and started beating him wildly.
Xiao Shiqin had noticed the situation. The first thing he did wasnt to rescue Zhang Jiaxing, but to use a skill to get away from None Dare Attack and Aerial Fire backwards. Seeing this scene, it looked like Xiao Shiqin was planning on leaving Zhang Jiaxing to die, while he ran away for his life.
Lower Your Head and the others were very surprised by it, but it was within Ye Xius expectations. His Listened Promise had already moved ahead to block him.
