Chapter 301: Sit and Reap the Fisherman's Profit

Holding a staff, dressed in a water‑blue mage robe, highlighting Gu Qingcheng's graceful and noble figure.

A visage of flourishing beauty, no words or language can describe her looks.

Before her beauty, almost every adjective appears pale and feeble.

Gu Qingcheng's face fully matches the aesthetic that all Eastern men have for a beauty.

If it were her sister, others would definitely say she was adjusted in the game, but… she is Gu Qingcheng.

This is Gu Qingcheng's original appearance; as the image ambassador of Teng Long Company, she needs no facial adjustments.

"Wow…"

"Wife!"

"Ni Zou Kai, that's my wife!"

"…"

Gu Qingcheng naturally couldn't see; a group of tourists surrounded her, drooling at her splendid beauty, calmly directing the players in their own team to act.

As for the tourists…

Tourist Mode also allows you to block other tourists, but a large group of newbies crowded around Gu Qingcheng, chattering nonstop, showed no intention of blocking anyone.

……

"We can't reach anyone else," Li Wenwan said.

"I guessed as much." Su Sheng was not surprised; it was a Battle Royale System, so you couldn't just land and immediately contact your own people to cooperate.

"Huh? Interesting, there's a BOSS close to us."

Chen Guan looked at the competition map in surprise and said.

"Can't we fight, Sheng?" Chen Guan looked at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng grinned, "Why not?"

In this arena, Su Sheng doesn't spare any team.

Unless the opponent groups together; in that case Su Sheng would find it troublesome.

Of course, it's only a feeling of difficulty, not an inability to battle.

"Go! Let's set off!"

Su Sheng glanced at the map, waved a big hand, mounted his mount, and led the party forward; of course Su Sheng controlled the speed, otherwise the others might not keep up.

And Chen Guan's figure slowly faded away.

Only the vanished assassin posed the greatest threat.

Su Sheng and his group thought they were fast, but someone was even faster than them!

When Su Sheng's party approached the BOSS location, a distant movement was heard; the group exchanged a surprised glance, someone had arrived first?

Naturally no command from Su Sheng was needed; Chen Guan had already gone to scout.

"Sheng brother, it's the War to Stop War team! Looks like they're the second squad!"

Soon Chen Guan's report was posted in the party channel.

Participants cannot hide their Hidden Nickname, so they can clearly identify who the other is.

This is also, so far, the only chat channel usable inside the arena.

Private Chat has become ineffective.

"Watch the situation first; we'll go out later and Sit and Reap the Fisherman's Profit!" Su Sheng grinned in response.

It's a Giant Wolf BOSS, apparently elite level.

The War to Stop War five‑person squad's composition is fairly complete: War Rider Cleric Bow, no assassin.

However, the warrior is a Trap Formation Warrior, while the knight is a War Knight riding a mount.

Thus the two melee players take turns tanking the BOSS; after all there's no dedicated main‑tank defender knight, but fortunately the Trap Formation Warrior has some tankiness, and with the Holy Light Priest behind, they could otherwise not hold this BOSS.

No wonder they're an elite squad of a famous guild; their coordination is extremely seamless, and their damage output is strong, allowing them to fully suppress the BOSS's healing rate.

Moreover, the archer seems to have a way to suppress the BOSS's healing; periodically the suppression effect disappears, and the BOSS goes a while without healing.

This makes their squad's raid on this Giant Wolf BOSS especially smooth.

Of course, if Su Sheng's group weren't watching hungrily from the side, they probably could have taken down the Giant Wolf smoothly.

Of course, all this was from Chen Guan's broadcast video; because the surrounding terrain is flat, getting too close leaves no place to hide, so the only one watching them fight the BOSS from the side was Chen Guan.

As time passed, the group suddenly lay in ambush for 30 minutes.

At this point, the War to Stop War team's battle with the Giant Wolf BOSS was almost over.

"Huh? Ah Sheng, it looks like one BOSS on the map disappeared," Su Ba Su Wenhao, bored as he looked at the map, suddenly said.

"Hm?"

Su Sheng was startled, opened the map and took a look.

Sure enough, of the nine BOSS icons, the one farthest away had vanished, clearly already pushed.

"I don't know whose move was that fast, but it's no big deal; after all we all have to go to the central Divine Beast City."

Su Sheng closed the map, looked at Chen Guan's live broadcast in the party channel, squinting slightly, "That's enough, let's go!"

"Roar!"

The Giant Wolf swung its massive claws, entering a frenzy.

The War Knight from the War to Stop War team immediately created distance, "Everyone be careful, the BOSS is about to go berserk, we've taken it down."

"Mage! Don't hold back your big skill on me!" The Trap Formation Warrior used an arm shield to block the Giant Wolf's claw, losing a chunk of health.

But the magic didn't explode.

"Hm?"

"Mage!" the Trap Formation Warrior shouted again, stumbling in a clumsy roll.

Smack!

The Detection Arrow exploded.

Huh?

How could they use a Detection Arrow?

The Trap Formation Warrior stared blankly, then realized the Mage's info panel in the party had turned gray-white.

Someone!

"Watch out! Kong Lang!"

The archer nervously shouted.

But within the Detection Arrow's range, there was no sign of Kong Lang.

"People of Yan Huang!?"

"Damn it, why show up at this crucial moment!"

"No, the timing is perfect; they might have been watching from the sidelines all along—what bad luck!"

"Give up on the boss, prepare to run!"

That War Knight is the squad's captain, commanding with a clear mind.

Although he was unwilling, as captain he had to stay rational; he knew full well that if his team truly encountered the team led by Mo Wen Qianchen, they would stand no chance.

Moreover, they had already lost a key damage dealer.

He had also seen the information, knowing Kong Lang was a member of Mo Wen Qianchen's team.

Just...

It seems already too late.

That Trap Formation Warrior still looked somewhat conflicted at the Giant Wolf BOSS before him, barely clinging to life.

Giving up now is really unwilling.

But...

A bolt of magic came crashing down.

A huge fireball!

"Late Falling Cherry's fireball! Dodge!" the War Knight snapped, eyes widening.

He knew Late Falling Cherry was a Hidden Class.

Boom!

The fireball exploded!

A 5x5 area was instantly engulfed in flames, AOE damage!

The archer and the priest were both caught within the attack range...
