Chapter 684: The premise of cooperation is equal strength between both sides

Ding~

Battlefield notification: The fifth-year Nian Beast Boss has spawned…

At the same time, the system notification sound suddenly rang out!

Without realizing it, the Nian Beast battlefield has already been open for five hours!

Su Sheng glanced at the map!

In an instant, the red dots on the map became a bit denser.

"Here we go again, can we leave now?"

Su Sheng looked at the Kangaroo Country's Discipline Priest and asked.

"No, I've tried it; if we leave the combat range, after a certain time our contributions will be reset to zero."

The Kangaroo Country's Discipline Priest shook his head: "For this, I even lost some points."

Su Sheng nodded upon hearing that: "Then let's wait; although it takes some time to drown, it's still better than losing points."

So the two waited in place, of course they couldn't stay completely still, because staying motionless would make them sink into the swamp faster!

(PS: This is just a game setting; in reality, the more you thrash about in a swamp, the faster you sink. Of course, I believe my heroic ancestors and readers will never encounter such danger!!)

After waiting for a while~

Ding~

Killed the Nian Beast Boss (Commander Rank), gained points…

In the end, Su Sheng's contribution ratio was thirteen percent, earning him thirteen thousand points.

And the Kangaroo Country's Discipline Priest's contribution ratio was four percent, earning him four thousand points!

Output time is genuinely limited; facing a Commander Rank, Su Sheng could only deal damage when the boss's deeply trapped state reached fifty percent.

As for the Kangaroo Country's Discipline Priest, although he only got four thousand points, he was also very satisfied.

He couldn't do anything about insufficient output.

The remaining contribution was all on the "swamp".

"Let's go, continue to the next one! Hopefully we find a Commander Rank boss!"

Su Sheng grinned.

"Good..." The Discipline Priest naturally had nothing to say about that.

Although the Huaxia player has to rely on kiting the Nian Beast boss to a fifty percent sunk state.

But even without this Huaxia player, at most they'd contribute four or five percent, and the rest would have to come from the swamp.

But if he refused, he'd likely be killed outright by that Huaxia player.

In that case, it's better to let him follow along.

Next, Su Sheng and that Discipline Priest began searching for Elite Rank and Commander Rank bosses within this swamp area, then using the swamp terrain's effect to kill those bosses.

Of course, along the way they also saw many players revived in this swamp.

Of course, most of them simply drowned.

Although some Discipline Priests or Priest players discovered a method, or some had means to handle the swamp terrain players.

But most of them did not linger in this swamp.

Because there are too few people in this swamp, most players lack the ability to solo bosses.

Of course, it's not that no players discovered the swamp's characteristics, but ultimately they are only a minority; either they discovered it but had no way to deal with the swamp's deep-sink debuff.

Those who can resolve the swamp debuff and also discover and utilize the swamp terrain are truly few... Of course, there are still some!

This isn't...

Su Sheng's side had just found a Commander Rank boss when they ran into a three-person team.

One archer, one Discipline Priest, one Holy Light Priest!

They used almost the same method, relying on Purification to move about in the swamp, and kiting the boss.

The swamp is very open!

Su Sheng spotted them, and they naturally also spotted Su Sheng and his companion.

The trio are all from the same server... the Hans Country server's players. (De)

The three, while kiting, exchanged a glance.

"What do you mean?"

"Fight or..."

"If we fight, three versus two gives us an advantage, but we can't guarantee… our side won't lose members; if we lose people, who knows when we'll be able to regroup."

The three whispered among themselves.

Although they had just met, their coordination was good, and being from the same server, they were trustworthy.

If they lost members, even if they could resurrect back in this swamp, it's uncertain whether they could regroup.

"Let's first check them out, see if they have hostile intent; since they're also walking in this swamp, they obviously discovered this area's special method."

"Good…"

…

"How should we say?"

The Kangaroo Country's Discipline Priest looked toward Su Sheng.

"No conflict, just follow along; when it reaches fifty percent, go up and deal output."

"Good!"

As long as those three don't make a move, Su Sheng also has no intention of fighting.

After all…

Killing a person yields only a point.

As for whether the other side would stop them from dealing damage, Su Sheng believed they wouldn't.

After all, those who can notice the swamp's peculiarities are smart people; they probably understand that even if they don't let Su Sheng and them fight, those points would be wasted.

They probably don't want to start a conflict either, after all, such an auspicious land—no one wants an accident.

As expected…

The three saw that Su Sheng and the other were just following, with no intention to attack, and they understood what Su Sheng and the other were thinking.

"Looks like they're planning to mooch food and drink."

"Then let them be; anyway, the damage phase is just a few minutes, and in the end we still have to rely on the swamp to drown the boss."

"It doesn't matter if we give them the points we can't get; otherwise they'd just be counted toward the swamp."

"Yeah, avoiding conflict is a good thing."

As time passed, the Commander-level Boss soon reached a fifty percent sunk state.

Both sides, in tacit understanding, each went all out.

"Holy shit… that Huaxia Players is awesome!"

"Damn, lucky we didn't start a conflict, otherwise we might really have been sent packing by him."

The three from Hans Country noticed the boss's contribution panel, because the boss had just fallen into a fifty percent sunk state not long ago.

The swamp's blood‑deduction share is quite low.

It can be seen that one Huaxia Players' contribution share reaches as high as seventy percent.

Second is the Hans Country Archer, third is the Kangaroo Country Discipline Priest, fourth is the Hans Country Discipline Priest, and fifth is naturally the Hans Country Holy Light Priest.

This Holy Light Priest really has it hard—she can't even scrape any damage.

A few minutes later, this Commander-level Nian Beast boss had already completely sunk into the swamp.

Then the two sides exchanged a glance.

The three Hans Country players had never felt they could show such a sincere smile.

They were afraid Su Sheng would just send them packing…

Su Sheng gave a slight nod, also showing no intention to attack.

Then both sides retreated to a safe distance, waiting for this Commander-level Nian Beast Boss to be drowned.

…

As the kill notification sounded, the three Hans Country players immediately fled backward as if escaping for their lives.

Su Sheng also ignored them, glanced at the map, picked a direction, and set off with the Kangaroo Country Discipline Priest.

Seeing the two figures disappearing into the distance, the three Hans Country players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Good thing we didn't fight…"

"Why don't we team up with them?"

"The precondition for cooperation is that both sides have equal strength; I think that Huaxia Players might be the Top Rank player—just look at the point gain, it matches exactly the contribution share of that Huaxia Players we saw earlier."

"So… not cooperating is best; just that one Huaxia Players could send us all packing."
