Fatal Shot - Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Desert, PK (3)

“Miss Phoenix! Later on, please don’t go too far from us! My Talent is a little unique, wait until the battle starts, the other side would definitely concentrate their fire on us, so we’d have to trouble you to protect us!” At the oasis region, Gigolo and Blown By The Wind had gone down. They hid behind a tree not far from where Phoenix was and spoke loudly, full of confidence.

Among the four of them below, two were Warriors and one a Scout – they all had a certain extent of close-combat ability.

Only he as a Wind Manipulator was afraid of being closed in on, thus it was a must for him to be protected by a close-combat later on.

However, the main point in Gigolo’s words clearly should have been the “Talent.” It could be predicted from his words that this fellow’s Talent should be awesome.

This was very reasonable – it would take at least a B-Grade Talent to be able to become a star player, and there were many among them who were of S-Grade Talents.

The preliminary criteria for many large guilds and financial groups to develop star players was to have at least an A-Grade Talent.

“Go and die, Gigolo, you mean I wouldn’t have to protect you later on – so I’m of no use.” Big Pineapple moved between him and Phoenix, blocking his view with his shield and with a look of disdain.

Phoenix, as a Light Armored Warrior, would definitely have to cut off the opponent’s vulnerable members, while he as a Heavy Armored Warrior should be the one to protect against the opponent’s output.

This Gigolo was looking at his War’s first shield (self-proclaimed) in the eye.

“Hmph…” Being cut by Big Pineapple, a look of spite flashed across Blown By The Wind’s eyes.

There was no way for him to fight with Big Pineapple, so he rather not speak to Big Pineapple, turning to converse with his few fans with friend authorizations.

“Hm, what? Y’all are saying the five people on the other side are all star players ranked at the top 50…what a joke, it’s impossible.” Immediately, he received some pretty unbelievable news.

After the news of the five star players allocated into a group had been exposed on the forum, it was coincidental that there was one person among Blown By The Wind’s spectators who was browsing through the forum too, resulting in quickly finding out that it seemed like his own idol was also in this battle but on the other side, according to the Wind Eagle previously sniped by Feng Luo.

“Five star players – which five are they?” After Blown By The Wind was shocked, he probed.

However, this question had no reply.

“I’ve forgotten that such a PK can be spectated, but the system will block out some of the sensitive content related to the battle situation…”

Blown By The Wind knew why the other party did not reply, because obtaining important information through the spectators was not permitted – the system would automatically block it out.

Even if that person had said it, he would not be able to hear.

“But the five people on the other side are all top 50 star players – how’s that possible?” However, Blown By The Wind certainly felt that it was unbelievable.

The system would technically make a balance of ability for such randomized team PKs.

This meant that at least in the system’s assessment, both parties in every round generally would not have too big a gap in ability.

On the other side of this round was five star players, that ranked at the top 50 – such a team would definitely be considered a superb team in the game.

Although the ranking was not equivalent to ability, he had to admit that players able to enter the top 50 definitely wouldn’t be weaker than him and were possibly even a level stronger than him.

Most importantly, in this situation, their team of five still had a Scout who didn’t have very good combat experience and equipment who should have been used to make up the numbers.

This could only mean one thing, that among the other three players over on their side, the system had determined that there was at least one person whose ability surpassed the star players on the other side, thus used this Scout to balance the abilities of the two parties.

“Who’s this person?” Blown By The Wind’s face did not look too good; he had initially determined that this Scout player was used to balance himself. but now it was proven that he was overestimating himself.

It was possible that he was someone used to balance… because his ability should be a level below the opponent’s side.

“That Sniper?” Blown By The Wind instantly thought of that Sniper left on the sand dune who had hidden his personal information.

After all, with Phoenix mentioning the identity of “Leader Feng” previously, it had shown that the Sniper was the main character in the “Triple Black” team.

“It can’t be this Heavy Armored Warrior.” Gigolo looked at Big Pineapple in front of him once more, who was wretchedly peeping at Phoenix.

Speaking of Phoenix, Gigolo realized that the fiery rose-like female Light Armored Warrior was then actually feeding her pet.

“Jelly, here’s a reward in advance, perform well later on.” Phoenix put a faint blue-colored crystal core between two fingers and gave it to a beady-eyed Jelly, which was lying at her feet and was seemingly a little depressed from being unable to jump into its owner’s arms.

“Gurgle!” Seeing the blue crystal core in Phoenix’s hand, the dull Jelly instantly let out a delightful noise, swallowing down the crystal core in one bite.

“A crystal core?” Blown By The Wind was a little surprised.

Although many pets had the habit of eating crystal cores in the game, this was also a way for the system to suck players’ money.

In most situations, players would only feed their pets with crystals and not crystal cores, as the value of one crystal core was many times more expensive than crystals of the same grade.

“Female players raising pets are really generous. Eh, this pet seems a bit strange – how has it so quickly digested half a crystal core?” Blown By The Wind discovered a strange point.

After swallowing the crystal core into its stomach, Phoenix’s pet, which looked dense and whose information could not be seen, had the fist-sized crystal core shrinking at a speed visible by the naked eye. Its semi-transparent body started to become a little blue in color and there were some Water Energy waves produced.

“Gurgle…gurgle…”

However, when he had not seen clearly yet, Phoenix seemed to have said something to Jelly.

Jelly blinked its eyes, after which it speedily rolled towards the lake not far away.

With a “plop” after entering this lake of tens of meters wide, its slightly blue semi-transparent body became completely invisible.

“God Wind, there’s movement, that direction!” That Scout player who was a fan of the Gigolo followed close behind him; once he put down his Recon Meter, a prompting message finally appeared on his Excellent-Grade Recon Meter.

On its screen, three dispersed yellow dots appeared, representing that some non-human creature was closing in at high speed.

“That should be the other players on the other side summoned their pets.” The Scout player determined.

“Looking from the direction from which these pets are coming…oh no, God Wind, be careful! Beside your pet…” The Scout player’s face changed.

He shouted like this when suddenly, another yellow dot on the Recon Meter and the position of that yellow dot was close to Gigolo’s Desert Rock Lizard “Prince” hiding in the sand.

He had not finished speaking when the movement over the sand dunes cut him off.

“Boom!”

A sand dune which had no unusual situation on its surface suddenly exploded upward; from the sand flying into the air, the huge Desert Rock Lizard drilled out from the ground with a painful cry.

A humongous snake was tightly coiled around it with a gold-colored tale continuously shaking and making rattling noises, wrenching and breaking its bones.

It was a Desert Golden Rattlesnake, a Level 45 Commander-Grade pet.
