Some of the grass on the grassland reached up to their waists. This team of six crouched and hid within a bush, waiting for Yu Zixiao to pass by and ambush him.
However, there was a Summoner in Yu Zixiao's team. The Summoner had a vulture pet that could fly high in the sky and search for enemies. Previously, Yu Zixiao had relied on the Summoner's vulture pet to locate the Black Wind Eagle.
Through the vulture pet, the Summoner had long since discovered the team hiding within the bush. Yu Zixiao and the others had already made preparations. If the team ambushed them, it would be tantamount to suicide.
"Boulder Arrow!"
The six players charged at Yu Zixiao from the bush. Yu Zixiao laughed loudly as he raised the black longbow in his hand. A gigantic, gray boulder arrow shot out!
No matter how large an ordinary arrow was, it was only the size of a thumb. However, the boulder arrow Yu Zixiao shot out was several times thicker than an arm!
Although the boulder arrow was large, its speed was not slow. The moment the team of six jumped out of the bush, their first thought was to attack Yu Zixiao. However, by the time they launched their attacks, Yu Zixiao's boulder arrow had already arrived before them.
"Dodge!"
At this stage of the game, players that had reached Level 40 and dared to participate in the A-rank examination all possessed some ability. At the very least, they had plenty of combat experience.
The team leader of the six-man team was an experienced veteran player. When he saw Yu Zixiao's boulder arrow, his heart trembled as he shouted a warning.
Although Yu Zixiao's boulder arrow was very fast, it was impossible for such a large arrow to have the ability to track its target. As long as they used Movement Skills and quickly dodged, they would be able to avoid the boulder arrow's attack.
Level 40 players more or less possessed Movement Skills. Under the team leader's warning, the six-man team's figures suddenly flashed as they dodged to the sides of the incoming boulder arrow.
As long as the boulder arrow did not track them, it would not be able to do anything to them!
"Childish!
How can this move of mine be so easy to dodge?! "
Yu Zixiao sneered when he saw this.
Peng!
With a single thought from Yu Zixiao, the giant stone arrow that had shot towards the center of the six people, but did not hit any of them, exploded with a loud bang!
Gravel flew in all directions, and pieces of gravel quickly hit the six people around him.
The speed of the rock fragments was very fast. When the six players used Movement Skills, they did not expect the boulder arrow to explode.
Damages of over -1,000 appeared one after another. In the blink of an eye, the six players lost nearly half of their HPs.
"Die!" The female Archer beside Yu Zixiao shouted as a rain of arrows shot towards the six of them.
The six of them were shocked and wanted to dodge, but an assassin had already appeared behind one of them.
Back attack!
Spiral Cut!
With just two skills, the Warrior with the best equipment in the six-man team was instantly killed by the Assassin!
In the blink of an eye, one of the six players had died, and the rest only had half of their HP left. Even if they drank their HP immediately to recover, they still couldn't turn the tables around.
Every member of Yu Zixiao's team had decent equipment and strength. With the advantage in hand, the remaining five had no room to retaliate. In less than two minutes, the six-man team was completely annihilated.
"Hahaha, not bad. Let's get off to a good start. It hasn't even been ten minutes since the start of the second stage, and we've already gotten a number tag!
10 of Hearts, let your Vulture pet look for people. We need to get 10 numbers as soon as possible! "
Yu Zixiao laughed heartily as he picked up the number plate on the ground.
"Okay." The Summoner in the team nodded and replied.
He was 10 of Hearts. He and his three other companions had been recruited by Yu Zixiao's parents.
Apart from him, the other three were J of Diamonds, Q of Clubs, and K of Spades.
10 of Hearts waved his staff and a strong Vulture pet appeared. It flew into the air and flew towards the grassland in the distance.
"Found them!"
Not long after, 10 of Hearts found the other team through his Vulture pet.
"Good!
Let's go and kill them! "
Yu Zixiao waved his hand heroically and shouted.
… …
"Hehe!
Obediently let us kill you. Resistance is just a waste of time! "
On the other side of the grassland, two teams were also fighting fiercely. However, one of the teams was clearly stronger. After a fierce battle, the other team was clearly not a match for them.
The team that had taken down Windy felt that victory was in their hands. They chuckled and persuaded the other team to give up resistance.
The other team only snorted and gritted their teeth to resist.
However, this was still a game. The equipment and attributes were there. No matter how unwilling they were, they couldn't change it.
Their equipment and attributes were inferior, and their skills were also inferior. Although this team tried very hard to kill the other team, the result was just as the other team said. It was just a waste of time.
"Die!"
The team that had the upper hand took advantage of the other team's rest and fiercely attacked. The other team was instantly defeated. In less than 30 seconds, everyone in the team was killed.
"Finally dead."
After killing the other team, the remaining team also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, they had only killed one team and obtained a number plate. Including their own number plates, they only had two. If they wanted to pass the assessment, they still had to kill eight more teams. If they consumed too much now and lost too many people, they wouldn't be able to survive until the end.
The team leader walked forward and wanted to pick up the number plate on the ground. However, at this time, a figure suddenly shot towards them.
"Who!"
This team's vigilance wasn't low. When the figure appeared, they immediately noticed it.
"Be careful of the attack!"
It was definitely an enemy attack. They were all prepared to defend against the other party's sneak attack and then counterattack.
However, this figure rushed into their midst and instantly turned into a hurricane.
Whoosh!
The hurricane flashed, and the entire team was swept into it.
"Steady!
When the skill ends, counterattack! "
They were all experts. The hurricane skill appeared suddenly, but the moment they were swept into the hurricane, they all drank a bottle of HP recovery potion. No matter how powerful the hurricane skill was, it couldn't kill them.
Under normal circumstances, their HP wouldn't even drop much. After all, their equipment was good.
However, they were shocked to find that this black hurricane skill's damage was too high. Every time it swept them, they lost more than 2,000 HP.
If they hadn't drunk a bottle of HP recovery potion when they were swept into the hurricane, just this skill alone would have been enough to kill several of them!
However, before they could rejoice that they reacted in time, they saw a figure appear outside the hurricane and a crossbow arrow hit them.
The crossbow arrow's damage was frighteningly high. With just one arrow, the faces of several people in the team changed drastically.
As an expert, he could roughly calculate his own HP and damage.
From the results of the calculation, they would die in the hurricane!
Would there be a miracle?
They could only hope that a miracle would happen and that they could survive the hurricane skill.
The hurricane skill ended and they still had a little HP left. They might be able to survive!
However, as another crossbow arrow hit them, they were all in despair.
They knew that the person who ambushed them had calculated the damage far better than them. Every crossbow arrow he shot wouldn't cause excessive damage.
Otherwise, everyone's HP wouldn't have been controlled to be almost the same.
Against such an opponent, even if they could survive this round of ambush, they wouldn't be a match for him!
When the hurricane skill ended, several people turned into white light and died, teleporting out of the Trial Tower's illusion.
"Heh, another two number tags!"
After killing six people, Chen Mo flew away and picked up the two number tags on the ground.
This was already the fifth number tag he had obtained. The second stage had only started for a little over ten minutes, and Chen Mo had already killed three teams and obtained five number tags.
There were over a hundred arrows in the illusion, and five number tags in a little over ten minutes was definitely not enough to calculate the time.
However, although there were so many teams, Chen Mo didn't need to kill all of them.
Other teams would also kill each other. Chen Mo didn't need to kill too many teams. It was very likely that there would only be twenty to thirty teams.
"Players who can reach level 40 are indeed quite capable. Ceci Hailow's hurricane skill couldn't kill them instantly."
Chen Mo thought.
After reaching level 40, Ceci Hailow's attributes didn't increase as much as he had expected. However, compared to players who hadn't gone through their second class advancement, she was still much stronger.
With Ceci Hailow's current attack power, she could kill most players instantly with her hurricane skill. Previously, Chen Mo had used the same method to let Ceci Hailow use her hurricane skill to ambush the opponent when they weren't prepared. This way, they could kill the opponent instantly and save time.
However, in the end, the hurricane skill, which could kill instantly, couldn't kill the opponent instantly due to their quick reactions.
However, with him dealing the final blow, no one who was ambushed by Ceci Hailow could survive.
If he and Ceci Hailow worked together, there would be no opponents in the illusion!
"Let's continue looking for the next target!"
With a move of his body, Chen Mo entered Camouflage mode …
After the second stage of the assessment began, the number of teams in the illusion decreased rapidly.
Under the rules of the assessment, there was no point in escaping. Many teams would fight fiercely when they encountered enemies, except for those who looked strong.
The weaker teams were naturally eliminated very quickly. However, there were also many teams with similar strength. Some teams suffered losses after killing their enemies.
In the end, when they encountered other teams, the teams with reduced strength could only be killed.
After an hour, the teams that were still alive were all expert players with considerable strength.
The number of teams that were still alive decreased rapidly. From the initial hundreds of teams, there were only about 20 teams left. There were less than 30 teams left. Each team had three to four number tags in their hands. Many teams only needed to kill one more team and if they were lucky enough, they would meet the requirements to pass the assessment.
"F * ck!
That Hunter's pet is too crazy. Don't ever bump into him. If you see him, run! "
"Is this guy a homicidal maniac?
From what we saw, he already had enough number tags, but he still killed everyone he saw! "
A Summoner in a team couldn't help but exclaim in anger as he watched the battle from afar through his pet.
…
The first stage was even worse.
