The game ID of the scavenger is just called [Scavenger].
In the first season, Jiang Shi was also only known by his name but not seen in person.
The reason why I have a particularly deep impression is that there are really not many people who can be scolded more miserably by the whole server than him. This scavenger is one of them.
Probably because of his excessive notoriety, Jiang Shi subconsciously thought of him as a male scavenger. He didn’t expect to meet the real person today, and he turned out to be a dwarf sister.
A thief profession.
The dwarf cannon and the dwarf scavenger are both dwarfs, but they have very different personalities. The dwarf cannon is a proud warrior, while the dwarf scavenger is a more humble character who prefers to use traps to defeat their enemies.
However, from a certain perspective, the existence of thieves is like a tailor-made job for scavengers.
Jiang Shi watched from a distance for a while, and seeing that the scavenger had finished checking one pile of corpses and was quickly starting to patrol the next, he was also quite impressed by his movements that were unharmed by the rain of bullets: “This operation, amazing!”
What Pen Carries Fragrance held his breath, focused, and waited for instructions. Suddenly, he heard Jiang Shi say something, and due to excessive nervousness, he shivered. After regaining his composure, he couldn’t help but complain, “Can you be a bit more reliable? We’re here to steal the boss, and you’re getting entertained!”
“What’s the matter? Sharp moves should be appreciated. Besides, it’s still early. Let’s watch for a while longer.” Jiang Shi smiled and patted What Pen Carries Fragrance’s shoulder, signaling him to relax. “You don’t need to be so tense now. We still have some time to wait. You can take a break right here, think of it as watching an entertainment show.”
What Pen Carries Fragrance’s mouth twitched a couple of times but ultimately didn’t say anything more.
He kept his expression tense and watched the ongoing brawl not far away with a cold demeanor.
After a while, he found that this close-range spectating was indeed quite interesting.
Jiang Shi also re-entered the mode of watching the excitement.
Just as he said, there was still plenty of time.
For this top-tier boss in the new map, even without any interference, it would take at least a few hours to defeat with just one guild. Moreover, they were currently in a chaotic situation with multiple guilds competing.
The fighting was intense, so there was no need for their early involvement.
What they needed to wait for was mainly the last stage when the boss’s health dropped below 10%.
The health of the Deathstalker Bruce rapidly declined as the various guilds made efforts.
The players from the mid and high-level guilds who entered the boss early had more and more deaths, and the long resurrection time forced them to withdraw from the subsequent competition.
Gradually, the situation was taken over by the three major professional guilds.
If initially the Crusaders, Sword and Wine, and Rattlesnake were still testing each other, after the boss’s health dropped below 50%, the main teams that had been waiting for an opportunity finally appeared.
From this point on, the situation underwent a complete change.
Jiang Shi made a new discovery as he glanced around, raising his eyebrows with interest.
Looking at the formation adjustments, it was clear that the Crusaders and Sword and Wine guilds had already reached a consensus. They intended to join forces first to eliminate the huge threat of Rattlesnake.
In the current situation, Rattlesnake was indeed the most dominant of the three guilds, so the tactical alliance made sense.
Unfortunately, in the current game, these verbal agreements were as insincere as some reality TV shows.
Looking at the formation arrangement of the Crusaders and Sword and Wine as they encircled Rattlesnake, it was evident that each of them had their own calculations.
Unless there were unexpected developments, it was likely that before they could defeat Rattlesnake, their internal conflicts might cause their own downfall.
Jiang Shi enjoyed watching these internal power struggles, but he hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his presence today. After observing for a while and seeing that the time was right, he finally issued his first command, “Prepare to move out, Fourth Squad, with me. The others stay in place and be ready to support when I provide the coordinates.”
The team channel quickly filled with “1” to signal their acknowledgment.
Jiang Shi, leading his team, took action.
Deep Well Ice Player, who had been lying in ambush on the other side, also began to move towards them.
Based on his earlier observations, Jiang Shi had quickly identified the target group.
Without hesitation, he selected the group nearest to their position and, as they emerged from cover, he immediately set up a slowing effect rune area right on the spot.
These Crusader gang members had just respawned and rushed back from the revival area, clearly not expecting an attack from a distance away from the battle.
Under the continuous effect of the rune field, their movements were slowed down.
One of them reacted quickly and attempted to counterattack, but Jiang Shi easily avoided it with his positioning.
At the same time, the other members of Jiang Shi’s team closed in.
While Jiang Shi himself was just a level 75 support character with limited damage output, Gentleman Fan and Deep Well Ice Player, who had rushed over, were powerful damage dealers with newly equipped gear. There was also the Sweetie Cutie in Jiang Shi’s team, dressed in a gold-colored, custom-made outfit, whose area-of-effect damage took care of the resurrected Crusader gang members in an instant.
Jiang Shi glanced at the guild to which these ambushers belonged and the frustrated Crusader gang members, who had fallen victim to the attack, couldn’t help but seek support in the guild channel, “Granville Jungle (3332, 992), guild leader, this location! We were ambushed by members of Seven Silver Coins!”
Seven Silver Coins?
When Pojun Baba saw the guild name, he was slightly stunned. After thinking about it, he still couldn’t remember if there was such a guild name in the guilds that he had cleared just now.
Seeing the fierce battle in the core area, he finally decided not to be distracted by this small problem: “Don’t worry about them, come back as soon as you are resurrected!”
Compared to these, Pojun Baba was even more annoyed by the fact that Yu Weize really didn’t log in.
If it weren’t for that Yu Weize who really stood them up, causing a shortage of people in their main group, they wouldn’t have had to lower their status and cooperate with a third-rate guild like Sword and Wine!
Pojun Baba reminded his gang members who had returned from the resurrection point to be careful, and continued to pay attention to the battle ahead.
As a result, within half a minute, someone in the guild channel cried out again. This time, it was at another coordinate position, and another team was ambushed.
Seven silver coins again?!
Pojun Baba only felt a throbbing in his temples, until the third victim team appeared. In the end, he had to send out a team from the main group to support the gang members who had returned from the resurrection point, despite the huge pressure from the front.
But when the support team arrived at the coordinates reported by the victim, the five people with seven silver coins had already completed their transfer. They waved their sleeves and left without a trace.
After failing several times in a row, the originally restless mood exploded even more.
Pojun Baba bit his teeth and gave the order: “Chase! Continue to chase them around the periphery! Let’s clean up this troublemaker first!”
In fact, not only the Crusaders were the victims.
Jiang Shi led a small team, patrolling and not getting too close to the central area. They specifically targeted isolated groups returning from the respawn point.
In essence, they weren’t really targeting anyone. It was similar to how professional guilds dealt with regular guilds, trying to force the enemy to use their resurrection cooldowns as much as possible before the decisive phase officially arrived.
Initially, Jiang Shi tested the team members’ performance.
Gentleman Fan and Deep Well Ice Player could keep up with his pace to the extreme, which was expected. What was surprising was that even Sweetie Cutie and the newly joined priest in the team cooperated with the team’s rhythm from start to finish, without falling behind in the slightest.
If it were really a coincidence, it could only be said that the Seven Silver Coins guild was a hidden powerhouse.
As Jiang Shi contemplated this, he also paid attention to the surrounding situation.
At a glance, he instantly noticed the actions taken by the professional guilds against their team, which specialized in catching isolated players.
After playing cat and mouse for so long, they had finally come face to face.
The group approaching them was the command team of the Crusaders’ Third Battalion.
Although they couldn’t compare to the top professional players, in the game, they were already high-end players, far beyond what ordinary players could match. In addition, they brought two extra teams, and upon first encounter, they directly charged forward, leveraging their numerical advantage.
“Run.”
Jiang Shi didn’t hesitate to increase his speed and send out a new coordinate to his team members.
This was for What Pen Carries Fragrance, and the others to see.
However, the rest of the Seven Silver Coins guild members were still some distance away from them, so they had to fend for themselves until the formal rendezvous.
In the blink of an eye, a swarm of mechanical devices had rushed from the Crusaders’ formation.
The guild with the most engineers on the entire server was no joke.
Although each person had a limit to the number of mechanical units they could control, the entire team, or even the entire raid, synchronized their attacks. The scale of this onslaught was so impressive that it could trigger a fear of crowds.
The slowing field set up by Jiang Shi provided some buffer for most of the mechanical units as they passed through it.
Deep Well Ice Player seized the opportunity and directly activated a chaotic bombardment mode.
Under the effect of randomly firing shells within the area, he also followed up with five consecutive chained shots.
Amid the consecutive explosions, wreckage was scattered all over.
Facing the densely packed mechanical units that continued to pursue, there was soon a double explosion of grenades and artillery.
Deep Well Ice Player, facing such a barrage of targets, wasn’t at all in a desperate situation. Instead, his face gradually displayed an excited expression.
Gentleman Fan, observing this scene, couldn’t help but shake his head. “It’s over, this explosion maniac is on a roll.”
As he spoke, his sprinting steps didn’t stop for a moment, and the iron fan in his hand swayed back and forth, indicating that he had no intention of retaliating against the mechanical units outside his expertise. There was no sign of him being in a life-or-death situation.
Jiang Shi successively arranged rune domains, overlapping and weaving a perfect output environment for Deep Well Ice Player.
Hearing Gentleman Fan’s words, he also chuckled, “As long as he’s having fun.”
With continued pulling and dragging, there were only two intersections left to reach the gathering point for What Pen Carries Fragrance, and the others.
Sweetie Cutie suddenly spoke up, “There’s an ambush.”
Jiang Shi had naturally sensed it as well.
Before the words even landed, an immobilization field had already been deployed in the left area.
His command was concise, “Don’t stop, charge through.”
The conversation of the two individuals almost overlapped, with no gap in between, directly causing everyone to accelerate without hesitation.
Lurking ahead was the team of the Rattlesnake.
It was clear that they were also here to catch Jiang Shi and his team, but when they saw the Crusaders’ team behind them, they naturally developed the idea of annihilating them together.
The moment the melee players were immobilized by Jiang Shi’s rune field, the mid-range and long-range players of the Rattlesnake team quickly launched an attack.
Jiang Shi was quick to act, and in a moment, he had set up two fields in front of him and behind him.
This was one of the new types of stones that Jiang Shi wanted to test.
The priest within the team, immobilized by Jiang Shi’s rune field, frantically attempted to evade the skills. As they looked up, they helplessly watched as the bullets and spells interwoven in that area disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, it was as if they had teleported and appeared in the other rune field behind them.
The pursuing Crusader troops from the rear clearly hadn’t expected this “ambush.”
After taking simultaneous hits, they immediately began wailing.
“Don’t touch the field, go around it,” Jiang Shi casually reminded, occasionally using some insignificant healing spells to assist the immobilized Warm Hands.
Meanwhile, at this moment, the Rattlesnake’s close combat members had passed through the immobilization domain and caught up.
Han Yuze had been slacking off for quite some time. Seeing those people getting closer to Jiang Shi at the forefront, he finally loaded his gun and said, “You guys go ahead.”
His level 75 skill, Gun Mastery, activated.
The barrel of the gun was already aimed at the front row of individuals, and he quickly switched to various gun stances to unleash a rapid burst that mowed down a group of enemies.
Following this, his floating gun sent the several individuals who had just avoided the burst into the air. With the acceleration effect enabled, he precisely adjusted his aim, using the ignited deceleration effect to shoot while nimbly creating distance between himself and his pursuers.
However, a rogue suddenly appeared from behind.
With a swift flash of a sharp dagger, it seemed as if it was about to cut the neck of the girl with a pinkish appearance. But the moment the rune field was established, a network of vines immediately wrapped around his ankles. Simultaneously, the electric shock from two tiny mechanical devices caused a brief paralysis, giving Han Yuze the opportunity to counterattack and score a headshot.
During the process of covering the retreat of the machine gun girl, Jiang Shi observed everything in silence.
The brief cover allowed the people at the front and the team with Warm Hands to successfully regroup.
Jiang Shi quickly erected another slowdown field. After a moment of respite, the Crusaders’ team, which was already in a mess in the pursuit, was still entangled with the Rattlesnake team on one side, and then raised their heads again, and saw that the large army of seven silver coins also rushed over.
Han Yuze hadn’t played the Artillery Expert for a long time. He had just shown off his skills a moment ago, and his mood was not bad. Before returning to the team, he did not forget to fire a few suppressing shots, directly scoring headshots on the individuals at the forefront.
The entire maneuver could be described as quite impressive. When What Pen Carries Fragrance and the others rushed to support, they witnessed such a scene and couldn’t help but be amazed, saying, “Cutie, you’re amazing!”
Han Yuze chuckled, “Not bad.”
Throughout the entire process, Jiang had been silently observing What Pen Carries Fragrance’s actions. Without a doubt, at several critical moments, the coordination she provided was exceptionally smooth.
At this point, Jiang Shi continued to scan the battlefield for a chance to turn the tide of the team fight.
As he watched the professional guild teams finish off the seven silver coins after a long journey of training, he suddenly said out of the blue, “Hey, you forgot to turn on your voice changer.”
“Ah, is there? Let me see… erm.”
Han Yuze, who was in the middle of eliminating a few Crusader henchmen, replied before realizing, immediately closing his mouth.
The team channel fell silent for a moment.
What Pen Carries Fragrance’s voice immediately rose in disbelief: “What, your voice is so natural, little cutie, it’s actually a voice changer?!”
A faint chuckle from Jiang Shi, full of meaning, could be heard.
Han Yuzhe, who was on the verge of falling apart, shook his head.
oh he was found out?
