The white text floating above the crystal changed.
[Protect your crystal, destroy the enemy crystal (1/3)]
The number behind the text indeed indicated the number of rounds. Now, they had won one round.
Bai Yue stood in front of the crystal, watching Mu Sihan leave.
Although he had just made some guesses, he hadn’t had time to explain the specific plan due to time constraints.
But Mu Sihan’s actions were indeed very clear.
The shortest distance between two points was a straight line. The top and bottom lanes took the longest, so he would definitely go straight for the enemy’s stronghold from the middle lane. Correspondingly, the behavior of the disciplinary team monitoring them would likely have two possibilities.
Under the premise that “Mu Sihan will disobey orders and go to the enemy camp alone,” in order to eliminate this person as quickly as possible, the enemy might have most of their people directly block the middle lane.
But in this case, the crystal would face the risk of being lost, which was unlikely.
Another possibility was that most of their people would stay at the camp.
Because theoretically, Mu Sihan would definitely be the first to arrive at the enemy camp. Before the others arrive, they could use this small time difference to eliminate one person through numerical superiority.
After that, dealing with the remaining four would be very simple.
Therefore, they had to reach the enemy camp as quickly as possible. They would strike while Mu Sihan was distracted.
His footsteps barely left a mark on the mud before he was gone like the wind.
He had encountered two enemies on the way, but this time he passed without hindrance.
Mu Sihan frowned almost imperceptibly but didn’t stop. He quickly reached the enemy camp.
Not far ahead, only one enemy stood before the red crystal.
Mu Sihan paused.
According to Bai Yue’s guess, most of the enemies should remain at the camp this time. He hadn’t encountered anyone else on his way. Had they gone elsewhere, or was it a trap?
In the last battle, to finish quickly, he had ignored the charging enemies and gone straight to the enemy camp. There was no one left there then, and he easily pushed down the crystal.
Therefore, the enemy’s true strength was still unknown.
But whether it was a trap or something else, he wasn’t going to change his course.
Mu Sihan moved even faster.
The enemy remaining before the crystal finally noticed the movement and turned to look.
Besides that, there was no further movement.
No reaction?
Mu Sihan frowned.
Just then, there was a rustling sound from the bushes on both sides. At the same time, two dark figures darted out and pounced straight towards the center!
Being in a blind spot, Mu Sihan didn’t notice them.
However, when he saw that there was only one person in front of the crystal, he had already prepared himself.
Being ambushed, he simply rolled on the spot and narrowly dodged the attack.
The next second, two more dark figures rushed out and attacked him.
Mu Sihan delivered a side kick, striking him hard in the side. Then he retreated, creating distance between himself and the four enemies.
He surveyed his surroundings.
Although it had only been a few exchanges, he could already clearly judge the strength of the enemies.
They were not weak.
1v1 was no problem, but one against four would be very troublesome.
Bai Yue said they were virtual enemies, so their strength ceiling was very high. It should be that the strength would be dynamically adjusted according to their situation.
In addition, there was another sentence that made him concerned.
He thought that Bai Yue had found him and said those words, hoping that he would follow his command. But in the end, all that remained was,
“Just act according to your own ideas.”
Having dodged another enemy attack, Mu Sihan’s eyes flashed with coldness.
There was no need to listen to that person.
Even without that statement, he would have acted according to his own will.
The bearded man crouched in the grass, staring dumbfounded at the scene before him.
Although he already knew this blond kid was skilled, to withstand such a powerful attack for so long was simply incredible.
Although he had encountered two enemies in the previous round, their strength was completely different. It seemed these enemies were the type that grew stronger against stronger opponents and weaker against weaker ones.
Thinking this, the bearded man shook his head.
What nonsense! He, the bearded man, was no weakling! He could only blame that person for being too strong.
Two minutes passed. Mu Sihan was now completely at a disadvantage.
These virtual enemies had an extremely strong learning ability, able to quickly adjust according to his attack habits. Moreover, the four of them coordinated perfectly, leaving no gaps.
The bearded man also noticed that the blond kid was being forced into a retreat. He was somewhat anxious and couldn’t help but ask the person beside him.
“How long until we can move? If we go help him now, we might be able to turn the tide!”
“Let’s wait a bit longer.”
Bai Yue also crouched in the bushes. He looked calmly at the intense battle scene not far away.
Wait, wait, wait, how long have we been waiting!
The bearded man couldn’t understand.
They had followed Mu Sihan from the middle lane shortly after he set off. Another person went to the bottom lane, and Cao Xun stayed behind to guard the camp. It could be said that they had completely abandoned the defense of the top lane.
He had been a little worried at first, but when he saw that the five enemies had indeed stayed behind, he immediately looked at Bai Yue with new respect.
He had been eager to be a hero and rush to the rescue, but he was stopped and told that it wasn’t the right time yet.
Thinking of this, the bearded man couldn’t help but look at the boy beside him.
What was this guy thinking? Weren’t they a team?
At this moment, he finally heard the other person speak: “Let’s go.”
The time has come?
The bearded man was stunned and looked ahead again. Seemingly impatient, the person guarding the crystal finally made a move and quickly rushed towards Mu Sihan.
This was practically the last straw. Dealing with four equally matched enemies was already difficult enough; adding another would likely result in defeat.
Now, the time had finally come for the bearded man to make his move!
The bearded man, stroking his thick beard, burst out of the bushes.
“Buddy, I’m here to save you!”
Mu Sihan heard a shout behind him and glanced to the side. He saw a tall, burly figure knock one enemy away and land behind him.
The bearded man gave him a thumbs-up: “Don’t worry, leave it to me! I’ll protect you from behind!”
Mu Sihan: “…”
Although the bearded man’s surprise attack disrupted their formation, the five enemies quickly regrouped and launched a new attack.
Having personally experienced the enemy’s intense and swift attack, the bearded man finally understood just how powerful this blond youth truly was. How could he hold out for so long? He was already overwhelmed just dealing with one.
Wait, where’s the other one?
The bearded man remembered Bai Yue’s presence, looked up, and discovered that the other hadn’t followed him; instead, he had taken a longer route and was heading straight for the crystal!
Mu Sihan noticed Bai Yue’s actions and immediately understood.
So that’s how it was— using him as bait.
Seeing the situation change, one of the enemies broke away and attacked Bai Yue.
Bai Yue retreated, dodging the attack in time.
He looked at the tall and imposing enemy before him. Although the enemy was wearing the Imperial Universe uniform, his expression was completely wooden.
Seeing the attack fail, he showed no reaction whatsoever but continued his relentless attacks.
Bai Yue touched his earpiece: “Have you arrived yet?”
Although they were far apart, the bearded man could still hear Bai Yue’s gentle voice through the earpiece.
Bai Yue: “Attack the crystal.”
The words had barely left his lips when another figure rushed out from the top and bottom lanes.
The bearded man then realized that the member who had gone down the bottom lane had arrived sometime earlier.
Almost without communication, the enemy reacted swiftly. Another person was sent to attack the student.
Mu Sihan acted in time, grabbing the person’s shoulder and slamming him to the ground, blocking his path.
The top, middle, and bottom lanes were far apart. Most of the enemies were currently near the middle lane, aiming to attack Mu Sihan.
Bai Yue, however, had deliberately chosen the top lane when circling back.
The bottom lane member, unhindered, charged straight towards the red team’s crystal.
Seeing their base about to fall, the five enemy members abandoned their fight and tried to rush back to defend the crystal. But they were repeatedly blocked.
The bottom lane member delivered a side kick, striking the crystal hard.
Instantly, cracks appeared on the crystal from the inside out, spreading like a spiderweb— the next second it shattered! It transformed into a golden light, merging into the air.
A mechanical female voice rang out.
“Blue team, Xu Chengdong knocked down the crystal.”
“Blue team wins, teleportation begins in 1 minute.”
The bearded man, who had been pinned down by the enemy, immediately fell silent after the crystal shattered, like a doll that had run out of oil. He shoved his opponent aside, jumped up, and cheered.
“We won!”
Xu Chengdong was still somewhat disoriented after kicking the crystal.
Everything had happened so fast that he couldn’t even believe he had succeeded.
Due to the prolonged fight, Mu Sihan’s fair face was covered in dust. But he didn’t care and turned to look at Bai Yue not far away.
The other party noticed his gaze and looked back, then quickly approached.
Bai Yue: “One more round, how are you feeling?”
Although he wasn’t seriously injured, the previous round had indeed taken a toll on his stamina.
However, Mu Sihan wasn’t the type to reveal such things, so he didn’t answer, only saying, “Was this your plan?”
Bai Yue was taken aback, then said, “Sorry, I used you as bait.”
Mu Sihan: “It doesn’t matter.”
He was just acting according to his own ideas.
The bearded man’s gaze shifted between the two, then he crossed his arms: “But why didn’t you let us act sooner? That way, the kid’s injuries would be less.”
Bai Yue shook his head: “We had to wait until the last person left the crystal.”
Based on Mu Sihan’s speed, it would take him 8 minutes to cover the middle lane. The other two would take about 11 minutes to cover the top and bottom lanes, barring interception.
Therefore, the enemy had a 3-minute time difference. They had to eliminate Mu Sihan within those 3 minutes. Otherwise, if they exceeded that time, it would be too late for their teammates to arrive.
However, this was just an estimate. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, they needed to observe the situation closely.
Therefore, Bai Yue abandoned the top lane and had the bearded man accompany him to the middle lane. They needed to reach the enemy camp as quickly as possible to react accordingly. The bottom lane team would proceed as before.
Bai Yue explained, “In short, our goal isn’t to defeat the enemy, but to destroy the crystal.”
The bearded man seemed to understand yet also seemed not to. But he didn’t care; as long as they won, that was all that mattered.
Thinking of this, he laughed heartily.
