CHAPTER 333: AFTER REVISION: CHAPTER 285, READ AFTER CORRECTIONS AT 12 O’CLOCK_2

Boom!!!

The stone pillar struck the empty air, creating another web-like crack on the ground.

With two moves, Ito Miho forced back three top fighters, giving Yan Guang the opportunity to launch a second round of miniature missiles.

This time, she chose more advanced missiles, no longer the slender, toothpick-like projectiles, but instead transformed into round, black little balls.

The slender miniature missiles are more suitable for long-distance precision strikes and are highly effective against well-defended enemies.

These black balls are the complete opposite, ideal for mid-range bombardments, and have a more powerful impact.

The dense black balls poured down like a storm towards Ito Miho.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In the series of explosions, the impact force surged like a tide, wave after wave, pushing Ito Miho back repeatedly, unable to stand steadily.

As this round of explosions ended, Yan Guang needed some time to cool down the ammunition bay, leaving only Lin Fengjiao holding the Daiyu Spear to slowly advance towards Ito Miho.

Li Zheng did not rush in this time, quietly waiting for the flames to die down.

Yan Guang’s mechanical arm was already Platinum, and the bombing used the same tier of missiles just now, with immense power.

High-tier items often denote high value and rarity. Yan Guang herself did not prepare many full-power outputs.

Her left arm is like a big spender, and without a solid backing, it’s easy to exhaust her stock.

As the flames faded, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that Ito Miho hadn’t gained any advantage this time, with varying degrees of damage all over her body.

Some wounds, whether they were there originally or caused by Yan Guang’s blasts, had fur turned inside out, skin torn open, oozing foul-smelling liquid.

Li Zheng switched tactics and began to engage in melee.

Relying on his flying device and Eye Demon War Boots, he wielded the Sheathed Sword, darting up and down in front of Ito Miho, occasionally stabbing at her eyes and other vital points.

This style of combat was like an annoying fly; Ito Miho raised the stone pillar several times trying to crush Li Zheng, but never succeeded.

Zhan Zhouzhou on the ground was no less agile than Li Zheng, dividing into two groups with him, frequently harassing Ito Miho and depleting her energy.

Phoenix Mountain, with his hands pierced by Li Zheng, retreated to a corner to tend to his wounds.

At this moment, the ground further deteriorated under Ito Miho’s onslaught, and Phoenix Mountain realized just how dangerous his earlier actions had been.

If it weren’t for Li Zheng’s help, he might have been stuck in some pit, unable to be extracted.

As the battle grew more intense, after several probes, Li Zheng finally confirmed Ito Miho’s level of strength.

In the realm of fantasy novels, she would be at the "Diamond Level Peak," just a step away from becoming Extraordinary.

The illumination from Phoenix Mountain’s previous flare gradually dimmed, and visibility continuously decreased, indicating that the battle had been going on for nearly five minutes.

After five minutes of high-intensity flying device usage, Li Zheng had used two Gold Level Active Cores for recharging.

So far, no gains were seen, and Li Zheng’s group had already expended considerable resources.

"These Fudao Island people are truly formidable," Li Zheng remarked, once again distancing himself from Ito Miho, his expression complex.

Fortunately, the Matrix Game suddenly descended, pulling them all into this world.

Otherwise, Li Zheng dared not imagine the destruction that would ensue if Mud Furnace released these experimental subjects upon the world one day.

Then, Mud Furnace’s neighbor, Dragon Country, would be the first to suffer,

"This should be about enough, let’s finish it," Li Zheng glanced at Zhan Zhouzhou, observing her state.

Even an expert as strong as Zhan the Heroine was showing signs of fatigue after the prolonged battle.

As he pondered ways to take down Ito Miho, her motion of raising the stone pillar suddenly halted.

It was as if the movie scene had been paused by someone.

In his line of sight, Old Pu’s prompt appeared timely.

[Is there deceit?

Feigning death?

Neither!

Remember the multiple projection setting?

That’s right!

He was killed by another player team, you arrived too late!]

Killed by others?

Li Zheng was slightly stunned, his mindset a bit shaken.

At the same time, the world channel issued an announcement, announcing the player team that killed Ito Miho.

[Congratulations to player "Tang Qianzang" for leading the team to successfully kill the mutated creature with event number 43, earning +1 kill point.]

The terminal’s announcement made Li Zheng understand the unpredictability of the world.

They had fought hard for five minutes, only for someone else to swoop in and claim the prize, all their efforts in vain.

Li Zheng felt a sense of unreality.

In his team were all top-notch experts, yet how did Tang Qianzang manage to snatch the monster from them?

Could there actually be a team more formidable than theirs?

Other members of the team also noticed the announcement, their expressions turning grim.

Fengshan lamented endlessly, "Damn it! I got hurt for nothing!"

Yan Guang was even more exasperated, "All my missiles wasted, a total loss!"

Zhan Zhouzhou maintained a sullen silence, her expression revealing her equally foul mood.

Li Zheng stared at the now motionless Ito Miho with reluctance.

They were so close!

Just a little more and the first kill would have been theirs!

It felt like in LOL, playing an ADC, one was on the verge of a pentakill, only one last slowed support enemy left, needing just one more auto-attack to claim it.

Then a teammate Karma swooped in with an RQ, taking the kill.

The mindset couldn’t be more shattered.
