The entire tower defense battlefield was engulfed in flames. The huge number of alien troops that arrived one after another was shocking, making the scene even more shocking.
However, among the players watching the game from outside, there were still some with frowns on their faces. This included the fans that the Dawn team had unknowingly gained.
Seeing the contribution value of other teams soaring and seeing that the Dawn team hadn’t taken any action, the players who supported Dawn were anxious. It wasn’t until they heard Chi Ting contact He Yuanqing that they sighed with relief. They were waiting with bated breath for the team they supported to finally show their strength. Then they saw Chi Ting call all the players together and briefly explain a few words. After that, everyone responded before turning around and completely dispersing.
Yes.
Under the expectant gazes of the outside world, the Dawn team dispersed so neatly and cleanly.
The players watching in front of the team’s live stream room: “???!”
The other teams were trying their best to compete for contribution points. What was the Dawn team doing?
Unity was strength. Work together and grab it!!
However, the Dawn people obviously couldn’t hear the cries of grief from the outside world, and each of them went their own way. Except for Song Xuefeng, who was helplessly forced to work, the others disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
After all, the live stream rooms were currently organized by teams. The initial system apparently hadn’t experienced the existence of a team as ‘disunited’ as the Dawn team. The entire screen was empty and even froze for more than ten seconds. It was only after a series of programs were run that the originally single main interface was forcibly cut into six windows.
Now, looking at this live stream screen that was out of tune with the surrounding ones, all the audience members were completely speechless.
After all, even the live stream system had been forced into this state. What else could they complain about?
At the same time as the Dawn team took action, the other teams also received notifications from He Yuanqing one after another.
Chi Ting obviously had a purpose in letting He Yuanqing be the intermediary notifier. As a top player with a great reputation in the unlimited world, He Yuanqing’s words obviously had a certain deterrent effect.
The Seven Seas and Shadow Knights teams, who were slightly weaker in strength, were gathering together to fight the enemy. They exchanged looks with each other when hearing the notice.
The relationship between the two teams was originally very good. You Guye of the Shadow Knights team still remembered what Qiu Ji had mentioned to him a long time ago, but there had never been a suitable opportunity. At this time, he finally remembered to ask. “Old Ji, I wanted to ask before. I remember that you had taken a fancy to a new summoning player from the 13th World a long time ago, but you were never able to successfully recruit him to the team. It just so happens that the captain of the Dawn team is also from the 13th World… Don’t blame me for thinking too much. Can you tell me the truth? Is there any connection between them?”
Qiu Ji said, “…Do you still remember it now?”
You Guye sneered. “If you were confronted by someone and mocked for your personal skill, hearing it is ‘just so-so’, how would you like it?”
Qiu Ji: “……”
He cleared his throat and confessed. “Yes, it is Captain Chi. But as you can see, he has formed his own team now. There is no chance to dig him out.”
You Guye glanced at him. “Are Captain Chi’s skills really that powerful?”
Qiu Ji caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance. He raised his chin and said, “Here, the person is here. Just ask him, and you will know.”
The alien army was coming with great force, but the two men didn’t stop their operations even while talking.
You Guye was about to say something else, but he was distracted and accidentally saw a small alien team slip through their defense line. He was startled. “Not good!”
His reaction was already very fast, but the number of alien species he had to take into account was too many. He was only able to intercept a portion of them in time.
Just as he was about to grit his teeth, he saw something coming into view from a distance.
You Guye concentrated again and saw that white beads fell from the sky. They suddenly stretched out and wrapped around the strangely shaped alien heads.
The repeated cracking sounds as the skulls shattered became the background sound in the strong wind. Occasionally, one or two figures escaped the disaster and were about to flee in panic, but they were hit head-on by a white and slender hand.
With perfect precision, he locked their necks.
There was another crack, which sounded unusually crisp as the head was broken.
Chi Ting didn’t want to run into these few remaining alien species when he arrived, so he dealt with them lightly and threw them aside. He made sure that there was no blood on his clothes. Then he dusted off his hands and strode in the direction of the two teams.
Such a figure appeared slender and tall amidst the wind and sand. You Guye’s eyes moved slightly with deep emotion. He couldn’t help pulling Qiu Ji over to confirm it. “Old Ji, are you sure this is the summoning system?”
Qiu Ji had seen Chi Ting’s methods, but he didn’t know how to answer this question. “Ahem.”
After all, You Guye was recognized as a top player of the summoning system. He knew very well that the price of having a summoning type personal skill was a fragile body. Indeed… which summoner could hold a small monster in one hand like this?
Seeing that Chi Ting had already arrived, he chose to ignore You Guye’s overly difficult to explain question. He forcibly repelled a wave of monsters and quickly walked over. “Captain Chi, you’re here. Captain He just told me the general situation. So what you call the aftermath probably means…”
Chi Ting had already observed the situation here on the way, so he replied casually, “It’s okay. You guys do your own things. Don’t worry about me.”
“Don’t worry means…”
Qiu Ji just wanted to ask again when he saw Chi Ting pull the beads he had just taken back, and they scattered all over the place. The familiar scene made him realize what this person was doing. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately called You Guye, who wasn’t far away. “Look here.”
“What to look at?” You Guye looked over in a distracted manner. Then the last words on his lips were pressed down. His tone raised the moment he saw the scene. “What the hell?!”
In an instant, the phantoms that rose from the beads gathered into a shocking army. Chi Ting put his hands in his trouser pockets, and the hair that fell on his shoulders fluttered in the wind. Perhaps it was because the eyes cast in his direction were too clear, but he obviously misunderstood. He smiled in the direction of the crowd and said, “Everyone, don’t worry and continue. I’m just here to clean up the mess, not to steal points.”
So what did taking care of the aftermath mean?
The question that Qiu Ji hadn’t figured out until now finally got an answer with Chi Ting’s next actions.
The mighty army of phantoms seemed like a third-party force that had come in from the side. They swept away the messy dust into a chaotic sand curtain.
Countless superpowers brought strong afterimages. In the blink of an eye, dense gullies appeared on the flat ground. The alien corpses, which were originally piled up on the ground, were thrown into them in an orderly manner, filling them up layer upon layer. Then they were buried by the newly piled sand and dust.
Unknowingly, the bloody smell floating in the air seemed to have faded a lot and was replaced by a number of raised mounds of earth that suddenly appeared in their field of view. Buried underneath were the corpses of alien species with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Before seeing it with their own eyes, no one had ever thought that the so-called dealing with the aftermath would actually be equivalent to burying the corpses.
Just as Chi Ting said, he was indeed performing his operations with precision and accuracy. Even though the phantom army occasionally passed through the flames of war while collecting corpses, he was able to avoid them perfectly and sensibly.
He was slow, methodical, and orderly.
Seeing such a scene, even a master like Qiu Ji, who had seen a lot in various instances, couldn’t help but twitch his lips at the overly strong sense of weirdness.
So, what type of past did the captain of the Dawn team have? Why was he able to bury corpses so skillfully??
The same scene occurred almost synchronously in every corner of the battlefield.
The black scythe in Hua Qianmei’s hand was like the symbol of the messenger of hell. The ground collapsed completely where it cut, and the raised dust covered the corpses heavily.
The firepower of Ji Xingque’s explosion directly burned everything to charcoal, raising layers of ashes in the flying sand.
As for the other two, Lu Nanling’s precise control and Song Xuefeng’s protective assistance meant that ‘dealing with the aftermath’ on the battlefield was carried out in a very orderly manner.
He Yuanqing looked away when he saw this scene. Then he looked at the person who came to ‘help’ him. For a moment, his face didn’t show much emotion. “Don’t you think that your so-called ‘dealing with the aftermath’ is somewhat different from your teammates?”
Not far from him, the black shadow cage that criss crossed at the top closed in an instant, completely cutting the ground apart. The alien army covered it in was also slaughtered completely.
In the scene of corpses wriggling all over the ground, Lou Yueren seemed to have just heard He Yuanqing’s words. The moment he looked back, there was clear madness in his eyes due to the pleasure brought about by killing.
He raised his voice slightly, unable to conceal the faint trembling caused by excessive excitement. “Oh? I’m really sorry… After all, compared to them, this is my first time working. I can only say that this is probably the difference between a skilled worker and a rookie.”
He slowly moved his fingertips. With this action, the black shadows that had cut through the ground slowly rose up again.
On top of it, there was still the sticky blood left by those alien species.
Lou Yueren’s smile grew more excited. “Trust me, I’ll get used to it after a few more times. After all, practice makes perfect.”
He looked at his old friend and licked the corners of his lips with a leisurely smile. “You don’t mind, do you?”
“……”
The familiar shameless style made He Yuanqing look at his team’s obviously reduced contribution value. He was speechless and could only sneer, “Is it useful if I mind?”
Lou Yueren blinked slowly. “It seems to be useless.”
He Yuanqing, who was usually calm and steady, sneered and almost swore at such shameless behavior.
As expected, he should’ve asked Dawn to send someone else to help.
Wherever this guy was, assistance without any rewards was impossible. The contribution points that were divided up were manually deducted rewards.
It had been so long since he saw this person, and he hadn’t changed at all.
As always, every penny must be counted.
