My Players Are So Fierce

2274: Chapter 759: The Hunt Has Awakened!

2274 -759: The Hunt Has Awakened!

Old Qu logged off, made a phone call, took a quick moment to tidy up his neglected face for two days, then lay on the bed chewing an energy bar and put on his helmet.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes at his hidden spot on the hillside.

This place was already away from the ruins of the Black Flame Maw Position area.

To be precise, the location of this hillside had already entered an area called the “Hungry Plains.” From here, heading westward would lead to the Brass Fortress.

Of course, trekking through the current Hungry Plains was a terrifying affair, because the Jackal-people were fighting at the Brass Fortress while attacking Transylvania.

Given this situation, saying that the Dark Mountain Range is in chaos would not be an exaggeration.

But it is precisely because this mountainous area was away from the Black Flame Mountain Pass, that the twelve patrol teams here didn’t discover in time the “major events” Bloodscar Jackal-people were up to nearby.

“Damn it!”

Old Qu glanced at the gloomy sky behind him where the “Star-world Tear” had yet to heal, and cursed quietly:

“Ever since the Circle Tower used this thing, it seems like everyone overnight learned to use it.

Even the damn Jackal-people started learning to throw Spiritual Energy Nuclear Bombs like us.

Damn it, can’t these guys learn something good?”

He cursed, but quickly got up and took a few steps forward to crouch beside a rock, and asked Sergeant Mia, who was holding a telescope observing the valley below:

“How’s the situation?”

“Spiritual energy is still gathering, Captain Qu.”

Mia immediately replied:

“Norse and Papillon have descended along the ridge to prepare for close-up reconnaissance, but they are unlikely to get close to the valley below, as there are Blood Scar Clan’s wolf cavalry patrolling all around, and those Jackal Priests hosting the ritual in the valley below are also heavily guarded.

I saw Manson!

I won’t be mistaken.

The portrait of this old jackal-man is in the People’s Army’s wanted list.

I am sure it is him hosting this ritual here.”

“That’s a Gold Stage boss, right?”

Old Qu also picked up the telescope and scanned the valley below, he said:

“This is completely out of our league to handle.”

“But we can’t just let them continue the ritual like this!”

Mia said excitedly:

“Even if it means death, we must stop them…”

“The problem is, our death won’t change this situation.

Death…

is always the last resort.”

Old Qu shot a surprised look at this girl.

Their days together had made him realize she had a very silent nature, yet she was exceptionally talented, and frighteningly calm in long-distance assassinations; it was rare to see her so agitated.

However, Brother Qu is an old veteran player, his eyes shifted and he understood immediately, he whispered:

“Did you have family lost in the Cardman City disaster?”

This question silenced Sergeant Mia, and a few seconds later, she nodded and said:

“Everyone but me…

but this is not the reason I am making this suggestion now, Captain!

I’m not speaking out of personal hatred.

The place where the Jackal-people are conducting the ritual and Shadow Valley are less than 15 kilometers apart in a straight line!

They are definitely aiming for our command headquarters and Sir Murphy.

Once they complete this ritual, everything we’ve done for victory until now will be blown away.

I’m not afraid to die!

When I joined the People’s Army, I knew death was the fate of warriors.

Our predecessors rebuilt our homeland in the past half year through fearless deaths, and you are among those brave pioneers.

But there are still so many people in Transylvania, and all of you along with us…

everyone is giving their all for this war; we can’t let the brutal Jackal-people just walk into the new home we’ve struggled to establish.

The tragedy of Cardman City…

once is enough!”

“Well said!”

Old Qu grinned widely.

He gave a thumbs up to this young girl at least eight years younger than him.

At her age, he didn’t have such enlightening consciousness.

In the eyes of newbies, they might say the developers surely gave this NPC quite an impressive backstory, yet Brother Qu knew the truth.

Though never fully confirmed, he knew this girl was alive, just an ordinary person living in another world like himself.

“Since you’ve made up your mind to this extent, if we Undying Spirits retreat here, wouldn’t we be laughed at by you all?

Don’t worry, we’ll figure something out.”

Brother Qu made a promise, then continued to observe the valley below.

The scene in front was obviously a large, random event.

In the flat area of the valley below, the Jackal-people had created a temporary ritual site.

They didn’t use structured spirit energy crystals but instead used a large number of priests as the ritual’s core.

Through his binoculars, Brother Qu saw that at least two hundred Jackal Priests participated.

The Blood Scar Priest Manson was at the center of the ritual, wielding a bone staff sparkling like starlight even in daylight as the regulator and releaser of the ritual.

The accumulation of spirit energy concentration here had reached a level that even he, not being a Psychic, could detect.

Based on the players’ experience in releasing the Star-world Tear, the Jackal-people’s ritual had entered its latter stages, and attempting to disrupt the ritual by destroying just one or two nodes would be futile.
