Chapter 759: Facing the Terrifying Hunting Chosen, Small Players Exclaimed
Chapter 757 756.Facing the dreaded Hunting Chosen, the little player exclaims that the “Mobile Treasure Trove” is unbeatable!
“Fuck! And they did it?”
The chaos occurring in the Jackals’ camp was quickly noticed by the scouts, and at a fire platform on the outskirts of the Phantom Valley, Master Qin, who had gotten the news, arrived with five pairs of wheels and a few young staff officers.
They observed the column of smoke rising in the distance with the help of the scouts’ psychic spells and the telescopes they had brought with them, and the Five Pairs of Wheels said with some consternation:
“This we calculated, they couldn’t have done it! How many sacrifices would it take to do something like this? I’m afraid all these munchkins are going to fold in it, just for three granary stores”
“But they just did it, the facts speak for themselves.”
Old Qin grinned, put down his telescope, and turned his head to Five Pairs of Wheels:
“Now you know why the players are calling you cowards on the forums, right? Veteran talked to me about this before, he didn’t say it explicitly, but now the facts have proven the blunders you guys made when making your plans.
Don’t let the old ways of thinking tie you down, players lives are expendable, which means a lot of tactics that didn’t work before can now be options.
My confidence in holding the Barren Hill warzone for a full 30 days isn’t just because of the set of pits that were designed.
It’s the people!
Five against the wheel, the deciding factor in whether or not you can hold, whether or not you can win is always people!
The deciding factor in war is always people, too.
If the Jackals hadn’t lifted the table first and destroyed the Black Flame Pass, with the help of a position like that, I would have had the confidence to exhaust myself with the Jackals until the end of time.
Your performance during this time was perfect, but you can actually do better.
Let’s factor that in as well.
Be a little more bold at the tactical level!
Feel free to leave the impossible tasks to our player brothers, they’re not good soldiers, but when necessary, each of them can be martyrs, and they’re really willing to do so that’s scary, right?”
“They would be a nightmare for all their enemies.”
Five to Wheel sighed:
“Now that I know how you guys made a name for yourselves as ‘good fighters’ in the Black Flame Pass, well, I apologize for my mistake and we’ll revisit our current tactical arrangements.”
“If that’s the case, Chief, then we won’t actually have to worry about the pit being discovered.”
“Domestic 007” behind Old Qin suddenly spoke up:
“If all of our players are this death-defying, we can completely push the intensity of pitched battles to a point that would normally be unimaginable, and actively detonating pits when necessary can also be a means of breaking the enemy.
Anyway, the Dwarf Highland Priests dig pits fast enough that blowing one up is not unacceptable as long as it serves as a sufficient battle result.
We can even try baiting the enemy.
Taking the initiative to introduce those difficult enemies into the pits, all it takes is a single directed blast at a specific location…”
“Right! That’s it, use your minds to try more unlikely methods of warfare.”
Although Old Qin did not agree with the idea, he still encouraged:
“Think of this as an exercise, as a real battle! I’m not going to hide anything from you guys, this is exactly an idea that I’m trying to convey to the higher-ups through the growth of you students.
With the unstable situation outside, and not so many opportunities for actual combat, this place is perfect as a ‘martial arts field’, at least for the reserve commanders, this place can teach you things that aren’t in the textbooks.
Battles, campaigns and wars are understood and practiced.
Perhaps there is no way to apply the tactical warfare here to our side, but for commanders, control and sensitivity to the situation is a basic ability that must be practiced.
Textbooks will always raise your lower limit, but to raise the upper limit you need to have a strong enough practical battle in front of you.
If you can win here, then in the future, when that fateful day comes, those you must protect can also trust that you have the ability and will to win over there!”
“Resilience, flexible scheduling, crisis response and big-picture thinking.”
Five Pairs of Wheels summarized:
“These are the abilities that a qualified commander must have, and the chief is right, you can practice these things here, so this is your graduation project! Assist the Transylvanians and win this war!”
National 007 helplessly exchanged glances with his classmates, and finally he gave his opinion and said:
“The scale of this war is too big, chief, just the few of us aren’t enough, a localized war isn’t even enough.”
“What’s the hurry?”
Old Qin stroked his newly grown beard and bristled:
“Prove your worth, there will always be more people placed in the future, ha, this is the ‘Transylvanian War Academy’.”
He said so, and as a result, a few minutes later there were Jackal bipedal flying dragon cavalry flying close, the old man sighed and cursed:
“These damn psychics, they found me, I suspect the Jackals have listed a bounty for my death, it seems that the battle at the Blood Flag Heights did leave them with a psychological shadow, what are you waiting for?
Ready to let an old man like me protect you?
Draw your swords!
You guys are players too don’t forget that.”

The raid conducted by the Undying Pride Guild was a big success, although more than a hundred players went and ended up coming back with less than ten, they did accomplish their difficult goal.
Three granaries were burned and one armory was blown up into the sky, these losses weren’t considered hurtful to the Jackals, but to be able to be touched by the Transylvanians into the main camp and still carry out a raid like this was a terrible failure in itself.
The inspector in charge of the camp’s inspection was beheaded by Hügson himself.
It wasn’t that the God’s Chosen Inspector was lending a hand, it was mainly because the guy’s performance was so clumsy.
After Xu Gerson had hacked to death two dozen players with his own hands and endured at least four Divine Power self-destructs, this fat-headed fellow only arrived with his guards. Now forget about the difference between Splintered Claw and Blood Scar, someone had to take responsibility for this humiliating defeat!
But the jackals weren’t passive either.
After realizing that the Transylvanians were using the pits to advance the war, half of the Dogheads under Huegson’s command were sent into the pits to fight the Transylvanians in this labyrinthine underground area.
Leading them were, quite literally, the Hunting Chosen that Hüggesen had asked for from Mossy Valley.
These guys had already lost their sense of self and dedicated everything to the Lord of the Hunt, and this sacrifice was exchanged for the enhancement of divine power as well as extreme comprehension of the Way of the Hunt.
Every single one of them was the most elite hunter and assassin, with a kind of fanaticism from the depths of their souls for pursuing their targets, and these Hunting Chosen were super strong, and there was only one word for what would happen to a non-top-tier player who encountered them.
Send!
Early in the morning of the third day of the barren mountain blockade, there was an old brother in the group called “Battle, Cool!” in the Giant Shark. There was an old man in the group called “Battle, Cool!” who jumped out and complained:
Tata Kai: [Crap, is the intensity of this Chosen Hunting serious? We are a team of ten people by the other side of a person plus the dog head man blocked in the pit as a pig to kill ah! It’s almost like a ghost entering a village! That guy is hard enough to deal with just with his divine power-enhanced attribute boosts, and what’s even worse is that they have a permanent state of ‘Ranged Damage Invalid’, so they can only be fought with melee combat.
The problem was that the melee level of these dogs was frighteningly high.
My old brother’s Blood Wyvern Sword Art is at the Proficient level, and he went up there and gave them seconds in three moves… in his words, this is not a BOSS we can deal with at all].
Reed Name Female Sword Saint: [What what what? What kind of cow horse is a proficient Blood Vulture Sword Art? You can’t even deal with a Black Iron Elite player at this level, let alone an Elite BOSS… And isn’t Blood Vulture Swordsmanship a basic skill of the Blood Vulture Clan?
Older brother, you have come to the barren mountain, at least learn an advanced sword art!
If not, you’ll have to learn the Meijieva Clan Sword Art.
The Shadow Pace that comes with it is the standard for melee fighters, how can you dodge BOSS attacks without it?
How are you going to fight?
You can change blood over elite monsters!
[Blanch, nowadays newcomers don’t even care about skill sets anymore? A self-touching Tata Kai: [First of all, I want to emphasize that I didn’t provoke you, little reed name, don’t attack me like that, I’ll be sad.
Secondly, I have been over here since I entered the game to do battle which has time to return to Scarlet Fort to learn skills ah?
Lastly, as far as the strength of that Hunting Chosen is concerned, I’ll give you this, you top players don’t always get it when you meet them … ]
Giant Shark Bo: [@All members, brother Meng, come and form a group to kill the newly refreshed mini BOSS ‘Hunting Chosen’! I just killed one in single combat, and guess what was dropped? A Thunder Lizard Leather Armor that is immune to 30% of long range damage and has a ‘Paralysis Counter’ phrase!
Crap, this attribute is unbeatable, and this thing is also called the ‘Hunting Hands’ set, I guess I can immunize most of the long-distance damage if I collect all of them.
Melee Combatant’s BIS suit for this version, must be swiped!
Reed Name Female Sword Saint: [@One Self-Touch Tata Kai, what did you just say about old players not being able to do anything? Hahahahaha, stop talking tough, you’re just a rookie!]]
One Self Touch Tata Kai: [Blanch, you monsters! @Cyberbrow Giant Sharkbear, send me a copy of your melee skill set, I’ll go to Scarlet Fortress to learn the skills after I’m resurrected.]]
Seemingly Tiger Can Edgewood: [I advise you not to learn it!
Giant Shark’s extreme skill sets are not for the average person, go to the forum’s ‘Fighters’ section and look for the melee handbook organized by ‘Wrist Ho’ or ‘Smokey Beef Bowl’, there are several sets of suggested skill sets in there. There are several sets of suggested combos, so pick one in your style and you’ll be good to go until Silver.
Don’t make fun of them, Vikrama.
Although I’m waiting to be resurrected now, I also saw the whole process of ordinary players fighting against the Hunting Chosen at the Transylvania Tavern, and veterans like you, whose main skills are focused on long-range, can’t possibly be a match for that kind of highly specialized Elite mini-boss, but that kind of strength is more than enough to be the final boss of a five-player book.
So, don’t run around the pit alone next!
I suspect that those guys must have skills similar to ‘concealment’ or ‘gust of wind step’, your kind of pure long-distance really caught is a death.
The Jackals are obviously using these elite units to cash in with us, slowing down our rapid penetration movements, and coupled with the large number of Dogheads pouring into the pits, the next action is destined to be very dangerous.
I suggest that players still active in the pit move in groups of at least ten at a time, and communicate the location of the attack in a timely manner.
Giant Shark!
You and your Vam fraternity request a transfer back to the Desolate Mountain Pit area from Command, wherever you are attacked you will go to support, you Vam believers in your berserked state Tienk these hunting votaries, but be careful.
Not every Vam devotee has a divine weapon in their hands like you and can single-handedly fight through a BOSS.]
Wrist Howl: [The Shadow Trail Faction has also received a mission from Command, we will also be patrolling back and forth in the pits, General Maxim has dispatched some Winter Wolf Martial Monks to be scattered in the various areas, so report points if you come across an attack!
Don’t ever do anything rash.]
Fireworks Beef Bowl: [I just tried my hand with a lone Hunting Chosen, my advice is, don’t try to go up for a knife fight if you have less than a Master’s melee skill proficiency in the advanced class, these guys’ attacks come with ‘Divine Critical Strike’, every hit is real damage and hard to block by skill.
Once you get a defense break you’ll be hit with a ‘Mark of Prey’ and your full attributes will decrease over time, which means you’re basically screwed if you get hit once.
Also, @Compassionate Giant Sharkbear, did you have a ‘Mark of Vengeance’ status on you after you killed that mini-boss?”]
Compassionate Eyebrows Giant Sharkbear: [Yes, yes, yes, this status says that my fighting style is being spied on by the Lord of the Hunt… what the hell does that mean?]
Smoky Beef Bowl: [My guess would be that these Hunting Chosen share a ‘combat database’, and you killing one means that the other Hunting Chosen know one more thing about you.
This status is troublesome!
Stacking it higher means that it will be much more threatening when facing Hunting Chosen in the future, whether they will grow in combat or not I don’t know, but it’s best if we don’t help them grow, we have to think of a way to do it, it’s best if we can kill them in seconds…]]
What Color is Loyalty: [Killing an elite boss in seconds, how dare you guys think of that! But I have an idea, I’ll send a batch of freshly baked Iron Fist Barrels to the frontline in the next few days, you guys try to use these against them…]]
Merciful Giant Sharkbear: [But they’re immune to long range attacks! Will Iron Fist work?]
Reed Name Female Sword Saint: [Don’t be stupid Giant Shark, the Iron Fist just looks like a long range weapon! It does damage in the form of a fragmentation blast, and they’re not immune to that as long as they’re still carbon-based creatures.
I don’t think they’re immune to the gold-burning bullets of an anti-tank gun, either. I asked Fimis about it, and the majestically short young lady told me that the ‘long-range immunity’ bestowed on believers by the Lord of the Hunt isn’t even at the Rule level yet.
This means that if the caliber is big enough, it can hurt them just as well.
Of course, normal bullets are out of the question, and full-power bullets probably won’t work either, only sniper bullets with something as marvelous as Burning Gold will be strong enough].
One Punch to the Galaxy: [Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, little doujin says Missy is short. You two might as well pull Count Sheridan to form a ‘Dou Ding’ group and go out on the road].
Reed Name Female Sword Saint: [A shot to the head, asshole! Did our majestic full height eat your family’s rice? So aggressive!
Let’s go one-on-one, asshole!
Precipice Ox is not afraid of difficulties: [Use a chain saw sword! I just finished off one with Ambo, those guys’ flesh and blood aren’t any tougher than the other Silver Jackals, so as long as you cut in the right place and trigger the limb breaking effect, they’ll be just as game over.
This game is all about a pragmatic ability restraint not to mention you guys, Ambos kind of liked the leather armor I just gave them, but for now we’re going to keep scouting.
I’ll go first, good brothers have time to brush copies together ah.
I heard from Fat that the ‘Black Flame Pass Attack and Defense’ group book will be coming out soon, and it’s related to the prestige of the Blood Alliance Clan, so I’ll be sure to brush the copies +1].
Caught shrimp household: [Rolling roll! Say good dormitory good brother for life, you bastard have a wife do not want brothers, even the mission are not with us, cursed your Ann Booth by the jackals to capture ah!
Hedong Lion Roar: [Coordinates XX.XX.XX, innermost pit 8, here are two hunting voters are leading dozens of dogheads in the pit to kill the munchkins, that guy is old and miserable.
Anyway, rookies retreat, the powerful come quickly!
The equipment drop shakes the dice than the size!
We’re on our way there, we’re late brothers].
Shrimp Catchers: [Lion Brother form a team, the three of us are not far from each other, we will go there right away, by the way, there is a task of destroying the Seatwolf Beast Pens issued by the commanding officer over there, I will share it with you guys, and do it together along the way.
Say, @ReednameSwordswoman, this is a group for big men, isn’t it wrong for you to hang around here all day as a girl?
Don’t you female players have your own group?”]
Vikrama Sword Saint: [Yes, there is, but they discuss cosmetics, fitness, and their boyfriends all day long, so I can’t get involved, so it’s more fun to be on your side.
Oh, right!
@StarSoulEagle, Shy Flower has been saying lately that you don’t care about her anymore, good for you brat! You don’t care when you’re flirting, do you? Sister Pomegranate even said she’d put you in a sack.]
Star Soul Eagle: [? When did I flirt with her? In all honesty, you can’t be bullshitting me, she’s a rich girl and I’m just an otaku, not even close. But does she really think I don’t care about her? Can you show me the screenshot of the chat?
Reed Name Female Sword Saint: [Hmph, is this lord so easy to buy? However, I want to eat some chicken today.
Star Soul Eagle: [Touche, I’ll find the ingredients for you on the battlefield, but it’s not easy to find chickens in this military chaos, can I change the ingredients?
How about a red-billed ferocious gull?
That thing may look vicious, but the flavor is unexpectedly not bad.
