1027  YUNYUE VS SANGUIS (I)

QIN RUSHI led the team to prepare for an attack. Since the map of the whole area was provided, they just had to go where team Yunyue was. The only problem was their location was not specifically marked on the map. But that was not a problem since the position of opposing teams was usually at the opposite sides of each other.

Besides that, they had a team member who could fly. So determining the position of the enemy team was much easier.

[I can't see team Yunyue. But there was an area surrounded by some kind of mist just up ahead.]

That was a message from Zhang Ya, who was flying above to scout the area and find team Yunyue's exact location.

"Team Yunyue must be there," Yin Jian commented after reading the message. "The mist must be Morganite's doing."

"Definitely," Qin Rushi agreed. "Go with the plan."

Tang Xun grinned like a kid. "Finally!"

Then he rushed forward, straight in the direction of the so-called mist.

Yin Jian shook his head. "That kid is going to get himself eliminated first."

After saying that, he walked forward to follow.

Qin Rushi sent a message to Zhang Ya. [What do you see up there?]

[Nothing, really. The mist is pretty much covering a large area. Could a Mage really maintain that for long?]

[What is your estimate radius of the mist?]

[About 10 meters.]

Just about the average distance of all of Qin Rushi's AoE debuff skills. Meaning that she had to come close to this mist thing to make sure that everyone hiding in it would be affected.

"Can you get rid of the mist?" she asked Yin Jian while she was running forward, following the two.

"I can. But I have to get closer," Yin Jian answered.

Qin Rushi nodded. "That's enough."

Then she sent a message to Zhang Ya. [Xiao Ya, continue to watch over from above and let us know if there's any weird movement from the enemy team. Attack once you do.]

[Roger.]

The remaining people on the ground followed the excited Tang Xun as the other rushed forward to what seemed like the enemy base. A little while later, Qin Rushi finally saw the 'mist' that Zhang Ya was talking about.

It was not exactly a 'mist' per se. It's more like a freezing fog that naturally occured in cold regions. Qin Rushi started to wonder if this was actually a skill of something that was just there. No matter what, the most important thing now was to clear it.

"Ah Xun, stop. Don't rush until this fog is cleared," she warned the wolf beastkin before the other could rush forward like some bulldozer.

Tang Xun was clearly disappointed when he heard that. But he still stood in place.

"Yin Jian, clear the fog."

After Qin Rushi said that, Yin Jian raised his staff. But before he could do anything, the fog suddenly spread, swallowing them all at once.

Zhang Ya, who saw this scene from above, didn't panic. She quickly sent a message to her team mates while scanning the surroundings.

[Is everyone alright?]

She furrowed her brows slightly when she didn't immediately receive a reply. So, she quickly sent another message.

[What's happening?]

Finally, she got a response from Qin Rushi.

[I'm teleported somewhere. Is it the same for everyone?]

[Same here.]

[Argh... I feel groggy. Where the hell is this?]

Qin Rushi sent another message. [Seeing that there's no one around, I take we're teleported to different areas.]

The last two messages were from Yin Jian and Tang Xun, respectively.

They were teleported? How did that happen? Was it a feature of this tundra? Or was it something that team Yunyue did? There's a high chance it could be the former. But if it was, shouldn't the system tell them about this at the start? If it was the latter, how did they manage to do it?

Area-wide teleportation was not a common skill. Was it an item that did this? But since they were teleported in different areas and not in the same spot, it's definitely not just a simple item. Maybe it's even a legendary rank item or something.

A message from their captain appeared at this moment.

[You've been had guys. They use the fog as a diversion tactic to separate you. They're probably planning to make this a 1 vs 1 fight, instead of a group fight. A good tactic, considering that we could utilize our skills more if we are together. I have to hand it to them, preparing this on such short notice.]

Well, that certainly explained what had just happened. But just like what the captain said, preparing this on such short notice was incredible on their part. Especially since the time from when the battle started until now hadn't even passed five minutes.

Their captain sent another message as a follow up.

[They're probably thinking that this would be better than keeping the relic in one place and just defending it. I'll probably do the same if I'm in their position. Don't panic. Even if this turned to a 1 vs 1 fight, we're not weak. So, just fight whoever will come to attack you. And just leave the relic to me.]

That was the end of the message. In short, their captain was telling them to take care of the members of Yunyue who would attack them. To not let those members aid whomever was taking the relic.

Zhang Ya remembered their meeting earlier. Their captain suspected that team Yunyue would likely choose the second option to win this match - taking the relic to the heart of the Tundra. So, he decided to be responsible for the relic. That's why he wasn't with them when they rushed towards the enemy team's base.

He was on his way to wherever this supposed to be 'heart of the Tundra' was.

She had a lot of questions. Before she could send a message to ask them, she felt something coming

in her direction. The lazy expression she usually had was gone. Her gaze turned sharp. She raised her bow and knocked an arrow. Activating one of her skills, she released the arrow.
