Chapter 1132: YUNYUE VS SIREN (IV)

Their captain thought the same, as she sent in their team channel after that announcement was made;

Nereid: [Don't be distracted. Stick with the plan. Yu-er, where are the members of team Yunyue right now?]

Reading that, Yin Meiyu quickly checked the locations of the members of team Yunyue. Just like what she thought, most of the members of team Yunyue were going downriver. It didn't really come off as a surprise since it's not like they could have another destination. She just wondered how they were travelling without the raft.

From what had happened, it was obvious that they used the raft as a bait to at least eliminate one member of team Siren. They left Morganite there to make it seem like all the members were still there. After all, Morganite was seemingly doing her best to advance the raft forward. There's no reason for her and Tang Xi to think otherwise.

Team Yunyue probably already expected to be ambushed, that's why they did this. The constant monster attack might have led them to that conclusion.

Although this was not the result team Siren had hoped for, and Tang Xi was even eliminated in the process, at least they managed to restrict the other team's movements. Since according to the match rule, every action should only be done on the river, there's no way team Yunyue could move freely without the raft.

They were probably moving using the protruding rocks on the river's surface. Or they might do it like them and used some item that could let them breathe underwater.

Just as Yin Meiyu was about to report in their team channel where each member of team Yunyue was, she noticed that Morganite was not in the area where she was supposed to be.

She wasn't constantly checking their locations. But even then, the last time she checked, Morganite was still in the area where she separated with Tang Xi. And now, the other was closing in on her. From behind!

When Yin Meiyu thought that an attack from above would happen in the next second, the undercurrent of the river proved her wrong. A sudden surge in the water behind her alerted her to the real threat. A sharp, spiraling jet of water materialized, slicing through the currents with deadly precision.

Yin Meiyu twisted her body swiftly, her agile form cutting through the water as she narrowly avoided the initial strike. She felt the rush of displaced water as the spell missed her by a hair's breadth. The river seemed to pulse with the residual energy of the attack, rippling in concentric circles around her.

Instinctively, she reached for her bow, her fingers finding the familiar grip even underwater. She pivoted to face the direction of the attack and saw a small pink-haired girl with buttefly wings surrounded by a transparent bubble.

It was Morganite!

Yin Meiyu swiftly notched an arrow. She released the arrow, watching it cut through the water towards Morganite. In response, Morganite waved her hand, and the bubble surrounding her shimmered, deflecting the projectile. The arrow veered off course, embedding itself harmlessly into the riverbed.

Morganite then pointed her staff, and a stream of glowing bubbles shot forth, each one pulsing with energy. Yin Meiyu propelled herself sideways, dodging the incoming bubbles, which exploded into bursts of energy as they missed their mark.

Without hesitation, Yin Meiyu reached for another arrow, this time aiming for the bubble itself. She released the shot, the arrow speeding through the water. It struck the bubble and created a small fissure.

Morganite's eyes narrowed as she prepared another skill, causing the bubble to thicken and repair itself. Seizing the opportunity, Yin Meiyu swam swiftly to close the distance, her movements fluid and precise. She swung her bow in an arc, aiming to disrupt Morganite's spell-casting. Morganite countered by summoning a whirlpool, its force pulling Yin Meiyu off balance.

Using the momentum, Yin Meiyu flipped backward, drawing another arrow and preparing for the next strike.

The whirlpool's pull intensified, creating a powerful current that threatened to drag her deeper into the river. Realizing the danger of being caught in the whirlpool's grip, Yin Meiyu kicked hard against the riverbed and propelled herself upward. She broke through the river's surface, her body arcing gracefully into the air.

The moment she did, she felt a sting on her left chest. She twisted in midair and looked at the bullet wound on her chest, realizing she had been shot from behind.

Knowing that it's only a matter of time before she was eliminated, she unleashed her ultimate skill without hesitation. Three arrows, each glowing with a mystical light, materialized on her bowstring. She released them in quick succession. The arrows split apart, each honing in on a marked target.

The first arrow pierced through the water, trailing a shimmering wake as it homed in on Morganite. The second and third arrows sought out the other two members of team Yunyue, weaving through the chaos with a mind of their own.

Damn. She should have done this sooner. But it was a skill with a long cooldown. So she could only use it once in this match. Shen was planning to use it later on, but she didn't expect that she would be forced to use it now.

Yin Meiyu gazed down the river, following the trajectory of one of her arrows. What she used was a one-shot kill that basically drained all of her HP and MP. In short, it was a 'suicide skill'. That's why she was planning to use it during the later period of the match.

But since she would be eliminated now anyway, might as well use it. That way, she wouldn't go down alone. She would be able to take three enemies with her.

As she started to turn into light particles, Yin Meiyu didn't forget to send the locations of the other members of team Yunyue on their team channel.

Once again, another notification appeared in front of the remaining members of team Siren.

[Freya has been eliminated!]
