Chapter 867: Chapter 868 Summoning_1

Looking at the big hole at the end of the bridge emitting white smoke, Song Jian squinted his eyes and carefully observed. There must be more than one landmine there, and the sniper hiding in the villa on the opposite side of the bridge didn’t want anyone to pass through here;

At this moment, player strength had greatly increased, so if they were ordinary landmines, they simply wouldn’t have been able to instantly kill the sneaking player. These must be high-explosive landmines with tremendous power, or even more fearsome tactical blasting landmines.

With the bridgehead blocked, Song Jian looked down at the river beneath the bridge.

The river was quite wide, with concrete riverbanks on both sides. The surface of the river was at least a dozen meters below the riverbanks, so those who wanted to cross to the other side either had to go over the bridge or swim under it, followed by climbing up the sloped foundation at the end of the bridge.

“If there was a flying mount, one could also fly straight over this bridge!” Song Jian thought to himself. Just then, a shrill cry came from afar in the sky, where a giant vulture was rapidly carrying a player towards the city’s center;

Meanwhile, a hovercraft on the river was searching along the bank for a place to land, and further away, several players were using ropes to climb the dozen meter-high riverbanks. If left un-sniped, they would quickly be able to cross the river and enter the opposite side.

...

“Thinking one can become the ultimate winner just by holding a bridge is obviously impossible. I wonder if he will give up this place and move into the city center first to seize some advantageous terrain?” Song Jian pondered.

Bang~

Another gunshot sounded, and one more player in the river was eliminated. Clearly, the sniper on the other side had no intention of giving up the advantageous terrain.

“After all, eliminating each person earns a point. Although I don’t know what the points can be exchanged for yet, clearly they must be part of the competitors’ rewards!” Song Jian thought to himself.

The sniper’s weapon on the other side was evidently also a high-quality sniper rifle, at least of epic quality, and possibly even legendary. Otherwise, it could not possibly cause such significant damage to the players.

Song Jian estimated that, even if he encountered it, he wouldn’t last more than three shots unless he used his “Soul Wander” ability.

Just then, the sounds of battle suddenly erupted from the villa at the end of the bridge. Song Jian’s eyes lit up— it looked like someone had stealthily made their way into the villa and launched an attack on the sniper;

Constantly sniping from the bridgehead had actually already revealed his position. As long as one could cross the bridge, it was very easy to ambush him, and those who used sniper rifles were generally long-range professionals. Once they were approached closely, all their weaknesses would be laid bare;

Not only did Song Jian sense the battle ahead, but many players behind him who had rushed onto the bridge only to be stopped by a sniper rifle, also noticed the fight in front. They thought their opportunity had come;

At this moment, a player clad in a black robe exuding the aura of the Abyss stepped forward, waving the magic staff in his hand and chanting an Abyssal Spell;

Within a short time, space was torn apart, and a demon with legs growing from its head and its body engulfed in red flames crawled out from the Spatial Rift;

It roughly yanked at the edges of the Spatial Rift, making it slightly larger. Its actions caused the player who was casting an Abyssal Spell to go pale, as a trickle of fresh blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He glared fiercely at the demon, yet his gaze held no real threat. He could only struggle to maintain the existence of the Spatial Rift;

Soon, demons from the Abyss over two meters tall crawled out of the rift, howling up at the sky. Their crimson eyes fixed on the summoner, revealing malicious intent;

One by one, the Abyssal demons emerged until a total of five were summoned. The Space-Time Rift couldn’t withstand the strain and shattered completely.

The Abyssal Summoner wiped the blood from his mouth, his expression twisting slightly. This was the first time he had summoned so many Abyssal demons, and controlling them placed great pressure on his soul;

“Charge forward and destroy all living creatures inside that villa!” the Abyssal Summoner player bellowed, pointing at the villa where a battle was taking place;

“This is your first command to us and also the last. Once we complete it, we will regain our freedom. Now, start running, Summoner. As soon as the task is done, we will kill you first!” An Abyssal demon said with sinister eyes and a savage smile on its face while staring down the player.

Abyssal language was a compulsory course for Abyssal Summoners. After hearing what the demon had said, the Summoner’s face turned even paler, seemingly realizing he had made a colossal mistake;

“No, no, damn it, my power has grown too quickly, how could I forget the prohibitions of Abyssal Summoning!” Panic surged across the player’s face.

All creatures summoned from the Abyss would obey only one command and complete one task. After that, their contract with the summoner would be fulfilled. Once the task was completed, the Abyssal demons would regain their freedom and be bound by no constraints;

At that point, these summoned demons often saw the one who had summoned them as an enemy and relentlessly pursued them;

Therefore, Abyssal Summoners would only summon those demons they could deal with, or give them commands that essentially sent them to their deaths.

But in this Assessment Space, where his powers had grown too fast, the Abyssal Summoner, with all his might, had summoned demons beyond his control. Most importantly, he had issued a foolish order. The players inside the villa could not possibly stand against five Abyssal demons, each as strong as a level 38 elite BOSS.

As the Abyssal Summoner despaired, his companion suddenly pulled him aside and whispered, “Have you forgotten about the landmines at the end of the bridge? Those are high-explosive landmines capable of instantly killing a level 38 player. Just those mines should be enough to deal with the big guys you’ve summoned!”

“Indeed, we’ll follow behind them and hurry across the bridge. Right now, they are the perfect meat shields!” another player whispered, gradually moving and following behind the five Abyssal demons.

By this time, more than twenty players had gathered on the bridge. During the stalemate, the corrosive aura was closing in at an accelerating pace, leaving them little time.

This also led the twenty-plus players to form a temporary alliance. Even if they had to determine a winner, it would have to wait until after crossing the bridge;
