Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 160 Otherwise?
Level 1 is the mark that a boss can be contracted to become a pet, and there are a total of five such Silver-level bosses in the entire swamp region.

This was one of the reasons why he remained calm when selling the maniac Belio. He had plenty of clues about pets, but the ones he remembered most were rare treasures of unparalleled quality. He really didn't want to use his precious brain capacity on transitional items like these Silver-grade ones. Only these five were fortunate enough to be remembered because of the special circumstances of the Ironwood Swamp.

Looking at the swarm of black and red bees wandering back and forth, Ling Chuan didn't start fighting monsters on the spot. Instead, he silently recited the skill command, preparing to release the Twin Demon Spirits.

[Ding] System notification: Your teammate [Nan Ge Chu Yu] has been maliciously attacked by [Tian Kui] and [Tian Gang]. Since this player belongs to the [Tian Gang Squad], do you want to add all members of the squad to the hostile targets?
With the experience sharing area expanding, the combat prompts for the team status have become more detailed. Otherwise, based on the distance from the team, he would only receive kill notifications, just like last night.

[Ding] System notification: Your teammate [Muli Yanxue] has been maliciously attacked by players [Tiangu], [Tianshang], and [Tiansu]. Since these players belong to the [Tiangang Squad], do you want to add all members of the squad to the hostile targets?
Instantly, two system notifications filled Ling Chuan's ears. He glanced at the four people's status and saw that in just two seconds, Lin Xixi and Ling Feixue's health bars had dropped below 10%.

[Ding] System notification: Your teammate...

Following closely behind, Lin Keke and Yi Han suffered the same blows one after another. From the first system bell ringing to the four people's health bars dropping below 10%, the whole process lasted only four seconds before everything calmed down.

"Yes, this is the kind of method a top assassin should have."

Ling Chuan quickly dismissed the hostile notification and offered a rare compliment. Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, the system notifications and health changes made it easy to deduce the battle's unfolding. The Tiangang Squad had meticulously planned their attack, employing a 3+2 split to complete the mission.

The trio attacked Ling Feixue, who was a healer. One of them backstabbed her, stunning her for two seconds. The other two calculated the defense and added damage, leaving her with enough health for one backstab. Then, one of them switched targets to the exorcist Lin Keke.

The other person stayed behind to provide additional control, and incidentally suppressed Ling Feixue, who had saved up some health from a backstab, to below her normal health level.

The two-person team surrounded Lin Xixi, who was the strongest fighter. One of them backstabbed her, stunning her for two seconds. Then, they turned around and, together with the assassin who had freed up a spot in the three-person team, focused their fire on Lin Keke.

One of the remaining two members of the group, at the moment of the stun effect, launched a [Fierce Thrust] + normal attack + [Spinning Blade] at Lin Xixi in 0.75 seconds, instantly wiping out 93% of Lin Xixi's health.

At this moment, the second assassin who attacked Ling Feixue stunned her, preventing her from providing support. Ling Feixue's health dropped below 10%, and she was controlled throughout the entire process.

Lin Xixi's health was down to 7%, and with only one hit left to survive, she could only stealthily avoid the attack and was unable to fight.

Lin Keke lost 95% of her health in the blink of an eye. She managed to drop a suppression talisman at her feet, but her opponent didn't linger and left after lowering her health. The third person was on the verge of death.

Yi Han suffered the worst. After the three of them suppressed him, the three plus two instantly combined into a team to focus fire on him. In less than 0.5 seconds, his health dropped to 3%, and he almost died.

After doing all this, the five of them vanished in stealth, leaving the entire battlefield to the four pale-faced people.

brush!
Ling Feixue's angelic protection enveloped the three of them. [Gentle Breeze] + [Spring Rain] (group heal) + [Holy Hand] + [Return to Heaven] (single target heal) restored their health to full, and then they huddled together, their emotions indescribable.

"what happened?"

A few seconds later, seeing that the assassin team had not appeared, Ling Feixue relaxed her guard slightly and quietly asked while holding her healing skill.

"I don't know, but the setup looks a lot like the group from last night," Yi Hanqing replied, glancing around as he spoke.

"It's not them. This team is on a completely different level from the ones from last night. We wouldn't even have a chance to fight back against them."

Gripping her dagger tightly, Lin Xixi was unusually solemn. In Sacred Domain 3, she had encountered powerful assassins before, but she had never seen an assassin squad so coordinated, so decisive, and so clear-headed. In four seconds, just four seconds, they were completely routed; if their opponents hadn't held back, she was certain they would already be back in the central square.

Ling Feixue frowned, puzzled, and asked, "But the Ironwood Swamp is full of mud traps, how did they get in? Did they follow us the whole time?"

Lin Xixi shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible. You all know how perceptive Qian-ge is. It's one thing if he's alone, but with five people following him, how could he not notice?"

This is an acknowledgment of Ling Chuan's abilities and a sign of trust in him.

"Sister Xue, did you notice the time between the captain leaving and the time we were attacked?"

Lin Keke's words immediately caught the attention of the three of them.

Ling Feixue checked the time and replied, "About three minutes."

"three minutes?"

Ling Chuan's last words before leaving echoed in everyone's minds. Although it took more than two minutes, it was almost the same. Coupled with the other party's ambiguous leniency, Ling Feixue looked at Yi Han, "Could this be the surprise Xiao Chuan was talking about?"

Yi Han nodded and had a more accurate assessment of the so-called "surprise." He wanted to state his conclusion directly, but he found that Lin Xixi's emotions were gradually escalating. A woman plus emotional turmoil... well, it's probably better to leave it to Xiao Chuan to handle. As for him, he can just watch.

"That bastard!!" With veins bulging on her forehead, Lin Xixi opened the team list and sent a voice request to Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan, who was confirming the arrival time with Blood Shadow Judge, received a voice invitation from Lin Xixi. He silently turned the volume down to 10% and then clicked to accept.

"Lingchuan!!!"

Wow! That tone! That vocal range! It's a waste of his talent to be a sports student.

Ling Chuan chuckled twice, turned the volume back up, and got straight to the point, "Judging from your excited look, did you receive a surprise?"

"Are you sick in the head?!"

She hadn't expected Ling Chuan to be so honest and sincere, admitting it before anyone even asked.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m perfectly healthy,” Ling Chuan retorted.

"What were you thinking? Hiring five assassins to attack your teammates??" Lin Xixi suppressed the urge to devour Ling Chuan's bear head and questioned him coldly.

Ling Chuan remained calm and composed. "Wasn't it because I was worried you'd be bored? I found some friends to keep you company."

"Madman! Psychopath! Stage-deep chuunibyou! Devil!"

Click!

After the voice call ended, Ling Chuan stroked his chin. What was going on? Had this little girl seen through his long-hidden chuunibyou soul? This wouldn't do; he had to change his image and demeanor. So he opened the team channel and sent a team voice message.

"Hello? Are you there?"

"I'm here." Ling Feixue's tone was somewhat helpless. Clearly, in such a short time, Lin Xixi had already completely blackened his image.

"Oh, that's good. Everyone, please share your feelings."

"I feel so wronged! The captain hired someone to sabotage his own teammates!" Lin Xixi's fiery temper couldn't be vented, and she felt miserable.

Ling Chuan coughed lightly, ignoring her resentment, and continued his previous question, "Isn't anyone going to share their feelings? If no one does, I'm going to hang up."

"Did the captain deliberately hire someone to train us...?"

The soft, gentle tone is full of healing and tenderness; it belongs to Lin Keke.

"Huh? Training?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feixue and Lin Xixi exclaimed in surprise.

Yi Han, however, merely curled the corners of his lips, remaining calm.

"Otherwise what? Instead of leveling up, you expect a team of top-tier assassins to play house with you?"

The flippant voice suddenly turned calm, followed by a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

"Top 100?"

Lin Xixi opened her mouth, her face filled with shock. What was the concept of the top 100? Considering her status as the 275th ranked assassin in the Saint Realm 3, the top 100 was practically a god.

I was a little surprised to see some readers in the comments confused about switching between [Divine Revelation] and [Sanctuary 3]; so let me explain it to you.

First point: Some readers have a question: This is Divine Revelation, so why did the higher-ups of the Black Coffin go to the Holy Domain when they were fighting over the avatars? Was the writing unclear?
It's not a blurry sentence. Currently, the highest level of Divine Revelation is 26. The average person has one passive skill and four active skills. These skills are not very useful to the higher-ups of Black Coffin. Therefore, in some disputes, they will choose to go to the PK arena in Sanctuary 3 to settle things. After all, everyone is at the maximum level, has enough skills, and has a high potential for development.

Secondly: Regarding rankings, [Sanctuary 3] will be mentioned. Currently, Divine Revelation has only just launched, so there's no Assassin Ranking yet. The current power rankings are all derived from Sanctuary 3. Unless Divine Revelation enters its mid-game and new class rankings emerge, the old rankings won't be used. My little darlings, this shouldn't be hard to understand, right?
