When the time for the special hunt came, the whole hunting ground was covered with a different kind of atmosphere.

Time back to the very beginning of the special hunt, amidst the wind and rain, summoner Momo’s surroundings refreshed 6 special hunting right players. The newly refreshed hunting right players had special emblems on their bodies to make it easier for other hunting right players to differentiate themselves from each other, each of them displaying [special hunter]’s emblems.

The players in the live viewing room clearly saw this scene, and they learned of his opponent before the Summonerdid.

[With this lineup, it hurts too much to surround the summoner.]

[Also meat ah, warrior is meat, array master probability is a half suffer genre, physical swordsman defense is not bad ……]

Summoner’s side refreshed 6 players, respectively a warrior, physical swordsman, Doaist priest, array master, assassin and a mage. Except for the warrior’s attack ability being a little weak, the others had strong attack professions. The other players were all professions with powerful attacks, both magic and physical, melee and long range, even if the level of the players varied, but a lineup like this was a particularly dangerous start for a Summoner.

Hunting time was limited, and these players already knew the rules, immediately judging and looking around for their teammates as well as their target prey the moment they landed, intending to use the 10 minutes to take heads for rewards.

The hunters leapt to their feet, and the eyes of the watching players fell on the Summoner in the field.

And the time had just begun – the wind and rain raged, and the wet summoner’s afterglow swept over the unsettled mountains, the noise, the discussion, far and near.

Wrapped in the wind and rain were the sounds of the hunters getting closer and closer. The summoner paused slightly to judge the direction, and took a leap up the high slope, approaching his first opponent silently with a lithe posture, using the natural cover of the mountains and forests – the nearest mage.

It was the mage who was closest to him.

At this moment, mage was still familiarizing himself with the environment of the hunting ground, and looked around as if he was looking for his teammates. Before he could find his teammates, SpectralFox dropped down from a high place and directly controlled him with a very fast single charm that left the mage powerless, hitting him first!

Mage woke up in a flash, handing over the disarm and shouting, “Man over here!”

There was a sound of movement in the forest, the surrounding player hunters seem to have noticed the movement and were closing in.

In the shadows, the Summoner ignored them all, and the moment Mage’s control break ended, another control stun followed, once again pinning the Mage in place. He was more of a hunter than mage, and White Tiger plus Solitary Wolf’s back-to-back attacks, combined with SpectralFox’s single mana, caught mage off-guard with just three summoned beasts.

Charm, stun, single attack, pummel and then charm. The organized set of attacks and extremely fast maneuvers were overwhelming.

Summoner’s attack was even swifter than before, and in a full blood state, he simply killed the first hunter under the watchful eyes of everyone in the battle room!

The players in the viewing room: ?????

[Wait? That’s 1 kill!?]

[Most of these are normal players, it’s not that difficult to kill them one by one.]

[But he’s still pretty fierce, this is a straight up combo!]

[The others seem to have gathered, but the Summoner isn’t moving, what’s he doing?]

Summoner withdrew all of his summoned beasts and quieted down, observing Vicinity’s scene from above.

He scanned the number of special hunting right players at the hunting time, after this side reached a kill, the hunting right player was reduced by one, which meant that these hunting right players could be killed completely, and after the kill, they would also be counted by the mastermind in the headcount.

There is an underlying rule in the rules of this hunting ground that the number of special hunting rights players won’t be lower because only 75 people were left in the ground. Right now it’s 500 hunting rights players roughly distributed around each player, they have 75 people left in the first hour, the second hour the number will only be smaller, but the special hunting rights players base was large.

The further they go, the more special hunting rights players that refresh around them will only be distributed more evenly as the total number of people decreases.

In other words, the best time to kill special hunting rights players was in the first hour.

The more you killed, the better the special hunting hours would be later on.

Thinking about this, the Summoner slightly lowered his eyes, his skills cooldown was ready.

After seeing the Summoner kill the Mage, the players in the live viewing room thought that he wanted to take this opportunity to break through and leave this place, but they didn’t expect him to stop and silently climb up a high tree after judging the sound, like a hibernating hunter waiting for the next time to attack.

[Crap, ten minutes, isn’t he going to run?]

[He has just torn open a rift, escaping now would totally last ten minutes, ah.]

[Is it just me …… I think Momo is trying to kill these people back.]

[Wait, you guys look at those players! They’re not red names, ah…]

[We can see them clearly on our side, but the players inside don’t know!]

The players noticed a point that wasn’t mentioned in the hunting code – The special hunting rights players were not hostile to each other.

The hunters in the mountain forest converged together by virtue of each other’s voices, and because of the special rule, they were not hostile to each other, and could assist each other, and the skill would not fall on their teammates, which was an extremely lethal potential mechanic for other hunted players, and it was a complete one-player versus many-player rodeo.

For the Summoner, he didn’t know this potential mechanic yet.

Because in his eyes, everyone was red.

Just as there was a lot of discussion between the spectators, the Summoner, who was standing on the tree, moved.

He summoned LunarFeline and placed LunarFeline in the grass directly across from him, in addition to a slower Zephyr Hawk with a wider range at the grass behind LunarFeline.

With one Mage dead, the remaining five players chose to move forward in a group after the rendezvous, and with the loss of mini-map vision, they could only rely on observation to determine the location of their prey. Just a few steps in, one of them heard a loud noise coming from the bushes, mixed in with the wind and rain, it wasn’t very loud, like the sound of a person walking by.

The player informed his companion in a whisper “There’s someone over there.” 

The others immediately became cautious, following the location of the sound and gradually encircling it in several directions.

They intended to surround and kill the prey.

The Summoner in the tree, however, did not move, he watched player hunters pass below, his eyes roving over the people, one by one, judging their profession …… appeared in the field of vision. There were a total of four people, warrior, physical swordsman, Doaist priest, array master, counting the mage that had just been killed for a total of five.

But this number of people was not right.

According to the rules of the hunting ground, at least 6-7 people would be assigned to his side, and so far no one had appeared, this remaining profession would only be an assassin, who could be invisible.

The Summoner raised his eyes to look at another location, where no one was guarded, it is the path that an assassin will take with great probability, and it is also the farthest away from him.

Then …… would have to pick someone to make a move on first, his gaze falling on the enemy Doaist priest diagonally in front of him.

[Crap he’s trying to make a move!]

[These five people, direct hit!]

Silently, an unoccupied encirclement was about to form, and right at this moment, LunarFeline in the bushes immediately jumped out, and directed a group disruption at the closest Warrior and Physical Swordsman.

The leader player immediately realized something was wrong, “Tricked! It’s a summoned beast!”

It was only then that the special hunting rights players saw their opponent.

In the middle of the mountain forest storm, the Summoner stood tall with a lantern staff in his hand. His robes were all wet, his wet hair was plastered to his face, and his body was so thin and weak that he looked like he would be blown away by the wind at any moment. A weak looking summoner, presuming to use the control of a summoned beast against them, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up, killing this summoner in front of them, they would be able to obtain a reward from the mastermind.

There was only one prey in front of them, only those who succeeded in taking the summoner’s head could possibly obtain the reward, their teammates were both their helpers but also their competitors.

Opportunity waits for no one.

The two players who had been charged immediately applied their dispels and retreated.

The Summoner on the tree, however, had anticipated this, and at the same time as they used  their dispels, Zephyr Hawk, who had ambushed them in the bushes at an unknown time, slowed down and then followed up, and just happened to be stuck in the range, controlling them again.

At the same time, the Summoner moved.

The other summoned beasts lurking around the summoner rushed to the side of Daoist priest first, and with the full state of burst output, single continuous control supplemented by summoned beast attack stacking poison, in front of several other players, directly killed a powerful Daoist priest!

Took the lead and tore through the defense!

This wave of damage caught all the players off guard, each of them wanted to grab the Summoner’s head, each of them wanted to save the most powerful skill for the end, the brief hesitation made them miss the opportunity to help their teammates, and watched Daoist Priest get killed in Summoner’s all-out fire!

The signal of this kill was like a complete opening of both sides’ defenses.

The special hunting rights players also immediately realized the problem and decided to join forces to subdue the Summoner first!

“Doaist priest is gone.”

“Hit the Summoner first!”

“Physical swordsman and Array master, control him!!!”

Physical swordsman sprinted to the summoner’s side at the first opportunity and slashed at him, chipping away 5% of his blood.

The distant Array master immediately cast fear array when physical swordsman entangled the summoner, at the instant of array forming, the summoner retreated half a step as if he had a predetermined judgment, directly avoiding the control of fear array, utilizing his movement speed to slip away from physical swordsman’s hands. Slipping away.

Array master’s attack did not hesitate, fear array did not damage physical swordsman.

The Summoner realizes something was wrong.

[Crap, momo retreated?!]

[There’s an assassin approaching him!]

[He’s locked onto array master, what does he want?]

In the increasingly treacherous mountain forest, the Summoner’s silhouette was like a silent hunter.

He changed his strategy in an instant, and did not choose to continue to deal with physical swordsman, but instead used his light skill to go straight forward, rushed straight to the side of the array master, and the heavenly spirit lamp that spread out ghostly light struck array master’s wrist with a clear purpose, cleanly and efficiently interrupting his casting of spells!

At the same time, all the summoned beasts around him rushed towards the physical swordsman.

Warrior didn’t lag behind and immediately went up to free array master, however the Summoner didn’t retreat, his light staff struck the arrey master with precision, leaving him, who was supposed to be assisting in opening an array, with no power to fight back, and was straight up blindsided by this chain of interruptions!

A lithe pet appeared at the Summoner’s side, Soul Rabbit flicked its ears and stepped on the Warrior’s face, slapping it with an ear without mercy.

The physical swordsman in the distance was entangled in multiple summoned beasts while the Summoner in the near distance was 1v2 with Black Tortoise’s damage reduction.

[Holy shit, I’m getting goosebumps watching this!]

[Did the summoner realize the red name problem!]

[I think so, he immediately went for the array master with the most control.]

[There’s still an Assassin! Assassin is approaching him!]

SilentSharpshooter joined the fight, and Su Mo notices the contraction of Warrior’s movements.

He immediately switched pets to turn in Misty Skill, and the 30s of False Confusion reappeared, and the stealthy assassin struck the False Confusion at the first moment of the Blade’s appearance, and the continued confusion appeared, knocking him right out of his original form.

Soul Rabbit disappeared, and the newly appeared Veil Wraith looked like a mini-boss, Mist Whip flung itself at the array master’s body, and along with the master’s chain of interrupts, pressed the array master’s blood level down to 50% in a matter of seconds!

At this time, the assassin used dispel and entered stealth again, and the distant physical swordsman also broke away from the Summoner’s entanglement and rushed to save the day.

The moment the warrior and physical swordsman approached, the dummies immediately moved, and because they were too close, once they attacked they would accidentally hit the dummies, and tried to lock onto the Summoner for an attack, but they were blocked by the minions released by Veil Wraith, the spirit pet. There were too many targets around, causing their lock on to drift briefly.

After 10s, when the assassin finally found a breakthrough point to avoid the illusion, the cooldown of summoned beasts finished, and a new round of skill came. The Summoner very decisively killed the array master, and immediately switched the target to the assassin, and utilized the control to prevent him from stealthing again.

At this point, the Summoner’s blood level was only 50%, but he has already killed three remote opponents.

Only the warrior, physical swordsman, and assassin remained.

The players in the live viewing room watched this exciting 1v6, and saw the Summoner almost recklessly close in and attack, first restraining the remote profession that could headlock him, and then using the spiritual pet skill to buy time to wait for the summoned beast skill to cooldown, and exchanging 50% of his blood for the deaths of the three remote professions, and his movements were seamless and fluid. He attacked without hesitation and withdrew without delay.

A sprint back to pull away from the distance, began to really utilize the advantages of a summoner, remote kiting these three melee opponents.

The spirit pet changed again, Soul Rabbit joined the battle, seven summoned beasts appeared on the field, surrounding the three melee fighters.

[Holy shit, seven summoned beasts, Momo’s spirit power is more than A, right?]

The reason why summoner, as a profession, is in the sewer is because it is difficult to operate, requiring the player to multi-task while fighting. A good summoner has every summoned beast as his vision, most summoner players can control 3-4 summoned beasts at the same time, and the Sect top stream FireworksAndLanterns has a record of summoning 7 summoned beasts at the same time in a single game.

And now, the Summoner had summoned 7 summoned beasts at the same time for the second time, counting Soul Rabbit, he truly managed to control 8 summoned beasts at the same time, breaking the record of Spirit Sanctuary’s summoner big brother, FireworksAndLanterns, and becoming the new record holder.

The three melee players were directly confused, so many summoned beasts surrounded them, even if there was no control skill, the only output skill also let them enough, at this time, physical swordsman decisively risked a wave, seized the gap to open the full state of charging straight to the Summoner.

Physical swordsman counted on the cooldown of the Summoner’s control skill, this attack, the Summoner couldn’t stop him!

As long as he touched him, this skill was enough to take away the summoner who only had 50% blood in one wave.

As he was about to get close, the Summoner’s lantern staff suddenly changed into a spell casting set.

A huge Bear appeared in the forest, a [Taunt] shifted the physical swordsman’s attack target, making the physical swordsman’s full attack completely fall on the summoned beast [Bear], and the Bear with a huge amount of thick blood only had 20% of its blood left after absorbing this wave of damage, but it stood in front of the Summoner, very intimidating.

Bear, a summoned beast that was often used by the Summoner in the PvE field.

At this moment, it was like a loyal guard, utilizing its Black Tortoise-like ability to divert damage, successfully pulling the physical swordsman’s ultimate skill into the cooldown.

Summoner’s cooperation made a difficult 3v1 into a tug-of-war.

Summoner’s action didn’t stop there, the summoned beast’s powerful burst was ready again, he directly utilized White Tiger and LunarFeline to harvest the assassin, and aimed at the physical swordsman who lost his ultimate skill. Soul Rabbit and Solitary Wolf attacked in close succession, SpectralFox released a single swarm attack, and the Snake’s stacking poison continued.

Physical swordsman’s hopes of killing the Summoner were dashed directly. With so many summoned beasts on the field, he was unable to counterattack one just as he locked on to another one. He gave up his offense under the hard grinding of the beasts, and watched as he was blown up by the Snake.

The players in the viewing room were dumbfounded.

Because counting the Bear, the Summoner was controlling 8 summoned beasts as well as 1 spirit pet at the same time at this moment, once again breaking the summoner’s summoning record and accomplishing the feat of 9 summons in a single game.

At this point, the Summoner’s target was placed on the last warrior.

Warrior 80% blood, summoner 40% blood, but no one thought the Summoner would lose.

The Summoner, who was holding the lantern staff in the wind and rain, collected the last head very easily, and thus, the hunting time was over.

[Special hunting time is over, take back all hunting rightplayer, enter repair state.]

[Hunting ground player 64/100, special hunting player NPC 369/500, special hunting time opening countdown: 00:49:41]

The players in the viewing room then reacted to the fact that the 1v6 feat that had just taken place was actually nearly 10 minutes, and in those ten minutes the Summoner had gone from one by one to a Jedi kill until finally 30% of his blood was left!

[Jedi, I’m now going back to thrashing myself from an hour ago, this is called watery? FirstUnderHeaven fans misguided me!]

[Oh my god, 1v6 looks so good, how great must his 20 kills have been!]

[Correction, he entered 1v6 after consecutive kills of FirstUnderHeaven, Midnight Bell, the man’s form is too strong.]

[Good guy, 9 summons in a single game, if he comes up in the overall rating, he’ll directly crush FireworksAndLanterns.]

[He only had 7 summons against FirstUnderHeaven, right? Oh my god, he’s actually hiding his strength].

The hunting ground winded up, the special hunting players actually had 369 left in 10 minutes, while the hunting ground players had only 11 deaths, living up to its name as a top tier hunting ground, this place was like a godly fight.

“My mom? Did you guys see ReturnToSimplicity? He killed 4 people in the first hour!”

“CloudTraveller countered Begonia, Warrior countered Mage, it’s amazing!”

“ReturnToSimplicity just topped the special hunt time with another kill!”

“Summoner Momo, he killed two Sect firsts in his opening hour.”

At this moment, the spectator players witnessed a sound battle and began to run around, the forums, Global Channel, various small groups, more and more eyes stopped on summoner Momo’s body.

Time passed by, and the field became less and less crowded.

Summoner’s movements did not stop, with his blood and mana back up, he took the initiative to attack, targeting the other players on the field.

[ReturnToSimplicity successfully kills Ryuunen!]

[Momo successfully kills Smile, Don’t Cry!]

……

[CloudTraveller kills Blue!]

[Momo kills Ferryman!]

[ReturnToSimplicity successfully killed DazzlingLily!]

“Oh my god, the Summoner is so strong.”

“I’m dazzled, he’s got a sense of ease the more he plays.”

“He looks like he’s enjoying himself so much, it’s the first time I’ve ever watched a summoner fight so well.”

“I’m starting to watch summoner’s skill strategy, is it too late for me to commit to Spirit Sanctuary? I have A+ spirit power.”

“I have such high Spirit Power, yet I’m so trashy that I can’t even play a Summoner well.”

The players in the viewing room watched as kill announcements were made one after another, and the gods who had really let loose made a big splash in the hunting grounds. As for the dark horse summoner Mmomo, his kill announcements were even catching up with ReturnToSimplicity. This was a real dark horse, he was free and spontaneous, in the final hunting ground where the heroes gathered, he fought with the big brothers who had already become famous, and managed to kill his own territory, and became famous in a single battle.

The clock silently reaches 10:30, and the players on the hunting ground are getting fewer and fewer.

Su Mo heavily exhaled a cloudy breath, his body had already begun to feel tired, but that long-lasting sound battle drenching had made his spirit extremely exuberant, he restrained his wrist that was beginning to tremble a little, and his afterglow glanced at the alert value of the medical component.

The rain was getting heavier and the thunder was deafening.

Su Mo raised a hand to wipe the rain off his face, such a free and reckless time that he both enjoyed and longed for it to last a little longer.

The sound of the puddles splashing was weak and unheard in the storm.

Su Mo raised his eyes again, in front of him stood two players, the two came together, not surprised to see him, and did not want to exchange pleasantries, and directly flashed their weapons.

[Hunting GroundPlayer13/100, Special Hunting Players NPC 125/500, Countdown to opening of special hunt time: 00:19:21]

The playtime of the hunting ground seemed to be nearing its end.
