The Lost Land of Gold

Lu Yizhan closed his eyes.

Mu Sicheng's skills were born in the same way that Georgia's skills were born.

The reason Georgia's skill is to turn back time three hours is something other than Armand's - on the day of the accident, Georgia came out of the Gurolum country looking for him, leading the way for him to get in.

It was exactly three hours from the time Georgia had left the gates of Gloria's kingdom to the time he had taken himself back in again, and at that moment Georgia was on his knees, and he was staring in a trance at the gold dust that covered Gloria's kingdom, and he was muttering nothing but the same words:

"...... I'm late."

"Late ......"

In this world, sometimes human desires aren't even human desires, they're just a fun way to collect on the pain that God needs.

Game, Mine.

After Mu Ke takes Georgia down the mine with a flash back, Tang Er quickly pulls out his gun and takes on the control player of Georgia's team, and Kris, with a glaring look, throws out a wall of Bai Liu's viscous fluidity to block the control player's path.

[System Alert: Player Kris using personal skill (not Newton fluid)]

[The fluid volume can be extended, but the more extended, the thinner the wall shaped by the fluid, the worse the impact resistance, but the theoretical level can be verified up to ten meters to block any S-rank attack, especially effective against physical attacks such as firearms, can be 100% defense, the defense against magical attacks is weak].

[Available for 15 minutes, cd time 1 hour.]

The bullet hits the wall of flowing liquid and is instantly swallowed up, Bai Liu stares at this wall for a moment and his eyes narrow.

Non-Newton fluid, supposedly some sort of liquid bulletproof undershirt material that works against bullets and object resistance, getting firmer the harder you push it, and almost accurately restraining their primary Tang Er hit.

But their team can take on more than one player at the leadoff position.

"Jiayi, up the poison, you defend Kris." Bai Liu quickly ordered, "This skill can't defend against your magic attacks."

"Roger that." Liu Jiayi nodded his head and stepped forward, flinging his hand out and the poison landed in a spray that instantly dyed the milky white non-Newton fluid wall a purple-black color that emanated an unsettling poisonous mist, and the control bit player who was behind the shield was instantly besieged by the black-dyed wall wrapping around him, and his lifesteal rapidly dropped by a fraction of a point.

Kris gritted her teeth as she backhanded the fluid and withdrew it, gluing the blackened fluid at Bai Liu, who was standing tall and observing the whole situation.

The fluid enchanted by the poison happened to be corrosive, and she was waiting for it!

Now she'll be able to follow Georgia's captain's tactic of switching from defense to offense, assuming the primary responsibility of attacking and blocking Bai Liu!

Don't think that Armand is the only member of Golden Dawn's main offense either!

Kris' brown eyes exploded with light, "Quit the game right here, Bai Liu!"

The black fluid erupted, spreading ten meters from top to bottom under Kris's manipulation, wrapping Bai Liu in layers!

"Golden Dawn played well with this offense-defense transition." Heart, who was sitting in the audience, lazily dragged his jaw and looked at the big screen, commenting nonchalantly, "Kris' [Non-Newton Fluid] obviously restrains Tang Er from fighting, but Jiayi's Poison Skill also restrains [Non-Newton Fluid], and after her Poison blackens Kris' Fluid, this Fluid takes on corrosive properties, and will cause damage to its own team members hiding behind it, which means that it loses its [Shield] effect."

"Kris's [Shield] is what this team of Golden Dawn has been relying on the most, if Armand's Hurricane is the Golden Dawn's sheathed sword, Kris's [Shield] is like a knight's armor that never leaves his body."

"I had expected Georgia to become very constrained in their playstyle after Jiayi grammed [Shield], as teams that have relied on [Shield] for a long time will, and have a subconscious fear of losing [Shield]."

Phoebe, sitting next to Heart, pondered, "It's just as weak as the Kingsmen you're on, isn't it?"

Heart's commentator's voice gave a beat and lazily swept Phoebe with his afterglow, "President Phoebe, you took the initiative to come to the auditorium to ask me, a retired tactician, to analyze the battle situation, so you should still have the minimum courtesy to me, right?"

"I'm sorry." Phoebe apologized politely, "Please continue your analysis."

Heart withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "You're right though, Georgia does have certain qualities that are a bit like mine, which is why these two teams we serve as tacticians are able to produce two of the strongest Shield players in the league."

"If I had to describe it, I'm weak and Georgia is protective."

"Georgia is a very protective tactician, he seems to fear something happening to his team members, even when everyone on the field has an immunity card, he subconsciously hides all of his team members behind [shields] to keep them well protected."

"So I was kind of surprised that he played this switch to defense, it's not his style of play."

Heart looked up at the big screen, "But it does seem like a good tactic."

"After Jiayi's poison blackened Kris's fluid, [Shield] did fail, but accordingly, Kris got a fluid with a wide range of manipulatable enchanted attacks, and that fluid also had a barrier function, which effectively prevented the opponent from returning to the defense since it didn't allow aggressive people to pass through."

"A very powerful attack." Phoebe thought for a moment, "If it were me, I'd separate everyone in the fluid and stack my own [Hell Prayer Song], which reduces the life bar of all enemy players to under fifty at once, and would also focus on attacking Bai Liu, stacking all of the team members in a way that would try to send him out of the game in the time it takes for this skill to work. "

"What a radical tactic, no shields, using all the skills of the team members to stack attacks and strongly set fire to the opponent's tactician, this will cause the opponent to violently counterattack, it's easy to die team members." Heart replied faintly, he paused for a moment, "But ...... Georgia does seem to be prepared to do the same."

"I thought you said he wouldn't use tactics like that at the expense of his players?" Phoebe asked rhetorically with a shrug.

"Because the tempo was fastened by Bai Liu." Heart ponders for a moment, "Or maybe Georgia is playing at a fast pace."

"With both tacticians striving for a quick resolution to the game, it's easy to play such over-the-top tactics."

Heart looked at the big screen with half-lidded eyes, "...... At such a fast pace, what the hell are they running from?"

"Right." Phoebe held her face in confusion and tilted her head quizzically, "There aren't even any monsters in this one yet, it feels like a puzzle game, just the perfect copy for [Shield] and Georgia's skills to be utilized, so why is he playing so fast?"

Game.

The moment the fluid falls on the wrapped Bai Liu, Tang Er plays a strong turn of the gun, aiming at the fatal spot of the defenseless Kris, without the protection of the shield, but also have to focus on attacking Bai Liu's life value of Kris is rapidly declining.

Golden Dawn's control and roaming position quickly closes in to disrupt Tang Er's fight.

[System Alert: Player Bellock using skill (Birdcage)] (Control Bit)

[This skill generates a birdcage that traps the player inside and prevents them from moving. Inside the birdcage are thorns and man-eating birds, which constantly peck at the player, interfering with the player's ability to move, and will have a Spirit Level drop effect when they are pecked.]

[Skill duration is 20 minutes, cd one hour.]

[System alert: Player More using skill (Shadow)] (Wandering position)

[This skill can turn the player into a shadow, into the object light and shadow, the player bends down the shadow in the lightless place can be detached from the ground and rise up to catch the opponent, in the light place can only stick to the ground under the enemy attack the shadow attack in the ground is regarded as ineffective, the attack on the ground of the shadow attack is regarded as effective, but the attack power is reduced by half].

The orientation within the mine was narrow, and there was no way to avoid it, Tang Er hit was instantly trapped by the birdcage, and many seemingly real light shadows began to appear around him, constantly attacking him and interfering with him.

But even in such a situation, Tang Er fights still strong in the attack - in such a situation where both sides are attacking with high intensity, one point of weakening in his attack is one point more likely for them to lose the game.

Tang Er hit completely regardless of the bird that was pecking at him and was cutting his shadow with a knife, still by the slumping life and spirit values, blood oozing from the corners of his forehead and temples, his deep blue eyes cold and unrelenting, his gun poking out of the birdcage and firing one after another at Kris's heart under heavy interference.

With both sides giving up on defense, offense is the best defense!

Kris's face tightens, and she has to recall the poisonous non-Newton fluid she's pumping out to partially cover herself under Tang Er Fight's strong attack, molding a very thin fluid-shallow shield over her body - a shield that's also poisoned, and which will keep dropping her lifesteal, but at least it's a protection against the Tang Er's bullets.

This team's main attacker's attack was too terrifying, even with her shield on, she could feel the violent impact of the bullets hitting her shield, shocking her chest and making Kris feel a little bit creeped out - she was aware of the protective effect of her shield against bullets, and to be able to hit with such an effect through the shield, this guy's gun attack must be high to high! She was aware of her shield's protection against bullets, and if she could get this kind of effect through her shield, this guy's gun attack must be too high!

If her shield hadn't happened to restrain firearms, she would have been killed by one of the guy's magazines!

[System warning: Tang Er fight's life value is down to 47.]

[System warning: Mu Ke's life value is down to 32.]

Liu Jiayi who was standing in the center was gritting her teeth, her antidote skills were all used to Mu Sicheng during her entrance, and now that an hour hadn't yet expired, the antidote skills hadn't been reset yet, and just now she had used her poison skills as well, and her big move was almost reset, but using Poison Swamp as a big move in a place like the mines and stacking up on the other team's [Non-Newton Fluid] would be a devastating blow for them a devastating blow.

But now, if she hadn't miscalculated correctly, the lifelines of all the members should have dropped down to the safety line except Bai Liu.

The enemy's players were also desperate in their output, and the defensive team that Wang Shun had talked to them about before was not at all the same at all, and both sides were hitting at such a fast pace that her healing couldn't keep up with it!

Gonna start attrition!

Liu Jiayi gritted her teeth and looked towards Bai Liu who was wrapped in a heavy barrier of poison, she began to choke and cough uncontrollably, gold dust with blood spilled out from the corner of her lips, with the unstoppable choking and coughing, her heart began to beat at a strangely slow pace, her pupils spreading bit by bit, she covered her lips that were constantly coughing out gold dust with her right hand, and looked down to her left hand.

Starting from her fingertips, her fingers began to be dyed gold, or more accurately, turned into gold, little by little.

Liu Jiayi's breathing stopped as she quickly tapped on the system panel, but as her limbs began to turn to gold, her movements began to become stiff, and it took several taps in a row to open the system panel.

No problems with life and spirit values?

Liu Jiayi's pupils tightened.

What's going on?

There was nothing unusual, she hadn't triggered any key props, there were no game clues or signs at all, so why had she suddenly turned into a golden sculpture?

Liu Jiayi was reluctantly about to use up her last great skill, the distortion of the gold had filled her heart so much that choking and coughing was beginning to be an effort, her fingers almost shaking, and the moment she was about to fling out the bottle of poison six silver rose bullets fell from the highest point and went straight through her heart.

Her fingertips stopped, looking back incredulously at where the bullet had been fired, and she slowly collapsed to the ground, blood spilling from the side of her mouth along with the gold dust.

[System alert: Player Liu Jiayi's life value is zero, he exits the game.]

Tang Er hit unbelievably looked toward the location where the bullet just shot out, in the moment just Jiayi was hit, the gun in his hand disappeared, the only person who can use his gun is ......

Kris looked incredulously at the six bullets that had penetrated her barrier - her barrier was impenetrable to any object with offense, but just now, the bullets with the strongest protection of her barrier had actually penetrated through six of them and killed a player?

How did this happen?

The moment Kris was flabbergasted, her maneuvering of the fluid slackened, and the barrier wrapped around Bai Liu fell to the ground, Bai Liu still holding his gun up to where Liu Jiayi had fallen, raising his eyes to look around at all of the frozen people, he had a calm expression on his face, not at all like the tactician who'd just suddenly shot one of his own key team members and seemed to be speaking in a perceptive manner:

"So here's the key point."

"It's time."

Ornamental Pool.

The host had frozen, and as he looked at Bai Liu, who was still smoking from the muzzle of the gun in his hand on the big screen, he could only let out a stunned, "Huh?!"

The audience exploded:

"Shit, what is this guy doing?!"

"He killed his team's healer?!"

"Is it an oopsie?!"

"It can't be, can it? He fired six shots! If this is an oops, this is fucking outrageous?!"

"There's no way it's an ouroboros, Bai Liu who emptied the witch's bloodstain in one go! And he's still holding his gun up, looking totally ready to make up two more shots if he can't kill her!"
