From the perspective of these three individuals, they saw the man "trapped the super beautiful girl who couldn't take her eyes off him under the tree trunk", and the man's glaring blood-red name in their sight made them instinctively feel a wave of panic.
"What... what's going on?"
"A red name player!?"
It was only the second day of the game, and normally, red name players were as rare as national treasures. But now, to encounter one in a place like this was even more terrifying than coming across a national treasure.
However, this scene provided them with a reason to gather their courage and approach.
"Beast! Let go of that girl!"
"..." "..."
Yunyou and Qingyu silently glanced at the three individuals opposite, but they didn't respond.
Seeing that the other three were all level 4, they shouldn't be players who just went out of the city to level up this morning. Although it was a bit surprising to encounter someone in this place so early, Yunyou was actually somewhat relieved because this would be an excellent opportunity to break the stalemate.
After a brief silence, Yunyou suddenly lifted his hand without warning and roughly gripped Qingyu's chin. In the startled expression of the girl, he turned his head and smiled provocatively at the three individuals in front of him.
"What's the matter? Three rookies want to compete with me for a girl? I've already killed two, I don't mind killing three more. Are you sure you want to die?"
Yesterday evening, because Yunyou had been teaching Qingyu about combat knowledge, he himself hadn't leveled up much. So right now, he was only level 5. However, even though he was only one level higher than the three individuals in front of him, the aura he exuded seemed like he could kill them at any moment.
After all, as an assassin, Yunyou didn't need to pretend with this kind of aura. He played his role naturally.
But the reason Yunyou suddenly said these words was to deliberately provoke the other side. As long as the other side was determined to "rescue the abducted girl from the hands of a red name player", Yunyou would pretend to be defeated afterwards, creating a perfect escape plan.
Yunyou had also been troubled by Qingyu's entanglement, so he had thought a lot about it.
However, Yunyou underestimated Qingyu's intelligence in the end. Almost instantly, Qingyu saw through his intentions and pushed away from Yunyou's "restraint". Then she looked at the three individuals in front of her.
"Don't worry, miss, we are many people. We will definitely rescue you from the clutches of such a scoundrel!"
Listen to the speech of a heroic and righteous savior, Yunyou almost felt embarrassed. His heart was anxious, could you three please hurry up and take action, don't give this little girl a chance to explain!
Fortunately, the other side didn't postpone any longer. Even though they faced both the threat of a red name player and the fact that their own levels hadn't reached the safety line of level 12, they resolutely took out their weapons.
As a man, it was natural for him to stand up without hesitation and lend a helping hand when such a delicate and beautiful girl was caught in the clutches of a murderer!
The scenario of a hero saving a beauty was not only an indelible memory in the hearts of most girls, but also a performance stage that many men yearned for. Especially in a situation where there were more people against fewer, and they could also rescue such a beautiful girl. If they had the opportunity to win the affection of the beauty, wouldn't that be delightful?
Yunyou cooperatively took out his own dagger. Just as the two sides were about to engage in a big battle, the gray-haired girl suddenly stretched out her arms and directly blocked Yunyou, glaring at the three individuals approaching.
"Wait a minute! Listen to me! Ye Yunyou is not a bad person! He used to be..."
"Alright! You three are seeking death! Don't blame me for not warning you. Did you really think having more people would make a difference?"
Qingyu's second interruption was hastily interrupted by Yunyou, imitating the tone of the other side and giving a standard villain line. At the same time, she pushed Qingyu, who was standing in front of her, afraid that this battle wouldn't start.
"Ye Yunyou! You can't kill anymore!"
The words from Qingyu, who was pushed to the side, stunned the three approaching individuals. The situation suddenly became somewhat delicate. Could it be that this red name player really had such strong abilities? Clearly, it was three against one, so why would he be asked not to kill?And in this moment of confusion, Yunyou had already rushed forward with a dagger in hand.
The battle was forced to commence, and the current players were limited by their levels, with system skills not yet unlocked. Most of the tactics that could be employed in attacks could only be controlled by the players themselves using auxiliary systems. However, in Yunyou's eyes, this rough combat technique was similar to street brawls. Without exaggeration, even barehanded, Yunyou could easily handle the three individuals in front of him. The only difference might be the HP limit, as it was not yet possible to achieve one-hit kills.
But now they were just acting, so they had to make the act more convincing.
Yunyou purposely slowed down his movements, giving the opponent enough time to dodge. Facing the siege of the three individuals, Yunyou could only pretend to be flustered and barely avoid their attacks. However, upon careful observation, it was not difficult to notice that amidst the flashes of blades, none of the attacks actually landed on Yunyou.
In the eyes of the opponents, it was a battle against a "red-named player," and it seemed just as challenging as they had expected. Meanwhile, Yunyou acted exhausted. Pretending to be evenly matched with an enemy of this level, others would not know how difficult it was for him to restrain himself from attacking.
The deadlock of the battle continued for several minutes, accompanied by the sound of metal weapons colliding. Qingyu, who had been standing on the side, was now completely unable to intervene. Even though she was intelligent and quick to learn unfamiliar knowledge, this type of battle had already exceeded her current abilities.
However, the two of them were now in a party. Yunyou had also taught Qingyu how to observe her teammate's status. Qingyu had been closely monitoring Yunyou's HP and felt slightly relieved when she saw that he had not even been touched.
Ding! Yunyou once again skillfully deflected the opponent's long sword with his dagger, finally freeing himself from the entanglement. He quickly took a few steps back, creating some distance.
After locking eyes with the three individuals for a few seconds, it seemed that Yunyou was pondering something. After a while, he finally spoke.
"You guys are tough! Don't think it's over! I will make you regret this!"
There was no other choice. Typically, it would be others who said these words to Yunyou after they had been defeated. But now, Yunyou was playing the role of the defeated party, so he had to forcefully regain his pride. To say such things, he had to carefully think about it.
Although he had never said it before, he had learned to say it convincingly. Following the plan he had arranged, he quickly turned and ran without even glancing at Qingyu.
I'm sorry, An Qingyu. When should I run if not now?
