Chapter 1 Suddenly Dropping

The sudden appearance of six people from mid-air stunned both Lan Shuyun and Cang Yixiao.

Both sides were surprised at how these people had popped up.

"Boss Cang, a small team has suddenly appeared, and their levels are all very high. The lowest is level 25, and they're not easy to mess with," a level 23 ranger said, clicking his tongue.

Currently, elite players are around level 22, the more skilled ones are level 23, and experts are about level 24.

In Lan Shuyun's team, only Lan Shuyun had reached level 23, while the others were level 22.

The highest-level player in their team was Cang Yixiao, who was level 24, while the others ranged from level 21 to level 23.

But even an expert like Cang Yixiao was only level 24. In contrast, the six people who had fallen from the sky had a minimum level of 25, with the highest reaching level 27...

As everyone knows, the higher the level, the greater the difference in experience points between levels. Not to mention equipment, the mere fact that someone was level 27 was terrifying.

"Why do I feel like I recognize these people?" Cang Yixiao wasn't stupid. He scrutinized the group that had fallen from mid-air and then used his Observation skill, and his lips curled up slightly. "As expected, it's him!"

"Boss Cang, who are you talking about?" the ranger beside him asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten Yixiao Qingcheng's bounty?" Cang Yixiao said excitedly, looking at one of the level 25 swordsmen clad in black robes.

The ranger followed Cang Yixiao's gaze and used his Observation skill on the swordsman as well.

He discovered that the swordsman was named Hei Yan.

"Hei Yan?"

"Yes, Hei Yan. He's known as the number one expert in the Star-Moon Kingdom. Yixiao Qingcheng posted a bounty for Hei Yan two days ago. Just reporting Hei Yan's accurate location would earn you 10,000 credits. If you can wait for them to come and see Hei Yan, you'll get 300,000 credits. If you can kill Hei Yan, Yixiao Qingcheng is willing to pay 2 million credits. Many experts are tempted by this and have been searching for his whereabouts. I didn't expect that I would run into him."

"But Boss Cang, I heard that Hei Yan is very powerful. Many people can't do anything to him. I'm afraid we don't have enough people..."

"What are you afraid of? Now that the *God's Domain* system has been upgraded, the strength of both ordinary players and experts has greatly declined. Even if he is the number one expert in the Star-Moon Kingdom, he is now a tiger without claws or teeth. On my turf, he can't possibly turn the world upside down, can he?"

"Contact Yixiao Qingcheng now and tell them that we've found Hei Yan. Tell them to prepare the money to collect Hei Yan's corpse."

As Cang Yixiao spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately more than fifty red-named players surrounded Lan Shuyun's team and Hei Yan's team, not giving either team any chance to escape.

"What are you doing here?" Lan Shuyun asked Shi Feng in surprise.

Shi Feng was a *shenhao* (tycoon). She had originally planned to sell the two Warfire set pieces to Shi Feng after returning, but she didn't expect to encounter him here, and in such a predicament.

"You are?" Shi Feng looked at Lan Shuyun and suddenly remembered seeing this red-haired beauty before. He couldn't help but smile and say, "How has your harvest been these past few days?"

"Not bad. I was just about to look for you after I got back," Lan Shuyun said with a wry smile. "But now we've run into them. I don't know if this trip to White Mist Canyon will be a profit or a loss."

"Your enemies?" Shi Feng looked around. These red-named players had decent equipment and levels, especially the level 24 Berserker leading them. These people were all free players, and being able to reach level 24 was considered skilled.

Lan Shuyun gave Shi Feng, who wasn't nervous at all, a speechless look. However, when she saw that the people around Shi Feng didn't seem to take these fifty red-named players seriously, she was even more surprised.

Could it be that these are all *shenhao* (tycoons) who have never encountered players blocking their path, and that's why they are so calm...

Lan Shuyun sighed and patiently explained, "No, they are red-named players who rob passersby. It seems they don't want to let you go either. My suggestion is that we join forces. With 12 people against 50, we still have a chance to escape with some of us."

"So they're robbers. It seems there are quite a few players coming to White Mist Canyon recently." Although Shi Feng had long guessed that such a situation would occur in White Mist Canyon, he didn't expect the war between players to start so quickly.

In his previous life, White Mist Canyon became a battlefield because people discovered the value of Starlight Ore. In order to compete for the Starlight Ore, people fought each other.

The tragic level was nothing compared to now. There wouldn't be fifty free players blocking the road. At least there would be hundreds or thousands of guild players, and there would be no room for free players.

"Fifty people?" Hei Zi looked at the fifty red-named players surrounding them and said excitedly, "Then half of them are mine, and you guys can split the rest. By the way, that level 24 Berserker is not bad, I want him too."

"No, I still want to try out my skills on them," Fire Dance shook her head.

"Brother Hei, you're being unfair. How can you suddenly take half of them? If Sister Fire Dance and Sister Aqua Rose take some, then wouldn't there be nothing left for me?" Flying Shadow complained.

"I don't agree either," Aqua Rose nodded.

During this period, they had been using monsters to practice their skills, but monsters were, after all, monsters, and they were still much weaker than players, especially expert players. But in such a dangerous place like the Starfall Land, how could they dare to compete casually?

Now their chance had come. There were a full 50 players for them to practice on, and these players were all at the elite level.

Shi Feng saw that Fire Dance and the others were talking back and forth without any result, so he stood up and said, "Don't fight over it. Compete with your own strength. You can't blame others if your strength is not as good as theirs."

Lan Shuyun, who was on the side, was filled with contempt when she saw this scene.

What did these people take the surrounding red-named players for?

Little monsters that can be killed anywhere?

What time is it, and they still have the mind to joke around?

As for Lan Shuyun's teammates, they were also sweating profusely, because the gazes of the fifty red-named players around them were becoming more and more icy. Each of them, who had originally had mocking expressions, now had faces full of anger.

Originally, these red-named players would still hold back a little when attacking, after all, no one wanted to die, especially red-named players couldn't afford to die, but now that was impossible...

This was all thanks to Shi Feng and the others for successfully angering these red-named players, but the problem was, how were they going to deal with these desperate red-named players next?

"You guys have some guts, laughing even when death is upon you." Cang Yixiao's face was gloomy, and his eyebrows twitched. Where was the smile now? He had been in White Mist Canyon for so many days, and he had done such things in other cities before, but today was the first time he had encountered players who didn't take them seriously.

"Brothers, take them down!"
