Chapter 1 Going for That Dirt Mound!

"Go for that dirt mound over there!!" Qian Cheng heard what sounded like Lord Grim shouting, and he was just thinking of seeing which dirt mound they were planning to run towards when he saw three out of the four people rushing towards him at lightning speed.

Why three? Because Ye Xiu had blasted them away with Falling Flower Palm, and they needed to perform a Flip Recovery upon landing to avoid falling to the ground. Tang Rou and Steamed Bun were skilled, but Tian Qi and Midnight Dream weren't so confident, and ultimately Tian Qi failed, falling flat on his face. Of course, getting up was slower than the other three.

"Hey! There's someone here, looks like he's taking a dump!" The three of them ran over and saw Qian Cheng crouching behind the dirt mound in a very sneaky manner, and Steamed Bun immediately shouted.

"Damn!" Qian Cheng was very unhappy with that description. He was lying in ambush, how could it be like taking a dump! But even more cruel things were waiting for him, as he heard Lord Grim say without hesitation, "Kill him!"

"Damn, damn, damn!" Qian Cheng cursed and rolled backwards. A flash of crimson light streaked past his eyes. The one who attacked the fastest and fiercest was actually that female Battle Mage. Qian Cheng recognized the crimson battle lance as the Level 30 Purple weapon, Crimson Moon. He had almost been impaled by it.

Missing with one lance, Soft Mist stepped forward to pursue. Qian Cheng had some skill after all. He flipped over and used a Sky Strike to retaliate. Soft Mist dodged to the side, and then began a familiar multiple-on-one combo. Steamed Bun snuck behind Qian Cheng like a ghost and slammed a brick down.

At this moment, Lord Grim, who had escaped a step later using Aerial Fire, finally arrived. He glanced at Qian Cheng and recognized his ID, quickly stopping Steamed Bun, "Wait, he's not with them."

"You know who they are?" Qian Cheng heard that Lord Grim seemed to know the other party's background and quickly inquired.

"I roughly know," Ye Xiu said.

"Who is it?" Qian Cheng asked.

"Let's run first, can you stop gossiping?" Lord Grim took the lead and ran, and the four people followed closely behind. Qian Cheng had no choice but to follow. Among the twenty-four people chasing from behind, the ranged Gunners kept shooting. Qian Cheng ran in a crazy s-shape to prevent them from accurately shooting him, and he quickly caught up with the five people, only to hear Lord Grim actually giving the four of them a lesson.

"There are three types of movement: walking, jogging, and sprinting. Sprinting is the fastest but consumes stamina. Walking is the slowest, but it can briefly recover stamina; jogging is neither fast nor slow, and stamina is neither consumed nor recovered. Directly using sprinting can, of course, achieve the greatest burst of speed in a short period of time, but after using up your stamina and then using jogging, you will definitely not be able to escape if you encounter an experienced opponent. Look, like this Qian Cheng, he seems to be surpassing us now by sprinting, but this is only temporary. Everyone follow my rhythm and pay attention to changing between the three movement methods. He will be left behind by us in one and a half minutes."

"Damn!" Being used as a negative example, Qian Cheng stopped depressedly. He was just about to say a few words when the five people "clang clang clang" ran past him. That guy named Steamed Bun was even asking, "He suddenly stopped, what kind of operation is this?"

"An operation to be cannon fodder," Lord Grim said.

*Bang!*

A cannonball exploded next to Qian Cheng. He was distracted for a moment and was blown head over heels. Fortunately, he performed a Flip Recovery in time to avoid falling to the ground. After rolling up, he quickly ran again and soon caught up with the five people.

"He's catching up again," Steamed Bun said.

"This method is even worse. He didn't run far enough and is always being hit," Ye Xiu said.

Qian Cheng was so angry that he vomited blood, but upon closer inspection of the five people, under Lord Grim's constant reminders, they were constantly switching between the three movement methods, without a fixed rhythm. Sometimes, a single movement method would only take two or three steps. Qian Cheng couldn't help but follow the five people and learn from them, but that talkative Steamed Bun was speaking again, "He seems to be learning from us?"

"It's too late. His starting durability is different from ours. He will definitely run out of durability before us and ultimately become cannon fodder," Ye Xiu said.

"Poor stamina is no good," Steamed Bun said sympathetically.

Qian Cheng gritted his teeth. He didn't have the habit of asking for help. Although he was imitating Lord Grim's five-person movement method, he felt that it was mainly靠 (kao, relying) on his own self-reliance. But that Lord Grim said that he would run out of durability first…

Qian Cheng looked at his own durability. It was indeed almost exhausted, and although the twenty-four people behind him had not caught up in a few steps, the distance was obviously shrinking.

"Hey, can we really escape?" Qian Cheng asked.

"The distance is shrinking, right? Temporary," Ye Xiu replied.

Sure enough, after a chaotic sprint chase, the other party failed to catch up with the group. After exhausting their durability and only being able to jog, the distance between the two sides began to gradually widen.

"It's really getting farther!!" Steamed Bun said happily.

"It's getting farther, right? Then we don't need to run anymore," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Why?"

"Because through this test, we can know that the other party's level is limited. We might as well try to fight," Ye Xiu said.

"We only have five people," Tian Qi reminded.

"Six people, right? Qian Cheng is also a person!" Ye Xiu said.

"This is just the internet. On the internet, you don't know if the guy on the other end is a person or a dog," Steamed Bun said with incomparable seriousness.

"He spoke human words," Ye Xiu said helplessly.

Qian Cheng was extremely depressed, but at this moment, Lord Grim had also stopped and turned around.

"Look, among their twenty-four people, there is only one person who is slightly more skilled, and that is the Battle Mage," Ye Xiu said, manipulating Lord Grim to not retreat but instead meet them head-on, and said loudly, "Chen Yehui, is that you."

The 24 people also stopped. The valley was quiet.

Being called out by name, Chen Yehui was very depressed. From the beginning, his plan had been very unsuccessful.

Liu Hao had to take care of the team's performance and could no longer spare the time to entangle with Ye Qiu in the game, so he handed this task over to him, letting him hinder Ye Qiu's development.

But what means could he use to fight against Ye Qiu? He wouldn't think of competing in dungeons without the help of professional players. After thinking it over, he finally thought of his greatest advantage, which was numbers.

This time, Excellent Dynasty was personally led by him, the guild leader, to develop the new server, and his ambition was not small. Compared to other guilds, they had invested the most manpower in the tenth server.

Originally, Excellent Dynasty planned to compete fiercely with the major guilds in the new server and restore its former glory. Who would have thought that the appearance of this Lord Grim would stir up the tenth server into a complete mess. Currently, the content of the competition between the major guilds seems to have become only one item, and that is who can get Lord Grim's help.

Chen Yehui was miserable! He already knew who Lord Grim was and didn't dare to expect that he would come to help their Excellent Era. He was also a fairly official member of the club, and he knew a lot about the reasons why Ye Qiu was retired. At this time, it would be considered polite if Ye Qiu didn't deliberately come to find trouble with their Excellent Dynasty.

Chen Yehui couldn't possibly fight for Lord Grim. He had been carefully preparing to deal with Lord Grim. Originally, he didn't have many available empty accounts left in his hands, so he specially trained this batch. With great difficulty, he reached the same level as Lord Grim at level 30, and Chen Yehui immediately dispatched them without hesitation. He wanted to take advantage of this time to give Ye Qiu a blow, otherwise, if this guy really joined some guild, then his advantage in numbers would no longer exist.

It was a pity that the carefully prepared plan, which he thought was an impeccable encirclement plan, and the various response plans he had envisioned, none of them were used. Lord Grim simply left the team and then took the initiative to attack the four people, sending them out of the encirclement, which was completely beyond his expectations. Chen Yehui's encirclement plan, which had been prepared for a long time, was declared broken in one second.

Chen Yehui couldn't possibly be willing to give up. The encirclement was broken, but their numerical advantage remained, so they naturally had to pursue.

As a result, the group of people who were running all the way and were about to escape suddenly stopped and fearlessly stood in front of them.

"Your movement is too poor, Chen Yehui," Ye Xiu continued, "I already know your strength completely."

Chen Yehui was stunned. Only then did he realize that leading them to chase was actually a test. That kind of movement method that controls the rhythm belonged to the high-end content of professional players. Not many ordinary players could do it well. As soon as Ye Xiu tested it, he immediately knew that there were no professional-level guys like Liu Hao in the opposing lineup. Then, just having a lot of people was not a scary thing.

"What do you want to do?" Qian Cheng asked at this time.

"Wipe them out," Ye Xiu said quietly.

"Are you crazy?"

"Do you want to participate?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Are you... serious."

"Otherwise, why wouldn't we run," Ye Xiu said.

"We only have six people!"

"Numbers are not the key. In team battles, cooperation is the most important," Ye Xiu said.

"Okay! I'll see how capable you are." Qian Cheng stood up heroically with his lance.

"Get ready!" Ye Xiu shouted.

"Yes!"

"Okay!"

"Charge!" Qian Cheng was also shouting, but Steamed Bun and Soft Mist rushed out from behind, accompanying Lord Grim on the left and right. The three of them had already charged out. No one sought his cooperation at all.

"What's wrong?" Qian Cheng was at a loss, but Tian Qi and Midnight Dream had already walked over.

"Focus on being a bystander, brother!" Tian Qi said.

In the space of a sentence, a chaotic battle had already broken out in the front lines. Lord Grim, Soft Mist, and Steamed Bun stood back-to-back in a triangle, directly plunging into the enemy's formation and facing enemies from all sides. It seemed that they had been overwhelmed by the crowd. But after a moment, the one who fell first in a burst of blood was not any of the three, but their opponents.

"Having a lot of people is indeed an advantage, but at least you have to reach a sufficient number!" Ye Xiu said. Lord Grim suddenly broke away from the three-person triangle formation and soared into the air, smashing down with a Collapsing Mountain Strike towards the manpower that Chen Yehui had mobilized to launch a strong charge here.

Chen Yehui's idea was very simple. He didn't need to care about the life or death of other people. If he could eliminate Lord Grim, it would be a kind of victory!
