Hu Die Lan
Chapter 216 I Wouldn't Say Even If You Beat Me to Death
"Release date?" Several people asked from behind as their characters followed Lord Grim.
"That's right, if we start the dungeon at 12 o'clock, we should have finished three runs by now. It's time to leave," Ye Xiu said.
"But we..."
"We'll send them off," Ye Xiu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan basically understood Ye Xiu's intention. Although both of them were professional players who had been away from the online game scene for many years, how could any professional player enter the professional scene if they hadn't first come into contact with Glory online, and fallen in love with the game? Therefore, they were also quite clear about the many tricks in the online game world.
As for Steamed Bun Invasion, although he had gaming experience, he was rather clueless, and obviously couldn't think of so much. At this time, he continued to ask suspiciously, "Send who?"
"People who aren't very polite to us," Ye Xiu said.
"Then we still have to send them off?" Steamed Bun Invasion was unconvinced. Tang Rou, however, immediately understood. Ye Xiu had previously analyzed the situation: although the other side had sent out all their manpower to chase them down, they would always leave behind an elite team to continue leveling. Wasn't it obvious who Ye Xiu was targeting when he spoke of finishing three dungeons?
"But... do you know who to deal with?" Su Mucheng asked.
"I've inquired," Ye Xiu said.
"Inquired?"
"That's right, my friend list has many guild leaders," Ye Xiu said.
The guild players who were pursuing them didn't reveal their guild names, showing that they also hoped to cover it up a bit. However, this thought was ultimately naive. Although Ye Xiu didn't have a background in the game, he was currently being courted by the major guilds, and his friend list had almost all of the major guild leaders. So, during the battle, he memorized some players' names and sent a simple and crude message to these guild leaders, asking about the guild background of each player on the list.
Ye Xiu was clearly very aware of the competitive relationship between the guilds. Even if they were cooperating now, it was only temporary. Perhaps there would be a lot of mutual exploitation and suppression in the process of cooperation. For example, in Empty Valley Forest, four players were deliberately used as pawns to lure Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian. Ye Xiu strongly suspected that they had been set up.
With such limited trust, even if some guilds didn't intend to betray the other party, they couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't sell them out if they saw their own guild's player IDs listed. In that case, they might as well sell out others. They wouldn't gain any advantage, but they definitely couldn't suffer alone.
There could be many reasons for their mindset. In short, Ye Xiu believed that he could get what he needed through this move. As he expected, the guilds showed great enthusiasm and actively participated in replying. However, the answers were slightly different, and it could be seen that some guilds were intentionally covering up for their own people. Unfortunately, the minority was subject to the majority, and these wrong answers were easily eliminated by Ye Xiu.
Seven guilds.
The list provided by Ye Xiu showed a total of seven guilds. He wasn't sure if this was all of them, but at least they had a lot of targets.
"Where are we now?" Lord Grim stopped, and after the four characters surrounded him, Su Mucheng asked on behalf of everyone.
"There is only one unique entrance and exit in First Line Canyon. It would be best to guard there. But I think that at this time, their main pursuers are probably already guarding that place. We have to settle for second best," Ye Xiu said.
"Where is here?"
"There are 50 dungeon entrances in First Line Canyon. If you leave First Line Canyon from these 50 entrances, 32 of them will pass through here, and 6 of them might pass through. This is already the most probable intersection," Ye Xiu said.
"You know so much!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Well, I just Baidu'd the map of First Line Canyon," Ye Xiu said.
"..."
"A team is coming," Tang Rou suddenly called out. Hearing that it was a PK, and that it might be a large-scale one, this girl was already extraordinarily energetic.
"Smoke Rain House... no," Ye Xiu said.
The five of them weren't exposed at this time, crouching in a sand pit past the corner, secretly watching the players passing by this intersection.
"Another team is coming, Samsara Guild, right?" A team of five players from Smoke Rain House hadn't finished leaving, and another team of five followed behind. Tang Rou immediately asked.
"Go!" Ye Xiu gave an order, and the five of them jumped out of the sand pit. The Samsara Guild players were just rushing on their way and didn't pay attention to their surroundings. How could they know that five people were ambushing them from the side?
"Only five people, is it necessary to ambush?" Tang Rou discovered that the other five people were just walking past stupidly, completely unaware that these five were approaching with ill intentions.
"You can speak louder so they can hear you," Ye Xiu said.
Tang Rou didn't do so after all. This girl had principles, and speaking loudly wasn't her style.
Ye Xiu was the fastest to act. He tapped the keyboard and used Shadow Clone Technique again. Lord Grim's real body flashed behind the five people. The five people still didn't know anything. Lord Grim shook his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella into a scythe shape, a weapon type belonging to the Priest class. Then he waved it, and a circle of blue light appeared on the ground. The five people who were running only then realized that something was wrong. When they looked back in surprise, the blue light had already risen, and Ascension Formation swept the five people up into the air together.
Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist immediately raised her hand cannon. Cannonballs and machine guns rained down, and the five people who were floating in the air couldn't be stable either, being hit and swaying from side to side. Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had already rushed forward, and he swung his katana, Evil Ghost, releasing an Ice Boundary. When the five players fell, two of them were directly frozen into ice, saving them the trouble of performing a fall recovery.
Tang Rou's Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion also charged up from the left and right. Tang Rou continued to use her battle lance to get headshots. In comparison, Steamed Bun Invasion seemed a bit cowardly, going to bully the ice blocks.
The three players' control was also not bad, and they all successfully performed fall recovery, not falling directly to the ground. However, after getting up to fight, the three of them couldn't withstand Tang Rou's attack alone.
Soft Mist's Red Moon Lance transformed into streaks of red light like a swimming dragon. Even ordinary players could see that the operator's hand speed was extraordinary. In addition, there was Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, an even more terrifying guy, on the side. The three of them were really, really insignificant. When the two ice blocks had just come out of the frozen state, one of them had already fallen.
Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Qiao Yifan. These people were all professional quality, and they knew how to cherish opportunities very well.
The two who came out of the ice blocks weren't much better off. One was directly locked by Steamed Bun Invasion with a throat grab, and then immediately caught by the professional players who were very professional-minded, who seized the opportunity of reduced defense under the throat grab and beat him up, becoming the second person to die on the field. The other ice block guy was now trying to slip away, but after running out three steps, he was stabbed in the head by Soft Mist's Red Moon Lance. He was immediately picked up like a soul-calling banner, and when he was thrown down, he was like a mop, directly tripping his other two brothers.
Everything happened extremely quickly.
When the five Smoke Rain House players in front turned around to look at the movement behind them, they didn't see a PK, but a massacre. The five elite experts of the dignified Samsara Guild didn't even show the kind of unyielding spirit of the NPC monsters, and were beaten to a pulp. The hearts of the five Smoke Rain House players were tugged, and they could only count them as they fell one by one.
"Lord Grim..." one person said quietly.
"Where did he run out from..." one person wondered.
"Let's go quickly." The third person reminded his brothers not to watch the excitement. Their level was at most on par with Samsara Guild. At this time, the situation was clearly very dangerous, so it was better to retreat quickly.
While running wildly, the few people turned back their vision from time to time to observe. The five players of Samsara Guild quickly all became corpses, but Lord Grim and the five of them didn't seem to have any intention of chasing after them at all. The five all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not targeting us!" one person said. Seeing that it didn't seem to have anything to do with them, the five people had the thought of watching the fun again. Moreover, seeing Lord Grim and the others attacking other guilds, the five even felt a little itchy and impulsive...
"What???"
When Lonely Drink received the message, the five people had already died and returned to Empty Accumulation City. The battle started quickly and ended even more quickly. During the battle, no one was able to send out a cry for help. They could only directly convey the bad news to the guild leader after death.
"Damn!" Lonely Drink couldn't help but curse. The characters he led, and even his own character, could be sacrificed. These were already prepared to be taken out to spend time and wear down Lord Grim, and their levels would definitely be delayed. But the five people who had just been killed were different. These were accounts and characters that would be used to attack various dungeons and seize various first kills in the future. As a result, they were killed by Lord Grim in a team wipe, lagging behind the other guilds by 10% of experience. How could Lonely Drink not feel heartache and anxiety?
"What's wrong?" This angry curse attracted the attention of the people around him.
"Oh... burned by a cigarette butt," Lonely Drink said.
Damn it, we can't be the only ones in Samsara to suffer this loss! This was Lonely Drink's inner voice, exactly the same as Night Fragrance's before. He firmly hoped that Lord Grim's team could treat every guild fairly and justly, and couldn't let only one guild suffer so much! So he would never say anything about being attacked.
In First Line Canyon, Ye Xiu and his party had already run into the second team.
"Hundred Blossom Valley, go!" Ye Xiu said. This time there was no sneak attack. When Ye Xiu and the others finished killing the five Samsara players, they turned around and directly bumped into this team.
"That team over there, Shattered Void! They're also one of them." Another team came over, one after the other with Hundred Blossom Valley. Ye Xiu saw that they were also one of the seven guilds chasing them.
"Two teams! This is a bit interesting." Tang Rou was overjoyed, as if afraid that the toy she had in hand would run away, and immediately rushed up to fight.
"Pay attention to crowd control, don't let any of them run away!" Ye Xiu shouted.
"Don't worry, boss, leave it to me." Steamed Bun Invasion floated forward and threw a handful of sand in their faces. The five people raised their heads to avoid it.
"Steamed Bun Invasion!" Steamed Bun Invasion directly used his name as a slogan and invaded the enemy's formation.
"Steamed Bun, you're really lively," Ye Xiu praised.
"Hahahaha..." Steamed Bun Invasion's presumptuous laughter echoed in the canyon.
