Chapter 221 The Rules of the Game

Of course, the experts from Tyrannical Ambition were also quite aware of the situation in the tenth server. Although they hadn't participated in the chase of Lord Grim, they basically knew the progress of events. Blue River Pavilion's non-participation was a surprise to everyone. It seemed that Blue River Pavilion's desire to suppress Lord Grim should be more urgent than Tyrannical Ambition's.

But no, after Blue River Pavilion was trampled on in the Livelihood Lands dungeon, and their expert Around the Ripple was instantly killed by a Gunner supposedly controlled by Lord Grim, they seemed to have become completely detached.

Were they afraid? Or had Lord Grim made some secret deal in private? Or was there some other conspiracy? No one knew.

However, this time, the beneficiaries of suppressing Lord Grim would be all the guilds in the tenth server that competed for dungeon records. Furthermore, the guilds that participated diligently couldn't prevent other guilds from enjoying the fruits of their labor. For example, Blue River Pavilion, although currently the most miserable, which of these guilds would underestimate their strength? As long as Lord Grim was suppressed, Blue River Pavilion would immediately become a powerful opponent in the dungeon competition again, especially since they hadn't sacrificed anything in the process of suppressing Lord Grim…

From this perspective, Blue River Pavilion's situation was actually quite precarious.

How could the major guilds tolerate Blue River Pavilion benefiting from the situation they had worked so hard to create?

If Blue River Pavilion didn't compete for records in the future, it would be fine, but once they did, this conflict would definitely erupt instantly. The same was true for Blue River Pavilion as for any powerful guild that hadn't participated in suppressing Lord Grim today.

Originally, competing for dungeon records was the freedom of every player.

Originally, how to deal with a competitor was also the freedom of every player.

However, because of interests, many originally simple rules were no longer applicable. Everyone had built their own set of unspoken rules and demanded that others abide by them.

Guilds that didn't participate in eliminating Lord Grim would no longer be qualified to compete for dungeon records. This was an idea in the minds of the seven guilds that participated in this operation. No one said it directly, but they would act according to this rule.

In their opinion, Blue River Pavilion was clearly not abiding by the rules.

At this time, Blue River, leading the team, was not helping either side, clearly demonstrating his attitude.

Of course, the experts from Tyrannical Ambition were very disdainful of this and loudly condemned it. However, this didn't change Blue River's decision, nor did it change their current situation.

Three people quickly became two.

Two people quickly became one.

As the last person was about to fall, Steamed Bun Invasion had also dealt with the Priest. And everyone faintly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps approaching.

"They're here, kill them and run," Ye Xiu said.

The Priest and the Swordsman, the last two to fall from Tyrannical Ambition.

"This way," Ye Xiu immediately directed Lord Grim to lead the way.

The four people hurriedly followed, but after Lord Grim rushed out for a while, he stopped, waited for everyone to gather, turned around and looked around, and suddenly turned to the left fork, "This way, stay close to the edge."

"This is?"

"Avoid the dead person's perspective?" Qiao Yifan's observation was indeed quite good, noticing that the corpse of the Swordsman player was still lying there motionless. He also knew that after a character died, the perspective would rise to a God's-eye view. However, he had no idea how large the field of view was.

"Yes," Ye Xiu responded. Lord Grim led the way, and the other four formed a line behind him.

"Pay attention to the players we meet along the way," Ye Xiu added.

"Oh?"

"Since they've chased us here, in order to determine our location, in addition to blocking the exit of First Line Gorge, they will of course send people to watch the entrances of the various dungeons. Now that our location is exposed, players will be rushing towards us from fifty dungeon entrances. With fifty entrances, it's estimated that there will be one or two people at each entrance, so pay attention to people running towards us." Ye Xiu said.

"So we'll still be exposed!" Su Mucheng said.

"Perhaps!" Ye Xiu said.

"What?"

"Turn this way!" There was another fork ahead, and Ye Xiu led everyone to turn in a direction without hesitation. First Line Gorge wasn't an endless plain; it was like a maze with various gorges and forks of different widths and lengths, sandwiched between steep mountains. It was impossible to climb over the walls. In the initial stages of Glory, First Line Gorge was a map area that players desperately wanted to curse. But now this problem no longer existed. Old players basically knew the way, and new players already had maps created by the pioneers who had died in First Line Gorge.

"You don't want to lead us on a path where we won't bump into anyone, do you?" Su Mucheng had guessed Ye Xiu's idea.

"Of course, I have the map open!"

"Can you be sure they will take the route you predicted? There are fifty dungeon entrances!" Su Mucheng said.

"It's not that complicated," Ye Xiu smiled. "The direction we're going only has five dungeon entrances. With so many road choices, it's not too difficult to avoid five routes. We just need to take a route that's as far away as possible. Come on, this way." Ye Xiu said as he continued to lead the way.

Less than a minute after the fierce battle at the fork, the hundred-man army from the seven major guilds that had been guarding the exit of the gorge finally arrived.

On the way, they encountered Blue River's group from Blue River Pavilion, but no one stopped to say hello. Although the characters in the game didn't have eyes, many of the passing hundred players had "contempt" expression bubbles floating above their heads.

Blue River remained calm, leading Xi Zhou and the others, and brushed past the hundred people who were despising them.

Blood, gunpowder, sword marks…

Some traces of the battle left at the fork due to the fierce battle had not yet been refreshed. Players from four of the seven major guilds were watching these traces and burning with rage.

Samsara, Hundred Blossoms Valley, Void Walker, Tyrannical Ambition…

In just a few minutes, this place had caused each of the four guilds to lose an elite dungeon team. Tyrannical Ambition was even more unlucky. This was already their second team to be wiped out, and it was even a team of experts led by the guild leader himself. They didn't show any expert demeanor and were as vulnerable as an ordinary team, easily wiped out.

"How strong is Lord Grim?" Night Cold pondered while looking at the angry roars in the messages sent by Guild Leader Jiang You.

Since things had reached this point, no one was hiding information. The news that one elite team from each of the four guilds had been wiped out had been made public. The other three guilds expressed their sympathy, but everyone knew that those three were definitely laughing in their hearts.

Chen Yehui was the only one who wasn't surprised by this result, because he knew the other party's strength very well.

Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng, plus three great experts, not to mention a five-man team, even if it was a team of ten, fifteen, or twenty, what could they do? He had once thought about bullying them with numbers, but what happened? At that time, there was no Su Mucheng, and Ye Qiu just led that Battle Mage and Rogue and beat them to a pulp. How much stronger could these elite experts from the guilds be compared to theirs from Team Excellent Dynasty?

It was a pity that the Herb Garden and Royal Wind guilds hadn't been hit. He really hoped they would be severely suppressed. But…

While Chen Yehui was thinking, he scanned the players from these two guilds. He felt that these two were somewhat mixed up in things. Especially Herb Garden, which was one of the three major guilds in the game, but now among the hundred people, Herb Garden had the fewest players, and they were the slowest in every action. Chen Yehui even suspected that these people from Herb Garden had other plans like him.

"Lord Grim and the others went that way." After his mission was completed, the Swordsman's corpse had of course returned to the city to resurrect. The message was relayed to Night Cold, who was pointing out the direction to everyone.

"Was it seen by the corpse again?" Comrade Lonely Drink had experience as a corpse reconnaissance soldier.

"Yes."

"Then it might not be true," Lonely Drink said. Last time in Empty Forest, what Lonely Drink's corpse saw was proven to be wrong.

"So this side should be excluded?"

"This…" Lonely Drink didn't dare to be sure.

So the fork in Three Gorges was in front of them. Although there were corpses left behind, the information they provided had been ignored by everyone.

Divide the troops into three routes? They didn't dare… Although the terrain here was completely different from Empty Forest, the incident of the 32-man wipe still sharply reminded them.

"People coming from the dungeon will see them," someone said.

"Then they won't be there when we get there," another person said.

"Or we can tell the people who encounter them not to expose their identities, secretly follow them, and keep an eye on their whereabouts so we can follow up."

"Looks like that's the only way."

After the three guild leaders and the spokespersons of the four guilds discussed it, they could only decide to do so.

"What if these guys go around and leave First Line Gorge?" someone suddenly thought.

Everyone was immediately shocked.

"Should we go back to the entrance?"

This time, the discussion didn't last long. After the hundred people came to admire the battle ruins, they quickly returned to the entrance of the gorge to guard it, and they began to worry that Lord Grim and the others might have taken advantage of this time to slip away.

"Tell the leveling areas to pay attention to Lord Grim and the others, especially the Livelihood Lands." The orders were passed down.

Waiting, anxiously waiting again.

The hundred players who had rushed from the fifty dungeon entrances gradually gathered at the intersection where the tragedy had occurred.

No, no, no…

The players who rushed from the 50 entrances had no news.

"Damn!" Did they really run away? Someone cursed.

"Perhaps they just dodged it," someone guessed.

Either of these two possibilities was extremely frustrating. The key was that they couldn't be sure, so they had to continue guarding this intersection. And the 100 people who came from the dungeon entrance received orders to wander around First Line Gorge without exposing their identities to look for traces of Lord Grim's five-person team.

The hundred people vomited blood.

How complex is the terrain of First Line Gorge? Old players know it. Looking for people in a maze? Is this a single-player RPG?
