Chapter 152 Is There Any Meaning?

Even with the pressure increased several times, the seven guilds were still persisting. They felt that Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition were already helping Lord Grim discover their whereabouts. So in terms of the situation, nothing had changed. It was just that their behavior of actively seeking trouble with others was a bit of a mistake. In the final analysis, their aquatic combat ability was too poor, which prevented them from quickly and efficiently killing the discovered targets, repeatedly allowing the other party to delay and dawdle until Lord Grim arrived to save the day.

The guild leaders of the seven guilds were all men who could bend and stretch. Seeing that this approach was very unfavorable, they despised Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition while decisively changing their strategy, continuing their previous avoidance tactic and no longer actively attacking.

This back and forth was only troubling them. As far as Ye Xiu was concerned, he was completely indifferent, continuing their cycle of leveling up, circling around, and inquiring about the situation, killing decisively when they encountered someone. Later in the evening, Su Mucheng also came online again, so there was another overwhelmingly excellent killer, and the seven guilds faced even greater pressure.

As time passed, Ye Xiu and the others remained comfortable. The players of Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition were also running around the map, excitedly. Facing the same club guilds, such an overwhelming advantage that made the opponents run away at the sight of them, not daring to fight, had not happened for a very long time. Everyone deeply experienced how comfortable it was to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

Time finally moved towards midnight again, and it was time for the daily dungeon runs. The players of the seven guilds had been mentally tense all day. This dungeon time, which should have been even more focused, actually felt like a break to them. In the dungeon, they finally didn't have to worry about sudden attacks that could pop up at any time.

"Let's run the dungeon! Let's run the dungeon!" The elite experts of each guild were actively calling out.

"Finally, we can rest..." The vice-leaders of the seven guilds were muttering to themselves. Of course, they themselves were all members of this elite team, and they had survived this whole day along with the others.

"Let's form two four-man teams!" Some guilds issued instructions in a more humane way. Their PVE skills were all fine, and four-man teams could still clear the dungeon, but there was no hope of breaking the dungeon record. And in their current state, entering the dungeon was like going on vacation. No one had the energy to try to break any dungeon records.

The vice-leaders of the seven guilds never expected that their humanized arrangement would bring another fierce blow to their guilds. The first team that came out after running the dungeon was ambushed. Facing top experts like Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, they didn't even have the chance to re-enter the dungeon and win safety. Both teams were completely wiped out by these two. At other dungeon entrances, Tang Rou, Cheng Qian, Blue Brook Guild, and Tyrannical Ambition members were ambushing, relying on their numerical advantage to wipe out two more teams.

One dungeon run resulted in the annihilation of four teams from four guilds, immediately triggering the frenzy of the four guilds. Then they quickly realized that since the other party had such a trick up their sleeve, they might have mastered more than just these four dungeon entrances. It was just because of manpower that they focused on these four places. In terms of numbers, the other party had a total of nearly 20 people. Theoretically, it was possible for them to directly grasp the movements of 20 teams.

Realizing this, the four guilds that had been wiped out quickly notified their other teams, taking advantage of the fact that the other party's arrangement was still a vacuum, to leave and quickly transfer to another dungeon entrance.

In addition, the three guilds whose teams were safe and sound were a little late in getting this information. Their people had already entered the dungeon for the second time, and they were immediately filled with despair. It was too late to transfer at this point. Exiting the dungeon forcibly would waste a chance, and it would be directly counted as a death, which was definitely not cost-effective. But if they killed their way to the end and came out, they would still be ambushed and suffer losses. At this point, the safest way to avoid it was to log off in the dungeon. But the area around the dungeon was a leveling area. Who knew if the other party would be leveling around there all night? Continuing to not log on and not level up would actually be a greater loss.

Helplessly, these guilds could only take a risk, clear the dungeon first, and then gamble on whether their team's whereabouts had been exposed.

So, the second time they came out of the dungeon, the teams that didn't encounter opponents cheered for their luck, and the teams that encountered opponents had no choice but to surrender. This time, two teams were caught after leaving the dungeon and were all wiped out.

When the seven guilds saw this, they realized that the other party had indeed collected their intelligence first, and then came to clean them up one by one. They quickly continued to shoot and change locations, and the teams that came out adjusted and transferred.

Everything that could be done had been done, but both times they had suffered heavy losses, and each team was uneasy. For them, the dungeon was very simple, but some people were so nervous that they made serious mistakes, directly wiping out a team. It was a pity that Ye Xiu couldn't know about this situation, otherwise it would have been convenient for him to draw a few more "xx" on his notepad without even having to take action.

The last dungeon run ended with some people happy and some people sad. There were still teams whose whereabouts were being watched, and the ending was naturally the inevitable annihilation. The killings this day reached a climax during the dungeon time in the evening, which was supposed to be a time to relax. Everyone in the seven guilds was vomiting blood until their faces turned pale.

The experience loss from dying once would take several hours to make up for. The leveling speed of the seven guilds had obviously been slowed down, and the ranking of the top 100 characters on the level leaderboard had changed greatly. Although the killings of these characters had a lot of luck involved, it could still be seen from the overall perspective that the elite characters of the seven guilds were steadily declining on the leaderboard.

Amidst the high tide of killings, the three records of the Qianaar Lake dungeon were finally used up. But the guilds had already lost their composure, and everyone was a bit confused about what to do next. After experiencing this round of attacks, everyone's morale had dropped to the extreme. Even those who were lucky enough not to be killed during this high tide didn't feel any sense of celebration in their hearts.

At this moment, the elite characters were divided into two groups. One group had just returned to the main city after being killed for the third time in the dungeon. They were listless and too lazy to go out again. The other group was safe and sound, drifting around Qianaar Lake like wandering ghosts, all with a careless attitude.

At this moment, the guild leaders of the seven guilds were too embarrassed to say things like "persist, persist," which didn't hurt their backs while standing. Because did persistence really make a big difference this day? Everyone was very careful and cautious in their defense, but they were still killed repeatedly. And as for tactics like ambushes in dungeons, even if they were anticipated, they were really hard to guard against.

Just when everyone was feeling confused, the tenth district vice-leaders of the seven guilds uniformly received a message from Lord Grim: "Still want to persist? Is there any meaning?"

Yes! Is there any meaning?

The seven vice-leaders who received this message didn't rush to get angry, but instead asked themselves this question. After a moment of silent thought, the seven of them actually agreed that this persistence really didn't make any sense.

The initial goal of these guilds' actions was to kill Qian Cheng, so that Happy Guild couldn't form a dungeon team that could threaten them. But what was the result? They couldn't kill Qian Cheng, and now they were being counterattacked by Happy's god, living in fear every day. Now their goal was just to survive in Qianaar Lake and reduce losses. And Happy Guild was constantly attacking them, and their dungeon team would be unaffected in five days because Qian Cheng and Ma Houpao joined the guild.

What were these guilds busy with? If they did nothing, they could be leveling up peacefully. As a result, they had to create trouble for themselves and turn a good leveling area into a dangerous place.

Now that their leveling efficiency was slowed down, and they didn't have any ability to snipe Happy from forming a dungeon team, all their efforts were no longer to gain any benefits, but to avoid losses. And they obviously couldn't completely avoid these losses. Over this day, the burden was shared among the guilds, and some were lucky and some were unlucky. Maybe some families died very violently, and some families could secretly smile. But these days wouldn't end in just one day, or even necessarily five days. These days would continue until their level advancement removed them from Qianaar Lake as a leveling area.

This choice was not impossible for them to make. They could retreat to the lower-level Sin City, or to the next leveling area, Boulder Hills, which was higher level than Qianaar Lake. However, since these veterans chose to level up in Qianaar Lake, it was naturally because leveling up in this leveling area was the most efficient. Such a retreat was a loss in itself.

Now, there were three paths in front of them.

First, choose to retreat in the leveling area, going to leveling areas that were less or more efficient than Qianaar Lake, causing the characters to level up more slowly.

Second, negotiate with Lord Grim, or exchange materials for peace as before, thus losing materials, but guaranteeing other things.

Third, maintain the status quo, continue to bear the pressure, bear the risks, and continue to level up in Qianaar Lake while hiding from Lord Grim and his party. And the consequences of this choice were completely unpredictable now. This choice was a gamble on luck. If they were to judge based on Misty Rain Guild, they had lost everything this day. But if they were to judge based on Royal Wind Guild, this day was quite economical compared to the first and second choices.

What to do, the bosses of the seven guilds had to struggle again.
