Hu Die Lan

Chapter 386 Shifting the Battlefield

Ye Xiu's instructions were executed by Tang Rou without alteration. Although this method still had many flaws, it was enough to deal with the two opponents in front of them. The knight and elemental mage among the four were tied up by Tang Rou and couldn't escape. They had no power to resist and only wanted to get ashore. As a result, it was as if the water itself was doing damage; every stroke they took in the water caused their health to drop.

The two of them knew, of course, that it was Cold Mist Softening (Han Yan Rou) attacking them continuously, but what could they do? They already had a shadow in their hearts when it came to underwater combat. Seeing Cold Mist Softening's agile and accurate movements in the water, they felt like sinking to the bottom of the water, and they didn't even think about fighting back. The only effort the knight made was to wave his shield around, trying to blindly block a few attacks. However, with Ye Xiu's experienced eyes, it was pure fantasy to try to use formlessness to defeat form. Cold Mist Softening's attacks still bypassed his shield's chaotic defenses and struck him again and again.

"I can't take it anymore..."

Both of them had already taken the best potions, and they couldn't use any more due to the cooldown. Their own healer was already dead, so what hope was left?

"What about those two?" The knight finally ran out of health, and his character floated in the water. He knew that the elemental mage was definitely going to die with him, but it seemed that the two ghost swordsmen had successfully escaped.

The soul's perspective slowly rose, and the knight finally saw that the two ghost swordsmen had already climbed onto the small island, standing on the shore, looking into the water with some bewilderment.

"What are you still doing there? Run!" The knight quickly resurrected and sent a message to the two of them.

The elemental mage was destined to die. With only the two of them left, whether on land or in the water, they were clearly no match for Cold Mist Softening. If they didn't take this opportunity to escape, they would simply be waiting to die.

The knight was now just full of regret. He knew that he should have run away as soon as he came up. This might have sacrificed one person, but at least it would have reduced the number of deaths by two.

"I underestimated my opponent..." The knight cried tears of regret. After reviving in the main city and sending a message to the other two to run quickly, he switched out of the game to report the situation in the QQ discussion group.

Entering the group, he saw that the priest classmate was already inside, crying tears of regret! Guild Leader Matasifeng (Mata Xifeng) had not said anything the whole time. The knight couldn't figure out what the situation was and quietly sent a crying emoji to indicate that he had arrived.

"You're dead too?" the priest asked immediately after seeing him.

The knight dejectedly typed "Yeah," and then he saw the elemental mage's name pop up. He wasn't crying, but used an angry emoji: "I'm dead too."

The discussion group immediately fell silent, and no one responded.

At the same time, Su Mucheng, relying on the initial impressions she had gathered from her observations, chased all the way, but the original target she was looking for had not been found. Instead, she stumbled upon another character by mistake.

The guild's bunch was also very aware of the need to escape, and they all hid their guild names. But what was the use? Each of their characters was among the top 100 in the tenth server's level rankings. Even if they died another ten or eight times, it wouldn't shake their names from being displayed on the homepage. Su Mucheng wouldn't have dared to be sure if she saw such a guy without a guild name, but she opened the level rankings and checked, and in five seconds, she had already confirmed that he was a Royal Wind (Huang Feng) player without a doubt.

Su Mucheng had encountered two guilds in total. The two previously killed were both from Herb Garden (Zhong Cao Tang). At this moment, the Royal Wind player who had escaped far away was still secretly laughing to himself, praising his excellent luck. As a result, if this one had gone straight, nothing would have happened, but he insisted on taking a fancy route, and as a result, he ended up right under Su Mucheng's nose. His luck was indeed outstanding!

Su Mucheng flew with her cannon and fired a shot down. The water surged, and the man turned his gaze back in shock, only to see that Su Mucheng's Wind Comb Misty Flute (Feng Shu Yan Mu) had actually arrived behind him. He originally thought that he was out of danger, but this time his mood went straight from heaven to hell. Even face-planting on the ground was not enough to vent his feelings at this time.

Resistance? He wouldn't even think about that. This player had just done a deep dive, wanting to try if he could dodge the attack. As a result, just as his head plunged into the water and his body was not even fully twisted, another cannon hit him, and the water directly sent him flying into the air. He was so conspicuous and stylish on the calm lake surface.

After that, he never sank again, bouncing on the surface of the water like a stone thrown when skipping stones. By the time he came to a standstill, his life had been reduced to zero.

"I caught one. It seems there won't be any more," Su Mucheng said, sending a message in the team chat, while also looking around in a mess, seeing if she could run into another one by luck.

"I knew I should have teamed up with you." Ye Xiu, who was guarding the dungeon entrance, hadn't seen a single person. At this time, he had already given up and was also running around randomly in the lake to see if he could bump into any of the guilds.

"I killed four and am chasing after the fifth. Maybe I can still catch up," Tang Rou also said. Of course, Ye Xiu knew her situation very well, and he only said it to exchange information with the other members of the team.

"Which direction? Do you need me to intercept?" Su Mucheng asked.

"No need, I might run into him." Ye Xiu's random wandering also had a direction: it was towards the direction in which the ghost swordsman had run.

At that time, the two ghost swordsmen had escaped in different directions. In the end, Tang Rou could only stop one, while the other, like Su Mucheng, only remembered the direction in which he had escaped. After dealing with the one on her side, she saw that he had long disappeared, so she could only chase in that direction.

Ye Xiu saw it and, since he had nothing to do on his side, naturally swam out to intercept him.

And so, at this time, the three were busy, while Qian Cheng and Ma Houpao (Ma Hopao) were squatting on the small island, drawing circles in loneliness.

Ye Xiu didn't forget about the two of them, sending a message in the team chat: "There shouldn't be any teams still in the dungeon now. Qian Cheng, Ma Houpao, you two retreat as well. Go to the City of Sin. If you encounter people from the guild along the way, act according to the circumstances."

"City of Sin?" The two subconsciously wondered for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

"Of course, it's the City of Sin," Ye Xiu repeated with a smile.

Although the level of the City of Sin was one tier lower than that of Thousand Wave Lake, the experience gained from clearing the City of Sin dungeon was much greater than that gained from grinding monsters in the wild maps of Thousand Wave Lake. Therefore, no matter what level they were at, players would clear two dungeons every day for leveling up. One was a dungeon of a suitable level, and the other was one tier lower. Some would even clear three, including one that was two tiers lower. After all, in addition to the abundant experience, the drop rate of good items in dungeons was much higher than in the wild maps.

"Hurry to the City of Sin! Maybe we can intercept them directly," Su Mucheng said.

"Well, everyone head towards the shore! But don't miss any situations you discover along the way. Anyway, it's just these people," Ye Xiu said.

The five people were in different positions, but at this time they were each heading in a different direction.

Thousand Wave Lake was so big, and there were less than a hundred people active in it, so creating an accidental encounter was indeed not easy. The five of them didn't encounter any guild characters until they had all climbed ashore. They scanned the shore again, but there was still no sign of anything. So they headed straight for the City of Sin.

The City of Sin at this time was not as deserted as Thousand Wave Lake. Under normal circumstances, the highest-level players should be mixing around here. There were so many players in a server, and there were naturally many people who stayed at the same level, so at this time, players above level 37 could be seen everywhere in the City of Sin.

"There are more people here, which is a bit annoying!" The five arrived at the entrance to the prison dungeon in the City of Sin. Looking inside, there were indeed quite a few dungeon teams. Many characters had the guild titles above their heads of the guilds that the five of them were currently facing. Seeing this, Qian Cheng immediately shouted, "Oh no, there are so many people from the guilds. We're exposed now!"

Qian Cheng, who came from a background of sneakily stealing monsters, was the most sensitive to being exposed.

"Don't panic." Ye Xiu was calm. "It doesn't matter if we're exposed."

"Can we still kill them like this?" Qian Cheng said.

"Even if we can't kill them, at least let them know," Ye Xiu said.

At this time, many people from the guilds at the entrance to the City of Sin dungeon did indeed notice the group of Lord Grim (Jun Mo Xiao) and immediately reported it to the guild. These people had only received instructions from the guild leaders to pay attention to the movements of Lord Grim and his group, and to send a message if they found anything. They didn't say what to do. After all, suppressing Ye Xiu and his group was not a glorious thing. The club guilds cared about their image, so they would hide it a bit, even from the new players they had recruited in the new server, who didn't have very strong loyalty yet.

At this time, the major guilds basically received the news of Lord Grim and his group appearing in the City of Sin dungeon at the same time, and their reactions varied.

"Damn it! What are these guys trying to do, what are they trying to do?" Yan Yushoulou (Yan Yu Suo Lou) on the Misty Rain (Yan Yu) side was very indignant. They had suffered a big loss in Thousand Wave Lake and chose to back down. Retreating couldn't mean standing still and wasting time, so they naturally went to the next tier of leveling area and came to the City of Sin to grind dungeons first. Who knew that they hadn't been stable for long before the other party actually chased after them again. This was too unreasonable.

"Have you offended Ye Qiu somewhere?" Yan Yushoulou privately messaged Yan Yu Cang Cang, and he had suspected it to this point.

"No... No..." Yan Yu Cang Cang said. He didn't know that Lord Grim was Ye Qiu when he was dealing with him, and although there was a slight argument over the dungeon strategy, Yan Yu Cang Cang felt that it was not enough to offend him at all.

"Then why are they staring at our family all the time?" Yan Yushoulou said.

"Maybe it's a coincidence?" Yan Yu Cang Cang said.

"How can there be such a coincidence!" Yan Yushoulou's disbelief was ultimately rooted in his excessive self-confidence.

"What do we do now?" Yan Yu Cang Cang asked. After this message was sent up, the five brothers who were struggling in the dungeon also received it. It was said that one person was so nervous that they almost suffered a team wipe in this small dungeon. At this time, after extinguishing a bunch of monsters, the five stopped advancing and ran to the discussion group to ask how to arrange things. Yan Yu Cang Cang didn't want to say in public that he didn't have an idea yet, so he took advantage of the convenience and discussed it with the guild leader in a private chat.

"Notify the dungeon team in the City of Sin, don't enter the dungeon yet. I'll contact the other guilds." The person who can become the supervisor of the club guild, of course, can't be a brainless idiot. At this time, Yan Yushoulou finally had to take some action.
