Chapter 1 The Yan Yu Tower Retreats

"The people from Yan Yu Tower probably won't be coming for a while…"

Ye Xiu received a report from a guild player running errands in Kongji City. After the Yan Yu Tower's five-person dungeon team came out of the resurrection point this time, they had no intention of leaving the city. Two went to the trading street to stroll around, two went to the arena, and one was currently standing in place, spacing out.

"Hahaha, they're sensible. They finally know to be afraid," Baozi Invasion said triumphantly.

"Baozi, you and Mo Guang go level up first. Leave Qianbo Lake to us," Ye Xiu said. Baozi Invasion and Mo Guang's levels exceeded the Qianbo Lake monsters' levels by more than five levels. So even if the two had the ability to fight monsters above their level, experience gained was at its minimum after exceeding the 5-level range. There was absolutely no leveling to be had for them here.

"Boss, can you guys do it without us?" Baozi Invasion asked seriously.

"We'll manage. If not, we'll call you," Ye Xiu said.

"No problem, I'm always on call." Baozi Invasion sent a valiant emoji, turned his character around, and looked at Mo Guang. "Let's go, little bro, say goodbye to everyone."

"Get lost!" Mo Guang said, depressed. Baozi Invasion was not only treating him like a little brother, but was practically treating him like a child.

The two went to their appropriate leveling spots. Ye Xiu and the other three, whose levels were just right, naturally returned to Qianbo Lake. At this time, the guilds were no longer launching joint attacks. With just a five-person team, not to mention four, Ye Xiu alone had no problem fighting them. In the end, they still moved as a group, just adhering to Ye Xiu's consistent fighting spirit: if you're going to kill, kill them all.

Qianbo Lake was still calm, with no one in sight on the lake or along the shore. Ye Xiu looked at the time: 1:17 AM. Assuming all the guilds' dungeon teams started running dungeons punctually at 0:00, they definitely couldn't have finished all three runs by now. However, these guilds who had cooperated together during the Christmas event had each sent five people at the time. That meant that at this time, no matter how they rotated, there would always be three people taking a break.

It was absolutely impossible for three people to run the Qianbo Lake dungeon for new players. But Ye Xiu estimated that these veterans from the Heavenly Domain could barely manage it. It was impossible for the major guilds to divide their eight people into two four-person teams to equalize efficiency, because they also wanted to make a run for the dungeon record. A five-person elite team was a must. So, the three extra people could only work a little harder, or perhaps these people would find players from other guilds to assemble a team?

Ye Xiu speculated in his heart, unable to make a definite judgment.

In fact, Yan Yu Lock's idea was not wrong. Qianbo Lake was too big, and the number of people Ye Xiu and his group could move around was very small. To really achieve a complete clearing, making it impossible for other players to gain a foothold here, was absolutely impossible with just Ye Xiu and his few people. They could only continue to maintain this kind of chase to put pressure on the other side, so that the other side would feel threatened and retreat on their own. For example, Yan Yu Tower was a successful case of giving up because they dared not take the risk anymore.

"What do we do next?" Seeing that they couldn't find opponents here at Qianbo Lake, Tang Rou asked in the game.

"One against five, do you have a problem with that?" Ye Xiu asked.

"In the water?"

"On land."

"I can try. But, if they want to run, there's no way," Tang Rou said.

"Of course, there's no way to stop them if five people run in different directions, but at least we can kill one," Ye Xiu said.

"Okay!" Tang Rou nodded.

"Qian Cheng, what about you?" Ye Xiu asked Qian Cheng.

"Great God, don't joke around…" Qian Cheng wiped his sweat.

"But it shouldn't be a problem to attract aggro, right? I remember you being quite mocking!" Ye Xiu said.

Qian Cheng was speechless. The past was too horrible to recall! Back then, he was mocking because he was too weak compared to the Great God, so opponents swarmed to pinch this soft persimmon. It was not the same thing at all! At the time, Qian Cheng didn't know who Lord Grim was, and he felt a bellyful of resentment. Now that he knew the truth, he really had nothing to say. Compared to the Ye Qiu Great God, being weak was only to be expected, a must.

"Great God, what do you want me to do?"

"If you can't beat them, just lead them around. It would be great if you could lead them to meet up with us," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, then I'll try my best!" Ye Xiu said.

"Alright, next, let's go to the dungeon entrance and wait. We don't know which dungeon entrance they'll go to, so let's each go to an island! Kill as many as you can, and if Qian Cheng can't kill them, report their location, and then we'll figure out how to meet up," Ye Xiu arranged for the next step.

"Okay!"

The three responded.

"Ma Hou Pao, you're the same as Qian Cheng," Ye Xiu suddenly shouted again.

"Okay." A voice suddenly came from the woods on the shore. The figure of the Launcher, Ma Hou Pao, came out from inside. He had been hiding in this area all along, killing small monsters on the shore when he had nothing to do, leveling up while acting as a lookout. The first Yan Yu Tower dungeon team's entry point was discovered thanks to Ma Hou Pao. The only regret was that one person's observation range was limited, and he only captured the traces of this one Yan Yu Tower team. He continued to wander around later, but found nothing more.

Then the five people went into the water and went their separate ways. They were all veterans, and they all knew how to get to the dungeon entrance. After each choosing a water island, they landed one after another, and then reported to each other, and then each studied how to ambush them at the dungeon entrance in front of them.

In the dungeon, teams from twelve guilds were working hard at this time. Among them, nine guilds had joined forces to turn against Ye Xiu because the establishment of the Happy Guild posed a great threat to them, resulting in a water battle in which they were beaten black and blue.

At this time, among the nine guilds, Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition had spent materials to guarantee their safety. Yan Yu Tower was beaten until it had no temper and dared not show its face in Qianbo Lake for the time being. There were still six guilds, which were the targets of Ye Xiu's pressure, and of course he had already told the other four people.

Herb Garden, Howling Heights, Hundred Blossoms Valley, Royal Wind, 301, Void Walker.

Six guilds with club backgrounds. Herb Garden goes without saying, its background is Team Tiny Herb, a champion powerhouse team. The other six, on paper, are indeed slightly inferior, but they are all strong competitors. As long as they enter the playoffs, the subsequent elimination system will have unlimited possibilities. The championship will never be a sure thing.

Only these competitive guilds would calculate every inch of gain and loss, even with the guilds in the online game. Like the other three guilds who had participated in the Christmas event together, they didn't have much ambition. They were satisfied with ensuring a place in the alliance. Their development idea was to not seek merit, but to seek no mistakes. They would also try to compete for dungeon records, but they would not go all out for it like the big guilds.

Of course, they would not participate in the activity of chasing and killing Lord Grim. At this time, these guilds would not be on the list when Ye Xiu led people to fight back.

Outside the game, Ye Xiu also created a discussion group using QQ, called everyone to log on to QQ, and then pulled them all in, and then sent a list.

Everyone took a look, and on it were the estimated times for the six guilds to finish three dungeon runs.

"Where did this come from?" Qian Cheng asked in surprise.

"Inferred!" Ye Xiu said.

"Inferred?"

"The dungeon strategy they use is the guide I wrote. The eight characters of each guild who can run the dungeon are all on the level ranking list. You can tell at a glance what the best configuration is. Then, estimate the time to clear the dungeon. That's not difficult, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, I see…" Qian Cheng was not too surprised. He had already reminded himself that the person he was following was the top expert in the Glory circle, and if he continued to look at problems with the old perspective, he would be scared to death sooner or later. He had to keep his eyes on the far horizon.

"Everyone, pay attention, keep an eye on these six time periods," Ye Xiu said.

The six time periods were not very different. The elite dungeon teams that each guild had created with all their strength were all about the same strength. The only difference was the person controlling them, and some luck during the dungeon runs.

Before the time arrived, the five people were casually killing small monsters on the shoreline of the lake islands to level up, not wasting time. As the time period approached, they immediately entered the places they had chosen in advance.

Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng were not afraid of water battles, so there was a lot of room to choose. The other three were different. They all wanted to solve the problem on land. Tang Rou was seeking a battle, while Qian Cheng and Ma Hou Pao just wanted to seduce and tease their opponents, and then lead them to the Great God. They were not fighting a technical battle, but a psychological battle.

"How is everyone doing?" Time jumped into the area marked by Ye Xiu in the blink of an eye, and Ye Xiu was already asking in the team channel.

"No sign of them."

"No sign of them."

"No sign of them."

"I...Blue Brook Guild..."

Qian Cheng hid on one side of the dungeon entrance, waiting for the opponent's character to walk out of the dungeon. The first character that jumped out was with the guild name "Blue Brook Guild" on its head.

"Ignore Blue Brook Guild," Ye Xiu replied.

"I know." Qian Cheng said. Blue Brook Guild was not to be ignored, but it was a little embarrassing. Qian Cheng did not show up to meet them, but shrank back again, watching as the five people from Blue Brook Guild went into the water and left the dungeon.

Observation continued. A dungeon entrance was not limited to one guild. In theory, it was possible for all six guilds' dungeon teams to enter the same entrance.

"Oh, I'm lucky!" Su Mucheng suddenly said in the team.

"What?"

"I have two teams here!" On Su Mucheng's side, a team of people came out of the dungeon. Before she could take action, another team of people walked out in the blink of an eye.

Herb Garden, Royal Wind.

Appearing in front of Su Mucheng were the teams from these two guilds. Su Mucheng was alone. Encirclement was wishful thinking, so there was not much point in ambushing. So, she simply did not hide, and stood directly outside the dungeon gate. The first team of people who came out were surprised, and when the second team came out, they saw Su Mucheng's Wind Following the River Smoke's Launcher on her shoulder, and the artillery fire was already spraying out.

"Damn!!" The ten people made a sound in unison, dodging the cannonballs and rolling around everywhere. The fear in their hearts amplified the damage of Su Mucheng's attack. It was as if this was not an anti-tank gun, but an atomic bomb.
