Chapter 178 Guild

Just as everyone was feeling excited about breaking the record, the big boss behind the scenes suddenly complained about the guild's name. This was something even Ye Xiu, who had experienced countless battles, had not anticipated. Chen Guo's voice was once again clearly transmitted from Ye Xiu's headset directly into the game, making the team suddenly fall silent.

After a brief daze, Ye Xiu, with his extensive experience, was the first to speak. Using the guild name as a starting point, he steered the topic directly, "Let's just leave it like this for now! When we get to the Heavenly Domain, we can start over. After all, that's where the main focus will be."

"That makes sense." Chen Guo nodded, but then seemed to remember something and asked, "Then in the other districts, should we also establish guilds?"

Ye Xiu broke out in a sweat and quickly said, "It's too early, too early..."

"Oh..." Chen Guo responded and finally stopped saying anything more. However, this sudden complaint had dampened everyone's excitement about breaking the dungeon record. Going back to being excited now seemed a bit silly. In the end, it was Ye Xiu who displayed the demeanor of a great general, calmly saying to the four of them, "Let's continue the dungeon..."

They had only used one attempt to break the record. With normal leveling, there were still two dungeon opportunities left unused, so of course they had to use them. This was a very logical choice, and the other four naturally had no objections. Thus, while the others in the guild were still cheering for the guild's record, the five protagonists had already returned to the ordinary task of leveling up.

Actually, their excitement hadn't cooled down that quickly, it was just that they were momentarily unsure how to continue after a strange and sudden interruption. Like Qian Cheng and Ma Houpao, after starting the second dungeon, they still couldn't help but occasionally bring up the dungeon record leaderboard, admiring their names at the top of the Thousand Wave Lake dungeon record list, as well as the score of 30 minutes 25 seconds 41, and then giggling stupidly.

Soon, the two who weren't concentrating enough failed to keep up with the team's rhythm one after another, and were considered to have made mistakes. It was clear that a second attempt at the dungeon would not break the record. Both of them quickly apologized, and Ye Xiu casually told them to relax. The current record was already strong enough. 30 minutes 25 seconds 41, leading the second record by a full four minutes. All of this could be said to be the result of the powerful crowd control created by Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng working together. And their cooperation was almost impossible to surpass, even in the top professional alliance.

It was just that saying: the higher the difficulty of the dungeon, the greater the advantage of Ye Xiu's team, because of their two professional-level skills.

Ye Xiu was very satisfied with the record. What he found a little strange at this time was the reaction of the major guilds. The whole world was too calm, so calm that it didn't fit the routine of the Glory game at all. Just a moment ago, when they came out of the dungeon, Ye Xiu had carefully paid attention to the surroundings again, and found that there was still no movement. Could it be that these guilds were really so well-behaved that they gave up competing with them?

Ye Xiu didn't quite believe it, but the fact seemed to be just like that. In Ye Xiu's experience, there must be a conspiracy. The major guilds were keeping their troops hidden at this time, which meant they were confident and had some powerful back-up plan waiting for them.

What could it be?

While thinking to himself, Ye Xiu also sent messages. First of all, of course, he contacted Blue River, the tenth server guild leader from Blue Brook Pavilion, who he thought had a pretty good relationship with.

"How is it? Awesome, right!" Ye Xiu started the conversation like this.

"What?" Blue River replied like this.

"The record! The new record, didn't you see it?" Ye Xiu replied.

"Oh, I saw it. But this was expected." Blue River's reply was extremely calm.

"Oh, so what are you planning to do?" Ye Xiu asked.

Of course, Blue River knew what Ye Xiu was referring to, but such a direct question left him speechless, so he replied with "..."

"Come back and visit with Account Excellent Era when you have time. Many people in the guild miss you a lot and often ask about you. It's not good to directly tell them that Account Excellent Era is Blue River and let them come to see Blue River directly. After all, you're an undercover!" Ye Xiu said.

Blue River swallowed again. It was really weird! The leader of the side being infiltrated, thinking so much about the undercover, was really...so weird! Blue River couldn't find a special word to describe his feeling at this moment.

"Then let's do that for now! Everyone is almost out of Thousand Wave Lake. Do you have any arrangements in the next leveling area? To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it!" Ye Xiu's last sentence included an expression symbolizing "expectation."

Blue River felt a chill in his heart.

They had had "arrangements" countless times, but every time, the result was that Ye Xiu took advantage of them and left triumphantly. From this perspective, Ye Xiu really had a good reason to look forward to their "arrangements."

"It seems like this time might disappoint you..." Blue River replied like this.

Upon receiving this reply, Ye Xiu was stunned. Did this mean that the major guilds really wouldn't have any movements this time?

It was fine to completely give up on Thousand Wave Lake, after all, the gap in strength in water battles was too obvious, making the guilds really helpless. But level 44-46 was a return to land, so there was no reason for the guilds to become so well-behaved!

Ye Xiu couldn't figure it out for a while, and could only take it one step at a time.

Two days after creating the Thousand Wave Lake dungeon record, their record-breaking team also leveled up to 44 one after another, and could begin challenging the new dungeon record. The first-line characters owned by other guilds, of course, had already left Thousand Wave Lake a step earlier. However, the Thousand Wave Lake battle had caused a disparity in the experience of these characters who originally had similar experience due to deaths. The leveling rate of each guild, which was originally very synchronized, was now a mess. However, although there was a difference in timing, when Ye Xiu and the others rushed over, the characters of these guilds had already gathered.

After midnight that night, the focus would be on the new dungeon. This time, of course, Ye Xiu didn't do any more dungeon guide business. With his own participation in the competition, dungeon guides were no longer a guarantee of records, so no one would buy them. Dungeon guides had become practice problems for student Wei Guang to continue maintaining his research level.

"Everyone, be careful."

As midnight approached, Ye Xiu gathered the team in advance. While reminding them, they headed together toward the new leveling area and the new dungeon.

Due to the vast difference in levels, the new leveling area was still the territory of their 99 characters. However, there was no longer the absolute advantage of water battles here. If the other side really gathered all their strength to fight them five against five, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with. Ye Xiu knew this, so from the moment he reached this level, he was very cautious wherever he went in the game.

As a result, the level 44-46 leveling area, the Dark Forest, was as dark and peaceful as its name suggested. Apart from the leveling monsters lurking within, Ye Xiu did not see any threats from players.

The more it was like this, the more solemn Ye Xiu's expression became. Chen Guo, who was on the side, saw Ye Xiu's serious expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. But it's precisely because of this that I find it strange," Ye Xiu said.

"Are they all scared?" Chen Guo said.

"Scared as they may be, but for the competition between club guilds, they have to go on even if they're scared, and they have to find a way. It's like when a strong team and a weak team meet in the professional league. You can't just forfeit the match, you still have to find a way to fight for victory, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"But this isn't a regulated arena, this is just an online game..." Chen Guo said.

"Online game..." Ye Xiu muttered these two words, and his character had already brought the other four to the entrance of the Dark Forest dungeon.

"How is it?" The other four were waiting for Ye Xiu to give instructions.

"Let's go to the dungeon..." Ye Xiu had no choice. If nothing happened, then he could only proceed according to normal logic.

The Dark Forest dungeon for levels 44-46, although Ye Xiu no longer did dungeon guide business, he still had to challenge the record himself, so he had already done his homework on how to play it. This was the team's first entry, so it wasn't as easy as when they were already well-coordinated. From beginning to end, how to fight, how to kill, how to position, and how to cooperate were all explained in detail from start to finish. They didn't achieve anything on the first day. Everyone remembered Ye Xiu's tactics but forgot the details, and occasionally missed some details. Three attempts a day were really not enough.

Similarly, the other guild teams also didn't achieve any results for the time being. The Dark Forest dungeon record was temporarily still held by the system. It was just that Tyrannical Ambition's team had taken the first kill of this dungeon.

The next day was still a repeat of the previous day. However, Ye Xiu's tactics were based on the coordination and crowd control of Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng. And Su Mucheng didn't need Ye Xiu to say it a second time. There was no need for any coordination between the two of them. And with the two of them as the foundation, the remaining three were actually very simple, so Ye Xiu's team had the fastest coordination even when practicing tactics. On the third dungeon attempt of the second day, the five characters finally appeared on TV, and the dungeon record held by the system was broken by them.

The world was of course full of admiration and amazement for Lord Grim. Lord Grim was the number one player in the tenth server. This topic was already undisputed, and the major guilds that had been fighting to the death for the dungeon record before were now as calm as could be.

On the third day, they broke their own record themselves. Three dungeon attempts, two broken records, and the name of the Excellent Era guild was hung on the top three spots of the record board.

On the fourth day, they broke the record twice more, and five names were hung on the record board.

On the fifth day...

On the sixth day...
