Hu Die Lan
Chapter 891 Direct Train Home
He left because he killed 29 people. Only players who completely avoided PK could fail to understand this cause and effect. The big shots present were certainly not such innocent players, and they collectively fell silent. So he had gone to wash off his PK points. Once he was done, would he be back to continue dealing with them? Even more tragic was that those who were killed had directly returned to their respective parties. They hadn't rushed to register in Yun Duan City, all planning to meet up first. They hadn't expected to be thrown into battle as soon as they arrived!
"We need to leave here. We can't keep waiting. We should actively seek out others to regroup. After all, we're the most combat-capable group right now," First Class Low Temperature said.
"We're...the most combat-capable group?" After being slaughtered so miserably by Qian Li Yizui alone, the statement sounded incredibly ironic.
"You understand what I mean," First Class Low Temperature said helplessly. He meant that compared to the others, they were at least a group of eight gathered together, naturally making them the most combat-capable. But these guys insisted on thinking about that embarrassing battle just now, how could they not feel ashamed?
"That's right, let's go," Seasoned Veteran echoed First Class Low Temperature, asking about the locations of others in the channel, expressing his intention to actively regroup with them.
"How are the other leaders? Are they alright? Is anyone able to say something?" Seasoned Veteran continued to shout in the channel. Several big shots remained silent, the battle seemingly still deadlocked. Just as everyone was feeling helpless, a system notification suddenly appeared, indicating that a player had been judged to be outside the maximum team range and automatically removed from the team.
Everyone's hearts tightened. For something like this to happen now, it could only mean that this leader was dead, and his group was likely to suffer a miserable fate.
Sure enough, everyone soon received a private message from this leader, three words: "F**k, f**k, f**k!!"
"What happened?" They finally found someone they could ask.
"Those motherf***ers from Very Heaven knew we were coming! We were ambushed on the main road. They have more people!" The leader's anger wouldn't subside anytime soon. People at their level placed great importance on their ranking on the level leaderboard. Saying their ranking was in the double digits already gave them face, and being in the top ten, or even top twenty, was even more prestigious. They were introduced as such, with the ranking almost like a title. But now, with this death, they had lost the opportunity for this title. In the current level 40+ domain, trying to regain their previous ranking after dropping a level was impossible unless something incredible happened. Who among the world's top-ranked players wasn't a leveling maniac? So no one would lose to anyone in diligence, and diligence alone couldn't make up for this loss.
"I wonder how the other teams are doing..." The eight had no interest in sharing this guy's current mood, since they weren't really familiar with him. They were more worried about the other teams facing the same situation. They had already realized the terrifying nature of their opponents, so they cared about how much strength they had at hand. They wouldn't think that just gathering some people would be enough to defeat Very Heaven. Nor would they think that Ying Qi's recruitment of experts from thirty-one main cities was an exaggeration. What experts? They were all rabbits in front of Qian Li Yizui. He alone could mess with a hundred of them. The legends weren't entirely legends. It seemed like a legend because those things didn't hit the key points. Qian Li Yizui's power was indescribable. He wasn't even in the same category as a player!
The eight big shots were worried about the other teams while discussing Qian Li Yizui. Qian Li Yizui had gone to wash off his PK points, and once he was done, he could come back and kill them again. Without quickly gathering three or five hundred people, they wouldn't feel safe at all.
However, things didn't go the way they hoped. System messages continued to appear, announcing players being removed from their teams due to being out of range, followed by angry messages like "F**k, f**k, f**k!!" They didn't want to see this outcome, but they were already prepared for it. With such thorough preparations, how could their opponents fight a battle they weren't sure of winning? If they could wipe out one team, they could naturally wipe out two or three. The ambushed teams probably hadn't escaped. Their strengths were already close to each other.
Until another person was automatically removed from the team, Seasoned Veteran finally realized that those still in the team were talking in the channel. The ambushed teams had been completely wiped out, a total of six teams. They had lost one-fifth of their strength just after arriving in Yun Duan City, not counting the twenty-nine people sent back home by Qian Li Yizui.
Of the eighteen groups that arrived first, eight had met up, six had been wiped out, and the remaining four were nervously on their way to meet up.
Fortunately, no new accidents occurred. The eight groups and the four groups met up in order, forming the new twelve groups. Counting the total number of people, there were 211. This was already a number lower than Very Heaven's, not to mention Qian Li Yizui, who could take on many people alone. The big shots who had finished meeting up still couldn't find the safety they were hoping for. They quickly contacted the six groups that were slowly trying to find scrolls, informing them of everything that had happened, telling them to be careful, and advising them to provide their teleportation landing coordinates so that the two hundred of them could directly go to meet them.
Afterward, they contacted the six angry groups that had been killed back home, trying to get information from them. The six angry groups were planning to gather even more people, preparing to return to Yun Duan City for revenge. This decision made the twelve groups extremely happy. They wished the six aggrieved parties could bring their entire guilds, forming an army of ten thousand. That way, Qian Li Yizui wouldn't be so scary, right?
Besides these comrades, the seven groups still trekking through mountains and rivers also needed to be contacted. The severity of the situation had been truthfully conveyed to them. They needed to make these seven comrades realize that they couldn't sit down and have tea while waiting for them because Very Heaven had already targeted them and was currently at a disadvantage. If they continued to dawdle, they might find them gone when they arrived, and they would have to face Very Heaven alone. Also, Qian Li Yizui fought eight of their teams and easily killed twenty-nine of them, and twenty-nine probably wouldn't be the end if he didn't have to wash off his PK points.
The seven groups hesitated after seeing the message. Some were already considering whether to get a scroll and fly over as soon as possible. But a message from a leader named Yin Sha Zhi made everyone feel depressed. Yin Sha Zhi said, "Can't you just go offline and hide?"
This person was determined to walk to Yun Duan City! The twelve leaders of the twelve groups looked down on this guy. Going offline and hiding? That was a good idea. But they had things to do! The six groups getting scrolls were waiting for them to pick them up! What if Very Heaven captured those guys when they arrived?
They didn't discuss this issue with Yin Sha Zhi, because he would probably coldly reply, "Then they can wait before flying, can't they?"
Just for Yin Sha Zhi's group, everyone had to hide offline and wait for him to arrive before doing anything? Everyone was unhappy about this and hated his attitude. Look at the other six groups, who had already said they would teleport as soon as they reached the next main city!
"Forget about that guy. This other guy has gotten a scroll and is going to pick it up. Let's go to the coordinate location he's heading to and pick him up," Seasoned Veteran said to everyone.
Everyone nodded and quickly headed toward the coordinates. Along the way, the two hundred or so people were very restrained, having lost the arrogant attitude they had when they first arrived. Although four of the groups hadn't fought Qian Li Yizui or been ambushed, they didn't dare to be careless after hearing the battle report and seeing how cautious the other eight groups were.
On the streets where they ambushed their opponents, the players of Very Heaven were counting their spoils of war. With such a large-scale death, the chances of nothing dropping were too low. The dropped items were distributed according to the usual online game rules: convert them into money and split it. If someone present needed the item, they would pay the money and everyone would split it. If they didn't have enough money, they could pay in installments. Those who suffered losses in battle would get a larger share as compensation. However, the loss of dropping a level directly in Parallel World was unprecedented, so it was difficult to determine how much compensation was appropriate. But Very Heaven didn't have to worry about this because none of their ambushes had resulted in any casualties.
Having a numerical advantage was one aspect, but more importantly, their attacks caught their opponents completely off guard, wiping out half of them in the first wave. Although the members of Very Heaven weren't all elites, they had a group of top experts leading the way. As for the command, Yu Tian Shen Ming, Zhan Wu Shang, and the others might seem messy at times, but they were actually experienced people who weren't inferior to any expert, just not as renowned as those specializing in command.
"How's it going on your side? I don't have anything good here." Everyone had only dealt with around twenty people, and some places had no loot at all. Yu Tian Shen Ming's group had dropped three pieces of equipment, but none of them were anything to drool over. The Very Heaven players, who had just received generous compensation, didn't really care.
"Not even a hair." Zhan Wu Shang's side didn't drop anything at all.
"Typical poor bastards," Yu Tian Shen Ming cursed. Although the other party also had twenty people, their equipment couldn't compare to the Eagle Legion. Among these thirty-one groups, only the leading big shots could be compared to the Eagle Legion. The others were just partners from their respective guilds or mercenary groups. Not every main city gathered the elite of the elite.
"Judging from the number of people, they're all in groups of around twenty, with the largest being twenty-four and the smallest being sixteen. Qian Li, how's it going on your side?"
"Washing off PK points, busy!" Gu Fei said.
Everyone was silent. Gu Fei was going to wash off his PK points, which meant he had definitely killed twenty-nine people. Everyone knew without asking. This guy's efficiency surpassed all of them, and he was facing a large group of people alone. As expected, when Qian Li takes action, he's worth x people...
"How many teams do you think there are on your side? If each team has twenty people," You Ge said.
"This...there must be over a hundred people!" Gu Fei said.
"Be more accurate," You Ge said.
"I saw seven or eight of them huddled together, whispering. They might be the leaders." Gu Fei's observation was also not to be underestimated.
"Oh, so that's seven or eight teams. Adding those six teams, there are already thirteen or fourteen teams. There might be some we don't know about, so it seems likely that there are more than twenty teams," You Ge concluded.
"Twenty teams, twenty people per team? Four hundred people, tsk tsk. It's a pity that over a hundred of them have already gone back. I don't think the rest will last much longer," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"Twenty teams is just an estimate. I think there's a good chance there are more. Thanks to the information from Yun Teng this time, we were able to take the initiative," You Ge said.
"Don't say that," Han Jia Gongzi said. "This isn't information leaked by Yun Teng. It's just a small incident I accidentally learned about during a conversation with a friend, and then I deduced the conclusion through my great wisdom."
"Come on, he clearly deliberately told you," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
Han Jia Gongzi didn't answer. He knew that Yun Teng had intentionally revealed it, but he and Ya Xiao Suan Gen had a subtle understanding. Nothing was ever directly aimed at its purpose, and everything seemed to be just a small topic in a casual conversation. For example, this time, Ya Xiao Suan Gen sent Han Jia Gongzi a message like gossip: "It's really interesting! The equipment throwing is over, but suddenly a lot of people want to buy scrolls to Yun Duan City?"
This was not interesting. Han Jia Gongzi immediately understood the implication and replied: "Is that so? I also have some friends who want to come over. Give me the exact same thing..."
So Han Jia Gongzi knew the number of scrolls Yun Teng sold. One scroll for four people, easy to judge the number of people. Then, Han Jia Gongzi made some suggestions to the seller, thinking that the same coordinates for all the scrolls would easily cause traffic jams. The seller thought this was a great suggestion, so he provided different coordinates and sincerely asked Han Jia Gongzi for his opinion. Han Jia Gongzi was extremely satisfied with the seller's service attitude, so he suggested selling a set first to try it out. The seller humbly accepted this suggestion again.
Thus, in the friendly negotiations between the seller and the buyer, the seven teams who bought teleportation scrolls from Yun Teng Studio to fly directly to Yun Duan City were doomed to tragedy.
The first team of these seven teams, which was "trial operation", led Gu Fei to their meeting place, while the remaining six teams quickly boarded the direct train back home.
