Chapter 1 The Beginning

The battle on Ye Xiu's screen made Chen Guo's head spin, but she could at least see the attribute panel clearly. Lord Grim's health was constantly in a state of deficit. This meant that all Ye Xiu was managing to do was keep Lord Grim alive longer than Su Mucheng's character, but whether he could escape because of this was hard to say.

What to do?

Chen Guo was extremely anxious. Whether she revived and rushed over, or called for any assistance, it was impossible to arrive in time. Everything depended on Ye Xiu himself.

Ye Xiu's usual lazy, carefree manner often made Chen Guo grit her teeth in anger. But at this moment, she really hoped to see that expression on Ye Xiu's face.

But no, at this moment, Ye Xiu's face only showed focus. A storm of dense operational sounds kept coming from his hands. The scene made Chen Guo a little dizzy, and even the sounds made her feel a little irritated and uneasy.

No matter what, she should do something!

Chen Guo thought, revived Steamed Bun Invasion, and sprinted wildly from the town in this direction. She didn't know if she could still catch up, and she didn't know what help she could provide even if she did come, she just didn't want to always sit there blankly, unable to help at all.

All the way, Chen Guo paid attention to Lord Grim's coordinates and health.

Ye Xiu was still trying his best to hold on.

Chen Guo wished she could teleport over, even if it was just to let Steamed Bun Invasion block one attack...

Suddenly, Chen Guo realized that it had become quiet near her ear.

Ye Xiu's continuous stream of operations had actually stopped.

Chen Guo's heart suddenly jumped. She quickly turned her head, but found that the colors on the screen were still there. Lord Grim wasn't dead yet. He was currently leaning against a mossy stone wall.

"Ah? Ran away??" Chen Guo had just exclaimed in pleasant surprise when she saw Lord Grim suddenly dart forward again. In her view, she could vaguely see the light and shadow reflecting from some attack effects behind him. Someone had attacked where he had just dodged, but he had managed to dodge it in time again.

"Not yet," Ye Xiu answered Chen Guo.

Being able to speak meant the situation must have improved a lot. She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Xiu's current location: Miro Ancient City Ruins.

Miro Ancient City Ruins, one of the level 55 areas in the God Domain. According to the setting information, it was an ancient city that was destroyed thousands of years ago by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and most of it had sunk underground. The remaining buildings on the surface were weathered, and most of them were incomplete.

The Miro Ancient City Ruins were not large, because this was not a leveling area with many monsters. The small part of the ancient city that remained on the surface was more like a clue, guiding people to explore the true Miro Ancient City that had been buried underground for thousands of years. And this was the large-scale hundred-player dungeon that tortured countless players to death back then: Miro Ancient City.

Chen Guo glanced at Lord Grim's level, 54, still half a level's worth of experience away from 55. Obviously, it was impossible to suddenly reach level 55 and run into the dungeon to hide. Ye Xiu had Lord Grim run here, presumably to use the terrain to deal with the opponents properly.

"20 people." Ye Xiu pulled the microphone on his headset aside and spoke to Chen Guo, obviously afraid that the sound would expose their location. At this time, Lord Grim was hiding in the corner of a stone house that was only a third of its original size, observing the outside through the cracks in the stone wall.

"Oh?"

"I roughly felt it, it should be this number." Ye Xiu had dodged all the way and finally figured out the strength of the opponents.

"Who are they?" Chen Guo asked.

"Not sure, but that's not important. These people are all average in strength, but their commander is very difficult to deal with," Ye Xiu said.

"Who is the commander?" Chen Guo was surprised. To be called difficult to deal with by Ye Xiu, this person must be at least a professional level!

"Not sure, I haven't had a chance to observe," Ye Xiu said helplessly. He had been rushing around to survive all the way, and it was already good enough to be able to estimate the number of opponents from their skills. It was very difficult to determine who was commanding among the 20 people when the other party was using the channel to command with text.

"If we can find this commander and get rid of him, the rest won't be a problem at all," Ye Xiu said.

"Damn!"

Just as Ye Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly shouted and quickly made an operation. Lord Grim somersaulted out of the corner, and with a loud bang behind him, a hole was blasted through the stone wall, and rubble splashed and filled the corner. Only a Sharpshooter's skill, "Barrett Sniper," could achieve this kind of penetration.

"Boom!"

Following was an even louder sound. A small mushroom cloud even rose in the corner of the ruined house. It was a Launcher's thermal missile that had been thrown there.

Lord Grim, who had jumped away from the corner of the wall, was immediately exposed to the view of more characters. A Berserker couldn't wait any longer and charged over with a Colliding Stab.

This skill was used very well, reflecting Ye Xiu's evaluation of their "average strength." Ye Xiu simply had Lord Grim take a light backstep, and the Berserker awkwardly stood in front of Lord Grim. The charging distance of his skill had reached its limit...

How could Ye Xiu give him a second chance to attack? Lord Grim had already stepped forward and torn the Berserker up, throwing him out with a Toss.

Two more people were following behind, not expecting that the Berserker, this vanguard general, would suddenly become the other party's cannonball. The two jumped to the left and right. As a result, they discovered that it wasn't just the Berserker who was thrown back. There was also a grenade hidden very subtly behind him. It was too late to dodge now. The grenade exploded, and the three of them were blown head over heels together.

Ye Xiu ignored the three and turned Lord Grim's body, holding the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella straight. Fire spewed wildly from the tip of the umbrella, and bullets poured out. A Thief was trying his best to place traps at the small intersection ahead. Seeing the machine gun sweeping over, he quickly rolled to the side, only to see that the traps he had painstakingly placed were shot one by one, all blown out of the ground, and turned into a pile of garbage on the ground.

The Thief was very angry. Waiting for the Gatling Gun to finish sweeping, he was about to jump out and say something when a loud bang rang out behind his butt, and he was directly blown out and plunged into the pile of garbage. In mid-air, he quickly twisted his view and saw a pile of mechanical debris. It was a Mechanic's skill, Mechanical Pursuit, but he couldn't figure out where it had come from.

Lord Grim turned his body halfway again and fired two shots towards the slanting mid-air. The Elementalist who was flying out diagonally was shot down, and the Gunner who had jumped onto the roof and was about to give Lord Grim a shot was also staggered.

Then, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella turned into a battle lance. A Falling Flower Palm was pushed out, blowing away two melee characters who had charged up, a Striker and a Grappler. The two were also wondering. Lord Grim was clearly shooting in another direction just now, so how did he suddenly hit them with a palm?

In one go, he attacked eight characters in a row, and his view also turned around. Ye Xiu found a breakthrough and immediately had Lord Grim rush over quickly.

"These eight don't seem like it," Ye Xiu suddenly said.

"Ah?" Chen Guo was afraid of disturbing Ye Xiu and didn't dare to talk to him. She didn't expect him to say something himself. After a slight daze, Chen Guo also understood what Ye Xiu meant: "You mean these eight people don't seem like that expert commander?"

"Yeah," Ye Xiu said.

"Or maybe this person is only good at commanding and arranging formations, and his actual combat level is just like that?" Chen Guo said.

"That's also possible," Ye Xiu nodded, not denying it.

Lord Grim continuously rolled and jumped under his control, aimed at a narrow opening in front, and rushed over. Just as he was about to pass through, there were a few crisp sounds, and ice walls rose up, just blocking the narrow opening.

The six people behind him had already closed in, and Ye Xiu had no time to break the ice wall. He glanced to the left and right. Six people were rushing from the right, and three were blocking from the left. Which side was better to rush towards didn't seem to require too much consideration. But at this time, the sky was also buzzing, it was the Mechanic's mechanical airdrop. Two winter melon-like things were spinning their propellers and flying towards Lord Grim's head. As soon as these two guys opened their bellies, bombs would be dropped down in a line.

Lord Grim quickly twisted his body and rolled to the left, while firing two shots, bang bang, at the two winter melons in the air.

These winter melons were full of bombs, no different from grenades. Two shots hit, and they immediately exploded in the air, scattering fireworks all over the ground, and turned into two pieces of charred rotten iron that fell down.

Who would have thought that after solving these two mechanical airdrops, the air raid hadn't ended yet. An Elementalist riding a broom actually flew out from the cover of the explosion's fire, holding a lava flask in his hand and about to smash it on Lord Grim's head.

Ye Xiu had already turned half of Lord Grim's body back, not expecting that the opponent had hidden such a trick. He quickly had Lord Grim jump up, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella turned into a battle lance, trying his best to stab at the Elementalist.

Poof!

The Elementalist was stabbed by this Circle Swing and was directly picked out of mid-air and smashed onto the ground. But Ye Xiu's attack was ultimately a little slower, and he couldn't stop the Elementalist from throwing the lava flask. The lava flask shattered on the ground, and a piece of stone road instantly became a bubbling pool of lava.

Lord Grim was about to fall into the lava, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella suddenly changed again, becoming a Mechanical Rotor, spinning at high speed and skimming over the lava, finally not being burned by the lava.

Skimming over the lava, he rushed straight towards the three people on the left. The Warlock among the three immediately conjured a dark black light ball. He positioned this Curse Arrow's light ball very high, and without accumulating power, he conjured it and turned it immediately, turning it into several black arrows that flew straight over.

This attack forced Ye Xiu to not let Lord Grim fly higher, and he could only go down. But if he went down any further, his feet would touch the ground, so it was better to just run. Ye Xiu simply canceled the Mechanical Rotor and let Lord Grim land. Following a Shadow Clone Technique, the real body directly flashed in front of the Warlock.

The Back Throw command had already been executed. Lord Grim raised his hands and tore at the Warlock. At the same time, Ye Xiu saw the Warlock's face hidden under his cloak, a very haggard man's face, with a messy beard, clearly not a system face, but a scanned image of a real photo.

"Old Wei?" Ye Xiu called out in surprise.
