Chapter 414 The Team-Up

Lanxi Pavilion really didn't arrive early. By the time they got there, old rivals like Zhongcaotang, Tyrannical Ambition, and Dynasty had all already arrived. Lan He looked around. Naturally, he wouldn't recognize many ordinary players, but the leaders were all core members of their respective guilds. Old members like him would be hard-pressed not to recognize them.

Although they were often rivals who fought and killed each other, those in the online game scene now had something of the professional players' spirit of "opponents on the field, friends off the field." They showed no mercy when fighting for Bosses, but since they hadn't started fighting yet, there was nothing new about chatting together.

Lan He saw the leaders of a few guilds huddled together, muttering. He went over to greet them.

"Oh, Blue Bridge, long time no see!"

Several of them greeted him. Lan He wasn't leading teams to fight Bosses as often these days, so he had less contact with the other guilds, making "long time no see" a natural sentiment.

"Mm, mm..." Lan He responded. Of course, there was no need to explain, so he cut straight to the chase: "What's the meaning of this?"

"He Wu started killing as soon as they arrived, and now they're trapped. It seems they're in a bind. They can't leave, but if they don't kill, they'll be killed by the Boss. Tsk tsk, tragic!" These guys observed and came to that conclusion.

"Oh..." Lan He responded, but he still felt something was off. This feeling was soon echoed by Qianri Hong from Zhongcaotang, who said, "There are quite a few guilds here today. It looks like it'll take some effort."

Indeed, a lot of guilds had come.

He Wu, Yueyun, Zhaohua, and Yi Zhan Tianxia – it was rare for four guilds like these to show up all at once to compete for a Boss. Although they didn't think these guilds were a threat, with four extra guilds suddenly appearing and several major guilds on their side, if everyone fought independently, the situation would be most annoying. It was hard to find a good entry point. Everyone hoped to strike last and pick up the easy loot, but the Boss's health wouldn't wait. Who would be the first to lose their cool and interfere?

They wouldn't discuss this topic. These were the tactics they would use in the upcoming competition. Who would discuss how to fight this battle together?

He Wu was embroiled in a chaotic battle. The Boss was a sneaky one, but the image of the Sea Wanderer Gan Lie was still quite distinctive. Lan He easily found his target. He clicked to check the Boss’s health; it had already dropped considerably. Looking around, the various guilds all seemed ready to pounce.

Originally, the group of leaders who were huddled together had dispersed back to their respective camps after Lan He chatted with them. Each guild began to guard against each other, while also calculating how to launch an attack. At the same time, Lan He began receiving messages from these core leaders. Tyrannical Ambition said, "Let's join forces and twist Zhongcaotang first." Zhongcaotang said, "Dynasty just messaged me to team up and deal with you. I don't like that kind of behavior, so let's team up and screw them over." Then Dynasty messaged him saying, "Bro, give me a hand, will you? Let's take down Tyrannical Ambition together..."

Here it comes again...

Lan He looked at all of this, and that feeling of mental exhaustion returned. He just didn't want to participate in this kind of hypocritical and treacherous struggle, but leading a team to snatch a Boss inevitably meant dealing with this kind of thing. Especially when the surface was calm and the fighting hadn't started yet. It would be less troublesome if they were already embroiled in a chaotic battle.

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

...

Lan He was truly annoyed by these things now. He was too lazy to analyze the information and find opportunities. In the end, he just irresponsibly agreed to everything.

Finally, the Boss's health dropped to only a quarter. Under normal circumstances, this was about the time to make a move. But this time, the major guilds were all quite patient. They wanted to leave the opportunity to Yueyun, Zhaohua, Yi Zhan Tianxia, and the like, letting them make the first move.

No one expected that these small teams and small guilds would be even more patient than the major guilds, watching the Boss's health drop to this stage and still pretending to be calm and not acting.

"Damn... Small guilds are just small guilds. Have they ever snatched a wild Boss before? Do they have any common sense?" Someone from the major guilds was complaining. Actually, where did Yueyun, Zhaohua, and Yi Zhan Tianxia count as small guilds in the eyes of ordinary people? But in their eyes, they naturally became small guilds. As for those guilds with dozens or hundreds of players, messing around on their own, they didn't even count as guilds!

The small guilds' calmness made the major guilds a little uncomfortable. Were they supposed to make a move, only to have the small guilds launch a counterattack and kick their asses? No, that would be too embarrassing. They continued to hold on.

The major guilds continued to not move, continuing to watch the Boss's health decline. Seeing that the small guilds hadn't moved, some of them wanted to send someone over to remind them: "Hey, if you don't attack, no one's going to get this Boss!"

The Boss's health went from a quarter to a fifth, then to a sixth...

No movement, no movement, still no movement.

The small guilds were as still as mountains, while the major guilds were on pins and needles. Finally, someone woke up: "With us here, how would they dare to move?"

Yes, they must be too scared to move because we're all here...

Someone was just thinking that when the three small guilds suddenly moved.

"Damn!" The person who had just thought that felt like they had been slapped in the face and was a little embarrassed.

The three guilds didn't move until they did, and when they did, it was like a thunderbolt. Their characters, one by one, bared their fangs and claws as they pounced on He Wu Guild.

That's right! That's the way to do it!

Fight, kill! Be more intense, and then let us come and clean you up!

The major guilds were satisfied. At this time, they also began to secretly deploy their forces, preparing to act at any time. Taking over the Boss, attacking other guilds that intended to take over the Boss, guarding against other guilds that might try to disrupt them – there was a lot of work to do! How could they not assign tasks one by one?

As a result, at this moment, everyone noticed something was wrong again.

Yes, wrong, very wrong! The three guilds had all pounced, so why was the Sea Wanderer Gan Lie's health dropping faster and faster?

One-seventh, one-eighth... one-ninth... Enraged!!!

Damn, you guys, you should have cleared out the members of He Wu Guild first, and then seized the opportunity to take over the Boss. Why are you guys so eager to snatch it at this stage? Can you even pull the aggro? If you fight like this, the people of He Wu won't be dead yet, but the Boss will fall first. The members of He Wu team accounted for such a large proportion of the output. The ownership of this Boss is definitely theirs! You bunch of idiots, pigs, do you even know how to snatch a Boss?

The major guilds were furious. They didn't expect these small guild guys to be more than capable of spoiling things. They hurriedly prepared to attack, preparing to teach these small guilds, who didn't know how to snatch a Boss, a good lesson.

But it was too late. Before they could all pounce, the system issued an announcement: He Wu Guild has killed the Sea Wanderer Gan Lie.

Damn, you bunch of idiots, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

The major guilds had never imagined that the final outcome would be like this. One by one, they were half dead with anger. But fortunately, it was just a level 60 wild Boss. Everyone's mood was still easy to digest. At this time, the major guilds really wanted to see the expressions of those three idiots! Were you guys snatching a Boss? You were going to help He Wu Guild. You bunch of dumb birds, do you all know it now? Are you all dumbfounded?

The major guilds didn't think about using force to vent their anger. They thought that the three small guilds must be weeping without tears, filled with regret, and unable to resist the urge to bang their heads against the wall. Who knew that as soon as the Boss fell and the announcement came out, those people immediately stopped and withdrew. The members of the three guilds left, taking their teams as if nothing had happened. Then He Wu Guild, having cleared the battlefield, passed by the major guilds, laughing and cheering.

"This... what's going on?" The members of the major guilds suddenly felt something was wrong. Several core leaders gathered again for a small meeting. Looking at the figures of the four guilds that had already left... These four... why were they walking together, looking like one family?

"He Wu's people don't seem to have died many, do they?" Someone said.

"What's going on?"

"Those three... didn't attack He Wu's people at all?"

"Could it be that they rushed up and focused on attacking the Boss, wanting to snatch the Boss like this? Is it possible to be so lacking in common sense?"

Lan He didn't express his opinion. He was still staring at those guys who were gradually walking away. He suddenly saw a strange guy among those characters, with a top-heavy appearance, walking in the middle of the team, surrounded by many people.

Lan He couldn't quite see the ID above that person's head, but he suddenly had some kind of premonition. He quickly had his Blue Bridge Spring Snow rush forward and quickly approached. Then he saw the ID above that person's head, which matched his terrible premonition very well.

Lord Grim! (Jun Mo Xiao)

"Blue Bridge..." The few members of the major guilds looked strangely at Blue Bridge Spring Snow's sudden forward rush and then sudden stop, and then watched him slowly walk back.

"Those guys... they really were helping..." Lan He said.

"What?"

"They joined forces! Understand? Those four are one family. He Wu mainly killed, and the other three attacked at the last moment, not to snatch the Boss, but to speed up killing the Boss. We were tricked by them." Lan He said.

"..."

Everyone was speechless, but they had to admit that what Lan He said was very likely. Otherwise, going up like that, only caring about hitting the Boss and not clearing people, was really too lacking in common sense. Although they called these guilds small guilds, were they really small guilds? Of course not. They were also guilds affiliated with professional teams, and they also had the same goals and efforts as them. How could they not even have this common sense? How could they make this mistake?

The major guilds were wrong. They were too careless. We didn't even take these opponents seriously. Instead, we calculated how to deal with the few around us. What was the result? Their calculations fell through. Four "small guilds" elegantly killed the Boss in their view and left quietly...
