Chapter 1 The News from One-Line Canyon

"The news from One-Line Canyon is that Lord Grim and the others went to One-Line Canyon. The team includes that One Inch Ash who broke the record at Loulan Land yesterday." After receiving the news, Ye Du Hantan relayed it to Guild Leader Jiang You. At this time, Jiang You opened the elemental mage I Love Lord Grim that he had used last time to guide work in the tenth server.

In the afternoon, Jiang You made a trip to the club, but nothing was accomplished. He came back and said that he didn't dare to make a sound when he saw Han Wenqing. Ye Du Hantan understood this explanation very well.

He was fortunate enough to have seen Han Wenqing once, and he was really a guy who made people feel cold just by looking at him. Ye Du Hantan was not sure whether this temperament was innate or cultivated in the professional circle over the years. He only knew one thing: if he met such a guy while walking at night, then without the other party saying anything, he would hand over his wallet himself…

"The current dungeon record can't be said to be the limit. The elite experts of the major guilds all have the opportunity to create this limit if they give it their all. But from the three dungeons of the previous few, Lord Grim's team just has the ability to create a record above this limit. Although their people have not yet reached level 33, with their technical strength, they should already be able to compete with us." Jiang You analyzed.

"Yes." Ye Du Hantan agreed with this judgment, "If they brush out a very high record now, it will be difficult to handle. It will be useless for us to negotiate with them at that time. We can't get the record back, and it is impossible to ask them to do it for us again. From now on, I don't think any guild will ask them to do it for them."

"We won't, but others may not, which is the most difficult thing." Jiang You smiled wryly.

"Others?" Ye Du Hantan wondered.

"We guilds need the symbolic significance of dungeon records, but some guilds may not need that much. And for Lord Grim, there is no difference between earning something from us or earning something from others…"

"But his asking price, which big guild besides us can afford it?" Ye Du Hantan said.

"Four pieces of Scarlet Moon Set… don't you understand?" Jiang You said.

Ye Du Hantan understood. This was Lord Grim's hint to them. The asking price of four pieces of Scarlet Moon Set can be accepted, what does this mean? It means that Lord Grim's asking price will vary from person to person. For big guilds, he will ask for a price that big guilds can afford; for small guilds, he will ask for a price that small guilds can afford. Big guilds will feel unfair, but you can't do anything about it. The initiative is in the hands of others. Taking four pieces of Scarlet Moon Set to brush the record for the Moon Wheel Guild shows an attitude.

"Do you want me to contact him and talk about the record?" Ye Du Hantan said.

"Oh? How are you going to talk to him?" Jiang You asked.

"Uh, we are still considering the conditions, let him keep a hand first?" Ye Du Hantan said.

"Hmm… we can try to see if he can let us delay it a little longer." Jiang You said.

"Huh…" Just then, Ye Du Hantan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"I received a message," Ye Du Hantan said.

"What message? Is it Lord Grim?"

"No, it's Excellent Dynasty," Ye Du Hantan said.

"Excellent Dynasty? What did they say?" Jiang You was stunned.

"They said they want to talk to us in person," Ye Du Hantan said.

Jiang You frowned. From the background of the two guilds, Excellent Dynasty and their Tyrannical Ambition were absolute mortal enemies. This kind of mortal enemy relationship was much stronger than that between Tiny Herb and Blue Rain. The feud between Tiny Herb and Blue Rain was only formed when Blue Rain defeated Tiny Herb in the post-season of the sixth season, while the grudge between their Tyrannical Ambition and Excellent Dynasty had a long history.

Both teams were veteran powerhouses in Glory, and they had both looked like champions since the first season of the professional league. They started competing from that time. Excellent Era took the lead in the first three years, winning three consecutive championships, but in the fourth season, they were finally defeated by Tyranny, who snatched the championship throne. Then, Excellent Era began to decline, getting worse year by year. Tyranny remained strong in the league, but they have not won a second championship in recent years. For this reason, the two sides ridiculed each other, from the club to the fans to the media with good relations, the battle extended from the field to the off-field. The relationship was much more tense than that between Tiny Herb and Blue Rain.

The guild leader of Herb Garden, Car Qianzi, and Blue River of Blue Brook Guild would even add each other as friends and chat a few words, but it would be difficult for Tyrannical Ambition and Excellent Dynasty to have such a situation. The message that Ye Du Hantan had just received was that the other party had temporarily added him as a friend. He certainly recognized that the ID applying for a friend was the president of Excellent Dynasty's tenth server, which was why he unexpectedly agreed to the addition.

"Excellent Dynasty is looking for us… I think it should also be related to Lord Grim," Jiang You said.

"In fact, Excellent Dynasty was the one who really started biting Lord Grim in the beginning," Ye Du Hantan said. Their Tyrannical Ambition has not yet conflicted with Lord Grim, Blue Brook Guild was just stepped on, as for Excellent Dynasty, they had a big battle with Lord Grim in Frost Forest and Burial Ground. Judging from the records, both sides won one game each, but from the perspective of continuity, it seemed that Lord Grim laughed to the end. Everyone was still expecting to see Excellent Dynasty's methods, but after being stepped on in the Burial Ground, they disappeared.

"We can go meet them. When? Right now?" Jiang You asked.

"The time hasn't been set yet," Ye Du Hantan said.

"Let's make an appointment now! Face-to-face… do we use text mode?" Jiang You said.

Text mode means that although the two sides meet, they don't use voice, but still use typing to communicate. Generally, when the two sides make some important agreements in the game, they will use this method. The typed text will appear above the character's head in the form of a text bubble, so that recording it can be used as evidence of the agreement.

"The other party said to talk first," Ye Du Hantan replied.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look," Jiang You responded.

"What about Lord Grim's side?" Ye Du Hantan asked.

"Contact him too to stabilize him!" Jiang You thought for a while and said.

"Okay…" Ye Du Hantan responded, and while letting his character hurry on the road, he also sent a message.

"Brother."

"Yeah?"

"That, can you get the record for One-Line Canyon tonight?" Ye Du Hantan asked.

"Hard to say," Ye Xiu replied.

This answer stunned Ye Du Hantan. In his opinion, even if Ye Xiu couldn't break the record for this dungeon, he should be bluffing to create pressure on them. To be so frank in saying that this dungeon is stressful, what's going on?

"What difficulties are there?" Ye Du Hantan asked.

"Met a hidden Boss," Ye Xiu said.

Ye Du Hantan burst into tears…

"Hidden Boss!!!" On Ye Xiu's side, as soon as they entered One-Line Canyon, they saw the system prompt. Steamed Bun Invasion shouted happily.

In their team, Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Qiao Yifan were all professional players, and the things in small dungeons would not give them any surprises. Tang Rou was not only a Glory novice, but also a game novice, and was still shaping her game values. Only Steamed Bun Invasion, Glory was a newbie, but he was quite experienced in playing games. After reasoning by analogy, he was quite good at judging what things were valuable in Glory. Otherwise, how could he have been so brave at level 20 to form a group of strangers to try to fight the Blood Gunner?

So at this moment, seeing the refresh of the hidden Boss, only Steamed Bun Invasion generously expressed his emotions.

"We finally met one!" Ye Xiu sighed. Recently, the dungeon battles with the various guilds have been very smooth, but in other aspects, his luck has been quite miserable. Hidden Boss, they haven't seen one yet in the two dungeons of Loulan Land and One-Line Canyon.

"Shadow Blade A'Hong." Tang Rou looked at the hidden Boss prompted in the system message.

"The most difficult Boss in this dungeon," Ye Xiu said.

"What are its characteristics?" Tang Rou asked.

"Didn't you read the guide?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Didn't read it." Tang Rou was very frank. She usually reads guides and videos, but never for dungeons. Her research direction is all in pvp, and she has little interest in pve (pvp is fighting with people, pve is fighting with the system, the arena and pk are both pvp, and brushing dungeons and doing tasks are pve).

"The Shadow Blade's profession is a combination of Berserker and Swordsman. The skills it knows are those of these two professions anyway, so I won't say much. The most important thing to pay attention to is his left-hand saber," Ye Xiu said.

"Left-hand saber?"

"Yes, this Boss holds a saber in his right hand, but he also has a short saber on his right waist. During the attack, he will suddenly draw his saber with his left hand for a sneak attack. We collectively call this series of attacks the left-hand saber. But this attack method is actually very diverse. Any skill can be used through the left-hand saber, so everyone should pay more attention!" Ye Xiu said.

When Ye Xiu said everyone, he actually meant Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion. Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan didn't need him to introduce these things at all.

The dungeon of One-Line Canyon is also shaped like a canyon. Both sides are steep mountains, and players can naturally only move forward according to the established route. The mobs are similar to the wild monsters, but they are all elite level. They have high attack, high health, and faster speed, just like the situation in every dungeon and leveling area.

This dungeon is not the first time for anyone. Qiao Yifan may not have touched it for a long time as a professional player, but with his qualities there, he doesn't need anyone to worry about him.

The background setting of this Shadow Blade A'Hong is that he fled into One-Line Canyon to avoid pursuit, so he will mistakenly think that players who break into the canyon are enemies who came to hunt him down and will fight them.

Of course, this is just the explanation in the game. Even if he doesn't attack the players, the players won't let him go. NPC's story? None of the five people in this team would care about it. Logically, female players prefer to play game plots, but Su Mucheng is also an old Glory player, and she has long been tired of the plots. Tang Rou has little interest in games, so she doesn't care about your plots. What she does every day is to constantly compare herself with Ye Xiu to see if she has improved, if she has made progress, and when she can trample this guy.

The dungeon was cleared all the way, and Ye Xiu reminded everyone to pay attention from time to time. Shadow Blade A'Hong doesn't have a fixed location. He may suddenly flash out of any fork in the road.

Sure enough, after clearing a small road at another intersection, a red-clothed swordsman ran out of one end of the intersection in a panic. After seeing the five people, he shouted and said his line: "You came so fast!"
