Chapter 116 Good Audience
The major guilds, with their doubts, continued their actions. Elites withdrew from the Flaming Forest, and a chasing squad of over a hundred people rushed into the Flaming Forest.

The Glory map was vast, and this number of people was actually not enough for a leveling area. They were far from being able to conduct a carpet search. Moreover, they didn't dare to underestimate the strength of Lord Grim and his party, and scattering too widely would only give Lord Grim opportunities.

After entering the Flaming Forest, the hundred-odd people formed teams of three to five, extremely close to each other. If they encountered Lord Grim, they could quickly gather dozens of people. Having set up such a formation, everyone felt at ease and began to pay attention to the players active in the Flaming Forest.

They were all familiar faces!

At this time, those appearing in the Flaming Forest were undoubtedly the top-level characters in the tenth server. Almost all of these characters were contributed by their major guilds.

Watching others happily grinding and leveling, these bitter souls chasing Lord Grim across the map were naturally very envious and dissatisfied with those guild members who were reaping the benefits here. According to incomplete statistics, after this chasing army of over a hundred people entered the Flaming Forest, player deaths in the Flaming Forest immediately increased. As for whether someone was secretly playing tricks, it was impossible to investigate for the time being.

"Where the hell did Lord Grim go?!" The chasing squad couldn't find Lord Grim and his party for a long time, and complaints rose and fell within the team.

"If we can't find him, it at least means he's deliberately avoiding us, so he can't level up in peace. We've still achieved our goal, haven't we?" Chen Yehui said, appeasing the anxious emotions of the crowd. He himself wasn't anxious at all; he even wanted to sing a song to praise the current situation.

The major guilds had all suffered blows, and Ye Qiu had also been greatly restricted. This lose-lose situation was perfect for him. He wanted nothing more than to see such a situation.

"There's nowhere to level up anymore. What is that guy doing online? Why doesn't he just log off?" someone said. If Lord Grim wasn't online, they wouldn't have to be so busy and could level up in peace. But he insisted on staying online, forcing them to search and inquire everywhere.

"Everyone, don't waste too much time. Just kill monsters along the way!" someone suggested. So, the united army of over a hundred people hunted goblin monsters together in the Flaming Forest, which was quite a sight. However, with so many people sharing the experience, it could only be described as better than nothing.

And what about Ye Xiu and his party? They were indeed still in the Flaming Forest at this time. The forest terrain was no less labyrinthine than the First Line Gorge, making it very conducive to hiding. Ye Xiu had initially thought ambitiously about whether he could use such terrain to pull off a hundred-man kill. However, after secretly observing the formations of the major guilds, he knew that a hundred-man kill was impossible.

After all, they were a group of experienced players who were becoming increasingly aware of his capabilities and wouldn't reveal too many flaws for him to exploit.

"Leaving?" Su Mucheng asked.

"Not in a hurry," Ye Xiu said while fighting monsters. Their team of three gained experience within the normal range, which was much more efficient than the hundred-man团 (tuan – group/guild). They just had to be careful to maintain a distance from those guys, which wasn't difficult for Ye Xiu. In the game, the movement speed of characters was easy to judge, and the distance between coordinates was a fixed value. Therefore, it was easy to grasp the time aspect as well. This was also why Ye Xiu could always easily escape pursuit.

Ye Xiu was very clear about how long it would take for an opponent to reach him once they were within his field of vision.

At this time, the three of them fought and retreated, not too close to the pursuing hundred-man army, but not too far either, always maintaining a distance that wouldn't expose them, and occasionally observing the progress of their opponents. In this way, the three of them roamed a large circle around the Flaming Forest. The hundred-man army kept them at a distance, chasing them across many areas.

"What exactly is your scheme?" Su Mucheng asked.

"I want to see if the Flame Witch Kashu is there," Ye Xiu said.

"It shouldn't have been refreshed yet, right?" Su Mucheng said.

"Yeah, but it should be soon," Ye Xiu said.

There was also a榜单 (bangdan – list) for wild Boss kills. Currently, their previous kill record was the only one on the list, meaning that the Flame Witch Kashu had only been killed once so far. It had been several days since the last time, and the major guilds had already entered the level 33 area. At this level, they would come to the Flaming Forest to level up and would pay close attention to the Flame Witch Kashu's respawn. There was no second kill record so far, indicating that the Flame Witch Kashu hadn't respawned since the last kill.

Since the respawn had no rules other than three times a week, it wasn't impossible for a Boss to be killed on Monday and not respawn until Sunday, but it was relatively rare.

The Flame Witch Kashu hadn't respawned for many days at this time, probably due to such a small probability event. However, within a week, as long as the third kill wasn't completed, the respawn was 100% certain. That is to say, as long as a Boss had been killed once or twice, it would definitely respawn a second or third time on Sunday, even if it was in the last second. However, in this case, if it was only the second respawn, the third time might be tricked. If the system played such a rogue move, no one could do anything about it. However, so far, there had been no case where a map Boss was only killed twice in a week, with the third time being skipped in such a sneaky way.

At this time, it was already the weekend, and the second respawn of the Flame Witch Kashu, which hadn't been seen for a week, was obviously getting closer and closer.

The three continued to kill monsters, run, and chat, constantly looking around for the Flame Witch Kashu. But besides that, Ye Xiu also paid attention to the actions of those players who were fighting monsters.

As the saying goes, "Kung fu doesn't fail those who put their heart into it." After continuously leveling up like this, Ye Xiu finally made a discovery.

"This way!" Ye Xiu suddenly called out to the two of them, suddenly changing the direction of their advance.

"What?" Su Mucheng asked.

"Go take a look at those two players," Ye Xiu said.

Su Mucheng looked ahead and saw the "two players" Ye Xiu was talking about. They had the same guild tag and weren't leveling up in the same area, but from their current location, they saw the two of them, appearing and disappearing in the forest, rushing in the same direction, and at full speed.

"The Boss has spawned!" Su Mucheng also realized something.

"Most likely," Ye Xiu said. The three of them stopped killing monsters and followed the direction the two were running in.

Clearly, these two guild players were afraid of having discovered the Flame Witch Kashu. That's why they hurriedly gathered people, wanting to kill the Boss before anyone else found it.

Ye Xiu had been paying attention to all of this along the way and finally discovered the clues at this moment.

They continued to give chase, naturally avoiding the annoying hundred-man army. Deep within the Flaming Forest, a团 (tuan – group/clump) of fire gradually appeared. The closer they got, the clearer the sound of battle became.

Finally, in an open space in the forest, Ye Xiu and his party saw a guild besieging the Flame Witch Kashu. There were six people in total, including the two they had been following all the way.

"It's He Wu's people," Su Mucheng said.

He Wu was naturally also a club in the Glory Alliance. A very middle-of-the-road team, they also had a guild in the online game like every other club. Although it was far from comparable to the three major guilds, it was much stronger than many entertainment guilds established by players themselves. After all, every club would have its fixed fans, and if they joined the game, they would undoubtedly choose to join the guild of the club they supported. Ordinary player guilds simply couldn't match this kind of appeal.

Baozi Invasion saw that there were six people again, just like the situation last night, and immediately got excited: "I know, when they're about to kill the Boss, we'll jump out, take out those six first, and then kill the Boss, hahaha."

"Haha, you're learning fast!" Ye Xiu said.

"Of course," Baozi Invasion said smugly.

"But we're not doing that this time," Ye Xiu said.

"Ah?"

"This time, we're going to be true, good audience members," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?"

"You two hide well. I'll go take a look around," Ye Xiu said. Lord Grim turned around and disappeared into the forest again. Before long, Su Mucheng and Baozi Invasion heard a shout from the depths of the forest: "Lord Grim is over there!!!"

The forest seemed to suddenly become lively. The crisp sound of footsteps on withered branches and leaves grew louder and closer. Lord Grim's figure soon reappeared in their field of vision.

"Quick, quick, hide!" Ye Xiu called out to the two of them.

The members of the He Wu guild, who were focused on killing the Boss, had added two more people to their team, expanding it to eight. However, they quickly noticed the extremely crisp sound of footsteps.

Hearing the sound but not seeing anyone meant that the distance was still a bit far, but the sound could still be heard, which meant that the sound was loud and there were a lot of people.

The eight people immediately became anxious. They hadn't been killing the Boss for very long! How could someone have found them so quickly? The eight people hurriedly killed the Boss, trying to find a place to hide, but it was too late. Many figures quickly appeared in the forest, getting closer and closer to them.

These people approached, looked around, and then collectively exclaimed in surprise.

"Flame Witch Kashu!!!"

Countless voices were filled with the same surprise. This harvest was too unexpected. Everyone's attention shifted to this side. Where did Lord Grim go? No one cared about it for a moment.

Subsequent troops also arrived continuously. They had originally planned to surround Lord Grim, but at this time, they surrounded the Flame Witch Kashu instead, as well as the eight members of the He Wu guild who were fighting the Flame Witch Kashu.
