Hu Die Lan
Chapter 225 A Wall Away
"The guild leader's arrived and the Boss has been aggroed, but this message from Lord Grim is too insidious. We have to lead the Boss deeper to hide." The man replied.
"Sigh!" Ye Du Han Tan could only sigh. No one could stop a player who wanted to kill a Boss. Fortunately, the guild players guarding the entrance of the canyon listened to Chen Yehui's advice to stop. Ye Du Han Tan was grateful that this guy could be so rational at this time.
"Judging from the time, if Lord Grim and the others are continuously running dungeons, then their third run should be almost over now. So, the people outside the dungeon must not leave. Keep your eyes wide open." Chen Yehui said to everyone while secretly sending messages like crazy: "Coordinates 2441, 3212, is there anyone who can go over there and take a look for me?"
Chen Yehui wasn't short on manpower. He had invested a lot in the tenth server, so there were many experienced players. He had already reassigned a similar number of people to suppress Lord Grim, but he still had a considerable number of elite experts running dungeons and leveling up.
Chen Yehui was hiding his strength, so a significant portion of his subordinates hadn't even joined the Jia Dynasty guild. But these guys outside the guild were undoubtedly the most loyal veterans of the Jia Dynasty.
At this time, while he was telling the people from the other six guilds "This is Lord Grim's conspiracy," he was secretly, with a "better safe than sorry" mentality, sending his own people in First Line Canyon to scout the coordinates 2441, 3212.
However, as far as he could see, only the hundred or so people at the entrance of the canyon were under his control. As for whether the other six guilds were also superficially complying with him, he had no way of knowing. What's more, the message had been released to the world. He could appease the people in front of him, but he couldn't appease the people of the world. At this time, anyone alive in First Line Canyon was definitely heading towards that coordinate. Chen Yehui estimated that after a while, people from other guilds, such as Blue Brook Guild, would have to come and report.
In First Line Canyon, Tang Rou also saw the world message and asked Ye Xiu, "Is this your method?"
"Yeah, scare them," Ye Xiu said.
"Scare who?"
"Scare whoever is attacking the Boss."
"Oh?"
"These coordinates aren't the real Boss location, but if they continue along the canyon they're in, they'll be close enough. Now, the players in the canyon are definitely heading in that direction, so they'll have to find a place to hide the Boss." Ye Xiu said.
"Is that so..." Tang Rou replied, while hearing the faint sounds of battle getting closer and closer. It seemed to be coming from the guys killing the Boss on the other side of the mountain wall.
"Seems like they're coming over," Tang Rou said.
"Mm."
"We... won't be discovered here, right? Where should we hide?" Tang Rou's Soft Mist circled around, looking at the terrain.
"No need. They'll definitely go straight. If we're here, we might bump into players coming from the dungeon. They're hiding from people. The road the Boss came from is more suitable." Ye Xiu said.
Sure enough, the sounds of battle became clearer and clearer. None of the three dared to say more. Soon, they saw the silhouette of the Boss, Rock Wastrel Ou Ban, flying out of the intersection. Six players from Tyrannical Ambition quickly surrounded him, using knockbacks, knockups, and various movement-altering attacks to push Rock Wastrel Ou Ban towards the depths of the canyon. As expected, they didn't even look at the fork in the road here. However, the three didn't dare to show their faces, fearing they would be discovered. They were all glued to the mountain wall.
"See, wouldn't it be easier to go over there?" Ye Xiu said with a smile.
Tang Rou took a look at the terrain. In the middle of the canyon, there was a bulge that got higher and higher, dividing the canyon like a highway into two lanes. Before the two sides were completely unable to cross, there was a long stretch where the two canyons could be connected by wall jumping. At this time, the people from Tyrannical Ambition were pushing the Boss towards the right canyon, so the three of them could hide in the left canyon without any worries.
"Going further up on that side would provide good cover!" Ye Xiu finally achieved his goal. He only used a small world message. But knowing the players' psychology, he had completely anticipated the actions of the Tyrannical Ambition Boss-killing team after such a message.
"We'll go over after they go further away," Ye Xiu said.
"Okay," Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion responded in unison.
The people killing the Boss were naturally Jiang You and his five companions, along with the player who discovered the Boss. After Lord Grim sent the message, Jiang You cursed while immediately commanding everyone to move the Boss. There was no doubt that a large number of players would flock to those coordinates, but there was definitely no Boss there. But since they were already there, the players would definitely search around.
Jiang You understood the players' mentality too well, so he hurriedly drove Rock Wastrel Ou Ban away like a flock of sheep. The further away from the coordinates, the safer it was. Moreover, the flow of players in First Line Canyon would soon increase greatly. They might bump into someone, so they had to find a deserted place.
At this time, Jiang You was also guiding the others while looking at the map, leading them to kill their way over, but it just happened to fall into Ye Xiu's design.
Jiang You and the others were indeed top experts from the Heavenly Domain. They were beaten to the ground by Ye Xiu, but they still showed their skill when it came to fighting map Bosses. After choosing the "right" route, they efficiently pushed the Boss all the way forward, and in the blink of an eye, they were pushing it further and further away on the right-hand canyon.
"Let's go." Ye Xiu called out. Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion followed behind Lord Grim, and also crawled out from behind the mountain wall where they had been hiding for a long time. They crawled into the canyon on the left.
The mountain wall that separated the left and right sides was initially not high or steep. The three climbed up side by side, and each showed half of their heads to take a look. They found that Tyrannical Ambition was efficient. At this time, they had already run so far that they couldn't even see the IDs above their heads.
So the three characters crawled horizontally along the wall. Ye Xiu reminded the two not to keep showing their heads. The people below were fighting, and their viewpoints were constantly changing. You couldn't predict when they would suddenly look up.
The ones walking on the earthen slope were still faster than the ones driving the Boss. Soon, the three caught up with the group's progress. Tang Rou couldn't wait to let Soft Mist show her head to take a look. Only then did she see the IDs of the five newcomers.
"It's that team from earlier!" Soft Mist immediately retracted her head after showing it.
"Oh, that team? Their level is quite high." Ye Xiu said.
"Boss," Steamed Bun Invasion called out.
"Mm?"
"If I jump down from here, will I die?" Steamed Bun Invasion was looking down at his feet, studying the height of the hillside. The earthen slope was getting higher and higher, and it was no longer the height it was when the three had first climbed up.
"Not die, but you'll be half-dead!" Ye Xiu said.
"How high will I die from falling?" Steamed Bun Invasion asked.
"I'll tell you when you're about to die," Ye Xiu replied.
"What slope degree allows a character to stand steadily on such a slope?" Tang Rou also asked a question, which had a bit more technical content compared to Steamed Bun Invasion.
"Oh, you noticed that. But there's no standard for this. It depends on the terrain. In First Line Canyon, it won't work above a 70-degree angle." Ye Xiu said.
"Did you specially study all this data?" Tang Rou asked.
"Of course." Ye Xiu nodded, "The impact of the slope on the character's movement speed is in a post in the strategy guide I helped you organize. That guide explains this in detail."
"Is that so? I haven't seen it yet!" Tang Rou said.
"Take your time," Ye Xiu said.
The three chatted like this, occasionally peeking at below. The raised earthen wall gradually got higher and wider. In the end, the three jumped up and stood directly on top of it. They could run a few steps to the left and right without any problems.
"Going along this all the time, wouldn't that lead out of First Line Canyon?" Tang Rou asked.
"It'll be gone after walking a bit. This is just a small hilltop in the canyon," Ye Xiu said.
After climbing the small hilltop for a while, Ye Xiu called out to the two: "Alright, we have to go down now. The slope isn't steep enough anymore. Steamed Bun, look, at this height, jumping directly to the ground is enough to kill you."
"Oh oh." Steamed Bun Invasion stuck his head out to admire the height, but then he discovered that there were also people in the canyon on the left side of the hillside, and there were quite a few of them. However, they were all running with their heads down and didn't notice the top of the hill.
"Hmm, players from the dungeon," Ye Xiu said after glancing at them.
"Won't they discover the Boss?" Tang Rou said.
"They still have to go to those coordinates. What were they again? I forgot." Ye Xiu said.
So the three stood on the high ground, watching the group searching for the Boss on the left and the group fighting the Boss on the right pass by each other. They couldn't imagine that the distance between them was so close at this time, but unfortunately, there was a small hillside in between.
The players rushing from the dungeon in that direction to the coordinates were relatively far away, and had only reached this place now. Some players who were leveling up nearby or forming teams near the dungeon entrance had already arrived at the coordinates. After not seeing the Boss, they had shouted several times in the world.
The players who arrived at the coordinates knew that there was no Boss there. The players who hadn't arrived at the coordinates mostly didn't believe it after seeing someone say that, and still rushed towards that location.
2441, 3212.
This coordinate point and the surrounding area of First Line Canyon were becoming more and more lively. Those who hadn't arrived were rushing here, and those who had arrived were searching for the Boss's figure. Those without teams were asking to form teams, those with teams were asking for even bigger teams, and those with teams that couldn't get any bigger were asking to form groups...
There were already some voices of doubt about Lord Grim in the world. On Ye Xiu's side, he had already taken Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion, found a chance that Jiang You and the others couldn't see, slid down the small hillside, and then rolled into a pit on the side.
"Let's squat here for now. I'm going to the bathroom," Ye Xiu said.
"I'll go get some water," Tang Rou said.
"Then... what should I do?" Steamed Bun Invasion was thinking, but the other two were already gone.
Jiang You and the others were having a hard time killing the Boss. Although they were experts, the map Boss was the strongest among the Bosses, and it wasn't easy to deal with. In addition, the others were very worried, fearing that the situation would become chaotic if they were discovered, and their hard work would be in vain...

Today was miserable! After waking up in the afternoon, I found that last night, I didn't know if I hadn't saved the chapter I was about to finish writing, but when I opened the document, there were only three hundred words... More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
