Chapter 117 What Are You Doing?

“Why aren’t you talking? Why aren’t you talking?” With Huang Shaotian around, wanting to quietly ponder some issues was undoubtedly a luxury. Ye Xiu had only just been thinking for a moment when he was interrupted by this guy’s muttering.

“We’ll talk about it later!” Ye Xiu said. It wasn’t a small matter, and he needed to observe and pay attention.

“Your current situation, saying you want to form a team does sound a bit illusory. But you can prepare more, dig up a hundred or eighty new talents. By then, you can always gather a team to join you. Let’s not talk about anything else, I think that Steamed Bun is easy to fool. I think if you tell him that following you means he can eat steamed buns, he’ll immediately follow you. Climb mountains of knives, jump into boiling oil…” Huang Shaotian said.

“Someone ahead,” Ye Xiu suddenly said loudly to the whole team, interrupting Huang Shaotian’s muttering. The two of them had been speaking in low voices at the very front, and the people behind didn’t know what these two were whispering about.

“Someone? What’s so surprising about that?” Huang Shaotian didn’t think much of it.

“This place shouldn’t have anyone,” Ye Xiu turned Lord Grim’s view around to look around, but there was nowhere to hide. Moreover, they had already seen the other party, so the other party must have seen them too. Although the distance was still far and they couldn’t see their names, if they were from a big guild, they could completely consider them suspicious individuals.

“No way! There might be people here,” Mo Guang suddenly said.

“Oh?” Ye Xiu was surprised.

“Hollow City’s ‘Weiss’s Future’ quest, seventh stage, requires you to find the abandoned windmill on the edge of First Line Gorge, and then come to Kōngzhī Forest to compare the wood grain. If someone is doing this quest up to this stage, then coming from the abandoned windmill, they might be walking this way,” Mo Guang said.

Ye Xiu was bewildered, truly bewildered. His title as the Glory textbook definitely couldn’t be used in the area of system quests.

Weiss’s Future.

Ye Xiu might have done this quest ten years ago, but now he really had no impression of it at all. So he could be sure that this quest would definitely not reward attribute points or skill points, nor would it have any good equipment, let alone any cost-effectiveness in terms of experience rewards, which was why it had been forgotten by efficiency-seeking old players for many years.

“What’s that?” Steamed Bun Invasion asked on behalf of everyone. Of the four professional players present, two were god-level figures, but they were completely unaware of this quest.

This Mo Guang was really amazing. He remembered such an obscure quest and immediately explained it to everyone.

Who else would listen to him? Only Steamed Bun Invasion kept making noises of agreement, which kept Mo Guang from losing interest in continuing to speak. Ye Xiu and the others were already sighing: this Mo Guang, even such obscure and useless things he could remember, was really a waste of talent.

With the clues provided by Mo Guang, everyone didn’t avoid the passerby. Moreover, there was nowhere to avoid in the current situation.

“Kill him?” Huang Shaotian asked.

“Hmm?”

“This person will become a clue, exposing our whereabouts. The people chasing us will definitely ask him when they meet him,” Huang Shaotian showed his meticulous side.

“Forget it! We’ve already reached this place. Even if the other party asks about our whereabouts, they won’t be able to catch up with us,” Ye Xiu said.

“But from this location, the destination will be deduced!” Huang Shaotian said.

“The destination is going to be exposed anyway,” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh?”

“We’ll be on TV,” Ye Xiu said.

“You reminded me… You’re going to First Line Gorge, what am I doing following you guys?” Huang Shaotian jumped up.

“Don’t know.”

“Damn, damn, damn, damn! Get on QQ tomorrow night! I’ll contact you then, meet directly in the arena, I’ll use Night Rain to learn from your unspecialized class,” Huang Shaotian said.

“We’ll see, if I have time,” Ye Xiu said.

“Damn it! My match is worth hundreds of thousands! And you don’t have time to play a match with me?”

“Matches aren’t the focus of my game anymore. You see, I’m very busy now…” Ye Xiu said.

“Damn, then Q me when you’re free, PK! Must PK!” Huang Shaotian said.

“Okay.”

“Everyone, have fun! I’m logging off first,” Huang Shaotian said to the others, and then Flowing Tree logged off directly.

The characters had just taken a few steps forward when a light flashed, and Huang Shaotian’s Flowing Tree actually ran back.

“What are you doing?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Almost forgot something. This greatsword of mine was dropped from someone else. I promised to return it after I finished using it. Come on, send me back to the city,” Huang Shaotian said.

Ye Xiu didn’t waste any words and launched a bunch of attacks, killing Flowing Tree. Before he died, Huang Shaotian said “goodbye” again, and then quickly revived back in the city. Not long after, he logged off again.

Huang Shaotian’s departure also reminded Ye Xiu of something. They were going to the First Line Gorge dungeon, but the team now had one extra person. If the goal was to break records, then clearly Mo Guang’s level was very unreliable. His backwardness in technique couldn’t be corrected by Ye Xiu’s brief pointers. With such a newbie present, breaking records was absolutely impossible.

“Mo Guang, we’re going to First Line Gorge later to run the dungeon and break the record, how about you?” Ye Xiu didn’t beat around the bush and directly told Mo Guang. Mo Guang was an understanding person who knew so much, and Ye Xiu believed he wouldn’t be unaware of how terrible his own skills were.

“Oh, oh… break the record! Then I’ll go study how to run this dungeon for the best results!” Mo Guang said.

“Keep it up, this strategy guide you write this time will definitely be read by many people,” Ye Xiu said.

“Thank you, I’m leaving,” Mo Guang said and logged off.

“First Line Gorge, let’s go,” Ye Xiu called out, and the original five-person group continued towards First Line Gorge. First Line Gorge was not the main leveling area for most players, and it wasn’t as lively as Desolate Land. Especially at this time, most of the players online would go to run dungeons, and there were basically no people wandering around the leveling area to fight monsters. If there were, they would be solo players who couldn’t find a team. These people would obviously not be from the big guilds.

Ye Xiu had anticipated this, so he led the four of them to pay attention to walking in places where there was no one. In the end, the entrance to the dungeon was a bit livelier, with people spamming text bubbles to call for people to form wild teams to run the dungeon. But such places were even harder to be discovered. Mixing into the crowd, with Glory’s first-person perspective, it was extremely difficult to see clearly the id above a character’s head, not to mention with text bubbles flying everywhere.

The five of them entered the dungeon. Meanwhile, the hunting teams of the major guilds were rushing towards Kōngzhī Forest from all directions. There were those who were shaken off by Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan in Desolate Land, those who were shaken off by Steamed Bun Invasion and Mo Guang in Hard Village, and there were also those who failed to intercept Tang Rou in Hollow City and shamefully split off part of their manpower, as well as the revenge legion of 32 people who were wiped out. In addition, there were also many elites from various guilds who had gathered together in various places. At this time, they gathered here, almost surrounding this small forest.

32-man team wiped out…

This news had been known by all the major guilds. Hearing it at first would really scare people to death. These 32 people had only been chasing after Lord Grim, and one person actually wiped out the entire team?

However, even after listening to the detailed report and knowing the various reasons, the high-level members of the major guilds didn’t feel much better.

The strength of Lord Grim’s team was clearly beyond their expectations.

Swordsman Flowing Tree and Battle Mage Soft Mist were the two characters being mentioned with emphasis at this time.

Flowing Tree, a level 27 Swordsman, didn’t fall behind at all against level 33 players, and could even fight two, three, or four people alone… In the final battle, he blew five players into the encirclement with his whirlwind attack, including the guild leader-level Lonely Drink, the strongest among those players.

As for Soft Mist, she charged out single-handedly from the players reserved in Hollow City to deal with Lord Grim’s entire team. Even if she didn’t kill anyone, the combat power she displayed was enough to prove her strength.

The major guilds even had disagreements. The description of the 32-man legion emphasized how strong and terrifying Flowing Tree was, while the players guarding outside the city kept emphasizing how terrifying Soft Mist was. Before they knew it, the two sides seemed to have become fans of Flowing Tree and Soft Mist, arguing over who was stronger.

“Flowing Tree is only level 27! Level 27!”

“Did you know how many people were outside Hollow City at the time? Even if I gave you a level 40 character, you wouldn’t be able to get out!”

These two groups happened to have set off from Hollow City together, so they had been arguing all the way. The brothers of the same guild were almost quarreling over this issue.

Outside Kōngzhī Forest, the elite players of the seven guilds gathered.

Only three guild leaders were present.

Night Cold, Lonely Drink, Chen Yehui.

The other four guild leaders were currently leading their teams in the dungeon! Ye Xiu’s guess was correct. All the major guilds would leave elite manpower to continue leveling, and most guild leaders were happy to play the role of these most elite people.

What about these three people present?

Night Cold was a Knight. In the five-person dungeon team, his MT profession was never a member of the elite record team, so he wasn’t in a hurry to rush his level.

Lonely Drink, he participated in this operation with a bit of personal resentment. As a result, he became a member of the most embarrassing team wipe of 32 people, and he was even stepped on by Steamed Bun Invasion. His resentment was even deeper, so he immediately threw himself into this operation again.

As for Chen Yehui, the initiator of this operation, his purpose was far from as simple as he had described to the guilds.

Hold back Lord Grim’s team from leveling, take back the level advantage, and take the lead in dungeon records. This was the explanation he gave to each guild, and that’s why the several guilds had come together.

Chen Yehui’s hidden intention, however, he didn’t tell any of the guilds, and he couldn’t possibly tell them.

While the major guilds were sending people to hold back Lord Grim’s team from leveling, weren’t they also slowing down their own development? And his Excellent Dynasty had invested more in the tenth server than any other guild, so he dared to delay. His losses could be completely offset by his high investment.
