The ghosts had come so suddenly and so unexpectedly that countless players were at a loss. As a result, Ye Xiu, who was able to calmly and easily kill a ghost, appeared to be extremely tall and imposing. Suddenly, not only the player that Ye Xiu had saved, but all the other players on the street quickly realized that someone had successfully killed a ghost.
It didn't seem like anything had happened.
This scene boosted the confidence of the players. Immediately, many of them picked up their weapons and charged at the strange ghosts around them.
But very quickly, the high spirited shouts turned into cries of despair. Too many players only saw the imposing figure of someone killing a ghost, but they didn't see the ID above this character's head.
Lord Grim, Ye Xiu. These were the people who stood at the top of Glory. How could normal players copy his imposing figure so easily? The strength of a sub-level monster wasn't easy for normal players to deal with.
The entire street instantly turned into a slaughterhouse. The players hadn't been prepared for the difficulty of this Ghost Parade event. Seeing Lord Grim successfully kill the willow monster, the confidence they had built up instantly vanished.
The players screamed and fled, and the stalwart figure who was the only one to kill the Specter became everyone's savior at this moment. They could not help but gather towards this person. When they got closer, they saw this character's name clearly. Only then did they understand what kind of misunderstanding this was.
"God, save us!!" a player yelled out straightforwardly. Being reduced to a weakling in front of God Ye Xiu wasn't shameful. That was what they thought.
"Everyone, calm down!" Ye Xiu yelled. "These ghosts aren't that difficult to deal with. Everyone, pay attention to their weaknesses. Then, choose the type that you can counter and fight! If you really can't deal with them, then work together. "
Yes, if they couldn't beat an opponent one on one, then working together was the easiest way to deal with them. MMOs should be aware of this as well. However, during the event, players still had to weigh the pros and cons of going solo or teaming up before making a decision. As a result, no one immediately teamed up. However, now that they had discovered that the ghosts were not easy to deal with, and with Ye Xiu's reminder, the players immediately started to either call their friends or look for people to form parties with. For a time, Ye Xiu received so many team invites that he couldn't read them all.
As for Imp's weakness …
"What are their weaknesses?" someone asked.
"I'm also studying it." Ye Xiu answered. This was the first time he had seen so many strange ghosts. "Wood is afraid of fire, and fire is afraid of water. This kind of basic principle can't be wrong."
This was something that Ye Xiu had also tested. Just now, the willow tree monster had been burned to a crisp by several low-level fire elemental spells like Flame Bomb. It was far more efficient than using a sword to hack at it.
The players seemed to have realized something, but at this moment, the various ghosts had already surrounded them.
Find the weakness! The players racked their brains, but the first monster to charge at them made them cry. What was the weakness of the wooden barrel?
Burn it with fire?
Considering the material of the wooden barrel, the players with fire elemental attacks tried to attack it. However, the effect was not obvious.
What could it be?
The players were puzzled. Ye Xiu was also sweating profusely. When he mentioned the weakness, it was actually just his speculation. Who knew if all ghosts had it? But now, the players were painstakingly searching for it as if they had received an imperial edict. Ye Xiu suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, someone suddenly shouted in surprise, "Attack the bottom! Attack the bottom of these wooden barrels. Their defense will be lower the closer they are to the bottom! "
Everyone was stunned. Then they realized that as a wooden barrel, if it didn't have a bottom, it wouldn't be able to play its role. So the weakness of these wooden barrel monsters was their bottom?
This was common sense logic. However, the players who figured it out were a little crazy.
But after pinpointing this point, the Players realized that the ghosts were not too difficult to deal with. Soon, the bottom of a pile of wooden barrels was lifted, and the wooden barrel monsters instantly fell to the ground as if they had lost their lives, rolling helplessly on the ground.
"Kill!" This time, the players' morale was truly shaken. They had figured out the trick and were suddenly fearless.
As for Ye Xiu?
His goal obviously wouldn't be so low. While looking for monsters to kill, he had already begun to pay attention to the leaderboards.
The leaderboards were quite dazzling. The event had only just begun, but the pro players had already displayed their strength. The top ten, even the top twenty, were completely monopolized by the pro players.
Troubling Rain, Vaccaria, Cloud Piercer, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, Desert Lone Smoke, Demon Subduer...
In the past, there had been leaderboards, but they hadn't been completely monopolized by the pro players. This was because in the off-season events, the pro players usually didn't control their characters. Usually, it was the guild members who played on their behalf. These guild members were only at the high level of the game. They didn't have the overwhelming strength of the pro players. But right now, it was the summer break. The pro players were personally participating and immediately shone brightly, sweeping across the leaderboards.
Ye Xiu looked at his own leaderboard. He wasn't in the top ten, but he wasn't too far away. Right now, he was ranked 16th. Beside him was a group of pro players, and his points were still jumping up. In the time it took Ye Xiu to look, he had slipped from 16th to 18th, overtaken by Flying Sword and Blossoming Chaos.
"They're all so hardworking!" Ye Xiu mumbled. He couldn't relax any longer. The street he was on had quite a few ghosts, but there were also quite a few players. Fighting with others, no matter how skilled one was, would inevitably decrease efficiency. At this time, it was best to have a quiet place to stay. Ye Xiu regretted that he hadn't found a good place as soon as he logged on. He could only blame his bad luck.
Yes, luck.
In this type of event, skill and strategy were secondary. The most important factor was still luck. Especially for pro players like Ye Xiu, there were no problems with skill. Because of the sharp ghosts, it was only the normal players who panicked.
But now, the normal players had formed teams and supported each other. It was like running a dungeon, and their fighting strength immediately increased. The ghosts on the street were quickly cleared out. Ye Xiu took some time to scan the leaderboards and found that he had already fallen out of the top 20.
The number of ghosts spawned every day was fixed, and they were all killed in one wave. The more he killed, the fewer monsters there were. If he wanted to catch up to the advantage he had in the beginning, he would need even more luck. Today clearly wasn't Ye Xiu's lucky day. After clearing out most of the ghosts on this street, he moved to another area. His killing was intermittent, and he kept falling down the leaderboards. This made Ye Xiu feel even more helpless.
And after moving around a few streets, Ye Xiu suddenly realized that there was a bunch of tails following behind his butt, never breaking.
Yes, it wasn't just one tail, but a bunch.
On a stone bridge in the city, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim helplessly stopped and turned around. He had already memorized many of the names in that group. But these guys were still pretending. Some looked like they were changing equipment, some looked like they were messaging, and some pretended to pass by Lord Grim.
"Which guild are you guys from?" Ye Xiu asked.
No one paid him any attention. Everyone continued to pretend.
"Alright, stop pretending. You, the one who followed me from the clock tower. You, the one who started from the fourth district. You, you were there when I first came to that street, right?" Ye Xiu pointed at a few people's characters. This time, they finally couldn't keep up the act. They all retreated cautiously, and at the same time, sized up the people around them.
"It seems like you guys aren't from the same guild?" Ye Xiu saw them sizing each other up and said.
Still, no one answered. But Ye Xiu didn't need their answers. These guys obviously weren't here to admire a God like him and ask for his autograph. These were clearly people sent by the big guilds to cause trouble for him after discovering his whereabouts. Even if they couldn't stop him, they could at least annoy him and slow him down.
"How unkind! Who sent these people to follow me all the way?! " There was no way to talk to these players, so Ye Xiu could only run to the pro player chat group and denounce the actions of these guilds.
No one paid him any attention.
Everyone was playing the game online, but the pro player group chat was surprisingly quiet. How many years had it been since the pro scene had such a grand occasion where everyone was focused on the game? Ye Xiu was a bit dazed for a moment.
"Wu Chen, have the guild keep an eye on where the pro players of the other teams are." Ye Xiu sent a message to Wu Chen after he returned to the game. In reality, his Lord Grim was in the Happy Guild. If he gave any orders in the guild, it would definitely be effective. However, the guild manager was Wu Chen, especially in a new guild like this. The guild leader's prestige was very important. If the pro players used their own identities to do things beyond their authority, then it would hurt the management of the guild.
"Oh, okay." After Wu Chen received the reply, he immediately sent a message in the guild chat.
The Happy Guild had already reached the ten thousand player limit. There were definitely spies from other guilds among them. Not even five minutes after Wu Chen sent the message, the pro player chat group immediately jumped up with a message.
"Revenge breeds revenge." Wang Jiexi said.
"What time!" Huang Shaotian continued, but of course, four words was too short. Huang Shaotian had his own opinion: "Old Ye, why do you have to do this? How unsightly would it be to give them an eye for an eye!"
"Exactly, exactly. It's rare for there to be an event like this. Harmony is the most important!" Samsara's Jiang Botao also expressed his opinion.
"Then why don't you tell your guilds to stop using their God Skills?" Ye Xiu said.
"Stop stop stop …" The pro players of each guild expressed their opinions. Not long afterwards, Ye Xiu discovered that the anonymous stalkers behind him were gradually dispersing.
"That's enough. Is everything fine now? Everyone is competing harmoniously. Old Ye, you have to work hard! I can't see you on the leaderboards! "Huang Shaotian said. His Troubling Rain was currently in first place. It was rare for him to be so rampant.
But just as he was chatting on QQ, the leaderboards suddenly changed.
"F * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck!!" Huang Shaotian roared in the group. Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer suddenly jumped from third place to first place, pushing Troubling Rain down to second place.
"Heh." It was rare for Zhou Zekai to speak in the group, but he only said one word. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
