Falling from the clock tower would deal more damage than any other kind of damage. The players didn't know how much damage it would do to NPCs, but with such a height, the experts were very confident. If a player were to fall head-first, they would fall straight back to Congee City.
Hearing the mournful cries of the fallen Christmas thieves, the players felt their hearts ache. If they really fell, they wouldn't die right away, right? If that was the case, wouldn't Lord Grim be too easy to kill?
Just as they were thinking about this, they saw another ray of light shoot down from the top of the clock tower. It was Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist's Laser Rifle.
This shot was extremely spectacular, but this was a game. The Laser Rifle's visual effects could be seen from the ground, but the damage wasn't that great. The one who had crawled to the front was pushed away by the Laser Cannon and fell from the tower. After that, the damage of the Laser Cannon gradually decreased. In the end, the Laser Rifle pushed three Christmas thieves down. Even though the remaining thieves were hit, they were still firmly clinging to the tower walls.
It wasn't that easy to shoot down monsters climbing the walls. It also depended on the skill's effect. Skills that could blow them away were obviously the best. For example, the knockback effect, like the laser cannons, which were so powerful after charging up, could push a few Christmas thieves down after colliding with each other. The weaker Christmas thieves would be pushed back, but they would still cling to the wall and not fall.
Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng were very clear about this. For a moment, the two used all sorts of effective skills. Layer after layer of Christmas thieves fell down from the top of the clock tower. Every single one of them screamed miserably as they fell down. Those who were about to fall to the bottom, those who fell by half, those who fell by a third, and those who just started to fall … Gradually, the screams of the Christmas thieves who fell joined together like a chorus. Coupled with the sinister atmosphere of the City of Sin, it sent chills down one's spine.
The guild leaders of the various guilds gathered together. Some were helpless, some sighed, and some stared blankly at the sky. After a while, no one said anything.
The one who couldn't sit still the most was Chen Yehui!
This was because the current leaderboards were under his control. Excellent Dynasty's strong investment in the tenth server had already been noticed by the other guilds.
Let alone other guilds, Excellent Dynasty's experts in the Heavenly Domain had suddenly decreased. Even Chen Guo had noticed this. Which of the top guilds didn't have their own spies? Excellent Dynasty's actions were now well known to everyone.
But knowing was one thing. The guilds had their own development plans, so no one immediately followed Excellent Dynasty's lead. And for this year's Christmas event, Excellent Dynasty's glory was limitless in the tenth server, dominating the rankings. The other guilds knew that the situation wasn't right, but they couldn't compete with Excellent Dynasty in this aspect. They were able to see past this and didn't bother too much. Looking at it from another perspective, Excellent Dynasty was indeed famous in the tenth server, but what about in the Heavenly Domain? Without any experts, Zero Wing had fallen behind the other Guilds in this event. In fact, some Player Guilds had even surpassed Zero Wing.
As a result, even though everyone was watching Lord Grim strut around, their moods were completely different. No one was as anxious as Chen Yehui. The other guilds had their benefits cut by Ye Xiu's actions. They weren't like Chen Yehui, directly taking away what he wanted.
"Do you want to start killing as well? We can at least let the Christmas thieves spawn faster. If he keeps killing like this, who knows how long it'll take him. I've already sent people to check. The Christmas thieves didn't fall to their deaths. They're still climbing up. Who knows how many times they'll fall. "
On the president's side, there were already people discussing whether to kill or not to kill. After seeing that even if they didn't kill, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Lord Grim. Quite a few of them had the idea of fighting for time.
"Kill them and give Lord Grim points for free? Then if he gathers again, we'll kill them again? F * ck, disgusting! " At the same time, there were some who didn't agree. For example, Lonely Drink and the other guild leaders didn't have a good impression of Lord Grim.
Chen Yehui wasn't idle either. He wanted to create an alliance to fight against Lord Grim. But this time, he failed. The other guild leaders all laughed and changed the topic. Chen Yehui was well aware that Excellent Dynasty had the most to gain from this Christmas event. As a result, they had the most to lose from this situation. If they succeeded in fighting against Lord Grim, Excellent Dynasty would still gain the most benefits. The other guilds wouldn't want to get involved with them.
Chen Yehui was also helpless in every way! Lord Grim was at the top of the tower. He had no way of dealing with him. He had many experts under him, but no one had a 100% chance of jumping the clock tower. Even if they did, Lord Grim was currently guarding the top of the tower. If they jumped, wouldn't they end up the same as the Christmas thieves?
Chen Yehui gnashed his teeth for a long time, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only hatefully order his subordinates to continue looking for Christmas thieves. The ones that Lord Grim killed would respawn in other parts of Sin City.
The big guilds had already started doing this. Many players had already begun to disperse.
Kill the Christmas thieves that belonged to Lord Grim to speed up the respawn? In the end, no guild did this. Even though this seemed to be the most beneficial method, for Chen Yehui and Lonely Drink, it was as disgusting as eating flies. They really didn't want to do it.
If the guilds didn't want to do it, then even if the guilds wanted to, they would give up. Why? Because if you attacked, your subordinates would have to stay here. On the other hand, the other guilds could scatter their subordinates around the city to chase after the Christmas thieves. It was fine if they helped Lord Grim, but if they stayed behind to kill the Christmas thieves, then the other guilds would take advantage of them. This was what the guilds couldn't accept.
"I say, if we don't kill them, then let's not kill them! Shouldn't we control Lord Grim? Otherwise, when he finishes killing the thieves, he will gather in the city. How are we going to play then? Why don't we take advantage of the fact that he's trapped at the top of the tower and wait for him to come down and kill him? " Blossom Valley's guild leader, Backlight Lamp, said. His guild had been killed by Ye Xiu's team before, so he still bore a grudge!
"Kill him? Where can you kill him? He'll be coming from Congee City soon. Can you lock the gates of Sin City? "Misty Rain's Cang Cang said.
Everyone looked at him and couldn't do anything. It wasn't like they could chase after him like before and send people to chase after him, right? The Christmas event only lasted for 36 hours. It was already halfway through today's noon to tomorrow's midnight. Who had the time to waste manpower?
"F * ck, let's just leave it to fate!" Backlight Lamp, who had suggested this before, saw that there was nothing he could do and left with his people.
The various Guild Leaders sighed as they gradually left the area.
In the plaza below the clock tower, the players from the top guilds seemed to have already left. But at this moment, there were a few players from the guilds on the surrounding streets. They stopped halfway and continued to look back.
"In just a short while, another one has charged up." Blue Brook Pavilion was under the control of the guilds that hadn't completely left. At this moment, Bound Boat was looking at the clock tower and talking to Lan He.
Lan He didn't say a word. His character raised his head. He was clearly also carefully observing. After a while, he said: "That's right."
"So you're saying that Lord Grim might not be able to hold on in the end?" Flower Lantern said as he swallowed his saliva.
And in their group, the players from Blue Brook Pavilion were all drooling, starry-eyed, and messy.
If Lord Grim couldn't hold on, then that meant that all these Christmas thieves would lose their home the moment he died.
Blue Brook Pavilion obviously didn't mind taking them in.
"I'm afraid that we're not the only ones who noticed this." Bound Boat lowered his head and looked around the streets. With Sin City's visibility, one could only see the drizzle and darkness on the other side of the street. It was impossible to tell if there were people or not.
"But since we've all quietly retreated, those who didn't notice probably won't be able to react." Lan He said.
"There's so much. We can't finish it all. Even if we split it among a few guilds, it'll still be a big cup." Bound Boat said.
The drooling and starry-eyed expressions came one after another.
Lan He smiled bitterly: "Our guild can't finish it all, but that guy wants to eat it all by himself."
"He'll stuff himself to death!" Flower Lantern raised his head and said fiercely. He only hoped that these Christmas thieves would hurry up and flood the top of his tower.
"How is it? Can you hold on?" Chen Guo asked worriedly. From the moment he began blocking the Christmas thieves, Ye Xiu's movements had become extremely fast. His character had been shuttling back and forth between the spire of the spire. But seeing Ye Xiu's expression, he didn't seem to be nervous, so Chen Guo couldn't help but disturb him and ask.
"More or less!" Ye Xiu said with a smile.
Right now, he and Su Mucheng couldn't stop for even a moment. These Christmas thieves were climbing up in a circle. It wasn't just one person at a time. Fortunately, the clock tower became sharper the higher they went. By the time they reached the top of the tower, they could only squeeze in five people at most. Otherwise, if it was as big as the base of the clock tower, then they really wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Based on the five people in the circle, Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng divided the top of the tower into five areas, A, B, C, and DE.
"Area B!" Su Mucheng shouted.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim hastily rushed over. A Christmas thief was about to reach them. Lord Grim swung his spear and used a Falling Flower Palm.
"Area D!" Su Mucheng continued to shout.
Lord Grim turned around and ran back. This Christmas thief was a Gunner. As he climbed, he saw Lord Grim's head appear and even pulled out his gun.
Ye Xiu hastily had Lord Grim duck his head and dodge. He reached out and loosened his grip. A grenade fell into the Christmas thief's bosom. Boom!
"Area A!" Su Mucheng shouted again.
"Soon, soon, soon … …" Under the clock tower, in the streets, the Zhuduo players crouched in the darkness and raised their heads, nervously looking forward.
