Despite the increased pressure, the seven guilds still persevered. They felt like Blue Brook Pavilion and Tyrannical Ambition had helped Lord Grim discover their whereabouts, so the situation hadn't changed much. It was just that they had made a mistake by taking the initiative to attack. In the end, it was because they were too weak at fighting in the water, which made it impossible for them to kill their targets quickly and efficiently. They were delayed time after time until Lord Grim arrived to save the day.
The seven guild leaders were great men who knew when to yield and when not to yield. Seeing that this wasn't going well, they looked down on Blue Brook Pavilion and Tyrannical Ambition, while decisively changing their strategy. They continued with their previous strategy of avoiding and no longer took the initiative to attack.
The only ones who were at a loss were themselves. As for Ye Xiu's side, they were completely indifferent. They continued to level, go around, and inquire about the situation. If they encountered something, they would decisively kill it. A bit later, Su Mucheng came online again. As a result, there was another outstanding assassin. The pressure on the seven guilds naturally increased.
As time passed, Ye Xiu and the others were still at ease. Blue Brook Pavilion and Tyrannical Ambition's players were also in high spirits. Against the same Club guilds, this sort of overwhelming advantage that made the other side run as soon as they saw them was something that hadn't happened in a long time. Everyone deeply felt how comfortable it was to be under the shade of a big tree.
Time finally moved towards the wee hours of the morning. It was time for the daily dungeon run. The seven guild players had been tense the entire day. This dungeon run time, which should have been a time for them to focus on, was instead a time for them to rest. In the dungeon, they finally didn't have to worry about sudden ambushes.
"Let's dungeon run!" The elite experts in the various guilds urged.
"We can finally rest … …." The seven guild leaders muttered in their hearts. Of course, they were all part of this elite team. They had endured the entire day together with the others.
"Let's form two four-man teams!" Some of the guild leaders were more humane and gave out orders. Their PVE skills were not a problem. A four-man party could still clear the Instance Dungeon, but there was no hope for them to break the Instance Dungeon record. In their current state, entering a dungeon was like going on vacation. Who would have the energy to go and set a dungeon record?
The leaders of the seven major guilds did not expect that their humanized arrangement would once again bring about a fierce blow to their guilds. Ever since the first Instance Dungeon was cleared, some teams had been ambushed. Facing top experts like Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, they didn't even have the chance to step back into the dungeon and win safety. The two teams were completely defeated by the two of them. At the other dungeon entrances, there were also players from Tang Rou, Thousand Creations, Blue Brook Pavilion, and Tyrannical Ambition waiting to ambush them. Relying on their numbers advantage, they were able to defeat two teams.
A single Instance Dungeon attempt resulted in the annihilation of four parties belonging to four different Guilds. This immediately caused the four Guilds to go into a frenzy. After that, he immediately understood that the other party had begun to quietly monitor the entrances of the various dungeons when the dungeons were about to be refreshed. Seeing their teams enter and exit the dungeon, the other party didn't reveal themselves. Afterwards, the other party would send people to wait for them to finish the dungeon and attack them.
The players from the seven major guilds had been on high alert for the entire day. They were truly exhausted. When dawn arrived, they had only wanted to enter the dungeon to relax. They had been too impatient and too careless. Such a simple method, yet not a single one of them had thought of guarding against it.
But it was too late for regrets. The four guilds that had been annihilated immediately realized that if the other party had such a method, then they might have more than just four dungeon entrances. It was only because of the lack of manpower that they used these four entrances as their main targets. In terms of numbers, the other party had close to 20 players. In theory, it was possible for them to directly grasp the movements of 20 teams.
Thinking of this point, the four guilds that had been annihilated immediately notified their other guilds. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party's arrangements were still empty, they quickly moved to another dungeon entrance.
The other three guilds, whose teams were all safe and sound, received this information too late. Their players had already entered the dungeon for the second time. They wanted to cry, but no tears came out. At this point, it was already too late to move. Forcefully exiting the dungeon would waste a use. Moreover, it would directly count as death. It was definitely not worth it. However, if they killed until the end and came out, they would still suffer losses if they encountered an ambush. At this point, the safest way to avoid the ambush was actually to go offline in the dungeon. However, this dungeon was surrounded by leveling areas. Who knew if the other party would train in this area for the entire night? If they didn't go online and train, their losses would be even greater.
Helpless, these guilds could only take the risk. First, they would clear the dungeon. Then, they would gamble on whether their team's whereabouts had been exposed.
Therefore, when they came out of the dungeon for the second time, the teams that didn't encounter the other party were relieved. The teams that did encounter the other party had no choice but to surrender. This time, two teams were caught after exiting the dungeon and were completely annihilated.
When the seven major guilds saw this, they realized that the other party had indeed hidden their information and came to clean them up again. They hurriedly continued to attack and change locations. The teams that exited the dungeon all adjusted and moved.
They had already done what they could, but they had suffered heavy losses both times. Every team felt uneasy. For them, this was a very simple dungeon. However, someone was so nervous that they made a serious mistake and wiped out a team. It was a pity that Ye Xiu didn't know about this situation. Otherwise, it would have been easy for him. Even if he didn't do anything, he could have drawn a few more "XX" s on his notebook.
When they exited the dungeon for the last time, there were people who were happy and people who were worried. There were still teams that had their whereabouts tracked. Naturally, they were wiped out. The number of deaths during the day reached a climax at night, when they originally thought that they could relax. Everyone from the seven major guilds coughed up blood and their faces turned ashen.
The experience loss from a single death would take a few hours to recover. The seven major guilds' leveling speed had clearly slowed down. The top 100 characters on the level leaderboards had a huge change. Even though luck played a large part in the deaths of these characters, it was still possible to see that the elite characters of the seven major guilds were steadily sliding down the leaderboards.
During the climax of deaths, the record for the three Thousand Waves Lake dungeon runs was finally used up. However, the guilds were already in a mess. What should they do next? Everyone was at a loss. After experiencing this round of attacks, everyone's morale was at an all-time low. Even those who were lucky enough to not be killed during this climax didn't feel any joy in their hearts.
The elite characters were split into two groups. One group had just died and returned to the city after the third dungeon run. Right now, they were listless and didn't even want to go out. The other group was safe and sound. They floated around Thousand Waves Lake like lonely ghosts. They all looked like they were just going to get by.
At this moment, the leaders of the seven major guilds were too embarrassed to say things like "Persevere, persevere". Because after today, was there really any meaning in persevering? Everyone had been very careful and vigilant, but in the end, they were still killed again and again. Even if they had predicted an ambush in the dungeon, it would be very difficult to guard against it.
Just as everyone was feeling hesitant, the guild leaders of the seven guilds in the tenth server all received a message from Lord Grim, "You still want to hold on? Is there any meaning? "
Right! Was there any meaning?
When the seven branch guild leaders received this message, none of them were angry. Instead, they all asked themselves this question. After a moment of silent contemplation, the seven of them all felt that there really was no meaning in persevering.
These guilds' initial goal was to kill Thousand Creations so that Guild Happy wouldn't be able to form a dungeon team that could threaten them. But in the end? Killing Thousand Creations wasn't enough. Now, Happy's counterattack had left them in a state of panic. Right now, their goal was to reduce their losses and survive in Thousand Waves Lake. As for Happy's guild? While continuously attacking them, their dungeon team wouldn't be affected at all by Thousand Creations and Horse Shooter joining the guild in five days.
What was the point of all these guilds being so busy? If they didn't do anything, they could have peacefully leveled. But in the end, they had to bring trouble to themselves and turn a good leveling area into a dangerous place.
Now that their leveling efficiency had been slowed down, they couldn't do anything to Happy's dungeon team. All of their efforts weren't for the sake of obtaining benefits, but rather to avoid losses. And these losses were clearly unavoidable. After today, the losses would be shared among the various guilds. Some guilds had good luck and some had bad luck. Perhaps some guilds would die in anger, while others would be able to secretly laugh. But these days wouldn't end in one day. It might not even end in five days. These days would continue until they leveled up and left the Thousand Waves Lake leveling area.
It wasn't that they couldn't make this choice. They could retreat and go to the lower leveled Sin City, or go to the higher leveled Thousand Waves Lake leveling area, Rocky Mound. However, since these veterans chose to train at the Thousand Waves Lake, it was naturally because it was the most efficient place to train. Taking a step back like this was already a loss.
And now, there were three paths in front of them.
First, they could choose to retreat and go to a leveling area that wasn't as efficient as Thousand Waves Lake, which would cause their leveling speed to slow down.
Second, they could negotiate with Lord Grim. Perhaps they could use materials to exchange for peace like before. They would lose materials, but everything else would be guaranteed.
Third, they could maintain the current situation and continue to bear the pressure and risk. They could hide from Lord Grim and continue leveling at Thousand Waves Lake. As for what the consequences of this choice would be, it was impossible to predict. This choice was based on luck. If Misty Rain was the example, then they would have already suffered a huge loss today. But for Royal Style, compared to the first and second choices, this day was much more economical and practical.
