All the players present, be they experts or average players, had never seen such a scene before. The bandits between the two mountains were like a tide, covering the sky and covering the earth as they rushed to the mountain path where the players were. When had they ever seen such a dense horde of monsters when they were grinding?
The mountain path was not wide enough for so many players to walk side by side. At this moment, more than a thousand players were lined up in a long line. Unhindered Four Seas was at the front, the Mercenaries were at the back, and the Bandits and Highwaymen were at the middle of Unhindered Four Seas' party. The mercenaries at the back were screaming, but the Reigning The Four Seas players did not panic at all under attack.
They blocked the attacks of the monsterlings while retreating up the slope. In an instant, they were already on the battlefield.
Young Master Han shook his head with a beer bottle in his hand, "Look, they're so prepared! I knew they'd done this before. "
"But this formation …" Brother You looked up. The number of monsterlings was shocking, but they were not much of a threat to the players. After all, the Black Dragon Mountain Bandits were only level 30, while the players were level 40, and there were so many of them gathered together. The members of Reigning The Four Seas moved to the side. After opening up the battlefield, the Warriors took the lead, the Mages opened fire, and the Archers fired the Arc Arrow Formation that had trapped Gu Fei and Slender Waist Dance in the gutter. No matter how many of the monsterlings came, they fell. Corpses piled up on the ground. The old ones were killed, and the new ones fell. All sorts of equipment, items, and coins were scattered everywhere.
"With this formation, Reigning The Four Seas will have no problem. They don't need our help at all!" Brother You finished.
Young Master Han sneered, "That's because we're prepared this time. We're probably at a disadvantage the first time. These monsterlings aren't that powerful, but there's a lot of them, and they're coming at you suddenly. You'll be caught off guard! Now that we're prepared, of course it's easier. "
Reigning the Four Seas was indeed easy to block. The party had set up a pocket formation at the entrance of the mountain path, and the NPCs were all stupid and didn't know how to adapt to the situation. They were only focused on advancing forward and plunged into Reigning the Four Seas' pocket formation. The Mages in the pocket formation unleashed their flames, and the arrows rained down like a storm. The monsterlings were killed before they could do anything. There was no suspense at all.
"There's strength in numbers!" The players exclaimed. This was especially true for the professional mercenary group players. Their largest group only had a few dozen people, and they had never seen hundreds of people attacking together. Naturally, they were deeply shocked.
The momentum of the monsterlings gradually weakened. The Four Seas Pocket Formation had been dispelled, and the melee players rushed up the hill to counterattack the monsterlings. The mercenary group finally found a chance to join the fray, and they rushed forward to kill the enemies. Currently, the monsters were grouped in twos and threes, and they looked like the old, weak, and disabled who had fallen out of the party during the Charge. The players actually had the upper hand in terms of numbers. On average, each monster was surrounded by seven or eight melee players, and four or five ranged players.
As the players fought for their lives, they stared at the items dropped by the monsters.
The system was fair. Even if the Assassin was a Level 30 monster, the equipment it dropped would not be of much use to a Level 40 player.
Although the quality was low, they were everywhere on the hillside, and the quantity was extremely tempting. Suddenly, a few players on the other side of the hill approached. When they saw the equipment strewn all over the ground, the players on the mountain path were dumbfounded.
They were around Level 30, and they had come here to level up. Trash that was not worth the attention of a Level 40 player was a treasure in their eyes! Seeing that the players seemed to be very high-level and had no intention of picking up the equipment, the few of them began to gulp.
However, the mentality of the high-level players was not high-level at all. If it was a normal day, they would not want any random Level 30 equipment, and there were other Level 30 players nearby, so they could let them pick it up! However, at this time, the hillside was full of it. If they did not pick it up, and let these few people pick it up, wouldn't that be too much of an advantage?
When the players thought of this, they were indignant. So, they reached out and picked up the low-level items that they had not intended to pick up, not even a scrap of cloth was left. In the end, they even glared at the pitiful players on the hillside to demonstrate their might. The few noobs were at a loss. They did not know what heinous crime they had committed to attract so many people to kill them with their gazes.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the party continued forward. Reigning Four Seas did a headcount. Although they had the upper hand in the previous battle, accidents were inevitable in such a chaotic battle. For example, if someone slipped and fell into a pocket formation, they would die.
After a headcount, Reigning Four Seas had lost a dozen or so players in the chaotic battle. The mercenary group had also lost a few players when they fought back to steal the monsters. However, there were very few monsters at that time, so it was hard to imagine that they could deal such a fatal blow. Everyone guessed that someone must have looked too much like a bandit, and was surrounded and killed by the others as NPCs … It was chaotic at that time, and everyone had just gathered together. They did not know each other, so it was very possible for something like this to happen.
This battle was more daunting than dangerous, but it gave the players a heads up.
Such a large number of monsters was actually quite frightening. However, the players had the level advantage, and Unhindered had been mentally prepared for this. As soon as the battle began, they had immediately occupied the best terrain and arranged themselves in the most logical formation. This made the battle much easier.
If the next time, they were in a different place, with a different monster level, would it still be so easy for them to ambush them?
It seemed that after this battle, Reigning Four Seas realized that the problem was not as simple as it seemed, so he decided to look for more helpers. Moreover, they had lost more than ten players in a battle that they were so confident of winning. It was even more difficult to say if they were ambushed. In the future, when they were too far away from Cloud Peak City, they would not be able to quickly replenish their lost members.
The players of the mercenary group were good at thinking. As they walked, they considered the quest in their hearts.
After a while, they finally arrived at the mountain path of the Dark Dragon Mountain Range.
This mountain path was not like the mountain path from before, which was as amiable as the mountain slope after retreating.
At this time, one side of the mountain path was a cliff, and the other side was a bottomless abyss. It was either run into the wall or jump off the cliff. To put it simply, it was death on either side. How dangerous was this mountain path?
The line of players was even longer. Those who had never walked this path didn't dare to get close to the side of the mountain path. If a gust of wind blew and they lost their footing, they might be blown off the cliff in the future. How embarrassing would that be? It was safer to stick to the mountain wall.
Some of the more imaginative ones began to worry about what would happen if they were suddenly ambushed by the System.
Although the mountain path and cliff looked like there was no place to hide, if you tried to reason with the System, you would lose. It would just randomly spawn monsters, and with a flash of white light, the monsters would appear next to you. What could you do to the System? You said it was unreasonable? F * ck, the monsters in the leveling area were all killed this way. Did anyone ask if it was reasonable?
Young Master Elite Group's Brother You was the best at this kind of groundless thinking. At this moment, he asked Young Master Han with a worried expression, "Say, if the System suddenly spawns a lot of monsters on this mountain path, will we all be crippled?"
"This question is too difficult …" Young Master Han said, "I'm drunk."
"It won't happen!" June Rain actually spoke. "This is illogical. Why would monsters appear here? Come out from the rocks? "June Rain said as she touched the cliff, looking for a gap that people could crawl out from.
"There's no need! We just have to spawn them. "Brother You replied seriously, and used the principle of farming monsters in the leveling area.
Gu Fei's face was covered in tears. Brother You! Trying to talk logic with Little Rain, you've already lost …
Thus, June Rain started to think about the relationship between the leveling area monsters and the current situation. When she thought it through, Brother You had already forgotten to talk to her about it …
"Hey hey, why aren't we moving? Why aren't we moving?"
Suddenly, the team slowed down, and some places stopped. The players were confused, but they quickly quieted down.
This was the advantage of online games. It was so convenient to chat in the chat channel! It was impossible for something to happen at the front of the team without the team at the back knowing about it. The people at the back had just started to have doubts! The people at the front had already reported back, "The road is broken!"
"The road is broken? What does that mean? "The people from the Young Master Elite Group who had walked this path didn't understand.
June Rain reacted quickly, and said blankly, "Has it been spawned?"
"Stop wasting time! When will we reach Moonlit Night City! "Thin Waist Dance also shouted! She came from the outer city, so she had walked this path before. With her usual speed, she really couldn't stand the slow progress of the large team, and now they actually stopped.
The people at the back still didn't understand what "the road is broken" meant. The mountain path was dangerous, and it was not easy to squeeze forward, so they could only wait quietly. From the message passed down by the mercenary group leaders, the people at the front said that the problem would be solved soon, and they should wait for a while.
As expected, not long after, the team began to move forward slowly again. As they walked, they listened to the exclamations that seemed like they had just realized something.
Gu Fei and the others only understood when they reached the front. The group looked ahead and said in a daze, "Damn, the road has really been spawned!"
June Rain was proud. In front of them, the Black Dragon Mountain Path that should have existed seemed to have been cut out of thin air, and there was a gap of three meters. However, there was a wooden bridge built on it: two long logs that were more than three meters long were placed on both ends of the road, and there were pieces of wooden planks laid on top of them. The bridge was simple and dangerous, and the players who walked on it were all trembling with fear. There was a group of people with ashen faces standing against the mountain wall, and it seemed like they didn't dare to walk on the man-made bridge.
"Tsk, what's wrong with this!" Thin Waist Dance curled her lips and walked on the bridge. Her speed was very fast, and she passed a few people in an instant. This undisciplined behavior of crossing the bridge scared the people on the bridge.
Then, June Rain also stepped on the bridge.
"This quest is really fun!" June Rain was excited, and she bent over to lift up a wooden plank to study it.
The person in front of her obviously felt that the ground under his feet loosened. When he turned around, he saw that half of his foot was in mid-air, and there was a completely bottomless cliff below his feet.
"Ah …" The person immediately felt that there was nothing under his feet, and he couldn't put any strength into his legs. His body swayed, and he fell down.
