Ling Yi and the others could not help but laugh when they heard the words of the independent players who had just exited the White Fog Canyon.
In the end, independent players were still independent players. Even though they were only a six-man party, they had still been annihilated by two or three Elite monsters. They were not just weak.
"Guild Leader, you're being too cautious. How can an independent party compare to our strength? If we let Overwhelming Smile take the lead now, won't Overwhelming Smile and the others snatch the Great Lord's spot?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? That's a Great Lord we're talking about."
"Overwhelming Smile has sent over 6,000 players. These players are all elites. Killing a Great Lord will be child's play for them."
"Indeed. Even if the Great Lord is very strong, 6,000 players are more than enough to exhaust it to death."
"I really don't know what the Guild Leader is thinking. Our people are already here, yet we're still foolishly waiting here. I'm afraid that the other Guilds have already killed off most of the Elite monsters inside. I really don't know what we're doing here."
Just as some of Ling Yi's members expressed their opinions about the Shifeng's actions, another team of several hundred players exited the White Fog Canyon.
These players were all well-equipped, and they all wore the same Guild Emblem. It was obvious that they were from the same Guild team.
"What's wrong with these people?"
Everyone from Zero Wing was confused as to why the members of this Guild team were so dejected.
Following which, another large group of players exited the White Fog Canyon. However, the number of players in this group was even greater than the previous Guild team. Compared to the previous team, every member of this team was rushing towards the White Fog Canyon.
Ling Yi and the others, who had been waiting at the White Fog Canyon's entrance, were confused.
What was wrong with these people?
"Something's not right! There seems to be something behind them!" a Level 22 Ranger in Ling Yi's team with the Eagle Eyes Skill said.
Following which, Ling Yi and the others turned to look.
Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.
Previously, they had not been able to get a clear look as they were too far away. However, when they got closer, they finally got a clear look.
Over several thousand Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys were chasing after them. Moreover, their speed was extremely fast. Every one of the Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys looked as if they had gone mad. Their killing intent soared as they roared. The several thousand Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys charged at the players like a tsunami, devouring everything in its path.
[Crimson-eyed Battle Monkey] (Elite Rank, Level 22 HP 16000)
Although the Crimson-eyed Battle Monkey did not have much HP, its four limbs were extremely developed. They were also much taller than players. Not only were they nimble and powerful, but their arms were also naturally long. In addition, they wielded weapons and could wield them as proficiently as players. They were very difficult to deal with in combat.
Among these thousands of Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys, there were also some larger armored Battle Monkeys. These armored Battle Monkeys had scars all over their bodies, proof that they had been through hundreds of battles. Compared to the Elite ranked Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys, these Armored Battle Monkeys were much stronger. Not only were they Special Elites, but they also possessed superior combat techniques. They were much stronger than normal players.
[Armored Battle Monkey] (Special Elite) Level 24 HP: 54000.
Among the thousand or so players who were running for their lives, any player who was caught up to would be killed. Three to five Battle Monkeys pounced on them and hacked them to death. It was impossible for all the Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys to attack at the same time. It could be said that they were quite orderly in battle, and their movements were very intelligent.
This led to more and more players dying.
"Save me, save me!"
"I don't want to die!"
Many players who were caught up to by the Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys began to shout. As for resisting …
Many players had already forgotten. As players of God's Domain had never experienced such a frightening scene before, their legs had long since turned to jelly. At this moment, those who were still running away were already those with good mental fortitude. Those with poor mental fortitude would have long since died.
Although some of these players fought as they ran, there were simply too many Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys. Their efforts were utterly inadequate.
In just a short moment, over a hundred players had died.
In the end, less than 500 players managed to escape from the White Fog Canyon. This incident even implicated the Guild team from before, causing that Guild team to lose over a hundred members.
Seeing such a result, Ling Yi's members, who had been waiting all this time, were completely dumbfounded.
The Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys were simply too frightening!
"Are these really monsters?"
Everyone had the same question in their minds. These monsters were completely different from the monsters they had seen before. The Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys' battle was not considered grinding at all. On the contrary, it was more like a war.
At this moment, those Ling Yi's members who still had some objections fell silent. They were filled with admiration for the Shifeng. If they had not witnessed this scene and had foolishly entered the White Fog Canyon, their fates would most likely not have been much better than those players.
As for the other members, their gazes towards the Shifeng grew even more reverent.
While Ling Yi's members waited quietly, one Guild team after another emerged from the White Fog Canyon. As for independent player parties, there were very few of them. Practically all of them had died inside.
Rather than calling the White Fog Canyon a treasure trove for leveling up, it was more like a gigantic meat grinder.
"Alright, let's go in as well." After the Shifeng finished organizing the map, he immediately said in the team chat, "You've all seen the various Guild teams that emerged from the White Fog Canyon. Many of them had more members than us, yet you've also seen the results. Only half of them made it out alive. You can just imagine how dangerous the canyon is. I hope that you all will listen to my commands and not act on your own. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, I will personally deal with you!"
Hearing the Shifeng's words, everyone could not help but shudder. They could not help but grow even more nervous.
"Since there are no more questions, then follow the groups and formations we previously agreed on," the Shifeng said, nodding his head when he saw that no one had any objections. "Let's go in, then."
After the meteor shower, the White Fog Canyon was no longer an ordinary leveling area. Instead, it was more like a super-large-scale Dungeon. Obtaining the Starfire Ore inside would not be easy. Rather than grinding monsters, it would be more accurate to say that they were fighting a war. Danger lurked everywhere. There was no need to wait for players to discover the Battle Monkeys. The Battle Monkeys had already made preparations to ambush them. Hence, they needed to be careful at all times.
The Shifeng's formation consisted of MTs scattered around, with the healers and ranged classes in the middle. As for the Assassins, they would scout ahead and report their surroundings' movements to prevent the Battle Monkeys from ambushing them.
Under the Shifeng's lead, Ling Yi's team quickly arrived at the White Fog Canyon's inner region.
During this time, the team had fought many battles and killed over a thousand Battle Monkeys. Everyone's EXP bars had increased significantly. In addition, they had also obtained plenty of Level 20-plus Bronze Equipment and materials. Moreover, the team had suffered no losses.
This made everyone admire the Shifeng even more.
Previously, they had thought that the Shifeng was only strong individually. They had never imagined that they were also superior when it came to commanding a team.
"Guild Leader, nearly 300 Battle Monkeys have been spotted on the team's left side. They are currently approaching the team and will arrive in about 30 seconds," Fire Dance, who was in Stealth, reported in the team chat.
"Guild Leader, nearly 400 Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys have been spotted behind the team. There are also over a dozen Armored Battle Monkeys. They will reach the team in about one minute," Flying Shadow, one of the Five Demon Generals, also reported.
Everyone could not help but be shocked when they heard this.
