None of the players present, be they experts or noobs, had ever seen something like this. 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 mobs 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 in fear, but the players at the front did not panic at all.
They retreated from the mountain path and walked up the slope while fending off the monsterlings' attacks. In an instant, they were already on the battlefield.
Han Family Young Master shook his head with a beer bottle in his hand, "Look at how prepared they are! I knew they'd done this once before. "
"But this formation …" Brother You looked up. The number of monsterlings in front of them was shocking, but they were not much of a threat to the players. After all, the Dark Dragon Mountain Bandits were only level 30, while the players were all level 40, and there were so many of them gathered together. The members of Reigning The Four Seas dodged to the side and opened up the battlefield. The Warriors took the lead, the Mages opened fire, and the Archers used the Arc Arrow Formation that had trapped Gu Fei and Slender Waist Dance in the trenches. Corpses piled up on the ground like a mountain. The old ones were killed, and the new ones fell. All sorts of equipment, items, and coins were scattered all over the place.
"With this formation, Reigning The Four Seas won't have any problems. They don't need our help at all!" Brother You finished his sentence.
Han Family Young Master sneered, "That's because we're prepared this time. The first time, we're probably at a disadvantage here. These monsterlings aren't that powerful, but there are so many of them, and they're so sudden. You'll be caught off guard no matter what! Now that we're prepared, it's naturally easier to block them. "
Reigning the Four Seas was indeed easy to block. The party had set up a pocket formation at the entrance of the mountain path. The NPCs were all stupid and didn't know how to adapt to the situation. They were only focused on advancing bravely and plunged into Reigning the Four Seas' pocket formation. In the pocket formation, the flames of the Mages reached the sky, and the arrows fell like a storm. The little monsters that rushed in 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. At this time, the monsters were in groups of twos and threes. They seemed to be old, weak, and disabled, who had fallen out of the party during the Charge. The players actually had the advantage 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, their eyes widened as they stared at the items dropped by the monsterlings.
The system was fair. Even if they were assassins arranged in the quest chain, they were only Level 30 monsterlings. The large amount of equipment that they dropped was not very useful to Level 40 players.
Although the quality was low, the hillside was full of them, and the quantity was extremely tempting. Suddenly, a few players killing monsterlings on the other side of the hillside approached. Seeing the equipment all over the mountain path, the players were instantly dumbfounded.
They were around Level 30 and had come here to level up. Trash that was not worth the attention of Level 40 players were treasures 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 high-level players was not high-level at all. Normally, if they killed a random Level 30 equipment, they would not want it. There were other Level 30 players nearby, and they would let them pick it up! However, at this moment, the hillside was full of them. If they did not pick up the equipment themselves, wouldn't they be taking too much advantage of the situation?
The gamers were indignant at the thought of this. Hence, they reached out and picked up all the low-level items that they had no intention of taking. Not even a scrap of cloth was left behind. In the end, they glared at the pitiful gamers on the hillside to demonstrate their might. The rookies were at a loss. They didn't know what heinous crime they had committed to make so many people want to kill them with their gazes.
After clearing the battlefield, the party continued forward. Reigning Four Seas did a headcount. Although they had the absolute advantage in the previous battle, accidents were inevitable in such a chaotic battle. For example, if someone accidentally slipped and fell into a pocket formation, they would die.
After a headcount, Reigning Four Seas had lost ten or so players in the chaotic battle. The mercenary group had also lost a few players when they fought back to kill steal. However, the number of mobs at that time was quite small. It was hard to imagine that such a fatal blow could be dealt. Everyone guessed that someone must have looked too much like a bandit, and was surrounded and killed by the others. It was chaotic at that time, and everyone had just joined 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 they were in a different place, with a different monster level, would it still be so easy to ambush them?
It seemed that after this battle, Reigning Four Seas realized that the problem was not as simple as it seemed. That was why he had the idea of finding more helpers. Moreover, they had lost more than ten people in a battle that they were 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 City, they would not be able to quickly replenish their lost members. It would be a huge problem.
The players of the mercenary group were good at thinking. As they walked, they were still thinking about the quest in their hearts.
After a while, they finally reached the mountain path of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
This mountain path was not like the mountain path from before, which was as amiable as the mountain slope when you retreated.
At this time, one side of the mountain path was a cliff, and the other side was a bottomless abyss. Either you hit the wall, or you jump off the cliff. In other words, it was death on either side. How dangerous was this mountain path?
The players were even longer. Those who had never walked this path did not dare to approach the side of the mountain path. If a gust of wind blew and they lost their footing, it would be rumored that they would be blown off the cliff. How embarrassing would that be? It was better to stick to the mountain wall.
Some of the more imaginative players began to worry about what would happen if they were suddenly ambushed by the System.
Although the mountain path and cliff seemed to have no place to hide, if you tried to reason with the System, you would lose. The System would just randomly spawn, and with a flash of white light, the mobs would appear next to you. What could you do to the System? You said it was unreasonable? F * ck, the mobs in the leveling area were all killed this way. Did anyone ask if it was reasonable?
Brother You of the Childe Elite Group was the best at this kind of groundless thinking. At this time, he looked worried and asked the Han Family Young Master: "Say, if the System suddenly spawns a lot of mobs on this mountain path, do you think we'll all be dead?"
"This question is too difficult …" said the Han Family Young Master. "I'm drunk."
"It won't!" June Rain actually spoke. "This is illogical. How can there be mobs here? Crawl 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 need to spawn them. "Brother You replied seriously, and used the principle of farming monsters in the leveling area.
Gu Fei's face was full of tears. Brother You! Trying to talk logic with Little Rain, you've already lost …
Thus, June Rain began to think about the relationship between the leveling area monsters that Brother You mentioned and the current situation. When she thought it through, Brother You had already forgotten about this matter …
"Hey hey, why aren't we moving? Why aren't we moving?"
Suddenly, the team slowed down and stopped in some places. The players were confused, but they quickly quieted down.
This was the advantage of online games. It was so convenient to chat in the channel! It was impossible for something to happen at the front of the team, but the back of the team didn't know about it. There were some questions at the back of the team! The people at the front had already reported back: "The road is broken!"
"The road is broken? What does that mean? "The people who walked this path, such as the people from the Childe Elite Group, didn't understand for a moment.
June Rain reacted quickly and said in a daze: "Has it been refreshed?"
"What the heck! When will we reach Moonlit Night City! "Thin Waist Dance was also shouting! She came from the outer city, so she had walked this path before. With her usual speed, she really couldn't stand the slow advance of the large team, and now they had actually stopped.
The people at the back still didn't understand what "the road is broken" meant. The mountain path was dangerous, and it wasn't easy to squeeze forward, so they could only wait silently. From the messages sent down by the mercenary group leaders, the people at the front of the team said that the problem would be solved soon, and that everyone should wait.
Sure enough, not long after, the team began to move forward slowly again. As they walked, they could hear the exclamations of understanding coming from the front.
It wasn't until Gu Fei and the others reached the front that they understood. The group looked in front of them and said in a daze: "Damn, the road really has been refreshed!"
June Rain was very pleased. In front of them, the Black Dragon Mountain Path that should have existed seemed to have been cut out of thin air, missing a distance of three meters. But at this time, there was a man-made wooden bridge: two long logs of more than three meters were placed on both ends of the road, and on top of the bridge were pieces of wooden planks. This bridge was very simple, and very dangerous. The players on it were all trembling with fear. There was a group of people with ashen faces standing against the mountain wall, looking like they didn't dare to walk on this man-made bridge.
"Tsk, what's wrong with this!" Thin Waist Dance curled her lips and went 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 a piece of wooden plank to study it.
The person in front of her obviously felt the ground under his feet loosening. He turned around and saw that half of his foot was in mid-air, and under his foot was a completely bottomless cliff.
"Ah …" The person instantly felt the ground under his feet was empty, and he couldn't put any strength into it. His legs immediately weakened, and his body very cooperatively swayed, and he fell.
