Nie Yan discovered that he had underestimated the strength of his teammates. Take Daidou Dage Qi Zai for example. He usually specialized in healing and Nie Yan had never seen him PK before. Therefore, Nie Yan wasn’t sure about his PK skills. Now, he got to witness them.

Despite being chased by four thieves, he wasn’t flustered at all. He inflicted Fear on the closest thief, a curse on the second, and then used Holy Shield to defend. With his skills, he could easily PK two or three thieves.

His technique was clearly no worse than some mages who specialized in PK. Before, he thought that Daidou Dage Qi Zai only needed to hold out for a while, not getting killed within a dozen seconds, and he would have a chance to kill those thieves. He didn’t expect Daidou Dage Qi Zai to be able to do so much. He now had a more intuitive understanding of Daidou Dage Qi Zai’s strength. After all, he was one of the seven great priests of the previous life. It would be strange if he didn't have some skills.

A priest had to be like Daidou Dage Qi Zai, unafraid of PK, to truly grow. It was completely unacceptable to only think about relying on teammates when encountering danger.

“They’re catching up, let’s hurry and run,” Nie Yan said. There was no time to pick up the equipment on the ground. These people from Zongheng Tianxia probably wouldn’t drop any good equipment anyway.

Relying on their knowledge of the terrain, Nie Yan and the others sometimes passed through lava caves to launch sneak attacks on Zongheng Tianxia, and sometimes weaved through the jungles, playing cat and mouse with them. The people from Zongheng Tianxia couldn’t do anything about it.

Nie Yan and the others killed more and more, their eyes bloodshot.

On the official website, messages kept appearing.

‘10:29, kill count 278’

‘10:58, kill count 308’

‘11:27, kill count 323’

…

Although the increase wasn’t as much each time, and not as terrifying as before, it was still extremely astonishing. The number of deaths in Zongheng Tianxia steadily rose, while none of the ten people in Nie Yan’s group had died. Before, the players only admired Nie Yan and the others, but now they truly revered them. Ten people were able to push a guild to such an extent. Niu Ren Tribe was truly fearsome.

The people of Zongheng Tianxia were terrified. They were on edge, not knowing when or where Nie Yan and the others would appear.

Nie Yan and the others were like ghosts. Each time they appeared, they would kill a dozen or twenty people, and then when the people from Zongheng Tianxia surrounded them, they would find that the other party had disappeared.

“Damn it, how are they doing it!” Hei Zhuo was furious, jumping up and down, looking at the constantly rising casualties, he was extremely frustrated.

Yu Long calmly thought for a moment. This was no longer something that invisibility potions could do. The problem might be in the lava caves beneath them. Could it be that these people had some way to cross the lava caves below?

The people of Zongheng Tianxia were too weak and too few in number to control the entire Molten Fire Forest. They couldn’t stop Nie Yan and the others’ sneak attacks at all. Zongheng Tianxia was in an impossible situation. If they retreated from the Molten Fire Forest, they would become a laughing stock.

As for the mastermind behind this, Kaixuan Empire, it would also be shamed because of Zongheng Tianxia. Who couldn’t see that Zongheng Tianxia was being manipulated by Kaixuan Empire behind the scenes? After this incident, Kaixuan Empire’s reputation would fall to its lowest point, while their opponent, Niu Ren Tribe, would grow in prestige. Given Niu Ren Tribe some more time, Kaixuan Empire would truly have to step down.

Yu Long thought for a moment. Letting Zongheng Tianxia continue like this, the kill count of those ten people would only increase. If it exceeded a thousand, it would undoubtedly establish the reputation of Niu Ren Tribe! A thousand-man slayer! How much of a reaction would that cause on the official website!

Yu Long discussed it with Po Tian. It was time for Kaixuan Empire to take action. Even if they couldn’t surround Nie Yan and the others, they had to completely drive Nie Yan and the others out of the Molten Fire Forest, and not let them continue to run rampant in the Molten Fire Forest!

Nie Yan and the others hunted down more than a dozen more people from Zongheng Tianxia, and then retreated. They prioritized stability, killing some people from Zongheng Tianxia each time, and then leaving immediately, never lingering.

At this moment, Nie Yan’s voice channel rang.

“You guys get out of the Molten Fire Forest quickly!” Guo Huai sent a message to Nie Yan.

“What’s wrong?” Nie Yan asked. If something urgent hadn’t happened, Guo Huai wouldn’t be so nervous.

“A large number of Kaixuan Empire players have begun to enter the Molten Fire Forest. They’re heading towards you,” Guo Huai said. He couldn’t help but worry about the situation of Nie Yan and the others. Now, the safety of Nie Yan and the others was affecting the hearts of all the players in Niu Ren Tribe.

Hearing Guo Huai’s words, Nie Yan’s eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent flashed across them. He had finally made such a big commotion, and finally lured the people from Kaixuan Empire here. The people from Zongheng Tianxia were just Kaixuan Empire’s pawns. Even if they killed more people from Zongheng Tianxia, Kaixuan Empire wouldn’t feel the pain. This time, the real master had finally arrived.

“Don’t worry, we won’t be caught so easily,” Nie Yan said with a smile, casually glancing at the Niu Ren Tribe’s group chat, countless Niu Ren Tribe players were supporting Nie Yan and the others, and calling for Nie Yan and the others to return.

Knight’s Elegy: A letter to Boss Nie Yan, respected Boss Nie Yan, please come back quickly, in the eyes of all the guild brothers, your safety is the most important thing. You have already killed more than five hundred Zongheng Tianxia bastards, you are the glory of Niu Ren Tribe...

Sugarcane: Boss, come back quickly, we miss you...

And so on, although under Guo Huai’s suppression, the players of Niu Ren Tribe no longer thought about forming groups to rush into the Molten Fire Forest, they were still very worried about the safety of Nie Yan and the others.

Nie Yan smiled after reading the words of the players in the guild.

“The people from Kaixuan are here?” Daidou Dage Qi Zai looked at Nie Yan and asked.

Nie Yan nodded.

“How many people are they?” Cui Can Dao Guang was stunned for a moment, and asked.

“About twenty or thirty thousand,” Nie Yan said. If there were twenty or thirty thousand Kaixuan players, they could almost control the Molten Fire Forest. It would be basically impossible for Nie Yan and the others to successfully launch a sneak attack.

With such a huge number of Kaixuan players setting up defenses in the Molten Fire Forest, how could they dare to go and sneak attack them? If they were discovered by the people from Kaixuan, where could they escape to?

Nie Yan wouldn’t be so stupid as to hit a stone with an egg.

“What should we do next, should we go back?” Daidou Dage Qi Zai asked. Sometimes, taking a step back was also a strategy. They had already achieved such great results. Even if they retreated, Niu Ren Tribe would still win, but if all ten of them died here, it would be equivalent to Kaixuan Empire taking back a game.

Each of them had at least fifty kills, and some even had over a hundred. If they were killed, they might lose five or six levels. This loss was too great.

“I’ll send you back,” Nie Yan said with a smile. These people were all elites of the guild. Losing one of them would be a huge loss for the guild.

Daidou Dage Qi Zai frowned, trying to figure out what Nie Yan meant. Could it be that Nie Yan wasn’t going back?

“What are you planning?” Cui Can Dao Guang asked. Could it be that Nie Yan was planning to deal with the people from Kaixuan alone?

“Don’t worry, I won’t joke with my levels and equipment,” Nie Yan said. He already had a plan in mind. The previous series of actions were just the prelude to this plan.

Kaixuan Empire, feel the anger of Niu Ren Tribe!

“Nie Yan, I’ve got my eyes on Kaixuan Empire’s elite squad, they’re heading into the Shadow Swamp!” Guo Huai said excitedly. It was rare to get a hold of the movements of Kaixuan Empire’s elite squad. They just happened to be heading into the Shadow Swamp at this time.

“Has the Thief Squad been formed yet?” Nie Yan asked. Guo Huai’s actions shouldn’t be that fast.

“It hasn’t been formed yet, but there are already more than fifty people. They’re all thieves who have performed well in the past. But they should be enough to deal with Kaixuan Empire’s elite squad. Even if they can’t kill them all, they’ll have to make them shed a layer of skin, don’t let them think that Niu Ren Tribe is easy to bully,” Guo Huai said confidently. These fifty-plus thieves were all elite forces of the guild, and had all signed agreements. They had already received the best equipment in the guild, and their PK skills were definitely not weak.

“If it’s not a suitable opportunity, don’t act rashly, lest you startle the snake!” Nie Yan said. Since Kaixuan Empire dared to attack Niu Ren Tribe’s elite squad, their own elite squad must be very vigilant, and not easy to catch, so if they didn’t act, they wouldn’t, but if they did, they had to kill with one blow!

“I understand that,” Guo Huai said.

Nie Yan and the others entered the lava cave, and then walked towards the exit outside the Molten Fire Forest.

“Be careful on the way, you might encounter people from Kaixuan Empire, it’s best to find a place to hide first,” Nie Yan said to Daidou Dage Qi Zai and the others, then turned to instruct Sun: “You have to pay more attention, you’re the only thief, help them scout the way.”

Sun nodded heavily: “Don’t worry, Brother Nie Yan.”

“If all ten of us are unscathed, alive and kicking, the people from Kaixuan Empire would probably be so angry that smoke would come out of their ears,” Xia Chong Yu Bing said with a smile. The atmosphere was much more relaxed.

“We made a big profit this time, bringing back 567 of them, and not one of us died,” Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan said.

Weaving through the dark caves, hot air from the ground kept rising, and the air was scorching hot.

“This damn place is too hot,” Hei Bai and the others couldn’t help but complain.

“This is a good place,” Nie Yan said with a mysterious smile, but didn’t say anything more.

The numerous poisonous snakes and flies retreated one after another, and the group quickly left the Molten Fire Forest area, and were soon approaching the exit outside the Molten Fire Forest.

Inside the Molten Fire Forest, countless people from Kaixuan had gathered, as many as twenty or thirty thousand. The entire forest was full of Kaixuan Empire people, almost to the point of having a sentry every five steps and a guard every ten steps. The strict defenses were just to find Nie Yan and the others, but what they didn’t expect was that Nie Yan and the others were already outside the Molten Fire Forest.
