Chapter 163 Lava Forest Massacre

From time to time, scorching air currents emerged from the depths of underground caves in the Lava Forest, then dissipated into the air.

The temperature here was much higher than elsewhere, as if one had arrived at the mouth of a volcano. Ordinary trees couldn't grow here. Only huge iron trees, with their lush foliage, blotted out the sky.

It was said that magma often flowed beneath the Lava Forest, and eruptions could occur at any time.

The Lava Forest spawned lava monsters, level 20, with high defense and thick health bars. Their melee attacks also dealt fire damage. However, because they moved slowly and didn't have ranged attacks, and because they gave a lot of experience points, it became a leveling paradise for magic-based players.

The lava monsters were made entirely of stone, two yards tall, and moved like tanks.

More than twenty lava monsters spawned here at the same time. More than a hundred Zongheng Tianxia players were scattered everywhere. Warriors formed human walls, and the mages' magic streaked across the sky in arcs, landing on the lava monsters, exploding with a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds.

The dense magic instantly killed more than a dozen lava monsters.

After a while, another wave of magic came, and in a moment, tore apart all the remaining lava monsters.

Mages who were low on mana sat in twos and threes to replenish their mana. Mages who hadn't used much mana prepared to continue outputting damage.

After a while, about five or six seconds later, more than twenty lava monsters spawned again in the center of this clearing.

The spawning speed of the lava monsters here was truly astonishing!

Zongheng Tianxia had its share of insightful people, who were able to pick out such a great spot for leveling and grinding.

Five mages who were out of mana sat together chatting. They were sitting at the back of the team, a little far from the battlefield.

"Birdman, the brothers from Zongheng Tianxia who went to Niuren Tribe are calling us over. Should we go?" a skinny, somewhat lecherous arcane mage asked the holy-word mage next to him.

The holy-word mage called Birdman shook his head and said, "Go to Niuren Tribe? That's suicide. Didn't you see that Hei Zhuo is working with the Kaixuan Empire to deal with Niuren Tribe? We Zongheng Tianxia are nothing, but is the Kaixuan Empire so easy to mess with? Niuren Tribe is asking for death! Skinny, we can only talk about this amongst ourselves. Don't say such things to others in the guild."

The skinny arcane mage chuckled and said, "I wouldn't be that stupid. Let's rest more. Anyway, we get experience just by sitting here."

They were leisurely, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Nie Yan and Sun quietly snuck up to them, the daggers flashing a bright, cold light in the shadows of the corner.

The group of Zongheng Tianxia players in the distance were still killing monsters at a steady pace.

Wufeng, Hei Bai, Shabusi de Huaidan, and the others had all arrived at their designated positions according to the plan.

Seeing that all the team members were in place, Nie Yan shouted in the team chat, "Kill!"

All ten of them moved at once.

Nie Yan pounced on the holy-word mage called Birdman, the dagger in his hand stabbing straight at the back of his head, like a shooting star, Muffled Strike!

The movement was so fast that it reached its peak, and the dagger cut through the air.

Birdman suddenly felt something and a thought flashed through his mind: enemy attack!

But before he could stand up, it was too late. He took a hit to the back of the head, and Nie Yan's dagger slashed across his neck.

-432! -201!

Birdman fell!

Several mages scrambled to stand up.

Nie Yan turned and pounced on the other mages, the dagger in his right hand dealing a vital attack, slashing across the neck of one of the mages.

-538!

Critical hit, instant kill!

Another mage fell to the ground. Nie Yan's dagger landed a Backstab, penetrating the chest of the third mage. With a gasp of horror, that mage's head was marked with two damage numbers, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Sun's movements on the other side were also fast. A Thrust knocked a mage over, and he pounced on another mage who was trying to escape. A Muffled Strike, then a Backstab, and the dagger in his hand pierced the mage's armor, knocking him to the ground!

From the time they appeared to the time they killed five mages, it took less than ten seconds. The kills were completed almost in the blink of an eye, the movements clean and efficient.

After completing the task, they quickly Stealthed and pounced on other mages in the distance, especially priests!

At this time, from all directions, Hei Bai, Wufeng, Bi Lu Sha, and Cuican Daoguang charged down from the high slopes, their bodies clad in heavy metal armor, like heavy tanks, rolling over everything.

"Heroic Strike!" Wufeng was extremely fierce, slashing a mage away with one sword, and then a Flame Slash, the great sword burning with flames turning a priest into a beam of white light. The great sword in his hand was like an indestructible divine weapon, and in a blink of an eye, he had killed six. No one would have thought that this somewhat silent guy could release such a powerful killing intent when PK'ing!

The others were not weak either, killing all the way, ten steps to kill one person, unimpeded, unstoppable.

Streams of magic spewed fire, exploding on their bodies, but they were still fearless and imposing.

Bi Lu Sha took out a bottle of Intermediate Instant Health Potion from his backpack and drank it. His health instantly returned to full. A Holy Strike, the great sword in his hand shining with dazzling light, tore apart a priest, and then he cast a Minor Heal on Hei Bai.

The healing from Daitou Dage Qi Zai in the rear never stopped, and beams of white light fell on them. Added to the health potions they carried themselves, they still charged forward in the face of the dense bombardment of magic.

In a moment, more than twenty people had fallen to the ground.

The surrounding mages were terrified when they saw these killing gods, and ran for their lives.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's someone from Niuren Tribe!"

The Zongheng Tianxia players shouted. The warriors who were surrounding the lava monsters quickly turned around to rescue the mages behind them, and charged out from the center of the clearing.

Charge! Charge!

The lava monsters inside, having lost their obstruction, also rushed out, and the scene was a mess. Several lava monsters swung their huge arms, knocking down several mages.

The center of the clearing was full of surging crowds. The mages wanted to run, the warriors wanted to charge out, and there were dozens of lava monsters attacking anyone they caught.

On a high slope next to them, Wudong Qiji cast a Holy Judgment and a Holy Strike, killing a mage who ran over, and turned to Shabusi de Huaidan next to him and said, "Are you done yet? How long have you been holding it in?"

A terrifying and vast fire element gathered on Shabusi de Huaidan's body, causing people to change color in horror.

Several mages ran towards them, unable to distinguish whether they were there to stop Shabusi de Huaidan, or were players fleeing for their lives.

Xiachong Yubing cast an Arcane Fireball, a fireball spell shot straight at one of the mages, and with a "bang", the mage was blown away, instant kill!

The other Zongheng Tianxia mages were stunned, their minds lost, and they turned and ran, regretting that they didn't have a few more legs.

Where did these killing gods come from!

Shabusi de Huaidan was casting a terrifying group attack magic, but at this time no one could stop him. The people of Zongheng Tianxia were in chaos and couldn't care about Shabusi de Huaidan on the high slope. A few paladins with better awareness rushed over, wanting to kill Shabusi de Huaidan, but they were blasted away by Xiachong Yubing and Wudong Qiji with magic.

Nie Yan and Sun also cleared out a few players who dared to approach.

"Wufeng, Hei Bai, flash away!"

"Daoguang, Bi Lu Sha, flash away!"

After receiving the warning, Wufeng, Hei Bai, and Daoguang activated Charge and ran wildly to the outside, while Bi Lu Sha activated her Momentum, and her speed was not slower than the three warriors. The four quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

At this time, Shabusi de Huaidan completed two sets of gestures and two sets of syllables. In the sky above the open space, fiery clouds surged, and a huge fireball condensed in the sky and smashed down, like a giant meteorite. With a "boom", it swallowed dozens of Zongheng Tianxia warriors in the center of the open space. After the giant meteorite exploded, it shattered into countless fragments, densely covering the surrounding Zongheng Tianxia players.

It was as gorgeous as a grand fireworks show.

The flower-scattering fireball instantly killed more than sixty Zongheng Tianxia players, and the ground was cleared.

The raging hellfire devoured all the living beings it could reach.

The flames subsided, and only a dozen Zongheng Tianxia players survived by chance. When they looked at the center of the open space, they were stunned.

Everything was gone, leaving only a giant pit smashed out by the hellfire. The nearby area was scorched black. More than sixty players were gone in an instant, and even the twenty or so lava monsters had been annihilated, not even a shadow could be seen.

What a terrifying magic!

If such magic were used on the battlefield, at least six or seven hundred people would die from this one fireball.

Shabusi de Huaidan changed from his original ordinary state to a red name in an instant, as bright as blood, captivating.

Kill Count: 67!

"Damn, brother, you're on fire. This one fireball can make you famous!" Xiachong Yubing said with a smile.

"What a fierce magic," Wudong Qiji clicked his tongue and said. This magic was too terrifying. It was the first time he had seen the power of advanced magic.

The remaining dozen or so Zongheng Tianxia people wanted to escape. Nie Yan and others chased after them. Screams rang out, and many people died on the way to escape. Their speed was not on the same level as Nie Yan and the others.

In just two or three minutes, more than a hundred Zongheng Tianxia players were wiped out.

The killing filled the field. Except for Daitou Dage Qi Zai, everyone else had a red name!

"Did any escape?" Nie Yan asked.

"Two people!"

"Did you record the video?" Nie Yan looked at Xiachong Yubing and asked. Their angle was the best, so they could clearly capture the entire battle process.

"Recorded it," Xiachong Yubing nodded.

"Then post a reply to the people of Zongheng Tianxia on the official website," Nie Yan smiled coldly. This was the most powerful counterattack against Zongheng Tianxia and the Kaixuan Empire.

A hundred people, that was just the beginning!
