Chapter 1 Disturbance

Some movement came from the distance. Nie Yan and Xie Yao quickly put on their equipment. A Flame Giant was walking towards them.

Nie Yan glanced at Xie Yao. At this moment, Xie Yao's eyes were filled with alluring charm.

Thinking of the enchanting scene just now, Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart. After what happened, their relationship seemed to have grown closer, and the feeling was completely different.

After a while, Nie Yan continued to lure the Flame Giants, and the two of them leveled up by killing the Flame Giants, just like before.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

While Nie Yan and Xie Yao were killing Flame Giants, a team of three hundred people, led by Brilliant Knife Light, Watery Rose, and others from the Ni Ren Tribe, were heading to the deepest part of Leisuo Canyon, about twenty minutes away. They were preparing to clear the Underground Thunder Beasts, a level 90 Lord, entrenched in Leisuo Canyon.

They were the only team in the entire Leisuo Canyon, because at this point in time, they were the only ones who could handle the Thunder Beasts.

Inside the canyon was a wide, flat plain. A huge Thunder Beast appeared before them. This Thunder Beast was like a giant ape, its fur all brown, with streaks of lightning constantly flashing between its hairs. They were powerful creatures that could manipulate lightning at will.

The Thunder Beast discovered that Brilliant Knife Light and others had invaded its territory, and let out a deep roar, shaking the entire valley.

The Ni Ren Tribe players dispersed in a well-trained manner. Brilliant Knife Light waved the level 100 great shield inlaid with a demand-reducing gem in his hand and charged towards the Thunder Beast.

Shield Bash!

Brilliant Knife Light slammed a Shield Bash on the Thunder Beast, making a dull thud.

The Thunder Beast screamed in pain, raised its thick arms, and slapped down at Brilliant Knife Light, the attack carrying tearing lightning.

Brilliant Knife Light raised the great shield in his hand, blocking the Thunder Beast's attack with a parry. The tremendous force transmitted from the shield face caused him to stagger back a few steps, but he roared and charged up again.

The equipment on Brilliant Knife Light's body was all specially forged by Nie Yan to reduce requirements. The level 100 and above Dark Gold equipment had shockingly high defense and other attributes. The Thunder Beast's attack could only deal a little over a thousand points of damage to Brilliant Knife Light. He currently had six thousand health points, so he had no problem tanking the Thunder Beast. If it were an ordinary Shield Warrior of the same level, even with six thousand health points, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from the Thunder Beast.

A healing spell from the priest behind him landed on Brilliant Knife Light, healing him back up. The damage Brilliant Knife Light received was relatively low, so the pressure on the priests behind him was not very great.

Brilliant Knife Light held off the Thunder Beast, and the other Shield Warriors immediately followed up, blocking the Thunder Beast and preventing it from moving around.

Paladins and Berserkers were already in position. Seeing that Brilliant Knife Light had attracted the Thunder Beast's aggro, the magic players began to output. Nearly one hundred and seventy magic players simultaneously cast spells, each magic flying through the sky in arcs, landing on the Thunder Beast, and exploding with a bang.

Lightning, ice, fire, scattered and splashed.

Among all the magic players, the most conspicuous was Tang Yao, wearing a blood-red robe. Even a simple Arcane Fireball could cause the most powerful magic attack damage in the field. Because his magic damage was too high, he had to pause for a while after casting a spell to control the Thunder Beast's aggro towards him.

The Thunder Beast roared angrily, frantically counterattacking Brilliant Knife Light, but no matter how it attacked, its attack damage to Brilliant Knife Light was very limited. Brilliant Knife Light was always able to maintain more than half of his health.

"Knife Light is so strong defensively," a priest behind him sighed. Brilliant Knife Light's defense was outrageously high. Having Big Brother Seven and Ten Miles of Painted Gauze healing him was enough. Aside from buffing the team members, it seemed that they were of little use.

"Knife Light's equipment was all obtained by Nie Yan. It is said that Knife Light's defense has reached over eight thousand."

"Over eight thousand..."

This number caused everyone around to gasp. This was a number that all current players found difficult to reach. It was said that the MTs of the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians only had a defense of over five thousand, which was not in the same league as Brilliant Knife Light.

While Brilliant Knife Light and others were focused on dealing with the Thunder Beast, a group of about thirty or so rogues from the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians followed behind Brilliant Knife Light and others into Leisuo Canyon.

These rogues were the top rogues of the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians, representing the highest level of rogues in the entire Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians.

They ambushed in various places, staring at the Ni Ren Tribe players who were attacking the Thunder Beast in the distance.

The leader of these thirty or so rogues was a rogue named Shattered Bone Knife, the number one rogue of the Mage Alliance. His skill level was definitely top-notch, only slightly inferior to Sun, King of the World and others from the Ni Ren Tribe.

This group of rogues lurked in the jungle about several hundred yards away from Brilliant Knife Light and others, closely monitoring their every move.

"Damn, that Shield Warrior's defense is a bit too high. He can actually withstand a level 90 Lord, and he looks so relaxed." A rogue whispered to Shattered Bone Knife.

"Actually, the scariest person is not these people, but Mad Rogue Nie Yan. I'm wondering how Mad Rogue Nie Yan managed to gather this group of people together." Shattered Bone Knife sighed. Talents like Brilliant Knife Light, Watery Rose, and Big Brother Seven were amazing. It might be difficult to find one among tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. Such a group of people was actually gathered together by Mad Rogue Nie Yan. How discerning was he!

The rogue next to him couldn't help but remain silent upon hearing Shattered Bone Knife's words.

The inside of Leisuo Canyon seemed very peaceful. A faint mist permeated the air, and the chirping of birds occasionally came from the jungle in the distance, causing people's mood to relax. Apart from the battle here, Leisuo Canyon was still relatively quiet.

Brilliant Knife Light was still tanking the Thunder Beast. Seeing that the Thunder Beast only had about 20% of its health left, it would definitely die in about three or four minutes.

Just as Brilliant Knife Light was preparing to have the magic players increase their output, his voice communication rang.

Brilliant Knife Light frowned. Why would someone call his voice communication at this time? He had set the voice communication contacts. Only a few people such as Guo Huai and Nie Yan could call his voice communication at this time.

Brilliant Knife Light looked down. It was sent by Guo Huai.

They had reported to Guo Huai before forming a team to kill Thunder Beasts. Guo Huai calling his voice communication at this time must be something important. He immediately connected to the voice communication.

"Knife Light, take everyone and retreat quickly!" Guo Huai shouted nervously in the voice communication.

"But the Thunder Beast only has 20% health left! It can be dealt with in three or four minutes!" Hearing Guo Huai's words, Brilliant Knife Light immediately realized the danger, but it was too unwilling to give up the Thunder Beast with only 20% health left.

"Retreat immediately! Never mind the Thunder Beast! Otherwise it will be too late!" Guo Huai said anxiously.

Hearing Guo Huai's words, Brilliant Knife Light's expression turned stern. He immediately said in a deep voice in the team chat: "All team members listen to my command, retreat immediately!"

"Knife Light, why?"

"Yes, the Thunder Beast only has 20% health left. In another three or four minutes, it can be dealt with!"

"Could it be that the Mage Alliance has taken some action? Didn't we confirm that the Mage Alliance people were killing level 80 Lords before we came? Even if they come, we don't have to be so afraid!"

"Stop talking nonsense, stop attacking, retreat!" Brilliant Knife Light didn't understand the situation either, but he was sure that Guo Huai had definitely found out something.

"Listen to Knife Light, retreat immediately!" Watery Rose shouted in the team chat.

The two giants had spoken, and everyone did not dare to neglect it. The Ni Ren Tribe players could only stop attacking and began to retreat in an orderly manner. Brilliant Knife Light ran to the side, leading the Thunder Beast in another direction to create conditions for the players to retreat.

Shattered Bone Knife and others were staring at this group of Ni Ren Tribe players, and suddenly found that the Ni Ren Tribe's actions were very strange.

"Shattered Bone, they are going to retreat!"

Shattered Bone Knife quickly gave a voice communication to Crazy Magic, who was organizing players at Hilton Fortress. Crazy Magic's eyes turned cold. The Ni Ren Tribe retreated so quickly. It must be that their news had been leaked. If they waited any longer, the Ni Ren Tribe people would run away!

Crazy Magic issued an order in the area group chat, all of them moved out and started attacking!

The Mage Alliance players immediately started taking action upon hearing Crazy Magic's order. In addition to the Mage Alliance people, the Sacred Guardians also sent a large number of players to assist them. Groups of Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians players disappeared out of thin air. They were all teleported away by Arcane Mages using teleportation magic.

Brilliant Knife Light glanced at the guild information, and his face changed. The more than three thousand people who came were divided into several small teams, killing monsters in various places. They were almost simultaneously ambushed by the Mage Alliance, Sacred Guardians, and Blood Fiends. More than eight hundred people were killed or injured. These players were the elites of guilds such as Ni Ren Tribe and Holy Roman Empire! Any one of them losing a level would be a huge loss for them.

The Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians had made careful plans in advance. Guo Huai's information was one step slower. Their most ruthless move was a large group of rogues using vine entanglement, quicksand magic and other scrolls to attack wildly, catching the Ni Ren Tribe players off guard and suffering heavy losses.

"Use Return Scrolls in batches!" Brilliant Knife Light realized that things were not simple. The Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians must have also set their sights on them. After all, this group of people was the real essence of the Ni Ren Tribe. If they didn't retreat quickly, they would definitely encounter trouble.

"They're rogues from the Mage Alliance!" Big Brother Seven said in a deep voice. He used a Light Illumination spell, and three rogues lurking nearby were all illuminated by him.

They came so fast! Brilliant Knife Light's heart sank.
