Chapter 180 Crystal Cave

The result of an amateur team encountering an elite team was exactly this, a completely one-sided battle. According to normal combat patterns, the shield warrior would stand firm at the front, and the mages' output would be concentrated, only able to sweep away two or three at a time. Moreover, the firepower was often scattered. With priests healing from behind, they could at least stalemate for a while, and it would take a long time to determine the outcome.

The people from Zhan Dao Shi Xue (Warblade Bloodlust) also had this idea, to wear down the members of the Niuren Tribe (Amazing Ox Tribe) and wait for their reinforcements to arrive. Then the Niuren Tribe people would have no way to escape. Who knew that the Niuren Tribe people would not play according to the usual tactics at all. First, Nie Yan, Yi Chui Ding Qing (One Hammer Decides), and Sun forcibly broke in with their superb skills, breaking through layers of defense and directly attacking the rear, causing chaos among the priests of the Zhan Dao Shi Xue camp. With the priests in disarray, the healing couldn't keep up, and the warrior defense line in front immediately collapsed. As soon as the warrior defense line collapsed, the warriors of the Niuren Tribe rushed up and directly began to slaughter the cloth-robed magic types. This series of blows caused the group of Zhan Dao Shi Xue players to be unable to last even six minutes in the hands of the Niuren Tribe members before they disintegrated.

The strength of this group of people from the Niuren Tribe was evident.

The remaining members of Zhan Dao Shi Xue were terrified, and they fled in panic, as if they would have no chance if they didn't escape.

Glancing around, there was a ground full of corpses, quite spectacular, with only the members of the Niuren Tribe remaining.

"How many did we lose?" Nie Yan asked. It was difficult to avoid casualties in this battle.

"Three were killed. The equipment has been picked up. If we revive them, they will lose a lot of experience. We will have to face high-intensity battles next, so let them revive in the graveyard," Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Beauty) said. This was a helpless choice.

Nie Yan nodded, agreeing with Shui Se Yan Tou's view. Fortunately, only three people were lost, which was not many.

"Everyone, get back on your horses. Let's go!" Nie Yan said. They didn't have much time to stay here.

If they were constantly consumed by the people from Zhan Dao Shi Xue, the remaining people would also be used up! Although Nie Yan could activate the teleportation scroll to go back, these red-named members couldn't go back. As the guild leader, these members had saved him, and he couldn't abandon these members and go back by himself.

Everyone summoned their horses and continued to gallop. At the end of the distant grassland, a dense jungle appeared. Seeing the continuous jungle in the distance, Nie Yan's eyes lit up. Having a jungle was much better. In the dense jungle, even if there were more people from Zhan Dao Shi Xue, they might not be able to stop them.

Just as Nie Yan was excited, Guo Huai sent a message to Nie Yan: "Don't enter the jungle ahead. They have five or six thousand people blocking there. You don't have high-level magic, so it's too dangerous to go there. Run to the east. There is a Crystal Cave there, a level 50 map. Once you enter the cave, no matter how many people Zhan Dao Shi Xue has, it will be useless. You can kill the red names there before coming out. But you have to be careful. That cave is an uncultivated map, and there may be many high-level monsters inside."

Even Nie Yan was a little surprised. Where did Guo Huai get this information? However, since the Zui Yu Canyon (Sin Domain Canyon) incident last time, Guo Huai began to focus on building the Niuren Tribe's intelligence network. With the financial support of the Long Yue Consortium, there was no need to worry about money. The intelligence network gradually spread out and achieved some results.

It was precisely because of so many capable generals that the Niuren Tribe was so powerful!

After receiving the message from Guo Huai, Nie Yan immediately led a group of team members to change direction and head towards the Crystal Cave in the east.

In the Zhan Dao Shi Xue guild headquarters in Honghe Fortress (Red River Fortress), Shi Xue Kuang Dao (Bloodthirsty Blademaster) received a message from the front line that another three or four hundred Zhan Dao Shi Xue players had been killed by the group of Niuren Tribe members, which made him very depressed. He had a large group of players blocking the route of this group of people, but suddenly received a report from a front-line thief that the people from the Niuren Tribe had changed direction and were heading east.

"Damn it, they are going to the Crystal Cave! Stop them!" Shi Xue Kuang Dao suddenly remembered that the terrain in the Crystal Cave was like a maze. If they entered such a place, the Zhan Dao Shi Xue players would not be able to spread out, and their plan to besiege Nie Yan and others would be completely bankrupt.

As for what would happen in the Crystal Cave, and whether Nie Yan and others would be wiped out, who knew? It was indeed difficult to explore a level 50 map, but Nie Yan's group was too powerful. Maybe they could really clear the map, kill the red names, and then leave. Then Zhan Dao Shi Xue would really be losing both the battle and the war.

The Crystal Cave was a level 50 map, spawning Crystal Cave Gnomes. The official website said that there was a level 50 lord inside, as well as a large group of elites. Several Zhan Dao Shi Xue teams had gone there to explore, but they all returned in disastrous defeat. There was a place inside that spawned seven elite-level Crystal Cave Gnomes at the same time. Seven level 50 elites were extremely difficult to deal with, and they couldn't get past it.

At that time, they had three regiments, sixty people. Nie Yan and others only had one regiment, less than twenty people. He felt that they shouldn't be able to pass through the Crystal Cave. But it was also hard to say, what if this group of Niuren Tribe people really passed the Crystal Cave? After all, this possibility could not be ruled out.

No matter what, they must intercept Nie Yan's group at any cost!

Nie Yan and others rode their warhorses. In the distance, at the foot of the mountain, a huge cave was already faintly visible. The entrance of the cave was scattered with giant rocks, and the rocks were covered with crystals. These crystals, under the sunlight, transformed into colorful colors.

These were some minerals. This Crystal Cave was the main production area of crystal mines.

Nie Yan and others rushed to the front of the Crystal Cave. At a distance of twenty or thirty yards from the Crystal Cave, suddenly, he had a bad feeling. He activated the Eye of Truth. The Eye of Truth quickly locked onto some targets nearby. More than thirty thieves on the left front, more than fifty thieves on the right front, and groups of people were rushing over, blocking their way. All of them were thieves, all in a stealth state. If they were ambushed, the consequences could be imagined.

When he formed the hundred-man thief group before, Nie Yan felt that the characteristics of thieves were more suitable for ambushes. When they appeared in groups, they were similar to wolf pack tactics and would achieve good results. There were some typical success stories in the previous life. Nie Yan didn't expect that today it would be their turn to taste the taste of being attacked by a thief group.

"Everyone, dismount and rush into the Crystal Cave!" Nie Yan said to the team members. The team members jumped off their horses one after another.

Shi Li Hua Sha (Ten Mile Painted Gauze) and Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai (Big Brother Seven, the Leader) were the first to cast two light spells. The two light spells flew in two different directions, and a white light poured down, illuminating the thieves one by one. The location of all the thieves was completely visible.

Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Beauty), Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) and others activated Charge and Ram, rushing towards the group of thieves.

Whirlwind Slash!

The sword's edge danced.

The thieves quickly split into several small teams, averaging five or six people besieging one person. All the remaining thieves approached the magic types in the rear, rushing up like a surging tide.

The thieves were like a pack of wolves waiting to devour, their eyes locked on one prey after another.

It was very depressing to encounter such a group of people. If you were stunned by one of the thieves, you would likely be stunned to death by the endless thieves behind you. So many thieves were enough to chain the stun skills to the end.

Banish!

Banish!

Tang Yao, Xia Chong Yu Bing (Summer Bug Speaks Ice) and other mages activated the Banish skill, banishing the thieves away. However, the thieves behind were still endless, rushing up continuously. They cast control skills one by one, occasionally blasting one or two thieves to death, but they always had a feeling of being weak. They were often rushed in by thieves.

Tang Yao and others cast magic one by one, blasting the rushing thieves away.

"Damn, are these guys endless? So many people!"

The entire team struggled to move forward.

Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) used a Ram, knocking away five or six thieves. After the thieves dodged, many thieves rushed up from the side. A thief used a Backstab on the back of Cui Can Dao Guang's head. Then, a group of thieves rushed up, outputting him fiercely. His health dropped rapidly.

Shi Li Hua Sha (Ten Mile Painted Gauze) continuously cast healing spells, steadily maintaining Cui Can Dao Guang's health. Tang Yao rushed up and used a Banish, banishing the players away.

Only then did Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light) escape the embarrassing state of being controlled. The situation of the other team members was also the same. Melee units fought close to this group of thieves, and few were not controlled. Two more team members were killed.

They were getting closer and closer to the cave entrance, ten yards, five yards...

The thieves' attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer. More and more team members in front were running low on health. Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai (Big Brother Seven, the Leader), Shi Li Hua Sha (Ten Mile Painted Gauze) and other priests had a trace of cold sweat on their foreheads. They couldn't heal anymore. If this continued for a while, more and more team members would definitely be killed, and they might end up falling at the entrance of the Crystal Cave.

Tang Yao, under the protection of a group of team members next to him, chanted a long magic spell, Arcane Banish!

A powerful thrust slammed into the thieves, sweeping them away.

The thieves retreated a full twenty yards, and the surrounding area was cleared.

The team rushed into the Crystal Cave. Shui Se Yan Tou (Smoky Beauty), Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light), and Leng Ao Ying (Arrogant Cold Shadow) blocked the cave entrance, like three door gods, firmly guarding it.

"I thought I learned a useless arcane magic, but I didn't expect this magic to be so useful." Tang Yao said incredulously. The casting time of this arcane magic was not long, about three seconds, but the effect was very strong. It actually banished the group of thieves for a full twenty yards. If it was on the battlefield, this would definitely be a good skill.

The Zhan Dao Shi Xue (Warblade Bloodlust) thieves were blocked outside by Nie Yan and others. Nie Yan and others looked into the cave. The deep cave was unknown where it led to. It was covered with rocks of various shapes, covered with crystals, emitting a faint white light in the cave.

The fourth update may be later.
