Chapter 1 A Crowd of Players

A crowd of players scattered around, gradually approaching the giant Benkroft, the team slowly advancing. Wangzhe Tianxia, Sun, and others reached a position about seventy or eighty yards away from the giant Benkroft, raised their crossbows, and pulled the triggers. Swish, swish, swish, several arrows shot towards the giant Benkroft.

The giant Benkroft waved his greatsword, cutting down several arrows.

Du, du, several arrows hit the giant Benkroft, and several damage numbers in the tens floated above his head.

Soon, some mages waved their staffs, and streams of magic flew out, but their magic could only cause tens of points of damage, and it was difficult to even break a hundred.

The giant Benkroft was a defense-type Boss, and Nie Yan didn't expect them to kill him at all, he just hoped they could lure the giant Benkroft away, giving him ample time to open the treasure chests.

The team members' formations were well-organized, seemingly scattered, but actually very regular. Once the giant Benkroft charged up, they could retreat in all directions at any time.

Under their dense attacks, the giant Benkroft roared angrily, but he was a warrior, and the longest-range remote attack skill could only reach about ten yards. If he wanted to deal with these audacious mages, the giant Benkroft had no choice but to charge out.

Once he charged out, he might not be able to guard the three treasure chests behind him.

"Increase the firepower!" Nie Yan said in the team chat, glancing at the team members, sighing in his heart. It was a pity that Tang Yao was not there, missing a powerful damage dealer, it felt indeed very different from usual.

The giant Benkroft was enraged, he waved his greatsword, activated Charge, and charged towards the team members.

"He's charging up!"

"Everyone, retreat!"

The team members scattered in all directions with a whoosh.

The giant Benkroft missed, if he continued to chase, he could kill many people, but he was already very far from the throne, and because he was worried about the treasure chests, he slowly retreated.

When the team members saw the giant Benkroft retreat, they surrounded him again.

The giant Benkroft seemed annoyed, although these five hundred or so team members dealt very little damage to him, even less than his recovery speed, he was still very depressed.

"Get out of here, you hateful vermin!" the giant Benkroft roared loudly.

But no one paid any attention to his words, and they continued to challenge his bottom line.

The giant Benkroft finally couldn't bear it anymore, and strode towards the team members.

Seeing the giant Benkroft leave, Nie Yan immediately quickly approached the three treasure chests, ready to act. His gaze swept over the three chests, and he was stunned. The red chest from before had already been opened, detonating the flames, but now it had returned to its original state.

The red, green, and blue chests were placed there intact. Nie Yan could basically be sure that only one of these three chests contained the Focus Legplates, and the other two chests were filled with gunpowder. He only had a one-third probability of successfully opening the chest containing the Focus Legplates.

Nie Yan looked into the distance. The enraged giant Benkroft had begun to slaughter the team members. Any player who was caught by him couldn't withstand a single sword strike, including Cui Can Dao Guang!

Logically speaking, Cui Can Dao Guang's defense should be stronger than that of the Golden Earth Dragon and Holy Knight Leffers, and should be more resistant, but the giant Benkroft's attacks came with an armor-breaking effect. When Cui Can Dao Guang tried to stop the giant Benkroft, his heavy armor was broken, and he was instantly killed by a single sword strike.

The giant Benkroft used a shockwave, and more than a dozen players were blasted away by the powerful explosive force.

These team members had finally bought Nie Yan some time, but Nie Yan hesitated, which treasure chest should he open?

He didn't have many chances, the giant Benkroft would be back soon!

Just as he was about to open the green treasure chest, the giant Benkroft retreated quickly, and Nie Yan quickly activated Shadow Dance and ran away.

A large pile of corpses was left on the ground.

"How many people died?" Nie Yan asked.

"More than seventy!"

Hearing this number, Nie Yan raised his eyebrows. It had only been less than twenty seconds, but the giant Benkroft had actually killed more than seventy people!

"Revive them all," Nie Yan said, looking at the giant Benkroft with a thoughtful expression. Which chest was the Focus Legplates hidden in? The red one, the green one, or the blue one?

Nie Yan was depressed. He could only rely on luck. With a one-third chance of winning, every failure would cause huge losses!

His mind was a mess. If there were any clues or hints, that would be great, but there were no clues at all, and the Holy Light Stone didn't give any hints either.

The giant Benkroft had a certain amount of intelligence, and knew that Wangzhe Tianxia, Sun, and others wanted to lure him away from those treasure chests, so he came back only a few seconds after leaving.

The giant Benkroft had a certain amount of intelligence. Nie Yan seemed to have thought of something. A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. That's right, the red chest, why not try the red chest. According to normal thinking, ordinary people would open the red chest for the first time, and if they found that it was a trap and not the Focus Legplates, they would definitely open the green or blue chest next. The giant Benkroft might have transferred the item to the red chest!

Thinking of this, Nie Yan decided that if he found an opportunity next time, he would definitely go and open the red chest.

He didn't know if this guess was correct, he could only try it.

The giant Benkroft glanced down at the three chests, found that the chests were intact, and immediately activated Charge, rushing towards the team members again.

Seeing the giant Benkroft charging over, the team members' faces changed. They didn't even have time to revive their teammates!

"All magic users, pay attention, draw him in, you must hold him back, I need thirty seconds!" Nie Yan said in the team chat.

"Understood, boss, don't worry, leave it to us!"

The top team members launched attacks on the giant Benkroft one after another. Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan teleported to the giant Benkroft's side, and streams of magic flew from his hands, bang, bang, bang, exploding on the giant Benkroft's body.

The giant Benkroft's attention was drawn to Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan, and he slashed down with his sword.

Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan teleported one after another, quickly dodging the giant Benkroft's attacks, but the magic in his hands didn't stop.

The giant Benkroft roared, and a deafening roar swept across, Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan's body stiffened, it was a control skill!

Before Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan could dodge, he saw the sword slash down, instant kill!

As soon as Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan died, Xia Chong Yu Bing and others immediately followed up, casting spells one after another. Soon, Xia Chong Yu Bing, Ben Zhi E Mo, Xie Yao and others also died one after another, but each of their deaths bought Nie Yan valuable time.

At this time, Nie Yan had already squatted down in front of the red treasure chest and started opening it.

System: Treasure chest opening in progress...62%...

Hurry, hurry, Nie Yan couldn't help praying in his heart. He received messages about team members dying one after another.

First, it was Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan, Xia Chong Yu Bing, and a group of archmages, followed by a group of warriors, holy knights, and thieves, and then several divine priests. Even top-tier classes were only there to die when they encountered a level 180 demonized lord.

The top professional players were almost dead. Seeing that the giant Benkroft was about to retreat, the elite players launched suicide attacks on the giant Benkroft, rushing towards the giant Benkroft one after another.

The giant Benkroft swung his sword again and again. Each of his attacks could kill one or two players, but with so many people below, it would still take a lot of effort to kill everyone.

Corpses lay on the ground, covering the area around the giant Benkroft.

So many people were sacrificed, so he must get the Focus Legplates! Nie Yan kept praying, and with a click, the red treasure chest was opened.

Success!

Nie Yan was ready to use Gale Step to escape at any time, but luckily, he didn't smell gunpowder!

Nie Yan was overjoyed, reached into the box, and first took out a pair of legplates. Looking at the familiar patterns on the legplates, Nie Yan's heart almost jumped out of his chest. It was indeed the Abak's Focus Legplates. He had finally collected this set!

Nie Yan was very excited, threw the Focus Legplates into his backpack, then reached into the box and took out a transparent egg. This egg was only the size of a palm, and could be held in one hand. It was completely transparent, and a tadpole-like creature could be seen floating inside.

It's an elf!

Nie Yan was extremely excited, another good thing, he wondered what type of elf it was. Throughout the entire Ni Ren Tribe, only Tang Yao had an arcane elf, which had created Tang Yao's fame as the number one mage. One could imagine how rare elves were at this time.

Randomly hatching an elf of any kind and giving it to a certain archmage could greatly increase their strength.

Nie Yan touched the treasure chest, but found nothing else. Seeing the giant Benkroft coming over, he immediately activated Greater Stealth and quickly disappeared.

The giant Benkroft slaughtered more than five hundred players, leaving corpses all over the ground. When he came back, he found that the treasure chest was empty, and the contents had been stolen. He roared angrily, almost tearing down the entire temple, and kept shaking the ground, trying to find the thief, but at this moment, Nie Yan had already run away with the loot.

After going on a rampage for a while, the giant Benkroft finally sat down on the throne, exhausted.

The twenty-six shamans stood up one after another, and immediately began to revive their teammates on the ground, and one dead player after another stood up.

"Everyone, retreat immediately!" Nie Yan said in the group chat. Now that he had the item, there was naturally no need to stay there.
