“But if we don't use Scorching Meteor, we're definitely going to wipe. Only twenty people, how can we deal with so many manticore?” Half Awake Fox still couldn't believe that Nie Yan could clear sixteen manticores at the same time without using large-scale magic.

“Actually, you don't need Scorching Meteor, but my method requires a lot from the Thieves,” Nie Yan said. Since he dared to bring Half Awake Fox and others here, he was naturally confident in clearing the dungeon. Skills like Scorching Meteor can be used once or twice, but you can’t always use them.

Half Awake Fox was silent. If Nie Yan could really rely on skills and the combat power of this group of players, instead of using an OP skill like Scorching Meteor, to clear a manticore nest, wouldn't that mean Nie Yan was more capable than him?

“Then let's give it a try.” Half Awake Fox said. He wasn't the kind of petty person who cared about face. He admired talented people. There were many people in the Holy Roman Empire more talented than him, but only he was the guild leader!

“Guild leader, a piece of gold equipment dropped!” A team member exclaimed in surprise.

“What equipment? Send it over and let me see,” Half Awake Fox said.

Nie Yan and the others looked at the equipment's attributes. It was a piece of gold equipment, part of the Priest's Holy Blessing Set.

“There's nothing strange about it. The Expert-level Ogrema Muddy Marsh has the highest drop rate of gold equipment of all the current dungeons. There will definitely be more gold equipment later.” Nie Yan was used to it. Having seen so many legendary items, gold-grade items held little appeal for him.

How Half Awake Fox and the others would distribute this equipment had nothing to do with him. After the dungeon mission was over, he would naturally get his share.

Half Awake Fox sensed that Nie Yan was knowledgeable and had his own ideas. This kind of person was the hardest to control. It seemed that the plan to recruit him would be difficult to succeed.

Half Awake Fox distributed the gold equipment to a priest in the team, and the team continued to advance.

Soon, the group arrived at the second manticore nest. There were seventeen manticores in this manticore nest, about the same number as the previous one.

Half Awake Fox looked at Nie Yan and said, “It's up to you now.”

Nie Yan nodded, checked the terrain, and looked for a suitable spot. Under his command, the other three Thieves arrived at the designated positions and were numbered one to three respectively.

The four people formed a square, standing at the four corners, and then Nie Yan assigned each person's work in detail.

The manticores were leisurely active near the nest. They didn't know that a group of humans had locked their eyes on them.

“Remember, don't get entangled with the manticores. As soon as you see them chasing you, run away immediately. Don't stop. They are too fast. If you don't run faster, you won't be able to outrun them,” Nie Yan carefully instructed.

A flash of understanding suddenly crossed Half Awake Fox's mind. It seemed that Nie Yan wanted to lure these manticores out separately and defeat them one by one, but these manticores moved so fast that it was too difficult for the Thieves in his team to kite.

These Thieves could avoid the manticores' pursuit for a while, but definitely not for too long. If they were caught up by the manticores, wouldn't they be dead?

Seeing that all the Thieves were ready, Nie Yan said, “Next, listen to my command.”

The three Thieves concentrated their minds highly, each taking a deep breath. They saw Nie Yan raise the crossbow in his hand and aim at the Manticore Leader.

Eh, wasn't it supposed to be four Thieves attacking together? Half Awake Fox was surprised.

Nie Yan's sight passed through the reticle and aimed at the target. Swish, swish, swish, three arrows shot out, all hitting the Manticore Leader. The Manticore Leader noticed Nie Yan at the first moment, roared angrily, jumped out of the crowd, and pounced on Nie Yan.

A group of manticores followed closely behind. Seeing this, Nie Yan turned around and ran.

Nie Yan dared to attract so many manticores to himself, he really had courage, Half Awake Fox thought. Unless Nie Yan was very confident in his skills, he wouldn't do such a difficult and almost suicidal move.

“Number Three, attack the last three manticores!” Nie Yan shouted in the team chat. The Thief Number Three heard Nie Yan's shout and didn't dare to be vague. He raised the short bow in his hand and shot three arrows. Bang, bang, bang, all hit the target.

The last three manticores changed their targets and fell on that Thief, separating from the main force and pouncing on that Thief.

That Thief quickly ran back, towards the waiting main force.

Nie Yan ran wildly through the swamp, counting the time in his mind. Five seconds, six seconds, seven seconds, he immediately shouted in the team chat, “Number Two, attack the last three manticores!”

That Thief quickly shot the three manticores with his bow as Nie Yan said, and three more manticores separated from the main force.

The Thieves only kited three manticores each time, so the main force was under very little pressure. The melee class players stood in front, and the mages in the back only needed three rounds of volley fire to shoot these manticores to the ground.

Nie Yan ran at top speed, avoiding the pursuit of the manticore group. Because Nie Yan was very fast, dodged skillfully, and used all kinds of tricks, the manticore group couldn't do anything to Nie Yan for a while.

The three Thieves took turns kiting monsters, leading the manticores away from the main force one by one.

Magic was as dense as rain, and the manticores fell to the ground one by one. Nie Yan's method of farming manticores was undoubtedly successful, but this was all based on Nie Yan's superb escape skills and precise calculations. Others wouldn't have the ability to do this even if they wanted to!

“Such a fast speed!” Half Awake Fox couldn't help but sigh as he watched Nie Yan shuttle through the jungle at top speed, making the manticores run around in circles.

“Guild leader, who is that guy?”

The team members muttered to themselves, wondering where Half Awake Fox found such a perverted guy.

“Focus on output!” Half Awake Fox shouted in a deep voice.

The team members immediately fell silent and dared not discuss it any further. After a few rounds of magic, they took down a few more manticores.

“Damn, three more are coming, not enough magic.”

“Use magic potions!”

Half Awake Fox was shocked to find that every time they killed three manticores, another Thief immediately led another three manticores over, wave after wave, unhurriedly, each time precisely hitting that time point.

Nie Yan's timing was really precise, Half Awake Fox thought in shock.

The team members were not stupid, they understood how difficult it was to avoid a group of manticores like Nie Yan. They also admired him in their hearts, and no longer dared to underestimate Nie Yan like they did when they first met.

At first, the players didn't believe that Nie Yan could lead them through the Ogrema Muddy Marsh, but after this battle, their trust in Nie Yan was established.
