Chapter 1 The Beginning

Lan He was known as Lanqiao Chunxue in the Realm of Gods. Having experienced the various trials of pioneering the Tenth Server, his mood had been low. After Lord Grim entered the Realm of Gods, the development of the major guilds in the Tenth Server finally got back on track.

In the Pro League, Team Samsara's momentum was fierce, but Team Blue Rain was still steadily ranked first. Samsara's vigorous momentum had won over many new players in the Tenth Server, but first place was still first place. With this reputation, Blue Brook Guild's later development in the Tenth Server was also quite smooth.

Managing a guild in the normal servers might seem like leaving the high-end Realm of Gods, but for club guilds that treated the game as a business, managing a guild in the normal servers was actually a higher position than being a top five expert or leading an elite team in the Realm of Gods. However, after experiencing the cutthroat competition in the Tenth Server, Lan He felt very tired of the various schemes involved in guild management. After Blue Brook Guild's development in the Tenth Server was on track, he took the initiative to resign to Guild Leader Chun Yi Lao, preferring to give up the higher position of normal server guild leader and return to the Realm of Gods to be an elite player.

Of course, Chun Yi Lao couldn't force anyone to do anything, so after Lan He handed over the Blue Brook Guild leader account, Lan He, in the Tenth Server, he returned to the Realm of Gods and played his original Swordsman character, Lanqiao Chunxue.

Tired of the guild battles, he hardly participated in the direct competition of Boss snatching after returning to the Realm of Gods. Instead, he spent his days leisurely playing pve with a team in dungeons.

Lan He had voluntarily given up a position that many people coveted, but as a veteran of Blue Brook Guild, his position in the guild was still quite detached and he was still trusted. Although he was unwilling to intervene in pvp matters, he couldn't stand idly by if there was a situation, could he?

Recently, due to Blue Rain Team's progress into the finals, the fans of the eliminated teams and the fans of Team Samsara, who they would face, naturally became hostile towards Blue Brook Guild in the game. A slight quarrel could turn into a fierce battle. Lan He was in the middle of it, and he couldn't help but get involved. Fortunately, these recent fights were based on a surge of passion, and didn't require much mental effort.

Various disputes needed to be fought, and Wild Bosses also needed to be snatched. The guild had just received information that the Sewer King, Lu Kaixiu, had spawned, and Guild Leader Chun Yi Lao immediately asked who was nearby. Snatching Wild Bosses inevitably required a core member of the guild to lead the team.

Lan He took a look and realized that he was really close! He was too embarrassed to play dead, so he greeted them. What distrust could his guild have for him? He was immediately appointed to lead the team responsible for this Boss.

Although he hadn't done this kind of thing for a few days, Lan He was no stranger to it. Thinking about how he went from being cannon fodder to a main force, then to a team leader, then to a raid leader, then to a commander in charge of the entire operation, and now to avoiding these things, Lan He couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. Then, seeing that his people were arriving quickly, he didn't hesitate to take the initiative. That's how low-level Bosses were snatched.

Lan He didn't think that occasionally participating in Boss snatching would lead to any problems, but it just so happened that there was a different situation. Not long after they started killing, they received a message that the people coming later were ambushed on the way. Lan He didn't pay much attention at first, but the following message revealed the names, and he immediately lost his composure.

Was he really that unlucky?

Wasn't this guy supposed to be lying low recently? How could he suddenly appear as soon as he casually participated in such a competitive affair? Ambush on the way? Why was this kind of unruly behavior happening again!

Was ambushing on the way against the rules? Of course not. When snatching Bosses, all kinds of methods were used, and there were no rules. There were only methods that people couldn't do, and no methods that people couldn't think of.

Various guilds rarely did things like ambushing on the way. This was definitely not because they didn't have such ideas, but because this approach wasn't very effective for them.

Because ordinary players definitely didn't have the technical skills of Ye Xiu's level.

Ye Xiu led Tang Rou, Baozi, and Chen Guo. Facing opponents with a similar number of people, it was a one-sided suppression. They could quickly defeat their opponents and then actively sweep other targets. If ordinary players were to do this, everyone's skill level would be similar. Even if you were ambushing, you wouldn't be able to do it as quickly as Ye Xiu and his team. To ambush on the way without a numerical advantage was a 50-50 chance of either ambushing the other party or looking for death. If you wanted to create a numerical advantage, you would have to increase the manpower input. As a result, the other party would also add more manpower, and the scale of a Boss battle would expand endlessly. In the end, before the Boss was even snatched, they would already be fighting on the road. More importantly, even if they fought like this, no one seemed to gain any advantage!

Ye Xiu and his team were different. With a small number of people, their skill level was high. It was a guaranteed victory to crush three or five people. Hothin City, in the level 55 area, didn't have many people to begin with. Everyone teleported over to rush towards the sewers, and the routes were similar. As Ye Xiu's group of four swept through the area, the players from the major guilds returned to the resurrection point in twos and threes. They came out with red attributes and realized that the situation was extraordinary.

When the four of them fought their way to the sewer Boss battle, the scene was obviously affected by their actions. The number of people in the major guilds was scattered, especially when compared to the well-equipped lineup of Yizhan Tianxia, it seemed particularly thin.

Ye Xiu didn't say anything and led the three directly into the battle, not attacking the Boss, but specializing in killing players. When Zhan Lou Lan saw that this lord had arrived, he naturally had to provide support. With support, especially the support of a healer, Ye Xiu and the others were even more rampant. They attacked anyone they met except for the people from Yizhan Tianxia.

"This way of snatching Bosses is really... too brutal..." Zhan Lou Lan looked at the other guilds being thrown into chaos and sighed. Looking at Ye Xiu's posture, it was simply a clearing of the field! What dominance was this!

All the way, the number of people on the side of the major guilds was limited, and they couldn't stop these four for a while. Cooperate and group up? That wasn't something that could be done subconsciously.

Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was killing with great power when suddenly a sword aura swept in diagonally, intending to interrupt his offensive. From the timing, it was a rare and clear move in this chaotic battle. Ye Xiu quickly commanded Lord Grim to dodge and immediately swept his vision towards the direction of the sword.

The team was short of people! So at any moment, Ye Xiu paid more attention to this kind of eye-catching performance.

Looking over, the name of the person who used the sword was: Lanqiao Chunxue. It sounded familiar.

Where had he heard it? Ye Xiu turned his thoughts slightly and immediately realized who it was. Fortunately, Lanqiao Chunxue had the name "Blue Brook Guild" hanging over his head. If the guild name was removed, Ye Xiu probably wouldn't be able to match it for a while.

"Oh! Isn't this so-and-so's account? How is Lan He doing lately?" Ye Xiu had always been shouting for fights, but this time he finally had a greeting other than fighting.

"I am Lan He..." The other party replied resentfully.

"Oh, it's you! You've returned to the Realm of Gods. Then do you know who I am? Have you come to die?" Ye Xiu said.

Lan He was in tears! Was he willing to come? But now that he was in this position and had encountered such a difficult problem, he had to stand up and block it!

"Two o'clock!" As a result, Ye Xiu didn't wait for him to answer, and shouted before abandoning Lanqiao Chunxue and killing towards the two o'clock direction.

"Don't run!" Lan He used a Triple Slash to open the way and chased after him. As a result, Lord Grim slightly sidestepped to let him pass, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella turned into a spear and stabbed him, using a Circle Swing to knock him to the ground.

"Run? This is a tactic, brother. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to appreciate it." Ye Xiu said, leading the three of them to continue killing in the two o'clock direction.

Indeed, people who didn't understand might think that Ye Xiu and his team were just killing randomly to clear the field. In fact, Ye Xiu knew very well that although their team was much more skilled, it was too exaggerated to say that they could clear the field with just four people. Their way of charging and killing was based on Ye Xiu's observation of the situation and his judgment, and they had tactical intentions. The goal was to create time and space for Zhan Lou Lan to kill the Boss.

Ye Xiu had told Zhan Lou Lan about this. Some of the Yizhan Tianxia players were cooperating with Ye Xiu and the others, while the other part was actively attacking the Boss.

He was thrown to the ground in one move. Lan He had to get up and continue to catch up in a mess. He couldn't just fall to the ground and pretend to be dead, right?

"You're still coming? Hurry up and take your people away. This Boss is not for you." Seeing Lan He charging up again, Ye Xiu said helplessly.

Lan He didn't answer, gritting his teeth and slashing with his sword. As a result, a flying kick came from the side and kicked him over. Then, there was punching, kicking, and brick throwing, all kinds of street hooligan tricks, and it was none other than the Brawler, Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Kid, I'm actually saving you by beating you! Our boss is giving you face, so you should be sensible. If you really piss off our boss, the consequences will be very serious!" While beating him, Steamed Bun was still explaining. In fact, Lan He's level was quite outstanding among online game players, and he was experienced. Although Steamed Bun was improving rapidly, he wasn't so strong that Lan He couldn't resist at all. It was just that Steamed Bun's attack was too sudden, and Lan He was caught off guard. Then, Steamed Bun started a flurry of attacks.

Steamed Bun's control was fast! Under the advantageous situation of getting the first move, Lan He really couldn't dodge this series of attacks. He had just been thrown into the dirt by Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, and now he was being beaten to the ground by Steamed Bun. Lan He was very depressed. Looking around, he didn't know where the Blue Brook Guild people had gone, and there was no one to support him.

Thinking about it, Lan He really admired himself. Where did he get the boldness to charge at four people alone? Was he really here to die?
