11:50.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was on his way towards Line Canyon. The world was bustling with excitement as the time approached midnight. Quite a few players, like Ye Xiu, were impatiently waiting for the dungeon entries to refresh, and many of them were hurrying along the same road as well.
Ye Xiu had already contacted Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan. The two had both gone offline at Desolate Land. As soon as they got on, they headed towards Line Canyon and would arrive before those coming from Congee City.
Outside of Congee City was a vast expanse of barren land. Although there were a few Level 30 monsters scattered here and there, it couldn't be counted as a leveling area. The spawn rate and the concentration of monsters just wasn't enough to satisfy a player's leveling needs. Aside from killing them for quests, no player trained here.
After this, the road split into two. The left path led to Desolate Land, while the right led to Line Canyon. When the players reached this point, their levels were obvious at a glance. Those who went left were all Level 30 and under and those who went right were all Level 30 and above. These were the players who were considered high-leveled on the new server.
When Lord Grim reached the fork in the road, he went to the right. Coincidentally, the several players beside him unexpectedly all went to the right as well.
In the front, many players were heading towards Congee City from Line Canyon. During this time, these players, who were heading in opposite directions, bumped into each other.
A total of eight players, four on the left, four on the right, formed a "V" formation.
The players behind him, those who were going along the same route, had unknowingly gathered close to Lord Grim.
Ye Xiu suddenly realized that something wasn't right and forced Lord Grim to halt.
The several characters next to him instantly halted as well as if they had received orders.
As I thought!
Ye Xiu didn't think too much and took the initiative to strike first. His left hand gently moved across the keyboard and executed the first move.
These surrounding players didn't react slowly either. As soon as everyone halted all at once, they knew that they had been exposed.
The mid-ranged characters immediately began their offensive. Bullets and magic bombarded Lord Grim from several directions. Lord Grim was instantly vaporized. Not even a corpse remained.
Shadow Clone Technique!
Lord Grim's real body had flashed in front of someone towards his right, just before they were able to begin their offensive.
Without any warning, he lifted his lance and attacked.
Right when the Shadow Clone was extinguished, the players blocking the road were blasted away by Lord Grim with a Falling Flower Palm.
Since he was in a melee form, the players had thought that he was planning to take them all at the same time; but their characters suddenly launched into the sky.
Even after being blown away by the Falling Flower Palm, they still hadn't figured out what had happened.
These flying bodies opened up the way for Ye Xiu.
He had realized that something was wrong earlier than expected, the players wouldn't have completed their formation. The instantaneous movement from his Shadow Clone Technique was directed towards the weakest part of the not-yet completed encirclement.
