This Blue River was also like Stolord and had been announced by the system twice. His background wasn't small. He belonged to one of the three great guilds, Blue Brook Guild. In the heavenly domain, he possessed the Blade Master, Blue Bridge Spring Snow, one of the five top experts of Blue Brook Guild. But as all veterans knew, peak guilds like Blue Brook Guild had a professional club backing them. The five great experts weren't their best. The experts of the professional team behind them were.
Behind the Blue Brook Guild was the Blue Rain Club's team. The number one player on their team was called Huang Shaotian. His account was a Blade Master called Troubling Rain. In the Glory community, he was known as the Sword Saint and was as equally famous as the Battle God Ever-Stay.
When the tenth server opened, Blue Brook Guild sent Blue River along with other helpers to be pioneers in the new server and help establish their power by absorbing fresh blood. No one else but a player from one of those three great guilds would dream of dominating the dungeon records in a new server. Who would have thought that their dreams would have ended already in the Spider Cave? Not only that but they were only off by ten seconds. His brothers were all depressed and Blue River wasn't feeling good either.
"Stolord… …" Discussing the name, Blue River and everyone else were at a loss. The guilds that wrestled for power from Blue Brook Guild mainly did so in the heavenly domain. After competing for so many years, they all learned of each other's experts. This time, all of the experts that were sent out to the tenth server had been scouted out. The information was thorough and accurate. But Stolord had never appeared in their list of names. Was it possible that it that he snuck in?
"Is there any information on his four teammates?" Blue River asked.
"None." All of the brothers said.
Get in touch with all of our brothers in each of the villages. See if anyone knows him." Blue River said. Beginners were put into villages randomly. Even their Blue Brook Guild people couldn't meet up with each other easily, most of them were on their own. While they leveled up, they also dug out future prospects. When they reached level 20 and left beginner village, they would join together after establishing a guild.
The Blue Brook Guild players that came were headed by Blue River. And his side naturally became the command center. In reality, no big guild would go so far as to cover all of the beginner villages. The player distribution was too random so it wasn't possible to be so precise. But when Blue River once again went into Spider Cave to quickly level up, the information they had requested finally arrived.
Only, this information not only didn't tell them clearly who those players were, but instead made the situation even more chaotic.
The information report told them that outside of the Green Forest at some village, just then Sleeping Moon had slandered and criticized Stolord saying that he had intentionally tricked and robbed them of the hidden BOSS.
"What type of hideous mess is this?" Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.
This Stolord swindled a player to obtain the first hidden BOSS kill and then formed a party with that player to be the first to clear Spider Cave? This odd situation made these five experienced veterans to be extremely puzzled.
"Let's not worry about this first. Let's hurry up and train. There'll definitely be an opportunity to meet them when we reach level 20." Blue River said gloomily and continued to lead his party.
Outside of some village's Spider Cave, Seven Fields and the others were still immersed in the excitement of being the first ones to clear a dungeon and couldn't free themselves from it. They were lacking compared to Blue River and those experts by several grades. As a result, with regards to a first clear, it was basically a dream come true. Who would have thought that they truly had the chance to complete it? In that moment, they were excited beyond words.
And their great leader Stolord? He was still deathly silent. He only dully said a few words: "Pretty good experience!"
"Expert, it's all thanks to you!" Seven Fields and the others all surrounded Stolord. After playing Glory for so long, today was the day they finally understood what peak expert meant. A peak expert could let novices like them clear a difficult dungeon with ease. Seven Fields felt that for this sort of expert, even leaving his guild to follow him was worth it.
In comparison to the other three in high spirits, Sleeping Moon's mood was quite gloomy. What had originally been his hated enemy turned into his brothers' hero. Not only that but just a moment ago in the dungeon, he himself looked like a vile person giving his brothers a bad opinion of him. Now, if he didn't say anything, then his face really would just fall off. Sleeping Moon grinded his teeth and jumped in front of Stolord: "Your skill is really good. I admit to this. Only, I swear that there will be a day I catch up to you!"
"Are you serious?" Ye Xiu laughed.
"Yes!" Sleeping Moon said in an extremely provocative manner.
"Go for it!" Ye Xiu replied back and left.
"D*mn… …" Sleeping Moon was about to go insane. You should look down on me. You should hate me! You should mocking me! Wasn't this how experts were supposed to respond to challenges? To not care and just say "Go for it!" as if nothing had happened, what was that?
"Little Moon Moon, knock it off." Seven Fields went over to ease him.
"F*ck, you're the Little Moon Moon." Sleeping Moon said angrily.
"Calm down, calm down. Let's hurry up and train." The other two brothers Sunset Clouds and Drifting Water called out. Then, they gladly and diligently caught up to Stolord to try make him their good friends.
"D*mn, why didn't they call me over too?" Seven Fields immediately rushed over.
While Sleeping Moon grinded his teeth, he unexpectedly received a friend request from Stolord.
Decline. Sleeping Moon happily declined it.
If he asked again… … Sleeping Moon thought. But that sort of development didn't happen. Stolord had already entered the dungeon. Seven Fields and the two others followed closely. Sleeping Moon had been swept to the side. Only after a long time did he receive an invite from Seven Fields. Sleeping Moon was depressed. When they entered the dungeon, d*mn, the four others didn't wait for him at all. They slaughtered their way through and as if he weren't there.
Sleeping Moon wanted to leave the dungeon, but Seven Fields invited him again. Sleeping Moon still enjoyed his brother's concerns, so he had seconds thoughts thinking that he couldn't ignore his brother's concern just because of that guy. In the end, he still caught up with them. Seven Fields still had a good relationship with him. He keenly discovered that Sleeping Moon wasn't feeling too good and sent another private message to cheer him up. Sleeping Moon's mood improved a lot.
This time, they breezed through the dungeon just like before. In an instant, they slaughtered their way through. Without saying another word, they entered for a third round. But when they entered the dungeon they received a system prompt: You have mistakenly entered the Spider Emperor's Cave.
"Hidden BOSS." Seven Fields cried out in alarm and then looked to Stolord.
If they didn't have this expert, they definitely wouldn't dare attempt the hidden BOSS. The system also empathized on this point. The hidden BOSS wouldn't stop players from clearing a dungeon. They could kill it or choose not to. Killing the final BOSS was still the end goal. Now, the players unanimously looked towards Stolord. They wanted to see if this expert had a way to defeat the hidden BOSS.
"Oh, there's a hidden BOSS!" Ye Xiu said, "Heh, if it's a hidden BOSS… …"
"We can't kill it?" Seven Fields and the others were a little disappointed.
"It's not that we can't kill it. I just have a few conditions. The Spider Emperor should drop Strong Spider Silk. Can you guys give me this? I'll give up on the other materials and equipment. You guys can have them all." Ye Xiu said.
"No problem!!" Seven Fields and the others almost didn't think about the proposal before agreeing. At this moment, the value of this expert had already surpassed those precious drops from the hidden BOSS. They were more worried about finding a way to express their good will. Who would have thought that this expert would come up with this demand? That was truly a relief. Even if he wanted all of the drops, Seven Fields and the others wouldn't hesitate to agree either.
In addition, Seven Fields, this guy, wanted to express his goodwill even further. He turned around and said: "Little Moon Moon. Give the party leader over to brother expert!"
"If you say that again, I'm going to kill you!" Sleeping Moon grinded his teeth.
"Ha ha. Isn't it cute? Why don't you like it?" Seven Fields laughed, but he didn't joke too excessively and immediately followed up: "If you don't want me to call you that, then I won't call you that! Give the party leader position to brother expert."
Sleeping Moon understood his meaning. By giving him the party leader position and then letting him set up the party, they would thoroughly dispel all of his doubts towards them. He would then have complete trust between them. Reaching this step, Sleeping Moon finally understand at last. Stolord didn't need any plots. If he really wanted everything, then with just a word, his three brothers would have no complaints. Sleeping Moon had no other choice, so he transferred the position to him.
In the end, Stolord didn't make any changes and only said "Let's continue", so he continued to lead everyone.
Their killing method didn't change and everything proceeded without a hitch. Ahead, a fork appeared on the main road of the Spider Cave. Everyone knew which one of the roads led to the Spider Emperor's den. Stolord didn't hesitate and directly headed towards the Spider Emperor. The four others followed closely behind.
This side road wouldn't appear in the normal dungeon. On the way, there were a few spider eggs. When the players moved close to them, they began hatching. Extremely small spiders jumped out and attacked the players. Their damage wasn't high, but they were small and nimble, not easy to hit. The four players opened their eyes wide until they almost popped out. It would basically take three to five strikes to hit it once. But for Stolord, with a just a lift of his Parasol, he would hit one after another without fail, cleaning them up rapidly. Seeing that the four others were having trouble, he turned around to provide assistance. The four others all held their breath. Without this person, although they could've reached the Spider Emperor, this road would've taken them an hour.
"Do you think we'll be the first ones to kill the Spider Emperor?" Drifting Water looked forward to the future.
"This depends on our luck. We won't know if we'll meet it early enough." Seven Fields said.
"We were the first ones to clear it, meaning we were the earliest to go into the Spider Cave the second time. Our speed wasn't slow either. Now this is our third round and there hasn't been an announcement for it yet. I feel that our chances are good." Drifting Water analyzed.
"Without strength, even if we met the Spider Emperor, we wouldn't dare to kill it!" Sunset Clouds sighed.
"Luckily we have brother expert." Seven Fields said.
"Right right right." Those two parroted.
"You guys make me sick" Sleeping Moon exceptionally disdained upon how these three were always trying to curry favor with Stolord. He wasn't scared of Stolord hearing of it either.
The three players all felt embarrassed and became somewhat angry towards Sleeping Moon. As for their previous hostility, that fellow was also in the wrong, why couldn't he just move back a step? Seven Fields once again sent Sleeping Moon a private message to educate him. Sleeping Moon obviously couldn't reason over Seven Fields. In the end, he could only show off a "I'm not feeling well anyways" attitude. Seven Fields was getting impatient too. When Sleeping Moon said he wasn't feeling well, Seven Fields told him to just leave the dungeon and get out! And stop causing trouble for them.
Sleeping Moon felt sad and wronged. Did the time finally arrive for those peasants to leave him for the expert?
"We're here." Ye Xiu continued to be at the very front. Seeing that there was another cave in the Spider Cave, he knew that this was the Spider Emperor's den.
"How do we kill it?" Seven Fields asked.
"You guys wait a bit. I'm going to go look up a guide." Ye Xiu said.
The four others immediately went into chaos. What was this situation? To look up a guide when they reached a crisis, what was this sort of last-minute preparation?
"Brother expert, you..." Seven Fields didn't know how convey it. In the end, he saw that Stolord just stood there without any response. He really did go out of the game to look up a guide. The four were at a loss! They had already judged him as an ultra-high level expert, but how could this sort of thing happen to such an expert?
"Could it be… … he switched with someone else?" Seven Fields guessed an idea that caused everyone to be alarmed.
"As I said before! How could such an awesome expert not stay in the heavenly domain! Why would he be here alone in this new server!?" Drifting Water said.
"F*ck, it was a true expert that helped play with us, but now that a fake expert's switched in? Wouldn't he have to run off and look at a guide?" Sunset Clouds said.
Brother expert, how could you just abandon us like this? Couldn't you have at least helped us clear the dungeon!? Tears streamed down the three player's cheeks. Sleeping Moon hadn't uttered a word, but he suddenly had another guess. This person had acted so calmly and without a reaction towards him. Didn't he have the same personality as the person he had met when they first bumped into each other?
Right when he couldn't free himself this type of difficult situation. Ye Xiu had already finished the guide and returned.
"Okay." Ye Xiu said.
"Brother expert… … you … …haven't switched players have you?" Seven Fields carefully asked.
"Switched players?" Ye Xiu didn't understand.
"Has this account been played by you the entire time?" Seven Fields asked.
"Yup!" Ye Xiu said.
"Then I don't really understand. Why would such an amazing expert need to look at a guide? Seven Fields said.
"I haven't done this dungeon in so many years. If I didn't look at a guide, I wouldn't remember how to beat it." Ye Xiu said.
"Then before… …"
"I had also looked up a guide!" Ye Xiu said.
The four players were dumbstruck.
"When?" Seven Fields asked.
"After learning skills, I glimpsed at a few. But they were too long, I hadn't read up to the hidden BOSS." Ye Xiu said.
The four continued to be puzzled. They had all studied a Spider Cave guide beforehand. But there was no guide that was similar to how Stolord commanded. What guide did he look at?
Ye Xiu had already begun explaining how to fight the Spider Emperor: "Just a moment ago, I looked at the Spider Emperor's description. To confront him, we can still use the same strategy as we did against the web-spitting one. After surrounding it, we chain-stun it. But here's the difficult part, the Spider Emperor will keep on spawning spider eggs, which can't be interrupted by any skill or effect. The spawned spider will be similar to the ones in the passageway, but their bites will cause a three second Stasis. Everyone knows about the Stasis status effect right? You cannot move or attack, but you can't be hurt either. Although there won't be any damage, it'll break up our formation. So we definitely can't be bitten by those small spiders."
"Then what should we do" Seven Fields asked.
"Let me be in charge of clearing these small spiders. Don't worry about them. So the hardest part will be whether the four of you can continuously chain-stun the Spider Emperor until its death."
