Chapter 201 Before the Battle



Liu Nian was also a little surprised because this boss was so tall that she could barely see its head by looking up.

Looking up from below, the creature is on all fours, which are very strong and about the size of a millstone; its skin is purple and blue, and its huge body is about ten meters wide, with small spikes covering its back.

What's most astonishing is that it actually has six heads, growing on a neck that's several meters long. When it opens its mouth, Liu Nian notices two rows of sharp teeth inside, which is chilling to look at.

Ignoring the noise around her, Liu Nian quickly started gathering information.

[Abyssal Multi-Headed Lizard]

Level: ? Attack Power: ? Defense Power: ? Health Points: ? Stamina: ? Skills: ?

Aside from the name, everything else is a question mark. Considering that Liu Nian is already level 19, if the information gathering shows this, this lizard is conservatively estimated to be level 25.

How do we fight this?

It's worth noting that the first tier is around level seventeen, while the second tier is around level twelve.

It seems this boss is way too overpowered. That's a bit obvious, how can a regional boss not be strong?

There were still a few minutes left before entry, and the other players were huddled together, seemingly lost in thought.

No one bothered Liu Nian, and he happily drew circles in the corner.

The fog gradually rolled towards the outer edge of the square, and warning sounds were heard.

Finally, a decision was reached, and several team leaders who appeared to be quite prestigious were selected to serve as commanders for this siege.

As for the vast majority of casual players, they can only be represented, not have a voice.

Even if you're dissatisfied, there's nothing you can do. You haven't even gathered enough people to form a group, and there's also the principle of majority rule.

"Due to time constraints, everyone please stand in an orderly fashion. Melee fighters on the left, ranged fighters on the right, and healers in the middle," a handsome man said in a gentle tone. Although his words were mild, his attitude left no room for doubt.

After he spoke, his supporters began to take positions according to his instructions.

The others didn't understand these principles, and seeing that the leader had stood in place first, they all began to stand in the way he had instructed.

The story has progressed well up to this point, but wherever there are people, there is conflict.

Some people think it's unreasonable, thinking they are the best in the world and no one can lead them, and refuse to obey management.

The other team leaders stood by and watched without offering any help, simply waiting to see how the man would handle the situation.

"Hmph, we've been waiting for you to take the bait!" The power of a team is greater than that of an individual, and the man nodded subtly to his subordinate.

A group of people walked out of the guild and headed towards the burly man who was disobeying orders.

Without waiting for him to speak, he grabbed his weapon and started fighting. His friend, seeing that there were many people on the other side, thought for a moment and put down his weapon.

Two fists can't fight four hands; the strong man was killed in public after only a few seconds.

After the strong man was killed, a faint light drifted almost imperceptibly into Liu Nian's shrine.

Liu Nian felt a heat around his waist, but the situation was urgent, so he didn't pay attention.

The number in the shrine increases: 1/1000

The others didn't see the faint light at all; their attention was focused on the headless corpse.

"I regret to inform you that, in order to prevent him from holding everyone back, I had no choice but to resort to this measure. This is a decision made by the group, and I hope everyone can cooperate with my work," Zhou Jin, the man, said righteously.

Making an example of someone to scare others—that's the method, and the most effective one right now.

The leaders of the major guilds have already reached a consensus, so what does the right of casual players matter?

They might have already divided up the spoils after killing the boss. If you're kind-hearted, you might get a sip of soup, but if you're ruthless, you won't even get a bone scrap.

If you disobey, prepare to die; the corpses on the ground are the best proof.

In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary, and this approach is particularly effective here.

A commotion arose in the crowd, but those who had been bribed by Zhou Jin rallied the crowd, and everyone except those who knew him obediently followed his lead, quickly silencing any dissent.

Liu Nian was no exception. Although he was very strong, he was not strong enough to stand up against the elite of the entire city of A.

However, this also made him realize once again the importance of a team.

He had already recalled the undead legion into his spatial storage. In any case, very few people knew him, and he needed to observe how the situation would develop.

Because he was a ranged attacker, he was assigned to the mage's position.

Having learned from past mistakes, the three formations were quickly established: healers, ranged attackers, and melee attackers.

Melee fighters make up the largest number of the team, accounting for 75% of the total, making its team quite bloated.

Ranged units are the next best, since archers and mages are both considered ranged units.

The fewest are in the healing profession, with only a handful of people.

After the number of people was allocated, everyone entered the venue in turn.

Thick fog had begun to gather around the square, and no one wanted to be eliminated just like that.

Upon entering, the boss did not launch an attack and remained standing still on one side of the plaza.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The tasks hadn't been assigned yet, and if it attacked now, it would definitely catch them off guard.

Team cohesion is not easy; it takes time, and time is exactly what we lack right now.

Liu Nian and the other forty-nine people were assigned to a team.

The maximum team size is fifty people, and the maximum number of people in a team is five.

If you want to go even bigger, then you have to create a guild. But creating a guild requires a guild token, and Liu Nian has no luck; he's never managed to get a guild token before.

In the final large-scale battle, which split into more than ten groups, ranged and healing units only occupied two groups, further illustrating the scarcity of ranged classes.

While the positions were still being assigned, the surrounding mages were openly and secretly trying to win over the few lone wolf mages.

The distinction for a lone wolf is quite clear. Just like the adventurer's emblem, whenever a member joins the guild, a guild badge is issued to him.

Since you don't have one, you're most likely a lone wolf.

What? You're saying you just don't want to wear it?

It's not that it's impossible, but asking isn't a heinous crime, and what if it works out?

He declined offers of recruitment from other mages. City A was so big, their teams might be famous, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that he had no intention of joining any other guild.

[Player Lü Ming was detected using information collection against you]

[Trial proceedings successfully initiated, information gathering failed]

[Player Wu Xin was detected using your information collection function]

[Trial proceedings successfully initiated, information gathering failed]

[Player Zheng Kai was detected using your information collection function]

[Trial effect successfully activated; information gathering level reduced by one]

[Your mental strength is higher than the opponent's intelligence, rendering information gathering ineffective.]

It's clear that lone wolves without a team are starting to be targeted.

The opponents' levels were getting higher and higher, but Liu Nian had a special card called Judgment, which exempted him from their detection.

However, this also reveals that he is of a very high rank.

"This one-eyed dragon is not simple." This was the conclusion reached by the three mages. The highest-ranking mage, Zheng Kai, was already level seventeen, ranking twenty-fifth on the level list, and was the chief mage of Zhou Jin's guild "Mercenary World".

The story begins with his subordinate, Lü Ming, gathering information and checking the levels of the other mages one by one.

The others were simply unaware of the attributes, but they were completely outmatched by Liu Nian.

He didn't believe it and asked his friend for help, but the result was the same. His friend found the situation interesting and went to Zheng Kai for help.

Zheng Kai originally thought he was absolutely certain of success, but just like them, he couldn't find anything.

Of course, he couldn't show weakness in front of his subordinates. Zheng Kai rambled on and on to gloss over the matter, but in his heart, he was secretly wary of Liu Nian and put away his contempt.

"It seems there are hidden masters among the common people," he thought to himself as he glanced in Liu Nian's direction.
